ATLANTIC FLEET
IS ON THE OCEAN
TRAILING ENEMY
But No -Word As To Disposition of
Single Unit of the Fleet Will Be
Given Out Until There is an Actual
Clash
Washington, April 9. The nation
tonight settled , down to watch, the
fleet as President Wilson and his lieu
tenants and Congress prepared for
the long drive to carry out the stu
pendous war plans which have jbeen
agreed upon. The first real wax news
Washington believes, will come from
"somewhere in the Atlantic' where
the American grand fleet is under
war orders shrouded in mystery. No
word as to the disposition of a single
unit of the fleet will be given out at
the navy department, Secretary Dan
iels said tonight, until there is defi
nite news of actual occurence. The
censorship will be rigidly maintained
until an actual engagement of some
sort has taken place, and even then
the announcement may be delayed.
Meantime America's naval force at
sea and ready for action, whether it
be against the submarine menace that
strikes in the dark, or German raiders
skulking in the byways of the seven
seas.
Navy Buzzes With Activity
All day the offices of the navy de
partment buzzed and sung with the
activity that attends the direction of
a war fleet. Admiral Benson, chief of
naval operations, and his staff were
at their desks throughout the day, and
for a time Secretary DOaniels kept
them company. The secretary said
tonight that the department had re
ceived no affirmative news of the ac
tivity of a German raider in the At
lantic. The secretary likewise denied
a series of sensational rumors of the
destruction of various American war
ships which flooded Washington dur
ing the day
As the navy the nation's first line
of defense prepared for action, the
drive for super-preparedness went on
with redoubled energy.
The navy officials worked on the
detailed plans of co-operation baf
tween the American navy and the
fleets of the entente powers, and com
plete arrangements for putting the
co-operative plans in effect were
made.
Financial Co-operation
The plans for financial co-opera-tion
with the allies were considered
by . the President's advisors and it
was decided to press Congres at once
for the necessary legislation to pay
for the great three and a half billion
dollar military plans of the adminis
tration and to extend a loan of two or
three billions to the entente powers.
The ways z.rA means committee of
the house, and the finance committee
of the senate, will get down to work
at once under pressure from the exe
cutive departments and the White
House, on th? legislation to author
ize the contemplated war bond issue
of $5,000,000,000 and to finance the
revenues of the government from tax
es, in order to meet the stupendous
war expenditures.
Had Trouble' Four .'or Five Years
No one appreciates good health like
those who are ill. W. J. Furry, R. F.
D. 2, Salem, Mo., writes: "I have been
bothered with bladder trouble four or
five years. It gave me a great deal
of pain. I took different medicines,
but nothing did me any good until I
got Foley Kidney Pills. Many per
sons suffer from kidney and bladder
trouble when they can be relieved.
Backache, dizziness, rheumatic pains,
stiff or sore joints and other symp
toms yield to Foley Kidney Pills.
Mexican Trcops Move Toward The
Border
El Paso, Tex., April 5. De facto
t::oo?s in the- state o .Neuvo Leon,
Ccahuila and Chihuahua have begun
a general movement toward the Am
erican border, according to highly re
liable information received here to
night. The movement in these three
border states has been officially re
ported to Washington and is being
watched closoly.

ZELL'S Special Com
pound For Tobacco
Madison, Rockingham Co. N. C. Jan. 27, 1917.
I used 2917 bags of ZELL'S SPECIAL COMPOUND
FOR TOBACCO on my farms last year and so far have
sold about $60,000.00 worth of tobacco grown over it at
:prices which are highly pleasing. ZELL'S starts tobacco
nicely and ripens it uniformly, producing a fich, waxy
leaf which weighs well and brings $he money. I will cer
tainly use ZELL'S again this year. J. M. GALLAWAY.
Roxboro, N. C. January 31, 1917.
I have been using Zell's Tobacco Fertilizers for eight
years and have never seen anything to beat them yet.
I averaged $42.00 for my crop of tobacco grown over
ZELL'S this year on the Roxboro Market. -
ZELL'S makes rich, silky, bright wrappers which
always weigh well. I had rather cure after Zell's than
any other fertilizer on the market. I expect to-use Zell's
again this year because all my people are pleased with
it. Yours truly,
WELDON G. CLAYTON
Mebane, N C. January 27th, 1917.
I used Zell's Special Compound for Tobacco 8-2-2 last
year and made 8326 lbs. of tobacco that brought me
$2791.21.
I will use Zell's this year and reccommend t highly.
ZELL'S starts tobacco nicely, grows it smoothly and
yellows it well.
Tobacco grown over ZeU's always brings a good price.
Very truly yours, f

made by a standard manufacturer, and considered popu

chinery the same amount per acre, Notwithstanding
the fact that I used a light sprinkling of stable manure
' with the 9-3-1 which I did not use with Zell's, and plant
ed the tobacco over Zell's last, I was surprised to find
with this disadvantage, that Zell's made the most tobacco
