WHAT WAS THE OBJECT?

Under the above caption, the New
York Times of the first inst, we
learn by way of the Wilmington Dis
patch, carried the following editori-
al:
"The Senate Military Affairs COM
mittee yesterday voted unanimously
against Senator Handwick's bill pro-
hibiting the sending of drafted troops
abroad without their consent. The
bill could not have been introduced
with any expectation that it would
pass, or with any expectation that
the committee would even report it
favorably. It's object was not to en-
dear Senator Hardwick to the people
of Georgia, for that patriotic people
is supporting the government and the
war with all its heart, and each new
performance of Hardwick's merely
adds to the bitterness which Georgi-
ans feel over the way in which the
great name of their State is being
humbled in the Senate by him. What
was the object?
"We have no doubt what the ef.
feet was. Every such bill and reso-
luton, every speech against the wal
by Senator, is hurried over to Rus
sia and Germany by the busy Ger
man agents here ard made use of il
both those countries, to convince the
people that this country is not real
ly in the war and will soon get ou
altogether. The aim is to heartel
the Germans and dishearten the Rus
SLAMS. If the Germans can be heart
ened sufficiently to hope for victor,
and the Russians disheartened suf
ficiently, to conalude a separat'
peace, then the task of the youny
men We are sending to France will
be rendered trebly hard, and thei
lives will be sacrificed in muc
greater numbers in consequence. Thi
is the effect of such bills as MI
Haldwick's. We do not know wha
their object is"

SELF-SUSTAINING COUNTY
HOME

Brunswick is said to have broken
the record for North Carolina's one
hundred counties by making it's coun-
ty home self-sustaining this year.
Commenting upon this fact, the Will
mington Star says:
"The Brunswick county home farm
is responsible for this bit Of enviable
publicity for Brunswick. Early in
Nav the State Food Conservation
commission urged boards Of county
commissioners in the hundre! coun-
ties to utilize county home farms to
the uttermost in the production OF
food and feed stuffs. Tha Bruh>:
wick commissioners have informed
the commission that they needed the
call ard II at they placed all cleared
land at the home in cultivation. Splen;
did crops have been the result ana
the abundance of production VIII
take care of the county institution
during the next fiscal year. This
is an achievement of which the coun
ty has right to be proud"
A time ago there was some flasl
in the pan about selling the site O.
the present Robeson county hom
and buying a farm, the idea bein'
to make the farm sustain the hom
and to provide better quarters TO
the unfortunate ones who must see
| refuge there. 1t seems that tn
county commissioners could not fin

was dropped. The Brunswick count

done. Robeson's home for the poe
is not credit to the county, and

tanned at less expense.

The Farmer Who Makes the Mos
Money

It is true that rsore foodstuffs has
been grown in Robson county this
year than was ever grown in the
county in one year before. This
means much to the county generally.
1t is to be hoped that the farmers
will forget the high prices of tobac-
co and cotton next spring when they
prepare the land to start another
crop and remember the fact that the
farmer who always raises all the
foodstuff he needs and some to spare
the farmer who makes the most
money, after all.

Help on the Farm

Locking at things as they are, it
is safe to vouch that a farmer next
year will not be able to hire much
help. Just about what man can
work with his own force will be all
he can cultivate.

AMERICAN TRAINING CAMP IN FRANCE. July 22. (By the A. PA large group of American officers left today for French and British military schols to undergo a lengthy course of training in modern warfare. When the course is completed, other officers will take their places, and later non commissioned officers will have the same opportunity.

 other inspection trip.

PETROGRAD, July 22.-An author iZed statement announces that a partial solution of the ministerial crisis was reached at a ministerial council held Sunday morning and confirms that the principal reason of Prince Lvoffs res ignation from the premiership was the agrarian policy, on which an irrecon- cilable difference arose between the premier and the socialist ministers, es- pecially the minister of agriculture The statement adds:
 Tt was established that the dVerg ence of opinion as to the adVisability of issuing a proclamation declaring Rus sia republic arose principally from the fact that certain members of the cabinet believed it necessary to publish immediately an edict proclaiming a re- pubic, while the declaration now being drawn up on the subject only repre- sents a preliminary measure with a view to the promulgation by the con- stituent assembly of an act establishing republic and in no way infringes or the prerogatiVes of that assembly,
 All the remaining ministers are agreed on this subject and also on the inopportuneness of the present diffi- culty of the moment when our front is broken, for raising questions such as whether the duma and the council o1 state should be dissolved-question. which are unimportant from the view point of the governments activity"

BISBEE, Ariz., July 22-News that government authorities at Columbus, N.

At these camps all strangers seeking to enter Bisbee are questioned and those not desired are kept out.
 The governments action in remoy- ing restraint from the men at Colum- bus is interpreted here as meaning they will not be returned to this city in a body, under federal guard It virtually has ended belief that the exiles might return.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-Secretary Daniels in letter sent to the senate and made public today, explains at length the information on which he based his statement of July regarding submarine attacks on the American ex- peditionary force, and reveals that in- conclusive reports of the encounter had reached the navy department five days before the statement was issued.
 The secretary wrote in reply to Sen ator Tillman, chairman of the naval committee, who sent a letter of inquiry after resolution had been introduced in congress requesting that the depart ment hubmit the text of Rear Admiral Gleaves' dispatch on the subject Sev- eral senators have charged during the debate that the secretary's report was a greatly exaggerated paraphrase of the official report prepared by the pub lie information committee. The resolu- tion of inquiry was not passed.
 MT. Daniels defends the statement and assures the naval committee that the text of the Gleaves dispatch is sub ject to it's inspection although it ob- viously cannot be made public because of the names of vessels and other mili- tary information it contains

The French and Russian fronts con- tinue the scenes of the greatest military activity.
 In France, between Soissons and Rheims. the French again have given an exhibition of their tenacious ability at defense. like that which held the Germans back from Verdun, in the east the Russian line in Galicia apparently is crumbling by reason of the disaffec- tion of some of the troops and the vicious assaults the Germans and Austro Hungarians are throwing against it.
 Notwithstanding the heavy losses the Germans had thus far sustained In their attacks along the Chemln des Danes in France. they again Sunday made fruitless efforts to defeat General Petain's forces. From Epine de CheV- regny to the south of Corbeny, approx imatelv twelve miles, the artillery Of the crown prince pounded the French positions mercilessly in the early morn ing after which the leash was slipped from the infantry which attacked on several sectors, only to meet with a galling fire from the French rifles ana machine guns Often the opposing troops came into hand to- hand en- counters. Several times the Germans reached the Classmates plateau but each time were driven back suffering heavy casualties. Only at one point, the California plateau, were they able to gain footing. and here the position is still in dispute in stubborn battle for supremacy.
 With the continued forward press of the Germans in the region of Zloch- off. Galicia, the Russian line on the front south of Brezezany is beginning to give way, according to Berlin. The Sereth bridgehead near Tarnopol has been reached by the Germans and at several points the railway running from Tarnopol to KoZowa has beer taken The Russians in their retreat have set fire to the town of TarnopO and villages to the east. Should the Russian line immediately south O Brzezany give way it is probable that the Russians will be forced to retreaf fro mthe region of Halicz.
