The Immediate Causes If we consider nothing that is fur ther back than the events of last Jui ind August, there senr.s to be no m". for doubt that Austria began i. and in doing so was supported Germany. The Germans, however, claim that the real causes of the wa lie further back, and that Russia was the real aggressor. Russia, accords to the German view, had for some time been urging Servia to provoke Austria to war, with the understand ing that Servia would be supported by the Czar's armies.

Our 1'ilei vention in Mexico The year was a tragic one for Mexi co, too. the "reign of terror" has eo.v t-nueri. Little if any improvement can be seen. Early in the year great pressure was brought to bear on the United States, by the chief powers of Europe They wished this country to enforce peace, or at least to enforie respect for the rights of foreigners. Euro pean governments argued that, as oui Monr"" Doctrine prevented theri from attacking Mexico to protect their sub jeets, the United States was bov:v to protect them. Our Government tried to do so. Gen. Victoriano Hucr ta, who had been made Provisional President by the murder of President Madero, took toward the United States an attitude of defiance and con tempt. Unwillingly President Wilson and Secretary Bryan were forced to conclude that at least a show of force was necessary. The crisis came when several American bluejackets were ar rested while on a lawful errand to Mexican waters, and Huerta refuse to apologize or salute the Amerlcai. flag in token of regret. Congress ur held the President and Secretary of State in the position they had ta1ce. On April 21 our forces unoe command of Admiral Fletcher seized the custom house at Vera Cruz, U prevent Huerta obtaining revenues and military supplies. There was n fight in which 17 American bluejacr: ets were killed and as many more wounded. The Mexican troops tlien abandoned Vera Cruz. Qur troor held it until late in the year, at that I'tp t! e M"vican revolution had bee so far t uccessfu! that Gen. Hi-crta ha . been overthrown and banished: Cei I Carranza the first chi"f of the olution was installed in his place i . Mexico City, and it was hoped th:. ,' gjod crdcr would follow. Thi s?

I Good Kei'jlts cf Intervention ' Intervention by th.c United Stat .has done this much jrood: it Ti ' taucrht all Mexican factions that the ' must respect the rights of America ; and other foreigners.

What Congress Accomplished The session of Congress was the ,onffPst on' m.or,ifrcm December 1 to Uctober 24, 1U14. it passe: many important bills which are ne lie-vd to be for the benefit of th. i-o -.nil y. Chief among them was t1 I'eileial Reserve banking act, whi-.l provides an clastic currency and i expected to make this country proof against sudden financial panics. An other important measure authorized too President to build a railroad h Alaska, at a cost of 840,000.001); air another provided for the lease, no sale of Alaska coal lands. The ia exempting Ameriean coastwise e s-ls from paying tolls when goin through the Panama Canal was re pealed, it being held to conflict wi.' our treaty obligations. Speaker (''! denounced the repeal as "humiliating' and "disgarding." Several lavs ver passed for better control of railroad: and trusts. The war in Europe cost the Unit in states heavilv. Revenues from cus toms duties fell off, because ocea commerce was almost destroyed. Con i press at the request of the Preside" (passed a bill intended to raise $100, ' 000,000 by new taxes, chiefly upo liquors, tobacco, amusements ar- banks.

LONG LEAF PINE FOR KRAFT PAPERS Kraft paper is a kind of brownish paper used for wrapping. It has bee- found recently that longleaf pine treated by the sulphate process and properly handled will give excellent kraft pulps and papers. This discov ery is of special importance at this time because war has cut off the Oc man supply to this country. This re use for longleaf pine furnishes a means of utilizing the waste in slabs edgings, trimmings, etc., from tv Southern mills. tinent.

NEAR DEATH BY SMOTHERING Cut Kas'oand, Willi Aid of Cardui, Effects Her Deliverance. Draper, N C Mrs. Helen Dalton, ol this place, says: "1 suffered for years, wnn pains in my left side, and would often almost smother to death. Medicines patched me up for awhile but then 1 would get wonse again. Final ly, my husband decided he wanted me to try Cardui, the woman's tonic, so h; bought me a bottle and I began using it. It did me more good than au the medi cines 1 had taken. I have induced many of my friends to try Cardui, and they all say they have been benefited by its use. There never has been, and never will be, a medicine to compare with Cardui. 1 believe it is i good medicine for all womanly trou bles." For over 50 years, Cardui has been re lieving woman's sufferings and building weak women up to health and strength. If you are a woman, give it a fair trial. It should surely help you, as it has a million others. Get a bottle of Cardui to-day. Wriu tr: Chittanoota Mdle!n C..

It shows that i cotton crop of last year amounted to 950,000 bales at $31,248,000, which is ?lfi,3t)0,000 less than the 79,000 bales of 1913 brought. The yield per acre last year was 293 pounds against 2"9 in 1913. The North Carolina apple crop lar' year was 9,000,000 bushels against 3,000,000 the year before, but the price per bushel in 1914 was 49 cents against 70 cents in 1913. The 1914 crop brought $4,320,000 and that of 1913, 2,700,000. North Carolina is the second tobac co State in the Union, Kentucky be ing nrst. li'e iNortn Carolina crop last year was 172,250,000 pounds at $19,809,000, against 167,500,000 pounds in 1S13, at 30,988,999, mak - ing a difference of $11,079,000 in fa vor of 1913. The corn crop of 1914 is worth more by $845,000 than that of 191.". was to ion.n Carolina ana tne wheat crop $175,000 more. The Outlook calls attention to ti c fact that North Carolina bought out side of her borders lagt year the fo' lowing quantities of food stuffs: Wheat, 5,234,000 bushels, for $5,810,- 000; corn, 5,276,000, at $4,376,000; oats. 1.814.000. nr.

When a German soldier falls in bat tle lie is identified by a little metai disc which he carries. This disc bears a number, and this number is tele graphed to Berlin.
