(By wireless to tho Associated Press from a staff cor respondent) The Associated Press learns that developments are impend ing which demonstrate unmistakably the desire of Emperor William to fol low a course which will land Germany and the United States out of the pres ent crisis. The situation is viewed more optimistically here, V i Ambassador Gerard is still main taining silence, following his latest conference with Chancellor von Beth-mann-Hollweg but the Associated Press has been able to obtain infor mation from other sources indicating that the outlook has improved. Optimism prevails in Berlin that the situation ; between the United States and Germany arising from the American Government's demand that Germany cease her present methods of submarine warfare will be satisfac torily settled. Emperor William is said to desire the carrying out of plans which will lend the two coun tries safely past the- present crisis. The indications in Berlin are t hat Germanys reply to the American note may not be delivered until next week. SEVERAL DETACHMENTS OF AMERICAN TROOPS RESUME . PURSUIT OF BANDIT VILLA Columbus, N. M., April 26. Soveral detachments of American tronns have resumed active pUrsuiQf Villa and are whipping the mountains north and west of Parral, where the bandit chieftain is reported to be hiding. The advanced base 300 miles south of the border is now completely equip ped, train after train of motor trucks having arrived here within the last ten days bringing rations, clothing and equipment. t Engagement Reported. El Paso. Texas. April 26. A report was received here today that Colonel Dodd'S advanced cavalry detachment had an engagement several days ago in which both sides suffered losses. It was not indicated whether the battle was with Villa bands or with Carran za troops. The information regarding the bat tle came in a private despatch, but gave 'nc- information , .where v the v eni, gagement took place. Advanced de tachments of Colonel Dodd's cavalry recently have been operating in a lim ited zone just north of Satevo scour ing the country for Villa bands. Officials of the de facto government were optimistic today in the belief that the mission of General Obregon to this city or Juarez ,to confer with General Scott and General Funston will result in a satisfactory plan where by peaceful conditions may be maintained along the border. Pending the conference the bases and lines and communications of the American army in Mexico are being strengthened for any eventuality. WOULD HAVE FEDERAL AID FOR STATE PROHIBITION.

Killian Preach esRev, Green at Lebanon Demo crats Need Perfect Harmony This Year. Iron Station, N. C, April 24. Cotton planting is now the order of the day and the farmers would like to see a good rain. Charlie the 12 year old son of Mr. C. T. Hoke had the misfortune to fall from a bicycle one day last week badly wounding his right arm. The boy was taken to Lincoln Hospital for , treatment but owing to the swollen condition of his arm the doctor could not make a thorough examination. He will be ta ken back to the hospital in a few days for f urthef examination Al fred, son of Mr. H. H. Ballard who about two months ago got his lag bro ken at a saw mill and was just be ginning to walk without crutches was so unfortunate as to step into a hole rebreaking his leg. A physician reset the bone and advised him that he would have to remain quiet six weeks longer. This unfortunate young man certainly deserves the sympathy of all our people. Rev. W. L. C. Killian of Gastonia filled Rev. Jim Green's appointment at Lebanon the third Sun day in this month. Rev. Killian was reared in our community, beloved by all our people and they were glad of the opportunity of again hearing him preach. His sermon was based on "Faith" with particular stress being laid on the truth that christians will not place themselves in position so that God can use them to His glory. We have heard many sermons from the same subject but never heard it handled with more force and simpli city. Oscar Lowe held religious services at Lebanon last Sunday morning. Al pha predicts that here is another com ing preacher. Rev. Jim Green will preach at Le banon next Sunday at eleven o'clock, it being the 5th Sunday in April. The friends of Hon. W. A. Graham will be pleased to learn thafc- he is again in the race for Secretary of Ag- ricuiture.

RURAL CREDITS BILL IN SENATE President Insists This Bill Should Pass At This Session of Congress Outline of Plan. Washington April 24. The Senate has gono to work on the rural cred its bill, a piece of legislation which President Wilson insists should be adopted by this session of Congress. There is little doubt but that the measure will be passed by the Senate within; a short time, now that work nas oegun. The following is an outline of the plan embodied in the bill introduced by Senator Hollis of New Hamp- Bnire: "Loans are made to farmers by 12 or more Federal land banks, each operating in a separate district and having a capital of not less than $500,000. If the full amount is not subscribed from private sources, the Government subscribes for as much as may be necessary to make up the required amount. Provision is made for returning the Government sub scription after the - land banks are firmly established. In order to secure intimate touch Vith the borrowers it is nrovidrxi that the land bank shall m-me loans to farmers throueh local associations of borrowers, called National Farm Loan Associations; The associations do not conduct a banking business. Their operations are very simple. The admit members who desire to bor row; their directors and loan com- mittiee pass on the value of the se curity and the character of the bor rower. Every borrower takes stock in the Farm "Loan Association to the stock of the land bank, thus provid ing for a capital proportionate to the amount of loans, approximately 1 to 20. "The Farm Loan Association mav be of limited liability or of unlimited liability. In the former each member is liable for the debts of the associa tions in amount eaual to the face of his subscribed stock; in the latter tne mer.iber undertakes unlimited liability for all the debts of the asso ciation. This individual liability gives to the indorsement of the association solid financiul backing. The bill pro- viaes mat an loans snail be indorsed by the association of which the bor rower is a member. "We thus have a mortfraee loan secured by productive farm land in dorsed by a Farm Loan Association. The loan indorsed by a Farm Loan Association with unlimited liability on the part of its members will nat urally have a better standing than loans indorsed by an association in which, the liabilitv is limited. Each land bank will keep the two classes of morte-ages separate. "When the land bank has a sub stantial amount of each kind of mortcaes on hand, not less than $50,000, it may issue a like amount of farm loan bonds based on the mortgages as collateral security. Ev ery farm loan bond limited is se cured by all the farm mortgages held by the land bank on which there is unlimited liability of the local mem bers, because of the unlimited li ability the latter bonds should be sold on a more favorable basis than the former. "Every Federal land bank euaran- tees the payment of every bond and coupon issued by every other Federal land bank. This gives them a broad insurance.' The land banks are nermitted to charge borrowers one per cent more for interest than they pay bond-hold ers, for example, if the current rate on farm-loan bonds is four per cent, the bank may charge not to exceed five per cent to farmers who borrow. i'rohts Go lo Associations. "This margin of one percent on the amount of unpaid principal outstand ing is available to the bank for its expenses and earnings, but it will probably be largely reduced in prac tice. The profits go to the local as sociations in the form of dividends on stock of the land band held by the associations and reach the bor rowers in the form of dividends on stock held by them in the associa tions. In this way the earnings of the system go to the borrowers and its co-operative character is assured. If the one per cent margin is too high, no harm is done, for the ex cess comes back to the borrower in dividends." LANDER'S CHAPEL NEWS. April 23. Miss Marietta Pasour, daughter of M. S.

A revolutionary outbreak in Ireland in which British troops and volunteers sustained rela tively henvv casualties nnd n rnM h a German battle cruiser squadron c the east coast of England, in which the raiders escaped after having bom barded Lowestorft and his two Brit ish cruisers and a destroyer are the outstanding features of the war. Two British cruisers and a destroy er were hit by German shells, but none was sunk. Whether the Germans suffered any damage is not known. Except in Lorraine there has-been an entire absence of infantry fight ing on the western front. The big guns, however, have continued their rain of shells on opposing positions ai various points. At La Chapelotte in Lorraine, the Germans launched a heavy infantry at tack against the French which was repulsed. Some of the Germans ob tained a footing in a portion of the French bahent, but later were driv en out with heavy losses. In the Argonne the French have destroyed with their guns a German post and shattered a German trench over a small front. Considerable ae rial activity by the French airmen in which four German machines were brought down, is reported by Paris. On the Eastern front near Garbu novka the Russians made a heavv at tack against the Germans, but accord ing to Berlin, were repulsed with san guinary losses. Germans Attempt To Invade Ireland. London, April 24. A daring at tempt by a oerman auxiliarv to land arms in Ireland for the purpose of resistance against England has result ed in the sinking of the vessel, and the capture of Sir Roger Casement, a leader of the Separatist faction in Ireland. The occurrence is without nnrniiPi in the annals of Erin's Isle and will send a shock of concern throughout Great Britain. Though the members of the Separatist faction had hailed the present war as a golden op portunity for Ireland to strike for freedom from its allegiance to Eng land, the actual attempt to effect a union of forces between the disaffect ed Irish and the Germans will take rank as one of the most sensational developments of the titanic struggle. IF YOU WOULD LIVE LONG, DON'T OVER EAT. Oyer-cating is such a detrimental habit as concerns health and loads to so many disorders that it has been put in the class of "chief offenders" as enemies to good health. "While eating" says the State Board of Health, "should be directed by fundamental rules of good table manners and scien tific knowledge of food values and the needs of the body, it is too often a riot ofj untrained and unbridled appe tite in which common sense and discre tion are not in evidence. Gluttony not only wrecks health r.nd fills untimely graves, but it marks character. There's much truth in the saying that a per son's manners are a good index to his character. Over-eating is largely a habit, but a habit with serious results. It brings on constipation, fills the system with poison, and overworks the heart and other bodily functions. It is one of the main causes of the so-called degen erative diseases heart trouble, Bright's disease, reheumatism, harden ing of the arteries, appoplexy, etc. In other words, it is a curtailer of life which destroys all chances at longev ity. Whoever would live his four score years and ten would curb his ap petite and bite off only what he can chew and assimilate. GET A COW AND PLANT A GARDEN. Advice of the State Board of Health In Anti-Pellagra Campaign. "A milch cow for every family in Bladen county," is the slogan that has been adopted in connection with tha anti-pellagra campaign that is now being conducted in that county by the State Board of Health. A bulletin on "Pellagra, Its Cure and Prevention," prepared by the State Board of Health for use in this campaign, advocates the "community cow' idea in teaching the importance of fresh milk and but ter in the cure and prevention of pel lagra. It says: "First and foremost in importance is fresh milk and butter. We want to hasten the day when every family in Bladen county, wheth er landlord or tenant, will have a milch cow which will provide fresh mill; every day in the year. Furthermore, hope that the day soon comes when the head of a family that does not possess a cow shall be considered a public dependant. "Another thing we would especially emphasize," says the bulletin, "is the importance of every family in the county having a good garden and growing plenty of peas and beans. Let every farmer in the county make his garden 'king' instead of his cotton field. Furthermore, raise chickens and eggs. For every dozen eggs sold let a dozen be kept at home and eat en by the family. "Fmally," the bulletin continues, get that cow and plant that garden now. Don't wait until pellagra ap pears in your family to provide these every day necessities. To - fight this disease does not "require an outlay of thousands of dollars, but simply a lit tle intelligence forethought and effort on the part of every man, woman and child m the county."
