1 less it wishes to confne it's delibera. tions to general questions of policy 1 it then proceeds to deal with qtns' tions awaiting it's decision. As these questions, in the vast rajOrity of cases affect one or more of the ad- pnin trative departments, almost all its meetings are attended by the min isters and their chief departmental officials concerned.
 "The majority of the sessions of tho War Cabinet consist, therefore, of series fl meetings between mem berS of the War Cabinet and those responsible of executive action at at which questions of policy concern ing those departments are discussed and settled. Questions Of overlapp- ing or conflict between departments are determined and the general lines of policy thruout every branch of the administration coordinate! so as t. form part of a consistent war plan.
 Ministers who are now members of the War Cabinet are permitted to bring with them to the Cabinet meet ings experts from their own depart mcnts or from elsewhere and often do so when expert opinion IS needed to decided an important question.
 "In peace times, sessions of the British Cabinet were infrequent 5u, under war pressure this has changed. The War Cabinet has held 900 sessions in the past year"

No Gravel Road For Some Times

President l.. III. Fournet of the
Police Jury has received informa-
ton from the Government board
of issues, that they cannot permit
at this time, the issue and sale of
the three hundred thousand dollar
bonds voted by the parish, which
was sold some time ago, subject to
the approval of the board. This
refusal cancel the sale of the bonds,
end the parish will have to wait
until the war is over before the
bonds can be sold at prices that
will be advantageous to the parish.
We believe that as it may be
some time before the gravel can
be secured. it might be of some
advantage to straighten and level
some of the roads, giving the peo-
pie good dirt roads and at the
same time preparing the founda-
ton for the gravel. This would
be a saving to the people and to
the parish when the time for lay
ing the gravel would come.

Fate of Man Who Destroyed the
Lusitania.e

The London Times says that infor-
nation recently made available makes
i POSSIBLE to describe the fate Of the
German submarine commander who
sank the Lusitania in May, 1915. His
name is Schweiger and his rank cap
tain lieutenant In September, 1917,
he commanded the U-88, not the sub
marine he commanded when he sank
the Lusitania. The U-S8 was proceed
ing on voyage from a German port
in company with another submarine,
and as their escort left them both sub
marines submerged, when the COM
mander of the U-88's companion sub
marine found his boat hampered by q
heavy chain. He concluded from this
and other sounds that they were in the
middle of a British mine field recently
laid without the knowledge of the
Germans.
Shortly afterward the German com
mander of the U-38's companion boat
while still submerged, felt a yer!
heavy explosion near him. He cam
to the surface, which he was compelle,
to do as being his only chance of safe
ty, and tried to get in touch with tn
U-88 by means of submarine signal
and wireless. He got no reply an
: the U-88 never has been heard Q
since. There is no doubt that Captai
Lieutenant Schweiger and his Who'll
crew perished in this way

Assurance having been given that
the legislation will receive immediate
consideration on the ass sembling of The
House and the Senate this office, in it's
preliminary instructions sent out to
draft executives in the various States
has proceeded on the assumption that
the new registration might be held
early in September. If, for example,
the bill is passed by August 81 or soon
thereafter, it would be necessary for
the Presidents proclamation to fix a
registration date as soon as possible
allowing ample time for posting his
proclamation in every region of the
| country. Thus registration day might
be as early as September 5, or shortly
thereafter. To have the first install
| ment of the new Class l ready fol
| camp by October it would be necessary
to have the registration not later than
the 18th. In any event, it is obvious
that we cannot wait until the act is
passed before beginning the prelim-
mary work.
ENTIRELY aside from the powers the
new law may confer on the govern
ment it is essential that the public
shall accord the fullest measure of
cooperation and the War Department
has implicit confidence that the re-
! sronse Of the men who will be requir-
/ ed to register under the new law WI
be as patriotic and as complete as thu,
which marked the re gistration on June
5, 1917. Fundamentally the processes
of the selective draft rests upon the
principle of heroic sacrifice that has
made the American army in this wal
an establishment faithful to the bes
traditions of the American people
! Now, as in the previous registration
the manhood Of America is to b,
given opportunity to demonstrate it
undying loyalty to the republic an,
to manifest its faith in those princi
. pies Of free government for which tn

ABOUT MARKETING
POTATOES
To the Editor of The Robesonian:


You might say that the opinion of
the potato people at Wilmington, also
the northern potato representative at
Wilmington, is that we should not put
the crop on the market just yet, as thu,
South Carolina old-belt crop is COM
ing on now and it will be out of the
way in 10 days or less.
Where the crop is fully matured and
the vines have died down, they might
dig and store in cool and ventilated
houses few days. Growers at Viii
mington say they will do this where
they want to get the potatoes off the
land for other crops.
Grading must be properly done and
by the new U. S. grading rules, to b
| sold on any of the large markets.
