ENGLAND WANTS OUR HOSIERY.

ENGLAND WANTS OUR HOSIERY.
England is turning. to the United
States to supply that part of her trade
that fell to Germany before Ghe war,
This is evidenced by a letter from a
London broker just placed in the
hands of the secretary of the Raleigh
Chamber of Commerce. The letter is
addressed to "The Trade Commission
er, North Carolina, United States
America" and it found its way without
trouble to the States Capital City and
live Chamber of Commerce. The Lon
don broker inquiries where he can pur-
chase large quantities of ladies' hosiery
for the English trade. He states he
can either place orders or act as agent
for American mills and that he has
been doing an enormous business,
which previously went to the hosiery
mills of Germany.

ENGLAND,s HOPE.
May Have to Put 100000 Fighting
Men in the Field.

Qondon Dispatch to N. Y. Sum-
w. Hayes Fisher, Under Secretary
OF the Local Government Board, said
today that there are $4,000 "war wild
ows" in England already and that
there will probably be more than
double that number before the war is
over. The remark was made during a
debate respecting the resignation bill
In the House of Commons.
The bill was strongly opposed by
Philip S~nowden, a Labor member. who
declared that the Government is not a
free agent, and that the man who de-
stroyed the last Government still die
tates to the present cabinet. The re-
mark vas greeted with cries of
"Northcliffe, Northcliffe," who un-
doubtedly was meant by the speaker.
Major Archer-Shee, Upionist, while
supporting the bill said:
II believe we shall have to put 5000,
900 men in khaki or blue into the field
before the war is ended and that every
available man will be in arms, or en-
gagged in munition factories. on the
pathways or on farms.
