THE
NOT AS BAD AS PAINTED.
Wilmington may not be what It
should be with regard to the charges
that have been brought as to certain
moral conditions ; alleged to exist in
the city, hut she is willing to pl
her record alongside that of any
other city similarly situated. One
swallow doesn't make the spring, it
has been said, neither does one dtunk
make a sodden city. The Dispatch is
in receipt of a letter written by a
sailor lad concerning an incident
here last Saturday in which those
who are prone to take the soldiers
to task as a body for what one of
their number was unfortunately guil
ty of, in which the holier-than-thous
are given a good hard lick right be
tween the eyes, provided the circum
scribed space between the hair and
the nose As . big enough to get hit.
We wish we were able to publish the
letter, but because of certain rules
of ethics we do not consider it would
be proper for us to do so.
Of course there are blind tigers in
Wilmington, and they are in every
other city in this or any other State.
The "man with the price may buy
whiskey, or the stuff that passes for
whiskey, in almost any city of this
size and it is said that in many of
them it can be had a great deal easier
than here.
By all means root out the blind ti
ger and all other immoral elements
to be found here; wipe them out com
pletely, but there is no need to paint
conditions worse than they are in do
ing so. A little more effort and less
hot air would accomplish better re
sults. If the city is not good, get
busy and clean it up, but because
there is a dark spot, don't for heav
en's 6ake, try to accuse the whole
city of being rotten.
THE WORLD KNOWS.
"Czernin lied!"
That was one of the most seriois
charges that could be brought against
an ordinary individual, much less tb.3
spokesman of a great nation. Yet
that is what Premier Clemenceaa
said in answer to the Austro-Hungar-ian
foreign minister's statement that
France had offered to open peace ne
gotiations with the dual empire. No
man, much less a man of the high
standing in the affairs of the world
occupied by Premier Clemenceau.
would make such charge? against in
other great statesman unless thre
was the greatest provocation.
Count Czernin, for some purpose,
whether in a cheap effort to save
himself in the eyes of King Charles,
bu more especially in the eyes of
jmperor William, or whatever his
reason might have been, issued . a
declaration in which he sough to
cast a cloud upon the faithfulness of
France to her allies in this war. The
statement was designed, no doubt, io
create distrust among the Entente
powers. France's Premier saw
through the scheme, and, knowing
that such a charge must be met with
a bold and convincing denial, he
broke precedents and diplomatic lan
guage to smithereens by saying:
"Czernin lied."
There was no room left for quib
bling; there was no loophole
for astute politicians to twist the
words of the French Premier into a
meaning different from what was in-
tended by the author of the state
ment. It was a great big, staring
sign pinned acrosa the world's polit
ical horizon, proclaiming
"Czernin lied."
XrYtfftw!11 there could &e to it- The
Austrian and German officials may
send each other messages re-affirm
ing their allegiance to the cause of
the Central Powers; the monarchs
may re-swear their faith in each
other, but the rest of the world will
always believe just what Clemencaau
said :
w
Czernin lied.
THE SWEET POTATO.
Mr. D. J. Fergus has a communica
tion in thii afternoon's ' Dispatch
which Is most timely to the people of
New Hanover county and Eastern
Carolina. He gjves the benefit of his
experience in saving sweet potatoes
for consumption throughout the year,
and incidentally says a good word in
behalf of this tuber as an article of
food value.
It has occurred to us- often that not
enough attention- has been given to
the production of sweet potatoes, and
its food value has not been exploit
ed for its true worth.
As Mr. Fergus exprasses it, the
sweet potato is palatable and nour
ishing food for any or all of the three
daily meals, and makes a most sat
isfying lunch for between meals. It
is capabfc of many different prepar
ations or table use, all comparatively
eair'V; ay cook. It can be. mad
into an excellent dish for breakfast,
dinner (or lunch) and supper (or din
ner), he many ways in whiefc
WILMINGTON DISPATCH,
it 'l may be served "make it available
for frequent use.
Sweet potatoes are not of extraor
dinary trouble to produce, but rather;
the., amount of labor and other cost
involved, in growing them is much
smilie than in many other crops.
And - the yield is prolific. It has been
stated that from 150 to 200 bushels
may . be produced , per acre of land,
and that these; may be marketed even
a dollar per bushel at a profit to the
producer. When the. present price is
considered, which is above $2 per
bushel, the great profit in raising
them is readily seen. Farmers have
in this crop not only a money-maker,
but a strong addition to their food
supply.
. Sweet potatoes may be kept
through the winter if - proper care ia
used, and Mr. Fergus has given the
benefit of his experience which has
been a success, even under the ad
verse conditions of living near salt
water, where th conditions created by
moisture make saving difficult. Be
sides preserving the potatoes, as he
suggests, there Is a method now be
ing quite extensively used in some
sections by which the potatoes are
cured by a process which renders
them easy of preserving in a pala
table form for future use. One of
these .plants, potato dryers, is located
near New Bern,, we. believe, and is
said to be successfully curing the po
tatoes for home and market use.
There are many other things pro
duced on the farm for eating purpos
es much inferior to the sweet potato,
and ven should the time ever come
when people would have to subsist
wholly on this article of food th?y
would not be in such bad circ nu
stances.

RAISE SWEET POTATOES.
Wilmington, N. C, April 16, 1918.
Editor of The Dispatch:
I gave you an article last year on
the importance of North Carolina pro
ducing a large sweet potato crop, and
proved by an analysis made by Mr.
George Catlett, the city chemist, that
the sweet potato was far superior as
a food for the human race than the
Irish potato. In fact, it is the most
complete food that is produced by
man from the soil, as it requires no
seasoning before, it is put upon the
table. It will not only sustain life;
but it will fatten and make mankind
healthy and saucy.
I think it would be wise for the
newspapers of the State and the
county farm demonstrators to im
press upon the farmer the importance
of producing a large sweet potato
crop. They not only take the place
of bread, but of meat also, as they
are a delightful dish to have on the
table three times a day, and nothing
is better between meals than a cold
Porto Rico sweet potato as a lunch.
I would like also to suggest to the
farmer a method of saving the sweet
potato crop: After a good many years
of experience I have found that it was
best to dig potatoes before the frost
kills the vines for two reasons. 1.
That, the rains wash the hills so that
it exposes a good many of the ends
of the potatoes, and while these do
not show when they are dug. they
will rot after they are banked, and
cause a good many others that were
sound to rot also. 2. It is a well
known fact that potatoes grown from
the vines keep better than those
grown from the sprouts, which fact
goes to prove that a potato will keep
better when it is in a growing state
than after it is fully matured and al
lowed to stay in the ground. I have
seen potatoes after the vines were
killed by frost and a wet spell of
weather set in so they could not be
dug at once get water sogged and
rot in the ground before they were
dug, which makes it the wisest to
dig them before the frost kills the
vines.
I have found the best way to house
them is to take a flour barrel, have
both heads In and saw the barrel in
two. then have rope handles. Let two
men follow the diggers, pick them up
as they are dug. as the sun will blis
ter them if left to dry on the ground
and cause them to rot. Then put
these half barrels in a wagon, carry
them right to the banks and pour
them out. By this method you only
handle the potatoes one time, which
saves them from being bruised, which,
of course, causes them to rot. One
of ifcheo first essentials is having the
grchind" where you plant potatoes well
drained, and I will venture to say or
dinarily manured, the ground will
produce a larger bulk of sweet pota
toes than anything else that you can
plant.
I have found that It Is best to se
lect a high, dry place and put about
25 bushels of potatoes to a bank in a
pyramidical shape. Then put about
enough straw sufficient to cover them
well, then put exactly that much
more, then you will be certain to have
the straw thick enough. Let them
stand this way until the weather be
comes cold; then put earth over them
sufficient to. protect them from a
freeze. On top of the bank put a
ventilator composed of two six-inch
strips nailed together in the shape of
a trough about two feet long. Let
this rest on top of the straw, then
put the earth over the trough, so as
to hold it in place, and by the ends
being left open it will act a3 a ven
tilator to the bank. I suggest about
25 bushels to the bank on account of
taking the bank down all at one time.
Yours very respectfully,
D J. FERGUS.

GERMAN PRISONERS TO
U
I
Those At Hot' Springs. Are to
Be Offered Farm
Work
(By George H. Manning.)
Washington, D. C, April 17. The
German and Austrian prisoners of war
held by the War Department at the
internment camp at Forb McPherson,
Georgia, are to be compelled to work
on the Georgia roads or farms.
The civilian prisoners arrested by
the Department of Justice and now
interned at Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia,
in charge of the War Department, are
to be offered work of the same char
acter and may undertake it or not as
they please. '
The enemy aliens confined at the
civilian camp under the Department
of Labor at Hot Springs, N. C, are to
be offered work, on the farms but they
will be given the option of working or
remaining within their camp and do
ing the odd' jobs incidental to "the
camp upkeep.
Because of the general criticism di
rected by the people towards the at
titude of the government in permitting
the imprisoned Germans and Aps
trians to remain idle the War Depart
ment and Labor Department made an
investigation to determine what au
thority they had under international
law to put the prisoners to work.
At the close of the investigation it
was decided to apply to the German
and Austrian prisoners the same treat
ment accorded by England and France
to the captured Germans and by Ger
many to the prisoners of the Entente
Allied nations.
The other nations are compelling
the prisoners of war (that is, mem
bers of the organized armed forces)
'to perform daily work, but the civilian
prisoners (men not actually combat
ants) are not compelled to do any
thing more than care for the upkeep
of their camps, unless they volunteer
for day labor outside.
Prisoners of war at Fort McPher
son are to be paid for the work they
perform. This salary will be used to
pay for their upkeep and what is left
over, estimated to be about 25 cents
a day, will be used to buy them to
bacco, cigars and other luxuries, the
War Department states.
The same rule will apply to the civ
ilian prisoners at the camps at Fort
Oglethorpe and Hot Springs. They
are to be offered work on the farms.
It is believed in some quarters they
will not accept this farm work in the
belief that in so doing they will be
aiding the enemy. Other officials be
lieve they will undertake it because
if they do not they will be kept bus
ily at work preparing their food, build
ing and maintaining their camp and
work on the truck farm operated inj
connection with their camp to raise!
vegetables for their table. If they
agree to work outside they will have
practically no more work to perform
and will have m5re liberty and receive
same salary.
The men at Fort McPherson were
members of the German naval forces
aboard the Kronprinz Wilhelm ar d
other German ships that put into
Norfolk and Pacific ports and in
terned. When war was declared bv
the United States they automatica.lv
became prisoners of war.
The prisoners at Fort Oglethorpe
are civilian Germans and Austrians
who were rounded up by the Depart
ment of Justice and turned over to
the War Department.
The American prisoners in Ger
many, both war and civilian prisoners,
are receiving scarcely enough food
from the Germans to keep them alivt.
it is asserted by the War Department
But the civilian prisoners at Hot
Springs are being given all the food
they need, and food experts have re
peatedly declared that the war pris
oners at Fort MacPherson and Fc rt
Oglethorpe are being given twice as
much food as men of their habits re
quire. The American prisoners in Ger
many would have difficulty in main
taining life on the German rations j
alone, it is said. With the aid of the
American Red Cross they are receiv
ing all the food they need. As soon
