Commenting on partial fall of Namur before the Ger mans, the Times says it Is one of those inexplicable events which makes war the gamble' that it is. That Namur should have partially fallen in - two days will re-quire a great deal I of explanation,the Times states. Commenting on the loss of the Bel gian Strong hod, the Chronicle says "The news today is decidedly bad, adding that if the aUies' losses have been heavy, we may yet see before long the Germans march in earnest upon Paris.

Well! Well!! If ever a fish took a bait and swallowed it whole, W. J. Martin, manager of the alleged United Press Bureau in Raleigh, fell for the put-up job which was pulled off for his special benefit by the Times on Monday. Sev eral of the aspiring afternoon newspa- Ipers in this state especially those in l . lL . j... territory the early editions of - L.T! ( . . i i ne l lmes are circulating tne war news . . . t nave oeen maicing poastiui claims about the superiority of the United D ' iL ,. . l Press intimating that the old estab- number, far outclassed by the "younger men" of the United Press. The Times has realized, ever since its i noon eaiuon was estaDiisnea several i ... weeks ago, that the grasping manager of the United Press Bureau in Raleigh has, been making practical use of its noon edition, sending plenty of good news to unsuspecting evening papers in the small towns, who thought that the "powerful" United Press was put ting something over on all other news gathering agencies. It has been seen how the Pope's death was "put over" several day9"ajo by the United -Press exactly five hours before that distin guished prelate actually died, accord ing to the statements of his own doc tors. Our innocent friends on the other evening papers have been writing col umns of what they thought to be sin cere dispatching of the United Press '"spontaneous" service. The service is "spontaneous" all right that is, it was yesterday! In our saner moments we will probably admit, here in the Tiines office, that we did a mean trick to both Mr. Martin and to our good friends who are paying him real money for the service which he is or rather has been sending them from the first edition of he Times. Our con science is clear from the fact that we have not intimidated our own readers and have not lead them along false paths as the only paper which went away from the office with the fake story about the alleged destruction of the American battleships, was that paper which Mr. Martin got and used There were only two men in The Times office who were on to the lit-! tie "skin game," and the secret did not leak out until today after all of MrMartin's papers had printed the alleged news in bold type again asserting the ability of the United Press to " put over" scoops. The little story which has created such a furor was slipped onto The Times press while the first edition was on, and after about a dozen copies containing-the fake story were run off, the put-up story was pulled off and the papers went along to the readers as usual. MAY HAVE TOURNAMENT. Hose Wagon Teams May Race On Labor Day. Labor. Day, September 7th, will be an occasion long to be remembered in New Bern. The merchants and busi ness men are planning to hold a "Bet ter Acquaintance Day," and a big barbecue dinner at the new tobacco warehouse on that occasion, and the Norfolk Southern Railway Company offering reduced- rates to New Bern from all points on their lines. Inddi tion to this there is a probability that the local fire' companies will partici pate In an amateur tournament which will be held on East Front Street. The hose wagon teams have recently re turned from,the State Firemen's Tourna ment where they made some excellent records and they are anxious to show the citizens and visitors just what they can do in the racing line. 'Several hun dred visitors are expected 'to be in the city on that day and elaborate prep arations are being made for their enter tainment. 1 --''' ' ) whV BKAY WILIz UNDERGO AN - A OPERATION.

(News and Observer.) Mr. Thomas D. Warren, chairman of the Craven county board of educa tion, and chairman of the State Demo cratic Executive Committee, was in the city yesterday on business. In conversation with a News and Obser ver reporter he stated that the edu cational work of the county is making most satisfactory progress along all lines, that this year has been the best educational year in the history of the county, that the educational outlook is most hopeful, but that the most hopeful and encouraging and far reaching single educational influence in the county just now is the Craven county rarm-lile school located at Vanceboro. He says that the school has been in operation only one year. It was the first school to be established in the State under the county farm life school law. The school is well equipped, with excellent buildings, laboratories, dor mitories, barnes, and a farm of 100 acres. It is already revolutionizing agricultural and educational condi tions in tKe "entire half, of the county in which it is located and is rapidly extending its influence into all the bal ance of the county. There is already a marked improve ment, declares Mr. Warren, in meth ods of farming, in interest in farm ing and in enthusiasm for it among; the country people. The schools moral and social influence, especially in the section in which it is located, has also been very marked even in one year. The man in charge of it seems to be the right man in the right place. The school under his management is directing the work to meet the practical needs of the farm ers in Craven county and to improve the conditions of country life in that county, dealing with them as they ex ist. In a word, its work is intensely practical and has already proved pop ular inspiring, and uplifting. Mr. Warren expresses the hope thzt similar schools may be established in the near future in all sections of North Carolina. DEMAND SURRENDER OF GAR- RISON. Twelve Hundred Arirud Moslems Appear at Lower California CALEXICO, Aug. 25 Twelve hundred armed men calling themselves Constitutionalists, appeared today be fore Mexicalo. a lower California rown, just across the border, and demanded! the immediate surrender of the Garrison under Col. Cantu. They refused Can tu's proffer of surrender provided they would accept the present officers of the town and marched to the southwest with the avowed intention of attacking; within a few hours. Cantu moved hist men to the trenches surrounding the town while the townspeople went to the American side. INCREASE NOT UNWARRANTED Federal Inquiry Into High Cost of Living Without Result.

"Generally speaking there has been no unusual rise in the price of food: stuffs. There has been increase in a., few commodities but some 0 these have; become dearer because of natural causes "I will admit that the timeliness pfl" our inquiry might have arrested a-general upward movement of prices due to the greed of retailers and wholesale." ; KANSAS FARM RAISES LUMBER.
