GERMANY'S STRENGTH
SHOWS DECREASE,
Enenly's Resources Are Dimin-
ishing While Allies Are Prepar-
ed to Maintain Their Full
Strength.

Germany's military strength now
shows a clear decrease for the first
time since the war began, according
to a review based upon data Of the
French general staff made public IN
Washington Tuesday night by the
French high commission.
Worn down and driven back by the
never-ending pounding of the Allies
on the western front, the statement
says, the Germans have made their
supreme military effort after draw
ing heavily upon their inactive arm
les in the east and calling out their
1913 and part of the 1919 reserves.
Thus, while the Allies have reached
and are prepared to maintain their
full strength while awaiting the COM
ing of Americas great army. the en-
emy's resources are diminishing at
the very moment when the military
situation demands that they increase
"This shows" concludes the state
ment, "the decisive character attend
ing the operations of 1913 when three
great democracies, England, France
and America, will unite their entire
strength in attacking the enemy, II
conformity with the only sound prin
ciple Of war"

Share of Liberty Bonds.

The regular quarterly meeting of

Officers of the bank were author
lied to buy $28,000 worth Of Liberty

amount allotted to this bank by the
Federal Reserve bank of Richmond.
The 9Th Federal Reserve district, COM

ginia, North and South Carolina, is
expected to buy S2OO,OOO,OOO of Lib
erty bonds. This has been appor-
toned among the banks of the dis

last-named bank, says that so far as
he knows the Planters Bank & Trust
Co. is the first bank in the county to
subscribe for it's share.
It is important to bear in mind ir
this connection, however, that the Gus

INTEREST IN
COTTON GRADING
$500 Samples Graded Up to Mon
day-Both Farmers and Gin
ners Showing erest-Impor-
tant to Return Grade Cards

Mr.. O. J. Mcconnell of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, who has
charge Of the Government cotton
grading work in this State, spent
Monday here with Mr.. T. W. Trog-
don, local government grader. Mr..
Mcconnell was here for the purpose
Of looking over the work being done
st the local grading office. He de-
clared that he was we'll pleased with
the amount Of cotton that has been
graded here. Up to Monday $500
samples had been graded, Of which
5000 were sent in by Robeson coun-
ty ginners, while 500 samples had
been sent in from Bladen county. This
shows that much more cotton has
been graded than had been graded
to the same date last year.
Both farmers and ginners seem tC
be taking great interest in the grad.
ing work and no doubt the farmers
are being greatly benefited by the
grading.
Mr.. Trogdon urges the Importance
of those receiving grade cards fill
ing out blanks and returning same
which can be done without paying pos
tage.
Farmers and all interested in the
prices Of cotton are invited to visl

twenty minutes. Spot quotations from
three other leading cotton centers
will also be found at the office.
Mr. Trogdon says it is very impor
tant that ginners mail in sample
each day, as this will enable the far
1ners to receive their grade card
earlier.

Fire Prevention Day Observed.

''Fire Prevention Day" was observ-
ed in the graded and high schools
here Tuesday. Teachers of the vari-
Gus grades warned their pupils about
being careful with fire and urged
them to keep rubbish cleaned up
about the school building and their
homes.
A feature of the program was the
fire drills. The 400 pupils in the grad
ed school all marched out of the build
ing in less than SO seconds.
While the inclement weather kept
the people generally from observing
the day, many cleaned up the rubbish
about their premises, and the work
will continue.
