nounces that on January 1, 1918, it's
subscription price will be raised to
81 the year. Some years ago the
Maxton weekly quit trying to make

outrageous figures The Chief finds
it advisable to move up again. The
day of the 81 and $1.5O newspaper

no more reason why the price of

MOTHER! GIVE CHILD
"SYRUP OF FIGS" If
TONGUE IS COATED
If cross, feverish, sick, bilious, clean

If cross, feverish, sick, bilious, clean
little liver and bowels
A laxative today saves a sick
child tomorrow. Children simply
will not take the time from play to
empty their bowels, which become
clogged up with waste, liver gets
sluggish, stomach sour.
Look at the tongue, Mother! If
coated, or your child is istless, cross,
feverish, breath bad, restless, doesn't
eat heartily, full Of cold or has sore
throat or any other children's all
ment, give teaspoonful Of "Califor-
mia Syrup of Figs, then don't wor-
ry, because it is perfectly harmless
and in a few hours all this consti-
patton poison, sour bile and ferment-
ing waste will gently move out OF
the bowels, and you have a well,
playful child again. A thorough Gin
side cleansing" is oftimes all that is
necessary. 1t should be the first treat
ment given in any sickness.
Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask
your druggist for a 50-cent bottle of
california Syrup of Figs which has
full direetions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plain
ly printed on the bottle. Look care
fully and see that it is made by the
california Fig Syrup Company"

YOU MUST REGISTER
OR GO TO PENITENTIARY

And Then You'd Have to Go Into the
Army Anyway-Males Who Have
Reached 81 and Have Not Passed
81 Must Register
There is special effort on the part
of the State and the Federal author
tiles to impress on the general pub
tic in this State the fact that there
is a fixed and inevitable penalty Of
one year in the penitentiary for all
persons who are eligible-between Fl
and 81 years old-who fail to reg
lister for the selective army draft
June 5.
In addition to serving one year in
the penitentiary those sentenced have
to serve the penitentiary term and
then go into the army anyway. 1t
is pointed out that the only course of
even those who have any reluctance
at possibility Of being drawn for the
service is to either enlist now in the
national guard or go forward June 5
and register for the draft, since if
they fail to register there is certain
service of one year in the penitentiary
ard then service in the army whether
or no.

!. S. WARSHIPS RENDER
EFFECTIVE ASSISTANCE
More Effective Blows Are Being
Dealt Against Submarines


London Dispatch, May rs.
Premier Lloyd George, On announc-
ing in the house of commons today
that more effective blows had been
dealt against submarines in the last
three weeks than during any cores
ponding period of the war, paid tri-
butte to the assistance rendered by
the American navy, saying:
eve owe a very considerable debt
OF gratitude to the great American
people for the effective assistance
they have rendered and the craft they
have placed at our disposal. Now
that the American nation is in the
war it is easier to make arrangements
for the protection of our mercantile
marine than it was before"
The premier's statement on subma-
rine warfare was altogether the most
satisfactory heard in England in
many months. cit is much more diff
ficult," he said, "for me to give a
public answer on this than any other
topic. It is very difficult for me to
give information without to certain
extent revealing things which we had
better keep to ourselves. All can
say is that we are making substan-
tial progress.
During the last three weeks or
months we have dealt more effective
ly with submarines than during any
corresponding period of the war. This
is true of this as well of the preced-
ing weeks. There is no doubt the
effect will be made manifest in a
considerable reduction of our ship
ping losses.
"It is true we are not through the
month of May, but if the ratio Of loss
es during the last rs days is not ex-
ceeded, then the reduction upon April
will be very considerable. Indeed
there does not seem to be any reason
to anticipate any worse figures in
the coming week.

GERMAN SPIES ACTIVE
Berlin Knew of Movements of Amer
lean Flotilla Days Before it Ar
rived Abroad

Berlin Knew of Movements of Amer
lean Flotilla 4 Days Before it Ar
rived Abroad
Washington Dispatch, May rs.
Four days before the American de-
strover flotilla arrived abroad Berlin
knew it was on the way and to what
port it was going and the day be-
fore the little vessels steamed into
Queenstown German submarines had
strewn mines about the harbor en-
trance.
The startling information, reveal
ing that German spies not only still
are at their works in this country
but that they have a swift and sure
means Of communicating war secrets
to the fatherland, came to the Navy
Department today in cablegram
from Rear Admiral Sims at London.
The Admiral said his information
was positive. His dispatch was not
made public, and for obvious reasons
nothing will be given out concern
ing how the news came into posses
sion nor about the precaution which
defeated the German plans and enab-
led the flotilla to speed safely through
the mine fields.
Immediate publicity was given the
salient fact however the department
making it clear that its purpose was
to let the people know of he activ-
itv and success of the Teutonic spies
and to emphasize the necessity for
absolute secrecy in connection with
naval operations OR shipping move
ments.
The destroyers, now aiding in the
hunt for submarines in European wa
tiers under the direction of Admiral
Sims, put into port at Queenstown on
May is. How long they were in
crossing the Atlantic or from what
port they sailed never has been an
nounced, and until word Of their ar
rival came by cable only few peo-
pie of the United States even knew
of the governments decision to send
warships to Europe.
No official would comment tonight
on the possible means by which the
news was conveyed to Germany. If
it did not go from a secret wireless
plant, it must have been carried in
some code dispatch that the allied
cable censors passed as innocent. The
result will be to redouble the vigil
ance both of the censors and every
agency Of the government engaged
in roofing out the spy system. Ev-
cry German known to have been con-
nected with the espionage work Of
his government already is under ar
rect or under surveillance. Other ar
rests may follow at any time, and
now that the country is at war and
the revelation Of its secrets may mean
death to it's sailors and soldiers,
swift punishment undoubtedly will
be dealt out to any convicted spy.
Men now in custody operated when
the United States was a neutral.
Spying now is very different thing
and is likely to lead to the gallows
instead of the comfortable detention
quarters.
