lAthens, Sept. 22. American agri
cultural machinery is to be used on
a hujre scale to develop the rich ag
ricultural resources of Macedonia and
Thos;?aly, which have lain for ages
in an undeveloped state. One of
the largest orders ever riven by
Greece has just been placed (with
United States concerns, and the firsi,
shipment of 200 farm tractors, 1,500
auto-rakes, and a whole shipload ot
other larjre implements left New
York on the first of the Greek liners
to sail since the entente blockade was
raised.
A company with $8,000,000 capital,
has just been founded to carry on this
development of Macedonia and Thes
faly. Jt is chiefly Greek money,
with some French and American. But
part of the plan called for utilix-ir.''
modern American methods, by which
farming is conducted in the western
states on a hujre scale. The ancient
methods of ploughing: and harvesting
still prevail in Thealy and lowt
Greece, and this will be the first time
that the bijr steam farm tractor
have been operated here on a large
scale. Even the primitive wooden
plouu'ti is used by many peasants but
at Volo, in Thessaly, iron and steel
ploughs have been turned out foi
some time past.
This development of the Balkan
graneries on a large scale is one
of the necessities forced on Europe
by the war. IA11 of the countries
have suddenly realized that they
could not feel themselves in the
pinch of war. Greece alone has
bought about $15,000,000 wlorth oi
grain every year from the United
States, Russia and Bulgaria. With
these countries cut off by submarines
and war conditions, Greece is now
trying to got wdieat from India. The
other Balkan states are in the same
condition. They have lots of idle
land but are feeding themselves
from America and beyond seas.
The foundation of this new com
pany has resulted from this determ,
nation, encouraged by the govern
ment, to develop the fertile Balkan
region so that Greece and the other
Balkan countries may hope to be self
supporting and even contribute to the
grain supply of the rest of Europe.
Macedonia virtually is a virgin soil,
very rich, and capable of large crops.
The' Macedonian tobacco already com
mands high prices in the world's mar
kets. It trebled in value the last
yepr.
Thessaly is the region where the
French high commissioner, M. Jon
naxt, introduced intensive farming
the past summer in order to meet the
pressing neds of Greece. Jt is one
of the best wheat regions, and even
with primitive methods it produced
last year .r.000,000 buheh of wheal,
oats, barley and rye, 10,000 pounds
of tobacio, and much cotton and rice.
With the large consignments o.
American machinery now on the way,
and abundant capital available, it is
expected that these products of Mac
edonia and Thessaly will be enov
mously increased, and that the hope
will be at last realized of rnaVng
it one of the great granerits of
eastern Europe.
With Mrs. Abernethy
Yesterday afternoon there was a
called meeting of the Pleiades Book
Club with the president, Mrs. C. E.
Abernethy. Books for the following

dividends. 3Io urged cooperation of
the good women in seeing that all
children are in school. iOne forms
habits in childhood, and children
should be taught to be punctual and
regular. If democracy ever goes to
pieces, he said, it will break on the
rock of disobedience to constituted
authority, and the child should bo
taught to respect the authority in the
home and school, a point that Judge
Pritchard emphasized here several
months ago. The teacher has the
same relation in the school to the
children that the parent has in the
home, and both should cooperate for
the benefit of the child. Insubordina
tion is to be discouraged with all the
power of one's heart, becau.se it
breeds anarchy and 99 times out of
100 an obedient child becomes a ?ood
citizen. 1 '
The audience applauded Dr. Joyner

Washington, Sept. 22 Chairman

committee declared today that after
consulting with Secretary Lansing
he thought there probably would be
a house investigation of Count von
Bernstorff's plans to influence con
gress by spending $50,000 as reveal
ed in dispatches to Berlin.
Secretary Lansing sees little that
a congressional inquiry could devel
op, but charges made on the boor
yesterday by Representative Hefiin
of Alabama that certain members
have acted suspiciously and veiled ac
cusations made by other representa
tives in interviews probably will force
an investigation.

pany was unaware that a concrete

cers were uncertain as to what
changes might be necessary in the
event a big dam were built there.
Commissioner Stroup sa'id today
that the commissioners told Mr. Lee
that they would be perfectly willing
for the Southern Power Company to
make alterations in the plans of the
bridge, but the additional cost should
be borne by the company. It was
reported that Mr. Lee wanted the
bridge 10 feet higher than the con
tract calls for, but Mr. Stroup said
nothing was said about this. The
power development plans have not
been worked out, but the company
wants to be sure that the bridge will
not interfere with them.
Nothing has been said as to

AS CAUSE OF DEATH
If you want the name of the dis
eases from which you die stated on
your death-certificate you had better
not die of indigestion. Indigestion can
make you as sick as most any disease
and finally kill you but it is not a
good disease to die from because n
is not recognized by the federal cen
sus bureau as a cause of death.-This
is just one of the props knocked from
under that popular malady, indiges
tion, which has no rival but catarrh
in a new bulletin prepared and pub
lished bv the state board of health
for free distribution. Its title is "In-
rigestion its cause, prevention and
treatment."
"Next to the word catarrh,"says the
bulletin, "indigestion is about the
most overworked word in the English
language. It is one of those mean
ingless terms that cover about a
thousand pathologic conditions, ranj,
ing for 'gallstones' to 'kinking of
the food canal.' Indigestion, to-o-nfVio-r
wiVi ita two brothers in ini
quity stomach trouble and dyspep
sia might be termed triplets oi sor
row."
In telline: what indigestion is and
is not, the' bulletin says: ""Il.e trag
edy with so many people is that after
a few years of over-eating and ir
regular sleeping, intemperance, over
work, worry, decayed teeth, and oth
er conditions, nature begins to fail
- rvor-Fnrm its Tl atural functions.
There ensues a period best described
i mi
as 'digestive disturoance.' .ine pa-tio-nt
Vm nnin in the abdomen, some
times before eating, somethimes af
ter, sometimes all the time.
Ac n tVie treatment of the disease.
the bulletin advises that the cause be
located first. This is done by hav
ing a thorough physical examination
made by a capable and careful physi
cian. Some of the things a careful
physician will do will be to take
from one half to one hour for the examination,-
get the patient's family
history, know what kind of medicine
he's been taking ar.d for how long,
find his correct bleed pressure, make
chemical analysis of urine, examine
his teeth and throat as well as look
at his tongue, and last, write a list of
articles of food the patient may eat,
also a list he must not eat. "The
best physicians in North Carolina to
day are giving their patients two diet
i;et ...nnp nf what thev should eat;
and one of what they should not eat."
PRICE TWO CENTS
GIVEN TO POPE
Py the Associated Press.
The full text of Germany's ans
wer to Poe Benedict's peace note
shows Germany making a special ef
fort to bring about peace and ex
pressing special sympathy with that
part of the pope's proposal which as
serts that "the material power ot
arms must be superseded by the mor
al power of right."
Stress is laid upon the claim that
Emperor William all through his
reign has been animated by a pacific
policy and that he did everything in
his power to prevent the war.
I The papal solution for the elimina
tion of armament is sympathetically
! alluded to and it is stated in this re
jspect that the German government
will support every proposal to this
end not to the disadvantage of the
German people.
j It is pointed out particularly that
j representatives of the German people
"were taken into conference by the
j government in preparing the reply to
j the papal note.
! .Nothing approaching a definite
I statement of war terms is contained
in the reply.
; In the field of hostilities the British
campaign in Flanders alone continues
!to absorb the attention of the world.
Today's report shows General. Haig
to be holding fast to all the ground
he gained in the great attack of
Thursday in the face of the most
intense German counter-attacks. The
Germans heavily increased their at
tacks, but were repelled.
The only point at which the Teu
tonic thrust was even temporarily
successful was east of St. Julien and
here the Germans were driven back
after a contest.
Three counter-attacks in all were
delivered last evening by the Germans.
Apparently they have become ex
hausted by the failure of the first
two attacks for the third attack east
jof Langemarck was repulsed by the
j artillery, the British infantry not
being used.
iNew energy seemed imparted to
the Germans during the night, prob
ably by the bringing up of heavy
.forces, for heavy fighting was re-
ported in the vicinity of Tower Ham
I lets, where the most bitter fighting
ids in progress. The British left held
fast under this attack, but there was
juncertinty in the early advices as to
the situation of the right in this sec
tor. Another phase of the entente cam
ipaign in the German held Belgian
j territory developed today in a Brit
j ish naval attack on Ostend. This
port wras bombarded today by the
ilvessels of the J3elgian patrol and
heavy damage was inflicted.
In the course of the engagement
three German seaplanes were brought
down.
The situation on the Russian nor
thern front again calls for attention
with the announcement from Petro
grad that the Russians on the Riga
Dvinsk front have retired to the north
of the Dvina. This may means sim
ply a rectification of the Russian line,
for improved security in the event of
renewed German attajks.
