MOVES FOR AN ADDITIONAL MIL-

IN THE WAR.
NOW HAS OVER 1,250,000
Ever-Widening Theatre of War Re
quires Enlisting of Every Man of
Military Age.
London. Premier Asquith made his
long-expected statement on the Allies'
military position in the house of com
mons in connection with the introduc
tion of a "supplementary estimate"
providing for the raising of the numer
ical strength of the army from 3,000,
000 men to 4,000,000 men.
The house was crowded and the pre
mier's speech was listened to earnest
ly and silently. In the Peers' gallery,
Lord Fisher, the former first sea lord
and Earl, Derby, director of .recruit
ing, occupied the most prominent po
sition. The prime minister, as usual, got
to the heart of his subject in his open
ing sentences and declared that al
though, the British fighting forces in
the various theaters now amount to
more than 1,250,000 men the war's
demands were such as necessitated
calling out the empire's "recrui table
maximum."
Although the premier did not put
himself on record as either for or
against conscription, John Redmond,
leader of the Irish Niionalists, at the
close of Mr. Asquith's speech, flung a
bombshell by declaring that the Na
tionalists ; would oppose ' conscription
by every means in their power. And
John Dillon followed with a severe ar
raignment . of the British war leader
ship, inquririg:
"What is the use of sending out
.more troops to be led like men re
sponsible for the Suvla Bay and Anzac
failures?"
VAST SUPPLIES FOR GERMANY.
Turkey Holds Abundance of Food

Berlin: "Turkey has an abundance

kinds which she can. supply to Ger
many if Germany needs them," said
Dr. Nazim Bey, secretary of the
Young Turk's Committee, in a state
ment to the Associated Press on his
arrival in Berlin. "It is only a ques
tion of transportation, which seems to
be in a fair way of solution.
"There is no lack of anything in
Turkey. For example, we have 30,
000,000 kilograms" of cotton which
Germany can have the moment she
solves the transportation problem,
not to speak of 10,000,000 kilograms
of reserve supply in the shape of ma
tresses and other articles in Turkish
homes.
"The same is true of copper. Of
this we have at least 40,000,000 kilo
grams which Germany can have at
any time." ' '

BIGGEST HARVEST
EVER RECORDED
LARGE CROPS AND GOOD PRICE
RULE THROUGHOUT THE
COUNTRY.
AN UNUSUAL COMBINATION
For First Time in History Extraordi
nary Production and High Prices
Have Prevailed.
Washington. The nation's harvests
this year have surpassed any ever be
fore recorded. The value of the prin
cipal farm crops, based on prices paid
to farmers December 1, was announc
ed by the department of agriculture in
its final estimate as $5,568,773,000 mak
ing 19i5 a banner year both in value
and in production of crops.
The unusual situation of extraor
dinary production and high prices,
probably never ; before so pronounced
is credited principally to the Euro
pean, war.
With the price of grain soaring as
the war progressed, American farmers
began the season by planting greater
areas to grain.. The acreage of the
principal crop this year aggregated
approximately 486,570 square miles.
That is larger than the combined
area of Germany, France, Belgium,
Holland, Denmark and Switzerland.
Corn was planted on 108,321,000
acres, the second largest area ever
planted, and the harvest was 3,054,
535,000 bushels, the second largest
crop ever grown. Its value was $1,
755,859,000, exceeding that of the
previous most valuable corn crop by
$33,000,000.
New records were made in produc
tion by wheat, oats, barley, rye sweet
potatoes, rice and Kay, while, tobacco
closely approached its production rec
ord, 1,103,415,000 pounds, made in
1910. Each of these crops, in addi
tion, established records as being the
most valuable crop over grown, ex
cept In the case of barley and tobac
co. Production of the first billion bush
el wheat crop and second three-billion
bushel corn crop were features
of the year. Wheat acreage aggre
gated 59,898,000 acres, or 6,000,000
more than ever before. The yield was
16.9 bushels an acre, the largest acre
yield for winter and spring wheat
combined ever attained in this coun
try. The final estimates of production
was l,t)ll,505,000 bushels with a val
ue of $930,302,000. The crop ex
ceeded last year's which was a rec
ord, by more than 120,000,000 bush
els and by $50,000,000 in Value.
Oats, rye, potatoes, sweet potatoes
and tobacco all were plented on rec
ord areas. Oats exceeded its record
production of 1912 by 122,000,000
bushels and its record value of 1914
by $56,000,000. Barley production
was 13,000,000 bushels more than the
1912 record crop and was worth $4,-
000. 000 more than the former most
valuable crop that grows in 1914.
Rice passed the 1913 record by 3,
200,000 bushels and its 1912 record
valued by $1,700,000.
The apple crop was 76,670,000 valu
ed at $156,407,000; the bean crop, In
the three principal producing states,
9,325,000 bushels a decrease of 1,
688,000 bushels valued at $27,558,000
and the cranberry crop, 457,000 bush
els, valued at $2,845,000. The value
of these three crops are included in
the year's total.
The value of each crop was an
nounced as follows:
The value this year of each croy,
based on its farm price on December
1, with last year's value, is announc

ANNUAL DEBATE AT U. OF N. C.
Winners Uphold Proposition; Adoption
of Compulsory Military Training
In Nation.
Chapel ; Hill. The ..- annual , Soph-Junior-
debate between the Dialectic
and Philanthropic Societies was won
by the Phi. The question- of the de
bate, the affirmative side of which the
Phi upheld, was "Resolved, That the
United States should adopt some pol
icy of compulsory military training
for young men possessing the right
to vote."
The affirmative was upheld by Al
bert M. Coates of Smithfield and J. K.
Holloway of Raleigh. C. R. Edney of
Mars Hill and C. B. Hyatt of Boones
ville argued in vain for the negative.
The judges were R. H. Thornton, W.
W. Pierson and Dr. W. M. MacNider.
The decision rested two to one in fa
vor of the affirmative. The presiding
officers - were Hugh B. Hester, presi
dent of the Phi, and R. L. Young, sec
retary of the Di.
Both sides maintained good argu
ments, and the debate was one of
great interest from start to finish.
This victory of the Phi is the first
one over the Di in three years.
In the main speeches Mr. Coates
maintained that the growing interests
of the United States demanded a grow
ing policy of preparedness. He prov
ed that the voluntary systems tried
or proposed were inadequate or ineffi
cient, and that adequacy could be ob
tained only by some system of com
pulsory military training.
Mr. Edney admitted that prepared
ness was necessary, but that a com
pulsory system was not the way to get
it since the scheme was impracticable,
tremendously expensive, and that the
principle upon which it was based
is contrary to our democratic govern
ment since it curbs the liberties of the
people and demands uncalled-for ser
vi6e. Grand Lodge Orator.

ANNUAL
ORATORIO
AT STATE f
"THE MESSIAH" PRESENTED BY
CHORUS OF 160 AND FOUR
SOLOISTS.
MANY COULD NOT ENTER HALL
Auditorium Would Not Begin to Hold
All Who Desire to Hear the
Splendid Performance.
Greensboro. One of the three oc
casions especially devoted to music
in this city each year has just passed.
The State Normal College's annual
presentation 'of Handel's "Messiah"
occurred. Two performances were
necessary on account of the limited
auditorium of the college. At 7! 30 in
the evening the 700 women of the col
lege student body of the high school
at the college and that of the Greens
boro College for Women composed the
audience, while the next afternoon at
2:30 when the second presentation
occurred, the public genfrally was in
vited. It attended. The streets at the city
leading toward the college in the
west presented an appearance which
suggested a gene.l hegira. The
doors of the auditorium opened at 2
o'clock and a crowd had already col
lected. The fear of exclusion by lack
of space was felt and many were
turned away. The oratorio was
sung by the chilis of 160 with 110
women of the student body and 50
men of the city composing it. The
soloists wer Miss Kathyrn M. Sev
erson of the faculty, a remarkable
soprano; Mrs. Wade R. BroWn, a con
tralto of exceptional power; !lr. Over
ton Moyle of New York, bassj, and Mr.
Judson House of New York, tenor.
Music lovers were particularly in
terested in the tenor, inasmuch as he
was the single unknown soloist to the
city. The. singing of Mr. rioyle was
known, inasmuch as this was his
second appearance here in the orato
rio and had sung Mephisto in the re
recent presentation of "Faust" at the
college. He had lo3t none of his
power and Mr. House found a wel
come. -These two singers are the only
paid persons in the performance.
The appreciation was well divided
between ; the singing of the women
soloists and the men; while the chorus
proved itself a surprise, inasmuch as
practice had improved., its capacity
noticeably, "Tlve Messiah" is the an
nual Christmas music of the college
and in the several, presentations, so
familiar has the chorus become with
the lines that it is almost in position
to discard all cues.
One of the hopes of the future of
the State Normal is for a magnificent
music building with an auditorium in
keeping with the significance of its
productions such as that of today. The
building has already been projected
into the minds of Greensboro people
and of other friends of the college
through , the state and there is hope
of a movement soon to put the struc
ture on the campus. Should this even
tuate, an even more imposing program
than now in vogue would be instituted
in the effort at the popularization of
good music in North Carolina. The
performance preceeded the beginning
of the holiday vacation at the col
lege.
One Killed, Two Hurt.
Asheville. As the result of an alter
cation which took place at the North
Fork Baptist church about 20 miles
from Asheville, Martin Burnett is
dead, shot through the heart, William
Burnett is in custody, with a slight

Washington. -The Waxhaw postof
fice, in Union county, has been "ad

Carolina Wins Debate.
Chapel Hill. Carolina won the first
debate, defeating George Washington
College here. The query for debate
was "Resolved, That the Federal Gov
ernment should own and operate all
telegraph lines, constitutionally con
ceded." Carolina upheld the negative

I know a clergyman," stated Grout
P. Smith, "of such a saturnine cast of
countenance that when I see him
place his hands in front of his bosom,
palms toward each t other and finger
tips touching, to pray, I always expect
that the. next minute he "will shift
them to tandem, with the thumb of
the lead hand touching the little finger
of the wheel hand and the thumb of
the latter tbuching his nose. He haa
not done so yet, however, and if he
does not make good pretty soon I am
going to quit attending church."

Cancer Other Growths
Treated by X-Ray
The Presbyterian Hospital, Charlotte, N. GL,
has recently Installed one of the most modern
X-Ray machines that is known to medical
science. The X-Ray for diagnostic 'purposes is
well known ; but by the recent Inyentlon of
the Coolidge Tube a much broaler field of
usefulness has been opened In th treatment
of cancer and other growths. Especially is this
so of those pitiful cases that have put off oper
ations until it is too late, and although they
may not be entirely cured by the X-Ray, they
are greatly benefited, life is prolonged, and
suffering greatly lessened. But many cases are
now being cored by aid of the powerful ray of
the Coolidge Tube that formerly .were hopeless.
