Ostend was attacked this time are not
clear. The British developed heavy ar.

but this was obviously to distract atten-
ton.
The enemy opened fire at 245 from
the sea on our batteries The fog was
developed few minutes later. Two cruis-
ers were sighted in the fog east of Ostend
at o'clock and our batteries opened a
wellaimed fire.

to Minimum.

WASHINGTON, May l3-Seizure of
wheat remaining from last years crop
and not yet on the market is expected to
take place at the hands of the government
this week. This method will be resorted
to only IN instances in which owners of
grain decline to dispose voluntarily of their
holdings The belief is expressed that on
ly in comparatively few instances will it
be found necessary to resort to harsh
measures to bring about the marketing
Of the grain
For more than two weeks the farmers
have been selling their wheat at $500 a
bushel at the suggestion of government
agents. So lar as known sales have been
made voluntarily in every instance.
Reports received at the capital from the
farming sections of the West relative to
the prospect for the years wheat crop are
OF an increasingly optimistic tone. Tn
usual precautions are being taken in the
wheat belt to prevent the appearance Of
rusts and blights which will reduce the
yield
Statements made by officials of the de-
partment Of agriculture strengthen the
hope OF a crop of 900,000,o 900 to 1000, o0O-
900 bushels, which is the largest wheat
crop estimate ever made by the govern
ment.
The prospect of large crop does not
reduce the necessity for the immediate
marketing of the rest of the crop of last
year, it is said Only by prompt action
IN tins respect, government officials de-
clare, can the country avoid still more
drastic restrictions on the use of bread
and the employment of greater amount
of bread substitutes than have been found
necessary so far.
The waste Of wheat has been reduced
to minimum by the food administration
through penalties and punishments lev
led in instances of violations OF the food
regulations wherever they have come to
light. State food administrators are being
urged to maintain strict lookout for in
Judgements Of the regulations aud to ap-
ply penalties in every case where fragrant

Namea and Amounts,

The publication of the names of sub
scribers to the third Liberty loan, to-
gether with the amounts subscribed by
each, would have increased the aggre-
gate subscriptions throughout this
section.
The Enquirer would have been glad
to contribute the space necessary for
such publications; but 1t could not get
the necessary information.
The question came up at the begin
ming Of the campaign.
81 have some subscribers who don't
want their names published" said one
banker, "but II the others give you
the names Of their subscribers. I am
going to give you the names OF mine
too"
In conference with two other bank
ers, the editor of The Enquirer saw a
decided reluctance to the idea Of pub
fishing either names or amounts, and
as 1t was evident that full information
could not be secured, 1t was decided
to go ahead with the names only.
II Is not pleasant to go against the
wishes of anybody in a matter like
this: but we want 1t distinctly under
stood that we were in favor Of pub
fishing both names and amounts. and
would have done so II we could have
secured the information. In the case
of the next loan. which will probably
be made next fall. the only thing that
will keep US from publishing names

A. r. PRESBYTERY

The spring meeting Of the First
presbytery Of the Associate Reformed
church was held in Lancaster on
Tuesday and Wednesday.
The meeting was called to order by
Rev. b. G. PRESLEY Of Hickory Grove
and Smyrna, who preached the Open
ing sermon.
The only business out Of the usual
routine that was considered. was the
question Of dividing the First presby-
terry into two presbyteries to be sepa-
rated by the North and South Caro-
lima state line. There has been feel
ing for some time that the First pres
bytery, the largest in the synod. Is too
large for the convenience of a ma
jorlty of Its members, and although
the question of division has been
pending for quite a while, the matter
had not been previously pressed to an
issue.
Practically all OF the South Carolina
members Of the presbytery were In ia
vor OF division; but the Charlotte
churches and q number Of other North
Carolina churches were opposed. The
vote resulted In favor OF division, Al
to "a.
The question now goes up to synod
for acceptance or rejection. II synod
give names to the two divisions Of the
prGsbytery.
The next meeting of the presbytery
will be held at Kings Mountain, in
the fall, with Rev. J. Walter Simpson
OF Charlotte, as moderator.
