Nobody, in the opinion of Mr. Poincare, has any right to doubt the solidity of France. Vet on the very day that he Spoke francs were quoted on the New York money market at a shade over sis and a half cents, whereas if nobody doubt ed the financial solidity of France they would be worth 19.3 cents. The financial world takes the liberty of disagreeing with the French pre mier. . In trie, face of this cold fact it is of no use for French politicians ' to get excited and demand for their country recognition that the world simply cannot afford to give it Most Americans are sincerely desirous of seeing the time come when France may regain her old position in thei world of finance; but it is silly to Maintain that she never has depart ed from it. " France is anything but solid, and the present course of her officials ; is doing nothing ' to strengthen her. v Admittedly the French are In a bad situation. The best part 'of their industrial country is still in ruins, and the enemy who ruined it never has been made to pay for the damage, because France's ally, Eng land, when the settlement was being made, insisted upon adding her own pension bill to .the reparations ac count -The French naturally added their own, and tha Italian and Bel gians theirs, with the result that the totaj went to sucH a staggering figure that there) is no hop that Germany ever can pay it all;, and she has therefore paid next to noth ing. To this day England has never relinquished that pension claim, and consequently nobody has-been able to collect anything except a few in stallments on the" interest . Therefore "it is : not altogether France's fault that she is anything but solid; but no matter whose fault it is, the fact aemains, and Mr. Poincare gets nowhere by deny ing it . - , , Still, something is beine done. In the current 'issue of the Saturday Evening Post there is an article by Isaac Marcosson on the Stinnes ar rangement for the restoration of the devastated region.' Through this business men's, agreement, nego tiated between .Hugo Stinnes, the German financier, and Senator de Lubursac, of France, the Stinnes corporations are to furnish certain materials, timber, cement, plaster, brick and tile, to the owners of wrecked property to help them re build. The owners, instead of pay ing the Stinnes corporation, are to pay the Franco.,: government, the payment to be credited on the" repa rations account; while Stinnes will look to the German government for hi pay. As Mr. Marcosson points out, there are numerous economic objections to thia arrangements; but at least it promise to geisha cities of northern Franc rebuilt, which is more than the politicians have ac complished.' But what credit is that to Mr. Poincaset He didn't even know that the arrangement was being negotiated until the thing was done. Tet Mr. Poincare probably is as good as arty-of the politicians now monkeying with the reparations problem. -The truth is, none of them will accomplish anything until they learn that the question is not to be settled by .argument and ora tory, but by the application of busi ness principles. Neither France.1 nor any other country, can, be solid as long as it i nuea with nothing but hot air.

For you sake, for th sake of him quoted, and above all for th ake of th facts themselves, which ar not without importance, may I eorreot those errors? -'-It was not stated that T,0I men from North Carolina were ln th Slst division. It was attempted to be carefully shown that a war strength uiTieiun contained only 17,000 . men and 1,900 officers. The statement as reported would have claimed for the lst division th strength' of about thr divisions. Th statement which was confused was that 71.001 men went from North Carolina Into th army during tha war, "on of which thro was Bill Orlmsley, whleh I sub mit was in accord with th facts.-It waa further stated that th (1st divi sion was composed of'msn from North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Flor. roa, Aianama, Porto Rico, and Nw York, ln th main. ,r i It was not stated that the division sailed on August 1. 1911, and wnt In to front tin trenches on Angust It, 1911.

And especially ft was not " stated that from August li, or from th Mm It entered the first line, It stead ily advanced tintil the day of the armistice.

SIDNEY 8. ALDERMAN. Greensboro, Not.-, 'Jl. ARMISTICE DAT. Editor of The Dally News: This A Armistice day, th great day of democracy'a vindication, the day of hope in promise for human brotherhood's realisation In the world..,.. -v-i- , It is a day of welling up hop. Rejoicing and gratitude are. on ev ery Hp. Right has won. "We saw In November 11, mi, the dawn of a new era of friendship and lov and mutual sacrinc of man for man, of nation for nation, slid it was en trancing to gllmps that vision. On day It will be real. But I am thinking "particularly this morning of- the lessons of the first Armistice day for us, In light of what preceded It and what has followed. What are thos lessons T First, as to the value of prepara tion. Germany held the world at bay for nearly five years because she was prepared. Ninety-six per cent of . our commissioned officers were college men, though college men represent but one per cent of the population. When the-avallabl supply of college nusn gave out, th war department, through the stud ents' army training oorps, took over some 400 colleges to make more-on short notice. College preparation Is thus shown to be the entrance door to leadership In life. Second, as to the strensrthenihsr power of the conviotion you are right There was some doubt about the motives that actuated th Euro pean nations engaged In the world war."" Our motives were unselfish, altruistic, sacrificial. They made us Invincible. Thy broke the spirit of Prussianlsm even mors than our mobilised military and civic might. Third, as to tha compensation en tailed by high Idealism put to prao tice. In the days before th war, we wer regarded as, a nation of vulgar materialists, bloated with luxury, bent- on our own pleasure. During the first two years of the war, w wer th most hated nation In his tory, because we wer enriching our selves as neutrals: through trad and commerce and dollar diplomacy with the belligerents of both aides fattening, as It were, on the gore of our stricken brothermen. But when ws entered ln, with the noblest spir it of brotherhood that ever nerved a nation to undertake a bloody task, !we wro readily Reclaimed the fie- j L' - K.r'h'SJ man history. i eunnj- ae 10 in necessity 61 or ganising idealism t nuike It efteot Ivs. A sinister group of partisan anl selfish Interests, almost on the day of, the Armlstloe, began to or ganise the populace against the idealism of the war davs. Th up shot was that th trety of peace, embodying th finest flower of Chris tian statesmanship, th league of nations, was defeated. Immediate ly thia nation and' 'Japan began to enlarge their - navies. President Harding saw th Impending! disaster of such a course, and while he was unwilling to enter thb league of nations, , he nailed th disarmament eontereno to dlsoover methods of international agreement for the con aervatlon of th Idealism that stirred men's hearts and national lea-lsla- tures during th- frlrhtful dav. nt tne, world holocaust. Virtue cannot rest ner Claim on her Integrity of purpose alone. She must organise to make her Idealism affeotlve. There is a great truth -here, for th Chris, tlan church. a . V. A. HARPER, i Lion.

Editor of the Dally News: You say It would be unconstitu tional to make baying liquor a crime. To what ectlon of the state or na tional constitution do you referf I find ln the United States consti tution that the manufacture.sale or transportation of Intoxicating liquor in the United States for beverage pur poses is prohibited. I think of three methods of obtaining liquor: Making It, buying, or by gift, In either case, If he removes it or puts it to his mouth he transports it and is Indicta ble. If he stoops down or gets on his knees and laps it like a dog, tie transports It down his gullet Into his stomach -and Is Indictable. The Vol stead act is quite as strong and posi tive in Its expresson as to having or transporting as the constitution Is., The law of North Carolina contains no such provisions. The United States constitution authorises th States to enforce its provisions, this state has not done it, but allows people to make wine, and to have whisky If not had or kept fof sale. It Is this conflict ot laws the abolition of whlch the Methodist Protestant conference rec ommends and desires. . You think If the buye Is declared to b criminal, evidence to aonvtct cannot be obtained. A little wider experience in .police courts will In form you that men who buy liquor do not tell from whom they obtain It; and that the bootlegger Is quite as likely to tall on the buyer as the Lbuyer Is to tell on the bootlegger. But -being drunlC or a "whisky breath'? Is sufficient under the .con stitution or tha Volstead act to con vict. 4nd they should be by the . law of -North Carolina, ,Th breath -or the drunk would then prove the buy ing or making or having Or. trans porting the liquor. The bootlegger Is most usually caught by liquor being found In his boot, or bsing seen at or running from a still, not by being told on by his .customer, Mr. Edi tor. T. T, HICKS.

Free nitrogen la - highly rnert tfvat is to say, It enters Into chemical com bination with other elements with a reluctance that can be overcome only by th utilisation of large quantities of energy. Instead of speaking of' "fixed" nitrogen it would be as cor rect and more Intelligible to apeak of energy fixed in compounds if nitrogen. 6ueh energy has two qualities which, as yet, cannot be replaoad by any other form ot stored toro. Th green vegetation of th earth and the waters, which -la the ultimate source of the food supply of man and besots, cannot flourish ln th absence of "fixed" nitrogen. The quantities pres ent' In all soils sre limited, and are quickly exhausted by cropping; It the yield of wheat or of potatoes Is to he maintained ot Increased by intensive cultivation, artificial nitrogenous fer tilisers must be supplied. The ratio between the serrate of a country and the population It can aupport after a vary few years of cultivation, de pend on th quantities of fixed nitrogen that ean b supplied mor than on any other single fsotor. The sscond peculiar quality of fix ed nitrogen ! that It can give up Its energy almost Instantaneously with tremendous vehemence when th op portunity 1st offered it by" simple chemical means! The gaa Is as swift to free Itself as it wa reluctant td entralnto combination. Hence it Is th basis of th vast bulk of explo sives ussd In munitions et war, ln. mining and ln blasting. Food supply defense and aggression and a great series of operations, from mining to the making of roads an harbors, de pend, ln th 'present state" of knowl edge, on the energy fixed In nitrogen compounds. Until shortly before the war the world obtained Its fixed nitrogen al most entirely from natural- bds In South America. Effective, command ot the sea by an enemy 'could hay reduced any populous country to mil itary impotence , and actual starva tion as soon as her Imported stores . L . - C. . I k - of laboratories, notably by Crooks aadfj Raylelgh ln England, methods' had been devised by which fixed nitrogen could be produced artificially, alert ing either with the nitrogen of th air or with relatively useless, nitro gen compounds, such as ammohia a by-product of the gas Industry. Th next stage, still in active prog ress, was th transformation ot lab oratory experiments into practical manufacturing methods. Norway and Germany wer th first to accomplish this result on a largs scale, with such success that Norway, when the sub marine attacks on shipping became acute, waa abie to supply great quan tities chiefly to the allied countries, and Oermany contrived to Inereas he output of food and to maintain her stock of explosives long after she . would otherwise' have had re surrender. Sine then other countries, each ln proportion to their foresight, the encouragement of their jrovern menta and their scientific and engi neering rflll, have been following the lead. ..,-(r There are now nearly a dosen pro cesses, each successful on a non economic scan, and several actually having reaohed, or rapidly approach ing, an economic scale. But, let It De repeatedv "fixed" nitrogen Is really "fixed" energy. With th single ex ception of th Hausser process, In which the energy is obtained by ex plosion Inside a bomb, all require an abundant supply of energy from some external source. The percent age of the energy expended, which Is actually stored, , varies from about two (In ths electric arc process where air" Is forced to combine ln an eleo trlc flame) to some 40 or BOi Doubt less great Improvement will be mad, a In other industries, In the direction of 'more economical transformation.
