TabuIation of Figures.

eRaleigh.-North Carolina gained in
capital investments between the years
| Of 1909 and 1914. total of $36,656, 900
or percentage of 1873. whereas the
percentage of increase in value of
manufactured products was $72,856, 900
or 1876 per cent.
Theaverage for the 16 states and
the District of Columbia comprising
the South for this corresponding Pc
Rod was 2O.8 percentage of increase
in capital investments and 1872 per-
cent of increase of manufactured out
put.
It will therefore be seen that while
North Carolina was slightly behind
the average Of the other states In in
crease of capital investments, it was
far ahead of the average in the value
OF manufactured output, ranking Sec
Ond in this respect in the entire terri
tory.
These figures are cleaned from the
government reports and afford inter-
esting reading.
In North Carolina in 1909 there
were 4,931 manufacturing establish
ments as against 5.5O7 in 1914, with
a capital investment of $217,186,OOO
in 1909 as compared with $252,842, 900
in 1914 and having manufac tured out
put in 1909 of s216,656 900 as compared
with S9,412,OOO in 1914.
Oklahoma showed the greatest gain
in this period of capital investments,
while Arkansas showed the smallest.
In percentage of increase in value of
manufactured products Oklahoma led
again with North Carolina second.

The removal of other state troops
from the border makes room for those
who have not yet been down. While
either states sent men to the border in
the first rush, green and poorly equip
ped, no pains have been spared to
equip the men at Camp Glenn up to
the standard required by the army
and to give them as thorough train
ing as possible. In the meantime sew
eral- carloads of equipment known to
be on the way have not arrived.
Transportation facilities, according
to the officials Of the Norfolk Southern
have already been arranged for. The
necessary number of cars of all kfnds,
necessary for the removal of the
troops, have been ordered to be held
ready for use at Camp Glenn on very
short notice. It will require, it is I'M
derstood, about three days for the
troops to get in motion after the orders
are received.
After more than two months OF camp
life, the three thousand or more men
ct Camp Glenn are ready to move.
Taking into consideration that over
81 per cent OF the men to begin with
were raw recruits, and the additional
fact that part of the old men thus lett
were discharged because Of dependent
relatives, the progress made by them
has been remarkable. Plenty Of work,
fresh air and able leadership has

 Not to Be Recognized

There was no indication at the state depart ment today. however, that a formal pro- test would be made against the decree unless a case in point should arise
 The chief immediate interest of the de- partment is the decrees possible applica- tion to enterprises now existing in Mex ico, and assurances have been received that these are not affected.
 European governments whose citizens may seek investments in Mexico are ex- pected to take the same position in re- gard to Carranza's effort to bring any future concessionaries wholly under Mex ican law.

 According to the provisions of the bill, any company, whether or not registered [ in Great Britain, a majority of the di- rectors of which are foreigners or the voting control of the stock of which is exercised by foreigners, will not be per- mitted to acquire any interest in British ship during the war, and for period of three years thereafter. -
