How far these operations have pro-
crossed only those on the spot and
the highest authorities at home know.
The British have landed at three points
on the Gallipoli peninsula and have
thorwn a line acress the outer point of
the peninsular. Other British troops
are threatening the Bulair line of forts
and the French are looking after the
Turks on the Asiatic side of the

The Turks report that all the land

British reports, which are brief, con-
tent themselves with the statement
that progress is being made and ignore
entirely the Turkish claims to vic
tories. '~&-

ceeded in bringing the question OF his
sanity before a jury. Application for
a fury trial, made by his attorneys in
a writ of habeas corpus, was granted

Justice Hendrix made it clear that
the Jury was called in ito aid the

If a suitable target butt and rifle
range can be secured, Hendersonv1lle

liam target practice.
Capt. r. v. Ladd of the Coast Art1l-

ROOSEVELT DEFENDS HIMSELF
IN $4,000 LIBEL SUIT

fL fr.A ~ a
Syracuse, N. Y. April 18-The trial
of William Barnes $4,000 damage
suit, against Theodore Roosevelt for
alleged libel, will begin in the SUI
preme court here tomorrow. Attor-
neys spent today putting the final
touches on their cases and. tonight,
with the arrival Of Colonel Roosevelt
and Mr.. Barnes from Albany, on the
same. train, both sides said they were
ready.
Politics undoubtedly will enter the
case when the talesmen are called for
examination. And, when the taking
OF testimony begins, there win be in
augurated what may, IL the court per-
mits it, development into a rehearsal
of certain instances which have occu-
pied the attention of politicians and
others during the past ten years or SO.
n suit, trial of which was moved
to Onondaga county from Albany or
a change Of venue, is based on a
statement issued by Colonel Roosevelt
during the campaign last summer of
Harvey D. Human for the republican
nomination for governor. In that
statement Colonel Roosevelt referred
to Mr.. Barnes, as controlling with
Charles F. Murphy, of Tammany hail,
the "all powerful, invisible govern
ment responsible for the mal-admin-
~istration and corruption in public Of
fees of the state" The statement also
contains other references to Mr..
Barnes as "a boss"
In his answer to the complaint Col
onel Roosevelt denied that by giving
out the statement he did that Mr..
Barnes was damaged to the eXtent of
$4,000 or any other sum. He says
further that his motive in saying the
things he did say was Fin an endeavor
as a citizen to advance the cause of
-ood, honest and efficient government
in this state, and without any malice
expressed or implied toward either the
plaintiff or any other person"
The coloneIs answer cites instances
of what he alleges proves collision be-
tween Mr.. Barnes and Charles F. Muir
ply. He also discusses at some length
state contracts let to publishing AMI
printing concerns in Albany with
which Mr.. Barnes is connected.
In discussing the Albany Lincoln
league, which Colonel Roosevelt says
is composed mainly of republican
oficeholders. Colonel Roosevelt as
serts that the members pay in as dues
three per cent. of their salaries and
that these funds are used for the ben
eft of the republican organization AMI
others.

The breeding season of the pest is at
hand and a fly killed now means get
ting rid of his descendants for all time
to come.
Of course the best way to swat is to
prevent. Garbage and other waste
matter are the chief nests for the pro-
pagation of flies. 1t should not be al
lowed to accumulate anywhere around
private or public premises. Recep-
.tacles in which 1t is deposited for a
time should be often and carefully

The fly lives on filth and swating the
fly in the broadcast n is keeping
filth from happening or destroying iE
when it has for any reason been allow
ed to exist. Cleanup weeks are be-
ing observed all over the State and the
more communities that observe them
the better for the general health OF the
State.
1t is calculated that the average
domestic fly can travel from 800 to
1000 yards and as they can be carried
long distances on ships, it can be seen

american women can do much TO
help solve the problems of rural and
town credit by observing the modes
OF european peasant women with re-
gard to clothing, according to an as
certion OF Mrs Marion Sherwood Lab

presented q report Of the American
commission, of which she was a men,

or the various states and sanctioned
by President Wilson, to investigate ag-
ricultural conditions in. Europe.
european women make their cloth

style that is rs fixed as the laws of the
Modes and the Persians," she said
This example, if followed by my fash
1onable sisters, would be a tremen-
dous factor in the solution Of many of
our financial problems"
Speaking of intensive farming in
Europe, Mrs. Lahman pointed out that
the part played by European women in
working farm lands permits of a sys-
tenn of cultivation which American
farmers cannot afford.
Mrs. B. A. Engloe, of Nashville.
Tenn, pointed out that the greatest
field in which women of today can la
Dor is in obtaining legislation along
the lines of juvenile reform.
"The practice carried on in some
states of requiring erring children to
be dealt with in the same manner in
which we deal with adult criminals is
barbaric," she said.
Arkansas was awarded the flag of

night as being the state in the south
that has accomplished more toward
civic improvement in the last year.
The flag was held by Tennessee last

ITALY's WAR AGREEMENT.

Rome, Italy, April 29.-From per-
sons in close touch with the situation,
information was obtained today indi-
eating that Italy has reached an I'M
derstanding with Great Britain and
France concerning the terms on which
she will enter the war, if she eventual
ly decides to do so. This information
unofficial, but gathered from close stu
dents of the pending negotiations, sets
forth the terms of the agreement as
follows.
First. A provision for concerted
military action. Italy will refrain
from hostilities during the present
stage OF desultory trench warfare,
which would enable Germany and
Austria to concentrate a large part OF
their forces against her. She will
time her blow contemporaneously
with a general effort by all the oppo-
nents of the central empires now in
the field.
Second. An understanding con-
corning the territory to be awarded to
italy in the event of victory.
"Third. A provision that after the
war an alliance shall be formed be-.
tween Italy and the present triple en-
tente, Great Britain, France and
Russia" :,
It is estimated that at the outset
Great Britain was disposed to make
terms with Italy, but that Italy firm
" declined to consider joining the
allies without first having cached a
definite agreement with them concern
iug the nature and time of her coop
Grafton, boundary readjustments after
the war and permanent assistance
from he allies. Italy is said to have
received powerful assistance from
French diplomacy in reaching the de-
sired understanding en- these points.

time keep these pests from breeding
if possible.
8. Start a green sod on the front
yard, in place Of having a hard-bak-
ed clean-swept waste.
A.. Keep the cultivators and har-
rows busy. Crops carried into June
clean and well worked usually give lit

5. This is the last month for get

6. See that the binders, mowers.
rakes and other implements used In

your oat land, better get them before
it is too late.

PER CAPITA TAX OF N. C.
IS LOWEST IN THE NATION,

An interesting sidelight is thrown
on North Carolina by a special bulle-
tin on assessed valuation of property
and amounts and rates of levy, issued
by Director Sam L. Rogers, of the
Bureau of the Census, Department OF
Commerce, and compiled under the
direction of Mr.. Strake M. Grogan,
chief statistician in charge of the in
qulry. The bulletin shows a total pro-
perry tax levy of nearly $3.50, 600, 600
throughout the United States in 1912,
amounting to 1897 per capita. These
amounts represent increases of Sc per
cent and 81 per cent, respectively, owe
the total and per capita levies in 1902.
The lowest per capita figure shown
Dy any State in 1912 was that of North
Carolina, 4.33," said the bulletin,
