ESTABLBHED 1032 m i f NOT A PARTISAN ADMINISTRATION. Republicans, Progressives and Independents Called Into War Service by Wilson. Washington, D C June 17 The charge made by certain Re publican politicians that the Wilson Administration is offen sively partisan is refuted by the -facts. The statement has been m tde that only Democrats have been called by ttie President to Washington to aid him in the Tois statement has been repeat ed so often in so many pans of the country that it is fair to as sume that the authors of it sees to create the impression that the President takes the narrow view, thatonly Democrats are worthy of his confidence. A perusal of the list of prom inent Republicans, Progressives ,and Independents nw engaged in war work in the national cap ital furnishes convincing jroof that the President has disre garded politics in selecting men .of ability needed for war work. While it is true that army Dem ocrats of capacity are doing -their full share towards winning the war, and have made great sacrifices in order to serve the country at this critical period, it is' equally true that men of o;her -political affiliations have answer ed the call of the President. There are literally thousands of men and women holding posi tioris in Washington today under the Wilson Administration who have consistently supported Re publican -candidates. The call for hlp has been general and the response has been, general. - NeiUiq&sceipident; nor any of his cabinet has given any thought to puiitics in choosing mon fur responsible positions. Tue list of Republicans work ing side by side with Democrats in Washington is headed by no less a personage than William H Taft, former President of . the ILiiied States.

V hile regular army officers as a rul3 do not participate in poli tics it is a well known fact that many officers at the head of the Arn y are classed as Republi cans.

The Presbyterian Standard figures tbat the increased cost of doing business has in creased the cost of publish ing that paper fo $2.46 per year, and it announces an increase ot subscription from $2 to $2.50. If the war con tmues very long many news papers -will fiud it necessary t o either advance subscript tion rates or quit business. The idea that the subscrip tion price of a newspaper should not be changed, re gardless of cost, is nonsense. But few publishers have the courage to advance the price, simply because it has always been the custom not to change. Every other busi, nest? changes prices with th ! change in the cost of doin business There is no reasoi why a newspaper should net do like wis e, Statesville Laudmark f Weather Forecast for June 1918.

Reports Tf H of the Enemy Being Checked and at Points Being Held Back. June 17. Although the situa Hon arouno the great crescent shaped battle line in northern Italy remains somewhat obscure it seems that the Austrians have accomplished little at the incept ion of their (drive against the Italian and allie armies From the lower Piave river and north ward along that stream come en covraging reports, telling, of the enemy being checked, and at. some points being hurled back across the stream. From the Piave to the Brenta where the Teutons advanced through mountain ravines in their attempts to break through le allied lines, the situation seems to'be well in hands. It now appears that the Aus rians made three successful at tempts to cross the . Piave. One was squth of Montello, where. the battle line leaves the Piave river and mounts to the westward into the alps. One was between Gandelu and Zenson loop, where the Austrians effected a cross- ing.last November, and held a bridgehead tor some time. The other was at Saudona di Piave, about eleven miles from the tuouth of the river. At "east some of these forces have been driven back accross the river, while the others have not been able to develop any advantage from their eai4ysuccess. i - - j Reports from the battle show -tliat the tatics followed by the Austrians were similar to those which brought success to the Germans in the Sorarae and isne offenses The enemy ad vanced under a cover of smoke barrage, in comparatively small parties. These were directed against portions of the line be lieved to be lightly held. In France the Germans succeeded b this method in gaining the rear of strongly held portions of the line which had to be evacuat byi the allies. Along the Italian front, however, the foe was not able to penetrate far into the al lied positions, and a counter-at tack soon drove him back to his lines. The result-is as yet in the bal ance. So far the German troops are reported only in one sector on the mountain front, but it is not improbable that they will be dispatched to aid the Austrians if they can be spared along the French front. The fact that the first onset did hot result in a virtual debacle such as ensued when the Ger mans and Austrians attacked along the Isonzo last October, speaks volumes for the Italian mojrale and late reports give reason for belief that the blow at Italy is not being launched with the force that has characterized the Germans in France during the last three months.

Mtfers asl Ssfi (Stains Suffer Under New Ssb, Raleigh, June 18, Quite a number of Dottling works attd candy manufacturers and. a much larger "number of arris fountains and soft drink stands lave been temporarily, put out of business by the Food Administra don because they nad used more than the eighty per cent allot- meut of sugar to which, they were ' entitled. Most . of these will be allowed to begin opera tions again July 1st although a number will be closed for a long er period. Probably the most notable in stance of a sugar user going out of business temporarily is that of the Carolina Beverage Company of Salisbury, a large corporation vhich had recently very greatly x tended its capacity. This con :ern used during May nearly. 7i 000 pounds of sugar, having . far exceeded its allbttment t!i it the Food Administration di r cted the aale and redistribution of all sugar on hand, amounting to more than a carload, and or dered the plant closed. There is little livelihood that the plant will be allowed to operate again during the present year. Hundreds of soda fountains, small candy makers and other commercial users of sugar have failed to get in their sworn statements of the quantity of sugar they have heretofore : used to the Sugar Division or the Food Administration within the time specified and will not be granted any allowance of sugar for the balance of this year. Any dealers who sell sug?r to these concerns will b promptly put out of business by the Pood Ad ministration which will shortly have an effective check on all sales of sugar in the State. Cholera Morbus. This is a very painful and dangerous disease. In almost every neighborhood some - one has died from it before medicine could be obtained or a physician summoned. The right way is to have a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy in the house so as to be prepared for it. Mrs Charles Ehyeart. Hunington, Ind., writes: 'Dur ing the summer of 1911 two of my children were taken sick with cholera morbus. I used Chamberlain's Colic and Diar rhoea Remedy and it gave them immediate relief German Plans Are Foiled by Sammies. With the American Army in France June16. In their at tack on Xivary on the Toul sec tor today, the Germans hoped to enter the village and carry off a larjje number of prisoners, but the alertness of the American artillery observers completely overs urned the enemy plans. Examination of prisoners dis closed that the enemy planned the raid a week in advance and that the 600 special. troops who took part in it were rehearsed behind German lines. The enemy plan was to send forward a large party without preparatory artillery fire. f American artillery observers saw a large number of Germans in No Man's Land, and the American artillery and machine guns went into action immediat ely, and before the enemy? bar rage could get started, they bad 'inflicted heavy casualties and played havoc witb the raid"' Eight prisoners, including a lieutenant, remaineJ i'rrHhe Americans' hands.
