Storm From Southwest.
The storm came from the southwest,
touching the city first in the vicinity
of Oaklawn. There a Methodist church
was blown down. Then the wind
crushed few frame buildings across
from the Oaklawn track entrance.
Farther on several small houses were
lifted and crumpled until the wind
rtached the Majestic park, which is
the spring training home of the Boston
Americans. That was swept clean.
Then the electric power plant was
struck and damaged. From that point
the wind swept a path through to the
northeast where many homes were
damaged and much property was lost.
Flood Deuees Wichita.
Wichita, Kan, June 6.-Packing
house whistles sounded warnings to
citizens to flee to high ground. Every
policeman in the city, the entire fire
department and every available moat
and motor car was pressed into SER
vice to rescue families marooned along
the creeks in the northern part of the
city.
The Little Arkansas river left its
banks and is flooding a large portion
of the city as a result of heavy rain
fall here Monday. The rainstorm was
general throughout western Missouri,
eastern Kansas and Oklahoma.
A later report Wednesday SAYS the
tornado swept portion of Mississippi,
Missouri, Arkansas and Illinois, killing
over IT'S people.

Not a Disaster.

London.-The latest reports from
the British fleet, from neutral vessels
which witnessed parts of the great ma
val battle in the North sea and from
survivors cause the British public to
believe the engagement was not so
near a defeat as at first reported, and
in no wise a disaster. The British
losses with all the craft engaged ac-
counted for. were three battle cruis-
ers, three cruisers and eight destroy
ers.
The German losses are believed to
have been about the same number of
ships, although of a much less aggre-
gate of tonnage.
British naval experts maintain that
Great Britain continues to hold the SUI
preme command of the sea by safe
margin, and that her enormous navy
could better afford the losses it suf-
fered than could the smaller German
establishment. The first reports of
the heavy loss of life unhappily have
not been revised. Great Britain
mourns 5000 of her best seamen, and
the whole nation is oppressed with
sadness. which is reflected in the faces
of all the people of London.

State Law Requires II

New York State not only
standardizes these county ac-
counts and exhibits but keeps
an auditing commission busy the
year around instructing county
officials and holding them up to
the mark in their record keeping.
They act under the direction of
the Comptroller General.
In North Carolina such a COM
mission might be directed by
the State auditor or the State
treasurer. And why not? The
county is merely a detached
agent of the State. The plan
does not interfere with local
self-government. 1t helps county
government on to efficiency.
We believe that dishonesty is
rare in our county Offices, but
the county exhibits published
from year to year brings US to
believe that our methods of &C.
count keeping are generally
antiquated, and confusion al
most beyond belief. University

mary Ministerial Union

We have in our midst a man
who is a prophet. He has the
eye of a prophet to detect the
forces that are eating out the
moral fibre of this nation; he has
the dramatic skill of a prophet to
display the evil of these forces
in no uncertain language; he has
the God inspired fire and en-
thusiasm to drive it home to
mems hearts and to show them
the righteousness and power OF
God; he has the courage to tell
the truth, regardless Of conse-
quences; and withal he is in
tensely human and sweet spirit
ed. He loves men, and men
who know him love him.
Nothing stereotyped, artificial,
or professional is to be detected
in his manner or his message.
Familiarity with modern scholar
ship has helped him to rewrite
the old and abiding truths in
new and compelling language.
Intense love of men and con-.
tract with God enables every
message to spring from his lips
with the spontaneity and new
ness that is born of an ever
fresh vision.
We are glad to have you with
US, Brother Ham, and we pray
Gods abundant blessing upon
you, and through you upon US.
Of course we don't all agree to
everything you say, but wouldn't
this be a monotonous world if we
had to agree with every good
man we meet?

Primitive Account Keeping

l. Would it be possible to devise
% a simple, standardized form
of accounting for all moneys re-
ceived and paid out by the
county officers of North Caro-
lima, (2) auniform exhibit sheet
that would show at the end Of
each fiscal year exactly how each
county stood in its finances?
If so, each county could be
compared with every other in
score or more particulars, and
ranked accordingly; say, in the
average annual cost of indoor
and outside paupers, the per
capita cost of convicts and work
animals in road building, the
cost per mile of sand-clay or TOP
soil road construction, the keep
of Jail prisoners per person per
day, and so on and on.
The tax payers conld easily
see in which county they were
getting the most or the least for
money; and where expenses were
light or unreasonably heavy.
At present, their outside of the
school accounts, no county in the
State can be compared with all
the others in the expenditure of
public moneys. Nobody knows
whether his county government
is inefficient and wasteful or not.
There is no basis for comparison.

War with Germany would mean the
active participation Of Italian troops at

The announcement of NJ. Brands pur

U. S. IN WAR.
Declared Ex-President Taft in Address
at New York

New York, Feb. 9--Former President
William H. Taft, in an address here last
night at the ! 9th annual dinner of the
Young Mems Bible class OF the Fifth
avenue Baptist church of which John
ID. Rockefeller, jr is honorary president,
declared that the United States is in
the European war "to the very strug-
gle itself"
"The rights of neutrals do not count
for MUCH" said Mr.. Taft. England has
violated international law and coursed
out policy which she was insistent we
should not do when we established a
blockade in the south Germany has
violated our rights by attacking steam
ships with non -combatants on them and
even neutrals.
"As neutrals we have the right to sell
As the fortune OF war has
swept one Of the belligerents off the sea,
the exercise of our right has aroused the
enmity of that belligerent and created
a storm. 1t seems that We are reaching
a proposition that neutrals ought TO be
before war begins"
Mr. Taft advocated a larger navy ito
the coming of any military ex-
petition of any country with stand
ing army" He asserted that we should
have an international alliance with all
countries to make another such war as
that now going on in Europe impossi-
bic "even il we are forced into war
to accomplish it."
