BIG MILITARY BILL
PASSED BY HOUSE
S1O1 100000 ARMY APPROPRiA-
TON BILL PASSED HAS FEW
CHANGES.
AVIATION WAS Defeated
Artillery Appropriation Is Greatly IN
creased-Some Funds For All
Branches.

Washington.-After two days of de-
bate on the general staff of the nation
ell defense the house passed without
roll call the army appropriation
bill, carrying SOL 100000.
Advocates of immediate strengthen
ing of the military establishment
fought to the last for additional ap-
preparations, but their efforts met with
no encouragement from either Demo
cratic or Republican leaders. The
last roll call on a motion by Repre-
sentative Gardner of Massachusetts to
recommit the bill with instructions to
report back an amendment carrying
$1,000,000 for aviation was defeated
253 to "a.
An amendment offered by Represen-
tative Deitr:ck of Massachusetts, and
adopted practically without opposition
would prohibit use of stop watches
and other speeding up" devices in
connection with so-called scientific
management systems in arsenals and
ships. Representatives of union labor
ton for several years.
u0 uOuS0 also dOOpLeU an dH0uU-
ment by Representative Tavenner of
Hlionis to require that all munitions
of war provided for in the bill shall
be manufactured In government
plants.
The bill which carries funds for all
branches of< the army during the
coming fiscal year, includes $500. 900
for purchase of rs aeroplanes, and $780,
600 for an armored motor-car. These
items and efforts to add to them,
furnished texts for long discussions
on use of the aeroplanes and armored
motorcars in the European war. The
appropriation for field artillery mate
rial was increased from $4,000 to
$4,000.
Representative Guernsey of Maine
urged a stronger coast defense declar-
ing that if Great Britain should go to
war with the United States over ques-
tons arising from the European war
''her plan would be to seize the city
of Portland, set Maine off into Can
ada overnight and make property and
life there worth no more than in Bel
GUM today"

FIGHTING IN WEST
GROWING F|ERCER
HEAVY ENGAGEMENTS IN THE
ARGONNE, AROUND VERDUN
AND ALSACE.
WATCH EVERY GERMAN MOVE
Russian and German Troops in Po'
land Placed so Either May Flank
Other if Vistula is Crossed.

London-Although official descrip-
lions of fighting in the west are Orief,
there is evidence that it is growing
fiercer at many points. The Germans
are showing renewed activity in the
neighborhood of Ypres and heavy
bonn bardments of the Allies left wing
are almost incessant.
It is from the center eastward, how
ever, that the battles are most bitter.
In the Argonne, around Verdun and
in A1sace heavy engagements con-
tinue apparently without any decision
having been reached. But these are
merely local affairs compared to what
is expected when the ground becomes
more suitable for moving troops.
Along the Belgian coast every Ger
man move is the signal for a renewed
bonn bardment by British ships while
the aviators of both forces are con-
tinually dropping bombs behind the
hostile lines.
Dunkirk has been singled out for
German air attacks, doubtless because
it is believed it is being used by the
British as a base of supplies from
England while Ostend, Bruges and
Zeebrugge are receiving attention
from the Allies. There is no confrma-
ton from official sources of the re-
ported visit of the Allies airmen to
Essen and Dusseldorf early in the
week.
A remarkable situation has arisen
in Poland. Russian troops north of
the lower Vistula are now so miles
further west than the Germans in the
direction of Warsaw; so that a sue
cessful crossing of the Vistu1a would
make a flank attack by either army
possible. The Germans are keeping
careful guard over a possible passage
of the river above Flock, evidently
for this reason, but the Russian OBJ
jective appears to lie to the north
rather than to the south. On the
whole, however, the Austro-Germans
for political reasons, must divert their
attention to the southeast, where the
Russians are pressing through the
mountains towards Pennsylvania.
According to Russian statements
strong Austrian forces already have
been encountered and there is a sug-
gestion that the Russians are expected
to meet serious opposition before
long. The attacks in front of War
saw have grown less frequent and
apparently are not being pushed with
the same determination as previously.
In the Carpathians the armies are
snOw-bound.

FOREIGN TRADE IMPROVEMENT.

Sales Of Foodstuffs, Clothing, ETC.,
Have Been Unusually Large.
Washington.-Marked improvement
in the foreign trade of the United
States is reflected in latest reports
to the department of commerce, and
official summary of which, says in
part:
"Sa1es of foodstuffs and certain
lines of manufactures have been I'M
usually larger in November, the latest
period for which detailed information
is at hand. In that month exports
aggregated $206,0O0,O00, or double the
total for August last, when, by reason
of the outbreak of war, our foreign
trade fell to the lowest level reached
in many years. In December there
was further improvement, the months
exports being valued at $246, 900, 900,
compared with 1898 900 900 in Deem
Der 1913 and within four million of
the high record established in Deem
Der 1912.
'An analysis of the trade figures
published in the summary of foreign
commerce shows that while American
cotton, mineral oils, naval stores, lum-
Der and agricultural implements are
in less demand abroad than in former
years there is a greater demand in
foreign countries for our foodstuffs,
meats, sugar, clothing and other man
ufactures especially in Europe

GERMAN BATTLESHIP SUNK.
British Fleet Scores Another Victory
in North Sea.

British Fleet Scores Another Victory
in North Sea.
London.-An attempt by a German
cruiser squadron to repeat the recent
attack on Scarborough, the Harti1e-
pools and other British coast towns,
was frustrated by the British patroll-
ing squadron, and in running fight
the German armored cruiser Butcher
was sunk and two German battle
cruisers seriously damaged.
The British ships suffered only
slight injury. So far as is known
only 1873 of the Butchers crew of 885
were saved.
A battle also occurred between the
light cruisers and destroyers accom-
panying the bigger ships, but the re-
suit of that engagement has not yet
reached the admiralty.
The British were superior in ships
engaged, weight of armament and
speed and the flight of the German
ships into the mine and submarine
infested field possibly saved them from
further losses.

Mooresville.-The Mooresville Co

| called that about 10 months ago an
effort was made in IredeH county to
establish creamery, but owing to the
fact that the cream routes were not
organized and there was not sufficient
butter-fat gathered at this point to
maintain one, it was deemed advisable
not to attempt starting such an insti-
tuition until routes were thoroughly or
ganized and the cream obtainable.
Farmers began at once with their dog
ged determination to succeed and
with united effort, the creamery was
launched.
At II o'clock Mayor Fronts present
ed in happy manner DR.. D. H. Hill,
president of the A. & M. College of

the practical methods for doing things,
employing the scientific worn as the

and science have come to put a new

now employed.
Doctor Hill made pleasing illustra-
ton of the "practical' man who want
ed employment, but knew nothing
whatever of scientific or modern
methods of wedding out the unproft-
able work on the farm. In his clos
ing words he said there were only
three things to do that must be done
to attain the highest efficiency of prof
it and results on the farm. For in
stance, select better seeds, prepare and
cultivate your soil better and fertlize
with view to preserving the fertility.
He referred to the man who under
old methods raised only 10 bushels of
corn to the acre and who under the
method of selecting his seed, brought
from the same acre 20 bushels OF
corn. He said there should not be an
acre OF poor land in North Carolina,
where cow peas will grow in the sum-
mer tin2e and-clover in the winter,
thereby keeping the soil from washing
and nursing it as nature had intend
ed it. Doctor Hill paid high tribute
to Iredell county and her progressive
spirit.
J. A. Arey, formerly county demon
strator but now with the United States
Agricultural Department, made brief

agitation of the creamery for Iredell

HAY PLEASED With ARMY
GENERAL DEBATE ON $101 900 900
ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL
rs COMPLETED. -
Insists That the Country Is HopeIessIy
Unable to Put Up Fight of Any
Consequence.

Washin gton-After an all-day dis
cussion of national defence the house
completed general debate on the
SOL 100000 army appropriation bill
Reading of the measure for amend
ment has begun with both majority
and minority leaders urging that
action on this and other appropriation
bills be expedited to avoid a special
session of congress.
The feature of the debate was a
speech by Representative Hay of
Virginia, chairman of the military
committee, deprecating war talk and
declaring it was not necessary to add
a single man to the standing army.
The pending bill makes no provision
for additions to the army, but meas
uers before the senate military com
mittee with the approval of the ad-
ministration, would increase the
army by about $4,000 men.
Representatie Gardner, of Massa-
chusetts, and Kahn of California Wig
orously insisted that the country S
present defenses were inadequate
though they agreed with Mr.. Hay that
there was no immediate prospect OF
the United States being involved in
war.
How people can claim" said Mr.
Hay, ''that these great nations now at
war, which are exhausting themselves
financially and physically, as soon as
the war is over, are going to turn
around and attack the strongest ma
ton on earth is beyond my compre'
hension. The United States is going
on now to MAINTAIN peace with all
the world. That is the policy of this
country, not only of the administra'
ton but of the entire citizenry.
Nobody wants war. We are not
going to do anything to bring about
war. All this talk of our not being
prepared for war and of conditions
have arisen in Europe which makes
it necessary for us to go into large
military expenditures is absurd.
