r-SOLDlERS.li- - . .
;,-'- German submarines, probably four
- or five in number have been prowling
'Along the; American coast since lost
Sunday; and hare, destroyed at' least
I . a dozen American vessels. It is fear
ed that 68 lives have been lost, all
; from the steamship Carolina, of the
. New York and Porto Rico . line, de
Btroyed Sunday. ; Sixteen of this num
', jr ber are known to Lave perished when
; : one of the ship's boats capsized Sun
day night ? The fate of the others is
not known, but it ie hoped part or all
of them have been picked up by pass-
' ing -ships.
The ships1 destroyed were all mer
chant Vessels. ,'
The German drive in France has
been effectually checked on the banks
of the Marne. It is said that Ameri
can, machine gunners arriving at the
Marne saved Chateau Thierry 'from
' German capture. A few minorghts
for. local positions are still in prog
ress. -v,-
In the American "sector, the Ameri
can soldiers won brillian victories over
the enemy last week, capturing the
town of Cantigny.
, Commenting on the capture of Can
tigny by the Americans, the Evening
News, London, says:
"Bravo t The young Americans!
Nothing in today's battle narrative
from the front is more exhilarating
than the account of their fight at Can
tigny tt was clean cut from begin
ning, to Send, like one of their coun
trymen's short stories, and the short
story : of Cantigny is going to --expand
into a full length novel which will
write the doom of the kaiser and kai
serism. . ... .
' "We expected it We have seen
those young Americans in London and
merely to glance at them was to know
that they are conquerors and brothers
in that great Anglo-Saxon-Latin com
pact : which will bring down the dia
bolical Prussian idol, with its poisons
nd calculated infamies, to enthrone
hivalroua humanity attain.
"They do aot swagger and they
have no war illusions,. They have
done their first job with swift pre
cision, characteristic of the United
States, and Cantijrny will one day. be
repeated a thousand fold. On that day
the kaiser's crown'will go-to the allied
museum."

UNPRETENTIOUS IDEAS
IDA INGOLD
Spies
I hesitate to say anything about air
planes for fear my. information may
become but-of-date before it goes to,
press. The Liberty Motor has been
the inspiration of the. nation, and. un
til recently was the chief topic of air-'
craft discussion. Now the informa
tion is abroad that the Liberty Motor
is to be used only for tractors. And
that we are to have European-made
enginesfor our battle and scoutinsr
planes. There are several phases of
this information abroad which differ
slightly, and none of them may be au
thentic.
About the only really authentic in
formation we have concerning the air
plane question is that we have spent
n Int. nf mnnpv ovMiiio- roaAv in mnlrfSOffle SOlCliei'S. binCe 1 Wrote tlie aDOVe
airplanes, but, by reason of some mys- paagraph at least eight hundred pass
terious delay, have not produced them ed'tebng a march about the city.'
as yet in any great quantity." Serious
charges have been niade against the
ir,i,.ct Vi.r o ninn jr. nnci'Hnn fr. Vnnvw
tv,Q "PTooiHontv nHmoHMM
And while the public is stewine around'
over what he has supposedly "reveal
ed", it is found that the man, (Borg-
lum) himself, is under suspicion, ihe
President says Bofglunr never was
"official investigator," but that he did
have "facility for inquiry" and he (the
President) would be glad to have his
(Borglum's) report.
The press in various places agree
that our aircraft program has been a
failure so far, and that it is, in' the
public mind, regarded as mysterious
and distressingly unsatisfactory. It is
highly expedient, therefore, that a
most straightforward investigation be
made of the whole affair, and we are
glad the President has turned the
matter over to the department of jus
tice, and that the military committee
will probe it to the bottom.
In Other People's Eyes
There is always the satisfaction of
knowing that we can trust our gov
ernment It is said that the Europeans
know us as a people who are, in- thejthe saml'wayf rv ,':
habit of "setting our own house in Therfe Js' hope foe the' f uture-in, tJie
order oeiore we go minting irouoie
elsewhere,. and .for that"reason
Ues.tau8t us?and' bur enemies fear
us. It is a trait to be proud of, and,
although the man who wants to do
so can find plenty ot material in, sup
port of an argument to the contrary,
we are ready to believe that there is
something in tha European view of us.
And some way we are glad they have
discovered and expressed it just now.
We feel that we can trust our Presi
dent to see to it that a clear under
standing about the airplane trouble is
leached, and we know that he will
hold things to their true purpose, if
any one can, and that he will untivcly
justify our trust in him.
My friend 'lover there" who is a
republican when at home, writes, "I
hope that America stands by Wilson.
I believe in him, and I heartily in
dorse all that he has said. Criticise
him if you will for some of his doings
in private life but he will go down
in history as one of the clearest
headed statesmen that America has
ever produced. He is the man for the
place in these days, and it is Prsi
dent Wilson who will lead the world
from war to a worthy peace. See if
I am not right.; And I nope America
will grit her teeth, and, standing by
him, will fight to the finish."
A few days ago I heard a French
army officer make a most excellent
speech. When he was nearly through
hfl-stopped a moment, and then liter
ally pierced the air with this state
ment: ''Follow your loader! You have
a great and good lender, follow him I"
la response to his imperative com
mand, I thought, "We are following
him." Then came a disturbing
thought, "Wh?t about tho enemy ?lien
within our gates and the enemy sym
pathizer and-the indifferent Ameri
can?" ,
Oar Greatest Problem
Just now I am most concerned about
our enemy, the spy. Very recently the
house of representatives passed the
spy bill, a much needed legislation.
If any think the German spy system
has ceased to operate, they are
mistaken. It is more under cover and
leu arrant, perhaps, but the' more
dangerous for that reason. It Is the
greatest of all our war problems, be
cause unless we deal with it firmly
and in a way which will leave out en
tirely our national trait loniftlcy and
mercy -our whole fr effort will
crumble to ashos, aw we becomo sub

We-sav, "What if Germany should
come over here to fight?" The answer
to that, is, she has come over here
to fight, and she is fighting, us here
under ine cover 01 uie guiae ui xncuu
and heljper. It is just as well that we
say to-the Kaiser, "Now, Wilhclm, you
are-perpetrating some of the foulest
deeds known to history, and we wish
you could see things differently, but,
rather '.'than seem to dictate to any
man or to be harsh with our brother,
we will; let you kill your thousands
in tie way that pleases you most, and
we will trv to look over your mistakes,

with tyflf author of all that carnage in
Europe, which is preposterous, -as to
treat nis agents -over jiere-w yiryuwuy

the situation more successfully, and
we hope to read ot a few. offenders
hfiiiur sent to "orison for twenty
years" or made to pay a "line of ten
thousand dollars," or both. Even that
sounds weak, doesn't it? 1 may be
an unnatural person, but I feel that
those penalties are light for such of
fenses. In my heart 1 believe that
Germany is on her way to demolition,
and all her agents must also be. 1 be
lieve the earlier they get -there the
better for the rest of the world.
A new Germany may rise f ruin the
old ashes, but it must be born of blood,
and defeat, and broken hearts. A new
Germany boi'n after those things can
live and be respected, for she will have
a soul. But the Germany of the pres
ent must die or God is not on His
throne.
A Poor Rule
Little need there be for sending our
men over there to light a world men
ace which we let flourish hare at home.
We think of spies much as we think
of any calamity they miy exist some
where but not nca at hand. The spies
take advantage of our attitude and do
their worst at our elbows. At this
time we have a right to suspect stran
gers of any sort. America, so long
accufitomed- to an open door, must
learn to close up and be suspicious of
every strange character.
Of course we wish to do by others
as we wish to be done by ourselves.
That doctrine has permeated our life
it is our strength, but, it will not work
with Germany until she is fullcn. On
tile other hand the Germans have ab
solutely no conception of this wonder
ful rule. Thiir bauds arc dripping
with the blood of nurses, Rod Cross
workers, doctors, women, and little
children; but when a few bombs are
dropped on a few German towns, they
xal.ie a mighty howl for an agreement
with the Allies to stop the raids. They
do not like, their own methods. For
over three years the women and
childrrn of P rance and England have
been murdered by German airmen, but
as soon as the Germans are touched
thoy demand -that the raids be stopp
ed.' Who can remember one single
protest from them agalnsttha brutali
ty of sir raids as Ung a tho French
and the l,.gtlnh were tho sufferers?

FARMERS AT ASHEBORO
AGRICULTURAL RALLY A SUC
CESS MANY BOYS PRESENT
The Agricultural Club Rally and
mee'jng of the farmen held in Al.e
boro Saturday June 1st was a great
success. The boys, however, made a
better response than the men of the
county. About half of the boys en
rolled in the club work in the county
were present The county agent is
of the opinion that at least ninety per
cent of his pig club members were in
Asheboro Saturday.
At eleven o'clock Mr. Hugh Parks,
Jr., called the Farm Bureau meeting to
order. After a few remarks he intro
duced Mr. C. R. Hudson, State Farm
Demonstration Agent. Mr.' Hudson
explained the duty of the Farm Bu
reau and how it should co-operate with
the county agent for the advancement
or agriculture in the county. After
Mr. Hudson's talk Mr. Coltrane then
introduced Mr. B. S. Bennett, a rep
resentative of the American Berkshire
Association. Mr. Bennett made a
strong pica for better hogs and also
more hogs. After traveling with the
county agent for two days he had
found that the hogs, of Randolph
county were very poor. He attributed
this condition to the fr.ct that the
hogs are very poorly cared for and
that the breeding is very poorly man
aged. Mr. Bennett says that we need
to get in better foundation stock and
then push it along so as to make real
first class hogs ofjheni. After Mr.
Bennett's talk Mr. McLean of Aber
deen, District Demonstration Agent,
made a few remarks as to the work
of the Farm Bureau and how they
could render assistance to the County
Agent, and howthey should get help
from him. The County Agent, Mr.
Coltrane then told of some of the
thinsrs which he is doing and what he
expected to do. He aiso mentioned
the fact that the county commission
ers had bought a quantity of soy beans
and were letting the farmers havethem
at cost. That they expected to buy a
quantity of peas at cost and let the
farmers have them. He, also empha-
air.oA thn -fart. tVini-. wiienitho farmers
wanted such thines that they shouldl
let him "know some time before they
wanted them so that he might keep his
orders in so that the supply would not

For they'll supply what urbans buy,
And make our pockets swell.
(Pig Club)
Our pigs will grow into big hogs
On pastures where they roam;
