Listen for the whistles of the mer chant ships from over the seas. Nationally, we will soon be off the Dand wagon onto the water wagon- The international League to Enforce Peace may be able to do It but who's gonna enforce peace on them? Herr Worm is a member of the new German cabinet. He may do, but he will have to look out for the early bird In politics. About face! Within six weeks we will be on the way back to normal. War prices and profiteering are al ready on the decline. Moreover, I shall make thee waste, end a reproach among the nations that are round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by. Ezekiel v, 14. Of course, madame, if you keep right -r, conserving: you will keep right on saving. We have had a great lesson j in thrift and it has made many wise ly thrifty. In the eyes of the enemy press of America, the Winston-Salem mob has placed North Carolina in the bolshe vist class. What can be our defense? We have to take what is coming to us on account of what we do. Dr. Anna Howard Shaw demands that women participate in the peace conference. How does she know any of them could get their peace confer ence clothes ready in time to take in the affair? Germany want it held right now. Hereafter we will have to listen to the allied food council, with Herbert Hoover sitting at the head of the world table at London. By common consent we will heed the call of the world's humanity for us to share our food with them. Some very distinguished men to warn us that the armistice terms to which the German government had agreed did not mean peace but only a step towards it, and that either side could resume hostilities after 30 days notice. They overlooked the laxtt, however, that the very terms of the armistice itself were equivalent to an unconditional surrender. The terms meant the scrapping of the great Ger- 3.50 ma- ravv and army, which was once than i the worm s 6i"icsv - The Germ ns are steaauy carrjri-s out those terms as to both the army and the navy, hence she is scrapping he fighting machine. The sun-ender of 20 enemy submarines on Wednesday to the British navy was in accordance with the terms of the armistice and it is further evidence of the fact that Prussian militarism not only acknow ledges defeat but is carrying out its agreement to- do away with all its once powerful instruments of warfare. Germany could not renew thewar if she wanted to do so. In fact, she is a party to doing away with an army that Btood off the greater part ol tne world till America threw in her might with the allies against it. Its end was doomed when President Wilson lost T,r,-m r:rmanv and cast in pttlicuuc ,T - - ' America's lot with the entente allies Now, however, there are even Ameri cans who are trying to avoid giving credit where credit is due for entering into the war the balance of military power which overwhelmed the Prus sianism that was fighting victorious- A ly less than five months ago. --s i that the Asheville Citizen says: "A former North Carolina visitor, a resident of New York, in a recent let- J - ' .-. 1- --. vr mn T f ter to Tne Citizen iaiica al.cpv Letters To The Star 1918. J Probably as many as a half- million ; troops ought ,to be, disembarked through southern. ports-for riemobili- . zation into southern and middle west ern territory. Geographically that would be logical, provided our south ern ports have the facilities for Han dling large bodies of disembarking men. No doubt practically every southern port will handle some of our returning soldiers on their way home from France. Charleston is-' trying to eet her share and so is Wilmington. The Raleigh News and Observer heart ily and strongly favors Wilmington, and yesterday that esteemed contem porary backs np the North Carolina port with this editorial: 'T.maa ft rnroftfl has been in Wash ington for the purpose of inducing the war department to make Wilmington a port for the distribution of return- lng trOopS.

The prestige given the stte by handling thousands of troops there would nx Wilmington m w - other than our own people as a port fit for traffic on a large scale. In several respects Wilmington can handle troops better than any other port on the coast. Its harbor room is unlimited. The climate is mild, and all through the winter troops can be un inarlAd without the- slightest discom fort. From Wilmington to several of the camps is a short distance, and all of the way is the same mild, climate. Thn another decided advantage is the railroad facilities. The. .Seaboard and the Coast Line, two wholly capable railroads, can load troop trains at the Wilmineton docks, ami in large num bers. Tne Seaboard can deliver sol diers .to Charlotte on a line that Is not congested with through traffic between larere cities. It can handle business for Soartanburg.

A few days ago we called attention to the prosperity of this immediate sec tion as reflected in the local- bank statements. This prosperous condition Us not confined to New Bern or to gra ven county aa is seen in tne statement, of the banks all over this section of the State. Soon after the world war be gan there were pessimists who predict ed that this country would go to the bow-wows, speaking of course from a financial standpoint. However, their prediction did not materialize. North Carolina and the other States in the union are today in just as prosperous a condition. If not more so, than ever before and this era of prosperity will, we believe, continue for years. New Bern Sun -Journal. The situation as a whole Is one pro vocative Of some amusement but calling for no excitement. It is perfectly na tural that Mr. Wilson should desire to cro abroad at this time. If. as some f the internreters suggest, he has in cidental concern in the fate of the League of Nations, his efforts to put life into such an organization will have the approval of the American peopie ung With Its Friends fUR quantity only is cut down, because S the Government needed half of our sugar.

Which obvionsly has not yet been ac complished. That is the kind ot a League of Nations, and the only kjnd, that the American .people desire their government to join in the making.. If it is the President's desire to aid m formulating a definition of "freedom of the seas" his efforts will have the ap proval of the American people pro vided he has not in mind a definition that would take from the navies which have made possible this victory for liberty their powers to protect liberty when again its existence is menaced, and which, particularly, does not take from the navy of the United States its power to defend this land.

"Wilming ton is behind In that particular, we must catch up, even if the war is over. -The government needs the money and expects it of us. Wall street is already restless un- der tbe restraints on gambling in food stuffs, stocks and bonds. The street declares that the country is full of "buyers who want to invest their mon ey. Wall ' street reasonably expects America is full of suckers who want to get rich quick. President Wilson's aim was to bring the world war to a close in 1918, re gadless of cost. Some are trying to. raise a kick on the cost but the only peace worry we ought to have Is the loss of nearly 28,000 American boys who gave their lives for their country. The war cost billions in money but peace is worth the money. r M-t aV. t 'hit unrntla a uerman goveiuwsui --r the German people. That was the kaiser's deathblow, and when he went the military autocracy that had cursed Germany for 40 years went with him. The end of the great war followed in quick order. Who, then, did more to end the world sxaugnter tnan dent Wilson?" It does not make any difference what Wilson -. detractors say about it. The Citizen has briefly stated the way that history will state it in detail. The editor is a scholarly Englishman, who nevertheless is an American citizen and a loyal one at that. lie is decided ly a more loyal American than natives who for partisan political reasons un dertake to deny what history is bound to affirm. Otherwise It would not be history. Of course, the allies and America combined crushed ' Prussianism, but any onlooker knows what the decid ing factor in the titanic struggle was American armies, American money onA American munitions. It was Presi dent Wilson who mobilized all the for ces of America to win the war. The western progressive-republicans ere already boldly taking the ground that Senator Penrose is no fit person to succeed Senator Simmons as chair man of the great senate finance com mittee. Well, it will be quite a change, but Penrose has the nerve to go right on and Insist on his seniority privilege in spite of all that Colonel Roosevelt has said about the Pennsylvania sena tor's lack of Sunday school scruples. THE KIND OF HOGS WE SOV HAVE. Quoth the "Winston-Salem Journal: "According to an Associated Press dis patch from Triest, 'one big factor in the disintegration of Austria-Hungary's political fabric was the diplo matic writings of President Wilson,' who, it may be added, is the one man most hated by the kings now going into exile." Maybe so, but Teddy re mains to give unction to the souls of the kings. He is liable most any time to call the Associated ress a tirevaricator or a veritable slack wad Today begins the last week in this most historic November in the history of the world. , As long as the world stands, the 11th of November will be one of the most notable days in the annals of history. On the 11th of-November the armistice terms were Bigned at Senlis, France. Today the allied armies are occupying German territory under the terms of the arm istice. Between the nnai battle on the morning of the 11th to now ther lina scored well in her -farnr operations" in 1918. In addition to the large pro duction of crops their greatly increas ed value over previous crop years was immense. Many ihlllions of dollars have been added to the rural .wealth in this state during 1918 It is in food and feed crops and live stock, however. 1bt Editor Jeter re cords a gratifying--Increase. Thisr-is shown by reports and statistics gath ered by him frdm 29 of the leading producing counties in the state. . These counties are well scattered all over the state. Indicating a general farm production condition for the, state as a whole. On 1,80. farms from whjch reports were secured, the Increased acreage in food crops was 139,652 acres compare ed with 109,201 acres increase over the whoje food crop acreage prior to the- war. The increase for" this year averages 1S.8 acres per farm. The most notable increase for any one pro duct was in the case of soy beans, not only a valuable food and feed crop but peculiarly valuable as oil yielding ma4 terial for the state's oil mills engaged In the manufacture ' of vegetable - oils, including cottonseed oil. The acreage In soy beans was more than 100 per ' . . . ' cent. The acreage in Sorghum, for syrup making. Increased 90 per cent, -mere was a 50 per cent increase in the acre age devoted to velvet beans and alfal fa. After all, the most important gain in food products was in corn, the. in creased acreage being 44,924 as com pared with a" 1917 increase of 36,-07 acres.
