In his speech he liid down specific demands to which titer many and her allies will have to ac cede ft" thoso belligerents sincerely and hones ty desire peace. We believe 98 per cent, or th.s American people are behind the Pros ldent and will back him to the utmost resources of the United States in en forcing every demand he has made. The peace chart he has marked out te in full accord with recent state ments of Mr. Lloyd George, the Hrl Ush prime minister of England's war aims, and reflects tlito views of France and Italy down to the smallest de tails. The ' r,reflldeint .names., CoHrteen ding against the other allies and the ame treatment our own govern ment receives la accorded' to our al lies. It Is expressly stipulated that no obligation or liability upon the United States .shall bo cnoated by this ar- rang? -merit.

This is one of the many questions which every officers who will visit every county In the United States during January-February will answer in detail. Briefly, they include the amount expended for labor in the pre paration of land foir crops and in tht cultivation, harvesting and marketing of the crop, deductions ma be made for the cost of stead' and fertilizer :he amount expended for lalnir caring for live stock, cost of feed reilrs to farm and other farm build lugs, but not the cost of repairs to the dwelling.

The goal of the revolutionists Is a re public, and' republics stand for prog ress. Of nil Spanish cities Barcelona is the most progressive, writes Niksha. For ten years the conservatives have been looking askance at t' -.rent modern shipping mid man'ium one center, so '.different from their sleep Inland strongholds, and fom the peas ant villages of the quiet bills, with po litical Ideas of the lost century. Barcelona Is a great world city. It Is outdistancing Marseilles ns the Commercial queen of the Mediterra nean. The Spaniard has often been charged with a lack of business and enterprise. Barcelona is his answer. Here his factories rival those of Lan cashire, his shipping that of Liverpool. The great industrial suburbs, each a city in itself, are reminiscent of the outlying cities that cluster about Manchester in the industrial north of England. Yet Barcelona remains characteris tically Spanish. The city has taken the ugliness, the bitter competitive spirit of modern Industry, and, more nearly than any other industrial cen ter, has blended them with beauty and Latin courtesy and good nature. Bar celona Is Spain awakened, but not Spain transformed. I It is a sunny town, with a clear, bracing air and a blue sky that the smoke of a thousand chimneys never hides. It has plenty of parks nnd tree shaded boulevards; even its poor er quarters lack the sordidness of the Anglo-Saxon slum.

"Well, here we are!" exclaimed Bil- lie, presenting bis chum, Jlmmle Col lins. "Very glad to see you, Mr. Collins," said Uncle Dan with a smile. "Aw," said lilllie, "Just, call him Jlmmle. That's the only name he knows, lie's the pitcher of our base ball nine, and he's some pitcher, too. Just feel of his arm." "Well," said Uncle Dan, feeling, "That's a mighty good arm!" "Now, boys," said Uncle Dan, "what j do you want to tulk about?" "W ell," said Jimmie, "I was down to Galesburg a few months ago when the boys cume home from the Mexican border. They looked fine. Everybody was surprised to see how straight they stood and how manly they were. The boys seemed proud to wear the uni form. I tell you their muscles were as hard as nails. I heard Banker Haskett say that the training und discipline the boys had had was exactly what every boy in the country ought to have, and thut now these boys could get a better job at higher pay than they could have had before. Do you think thut's so, Uncle Dan?" Uncle Dan replied : "I have a friend who employs hundreds of young men. lie always gives boys having bad military training the preference; he says it pays to do so. He finds they are more alert, more prompt, more courteous ; they know how to carry out orders; they are quicker to think and to act than those without training. He said from his experience he believed that six or eight months of intensive military training would add at least 20 per cent to a man's MID-WINTER EXAMINATIONS FOR THE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS severely wounded children. a woman and two Tluo- enlistment of Bowers, Riley and Ulysses Phillips at the naval re cruiting station ill Raleigh places lipe .brothers - of one Swain county family In the Uultird States nayy.

There seems no limit to what the new shells can do. One of the latest shells has a sort of scissors attach ment which, when released by the ex plosion, will cut through the strongest wire entanglements. Another re leases a number of short chains when it explodes. These chains are sure to wreck anything they touch, says Popu lar Science Monthly. The scissors shell hns an opening In the casing through which the cutting arms project. They are slightly re cessed in order to avoid wind resis tance. The arms are attached near the nose of the projectile. They are mounted on steel studs in such a man ner that they can rock and expand In order to throw the free ends outward nt the base of the shell. The fuse is made In the ordinary way, and behind It Is a chamber for the explosive charge. The projectile Is fired Just as any shell is fired. The explosion releases the cutting arms nnd they cut through any object with devastating force. The chain shell is considered slml arly, except that the short chains are wound around the gaine and sepa rated by disks which keep them In place until the projectile Is emptied. Sometimes the chains are weighed heavily at the ends. When the ex plosion takes place the chains fly out with fearful force, and In addition to their high-speed forward movement they rotate rapidly. Needless to say, where they hit something, 'there ola nothing left. 3 Prof. L. N. Hickerson, county su perintendent of public schools, has mailed out the examination paper to all the teachers of tlie 5th, 6th uJid Tth grades of the county elementary public schools for the mikl-terui ex aminations. Tluo following explanatory state ment accompanies the examinations: TO TILE TEACHERS: These exa ninatlous are sent to you with fat ope that we may have more uniform ity in the classification of the pupils la the public schools. It Is absolutely necessary In the public schools to. organize the pupils in classes. Each pupil should be in the grade where lie can do the best for himself. Reudjig. ought to be the most important -ub-Act taught in the schools and ill ability should be the basis of clui neat ion. Do not return these examina:ioa papers but be sure to keep safely ;he seventh grade examination and whea you receivte the final examinations for the seventh grade (which will be sent to you just before your scIkxiJ closes) the grades on both examina tions and the average dally work of the pupil will enable thb teacher to tell whether or not the pupil, ought to complete the elementary school course. All who successfully pass these examinations will be giver, a certificate at the county comme'.ir.s- ment which will enable thb hoder to enter any of the high schools with out further examinations. No ne should leave the elementary grs iea unless they are thoroughly drilled in the common school branches. We will have a spelling oontett in each township which will be an nounced later: There will be a reci tation, declamation and story tell.ng contest held at county comiiK-::ce-mont. Please be sure to write a cord Just before your school closes and the final (examination will be farwarried. (Agriculture and Civil Governmnt wilt be given at the final examination) (If yum have not had an opportuni ty to observe "North Carolina Day" in your school as the law requires ould you not arrange to have it srtue Friday afternoon in tha nbar future and Invite the community The bul letin mailed to you Is valuable and by a little study the pupils can ren der a splendid program which will be of great interest to the patrons and useful for the children. If you have misplaced your bulletin another caa be mailed to you.) NATION HAS 1,360,000 ' NOW IN ALL ARMIES Rare your bought your War Sor ing Stamp yetf The re-appearance Of Knrke's com et was reported in a cablegram to the Harvard cooge observatory from Copenhagen. Encke's comet was really discovered by Pons in 1818. but it is called -Encke's' comet because of the discussion of its orbit by Jo hann fhicl, ta dltfngishj d Gqrj- man astronomer, who died in 1S65. The Comet has reappeared at regular intervals for 100 years. The survey of nursing resources in North Carolina, ordered somie time ago by the General Medical Board of the council of National Defense as a part of a nation-wide survte shows North Carolina has 839 registered and 119 non-registered nurses. Just at present the national survey discloses no serious shortage of nurses, the chief concern being for preparedness in the event of larger demands occa- Want No Vermin. No man is allowed to enter Germany from Russia without being thoroughly disinfected and purified. It is not dlsr ease that the Germans are guarding against, but something thnt to them Is more terrorizing than disease vermin. Therefore, friend or foe, nobleman or peasant, nobody, is allowed to cross the threshold of Germany without a visit to one of the disinfecting stations along the eastern frontier. Even one of the emperor's sons had to submit to the disinfecting process and re ceived, along with such of the Russian Cossacks who merited it, a certificate stating that "His Royal Hlgness Frince Adelbert is, for the time being, free from lice." Harvesting Kelp. Before the war potash could be bought for $40 a ton ; since Its impor tation from Germany ceased it has risen to $4.r0 a ton. O. C Hopkins, In The Forecast, de scribes the harvesting of the gigantic kelp of the Pacific, and says this yields not only potash but ammonia snd lodjne, while the gas generated In the process ! used to help the distillation. The Ua!ted States department of sg rlculture Is harvesting, the kelp wltb floating mowing machines. I AFTER FIVE MONTHS. The two pictures are of the same young man. The first was taken the day he enlisted and the second after he had had five months' military train ing. His home Is In North Carolina. earning capacity, and that it was the best Investment any young man could make. "Blllle, If you will go up to my room and bring my small handbag, I will let you see two photographs of the same young man, showing what only five months of intensive training on the Mexicun border did for him." The bag was brought. Uncle Dan, showing the pictures, said: "Well, here they are. They tell their own story and it is a mighty Interesting one. The young man, before training, has a discouraged look ; he has seen but little of the world. There was very little in his surroundings to bring him out. When he joined the colors and Uncle Sam took him in charge, life for him took on a new meaning. He saw a chance to do something and be something. He woke up. His cap tain says he is twice the man he was when he Joined the army. This may be one oftVthe extreme cases," said Uncle Dan. "I can tell you, though, that war or no. war,. no one thing will do the young me of this nation so much good in so short a time as a few months of intensive military training. It fits a man to fight his own life bat tles In the business world as well as to defend his country and Its flag. "Nearly every civilized country gives Its boys military training. It is com pulsory. It is based upon the fact that It Is the duty of everyone to help de fend his country ; and as war is now carried on, no one can do much unless he Is trained. Also, the records show that the killed and wounded among untrained troops Is nearly three times as great as It Is with well-trained men who know how to fight and how to protect themselves. By this plan a nation has trained men to defend her and the Individual is a stronger and better man for the training. "If the Chamberlain Bill for Mili tary Training Is passed by congress, as It ought to be, the same thing would be done for millions of other young men throughout the land. Everybody ought to demand of his congressman and senators " the" passage of this bill." "All right, sir, exclaimed Jimmie, vrt will see Judge Brownell, Mr. Haskett, and Professor Slocum, and get then busy." 1 That the movement of 1,360.000 Anirieaii troops from this country to J he battte fronts of Europe is a part of the allied plan of campaign for 1918 is the information given ou' to he people of Pennsylvania by the council of national defense thru tha State committee of public safety Latest official figures furnished to the public safety committee place the number of enlisted men now in the l-nited States armies at that strength According to the statement of the council of national defense this is :he largest armed force the Western Hemisphere has ever seen, not even excepting the huge armies which participated in the Civil War. There were 2.700,000 enlistments in the fed eral army then, but many of them were re-enlistments. The highest to tal was reached in 1865, when the Union army comprised 980,000 troops. Most of the new army of l,3C0,OOO men are still in the training camps. Many of them are not yet disciplined troops, fully equipped and ready to take the field but there are already enough of them to form one of tho biggest factors for Hindenburg to reckon with in the future. To lead them there are 80,00 of ficers. When the graduates of the second training camp receive their first orders the number will.be ov er 100,000, or as many officers as there were privates nine, months ago. The whole military establishment, with the Marine Corps and the aux iliary forces included, numbers over 1,500,000. When Great Britain entered the j war it was with a much' smaller army. The first expeditionary force numbered barely 100,000, but without its heroic struggle at Mons, Paris might have fallen and encouragement they brought to the French was enough to avert defeat in the first year of the war. It is the hope of the allies that an other new force will be enough in the fourth year of the war to crush the Teuton hordes.
