French Press Thinks
 Germany is Desperate

Paris, Feb. 6.-The German ad- rniraIty's proclamation including in the war zone the waters surround ing the British Isles has provoked an outburst of indignation in the French press although it is hailed generally as an indication that Germany is be- ginning to find her situation desperate.
 The Journal says the measure will have only these consequences: First, the death of inoffensive sailors and second the paralysis of the sea trade of neutraIs. Consequently, the pa per argues, the measure would cut off Germany's food supply for neutral shipping would not expose itself to danger.

Italy Foresees Protest
 on Plans For Blockade

Rome, Feb. Recommending on German measures against neutral ships the Tribune declares Germany does not take into account the rights or even the dignity of neutrals while Great Britain gave satisfaction to protests made by the United States and Italy, granting the latter the right absolute and conditional contraband. Continuing, the paper says:
 "Germany can be assured that some neutral powers will refuse to accept her ruling, under which the estab- lished custom of the examination at sea of neutral vessels is abandoned and peaceful neutral ships are put in the same category as hostile vessels. This will evoke protest from neutrals. If Germany finds that she has been damaged by certain British measures she should answer with reprisa1s dam aginE to Great Britain but not strik- ing at neutral powers in the move
 nents of their ships or the lives of their subjects"
 Stockholm, Feb. 6-Indignation is expressed by the Sweden press be- cause of Germany's proclamation rela- tive to a blockade of the British Isles. The belief is expressed that it will re- suit in the government making a pro- test to Berlin.
 close touch with the foreign office, de- clares England's regulation of neutral shipping in the North Sea caused an noyance but that it guaranteed traffic would be safe on certain routes. The paper says that while Swedish vessels suffered severely from German laying of mines this was later offset.

Ground Swell Puts
 Shipping In Peril

One of the biggest. ground sEveils'' thrt has been noticed in this port for nearly a year occurred in the harbor last night, for a time sert- ously 5eopardizing local shipping.
 With @ flood tide and a wind blow ing directly shorewards, the waves were piled up to such a. height within the breal1water that the big ships were dashed against the piers with great violence. E Q In tug-boats and small laarbor craft where watches. were sleeping they were called on deck and compelled chor lines.
 Tenders were put overheard where vessels were 1ashed together ,and a most unpleasant and anxious hour was spent by crews between Il o'clock and midnight. No damage was re- ported of boats washed ashore.

GREATER H-VILLE CLUB,

Frequent inquiry has been made
concerning the apparent inactivity
of the "reviving" committee of
the Greater HendersoniHe club.
For information Of those who have
made inquiries, it is not amiss to
state that the get-to-gether ban
quet was postponed until after the
wee&s nt criminal court, then
it was decided not to go into the
matter until after the closing OF
the religious revival now in pro-
gress.
There is no reason why the ma
jCrity of us should not be in better
mood to cooperate more heartily
in this club work after the revival
for it has been declared by a He~
lcrsonville minister that more
Christianity among the club mem
bers would do wonders in the
working of the club. AT any rate
we should all be able to agree on a
few things after so many hearts
are being spiritually tuned, for
the community has surely been
cursed by a few who because they
boss things entirely,
knocked the club almost out Of
existence.
The Merchants association will
also revive itself after a summers
and resume the fight against
the deadbeats who make the cost

lctte Observer with reference to
colonization work in Eastern Car
DINA should be of intereststo Hen
derson county people who are
longing for greater progress and
more modern methods among the
farmers:
""The colonization plans for Sec
tions around Wilmington, prose
cuted by private enterprise, have
proved successful to a remarkable
degree. It is reasonable to sup.
pose, therefore, that the COLOMBIA
ton scheme by the Friends OF
Childhood, the principal details
OF which have been supplied by the
New York Times, entails but small
risk In sending it's clientage into
that territory. The Friends OF
Childhood is an international So
ciety and is making preparations
to colonize in North Carolina anf
Tennessee large numbers of Bel
gian, Scottish, Italian, French and
Montenegrin families made home
less by the ravages of war. A
tract Of 700 acres near Whining
ton will be divided into 70 fa1ms
and turned over to new settlers.
Mr.. Hugh MacRae, Of marked sue
cess in engineering the pioneer
colonization scheme in that Sec
tlcn, is interested in the~new move
ment and the transportation will
be looked after by Mr.. Richards,
OF the industrial department of the
Southern Railway. While details
as to nationalities are lacking, the
Observer believes it a safe guess
that the majority of the coming
settlers will be Belgians and Scots.
ALI of those who have been trans
planted to the MacRae lands have
proved thrifty and energetic citi-
zens, They set the pace for the
natives by growing and marketing
a crop of truck in 80 days. They
constitute a good class of people
with which to make a beginning
at populating the desert silences in
North Carolina"

DEFEND ARMY
AND NAVY PROGRAM
PRESIDENT WILL SPEAK FOR
NATIONAL DEFENSE AT NEW
YORK NOV. 4.
SOME DETAILS OF THE PLAN
The Grand Total Expenditure For
Present Plans Would Be Nearly
One Billion Dollars.

Washington.-A national defense
program that probably means an 9
penditure on TIE army and navy OF
! upwards of a billion dollars in the
next six a will be laid before the
people by President Wilson November
4 when he goes to New York to make
his first public address since the
scope of the policy upon which his
administration has embarked became
known. He will speak before the
Manhattan Club on national defense
and the reasons which have impe1led
him to approve plans to about double
the navy and Q~uadruple the trained
fighting forces ashore within a few
years.
With the estimates of the war and
navy departments submitted for the
coming year, the breadth of the ad-
ministration's policy as to prepared
ness is being realized. 1t shapes up
in totals as follows:
Navy: For new ships and increased
personnel in five year $500, 900, 900.
Army: For reserve material (arms
and ammunition) within four years
$1O5, OOO, 900.
For new coast defenses and mod
erization of old forts within four years,
$751; 600, 900.
Fol the new continental army and
the proposed increase in the regular
army $685. OO, 900. CThis amount
probably will be a continuing and if
anything increasing appropriation
through the first six-year period
which would make the total expendi-
ture~at that time $156,00O ,00O).
The grand total expenditure thus
actually planned would be $842. 000.-
900.
These expenditures would produce
by 1925 a first line of dreadnoughts
and battle cruisers numbering 43; a
feet of coast defense submarines that
would fringe the Atlantic and Pacific
Coasts with an almost solid line of in
terror defense against attack; a fleet
of nearly It's destroyers and squad
rons of huge sea-going fleet suma-
rines to operate with the battle fleets.
For the army three would be at
the end of six years a trained force OF
100000 men, including a regular
army Of 100000 and the proposed
continental army and reserves; a ring
Of fully manned coast defenses, equip
ped with the largest and most power
full guns yet built and a vast reserve
OF field guns, machine guns, Howitzers
and big gun ammunition.
