May 5.—Many North Carolinians have requested the dis-charge of farmer boys from the army so that they could help pro-duce crops this year. The call has been general. To-day the war de-partment issued an important an-nouncement on this subject. The war department authorizes the following: "Farming, as set forth in circular No. 77. war department 1918. is on the same plan as all other industries I or occupations in the country and. ! therefore, it is not the policy of the peace war department in applying the pro- I visions of this circular, to consider that SECRETARY DANIELS URGES SINKINGOFGERMAN FLEET WANTS THEM SUNK WITH BANDS PLAYING AND FLAGS FLYING. a general shortage of labor in farming shall be the determining factor in establishing the eligibility of an individual for discharge.

"The Germa.i fleet should be sunk, in the opinion of American and British technical experts in Paris." the secretary said. "Those who are not technical and who view the sit-uation entirely from the moral side have the same idr-i and believe that the ships should be unk with bands playing and flags living to keep company with the n.e -hantmen the German navy destroyed. "I think.the greatest moral lesson of the war would be the sinking of the whole fleet with an unforgetable ceremony. These ships, which I re-cently viewed, are magnificent crafts but virtually useless as a part of the American navy. In the first place, you would never induce an Ameri-can sailor to live in the cramped and unhealthy quarters, even of the latest types, and none has bunker space sufficient for our needs. The ships undoubtedly were built for lighting in the North sea. and not for long cruises as is necessary in our navy. The armor, however, is bet-ter than the American or British." The secretary said there is noth-ing approaching a concert of opin-ion as to the size of the internation-al naval police force or as to what responsibility each ally is willing to accept. He added that "all must be worked out when the league of na-tions begins to function. But with so many problems to faee the na-tions are willing to leave that one until later."

May 6.—General Persh-ing when he visits London the latter part of this month will be the official guest of the government for two days and will be the unofficial guest of the country three or five days longer. No official notification has yet been ONE MILLION TROOPS ARE NOW BACK HOME THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND WILL BE RETURNED MONTH-LY BY JUNE: New York, May 5.—The one mil-lionth man of the American expedi-tionary force will embark for home next week. Secretary Baker said to-day on his arrival here from France aboard the transport Washington. The homeward movement of troops Mr. Baker said, is progressing in a most satisfactory manner and he added that the 300,000 a month mark would be reached in June. Secretary Baker left here April 7, accompanied by Warren Pershing, Gen. Pershing's only son. He visit-ed various points in France where American troops are quartered, go-ing also to the German line where he reviewed the third army. Speak-ing briefly of his visit. Secretary Baker said: "Kent Equipped Army in World." "The American army abroad is in splendid condition. The third army which I inspected 'on the German frontier is beyond doubt the best equipped army in the world. It is everything that an army should be, in all its departments. "The men are anxious to get home and we are moving them as rapidly as possible. I expect to see the 300,- 000 a month mark reached in June, and the one millionth man will em-bark for home next week." Embarkation Camp at Brest. Secretary Baker said he visited but one embarkation camp—that at Brest. "Its condition is simply ideal." he asserted, "and you can get the same expression from any doughboy on this ship. I did not see any of the others but am inform-ed that the same good condition prevails at all." Mr. Baker'.- will remain over in New York to-' review the parade of the 77th division tomorrow, after" which he will leave for Washington. COSTS MORE THAN $200 YEAR TO FEED A CHILD. CONGRESS CALLED TO MEET ON MAY 19. Washington, May 7.—President Wilson issued a call by cable to-day for a special session of Congress to meet Monday, May 19. Secretary Tumulty in making the announcement said it would be im-possible of course for the President to be here on the opening day. The date fixed for the special session was mnch earlier than Democratic leaders had expected. GOVERNOR BICKETT PARDONS TWO A. E. F. SOLDIERS. TUESDAY'S MEETING OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS GOOD ROADS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY WAS PRINCIPAL SUBJECT DISCUSSED. Raleigh, May 6.—Following a heart-to-heart talk with the two prisoners. Governor Bickett yester-day granted conditional pardons to Paul Jacobs and John Collins, two A. E. F. soldiers, who were sentenced to sixty days on the1 road from Wake county for carrying concealed weap-ons. The two boys were convicted April 10, and the governor declares that considering their war record and the circumstances surrounding the offense for which they were con-victed, he thinks they have been suf-ficiently punished. The pardon is conditional upon their good behavior, and it was very forcibly impressed upon the two boys, both of whom have seen ac-tive service and carry wounds to show for it, that any further of-fense on their part will mean the forfeiture of their pardon. Collins lives in South Carolina-, and will spend little time in North Carolina hereafter. Jacobs, how-ever, is a Henderson boy. and served with company M, Durham 120th in-fantry.

May 6.—The clause regard-ing responsibilities which was not acted on at the previous session of the plenary conference, it is under-stood, has been Incorporated in the final draft of the treaty. This pro-vides for the trial of the former Washington. May 6.—It costs on an average a little more than $200 a year to feed a child between the period of birth and the age of 16' years. That was the rate set by Prof. W. S. Ogburn during a talk on econo-mics at the conference on child wel-fare standards under the auspices of the children's bureau of the depart-ment of labor in the Washington ho-tel to-day. The actual cost of feeding each child for the first 16 years of his life is $1,750. The deficit in families selected as the most economic exam-ples for feeding a child for this pe-riod, he declared was $71S. In most cases this amount came out of lhe needs of other members of the fam-ily, parents often denying them-selves food and clothing to feed the children adequately. The statistics were intended to show that the average income of families was too small to. provide children with requisites of life.

Asheville. May 6.—Judge James E. Boyd. of Greensboro, in charging the grand jury in United States Dis-trict court here this morning, took occasion to flay the I. W. W. organ-izations and the bolshevists of this country, stating, among other things, that the time had come when Ameri-ca must tighten up the reins if these people do not get a hold that will!,lovr in his pOSSPSii„u paralyze the industrial situation in1 this country. Judge Boyd's charge was one of the best that he has made here in some time, and he was greet-ed by a large audience, many of whom were tourists stopping at the hotels in the city who attended the opening session of lhe court in order to hear the judge's charge. Reidsville. May 6.—Sheriff Gard-ner and his deputies have been ter-rorizing the moonshiners in this county recently and have created a panic among distilling circles. Three stills and two men were captured in the western part of the county Mon-day and Tuesday of last week. Friday night Sheriff Gardner and Deputies Shreve and Brown captur-ed three more stills, one near Went-worth. one on the Thompsonville road near the Caswell county line, and a large copper still of 150 gal-lons near Lenox Castle. This still was one of the most up-to-date out-fits ever captured in the county. While on their way the officers met two wagons near Lenox Castle on which this still was loaded, presum-ably en.route to a new location. They also arrested Nick Harris, his son. Samuel J.. and his son-in-law. Cliff Scales, all negroes, who were with the team. The two wagons and three mules and a quantity of meal, barrels, kegs, bottles and other dis-tilling paraphernalia were captured. The three negroes were brought to Reidsville and put in the town jail. They were arraigned before 'Squire Hightower Saturday afternoon, who bound all three of them over to the May terra of Rockingham Superior court. Tkmd was promptly furnish-ed and the prisoners released. Sher-iff Gardner has the teams and still Columbus. O..

Washington, May 5.—Texas brew-eries . are being remodeled for creamery purposes, according to re-ports received from the state by the agricultural section, traffic division. United States railroad administra-tion. The agricultural departments of the railroads of Texas lately con-ducted a campaign for more dairy cattle on the farm, with the result that several trains of pure bred ani-mals have been shipped to Texas centers for distribution. This caus-ed a revival of the dairy business, and a demand for more creameries. Brewers desirous of turning their property into something worth while when prohibition comes, saw the possibilities of the dairy industry and proceeded with the change de-scribed. Railroad agricultural rep-resentatives interested in the devel-opment of the dairy industry in other states which have breweries, are calling the attention of the brewers to the Texas experiment. For Postmaster at Benaja. Washington. May 5.—The United States civil service commission has The second session of the Guil-ford county commissioners, in monthly conference here Tuesday, was featured and almost predomi-nated by a prolonged and seldom in-terrupted discussion of roads. In every nook and corner of the county, people want roads, and they believe that the "50-50" law recently enact-ed by the state legislature, with fed-eral and state eld, should 'ins ire a reputable highway in all part.; of IM county. Rut the county commissioner.! ari skeptical, in that they do not see as many dc.'lars forthcoming from VVashingcon and Raleigh, as tin fea-tured in Ihe nlS~ped illusions of tb6 people, and until provisions of the act are investigated thoroughly. It is assured that nothing definite will be done. Sentiment of the commis-sioners runs high for the road de-manded by the people of Rock Creek township, and it is believed that the road will be built, although the time of construction is still in the conjecture stage. A. M. Scales, Clem G. Wright, David White and other persons who own property abutting on the old road to Guilford College, which is really a Continuation of West Market street, desire that it shall be paved as the magnificent stretch of high-way between High Point and Greensboro. This will cost, it is es-timated, between $20,000 and $30,- 000 a mile; one-half to be paid by the- property owners and the remain-der to be paid by the county. Al-though the members of the board spoke encouragingly, they do not be-lieve that the county can stand the expense at this time. Decision to advertise the proposal was reached, however, and definite action may be taken witjtiVi the next few months. On motion of Commissioner Jones, of High Point, it was decided that Mr. Boren should confer with state and federal authorities to determine exactly how much money might be obtained in building the road be-tween Gibsonville and Greensboro. The commissioners realized that an insufficient amount would be obtain-able the first year from outside agencies to construct the entire road: but there is a probability that the state and federal boards would be willing to reimburse the county at a later time, in the event Guilford would advance all of the money so as to. complete the road immediate-ly. Until this has been guaranteed, though, the road program must be halted. Garland Daniel, appeared before the commissioners with a request that the county should take over a short stretch of road near the West Market street terrace, so that it might be paved as provided by the abutting tax law. The commissioners recommended to the North Carolina State Board of Charities the names of E. P. Whar-ton. Mrs. Blanche Carr, of Greens-boro, and J. W. Harris, of High Point, for appointment in Guilford county, pursuant to the requisities of the state legislature. Realizing that unusual care must be exercised in selecting the whole time social welfare worker for the county, the members of the board decided to forego the election of this officer un-til the June session. A total of $150 was appropriated by the board for the negro farm demonstrator. It was argued that he should devote his entire time to Guilford connty rather than dividing it between this county and Ala-mance, and on this account J. B. Latham and C. W. Gold gave an ad-ditional $160 each to he added to the $900 furnished by the national government. The demonstration agent will now receive $1,200 an-nually, and for this reason, it is be-lieved, he may well devote his entire announced an examination to be held . time and ettort8 to Gnllford county, at Reidsville.
