MONROE, N.Cn FRIDAY, AUGUST 10, 1917. 51.50 PER YEAR CASIL HULKS FOR EXAMINATION UNDER ltlUIT REVISED Men Rejected May H Called Asaln, Ah Important Modification Mwle In Physical Requirement Give (renter latitude. Washington. Aug. 9. Pevisei! c ulations to govern physical exa:.iina tion ot men registered und-.'r the se lective draft were Issue 1 today by Surgeon General Coigns of the army and communicated to the governors of the states for information of local boards. The charges deal for the most part with questions of propor tionate weight and height; but may result in the recall C norne men re jected heretofore on physical grounds. The new regulations grant an un derweight allowance of from live to six pounds between sixty-fou1 end sixty-seven inches in height, sven to eight pounds between sixty-sevtn anu sixty-nine inches, nine to ten pounds between seventy and seventy-four inches, and twelve pounds above seventy-five inches. The effect ot the in structions is to reduce the nornal weight requirement. for tall men. An additional half inch allowance in chest expansion also is allowed to men above sixty-eight inches in height, where there is no sign of dis ease. Men with poor teeth will be more closely scrutinized hereafter. Where dental work will restore the teeth they will either be enrolled and the work done by army dentists, or al lowed time to have the work dune for themselves. A punctured ear drum is founu to be no barrier provided the hearing is half normal. Modifications are made also 1n sight requirements which v.ill , give physicians wider latitude In ac cepting men despite some defects of vision. Provost Marshal General Crowder has urged prompt action by the local boards in certifying as held for ser vice, men who make no claim for dis charge or exemption. A daily report to the district boards Is required, at the close of each day's work, and, similarly, district boards will report each night to the adjutant general "The government will call upon lo cal and district boards to furnish one third of their quota on September 1," General Crowder's message says, un der the heading: "The first call to the colors." Then follow the requirements for daily reports of the progress as out lined, which General Crowder says are inserted to "point the way to ex pediticin and in order to insure that no state and no local board shall be placed in the unenviable position of not being able to nnswer 'Here with the full third of its quota on the day- named. " Local boards are urged not to stop examining men when the quota has been reached. The boards should be certain beyond doubt that enough men have been certified, the state ment says. In another supplemental ruling, General Crowder states that men serving prison terms for misdemean ors are not exempt by reason or that fact. If the peace authorities will not release them for military service, they will be required to present them selves for examination when their prison terms have been completed. RUSSIA GROWS STRONGER American Commiiwlon Reports That She Will Do Her fart. Washington, Aug. 8. Russia, new est of democracies, grows stronger of heart and purpose daily and with aid from the United States, can be de pended upon to do ber part in the great war and emerge a powerful state. This was the message brought to President Wilson and Secretary Lansing today by Elihu Root and his fellow members of the American mission sent to Russia three months ago. Unqualified encouragement from the United States, moral and finan cial whetf necessary, Is absolutely essential to keeping- life in the new government, the commissioners agreed.. A separate peace with Ger many obviously Is their gravest fear, , Left to fight along with her present government in control the President was told, Russia will emerge trium phant and strong but if either by great masses of troops or clefe'r prop aganda, Germany should accomplish the overthrow ot the Kerensky gov ernment the outlook would be dark Indeed. Only one written report. It Is un derstood, was submitted to Secretary Lansing. It was not made public and may not be. From high sources, it Is known, however, that the commis sion was agreed on virtually all es sentials. There may hare been dif ferences of opinion as to the best methods for obtaining results but the opinion of present conditions and high hopes for the future was una nimous. None was stronger In his convic tion that there is the greatest hope for Russia than Mr. Root himself. Though conservative by virtue of long diplomatic and political ex perience It was with difficulty that he suppressed his enthusiasm. Other members of the party who share his optimism and discussed their veiws were Charles Edward Russell, a former Social!?!. James Duncan, a la bor leader, and Major Stanley Wash burn, a man of long experience in Russian affairs. The latter two were agreed that one great need of Russia is publicity regarding America's In tention In the war. Mr. Russell went a little farther , than the others by declaring emphat ically In favor of Bending American troops to the eastern front Immedi ately, He said their presence wvuld be ot (he greatest value in strength ening the morale ot the Russians. The military members of the mis sion, headed by Major General Hugh Scott, had a thrilling story to tell of experiences on the Russian firing line. They were under Are during one of the great offensives launched after the new government took the reins. The return and reports of the mis sion were about as informal and as devoid of secrecy and red tape as anything Washington lias witnessed in a long time. The members arrived this morning on a regular train and throughout the day smilingly answer ed inquiries and seemed anxious to help in every way to disseminate the information they had acquired. Final work on the report began shortly af ter their arrival and it wa3 ready ear ly this afternoon. The mission, headed by Mr. Root, called at the white house at four o'clock in the afternoon and re mained with the President about an hour. Members of the national wom an's party made futile attempts to use a banner addressed to Mr. Root but he entered and left the white house yard by a side gate while the women waited for him out in front. The work of the commission now id virtually ended. Its members will remain here a few days and, with the exception of the at my officers, then will return to their homes. Government to Take Hand in Wheat Protection. Washington, Aug. 8. Foreseeing that demands for wheat may exceed the supply next year, the government today announced a war agricultural program calling tor the production or more than 1,000,000,000 bushels of wheat and a crop ot rye In excess of 83,000,000 bushels next year. This vast wheat production, need ed in any case, will be absolutely es sential, the government experts be lieve to prevent a serious shortage ot breadstuffs next summer should the growing corn crop, now behind the season, be much damaged by ear ly frosts. It is the first time in history the government has taken a hand in di recting the planting of definite areas of crop. The program, adopted pure ly as a war measure, represents the best thought of the department of agriculture and of state agricultural officials and Mate councils of defense Planting of 47,337,000 acres of win ter wheat this autumn, an increase of eighteen per cent over last year and more than 2,000.000 acres more than ever planted to that crop before is a requirement of the program Each state is asked to plant as large an acieage in wheat and rye m can be sown without upsetting proper farm practice. Increase of almost a mllliou acres in the rye acreage is called for with a total of 5,131.000. The experts diafling the program foresee a possible shortage of fertil izer, but say there will be no general shortage of seed or farm machinery, and that transportation facilities will be ample. A fair price tor wheat will be established under the food legislation. Dr. How's Crop Report. Monroe, N. C, July 8, 1917. The Commercial Appeal, Memphis, Tenn. Dear Sirs: Cotton grew rapidly up until a week ago, since then it has scarcely "marked time." This was doubtless due in about equal proportions to three causes, viz., concluding culti vation, the great heat-wave which re cently enveloped the country, and lack of precipitation. These condi tions have arrested growth and pro duced slight deterioration. The plant, owing to fair cultivation and super- seasonable weather, obtaining until quite recently, has about reached normal stature for this date, but Is weed-like, poorly limbed and fruited. Meager application of low-grade fer tilizers is beginning, at this date, to play Its part in the drama. The crop of blooms martialed each day is short of normal. The dally registration of the white-bannered harbingers of the staple to-be would be about normal for similar dates of the preceding month. A general rain, which is now threatening, Is the very urgent need ot the crop. Condition 687c Very truly yours, GEO. E. FLOW. When to "Lay Bye." While walking over the farm of Mr. David R. Coker, head of the Coker Pedigreed Seed Company, In company with about sixty Union county farmers last week, Mr. Coker was asked to make a statement as to the stage he let cotton plant arrive before "laying by." He Instantly re plied: "We never 'lay by' our cotton unless the limbs Interlock over the middles so as to completely shade the ground and thus check evaporation. We keep the cultivators going as long as there are half-grown bolls to be matured. We frequently cultivate after the first picking In September, especially If there are Immature bolls on the plants, and find that It is profitable to do this." The cotton plant Is just beginning to bloom well on farms in this coun ty and the plant needs attention now more than at any time during the season. The demand for momure Is greater now, and every effort should be made to conserve it and this can be done best by keeping the cultiva tors and scrapes going. If there is sny farmer who does not believe thi he should try it out for himself. Of course all work in the cotton, or corn Mther, should be done shallow Rt this time. See that a good mulch is made and keep this up in the younger cot ton especially, until late In August. T. J. W. Broom. VILLA SON OF A TAR HEEL Former Alexander Man Hands' the. Hk-kory Record Some Interesting Information. (From the Hickory Record.) Mr. R. C. Teague. formerly of Alexander county, now a Mexican citizen, and living in Altar, Sonora, Mexico, where he owns some very valuable geld, silver and copper min ing property, was a visitor at the army recruiting station in Hickory. Mr. Teague has been visiting his brother, Mr. J. D. Teague. of this county, for a few weeks. Mr. Teague left North Carolina about 20 years ago and has since b?en in the repub lic below the Rio Grande, most of the time in mining business and con struction work. Owning some valu able property ia Mexico, in order to hold it Mr. Teague was forced to take Mexican citizenship to receive prop er protection. Mr. Teague was employed by the punitive expedition under General Pershing in the hunt for Villa. Be ing very familiar with the country traversed by the expedition, Mr. Teague was very valuable to the troops as a scout. The visitor knows Tancho Villa well, having had many dealings with the arch bandit, and has known him from the time that he was a fugitive In the hills fieri Doaz tj tha time that he was the dictator of noithern Mexico. Mr. Teague speaks highly of Villa as a man of undoubted cour age and a crafty, wise military gen ius. Mr. Teague says that to his knowledge obtained first from one of Villa's wives (he has three of them)! the Mexican chief was wounded at Guerro in April, 1916, by the 7th U. S. cavalry. Candelario Cervantes, Vila's second in com mand, who was kiled at Cruces, Mexico, May 25. by George O. Hulett of the same organization that Edney Ridge was a member, M. G. Co., 17th infantry, was also an acquaintance of Mr. Teague. Mr. Teague says that Pancho Vil la's real name is Francisco Caldrone, which translated into English Is Frank Caldwell. The father of the bandit was a North Carolinian, from Lincoln county, named Frank Cald well. The Tar Heel was In Mexico! on a railroad construction job in 1870 to 1875 and was supposed to have married a Zactece Indian squaw named Villa. The result f the union was Frtinclsco, who according to the prevailing custom among the Mexican Indians, took the mother's name. Mr. Teague speaks, Spanish more fluently than he does English, and he has been tojd this story many times and believes It. I Prohibition is now really In effect In Mexico, according to Mr. Teagut The new constitution is being ed and it is a "bone-dry" one. If n man is found drunk he ia ordered to tell where he procured his booze; if he fails to inform the authorities he is shot; if he tells who sold him the ?tuff the seller Is shot. Somebody gets shot every time a man gets drunk and it is expected that the prohibition law will prove effective Mr. Teague, while a Mexican citi zen for business reasons, Is still an American at heart and may go to France to fight for democracy. He Is In correspondence with the War De partment, and being a man of adven ture would like very much to get to the front. He will probably be as signed to some engineer outfit that will do great work behind the lines in France. Mr. Teague pasted a Mexican stamp on the foregoing story, which guarantees its veracity. Connecting War Prisoners With Their Friends and Families. On account of the Immediate mobi lization of her army on August 1-3 1914, Switzerland was unable to d is patch Red Cross ambulances to the belligerent countries as she had been wont to do in previous wars. How ever, the International Commltteof the Red Cros3 under the brilliant chairmanship of its president, Mr. Gustav Ador, one of Geneva's fore most citizens, was not long in find ing some other way to become of service to suffering mankind. It founded the Agency for the Prisoners of War, whose main purpose It is to act as Intermediary between the prisoners of war and their families and frjends. The undertaking was modestly started with six assistants, but as soon as its existence became known its activities assumed such gigantic proportions that the city ot Geneva permitted It to establish it self In the spacious, newly renovat ed Musee Rath, where some 1200 voluntary workers, belonging, to all stations of life, have since been as sisting in sorting and forwarding the mail of prisoners of war of all na tionalities and in answering the mul titude of enquiries as to their where abouts. The agency receives lists of casualties and of prisoners taken from all the combatant countries and these lists are Indexed and the infor mation made available for future en quiries. From October 15, 1914, to June 30,1916, the agency sent over 470, 399 letters with information to fami lies of prisoners; It received more than 78,713 callers who came per sonally to ask for Information; It transmitted more than 1,994,000 francs and 30,665.331 packages, to which 776.050 packages must yet be added which were dispatched directly from Geneva. From "Switzerland, the Good Samaritan," by Marie Wid mer. in the American Review of Re views for August. 1917. It's easier to approach . luxuries than it Is to back away from them again. BIGGEST CORN CROP EVER GROWN Three Billion tulieU U tl.- Surpass ing ILirtest in IrooNit. Washington, Aug. 8. A com crop surpassing any ever grown beiore; a reduction in wheat prospects, dtw to damage" to the spring wheat tro;. and record crops of barley, rye. Iiif'i and sweet potatoes, tobacco and hay were forecast today in the August crop repoit of the department 'l ag riculture. Corn production w;.i placed at 3.- isi.ioii.iioo bushels, an incras- of 6 (,000, ooo bushels over th- Jui forecast and 68.00'. U0O bushels above the record crop of 1912. The showing is due to vast lnproeii'.-iit in the growing corn in III: i .is. Indi ana. Iowa a id Missouri. Spring wheat production, i'mia.,1 In July at C76.noo.ou0 bushels, show ed the results of adverse weather con ditions. The prospects are put at 236.oi9.ooo binhels, a drop cf about 40.omi.iiii bushels from the July 1 report. Winter wleat, hi wever, is turning out better than p. .-viously forecast with a forecast total f 4 i7. ooo, Ooo bushel or 15,000,( 00 bushels more than indicated from July conditions. The combined yi Id of winter and spring wheat therefore show a re duction cf 25,000.000 bushels from tli pi eduction forecast in July. The crop, forecast from August 1 condi tions will be only 65a.OO0.000 bushels, or 1 3.000,000 bushels more than harvested la3t year. Potatoes are expected to yield 467.- 000,000 bushels, or 15.000.000 bush els more than foreant from July con ditions and 47,000,000 bushels more than the record crop of 1912. Sweet potatoes also will be a record with 86,400.000 bushels, j There will be an enormous crop of tobacco, almost 120.000.000 pounds larger than the record production of last year. The buckwheat crop will be the largest In many years, and oats wil come close to equalling the record made in 1915. HOW MEN WILL 11 E ASSEMBLED UNDER SELECTIVE DRAFT ACT Two Hundred Thousand Men Will be l ulled Sept. 1 to lie Taken to .lamp About Five Days I,ater. "Washington. Aug. 9. Regulations under which men of the new nation al army will be called to the colors, beginning September 1, were Issued tonlgiit by Provost Marshal General Cfowdnr. Two hundred thousand of the first CS7.000 men will be called Septem ber 1 and forwarded to their camps before September 5. The whole bur.l ness of assembling the levies i,t en- enforc-jtl'alnl1S points, providing them with give them their actual induction into military life is entrusted to thy civil ian local boards which select?d them for service. Until the men reach the camps, they will not be in contact with uniformed officers. The civilian control is carried forward through every stage of the draft to the very gates of the military camps where the making of soldiers will begin, to be completed within sound of the guns in France. The actual call for men will go In each case from the provost marshal general to the state adjutant general, stating the number of men to be sup plied. Each local board will be promptly Informed of its proportion in the call, and the adjutant general will fix the date when men from his state shall entrain for the camps. Immediately the local board will make out the list of men to fill the call, fix the place of entrainment and time of departure. Orders to the men will be posted and also be sent them by mail. They will be directed to report to the local board at .its headquarters not less than twelve hours or more than twenty-four hours before the time of de parture. Prior to the arrival of the men at the board headquarters members are instructed to make arrangements for their accommodations, to find clean and sanitary sleeping places at hotels or lodging' houses, to arrange for tluir meals and to provide lodging and meal tickets to be taken in pay ment and redeemed for cash later by a government disbursing officer. In its discretion, the boards may grant permission for the men to remain at their" homes. Arrived at the board headquarters at the hour fixed, the men will be drawn up, the roll called and agents of the board will take them personal ly to their quarters, remaining with them until every arrangement for their comfort has been made. Em phatic instructions are given that the guality ot food furnished shall be good and the board Is held liable for seeing that the meals are adequate. Retreat roll call at the board head quarters, set for 5:30 p. m. on the day of reporting to the board, will be the first military ceremony the draft ed men pass through. The board members are directed to be present in person and to Inform the men of their military status. Impressing on them the fact that disobedience ot orders is the gravest military crime. The light hand baggage, containing toilet articles and a change of undercloth ing, which the men are permitted to take with them to camp, will be in spected by the board. For each district, five alternates will be summoned to the board head quarters in addition to the men ac tually selected to fill the board quota. Tv,y will be held at the assembling int until train time to fill vacancies should any of the men fail to report. Except for retreat roll call, the men will be given town liberty until j forty-five minutes before train time. The board will during this interval select one man from the levy who it deems best qualified to command and place him in charge of the party for its trip. He will name a second in command to aid him and the other men will be told that the orders of thwse two must be obeyed under pain of military discipline. The man in charge of the party will call the roll at the board head iiarters just before train time. He will then line up the draft and. ac companied by the board members, match them to the station to entrain. There, final verification of the lit will be made, and if any man of the selected number Is missing, an alter na" will be snt forward in his place. The tickets, with meal ticket, all pa pers relating to the party, including thi" copies of registration cards, will trned over to the man in com mand, and tiie party will start for its Uainins Chip. It will be the dutv of the com mander of each party to watch oxei his men during the trip, to see that none ate left behind at any st:itio. that all are fi d legularly and that no liquor is furnished to them en route. When within six houis of the camp. he will file a telegram to the camp adjutant general notifying him of the time of arrival. Immediately upon the departure of the train, the local board will send a similar message. After the departure of the levy for camp, the local boards will turn to gathering up stragglers, If there is evidence of wilful violation of orders, the offender will be reported to the adjutant general of the army as a deserter and the local police will be asked to arrest him on sight and turn him over to the nearest army post for trial. Where there was no inten tion to desert and the missing man reports of his own free will, the board will send him on to the camp with an explanation and a recommenda tion as to his degree of culpability. Arrival at the camp, the party will undergo final physical examination by army doctors. If any are reject ed, the local board will be notified and an alternate sent forward for each such case. The quota of a board will be regarded as filled only when the full number of men called for have been finally accepted. SOUL IN PAWN TO STATE That Is the Trouble Witli the German People Such a State Can't Live Along With Free Ones. Why "must the world be made safe for democracy." as President Wilson demands? Is Germany the enemy of democracy the world over, and there fore the enemy of the American peo ple? The many asking this question have a right to a frank answer from every man who, like myself, has urg ed our entrance since October, 1914, and looks on our share in the war ns our greatest service to humanity, great as have been the services of the American people to man for 142 years. Democracy has been safe enough here through all that span and spreads the world over. What quar rel have we with the German people? None! A tenth or more, perhaps a fifth, of our population is drawn from it, directly or indirectly. No factor has been more wedded to liberty than our German communities and our German newspapers. They saved Missouri to the Union. They furnish ed a larger share of foreign-born in the army of the North than any race but the Irish. Their laboratoles have blessed the world with beneficent dis covery; their literature has raised our stage to a new level in the dis cussion of moral and social problems; their capacity for organization and efficiency has become the world ex ample. In the great hazard of war,'1 which in many ways is the final test of humanity, in the highest and the lowest, the German staff and German armies have made all the rest of the world seem like amateurs. Why does the world need to be made safe for democracy? Why is Germany the enemy of freedom? Because In the last sixty years Germany has put its soul in pawn to the Imperial Ger man Government. The Reichstag, little more than a debating society, has Just sought to free the soul and will of Germany from the Imperial pawnshop by de manding the right to pass on the terms of peace and to secure the re sponsibility of the Kaiser's ministers to the representatives of the people. Both efforts have failed at start. They must succeed, if the world is ever to have lasting peace which the safety of democracy requires. Freedom and subjection, a democratic world seek ing peace and an imperial world in the heart of Europe always ready for war, as the first law of its being, can not live together. As the Imperial German Govern ment stands today It controls 170, 000,000 armed for war as no territory ever was before, holding the world's strategic center, between Europe and Asia and Africa. The German Kais er, the Austrian Kaiser, and twenty- three kings, princes, and dukes hold complete control of these people and this territory. It Is the last fortress of privilege and despotism the world over. While it remains the world cannot bo made safe for democracy. uur institutions, national policy, ano liberties are in as much peril as any other land, and the proof of this Is the policy end the act of the Imperial German Government under the pres ent Kaiser. From "How the German Empire Has Menaced Democracy." hy Talcott Williams, in the American Review of Reviews for August, 1917. Marriage Is seldom a failure if nei ther party to the contract has any re lations to Interfere. MI ST BE NO TREASON. The .Men Who Support the (;enw went are fur It ami Th'oe Wli do Not are for the Kaiser. i Greensboro Everything.) Unless the loyal and patriotic Cit izens or this rountiy assist in head ing off the attempts at treason, it ia bandy possible that this country will ret hold toother during the war. Too many 'constitutional lawyer" on the st i eets; too many men want ing to discredit the President; too many loud-mouthed slackers here and there and everywhere. Thei must be some loud talk in South Car olina. The Columbia State, always conservative and level-headed, writes a double-headed article in which It leaves room to read between the line ,. Concluding .it says: T'.f only way to press the v. ar to a successful conclusion is to fight, to i-'ive. to sacrifice. To denounce those who fight with us is to helii those who light against us. The duty and the only duty of an American is in follow his leaders and hold up their hands. If our people fn this tn er gency are incapable of united action against a foreign enemy they cannot long maintain the integrity of their own liberties. They have before thetit the picture of Russian desertion and defeat. If there be those firm In the conviction that the American Repub lic on the 6th day of April turned its back on justice and righteousness and became a felon nation, let them raise the standard of revolution and take the consequences like brave men, but let them not, pretending that they are with their country, right or wrong, whine that their country is wrong and thereby carry aid and comfort to its enemies." All of which is true. But it does seem that there is a law against trea sonable utterances, and when they are made the Department of Justice should not be slow to apprehend and punish the guilty. No half-way measures should be employed stern and unyielding, the law should be su preme in its majesty. Along the same line Georgia I coming to the front with a proposi tion to resist the draft. Led by the unspeakable Tom Watson, the citi zens propose to test the constitution ality of it, and all this agrues no good. The Norfolk Virginian-rilot sizea up the Georgia situation in this way, end things look not altogether as they should look. The Pilot says: 'To.r years Georgia has had among the unthinking a reputation for law lessness. The Atlanta riots, a place high in the list of the elates In which lynching take place, the Frank case and other events Indicative of a spirit cf defiance of law have operative to keep Georpia before the public in a light not to be envied. The news frcm Georgia has frequently been or a kind that loyal natives of the state might well desire to see suppressed. "Now comes more ike it. Oppo nents of the draft law have met and' raised funds to fight it lawlessness spawning treason and jeering loyal citizens. Defiant of law. they anneal to the law, and, lacking patriotism, they appeal to that document which wllthout the patriotism of their fa thers would not exist. They will test the consltutionality of the draft act. "It is idle for people at this dis tance from the scene to look for causes, but even here it is Impossible to escape the belief that bad leader ship is cause of a part of the trouble. Georgia has honored the unspeakable Tom Watson and the unnatriotic Hardwick and others of that stripe and Georgia is paying the penalty. Probably she is deserving more of sympathy than of censure. Certain ly her affliction is a grievous one. Naturally we do not like to encour age violence; naturally we all want to oe iaw aoiuing; Dut it floes look like the proper authorities should speedily come In and stop all such lawlessness as is going on in Geor gia and other states. In fact, it is claimed that in our own beloved state the head of the Farmers' Union a political organi zation has talked too much anf gone too far, and it is printed that already the Department of Justice ia investigating his case. There Is only one way. President Wilson must be sustained. We are In the war and we must be united! and continue united if we get out of it with honor and glory. To have these loud-mouthed anarchists shoot' ing off their views about the "con stitutionality" of laws made In war times is to weaken our cause is to dishearten our soldiers. Congress, has made these laws, the President ts empowered to enforce them, and the man who stops to argue their .con stitutionality at this time is little? short of being a traitor to this coun try. And treason is punishable or death. Providence Rond Bridge Contract Let (From the Waxhaw Enterprise.)
