Delay in the entrance of the vast majority of ex ptcted candidacies this year moves the secretary of the board of elections to warn prospective runners that they have only six days in which to hie their intentions. Saturday, April 20, will be the last day on which a candidate for office that is as large as a senatorial dis trict and upward, can enter. And if he does not enter the primary he cannot go before the people. The list of entrants thus far is very small relatively. There are six can didates for nominations on the Su preme court bench; two for the United States senate; and about four asp-rants for congress in the eighth district; but neither the Republicans nor the Democ'itic judicial candi dates have sent in their fees, neither candidate for the senate, John Mot by Morehead and Senator F .M. Simmons, has come over with his an r ( uncement and the few days re maining moves the state board of el ections to send out the warning. Tno Republican platform plat.k for the repeal of the primary law, one act that the party had demanded pretty vocatively in 1914. finds par tial explanation in the cost of en trance. A man who is to be sacri ficed purely to cohere the party, must put up his money just the same. For the glorious uncertainty of politics there must be a cash consideration. A little thing like that does not wor ry'John Morehead or J. J. Jenkins, but in the seven or nine dead suro Democratic districts it is hard luck on Republicans who must pay if they run. Quite a few candidates are in for all the tardin.'ss of entrance. The men, who are being mlost opposed are Supreme court judges. Judge T. II. Calvert of the seventh, Wake and Franklin, has four opponents and Solicitor . E. Norris, of the same 'istrict, has one man to beat as solicitor, Representative S. A. Newell of Louisburg. In the 13th which has .Tydge W. J. Adams, one of the finest on the bench, John T. Bennett, of Rockingham, is out and in the 18th, Judge Mike Justice is having to put down Welch Galloway, of Brevad. Judge Frank Carter, :n the l!)th; Judge E. B. Cline, in the 17th; and Judge G. S. Ferguson, in the20th, are but 'this year and the candidates are thick. Nearly all have tossed their coin into the hat here and are ready. Three candidates are after the so licitorship in the 18th. They are Mike Schenck, incumbent; Dred D. ) Ilamrick, Ruthevfrdton; rnd Geo. M. Fritchard, Marshall, the latter two Republicans. Johnson J. Hayes, incumbent, in the 17th, is the solitary Republican solicitor and thus far he has no opposition. JAPAN WOULD SIOP iNE By the Associated Press. A Pacific Port, April 15.' Vis count Ishii, Japanese ambassador to the United States, succeeding An. bassador Sato, arrived here today en route for Washington. IDiscussing Jajtanese intervention in Siberia, Viscount Ishdi said that if the Japanese government decid ed to send a force into Siberia, such would be for the advantage of the allies and not Japan. "Germany may establish bases in Pacific waters by a successful drive through Siberia," he said. "In this event," he continued, 'it would be up to Japan to sweep them away. Wte cannot guarantee that Japan could do this, but we would do our best, and we must not relax our I vigilance porarily penetrated the British po sitions but were driven out by counter attacks.

Mrs. Mary Grainger, wife of an army officer in France, with whom the doctor is alleged to have legisiertcl at a hotel, was not in court. She was said to be at the home of Mrs. Thomas. Mrs. Thomas' interest in young Mrs. Graingei- she is 24 while the professor is 65 showed no signs of abatement today. , Years ago she had accepted her husbaiuVs advanced theories of re lations between men and women the "wider view" as many intelleet urals tevm it, and she is now moth ering both the girl and her husband.

PACE ISSUES WARNING TO EATING HOUSES Raleigh, April 15 The hotel and restaurant men. of North Carolina who have not been observing the conservation program of the food administration will be required to wrlk a chalk line from now on. A number of North Carolina ho tel men, with several hundred other important hotel men of the country,' have pledged themselves to banish wheat products from their bills of fare until the next harvest. The food administration does not think that it is fair to the hotels and res taurants that are cooperating:, to the households that are cooperating, and least of all fair to our soldiers and the solars of our allies in Europe, to allow any unpartriotic, self-inter ested, establishments to disregard the wheat saving problem. State Food Administrator Henry A. Page has addressed a frank, vigorous let ter to the hotels and restaurants in the state which is designed to secure their immediate and rigid observance of the entire conservation program. The organized and independent traveling men of the state are co operating with the food administra tion in this matter and it will be a lucky hotel or restaurant that disre gards tj?e food administration's or ders or rulings and gets away with it. ONLY HOOPER LEFT OE FAMOUS OUTFIELD By the Associataed Press. Boston, April 15.

WHO WRITE WELL The results of the Palmer writing system, under the supervision of Miss Velma Martin, are beginning to shew very favorably in the two grammar schools. Some time ago, Miss Martin sent off her first batch of drills, and about half of the pu pils were successful in securing the button which the Palmer Company awards for satisfactory progress. Last week she sent off fourteen sets of drills, and every one of the chil dren was successful in secuing the coveted award. She will send an other and larger number of drills each week from now until commence ment, and it is confidently expect ed that she will have quite a large number of star pupils (button pupils as Palmer calls them) to show for her year's work. "Writing has been for years one of the neglected subjects of the public school curriculum, and it is a pleas ure for Hickory to know that it has been successfully revived here this year, and that the pupils, after only one year of the new method, give promise of becoming splendid pen men ever before reaching the high school. Those securing the buttons last week are: South School Seventh igi'ade Wlillis Pollard'. S xth grade Nancy Hall, Albert Odom, Mary Philips, Hayden Can North School Seventh grade Pink Huggins, Eli beth Moose, Nina Fry. iSixth grade Louise Cline, Kath erine Brewer, Thelma Flowers.

GLEE CLUB PLEASES CKORY AUDIENCE The Wake Forest Glee Club and Orchestra came, played and conquer ed Saturday night and conqured an audience that was perfectly willing to be conquered at that . The Academy of Music was filled with music lovers and the ake Forest boys gave them all they asked for all except young Mills, who responded three times to encores, and then drew a big laugh by his get-away. The program was one of lively airs for the most part, including stirring patriotic music. Voice and instru mental numbers were good, reflecting due credit on Dr. Hubert M. Pote'at, the director. During the com-se of the entertain ment Rev. W. R. Bradshaw made a splendid talk and he was followed by Col. Harley B. Ferguson, commander of a regiment of engineers at Camp Sevier. Colonel Ferguson talked with a soldier's directness and frank ness. He gave a rapid glimpse of camp life and told the "audience what it meant to go over there. It could , not be possible, he thought, that any Americans wno stayed at nome would find it hard to help furnish the men who fight the battles. The army is all right, he said, and the home population should be as loyal as the fighters. BIG FROST SUNDAY, The worst frost in several weeks cccurrd Saturday night and early ' Sunday morning the ground was, thick with a white coat. In low places the frost nipped potatoes and ; fruit, but in high places the damage ' must have been small. Examination of fruit trees yesterday proved sat isfying to a number of men who know when damage has been done, and it is believed that there will yet be a pretty fair fruit crop. j NEW YORK COTTON I By the Associated Press. New York, April 15 The cotton market showed continued excite ment and feverishness early today. The opening was firm at an advance of 3 to 28 points, which was prompt ed by bullish and spot advices. July and October shortly after the call sold up 36 to 45 points net higher, but the advance met heavy southern selling. This seemed to create au impression that hedges were being sold against spot cotton and the mar ket soon weakened under a renewal of general liquidation. ; The close was steady.

Paris Satur- j the largest number, its quota being by night was subjected to its iir&t ' 8,047. Pennsylvania is next with 3. noctnrnal bombardment since the S 776, New York 3rd with 5,542. Michi- long-range shelling began, the bom - bardment being resumed late in the night. Yesterday's bombardment did not cause any casualties. Sunday's bombardment was opened shortly after 3 o'clock. The beginning of nocturnal bom bardments is attributed to the fact that the Germans now know that the French have located exactly the long-range gun, so- that there is no longer fc'iny necessity of refraining from night-time firing lest the flare of the explosion should betray the gun's position. Reports up to mid-afternoon still fail to show any cvasualties resulting from the first night's bombardment, while the material damage was insig nificant.

Waslvingrtont, April ,151 "The turning point in the battle on the west front is being reached," says the war department's review of the military situation for the week end ing April 13, issued today. "The Germans have failed in their purpose to achieve victory in tne field and will soon be forced to re sume their old tactics," the state- OR at m s i Py ths Associated Press. The British line on the Lys front : near the Fi an:o-Belgian border is I ihoklir.fc- well agafnst the terrific ; drive which the Germans are con i linuing to del'ver. i All around the sveemn- semi-cir- elle created by the enemy attacks to the southwest of the Messines ridge positions, he was fought to a stand still yesterday and Hist night and in ' some localities the British posi tions were improved by counter strokes. At only cne point did the defense give way in the least. This was at Neuve Eglise, on the extreme lower edge of the spur, where the British have abandoned the village. The probalities seem to be that the German tenure of even this small bit of ground will be a short one. The village has changed hands repeated ly during the last four days, and the British once lLjfore were in posses sion of it. Tb's morning they were back at the Germans here and were report ed to be giving them a hard pound-V-K- Large results hinge on the battle further in the salient and in Merviile where the Germans have effected their furthest westward penetration. They are pushing here for Hazen broukt, occupation of which would cut off important railway communi cab'ons of the British, The Germans displayed apprecia tion of this by attacking no less than seven times in the Marville region, fiv3 waves being hurled against the British at one time. This was the only attack that bent the British lines in the slight est and the position here was speedily restored by a counter attack. The Germans similarly have been failed in their""efTorts to push in fur ther in th Bailleul region and this important town is still in British hands. Far to the southwest on the Lsy front they have failed likewise in prisoners and some machine guns LWJU By the Associated Press. Amsterdam, April 15.

"While it i.iust be admitted that German operations since the begin ninf cf the present offensive have resulted in more than a mere plowing up of the allied trench system and th.:: capture of local objectives along a w"de front, nevertheless the aim cf -the German higher command to obtain a decish e victory lias not been obtained. "The turning point in is being reached. The neve scored a ' distinct the west Germans advantage which it would not be unwise to en deavor to belittle.
