ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORTS TUESDAY. AUG. 7, 917 FA KM EUS ALL RIGHT Dr. II. C. Alexander, president oi the State Farmers' Union, has issu ed an interview in which he says that he did not criticise the draft act, that he did not say it was uncon stitutional to send American troops to France and that he did not urie young men to resist and therefore place themselves in position to face n charge of treason and the possi bility of death. The doctor was rather slow about correcting the alleged false reports of his Salisbury speech, but the public should b? willing to give him the benefit of any doubts. Any one who hail criticised such unpatriotic utterances, this paper is glad to set him straight. About the same time Dr. Alexan der was denying the accusation, Dr. Clarence Toe, editor of the Tro gressive Farmer, was coming out in a strong and unequivocal . endorse ment of the administration and pleading for loyalty, at the same time declaring that the farmen of North Carolina aro loyal. Dr. Toe has taken a strong American posi tion from the start, and ho has done much to make the farmers realize the justice of the American cause. We have never doubted the loy alty of the farmers. We see numbrs of them every day and they are ns patriotic as any men who live. Some of them may be fooled as some town men may be, but the bulk of them is as sound as a dol lar. Of finance most newspaper men know little enough, but they do know that if one spends all the time he will be in a bad way sooner or la ter. This is the case with th? war. ring nations. Those of the entente group, including the United States have arranged to pay for their part of the war by taxation as far as possible, but the other group, of which Germany is at the head, made their calculations on the assumption that the other crowd would be forc ed to foot the bills. One can read ily see what the finances of the cei tral powers will come to if they do not win the war. And they won't win it. The Canadians will establish art aviation camp in Texas ( and the New England senators aro expected to protest because the Canadian cli mate is about like that of northern France. A Mischievous Peace Movement Springfield Republican. jM,vf Vio nrp-anization calling itself rather too ambitiously the "peo ple's council of America" means wen in its peace tnons auivei no. anothef page, but if th? movement had any weight it would do narm. Its appeal is to people sun living m a world of catchwtords, but! three years of war have in some measure the realities that lie behind ab stract phrases. These paciusts UI'IIICIIIW i ill iiiv ' based on the Russian formula, no forcible annexations, no punitive in demnities, free development for all nationalities." They have apparent ly riot the least notion that this is what the war is about and that the way to get these things they de sire is to win the war. rmim TYmvvmon:h of this kind, great or small, is vigilantly observ ed and reported to the lierman gen eral stafT, which would giaaiy sup ply thiol $5(J,10O propaganda fundi iVh tVin "neonle's council" asks, or many times that sum for a movement calculated to weaken the force of America in the war, and to increase bv so much Germany's hopes of "holding out," which means not letting go of its booty. The war aims of the allies are now nvnTfir XT oil Vnniwn. nnd are to be reformulated soon to meet new con ditions, there has never been any mvotsrv Meanwhile Germany stub bornly refuses to state its aims, holds on to Belgium, ami declines to t n1 ivc Hcf.1i" tr flpstore indemnity it or to abandon the occupied French territories. If the peoples council nnn Inrhifo the lcaisplr. Chancellor and Gon. Hindenburg to adopt its excellent paper program the movement for peace will make rapid progress; peace propaganda in countries already pacific only strengthen the hands of the war lords. Germany considers it self the victor and entitled to vie tnr'a forms; so lone: as that is the case it will hold on to its plunder - .. a . . M S1 while plotting lor a uerman peace. The one sure way to get a peace which is not a disaster is by stand ing firmly together and getting on with the war. The sooner the war lords realize that this country is in rvrim p-impst; the sooner will they come round to the program which the "people's council" desires. "You must pay for jeace" say in solicit ing funds. ;More tnan tnac ,we must in Grants' phrase conquer a ronir TVip nhstflflp to the SOl't of peace desired lies not here but in Berlin. 1 PARIS FOOD CONSUMPTION Ry the Associated Tress. Paris, Aug. 7. Paris apparently is consuming more food products and using more raw materials than last year. The city tax upon all such articles brought into the city amounted to 3,600,000 francs more during the ffi'st half of the year than during the same period of 1916. 3 fS a m s m 3 3J at u ms h u m m m m m mmm mm A Falsehood Truthfully Told m is the theme of "THE BEAUTIFUL LIE" i a Oi P D a a n a A 5-Act Metro Wonderplay built on an Ella Wheeler Wilcox Poem, With FRANCES NELSON AS THE STAR At The Pastime Wednesday Aug. 9. tiiii!i;iiiiii;iriiii mm'iimmnn.im a Professional Cards 1 A Billion Dollar Insurance Fun sat r. -- - g Special Pastime Today "THEJBL ACK WOLF' 1 Featuring Lou Tellegen.

The News and Observer's Wash intftcmj correspondent . writes that there is a belief in Washington thai Claude Kitchin will run for the sen. ate against Chairman Simmons and he will get there too like "Brother Bill." i ; According to the liberal newspa pers in Germany, the changes in the ministry mean simply that the bure ncrats desire to strengthen their hold. A gentleman who has just return ed from New York said he saw about 21 large ships tied up in the river because they were unable to obtain cargoes. These vessels were the property of those neutral nations which have been supplying Germany. Catawba county people are taking the draft in the same spirit as they took the registration. Everybody U philosophical and nobody is complaining. Nature ha9 been good to this sec. tion, and the best crops that ever flourished are reported from every where. They will bo needed. "Conapiraey, Not A Strike" Philadelphia Record. Either through ignorance, or anarchistic notions, or -as is confi dently affi'rmed by somc-Hf,hrough the procurane.3 of German interests, a large number of foreigners have been moving from place to place in the far west interfering with pro duction.
