Some Nerve
This Soldier
(By Associated Press.)

BERLIN, March 10-All prizes Or
brevity, and few more besides for
modesty, go to a Baden peasant who
for some time has been with the
forces in Flanders. His wife has just
made public the following laconic let
tiers from him.
The first reads: ..
Dear Wife: l am still alive, and
have received your bundle. If the boy
is bad, spank him. Greetings, Adolph.' e
Shortly after came a second:
Dear Bertha: am still alive,
which surprises me very much. If the
boy still is naughty, spank him again.
Greetings, Adolph.'
The third communication was in the
form of a photograph of Adolph's
troop, showing him decorated with
the Iron Cross. No mention hoWeve"
was made of the medal, and the pic
ture merely bore on the reverse side
this brief note:
Dear Bertha: | was wounded but
am we'll again, and tomorrow | go at
it again. If the boy is naughty, box
his ears. Greetings, Adolph."
Perplexed, the wife wrote her hus-
band demanding to know how he had
received the Iron Cross, and received
the following Illuminating reply:
ct was very simple about the Iron
Cross. The major ordered me to stand
still, and the sergeant-major pinned
it on. Greetings, Adolph."

and twenty-cent pieces, together witt
dollar and half-dollar bills are the ex

AS this money is made on the ordinary

many to Withstand. 1t is estimated
that millions of dollars in counterfeit

CHINA MUST

Or FIGHT
(By Associated Press.)

PEKIN, March 10.-The japanese
minister today delivered to the Chi
nese foreign Office a communication
from the imperial Japanese govern
ment which is generally interpreted
by Chinese officials as threatening in
the extreme. The note, it is said
states emphatically that unless recent
demands made upon China by Japan
are complied with by March 18th, that
force will be employed in enforcing
the Japanese desires.
In Chinese official circles, the COM
munication. is not regarded as an ul-
timatum, but in view of the urgency
with which Japan is pressing the sit
uation to solution, every effort will
be exerted to expedite discussion OF
the Japanese proposals.

during the session is intended to in
sure cleaner politics during future cleo
tons in North Carolina. This law
Iegalizes the statewide primary for
nominating statehouse and other Off
Gals, and provides specific rule unde~
which such elections must hereafter be
held. Safeguards against fraudulent
voting in primaries under the new law
are identical with those controlling
regular state elections, and severe pen
alties are provided for violations of
the statute.
Laborers throughout the state are
generally pleased with the enactment
of the bi-monthly payday law. This
measure makes it unlawful for employ
ers to withhold wages or salaries from
their employees longer than two
weeks, and requires the establishment
of regular pay-days twice a month b.
all corporations, firms and individuals
employing either skilled or common
laborers. The bill was fostered by the
railroad unions of North Carolina and
met only nominal opposition in the
legislature.
