Ashevile Citizen, For every beast or bird that preys is some other creature of which it is afraid; every weapon evolved by war is eventually matched by some other weapon. The submarine, the demon of the seas, that came from the un seen and slipped back into the unseen, after speeding its swift torpedo, had for a time no ene my to dread. Its prey was great battleships and merchantmen too clumsy to pursue it, itself show ing as a mark for big guns only a slender periscope flashing thro' the water. It spread its terror far at sea and in its reckless destruc tion caused war clouds to gath er in the further west. But its enemy came at last. The allies' ships plough the nar row seas in comparative safety; a million British soldiers have been transported to France without 1 )ss of life. A simple device it is that brings safety There are nets in the North Sea and English channel, not nets for fish, but nets for the greater fish the Ger mans send on their deadly ep rands. They are nets of steel with wide raeshea, supported by large wooden floats, and dragged by patrol boats while nearby are others of these small boats with quick-firers. One might think that this method would be impracticable, that the sub mersibles would de tect the floats and shifts position to avoid them, but experience has shown otherwise. The subma rine cannot detect the floats th'rough its periscope at any great distance, and if it attempts to operate on the surface it meets the fire of the small boats, them selves too small marks, too pet ty prey for the costly torpedoes. If the submarine dives and moves to rise elsewhere it can scarely a void the fire from the launches scattered over the sea And if it journeys under water it will even tually ensount t a net. And then its journey is over, for with the Iieavy drag of anetitcannot pur sue a definite course, aside from the danger of being capsized, and when it rises to the surface to cur away the meshes it becomes a clear mark awl one shot landed is all that is needed to finish the under-water boat. Necessity furthers inventionsand bright minds have countered each other in the present war. Tne German submarine threat ened f rightfulness to the allies; now it must itself dread the un- - s ?en that floats in the waves, a deadly, passive thing that drifts and waits with meshes spread. " Seeding under water the sub marine feels the strike and drag of the net a3 does the fish that is struck, and its crew know the tarrorofthe unseen which they themselves inspire. Sometimes the boat is overturned by the strike, or if not, it must rise and face visible but hardly less cer tain destruction. Mrs. Marr, wife of Rev. T. F. Marr, pastor of Trinity Metho dist church at Cnarlotte, died on the 2nd of heart disease.

The next great war move is ex pected to take place there. These are the states that a few years ago combined, threw off the Tur kish yoke and rushed Turkey out of Europe with the sole except ion of her possessions around Con stantinople. They then fell out among themselves and foughtJ Ditterly over a division or the territory. These States are Rou mania, which lies next to Russia on t he Black Sea, and Bulgaria, just south of Roumania, Serbia, to the east of Bulgaria, Greece to the south of Serbia, and Mon tenegro. B'rora the time when Turkey was urged into the war by Germany, the great question has been which side of the two "warring groups would be able to secure the help of the Balkan States. If Germany and Austria could do it, then the way for co operation and help for Turkey and Germany would be open on land . and the English navy would be circu m ven ted. It is generally believed that Germany intended finally to rush over the Balkans whether or not. as she did Belgi um. The fear of this and the ha tred of Bulgaria for Greece and Serbia brought Bulgaria to the point, where she was believed to be ready to join Germany and Aus tria, and she is mobelizing her army whicn consists of chree hun dred and fifty thousand season ed troops. She protests, however, that she means to be neutral. But German officers are said to be in change of her armies. Rus sia has demanded that she imme diately dismiss all these, and has drawn up a fleet in the Black Sea ready to enforce her demands if Bulgaria remains hostile When it becomes clear that Bulgaria was on the eve of enter ing the war on the eve of enter ing the war on the side of Ger many in the hope of secunng ter ritory at the expense of Serbia and Greece, the latter country be gan to get ready to join the En glish and French. The latter are landing troops to help Greece. The French and English con tinue the offensive against the Germans without any further marked gains, and the Russians are said to be getting in better shape all the time. With Germa ny blocked by the French and English, and having failed to de stroy the Russian armies, the next move of the Kaiser is watch with great interest. It is report ed that it will be a rush on Ser bia to break through the Bal kans to help the Turks. Many observers neiieve tnat tne wear ing down process has at last be gun.

Lenoir Topic Some time agothegovernmebt purchased from the Caldwell Land and Lumber Company a tract of land lying on Wilson's creek and John's river, in Cald well and Avery counties, the tract containing about 36,000 acres, the average price paid be ing about $1.00 an acre. The tract will form a nucleus of a national forest known as the Boone National Forest, which eventually will extend from the Yadkin divide to the North Fork of the Catawba on the east side of the Blue Ridge, extending down the lower foothills. It is the purpose of the govern menttobuyany forest lands within the boundary, if the own ers care to sell and satisfactory terms can be agreed upon. For the present, however, purchases will be confined to tracts adioin. ing or lying near the Calami Land and Lumber Co. tract. Mr. E. M. Bruner, the 1 o c a reniv sentative of the forest ser vice, has the oversight of three survey crews wno are now enga ged in the survey of these lands and organizing a tire patrol sys tem for the prevention and con trol of forest fires.

The papers are telling it that Sidna Allen, whothanks to n merciful jury is serving a term of 35 years in the State prison at tichmorid; Va., for his part in the murder of the judge and court officers at Hillsville, Vn., Iiaspro- essed religion and joined the Church. The Lord is always rea dy and willing to forgive. Tho' vour sins be as scarlet they may e made as white as wool; and The Landmark devoutly hopes that Sidna has found that peace which passeth all understanding. But it.is just as well to keep an eye on sidna. sometimes uaa men proless conversion for a rea son, liud Lippard, oi tatawua county, noted blockauer, pro fessed conversion and now they have convicted lifni of selling li quor while posing as an exhort- er at Ball Creek campmeeting. It may have been only a tempora ry dip with Bud and here's ho ping he will come again. But as to Sidna Allen he should be received on probation, under "watch care," so to speak, and if he has the root of the mat ter he won't object to being made to show his faith by his works. f he is genuinely converted he will admit the punishment he is receiving is just and will not of- er hit professed conversion as argunieut for a pardon in a few ears Statesville Landmark. It is a wise father who takes his son into a co-partnership in the business of farming for far ming is a business these days. It is wise to have a boy grow up with a sense of proprietorship in lis heart and to occupy a part of his time with the important af- airs of life, lie will not only be a better boy but a better man, be cause of that training. To create within a boy or girl an abiding Interest in some useful occupa tion and to put a real value up on their own toil is one of t h e most stable lessons to be impar ted by a parent.

Money back President Wiisoi to Wii The News and Observer, always having the tact of saying the right thing at the right time, has this editorial upon the approa ching marriage of President Wil son: Dan Cupid cares nothing for war or affairs of State. His busi ness is looking after hearts, and he is correct in his belief that ''all the world loves a lover." Thus it4 has been from the beginning. Thus it will continue to the end. Thus it is today. It will be with a sense of plead ed surprise that there will be read throughout the world the news that President Woodrow Wilson is engaged to be married, the wedd ing to take place probably in December, when Mrs. Norman R. Gait, of Washington, will be come Mrs, Woodrow Wilson, the Fret Lady of the Land. The country all the people will wish for Woodrow Wilson, the man, the greatest happiness in his marriage. In the two and a half years he has been in the White House he has born heavy burdens of State and of personal grief. If there is any man in the United States to whom happi ness should come it is Woodrow Wilson, and in the creation of new home ties, a new family cir cle, there will be the earnest wish on all sides that there may come to him unalloyed joy, happiness of the very greatest. Waiting for Fifteen Cents. Yorkville (S. C.,) Enquirer. "No, 1 have not sold my cot- on and I do not expect to until he price reaches 15 cents and then I am not sure that 1 will sell it at that figure." Such was he reply of Mr. Louis Roth, of Yorkville, to the query of the re porter as to whether or not he ind sold the cotton which he had ought last fall when the staple was not bringing more than six and one-half cents. During the all Mr. Roth bought 249 bales, mying ten cents for three-fourths of it while the rest was bought at 8 and 9 cents. The cotton has been in local ware houses a year. Discussing the outlook for ligh price cotton Mr. Koth said le expected the market to reach 5 cents before spring and very probably before Jan. 1. He said that in his opinion there was nothing to prevent cotton from each ing that figure. Mr. Roth does not think this year's crop will totul more than 10,500,000 bales.
