 Suddenly, on the fringe of the thick noisy black line of rooters across the outfield, men began to turn their backs
 on the game, stiffly standing at atten- tion. Over their heads, from the di- rection of the band, cams faint but thrilling music, to which they auto
 matically fitted words:
 ITO arms, ye brave, to arms! "We'll form battalions strong, March on" "Attention!" shouted the big colored soldier who, but moment before, had been rattling the pitcher. More men, and down the rooters' line yet more men, were strengthening, stiffly erect.
 The runner, 10 feet off second, spun half a turn on his heel. The pitcher dropped his ball and the batter his stick. Even the lump" was called to silence. Away back, the Y. M. c. A. man saw lazy catcher stand, elbow crooked. and with his black hand to the forehead of his wire mask

PARISIANS PRAISE
 BRITAIN'S SOLDIERS

PARIS,-(By MaiD-Generous and enthusiastic praise was showered on the British soldiers who paraded thru the streets of Paris in the Bastille Day parade. Speaking of the impress sion made on the multitude by the sons of Britain, The Action Franchise says:
 "To listen how crisply their heels struck the road in perfect step was like hearing the faint and solemn echo cf the strains of Rule Britannia. Those magnificent specimens of Anglo Saxon manhood rose above the line without spelling it, and we may say without hesitation, because we know We shall be understood by our incom- parable poilus, that it was Britain's troops, especially the Scottish who pro- duced the greatest impression. One must have seen them to have experi- aH ed sort of magnetic influence which deeply affected all as they ad- yanced, almost as if dancing to the strains of the melancholy, but inspir- ing bagpipes. As the kilted bare kneed sons of Scotland swung by in perfect harmony of motion to the strains of Scottish airs, the great throngs along the line of march broke into shouts of Long live Britain, Long live Scotland"

CHATEAU THIERRY
(Frcp Current History

Chateau Thierry, which has added a splendid page to the martial history of the American army, is another of the ancient strongholds whose strat- egic position has given it equal sig nificance in the recent fighting. It was originally Roman. camp, Castrum Theodorici. The castle, built in 730 by Charles Martel, was given in S77 by Louis H., "the Stammerer," to Her. bert, Count of Vermandois from whose family 1t passed in the tenth century to the Counts of Troyes. At the end of the eleventh century the town, which had grown up under the shelter of the fortress, was surrounded by a wall, and the Eurgesses of the town, in 1520, received permission from Francis l. to found a leather and cloth

Russia. The cargo will consist par. ticularly of foodstuffs, clothing, and medicine for the use of the civilian population, returning prisoners, and refugees of Russia. The Red Cross has been advised that those deserving of peculiar attention and assistance are Russian prisoners returning from captivity in Germany. They have been starved and larger numbers of them are afflicted with tuberculosis.
 This shipment is, of course, to be made with the full approval of the United States Government and will involve gift by the American people through the Red Cross.
 Statement of MT. Davison In announcing this shipment, MT. Henry P. Davison, chairman of the War Council of the American Red Cross, authorized the following state ment:
 ''In spite of all that has happened in Russia, the American Red Cross has had members of its commission all ways there, always ready to lend a helping hand without regard to politi- cal considerations and without regard to what party in Russia was in power We have sought by every means in our power to keep alive in Russia the feeling that the people of the United States, through their Red Cross were eager to be of service to the Russian people in their distress and affliction In other words, our whole policy has been in accord with the statement of President Wilson at the great Red Cross meeting in New York City on May IS, that so far as he was con- cerned, he intended to stand by Rus sia as well as France.
 'Opportuniy has now developed for carrying out this idea on a large scale, and it is the hope and expectation of the American Red Cross that the ma terial in the relief ship, now to be dis patched, will be accepted as an effect i've token of the real spirit of the American people for what we know is the real longing of the people of Rus sia."

REVISED SALMON
 PRICES FOR SOUTH EASTERN ALASKA

The prices established by the Food Administration for Sockeyes and Co hoes, for Chums or Dog Salmon, and for Humpback or Pink Salmon, as an nounced in Bulletin No. 76. of May 21, 1918, were intended to be definite maximum prices that could be paid for these fish. The purpose of max mum price being to set fixed limit beyond which buyers cannot go, but Under which negotiations can be con ducted between buyer and seller, such negotiation being controlled by conditions oi supply and demand.
 Owing % the variable allowance be- ;Dg made at different points for deliv- cry, it Is necessary, in order for the 'ooj Administration to maintain con ,rnl of tho situation, that the maxi mum prices De established on a et- mite and uniform basis. This basis must De the price of fish delivered at the esta ahlishment, either i'll the ele- vator or on the wharf. and because this nresumes greater service on the part Of fishermen delivering their each, a1 upward revision of maximum price is justified.
 In fixing the new maximum the Food Administration has also considered the matter of the differential allowed fishermen who use their own boat, gas and fuel. The allowance made does not appear to be working out as sui ficient to cover the independent fish ermens' expense for boat gear and fuel and therefore it has been in creased
 The Food Administration mas decid- ei that the request Of certain fisher men foi' general increase in the max. mum price is not just, and therefore 10 change can be made except for req. sons above stated. The fishermen in :lestion are those whose cost of op- .cation is greatest. and in this connec- ian it mus ba pointed out, that it is -na interest or the Nation solely that lnust De subserved: Individuals can only beneti; from the action o1 the Food Administration when the indivi- dual interests happen to coincide with the interests of the Nation. It would r. manifestly unjust to base the max mum prices on the most expensive ms.hoG ' condJctins fishing opera.

 i Scckeyes and Cohoes 26c, 32c, each Chums or Dogs, 7c, Sc, each. ,s.

 d in so far as they apply to Zone 5. Prices of red and white Kings are to remain as announced in Bulletin No. S4 of May 2S, 1918.
 It is recognized by the Food Admin listration that there are various con- binations between all Company boat gear and fuel'' and all Independent Eoat. gear and fuel" Buyers and sell lcrs will have to come to some agree ment as to the spirit of differential where some portion of boat, gear and , fuel' is supplied by both parties. This spirit will De subject to the scrutiny of the Food Administration, and if, in his opinion, the split is not equitable
 such transaction shall be regarded as a violation of the Food Control Act. Also, the payment, or acceptance of the delivered prices when the buyer picks up fish on the grounds, will be lcanSidered as violation of the act.

An American army transport

in the war zone on Monday night
of last week. Six members of
the crew are missing. The Gov
ington was formerly the Ham
burg-American liner Cincinnati,
which was laid up in Boston har-
Dor at the outbreak of the war.
The German crew tried to de-
stroy her machinery, but same
was repaired in few months
and the big ship put to work
carrying our troops across. The
vessel was 6OS feet long and OF
1889 gross tonnage. 1t is re-
markable and shows the wonder

ers that out of the million soldiers
carried to France from America,
only 162 have lost their lives as
a result of ships sinking! This
must be a great comfort to our

feared that dozens of ships would
be sunk, and thousands of lives
lost, by reason of submarine
activity; but so far our precious

Sugar Regulations.

NO dealer IN or user OF sugar
except household consumers can
purchase sugar since July first
except upon certificate. All re-
tail dealers, hotels, restaurants
and boarding houses, hospitals,
county homes, chain gangs and
other institutions are included in
this list. All of these should
write at once to the Food Admin
istration at Raleigh stating the
nature of their business and ask
ing for proper blanks on which
to file their statements. When
the Raleigh office receives these
statements they will send certifi-
Gates for the sugar requirements
of each business institution.
The attention of all dealers in
sugar is called to the require
ment that they must keep an &C
curate record of the names Of
purchasers, the dates and the a.
mount of sugar purchased and
are further reminded that the
maximum quantity of five pounds
for country households and two
pounds for city households must
be rigidly observed.
Sugar dealers are required to
sell sugar only to their regular
customers and to contine such
customers to a minimum of three
pounds per month per person per
month. The three pounds is not
an arbitrary allotment for a week
or any other period because the
size of families vary; but the linn
it of three pounds per person per
month must be rigidly enforced.
Beginning July first, eight in
spectors were put into the field
by the State Administration and
thew will be able to check up the
records of dealers and ascertain
the names of any users of sugar
who have been purchasing from
dealers other than their regular
dealers.
Since the inauguration of the
rationing plan of sugar it has
been possible to modify the rule
forbidding the use of sugar to
soda fountains that are operating
in connection with retail houses,
cafes, etc.
In-as-much as the quantity Of
sugar used by cafes and restaur,
ants will be apportioned or allot
ed to them by the Raleigh Office
! upon sworn statements, such
cafes ars excepted from the rul
ing made by Mr.. Page at the last

conference. Such fountains how
ever should not use sugar except
that secured upon statement (A).
In other words, an individual or
concern which is operating cafes
and soda fountains should make
special statements and secure
special allotments of sugar certi-
ficates for use in the cafe proper
and for use at the fountain.
1t is still desired by the Food
Administration that no retailer
shall be allowed to use SUGAR
at a fountain run in connection
with his establishment.
Under any circumstances any
fountain will be allowed to oper-
ate where they use only bottled
drinks or drinks prepared with
manufactured syrup, such as
Coca-Cola, Pepsi-Cola and even
from favored and rock candy
syrup, the use of sugar in which
is controlled at the source of
manufacture.
The maximum price of sugar
is raised from 95c per pound to
10c per pound. In those cases
where merchants have secured
permission from E. A. Allen, J.
P. Gibbons or myself for their
weeks supply Of sugar please let
them be advised that when they
receive their certificates they
must return to us certificates to
cover the sugar so secured.

The Treasury department
sent to Congress Tuesday recon.
mendations for incorporation into
the new revenue bill. 1t fore,
casts the levy of direct taxes on
all luXurieS and near luXuries.
If the recommendations are
followed, then a tax of 10 cents
per gallon would be placed on all
wholesale dealers in gasoline.
Tax on tobaCcos, cigarettes and
alcoholic beverages be doubled.
A tax of 50 per cent be placed
on retail price of jewelry.
A license tax of SIS to $50 on
autos.
A Is per cent tax on his wages
is recommended where one male
servant is employed; but each
family could employ one female
servant without paying an inter
nal revenue tax. The desire
would be to stamp out "funkeys,
and make them work at some.
thing that would help in winning
the war. 1t would tax all mems
suits selling for over $50; on
dresses over $50; WOmen'S suits
over $40; hats over $40, shoes
over Sc.
Soft drinks, chewing gum and
such things would be heavily tax
ed.
Picture shows would be taxed
double to the present tax.
And SO if these recommended.
ions should be made a law, it is
evident that it is going to cost a
great deal more for the luxur
iously inclined to live. But they
should worry. The war must be
won and it requires money tc
continue the fight.
