Enemy Peace Feeler.
Austria b Used As Medium —Cat's
Paw For Germany.
PREHIDRNT WIIJTON CUTS MAT
TER MHOHT IN TWO
SEKTFCWCEK.
Through Austria at instance of
Germany a peace feeler was sent
out Sunday. The note was officially
received Monday.
The following answer was made
last April by the President in WW
speech in Baltimore:
"Force, force to the utmost, force
Without stint or limltrthe righteous
and triumphant force which shall
make right the law of the world,
and cast every selfish dominion
down In the dust."
The answer to the official note
of peace received Monday was dis
posed of in the following curt and
pointed terms: «
"The Government of the United
States feels that there is only one
reply Which it can make to the
suggestion of the Imperial Austro-
Hungarian government. It has re
peatedly and with entire candor
•tated the terms upon which the
United States would consider peace
and can and Will entertain no pro
posal for a conference upon a mat
ter concerning which it has made
it* position and purpose so plain."
There is no temporizing here una
tbe German war lords connot mis
understand its meaning.
There hax been alight slowing
down of the Allied progiess in the
movement toward Berlin, which
moans the making sure that no foot
hold will be lost to the cnomy. Tte
Hindenburg line is slowly but'suro
ly crumbling and it is confidently
believed that it will be practically
wiped out before the coming of win
ter weather. It is a hard task, but
the Allien will do iV
Germany's separate peace to Bel
gium was promptly refused. That
It the spirit that the Allies feel and
will carry out to the fullest.
The reply of President Wilson to
tbe peace note has met the approval
of all political parties here and the
nations abroad.
The labor "slaoker" in essential
war preparations is entitled to no
more consideration than the deserter
Or slacker in tbe army ranks.
LESS SUGAR IS GOOD FOR THE
HEALTH.
Enforced Conservation Having Bene
ficial Effect.
Th* American people have entire
ly too big a "•augar tooth." accord-
Ifag to tbe State Board tif Health,
and the enforced conservation
measures of the Food Administra
tion are proving highly beneficial
to the public health. Sugar Is not
as Msentia! as an article of food,
carbohydrates In the form of starch
being more wholesome. To offset I
the reduction In the amount ofsu
gsr consumed it is suggested that
people should chew more. By long
I shewing tbe ssllva has an opportu
[ to act upon, the starch, con
| vetting It into augar. Never Use
[ sugar with cereals. All the starch
r of th* cereals is converted Into su
[ gpr in the body, hence adding su
ffisr is like carrying coals to New-
IjMStle. Malt sugar is more whole-
Hfcoroe than cane sugar, and may be
Kned b the plsce of It as a dri sk
iing for acid fruits.
FrTbe following rules are offered
} for the aaving of augar,
H Do net leavs augar in the bot-
Bom of the tea, coffee or cocoa cup.
El Sweeten breakfaat cereals with
OMWey, ay nip. maple augar, raisins
or dates.
B Substitute molasaea, maple or
J born syrup for sugar used in cook

H Use fresh dried or preserved fruit
HOT dessert in the place of '"Made
tushes" that require sugar.

This is the word to the newspapers
from the War industries Board which
has placed them in a preferred class,
provided the newspapers meet the
requirements. The one special re
quirement is that subscribers must
keep paid in advance, or the news
paper publisher will be denied the
necessary materials (or printing his
paper. Rather than have the pub
lication of the paper stopped the
publisher will atop sending papers to
those not paid in advance. The law
will be effective Sept. 15th. On and
after October lat, THE GLEANER
will be mailed only to subscribers
who have paid in advance.

Replies to Karfees
HE TTATEFL HIM POSITION IN BE
TO PAY FOR OUR
MOI.IIIKITM.
- •' -
To the people of the Fifth CoitjjreH
bional District. ' sC
I fiave received a copy of tho
Greensboro Daily News of thi sth,
in which is an article signed oy Mr.
John W. Kurfees. Republican candi
date for Congress in the -Fifth North
Carolina District, which I have the
honor to represent.
If there no other evidence of
his unfitness for the hi,;h position
which he aspires the artic 1 .,' in ques
tion would furnish complete proof.
Its purpose is to show that it was
my wish to decrease the pay of our
soldiers and that Iso voted, or that
I was against the increase of their
pay, ana so voted.
He arraigns at the same ti.ne all
members of the North Carolina del
egation save one, and also by im
plication President Wilson, Mr I)«Jnt,
chairman of the committee 6n m'l>
tary affairs, together with Mr
Kahn, the ranking minority mem
ber on that committee, who in my
opinion is one of the most able, as
'well as one of the most patriotic
members of the House, and who has
been a consistent friend to out
soldiers at all times and upon oil
occasions.
He is either grossly ignorant of
my official recorcl with reference to
the pay of soldiers, or has inten
tionally misrepresented It.
I quote from his article:
"I refer to his record, on the lUCK
tion of how much pay our bovs
should have who are taken away
from peaceful occupations at good
wages and asked to face Qorm'iii
guns across the seas.
'"When the rjuuestion arose ana
was yut s juare up to Congress as
to whether our boys should receive
the niggardly sum of S3O per month
or be cut to $25 per month the vote
of Major Charles M. Stedman stands
recorded on the side of %'ib antf
against paying them S3O.
"Not only did Major Stedman vote
as above explained but all oi th«
ten Congressmen from North Caro
lina, except one, voted likewise.
"'By reference to tho Congres
sional Record of May B, 1917, it
will be;found that after the confer
ence committee had brought in a
report recommending $25 per month
a figure below what either the
House or Senate / decided upon.
Representative Ooode, of lowa,
made a motion/fo recommit it to
conference with instruction tobr.'n?
In a report for S3O per mont't.
"Then it was that the question
was put square up to every mehn
ber of the House and a v.ote ta
ken. The result brinrf that 17?
(Major Stedman inclarfed) Voted
against a recommitment of the
question and 119 voted to recom
mit. thus saving to every American
soldlqr #5 per month for the dura
tion of the war."
Tho true facts ore these : Th"
private soldier was receiving Sf
per month. When an act H. R.3M'
to authorize the President to in
crease.temporarily the militart es
tablishment of the United Stit«»
was under dikcuasion on ,\pril 2S
1917, (see Congi esslonnal Recora |>
1519) (the following amendment was
offered. ."Insert after the word
'"men" In second line of the sub
stitute the words "with rate of en
listed men," so that the modified
substitute will rend, "Provided th'it
on and after April Ist, 1017. the ba
ste pay of our men with the rite
of enlisted men diirlnf th' contin
uance of the war shall be increased
to sls n month over and ttbove the
rate of pny proper, as fixed bv law
for time* of peae; pftvided fur
ther that this rate of pay shall
apply to enlisted men of th? na
tional guards called or drafted in
to the service of the United States
during the war. 7 voted for the
amendment and urgod Its passage.
It was adopted by the following
vote. Yeas, 257; Nays, none. I
voted for the pasange of the bill so
amended increasing the pay for en
listed men to S3O per month, (see
p. 1567 Congressional Record.)
Tho bill was sent to the Senate
for consideration. It passed the
Senate with amendments including
a change with regard to pay of the
private soldier. The bill was Mien
sent to conference. The conference
committee was composed of three
members of the committee on mil
itary affairs of the house and three
memebrs of the committee on mil
itary affairs of the Senate. Under
the report of the conferees a pri
vate soldier called into foreign ser
vice would have received S3O per
month. It was understood that all
would be> called into foreign ser
vice. Over 1,500,000 men are already
"overthe seas" and the balance are
going as fast aa transports can car
ry them.
When the conference report was
presented to the House a motion
was made to recommit the bill I
voted against the motion to recom
mit the bill and voted to adopt the
conference report. It was a mat
ter of supreme Importance that the
conference report should f>e
promptly adopted. Every hour of
delay was fraught with danger to
our country. When this conference
report wus presented to the House
by the committee on military af
fairs the President wrote a letter
to Chairman Dent urging the
prompt adoption of the report. His
letter Is publlshod in the Congres
sional Record of May IS, 1917, at p.
2215, and reads as follows:
"'The White House,
"Washington, May 17, 1917. '
"Hon S. Hubert Dent, Jr„ House
of Representative*.
"My Deur Mr. Dent:
"Now that the army bill has been
successfully brought out of confer
ence, I want to express to you my
sincere appreciation of the service
you and your colleagues have ren
dered in helping to bring (he bill
to a filial consideration free from
any feature that would embarrass
the system of dralt upon which It
is based. Every hour counts in
these critical times, and delay might
have very serious consequences.
"Sincerely yours,
WOODROW WILSON."
Mr. Dent voted tor the adoption
of the report and against its recom
mital.
Hon. Julius Kahn, the ranking
Republican member of the commit
tee on military affairs of the House,
voted likewise. Possibly Mr, Kur
fees,. who in his new born zeal for
theprlvte soldier is suffering with
mental anguish will believe what
this distinguished gentleman said
when fhe motion to recommit was
under consideration. During his re
marks opposing recommittal which
wiU be found on page 2375 of the
Record he spoke as follows:
"What are the facta about this
matter? The pay of the soldier un
der this bill will be $25 a month
on his first enlistment. If he has
subsequent enlistment* he gets ad
ditional pay. If he la a private
of the first claas he gets $3 a
month extra. For expert marks
manship he gets $9 additional. So
that a private of the first cjass
who haa a number of enlistment*,
under this bIU will get about $37 .a
month and over, and 80 per cent,
additional U they get foreign ser-
vice. They will ret more than the
New Zelander gets and he will get
more than the Canadian gets. The!
Canadian does not get Ms pay of $33
a month except in foreign service.
The American who gets $25 a
month under this bill when he goes
into foreign service will get an in
crease of 20 per cent or S3O a
month, and that is all the gentle
man of lowaMr. Goode) is contend
ing for. The moment our private
soldier puts his foot on the deck
of a ship to go across the Atlantic
under the bill proposed by the con
ferees his pay will jump to S3O per
month.
"I submit to the ' House n this
proposition. When a bill goes to
conference it Is necessary for the
conferees to give and take. The
House conferees could not get
everything that we wanted in the
bill. We have to yield somethings
to the Senate. They wanted some
things in the legislation Just as
earnestly as we did. This is a con
ference agreed to alter mature de
liberation, after' lengthy discussion
on the part of the conferees of the
two houses, and I submit that un
der the circumstances the House
should stand by the conferees.
This bill remained unacted upon for
a long time. The country is grow
ing impatient. Let us enact this
into a law. I feel confident that
the pay of the soldier as propose 1
Inr this bill will be satisfactory to
the American people and the
American soldier."
The motion to recommit pre
vailed.
When the conference report was
again submitted to the House it
was ayrreed to on Mav 10, 1917, see
pp. 2420, 2423, 2458 of the Record
1 voted for the adoption of the re
port which provided for S3O a,
month for -the private soldier.
Thus it will be seen that my of
ficial record proves exactly the
opposite of what Mr. Kurfees' arti
cle intennded.
Moreover, there is no bill which
has ever been presented to the
House, the true purpose of which
was,to assist the private soldier,
to provide for his comfort ana
happiness and the necessities of his
dependents which _I have, not fa
vored. I gladV/ tVvb both time
and labor to assiat in thair pis-*
sage. ;
when the war in which we are
engaged shall have been ended, our
soldiers will return home crowned
with triumph, to receive the bless
ings of their fellow countrymen. It
is a matter of pride with me that
I can grasp their hands cordially,
and look into their faces, and say
with truth to them that from
the day of the declaration of war
against Germany, that I have en
deavored to assist in Jtha prosecu
tion of that war to the best of my
ability. I* have rejoiced in the
the splendor of their achievements
Neither in public discourse, nor in
private conversation, have I ever
uttered a word calculated to in-
Interfere with the successful pros
ecutfon of the war, or to cast a
shadow upon the brightness of the
great deeds of ojr soldiers which
will be an inheritance o' glory
for our children in the diy.i to |
come.

No Vacation at University From Sept
25th Till Close of War- Weeks
Collection Purchased.
BY KOBKRT W. MADRY.
Chapel Hill, Sept. 10.—The
University of North Carolina is
undergoing many changes along
almost every line just now as the
result of the establishment of a
unit of the student ariny training
corps here this year. The build
ing?, equipment, iu fact the whole
campus will be put in the hands
of. the government with the sign
ing of the proposed contract by
the University officials at an early
date. What was two years ago a
peaceful college campus will soon
bo transformed into virtually a
military cauip. - -
A specially appointed faculty
committee has been hard at work
this week mapping out courses to
suit the needs of the new train
ing requirements. Several courses
have been discarded, new courses
with a distinct bearing on the war
being introduced ns substitutes.
Other courses have been consider
ably modified.
The instructors iu the courses
being thus temporarily dropped
from the curriculum will either
enter other departments or go
into some branch of the service.
Several faculty members, besides
those already iu service, have re
cently indicated a desire to pur
sue the latter course.
From the 25th of September,
the first day of r%istration, until
the oud of the war the University
will remain in continuous session
—no vacation, according to the
authorities.
All members of the student
army training corps will room in
barracks and eat in the mess hall,
all those 18 and physically fit be
ing in this class of eligiblea. Those
not eligible to enlist in the S. A.
T. C. will be taken care of in the
private homes and boarding houses
near the campus. Students will
probably be inducted into the S.
A. T. C. about October first.
Through the recent purchase
by the University of the Rtepheu
B. Weeks Collection of North
Carolinians, an acquisition the ex
tent and completeness of which is
nowhero equaled in the State, not
only can the investigation of any
subject of North Caroling history
be profitably undertaken bat the
story of the State's life until now
imperfectly told, can be set forth
in all its truth and complete
ness.
The Weeks Collection of North
Caroliniana comprises 10,000
books, pamphlets, bound and
unbound periodicals, bound
aud unbound newspapers, maps,
repoits of State officers and
State institutions, the Legisla
ture, State laws, etc., all of
which distinctly relate to the
life, government, history, and
literature of North Carolina. Ar
rangements for the purchase and
removal of the Collection to the
Univeraity were completed by Dr.
L. R. Wilson and W. P. M. Weeks
several days ago, and the Uni
versity Library shelves are now
being filled with the rich oolleo

kidney's were in bad shape and
the doctor, had ordered me to stop

vegetables on account of my
stomach, so I was 'up against it',
strong.
"I frequently had to get up
four or five times during a night
on account of my kidneys. My
urine was highly colored, feverish
and had bad odor and the pains
in my back were almost unbear
able. I've waked up inany a night
from these pains to roll aud toss
bill it was about getting up time.
Then I'd be all worn out and felt
like sleeping, more tired than
when I went to bed the night be
fore..
"After taking two bottles of
Dreco I am happy to say I api feel
ing better than in many a day.
My stomach is as well as ever in
my li Je, and I now eat corn, beans,
potatoes, in fact anything I crave
and it never gives me a pain or
diarrhoea. My kidneys are all
right and I go to bed and never
wake up a siugle time. The pains
in my back' are gone, urine is
normal again and I am gaining
strength every day. I certainly
recommend Dreco to the people
for it is a medicine pressing

Spanish influenza, Is thus described
by Burgsoa General Bhie:
"People are stricken oa the streets,

SUMMER COMPLAINT.
During the hot weather of the
summer months some member of
almost every family is likely to be
troubled with an unnatural loose
ness of the bowels, and it Is of
greatest importance that this be
treated propmptly, which can only
be done when the medicine is kept
on hand. Mrs. F. F. Scott, Scotts
ville, N. Y., states, "I first used
Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea
Remedy as much as five years ago.
At that time I had a severe at
tack of summer complaint ana was
suffering intense pain. One dose
relieved me. Other members of my
