In North '■ Carolina as well as elsewhere there ; were and are still many people who do not uppear to think or bellave ' the war will amount to much to I America. Those who believe that way had Just as well revise • their way of thinking now. Ameri ca is not only in the war, but is in the fighting in front of the Ger ii man linea. In the pat 4rn duya | some soldier from about every i State in the I'nited States has r has been killed or wounded in bat- V tie. Our own State has one re s•: ported killed. All deplore the loaa of any American in this war, but the news comes that our sol dier* have done their part brave ly and reflected honor upon their *... country. Their conduct has been I' complimented by the Allies, Husaia was compelled by Germany 1 | to accept hard peace term* from |. Germany after she had laid down ] | arms and was in n» fix to resent ( the Intrigue. Germany hits sliced jff off a large domain from Hukhlj and much of Russia's most value- ( We possessions. The people nre | rising up against the .ietraynl ot ( their country °iy Bolahevlc leaders and it now looks like the war in ( Rueala will be of long duration and I that Russia will suffer much in 1 bloodshed and devastation. i Tuesday Only Meatless Day. Temporary suspension of the meatless uieal nnd of tho special restrictions the use of pork ou Hat urtlity is announced by tbe food administration as a read justment of its food conservation Srograinino. Increased moat pro notion and tho necessity for still gruater saving in wheat, it whs declared, make the change ad visable. The suspension is for an indefinite period, nnd probably will last three months or longer. Since all restrictions on con- P sumption of mutton and lamb had been lifted previously, tho food administration now usks tho pub lio for the time being to deny itself in meats only beef and pork on one day a week—'Tuesday. Increased meat consumption, food administration officials be lieve, will of itself curtail the me of wheat and for the present there is no intention to add to the re strlotlona already in force ngninsi the nse of flour. Billion s Month For War The money cost of tho war to tbe United State* is still running near a billion dollars a month. I I Despite official forecasts of steadi ly Increasing expenditures from inonth to mouth, the government's outlay in February, according to A Treasury statement, was slight ly leas thAii lu either January or December, and would have been approximately the same If the mouth had been as long m other months. -**" Expenditure*- amounted toll,- 002,878,008, of which two-thirds was for ordinary war expenses, and $326,000,000 waa in loans to allied governments.

The first disturbance came before Mr. Bryan's entry, whan the chalrmaa told the audience thsy were to be honored by listening to the fraternal I delegate of the Antlßaloon league of America, "one of tb* foremost cltlsen* of our ally." When Mr. Bryan came In, pandemonium broke loo**. Mo*t 1 of the audience stood, waved hand- kerchiefs and cheered him, but the anawsrlng hoots from the gallery out lasted the cheers. For Ave minutes Mr. Bryan tried vainly to make himself heard. The Interruption kept right on and the In terrupters sang "Rule Britannia" and "God Save the King." Enthusiastic prohibitionists who wished to hear Mr. Bryaa, hurled aero** the hall counter-call* of "put them out" and your fair play?" *Bbe chairman wa* heard to lar something about ejecting the la tennpters.

Then a man of the army medical corps dressed In uniform waa hoisted ou the platform. "Boys, they are fighting for free dom at the front; they are also fight ing for freedom of thought. Why should we interrupt the meetingT" he appealed to th* gallery. The appeal waa In vain.

WOULO NOT SIGN 11 FIRST Turkey I* Beneficiary of Chang* Mad* IN Terme—Germany Claima 66,000 Ruselana Racantly Captured. Russia baa bowed to the Teutonic all lea. The bolahevlkl commissioners sent to Breat-Utovak bare signed the treaty of peace presented by the Ger mans, according to an official state ment from Berlin, which says that military movements In Great Russia have ceased. It was reported on February 23 by the bolahevlkl commissioners that they were about to slfn the treaty. This report was telegraphed to Lenine and Trtotky after the delegates sant to Brest-LUovsk had met the Ger man emissaries. There Is little In formation available as to the details of the meeting between the peace del egations, but the bolahevlkl say they realised that any further delay would mean more onerous conditions and they would sign the treaty without further discussions. Russia lost by the delay that en sued when Trotsky announced that the war so far a« Russia was con cerned, had ended, but refused to sign the formal treaty. In the inter val between the breaking up of the Aral Brest-Lltovsk meeting and the one held lately, the central powers added materially to the demands which were outlined when the now famous "Hoffman line" was drawn by the commander of tU* Owrman forces on the eastern front. Turkey Benefits. Turkey waa the beneficiary of these changee In the peace terms. The new demands Included that Ruasla relln l qulsh the regions of Bstoum, Kara and Karaband (Karabagh) to the Turka. These regions are In Trana caucaaia and mark a considerable ad dition to the anltan's dominions in that section of the world. The doc trine or the rifht of people* to self determination wu the pretext upon which the new termi were added to tho treaty. It 1* probable that the bolsherlkl delegation acceded to the new demand*.

They were told that the Americans were In front of them. Out From Their Nesta. After the artillery had nearly level ed tke American position, the Ger mans started out from their nests, each of which contained 40 Infantry men, one lieutenant and three pio neers to precede the Infantry and Ave to follow It. The two groups upon the American extreme right went around this flank and the group upon the extreme left carried out a similar movement there.

C&akl THE TRIANGULAR DEBATE. So Far 300 Schools in Debate- Other Items. Cor. of The (Meaner. Chapel Hill, N. C., Fob. 26.- With only a month before) the tri angular debatea over the State, the North Carolina Debating Union is bard at work preparing for the final event. Secretary E. ft. Kankin reports a great amount of interest in this year's contest, and also in the athletic events which will be held at the same time during High Bchool Week, April 11-12. 8o far 300 separate high schools have entered the debating con leM. Many of the counties have many schools entered. Ilobeson has 11, Mecklenburg 10, Buncombe !), Guilford S, Alamance and Wake 7 each, Davidson (J, Dur ham 0, Gaston 6, Iredell 6, John ston C, Moore 0, Pitt ti, liowan 6, „V'utlitnd 6, Union 6, Wayne 6, l-llndcn, Duplin and Northampton, S. The following seven countiea are I lie ouly ones without--feny I'inw illation: Brunswick, Ilert- IV.nt, Jackson, J.ones, Madison, Mi'oliell and Watauga. Preparations are being made vigorously in the schools for the approaching Contest and the indi ct lions are that this year's con i»t,t will be one of the most sue- Wsfiful ;n the history of the Union. The Tar Ileel, student weekly iicwcpaper of the University, cele lnaied on February 23 the 25th anniversary of its establishment. It has been an important force on he campus during these years in promoting proper school spirit and furthering athletics and other siudent activities. The Tar Ileel >vas established just after Caro liiiii'b first football game with Vir ginia, and has given proper en couragement to all athletic efforts since. The paper has also numbered among its editors some of the most distinguished citizens of the State today, as well as many well known newspaper men. Dr. Charles ilarikerville, now a distinguished professor of Chemistry' in New York, was the first editor-in-chief, while Hon. Walter Murphy of Salisbury was the first managing editor. Judge Crawford Biggs and Dr. Howard ftondthaler were frequent contributors during the first year. The paper has had among its many editors President Graham, Prof. N. W. Walker, Italph H. Graves of the New York Times, Quincy S. Mills of the New York Sun, It. D. W. Connor, C. I'. Russell, Victor L. Stephenson, W. T. Bost, O. J. Coffin, White head Kluttz and others equally well known. The issue of the paper for last week gave a thorough review of it* interesting career. Two extension centers for study have already been organized by the University, and applications have been made for others. The ones already established are in and Raleigh. The Ralegh group has takeu up the study of Russia, and last week the first lecture was given by Prof. Edwin Greenlaw of the Uni versity. Over 100 people have joined. At Wiuaton-Salem th« general subject is "America and her Allies." The method of work contemplates the visit of three members of the faculty of the University at intervals of about three weeks.

I Ml OPPORTUNITY FOR TMIER Nation and Humanity Art flailing Upon Him for Servioe. PROFITS CONTINUE LARGE Production of food Crops Must Be Increased in Pace of Lar bor Shortage—Greatest Op portunity for Bigger Produc tion Lies in Utilisation of Wood Mold and Leaves. State's Fertiliser Bill $35,- 000,000; Manure Corp Worth $50,000,000 Crop Value Can be Increased $25,000,000 by Use of Wood Mold and Leaves. Raleigh.—North Carolina farmer* face the greatest opportunity. Joe serv ice and profit that the farm op of any country have ever had. With the fate of the war la Europe largely de pendent upon food suppllss and with half the world starring the opportu nity for service to country and hu manity Is unprecedented. With a world shortage of food aad feedstuffi of all kinds prices will continue to remain at their present high levels not only until the end of the war but for one to three years after the war. Ia the face oC a shortage of labor North Carolina termers must produce a larger total of corn, whest, cotton, soy beans, peas, potatoes, sorghum for syrup, hay crops and livestock. A larger acreage In these crops cannot be worked than was worked last yesr but the same acreage can be made to produce larger yields. Better soil preparation and better crop cultiva tion will Increase yields and profits to a large extent but Increased fertil isation must be depended upon for the greatest part of the Increase that Is so urgently desirable. Fertiliser Bill $36,000,000. There are 885,000 head of work stock upon the farms of North Carollaa. There was used upon the land culti vated by these animals last year more , than 880,000 tons of commercial fer tilizers and more than B,OOO tons of cottonseed meal. It Is extremely 1 doubtful If a larger supply of commer -1 ctal fertilizers will be available this year. If the same quantity Is used i this will represent a commercial , fertiliser bill of approximately $35,000,- : 000. The stable manure from 886,000 r head of work stock and approximately 700,000 head of cattle, If properly sav ed end utilized, would be worth et [ least $80,000,000. Here is an oppor | tunity for Increased fertilisation be cause many of our farmers have paid ! little attention heretofore to the mak -1 ing, saving and utilisation of stable ! manure. The Qreat«st Opportunity. The greatest opportunity, however, r lies In the utilisation of forest leaves , and wood mold. The past winter has , been ideal for the purpose of rotting ! leaves and there are very few farm ers la the State who have not aa op portunity to largely Increase their * production this year through the tfse - of this form of fertiliser. Agrleul ' tural experts are agreed that a ton of ■ dry forest leaves and wood mold con ) tains at present fertilizer values, $$ j worth of fertilizer Ingredients. This [ means that If Ave tons of leave* and . wood mold are used on every squlva -3 lent one-horse farm In North Caro tine the aggregate value of snch fer ttllsatlon would be more than $18,004,- 000, or .very nearly half the value of the State's commercial fertilizer bill of the year. The Children Can Help. ■ 1 The raking and hauling of forest 1 leeves and wood mold Is not a difficult * undertaking. The raking into plies * may be done hy the smaller children j or by the grown-ups during spare time and can be hauled between now . and planting time. Wood mold spread > upon wheat during the next three or l four weeks wIU largely Increase the 8 yield, according to the quantity used. ■ Wood mold and leaves spread upoa land that la to be planted In cotton, corn and other crops will very greatly 1 Increase yields and will render mor* t effective the fertilisers used. Hauling u ef leaves and wood mold should be j continued during *par* time even aft er the planting season of cotton and corn, being worked Into the ground during the cultlvatloa of tfcs crop. On wheat and other grain the results will not only be seen In the Increased ' production of grain, but In the lncrees ed production of hay or other cref * which follows. !" . A >25,0004)00 Inoreaae. " I Agricultural experts have estimated . that the production of food end feed >, crops in North Carolina could be la creased 9U.OOO.tXM) this year by th utilisation by farmers of this oppor s tunity for lacreaalag the fertility ot ~ their soil. It has been repeatedly y dsmlnstrated that the appUcaUoa ol p maaure and other vegetable metier h e aotlced In the land for several yean after the applloatlon so that the ap ' plication of leave* aad wood meld thli year will re*uH la not only taareaaiai the yields during the coming siassi hut during the years to eoaa. , V Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaeaeaaaeas • MODERN FARMING Modern farming Is reaching into what bnt a few year* pest we spoke of aa scientific farm ing. The modern farmer of this age has to deel with principles as wall aa facts to succeed In competition with hla neighbor. Who has already availed him self of the working principles that govern the production of hla crop*. Much of the credit for thla condition must be given to the painstaking practical re search work of the colleges, which has demonstrated cause and effect in practical agricul ture. An experiment that does not demonstrate the priadples that govern the result* 1* not complete and should not be ac cepted aa reliable evidence on which to establish farm prac tice.
