ABOUT THE WAR
The late war news is little dif
ferent from the past days since
the Allies stopped and turned the
enemy back. The fighting is in
tense. Tho Americans and .the
Allies are driving the enemy back
—those who are not killed or cap
tured. lint this does not mean
that the war will end right soon.
If the man power from America
ami other sources can be placed
iu the fighting as fast as is calcu
lated on doing, it is hoped to end
the war next year; but this is by
no means certain. It is certain,
however, that day by day the
Allies are growing stronger on
land and sea, while the enemy is
growing weaker. General (now
Mnrshal) Foch is showing himself
more than a match in strategy
against anything the Germans
can put in the field. His licks
are hard and effective.
Tho Americnim linvo acquitted

"But One Way to Peace, and That is

Hudson Maxim writes as follows
to the Manufacturers' Record:
"My opinion is that we cannot
consider any terms of peac. what-'
soever with the German Govern
ment as now constituted. .Ger
many must be licked and the
llolienzollerfis ' kicked off the
throne before we can even talk of
peace without outraging our self
respect.
"The German military ring'
must be brokeu and so shattered
that it can never be reunited.
Those who have been responsible
for the rape of Belgium and
France; those who have been re
sponsible for the heinous outrages
upon the civilian populations over
riden by Germany; those who have
been responsible for breaking the
rules of war and using poisonous
gas in battle; those who have been
responsible for torpedoing pas
senger vessels and hospital ships,
and for dropping aerial bombs on
shore hospitals; those who have
boon responsible for the killing
and maiming of women and chil
dren iu Loudon and Paris with
aerial bombs; those who have been
responsible for breaking the most
sacred treaties and obligations -
have placed themselves beyond
the pale and cannot and must
not lie bargained with iu any
peace arrangement
"Those militaristic bandits of
the breed of Attilla who cold
bloodedly prepared to pluudor the
world and enslave mankind, and
to that nefarious end planned to
violate every human obligation
and attribute of duty, mercy and
decency, and are not fit to place
their names to a peace compact,
beside those of the heroes who
shall, with sacrifice of blood and
treasure, save the world from
their clutches.
"Anyone proposing peace with
Germany before Kaiserism shall
have Itoon crushed out of existence
should either be interned or I e
placed iu an insane asylum for
medical treatment. There is but
one way to peace, and that is the
way Jo Berlin. It will bo-a long,
hard, expensive and bloody road,
but it is tho only road, and when
we shall have arrived at the end
of that road we shall have only a
subjugated, suppliant, Kamrad
calling populace to deal with, and
tho terms which we shall then
make will not lie the terms of any
but merely terms im
posed by us according to our ideas
of justice.
"Justice will make one inex
orable demand on that occasion,
and it will be that Germany shall
bo it- tho burden of rebuilding and
reinibtiriiig Belgium and the deso
lated portions of Northern France
iu full measure, and Alsace and
Lorraine must be restored to
Franco.
"What other terms in ly lie im

'' Making Sorghum Sirup.
I'.y $1 W irpni't l, Agent ill Bugar I'lnnt
Co Operative Work between the Norlli
Carolina Kxtcnaion Service and llio
United Stiitcn Department of Agri
culture.
Tlio first requsito for making
[good H,irii[) in good equipment, but j
this need not necessarily lie ex-,
pensive. Next to good equipment j
tho maker must exercise the high- |
est care, cleanliness ami good j
judgment in handling th;« equip
ment.
The mm should never lie more ,
than one to two hours ahead of
the evaporator and no more juice j
should be extracted 011 any day
than in ty be finished on the same
day. Kaw juice, untreated by
lime or chemicals, will ferment in
a short time, making it unfit for
ftifup." This is particularly true
in warm weather.
G#refnl filtering or straining of
the juice is a necessity. There
are a uuinber of chemical methods
of purifying and clarifying tho
juice, buL all of these are open to
the objection that in tin- hands of
tho inexperienced or careless un
satisfactory results may follow.
AM fi general thing, it is better
that the small producer of simp
should not employ chemical meth
ods. Allowing the juice to come
in contact with iron surfaces
should be avoided as tar as pos
sible. for iron tends to darken the
, color of t he sirup.
In the evaporating pan a layer
of juice not over 1.1 to If inches
deep should be carried at any
time, and with care even a thin
layer may be successfully carried, j
A thin layer causes a quick evap
oration and less color is developed
when concent ruling to a sirup. |
Deep boiling in it pan will have
the same effect as in a kettle, a
dark, bad-tasting sirup. Some
makers bring much Of the sedi
ment to tho top by adding to tliO|
boiling liquid the white of an eggj
or some whole, fresh, sweet milk.
This causes the particles to rise to
the top, where they may be re
moved by skimming. Thequitu-!
tity of egg or milk used matters
but little if the liquid is weil
skimmed.
The boiling liquid should be
thoroughly and constantly skim
med from the time the first scum
forms until the sirup has reached |
the finishing point. There is no j
hotter method of cleansing than
this, whether artificial means liavy 1
been used or not. The skimmings
are a good food for hogs, if chemi
cals have not boon used, but too
much must not he fed at first.
To determine the finishing point
is one of the most: importanti
things for the sirup maker to learn.
Most makers determine this by
pouring sirtqi from 11 spoon and
watching the last drops fall. If
these separate from the edge of
the spoon in broad thin sheets t lie
sirup is ready to bo drawn olt.
Some makers judge the finishing
point l»y tho action and color of
tlio boiling liquid, but this met hod
is not always advisable. The only
infallible methods of detenu ill-1-
tioli are by the use of the thet
momoter or the Ilatime hydrome
ter. At sea level finished sirup
will boil at, roughly speaking, 2M
degrees (Fahr), while for every
500 feet above sea level the boil
ing point is lowered one degree.
At 2000 feet above sea level this
point would be at-220 degrees ami
at ."000 feel 21 $ degrees. In using
the thermometer it, must not bo
allowod to touch the sides or bot
tom of tho pan.
To describe tho hydrometer hero
would take too much space, but
for a finished sirup the reading on
this instrument should be 38 de
grees and over. A finished sirup
will weigh not less tlwii 11}
pounds to tin' gallon.
The finished sirup should be
quickly drawn from the fire and
rapidly cooled. If careful si rain
ing, sell ling and skimming of the
juice and boiling liquid has been
practiced, the product will
ly need filtering
Sorghum sirup can lie success
■ fully filtered through 11 iniii'l or
> felt only when it is hot. A six
inch bed of sharp sand or small
gravel, carefully cleaned of all
soluble matter, makes a very good
, filter. Some makers use i> to S
! inches of excelsior or wood straw
. for this purpose. The excelsior
should be soaked in hot water to
remove all soluble matter before
being used. Any kind of filters
( should be carefully cleansed and
I sterilized with hot water or steam
before using a second time.
Hirup should be put in its con
tainers while hot. If it 's intend-
I ed for market purposes a con ven
r iont form of 1-onlaiuor is a quart,
r two quart, or gallon tin can with
•crew top. Quart bottles or stone
or »'la*s jugs or jars may also be
used. If for home use wooden

Former Chairman oi Corporation
Commission Locked-Up—Later
Released on Bond.
Air. Edward L. Travis, lat© eh Hir
udin of llio North Carolina cor
i poration commission, a prominent
! lawyer and former member of the
iNorth Carolina Legislature, was
j arrested in Washington late Fri
lay night, locked up in the police
station and held for 16 hours. Mr.
' Travis was refused permission to
'communicate with his attorney or
i his friends when he was arrested
land was tlitis denied the privilege
|of bail. When his friends learned
of his arrest and called at the po
lice station next morning, it was
some hours before they wore al*
j lowed to see him.
In brief, Mr. Travis is accused
of conspiring with three other
I persons to make ft possible
I one Leon Myer Green of New Vurk
'to obtain exemption under the
! draft law. The government al
, leges Vho plan was to get certain
'contracts from the shipping bo*rd,
; whereupon Green was to be given
employment by the* Perth Amboy
Drydock Company, which would
permit him to claim an "essential
employment" and avoid military
service. As soon as Mr. Travis'
attorney, Mr. ]{. 11. McNeill of
\V ashing I on, Representative
Claude Ivitchiii aud other friends
were permitted to see him, bond
was promptly given in the sum of
*5,000, Mr. Kitcliin becoming
surety, and the hearing of the
case set for the 14th.
Mr. Travis claims that lie acted
for the shipbuilding concern pure
llyina legal capacity and knows
'nothing ol any conspiracy, lie
! was to get a fee on a business
basis, he says, and the entire
transaction was one of propriety
between attorney and client. It
!is understood investigations are
still in progress concerning nego
tiations for the contract with the
emergency fleet corporation. Mr.
I Travis was to receive a big fee 1 —
| probably as high as sloo,ooo—lf
the contracts, involving about
I $40,000,000, went through It is
said that while it is legal for an
' attorney to appear for a contrae-
I tor to secure government cou
j tracts, it is a violation of Federal
! law for the attorney to work for a
contingent fee, and in this respect
' Mr. Travis may have violated the
law.
Mr. McNeill, Mr. Travis' attor
n ey, says however, that Mr. Trav is'
entire connection with the alleged
shipbuilding contract aud the
draft evasion charge were purely
professional and entirely in keep
ing with tho law, and that they
will lie able to show the courts at
first opportunity. Mr. Kitchiu,
lifelong friend and associate of
Mr. Travis, expresses entire con
fidence iu his innocence. Mr.
Travis said: . ■
"I.am not guilty of the charge
made against me. I know nolli
iritc h)poul inly plan to evade the
draft law and that is the only
charge contained in the warrant. I
was engaged as an attorney by the
I'ertli Amboy Drydoek Company
to submit'to the emergency licet
corporation its proposition for con
tracts: for building ships. I drew
up the papers. The proposition
has not been accepted. 1 have
been connected with t he company
only since .1 tily 1.
I 'Being a lawyer of experience I
cannot understand the procedure
which landed me in prison and
deprived me of all my rights. I
asked Department of Justice offi
cials to permit mo to see my
friends and arrange for my release,
but that was denied. I shall fight
this case to the end, for I am not
guilty of any violation of law."
Mr. Travis'alleged conspirators,
K. J. Joseph and Leon Green,
were arrested at the same time,
being later released on bond.
Creen, it is said, was formerly a
Southern newspaper man, having
I been employed iu this State and
; South Carolina.
Mr. Travis has had au office in
Washington for sometime aud has
spent most of his time there re

absences from the office of the

If President Wilson were regu
larly before the people for re
election this year and were defeat
ed his defeat would be a disaster
to the cause of the Allies equal to
the loss of an iinportaut battle on
the western front. Only second
itTimporlaiice as a political ©vent
of world signilicance would be the
defeat of Mt Wilson's party in
the election oP'an opposition ma
jority in either or both branches
of Congress. Sneh a result would
be heralded with great satisfac
tion throughout the Central Em
pires and would lie accepted by
the enemy as a weakening of "the
will to victory" on the part of the
American people, and would in
spire in the German people a new
faith in their military leaders.
It is not et}pugh that Republi
cans are as loyally supporting the
war program as Democrats. Mr.
Wilson should have the support
and control which can bo given b\
a majority of his own political
faith in hoth branches of Con
gress. With Democratic control
in either house depending upon a
thread so slender that the defeat
of any one of the Democratic can-'
didates in this Slate would prob
ably break it, it becomes a matter
of the highest importance that no
fcteps should be left untaken to
insure the election of a Democratic
Senator and ten Democratic Con
gressmen from this State.
This is not a time when the op
position party should expect or
wish to make inroads on the party
in power.
It is not a lime when personal
interests should be pushed upon
the screen.
. It id uot a time when independ
ent candidates should air their
views or alleged grievances before
the public.
Above all, it is not a time that
will permit of anything in the na
ture of submarine attacks upon
those in authority.
The Republicans have nomi
nated practically a full ticket all
the way down the line in this
State. If there"is any convincing
reason why John M. Moreliead
should bo elected to supplant the
tried and faithful F. M. Simmons
in the State ir should be fully and
fairly presented to the public for
public consideration. Mr.
mons has been one of the most
faithful and the most resourceful
of the President's supporters in
the Settate. Ilis long serace, his
high position' in the esteem and
confidence of all his colleagues has
permitted- him to shape majority
concert of action in the Senate
upon legislation of the greatest
moment ever considered by an
American Congress. Should the
people of North Carolina be indif
ferent to the suggestion of our
Republican friends that he bo
turned out and his high position
bo made impotent by the election
of Mr. Morehead at this crisis in
world history or that the issue
thus raised bo left to the hap
hazard of a silent or bushwhack
ing campaign ?
The same reason and logic ap
ply in less degree only to the ten
Congressmen from this State. All
of them are vitally needefcl in Con
gress, not only because of their
superior equipment of experience
but because the defeat of any one
of thein might easily mean the
reorganization of the Houses by the
party in opposition to the Presi
dent,. The President should not
bo subjected to this embarrass
ment during this world crisis,
which he is managing with unex
ampled skill, nor should the peo
ple of North Carolina be indif
ferent to any suggestion that this
be done.
Our Republican friends'have
entirely misconstructed the sug
gestion of pur generous and pa
triotic Governor. After they have
challenged Democratic supremacy
in every department of govern
lifbnt possible in State and nation
by ihe nomination of a Republi
can candidate for practically
every public office that is open to
(lection this year, they theu sug
gest that the issue be submitted
to the people without public dis
cussion.
Public discussion should, as a
matter of course, be in keeping
with the dignity of those momenta
ous times. Incidental and unim
portant matters should not be
crowded upon public attention,
but it soeins to us there has never
been a time when those in high
authority could with more pro
priety be asked to present to the
people their views upon the great
problems that have engaged their
attention these recent years, and
that are now ini(ieuding, or a time
which called for more earnest ef
fort upon the part of the people
to maintain and support with in
creased majorities those who have
.BO conspicuously served the State
and nation.
In addition to a United States
Senator and ten Congressmen to
be elected in North Carolina in
November there is a State General
Assembly, a majority of our State
i SupremeijCourt, *two members of
the Corporation Commission, ten
judges of our Superior Courts,
twenty solicitors and a full county
ticket in every cqjinty in the
State. These are all matters
worthy of our best attention and
should not be left to accident or
chance.

Successful Experiments Convince O*
flclals That Substitutes Will Large

Preserving May be Increased—For

Raleigh.—No actual hardships Is go
ing to result In North Carolina from
the acute shortage of sugar -which ex
ists at this time and there Is no rea
son at all why the Quantities of fruits
that are canned and preserved should
be lessened in any degree. This la
the frankly expressed opinion of State
Food Administrator Henry A. Page,
Conservation Chairman John Paul
Lucas and Mrs. Jane S. McKlmmon,
Director of Home Economics for the
Food Administration and Head of
Home Demonstration activities in
North Carolina.
Experiments Encourage.
Food Administration officials hare
been greatly concerned over the sugar
shortage, and still are (or that matter,
but they have been greatly encou/ag
"ed and relieved during the past few
days by the marked success of experi
ments that have been conducted by
Mrs. McKlmmon and her wide-awake
assistants in the use of cane syrup,
sorghum, corn syrup, corn sugar and
other procurable sugar substitutes.
Mrs. McKlmmon and her forces are
working over time on these tests and
are preparing tried and proven for
mulas and reclges which, with accom
panying suggestions, will be printed
by the Food Administration In the
form of a bulletin or leaflet Jn the Im
mediate future for distribution
throughout North Carolina. The for
mulas being prepared by Mrs. McKlm*
mon will be verly largely used in other
States also, Washington authorities
being keenly Interested In them and
recognizing the splendid ability of
Mrs. McKlmmon's organization in thla
lin* of work.
Can Add Sugar Later.
It la a recognized fact that sugar
does Increase the palatablllty of can
ned fruits btU the product may be
saved Just as easily without the addi
tion of sugar, according to Mrs. Mc-
Klmmon. In fact a large number of
housewives have always canned with
oqt sugar, adding sugar only when the
fruit ia opened and used. Peaches, ap
ples, pears, berries, etc., which are de
sired for marmalade, jelly, jam or
preserves, may T>e canned now and
made into the ultimate product weeka
or months from now when. If sugar la
oot available, there will certainly be
available a considerable quantity of
cane syrup, corn syrup, corn sugar,
sorghum, or other substitute,
j Experiments have developed the
, fact that for best results different sub
stitutes must be used for difforent
fruits or different products and the
tests are for the purpose of deter
mining which substitutes may be moat
satisfactorily used in each kind of
fruit Mrs. M. M. Davis, of Mrs. Mc-
Klmmon's organization, la using Is
her demonstrations samples of apple,
peach and pineapple marmalade mad*
with syrup Instead of sugar, and con
noisseurs agree that the product doea
not auffer at all In comparison with
similar product* containing sugar.
Reports to the agricultural force*
and Food Admlnlatration here indi
cate that there is a large acreage of
can* planted for syrup in North Caro
lina this year and a large production
of syrup Is anticipated.
