George Biddle, last Wednesday at Myrtle Grove Beach, near Wilmington, reminds us that dur ing our thirty years of "newspaper ing" in Wilmington, we have handled seal stories several times. . Some .'two or, three years ago The Star published a statement from Captayi E. D. Wil liams, veteran seafarer and present harbor master of the port of Wilming ton, to the effect that seals had not only been seen and caught along this coast, but had' leen seen right in the harbor at Wilmington. Captain AVilliams read the seal story in the local columns of The Star yes terday, and this adjunct of this news paper establishment accompanied him to the store of the Gilbert-SIemory Company, on Slarket street, where the seal shot on Myrtle Grove Beach was on exhibition. The seal was about four feet in length, and wag- what Captain Williams called a "calf" or baby seal, possibly only one of a herd on this coast. During his towing experience on the Cape Fear, Captain Williams repeated yesterday, he has several times seen a large seal sunning on the limb of a sunken tree near the Dram Tree, just below the southern limits of the city. Several years ago he saw xthat seal or another at odd times in the same vi cinity, and at times he has seen as many as three seals lying on the rocks of the breakwater at Fed eral Point, cr Fort Fisher, about twenty miles down the Cape Fear from the city. It is related by Captain Williams that Captain Crump Moore, how of Hampstead, Pender county, but mas ter of the little schooner Stonewall a few years ago, gigged a seal under the most peculiar circumstances while his vessel was trading between Wil mington and New River. One beauti ful moonlight night while the schoon er was lying at anchor in. the bight at Topsail Sound, near Scott's Hill, with a small lifeboat tied up to the stern of the vessel, th& crew of the Stone wall was awaked by a startling com motion in the - lifeboat from which came a noise as if someone had taken possession. The little boat was rock ing wildly and the oars lying loose in the bottom were rattling against its bott,om. Investigation revealed the fact that a large seal had taken possession and was floundering about in the bottom of the boat. The boat wg.3 drawn alongside the schooner and the intruder , was promptly despatched with the ship's gig. Its valuable fur was sold to Messrs. Sam Bear & Sons, in Wilmington. With reference to the volunteer speculations about the presence of seals in our waters, Captain Williams says it is quite possible that seals mi grate this far down the coast either to winter or perhaps to feed, . b.ut he thinks it more likely that they came on an iceberg excursion from Labra dor or the frozen regions of the Arctic circle. It is his theory that they were denizens of icebergs which drifted away with them and came down the coast along the east'd edge of the Gulf Stream. Huge icebergs sometimes melt down to mere ice flows between Cape Hatteras and Bermuda, which is just east of Hatteras. and there the seals, finding themselves out of ice, make for the nearest land in North Carolina, which seals as well as all seamen know juts further out Into the Atlantic than any portion of the con tinent south of the New England coast. That is why seals come by instinct to North Carolina's far east'd shores, .and it .ought to be a potent and con vincing reason "why1 commerce should naturally come to the port of Wil-mlngton-Southport. This port is far out in the Atlantic and Is the closest South Atlantic port to the oceap lane between North and South America and the Panama Canal, hence the Port of Wilmington, as all maps and naviga tion charts show, is the very nearest Atlantic port to the mouth of the Isthmian waterway to the Pacific com merce of the world. It also Is, by chart, the closest Atlantic., port to both the east and west coasts of South America. Commerce certainly ought to go to school to, the seals and find out something. Wllmingtonians seeking to give publicity to Wilmington's premiership for commercial possibilities certanly ought to sit up and take notice from the. seals. They know something, that would be of tremendous importance to Wilmington if the world were made to know it. fiO PAY 'RISE IX TEN YEARS. very reasonable argument for in creased pay. Arguments for an ad vance in wages have been eummed up by officials of. the New York Letter Carriers Association and by similar bodies all over the country, as - fol lows : "The Postoffice Department rs the only Government department which Is on a self-supporting basis. "For the year ended June 30, 1916, its surplus was $5,S23,236. Fori the year ended June 30, 1917, its surplus was $9,000,000. "There has not been an increase in the salaries of letter carries since 1907, a period of ten years; while ev ery line of industry- has increased the wages of its employes to meet the gradual rise in prices since 1907, and many have since the war granted ad ditional bonuses or fixed amounts to the regular wages to meet the pres ent high cost of living. "According to statistics of the . De partment of Labor, the union wage rates in all industries show an aver age increase of 20 per cent since 1907, and retail prices of food have advanc ed 50, per... cent. ' "Letter carriers' uniforms of which they must purchase two each year now cost 50 per cent more than in 1907; and good shoes- with which they must be supplied are almost out of reach. Their work is now heavier and more exacting . than formerly, Includ ing the Immensely successful parcel post with its many insured and valu able packages, which has added much to their burden. "The present entrance salary is $800; it should be $1,000. The present max imum salary is $1,200; -it should be $1,500. The entrance salary is $800 is attained only after a period of sub stitution averaging between four and five years, during which, time no" fixed salary is allowed. j( I "The maximum salary of letter .car riers is $1,200, and it takes at least nine years to reach this grade. Dur ing this period he will not average more than $750 per year. "Laborers in the Postoffice Depart ment receive a salary of $900, ana there is but little if any substitution. "Letter carriers are not paid, when ill. even though the Illness is caused by exposure when on duty, or from any other effects of the weather, or from poorly ventilated or improperly lighted workrooms; and when unable to work they must be supported by their associates. In 1916 the New York Letter Carriers' Association paid to its members nearly $30,000 for sick benefits. "Notwithstanding the failure of the Government to give them more favor able attention, the letter carriers. are among the most loyal of our citizens; 3.000 of them in this city purchased $179,000 of the first Liberty Loan on the one-dollar a week plan, end near ly as much of the second loan." That summary is sufficient to show the reasonableness of the claims of the letter carriers, and those of us who know how it is ourselves can but help sympathizing with them in 'their efforts to get Congress to adopt the bill for their relief. Any change in the conditio'ns affecting letter car riers and their pay. as a matter of course, must come through Congress, and citizens generally who are inter ested In their cause can greatly as sist the letter carriers , in getting fa vorable action by writing to their Con gressman. In a memorial to Congress ; urging passage of the Madden bill, the letter carriers' organization present Btrong and comprehensive facts concerning the deserts and worthiness of the car riers, and they earnestly urge pas sage of the bill es a simple matter of justness. The bill pending in Con gress provides that clerks in first and second class postoffices and letter car riers in the city delivery service shall be divided into six grades, as follows: First grade, salary $1,000; second, $1, 100; third, $1,200; fourth. $1,300; fifth. $1,400; sixth, $1,500. Clerks and car riers are to be promoted successively to the sixth grade. EXTERMINATING DAIRY CATTLE. A man says the last Christmas pres ent he ever got was when he wis five years of age. He. acknowledges that he is fifty-five years old, so most any Wil mington kid can figure out that it's been fifty years sinia Santa Claus droy up to his house and stopped. Lots of people are without coal, wood and sugar because they paid no more attention to Hoover than the ancients paid to Father Noah when he warned thero that.it would rain for forty days and leave them no ground upon which to rest the soles of their feet. .

' ' " Uncle Sam's letter carriers, who de liver our mails at our doors, rain, hail, sleet or snow, have not had a rise In their pay for ten years not since everything was about a hundred per cent cheaper than during these ter rifically burdensome war times. For that reason and because of the tre mendous cost of living, the Letter Carriers Association has petitioned Congress for increased pay in propor tion to the increased cost of living. Through the efforts of the Letter Carriers' ' Association, Representative Madden last April introduced a bill providing more pay for one of the most indispensable and ' deserving classes of Federal employes, and that bill is expected, soon to come before the Committee on Postoffice and Post Roads, possibly to be reported at the present or-next session of Congress. The letter carriers probably wear out more .

Wilmingtonis proud to have a cit$! zen who is so generously public splr.-. ited that he gave to the American Re public one of the most picturesque mountains in America. Certainly, ev ery word that the Charlotte Observer utters with reference to it .meets a hearty echo here In Wilmington. Says our valued Queen City contemporary: 'That was a royal gift Mr. Hugh MacRae gave to the Government . In. the peak of Grandfather Mountain 'and it is encouraging to know that the Government is so instantly apprecia tive of its value that no time will be lost in the institution of Grandfather National Fark, the first to be estab lished in the Blue Ridge territory. Senator Overman is doing the state, and incidentally the Nation, a service In facilitating the establishment of this park." ' Grandfather mountain is no small mountain but it is one of the jaoblest in ..the Appalachian range. It is in the "Land of the Sky" and it is a'mag nlflcent scenic object in the midst of a -group of the highest mountains east of the Mississippi. In Western North Carolina there are twenty-eight peaks morer than 6,000 feet high. Grandfa ther may not be so lofty, but he rears his peak in a majestic manner towards the sky in the midst of surroundings of the most romantic description. Anyhow, the Charlotte News saw the poetic side of the snow and sleet, while others considered the slick side of it. The, News saw a vista of beauty In the robe of white in which the forests and landscape were bedecked the past week. It sleeted a wee bit in Wilmington and the rain froze' on the doorsteps and pavements, but, as usual, the snow staid away from the Sunny Cape-Fear region. The snow and sleet was heavy in the upcountry, with even Goldeboro The-Food Adminlstraton at Wash ington is very much exercised, about ! the possibility of exterminating dairy cattle and calves, owing to the high ; cost of feed, and the commission, hav- ing knowledge of the fact that many small dairy farmers have already sold their cattle to butchers, has called at tention to the serious condition pre vailing in European countries because of the necessity of getting rid of ani mals for which it is almost an impos sibility to purchase, feedstuffs on ac count of the war. The experiences of European ' countries is a warning to Americans, and go the Food Adminis tration has issued the following im-" pressive facts: ! "The. sale and use of cream has been prohibited in Great Britain by government order, except for infants, invalids and for butter making, ac cording to information received by the United States food administration. ' Forage conditions in Europe general ly are now such that the number of , cattle cannot be taken as indicative of the production of milk. ! "In France the number of cattle i has decreased about one-seventh,, while the production of milk has de- creased from two and one-half to one gallon as compared with pre-war times. : j "In "Vienna the daily supply receiv-.1 ed prior to the war was 900,000 litres.,: This has been decreased to 200,000 li- ' tres. In Berlin, notwithstanding the national necessity for safeguarding ; the health of children, the milk sup ply for children has been reduced one third."' - This warning comes none too soon, indeed if it is not too late to prevent the slaughter of thousands of dairy cattle all over America. When dairy men right here in Wilmington, who depended altogether on commercial feedstuffs for their cattle, found it im- I possible to pay high feed prices with-. out losing money on their small dairy ing enterprises, they were compelled to sell their cows to the butchers or dispose of them to big dairy farmers who had raised their own cheaper feed stuffs and provided pasturage for cat tle. The Durham Herald, in pointing but such a misfortune as lamentable says: "Owners of dairy cattle should think long and hard before they butcher these animals, or before they allow the calves to be butchered, for upon this watchfulness depends the future milk supply of the nation. The high prices paid for beef will be a great" temptation to the owners of dairy cat tle in these times of the high cost of feed, but both from a patriotic and a selfish standpoint the owners "of these animals should refuse to sell, the dairy cow to the butcher. Instead, ev ery effort should be made to Increase the herd and to better it, for there has never been such a demand for good dairy cattle as there' will be when the war is over, and the people of the old country begin making pre parations to restock their land." Every word that the Food Adminis tration says by way of warning is impressive, and every word that the Herald says about it is true, but nei ther the warning of the Food Adminis tration, nor newspaper appeals, will prevent the slaughter of dairy cattle. That is unfortunate but true never theless. When a farmer gets so h can not buy feedstuffs and won't raise them himself, he is compelled to sell his cattle to butchers or let them starve, which is worse. The fact is, when dairy farmers de pend on high priced Western feeds for their cattle, and also depend on the West for what they eat them selves, it is not a. matter of taking warning but a matter of necessity for them to sell the livestock that they are not able to feed. They can hard ly feed their families, so it stands to reason that improvident dairy farm ers have to let their cows go to the highest bidder, as a matter of course, :Whether they will-or no. This same Inexcorable necessity has prevailed in all tne war countries and such dairying countries as Holland, Denmark, Sweden. Switzerland, and others, for farmers in all countries were compelled to send their cattle to slaughter or let them starve, which Is beyond the question. We can con eeijV .of only .two ways to keep dairjr caiuV .the market for slaughter One .Is for. the government to buy the cattle, -or- for stock companies to be organized "to buy up ail such cattle. By all, means,:, the organization of stock coihpaTiies-is the best and surest plan to save 'cows and' calves. Well financed .farms ycmpanles can buy and keep, such stock at a profit, but the small farmer who tioes not raise cattle feed, or provide pastures, nor raises his own food, has no alterna tive but to sell warning or no warn ing. ! n CAN'T BE REPEATED!

One of the young men of Char lotte, of a good family and popular with all classes, a member of this club, attended this dance. But he is a private in training at Camp Greene. A young captain also attended the dance and was with a young girl who is a friend of the private. When the music ceased, the private stepped up to his lady friend who introduced him to the captain. The officer refused to acknowledge the introduction and openly insulted both the young 'lady and the private soldier. Here is an other incident given by this writer: A gentleman of Charlotte coming into town from Camp Greene in his auto mobile picked up an officer who was walking toward "town. Presently he overtook two private soldiers who were walking the same way. He in vited them to ride and when they got In the officer got out, as he could not afford to ride into Charlotte in com pany with two privates! And this, my lords and gentlemen, is in the United States of America! In France, we are told, no such distinctions arts ;made between the officers and private sol diers. But in the United States we are told the soldiers must be subject ed to insult in order to maintain army discipline. . This is the spirit of West Point .supposed to be our training school for "the army. This infamous (we are tempted to say infernal, for it is a better word in this connection) spirit comes straight from Germany and Is the very spirit we are trying to crush. Here is the situation! We are urging our young men to enlist in the service of their country. So Jong as they wear citizens clothes they can associate with army officials on equal terms, but the minute they don khaki as private soldiers they are reduced to the rank of social inferiors and menials. We care not a fig for the regulations of the army if they violate the very spirit of American de mocracy and trample In the dust the very thing for which our fathers bled and died, and for which our fine boys are now asked to make the supreme sacrifice. The Congress ought to make haste 'to amend: the law If this rotten segment of German snobbery is now embodied in our law. The authority of an officer should not invade the so cial realm at all. Because a man is a captain, he should not be allowed to make himself a fool. -Charity and Children. ORGANIZED LABOR'S PART I" THE RED CROSS. CA3IPAIGN Sir. Jos. II. Curtia, Team Captain. Points Important Facts. To the Editor of The Star: Heeyling the call of our great Presi dent and Labor's true friend. Wood row Wilson, the National Red Cross society will launch their campaign for new members this week. Organ ized labor has been given a task to perform in this noble service. A team has been chosen from among the dif ferent unions, composed of men who have stood by ' labor's cause in our community at grest sacrifice, and who enter this campaign with that same spirit of determination, that is char acteristic of our membershp, to strive for that wheh is just and right and which must be won. The- Labor, organizations' Red Cross team was formed without dictation or suggestion from anyone .outside our ranks, therefore, appeals to our felr low; craftsmen to rally to our support and do their "bit" to aid these noble women fighting and who will fight to win this great war. Events are transpiring every day whicn." fully convince us .that after this great conflict is over, organized labor will reach that goal for which we have striven so earnestly and sac. rificed so much, viz.: Tlua we are part of our great nation, and must "u reckoned with accordingly. To m. hold our ideals and standards of ubl fulness we shouid be eaccr to pra? and overcome problems in such crls j as now confront our country, and ia this campaign this week w; are pected to do our duty. There is i0 group - of class of citizenship that im furnished more men for the Unittj States service than have volunteered from the rank's of organized labor. V.'( will see to it that their obligation to their union will be safely take, care of during their absence, "and va are sure ,that for their sake we w.;. loyally stand by the Red Cross it this campaign, and by so doing n;j them in their efforts to comfort arc take care of our comrades who iiavj gone to the front. This membership campalsn is r "booster" undertaking and cannot k won by words and "noise" but can oni; be carried to success by joining ti: Red Cross society and obtaining th crosses. So to our fellov-woik.-; who have subscribed so liberally v Liberty bonds and contributed to other war relief funds we entreat yet to rally to your duty and when tki.; campaign is on this week that organ ized labor can say, as did Pershir.: when he uttered that irnmonj phrase . to bleeding France the other day, "We Are Here." .

Recently we have ' had a wooden steamer 120 days after the work began, and a steel steamer in 78 days. These are extraordinarily good records, but they have been smashed. A steel ship was launched at Seattle 72 days after the laying of the keel, and the yard that launched it will after January 1 turn out a ship every 30 days. But this record did not stand long, for another yard at Seattle completed a vessel within 64 days ' om the laying 9t the keel.
