ENGLISH SAILORS WANT TO FIOHT Say the Carman Wok's Corns Out And Let the British "Knock Holes ia 'Em." London, Sept. 29. (By mail to New iork). Sailors with the British fleet are chafing at the bit, judging by letters they are sending home to their nlatrves, following are three sam pies of the letters that are being re ceived every day front tbe sailor Lids: "We are having a rather trying tme up here, closed up around oar guns all day long and on the alert foi emergencies. Whether the Ger mans will tackle us or not is a mat ter of indifference to- us as I do not believe any of the ship would be blown away under the flre from Ger man ships. . I don't believe they could hit us if we were all clustered together, but at the same time we are all of one wish and that is to have oump si : em. uti 'em eome. is i . . . . what we say." Another reads: "We are still dancing on the ocean wave on the lookout for the enemy but we begin to fear that be is not going to show up. It is sickening to think of our flue fleet going to waste for want of something to ftebt. The Germans appear to be in blue funk. )e nave seen one or two of their cruisers " and scouting vessels, but tney are always off m burry when they see us. We have given them evere encouragement to eome out and fight but they positively won't. I suppose they are waiting , for some one to come along and buy their fleet second hand so they will have claim ot a moral victory in not having it captured." -A third follows: "After a period of serving as es corts for transports we are now to ban a change but I can't say it is change for the better. - German who will fittht are aa scarce as six pence in a sailor's pocket after two days ashore.. They are a cowardly lot after all their bragging, to hide behind-, their forts and never give us chanc to knock boles in them. Can you imagine a British fleet act ing like thatt" ' . The Leo Frank Case Again. Atlanta, Ga- Oct. 6. Interest in the celebrated Leo Frank - murder etoe,- foiotfen war absorbed the front pages, has been revived by the declaration of Jiin Conley's lawyer, William M.

He does not offer any proof of his client 's guilt further than that already brought out, and states that Conley did not confess to the crime. Even ifit could be established that Conley was the actual murderer of Mary Phagan the case would offer several problems to the court. Con Icy has been tried and acquitted, or ruther convicted only as an accesso ry after the fact, and lawyers say he cannot be tried again even if he were to confess. On 'the other hand, Frank has been convicted and sen tenced, and could be freed only by a new trial,- hitherto denied him, or by a pardon, for crime which be did not commit. .' - Great Peace Meeting in Atlanta.

Result of Frequent Changs by Fann ers. Washington, D. C, Oct. 6. An of ficial of the Federal Census Bureau in discussing the report recently is sued by the government, dealing with tbe term of occupancy of. farms in the I'nited States, said: This frequency of moving from farm to farm, or instability of oc cupancy, very likely, forms one of the chief causes for the decline of ru ral prosperity, or is a hundrance to great progress. Frequency of remov al of farmers results in general shift lessness; the roads and bridges are gene, ally in a poor condition because frequent 'pfc nods, are not particularly interested in their upkeep. Farm buildings of such farms are not usually kept iu gooa repair, as the larmer who is about to move will leave the repairs for the next tenant to make. The same reasons will apply for lack of interest by the "unstable farmer ir the schools, churches and general welfare of the community. They move frequently; they do not remain on a farm long enough to get the best results from it, consequently they are usually in a poor financial condition." . Buy Cotton Goods. News and Observer. This week nas oeen designated as Nation-wide Cotton floods Sales Week, and ' throughout the entire country retail stores' will put on spe cial sales of cotton goods, tbe pur pose being to aid war-distressed cot ton by relieving the market of cotton goods on hand and thus creating , a demand for mure goods, this putting the mills to buying cotton to make more goods. Every household can help in this Cotton Goods Sales Week, and every one should help, especially every one in the South. Cotton needs help and the more cotton goods that are sold the better it will be for cotton. The call this week is for all to buy goods made of cotton'. In this cam paign every sale helps, and every merchant who handles any kind of eotton-imade goods should put on spe cial sales to tbelp on the cause. In Raleigh the .merchants will aid .the movement, and the people of Raleigh, as well as all who trade in this city should make this a week of buying cotton "goods.

Sew York Times. The repulse of the vigorous (iei r.ian assaults Ix-Uecn the Ancre an 1 Nimme rivers near Koye is an im H.rtanl ga:n for the Allies. Tim (:rt of tiur line is held liy an army il l-renrli reserves, under Uejieral A made. There was a chance that these troos might prove weaker ma u-nai man me corps ot the active army that are holding the line furtli er lo the south. The selection of this region foi the Herman attacks is also due to the tact thai they can rush troops to this rt of the line more easily than lo tlie Mrtion farllier to the south. Both railroads and highways are more numerous in the north. Hv usin both systems of communications the Hermans have heen able lo rush for ward large forces of reserves from beyond the Rhine. At tlie same time the French have leckcd the army of the German Crown Prince, which was advariein.. through the Argonne hills, between the Aisne and the Meuse rivers.'' All along the line the aggressive moves f tlie Hermans have heen repulsed, ,-hile the extension of the Allies" left flank has continued and has reached a point northeast of Arras. Must Do More Than Hold Lines. The weakness of the Herman iosi- lion lies in the fact that thev cannot afford to merely hold their lines. This nculd give the Allies oimortunitv lo nake use of their superior numbers to extend around one or even both i rnian Hanks. t The British have now had two months in which to gather in their iigular army detachments from llie'r olonies. The next week should see i large increase in the strength of the British armies on the continent. The great battle in northern France now reached a .stage where the Germans must break through the Al lies' lines at some point, or else must soon fall hack to protect their flanks. .So far they have been able to op pose the flanking armies of the Al serves .by rushing forward corps of re serves from Germany. There is a lim it to their available supply of troops, which must have been nearly reached in the present operations. I'nless the Hermans can send forward 200,000 additional men to till the gap between Deuni, east of Arras, and Alost, in Belgium, they will he forced by u further extension of the left flank i.l' the Allies to start a general re tirement from the advance positions ,-iiong the Aisne river. Not Necessarily Serious Defeat. Such a retirement does not mean n serious defeat any more than did he long retirement of the left wing f the Allies from the Sainhre to the Manic during the first three weeks of the war. It is onlv when an annv i disorganized that pursuit can in let upon it serious losses. In anv t treat any army loses a certain num- hci of stragglers, and generally has le abandon its wounded to full into the hands of the enemy. The note worthy retreat of General Von Kluek from the Seine to the Aisne indicates that German retreat from their pres- nt line could he carried out with fiial efficiency. I he princial result of such a re tirement would he an admission of the superiority of the Allies in force, which would encourage the allied na- ions to extra efforts, while it would tend to depress the Germans. MORALITY RESTS ON RELIGION The First Can't Survive Without the Latter, Bishop Candler Says. Bishop V. A. Candler, in the St. horns ( hristian Advocate. The American people must lav to leart the plain truth that national xistenee, let alone national prosper- tv. cannot exist long in the absence t morality. The Ohio State Jour nal is speaking words of truth and soberness when it says, Thc ruin of country is not brought about by a in-k of money, business industry, en tcrprise. These may attend, but the primary cause is the lack of morali ty. When that disappe-frs all is gone. And we man as Well understand that morality cannot survive the death of religion. An ethical sys tem of more prudential principles is always and everywhere ineffectual for the right direction and control ot human conduct. Intemperance can not be cheeked by tbe threatened loss of a "meal ticket." Stomachic morality is not reliable. The powers of the upper world must get hold pf men in order to restrain passion and inspire virtue in the world below, Gur churches are not useless orna ments of modern civilization, if they are what they ought to be. They are rather indispensable necessities. Sun day golfing esnnot make human good ness, snd no amount ' of recreation and fresh air and athletics esn feed the moral life of a people. Once week at least men and women must be brought face to face with God and duty and eternity, or they will grow lax iu principle and vicious in prac tice. 'r-.-r" Surely the old world needs s. thor ough course of Uncle Sam's peace restorative for its shattered nerve. Lots of people' give advice who haven t any to spare.
