There is now a general turning to Kdison for some way to smite the sneaking submarine. There is surely a way lurking in the recesses of science and it must be found out. When it is, the war will qnd; and a most virulent enemy of the human race will close its career, too. There must be some way of attacking the u-boats's machinery or torpedo appa ratus. It is surely within the reach of the wireless or some other form of electrical force. A young man in Pittsburg claims to have found a way to blast the torpedo as soon as it is shot off. The government is inspec ting it, so reported, but then govern ment inspection is as slow as molass es in January. That shouldn't be. In ventive genius is now, at the head of the forces that are to end this war. ! (Jive it the right way. Congress isn't a pinch compared with a laboratory in crushing Hohenzollernism.

ONE OF THE STATES IN GREAT EUROPEAN XV AH Philatheas Meet Sections A and B of Presbyterian Philathea class held their monthly business and social meeting at the residence of Mrs. A. K. Joy on Tuesday. Mrs. Joy and Miss Ruby Satterheld were the hostesses on this occasion. The meeting was well at tended, there being 20 members and four guests present. The latter were Mrs. J. J. Willard, Mrs. Lawrence, Mrs. Munroe and Miss Annie Dow num. We were very glad to have these ladies with us. The regular business routine was followed. Special business was the election of the delegates to the Baraca-Philathea convention in Ash eville in May. It was also decided to assist in the support of a domes tic science teacher at Mrs. King's school in the mountains and to aid the school for indian boys in Okla homa During the social hour we were en tertained by an amusing recitation by Mrs. T.

We always have delightful meetings at the hos pitable home of Mrs. Joy. MRS. T. R. WALSH, Reporter.. REVIVAL IN PROGRESS The meeting which began Monday night at West Hickory Baptist church is growing in interest each day. Bro. G. P. Abernethy arrived Monday and has been preaching to large crowds each night. The subject Monday night was: "We would see Jesus." John 12:21. The message was inspiring and help ful. Bro. Abernethy said in part We would see Jvsus because of what He was and is. Because of His humanity. Because of His de lty. Because of His life. Because of His death." Then went on to show how we may see Jesus. "By obedience. By knowing His life. By prayer. By magnifying Him." Tuesday evening the message was taken from the 116th Psalm, and was an earnest appeal for better and higher things. Every one present at this meeting went away feeling that he was helped and strengthened. fiuesaay mgnt tne message was taken from Acts 2:47, "And the Lord added adily to the church such as were saed' l.Bro. Abernethy with much feeling showed how addi tions should come to the church, and who should be added. 'He said they should be added and not hung on. Too many are merely hung on said the speaker and are worthless so tar as the Kinkdom is concerned. Wednesday evening was a great service. The message was taken from Acts 3:6. "Silver and gold have I none but such as. I have give I un to thee; in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk." Said the speaker: It is not silver and gold that we need but the things that make us rise up and walk. Peter had just what the poor beggar need ed. Not silver nor gold, but the Grace of God. Too many are after silver and gold and forgetting God said the speaker. Wednesday night ca emehttesb "Wednesday night came the best meeting of all. The discourse was taken from Heb. 11:25. "Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the deasures of sin for a season." The subject was the choice of Moses Moses could have reamnied the son of the king's daughter and lived in pleas ure, having position, money, and al things that go to please the eye and not the soul. Moses made a person al choice said the speaker. All mus make a personal choice. Wie urge you to come to these meet mgs. IBro. Abernethy is a conse crated man of God and his messages will help you and give you mspira tion to higher and better things. L. P. SMITH (By the Associated Press) Chicago, April 12 Possession cf a source of wheat supply, capable l feeding the entire world, is one of the stakes at issue in the fighting i.i Mesopotamia and on the adjoining fronts, asserts Professor John Adam3 Scott, of the Northwestern Univer sity, Chicago, who is an international authority on the Oriental countries. In describing the commercial anu military possibilities in the country beyond Bagdad, Prof. Scott said. "There is no doubt that the Eng lish are now trying to close the door by which any new troops can reach Mesopotamia. It is computed that ancient Babylonia and the territory under its control covered only about one-fifth of Mesopotamia, yet the soil was so fertile and free from de fects . which produce famine that it supported in wealth a population greater than the state of New York now possesses. When Darius was defeated by Alexander, there was found in the vaults of Darius gold and silver to the value of $650,000,000. "If all of Mesopotamia can come under the control of one great na tion so that there can be a compre hensive and unified development of reserviors and irrigation, it is safe to say that it will be the richest land on earth, since no otherland has soil made in alluvial deposits and which contains fiften per cent of lime. It is this lime beyond all else which makes this country so valuable, and which makes rust, mildew, and cindred evils impossible. Two har vests can be gardened each year, one from rain and one from irrigation. he one from rain is the only harvesv now. "The movement from Egypt is in tended to shut off all access from Eu rope by land, since the Russians are now in control of Armenia and the overland pass, so that the Turks are forced to send troops through the Is sus pass, or by the Alexandretta gulf. This is the route of the Bag dad railroad. Asia Minor has a double series of most difficult moun tain ranges. Taurus and Anti-Taurus, so that armies must skirt them to the north or to the south. Russia now closes the route to the north so that f England can close the one to the south, she will be as secure as Meso potamia as she is in South Africa since there is no avenue by which an army could come. The great diffi culty in coming in or out of Egypt has been the intense heat of the desert south and west of Gaza, but the pa pers speak of a railroad having been built across this desert. This des ert is cool at night, so that trains need run through it only by night, since the distance is not great. The English already have a naval base at Cyprus, so that they control the sea and can thus assist the army moving by land. 'The English are about 400 miles from their goal and must cross the high mountains of Lebanon or swing to the east where a rail road has already been built through Damascus. If they swing to the east they will withdraw from the protec tion of the fleet. They may have so completely demoralized the Turks that this protection is not necessary. "This sems to be the board on which the game of the war is beingplayed. Already Germany is helpless m Ar menia and Mesopotamia and if Ji.ng- ish forces can e:et Aleppo then the cower and influence of England will hav been doubled by this war and immense resources of Egypt and the pnt.irft vallev of the Euphrates and Tierris will fall into her lap. This will mean a railroad from Capetown to Bombav and a future for the world which has never entered into the mind of the most enthusiastic dream er." Incidentally, it is pointed out that the British forces in their north ward march through Palestine to ward the ancient pass of Issus must cross the supposed field of the battle of Armageddon. iMr. B.

The government, since 1916, has coined and issued 10,603,000 marks worth of silver 50 pfenning pieces, most of which have disappeared from sight almost as fast as put out. In addition it has put out 116,000,000 10-pfenning pieces and about as many 5-pfenning pieces made of iron, and even these are disappearing. Busin ess firms are known to have in some cases as much as 70,000 marks worth of iron money. The situation is to be relieved, it is reported, by a huge issue of "bons" for 50 pfennings apiece, which will be put out by individual municipali ties and taken up after the war. The shortage of small money, and its retirement from circulation and into countless stockings, has been under- way for more than two years. It began originally in the occupied portions of France, then spread to sim ilar districts in Russia. Its first re sult was the issue of municipal pa per money all over Northern France, and the issue of military orders for bidding the natives to accept either French or German money but to ac cept only town "bons."
