BATTLE: RAGING
AROUND. VERDUN
BATTLE AROUND VERDUN HAS
NOT TURNED IN FAVOR OF
EITHER SIDE is REPORT.

The tide of battle around Verdur
anrarentlv has not turned in favor of
either side. While the Germans
claim further advances, the French
"re enuallv emphatic in their asser-
ION that thew checked the attacks of
the masses of German infantry sent
against them.
Fort Dcuaumont has fallen to the
Germans, but it is reported to be in
ruins. Around this position the most
desperate. fighting of the. battle has
heen going on since Friday. Here
French counter-attacks were deliver
ed with such crushing force that
some of the German detachments
were driven back. and one regiment
is almost encircled. To the west of
this fort. in hand to hand encoun-
ter, the French have elected the Ger
mans from a small redoubt which
thev had captured. -.
The German ambassador at Wash

tary Lansing that the assurances
given in the Lusitania case with re-
spect to submarine warfare have not
been modified by the recent German
memorandum representing the Gov
ernment's intention to treat armed

IMPROVEMENTS ON .
ASYLUM HELD UP

Columbia, Feb. 23.-Doubt as to
the legality of the item in the appro-
priation, bill of 100000 for repairs
at the State Hospital for the Insane,
caused Comptroller Sawyer to refer
the matter to Attorney General Peep
les for an opinion. The attorney
general says he does not think that
the appropriation of 100000 for re-
pairs at the asylum is appropriated
because the language of the bill is
doubtful. On this account the attor-
ney general advises that he cannot
say that this appropriation is legal.
Because of this fact the comptrol-
ler general will not pay out this
100000 except on order. from the
court, and it, therefore, seems that
somebody is to blame for another big
error, all probably due to the rush
of ramming through matters in an
allnight session. It was intended
that the APPROPRIATION bill should car
ry 100000 for repairs at the asy-
lum and authority for the governor
to borrow an additional $4,000 if
necessary. However, the courts will
have to pass on this matter before
the comptroller general will pay any
of it out.
Just what the effect of holding up
all improvements at the asylum will
be remains to be seen.

s40o, 900 SPENT BY FORD
PEACE PARTY ALREADY

New York, Feb. 24.-Gaston Plain
tiff, business manager of the Ford
peace party after Ford's return to
America, declared today that the ex-
pedition so far cost Ford four hun
dred thousand dollars and that eff
forts are to be continued by delegates
still in Europe. Plaintiff, with seven
other delegates, including DR.. Jen-
kin Lloyd Jones, of Chicago, arrived
here on the liner Newamsterdam.
DR.. Jones, while admitting "crudi-
ties and incoherences" of the peace
experiment, said a definite impression
had been made in four neutral coun-
tries and wide discussion of princi-
pies of peace promoted. Returning
delegates expressed the thought that
future Ford work had better be con-
centrated at The Hague in .co-opera-
ton with the anti-war council and
the women's international committee
for permanent peace.

SIXTEEN INCH GUNS
ON NEW WARSH|PS
NAVY TO MOUNT
HUGE CUNS-MEANS LONGER
RANGE.

Washington, Feb. 26.-Experiment'
al long range firing by the Atlantic
fleet and information about nava
battles in the European war virtually
have convinced the navy department
that battleships to be authorized this
year should carry ten 16 inch guns
each instead of the IL 14-inch wea'
pons aboard ships of the Pennsylvan'
ia and the California class now build
ing. Details of gunnery are conf
Dental, but it became known to-
night that the next target practice Of
the fleet would be held at ranges uI
to $4,000 yards because of the les
sons taught by the battle between
German and British battle cruisers
in the North Sea, where $1,000 yare
shots scored hits.
The navy general board recon-
mended some time ago that new bat
tleships be signed for the 16-incf
rifles and proposed other military
characteristics that made it neces
sary to increase the tonnage from
$4,000 for the California class tt
$4,000. Officials of the board haYt
urged their views upon the nava
committee in connection with the
pending appropriation bill although
the 1917 building programme is moi
yet before the committee. Many
officers of high rank, however, have
considered it unwise to mount the
bigger guns or build the bigger ships
Secretary Daniels, it is said, however
is about convinced of the desirabilitI
of the bigger ship project.
An order for the first kite balloon
to be added to the navy's aerial flee
has been placed, it was learned today
and this latest device to increase the
accuracy of gunfre may be testee
during the spring target practice. i
is proposed that each battleship be
equipped with a captive kite balloon
which will rise 1000 feet above hel
decks. The officers observing the
fall of shots now stationed in the
fighting tops $50 feet above deck:
will be stationed in the balloon bas
ket, communicating with the ship by
telephone.
The navy's biggest guns now have
a range of IL sea miles or more, anc
this probably will be increased ma
terially with the new 16-inch. Be.
fore the committee recently Admiral
Winslow said he had seen weather
conditions in which ships were plainly
visible at 10000 yards, or Is miles
1t probably was due, he said, to 6
mirage; but If he had had guns Of
sufficient range he thought he coulc
have gauged his shots so as to make
a bombardment effective.

aid in the project as war measure.
A plan for civilian training camps,
it was stated, will be worked out in
connection with the army appropria-
ton bill to be considered later.
The bill will be given final review
Wednesday by members of the COM
mittee, including Chairman Hay, who
expects to get on the floor and secure
immediate consideration for it early
in the following week.

NEW TELEPHONE CIRCUITS,
FOR SOUTHERN RAILWAY

Washington, D. c., February o.
In order that it may extend the use
of the telephone for dispatching
trains over the entire line from Alex
andria. Va, to Salisbury, N. c.,
$50 miles, Southern Railway has
authorized the construction of 2 tele-
phone circuits between Alexandria
and Monroe, Va. 100 miles. The
construction work will furnish en-
ployment TO a number of men and
will be under the direction of W. H.
Potter, Superintendent of Telegraph,
who will organize gangs to put up
the wires and install the station
equipment. Work will begin as
soon as forces can be organized and
the necessary material secured. Be-
tween Monroe and Salisbury the
Southern has used the telephone for
dispatching trains for number of
years and the results have been so
satisfactory as to justify an extern
sion of this system.
The telephone has several advanta-
ges over the telegraph. Service is
quicker and it is easier to guard
against errors. The dispatcher
writes the order as he sends it, SPELL
ing out all figures such as train num-
bers, engine numbers, and time. The
receiver writes the message as he re-
ceives it and then repeats it to the
dispatcher, spelling out all figures:
The telephone brings the sender and
receiver into close touch and the
dispatcher, should occasion arise,
can talk personally to the conductor
or engineer of any train on his div
ision.
The line between Alexandria and
Salisbury is very important part Of
the Washington-Atlanta line and
Southern Railway has provided ev-
cry facility for moving heavy busi-
ness over it safely and expeditions
|ly. Double track is now being con-
structed and automatic electric block
signals installed on all parts of it not
already so equipped. The addition
of the telephone dispatching system
will make this one of the most mod
ernly equipped railway lines in the
world.

STORING THIS COTTON PAID.

st. Matthews, Feb. 22-The Banks
& Wimberly Co., of this, place deliv-
cred to the Southern road here yes
terday 3,100 bales of cotton from
their warehouse. This cotton was
stored in 1914 when cotton was sell
ing for six cents. For this lot they
received 11.90 for 1000 bales mad
11.5O for 1,500 bales. They still
have on hand 1900 bales.
This is evidence of what storing
cotton means to the farmer. Within
less than Is months 100 per cent
more was given for this staple.
