Men and more men are needed an ten western battle lines in Europe to re ,ist the hordes -f Huh soldiers . releas ed through the collapse of Russia and this has served to bring the war home to America in a more realistic way tnan it was possible to have conceiv ed a year ago. This has made 'it nec. essa'ry to call out an unusually large number of men in the next quota of the draft and many young men will be taken from the farms. , ; " Seventy-eight white men will be en trained by the Wilmington draft board May 28 and the county, of New' Wan: over has been assigned 25 men for this quota. March 6 Governor T. W Rfrlo ett. after conference with officials of the war department, issued a state nienc io ne jocai araft boards in whicn tne ionowing opinion was ex pressed: ".''."'.'

Thepjbability of a double track be ing necessary was taken into consider- ation. when the ilne was built, and the grading and . filling has been, made wide enough to accommodate a double track.' If another is deemed necessary it can be laid in considerably less time. - The necessary waiting until the track is completed has not .handicapped the work of making ready the site of the shipyard. None but the simplest ma chinery has been required in the work so far. A hundred or.; so picks and shovels, and axes anduch things, with, surveyors Instruments ,have sufficed' to keep the work going. ; The work nai sufficiently advanced now, however so that other types of machinery . are needed. There Is a little upright "don key" engine down there now that was transported on a barge. It is used to pull out stumps. ' During the past week hundreds of stumps that cluttered the site have Jfcliss Elizabeth Haile. . xne executive committee with - as ssistants has been mub-divided into three teams under the suDervision- of campaign leaders as follows: . irst Team J.

"The collapse of the Russian armies, and the transfer of the German forces from the eastern to the western front, while feared as a probability, released more available German troops than was anticipated. Secretary of War Baker from the front has seen the vi tal need of men and more men. In fact, the men must be furnished now if the war is to be won. Transportation facilities have been increased; the training camps have been emptied and nust be filled., . "To make the matter clear to focal boards the following telegram was ent to the provost marshal' general: Many focal-" boards state that, they will be unable to fill call 374 without makings heavy inroads- on - the regis trants whose - calls have been deferr ed under teleswam B-80. This office has advised that the calls must be fill ed so long. as they have men in class 1, such registrants being deferred on ly until the end of the quota under said telegram, and that such -deferred calls cannot be given the effect of de ferred classification. Advise 4f inter pretation is correct. ' i "The following reply was received: 'Telegram B-80 should be complied with so far as possible. The number of men required to fill call 374 must, however, be obtained from class 1 even though it is necessary to send .farm ers. Local boards should "be Instruct ed to use their best judgment in selecting- such farmers as can best be spared. With their intimate knowl edge of the .'registrants they should be able to pick men who can,be in ducted without serious affecting farm ing conditions. "It Is regretted that some individual hardship may be brought about, but the .common . sense and patriotism of our North Cirolina people will cause them to meet the emergency without complaint." ' : -; There recently appeared an. editorial in the Raleigh Times that stated the case so clearly that Major Langston has sent copies of it to all local boards. The editorial, in part was as follows: "It seems certain that the class 1 registrants of North Carolina will all be sent to camp . from many, counties before the present call ' for men un der the. selective draft' is fully com since the ground is soft and sandy, and the ; best results from dynamite are secured in a more substantial soil. Many of the stumps have required sev eral charges before they were removed Some of them were dug up. The work is progressing satisfactorily, however, and by the time the heavy grading machinery is received, the site will be clear. The only grading that Is being done at present is that of preparing the right of way for the net work of rail way tracks that will form the freight yards of the company: Tracks will be laid to every part of the grounds, so that the distribution, of building mater ial and supplies may be facilitated. ' The engineer's plans of the grounds has been revised and completed. With the assistance of the affable Mr. Glass engineer in charge, one may . walk about' ths site, and if his imagination serves, picture the aspect of the plant when it will be completed a few months hence. He may go. even furth er and picture huge steel ships slip ping from the ways. The exact size ana location oi every ouiiaing oas been determined. ....

The Boy Scouts during the third lib erty loan sold 1,489 bonds amounting to $117,500, which although, less in amount than, that sold in the second liberty loan shows, it is stated, that more work was done by the scouts tn this loan because all the' large sub-) scriptions had been secured by thef other workers" who -had entered the campaign before them as the scouts could not sell bonds except the last weekof the campaign. The scouts sold- more Individual' bonds in the third Liberty loan, than they did in the second Liberty ..loan which is an evidence of more work being done. Of about 225 scouts. . 125 sold bonds and out of this number 75 - . will receive medals -from the govern-: ment for their services. To receive a medal a scout must sell ten , bonds ' with not .more than one bond being; sold to one person.
