Raleigh.-In continuation of the
fight by Raleigh shippers for a read
justment of the freight rates in North

Der of commerce has authorized Sec-
rotary Beaman to place the matter be-
fore the officials of the federal rail-
road district at Atlanta. Mr.. Beaman
will go to Atlanta to submit the snip

The agitation for a readjustm mt Of
the freight rates was started some
time ago by the Raleigh Chamber Of
Commerce for the purpose of getting
proper rates which would allow the
shippers of this State to market their
products in South Carolina and other
South Atlantic cities at rates below
those from Virginia cities to the same
points. At the present, the shippers
of North Carolina pay the same rates
as Virginia shippers.

USE RYE AND SOY BEANS
Agricultural Department Urges Use
Of Rye and Soy Beans as Sub
stitutes for Wheat.

Rale1gh.-Going step beyond his
request to dealers to refrain from fur
her purchases of flour from outside
The state, State Food Administrator
Henry A. Page has called upon the
hotels, restaurants, bakeries and in
stitutiOns of North Carolina to substi-
ute for wheat flour to as large an ex-
;ent as possible rye flour and soy bean
-four. County food administrators in
at least two North Carolina cities
have declared that the best bread on
and the food administration has sent
to all bakeries and other large users
list of North Carolina mills which can
supply rye -four.
Soy bean -four is included in the
list of cereal substitutes which may
be purchased with wheat flour and is
being used in large quantities in some
sections. i One North Carolina mill
three weeks ago had shipped 1000
barrels of soy bean flour to northern
cities for use in bakeries, hotels, and
restaurants and had contra cted for
the delivery of 400 tons more. North
Carolina produces more soy beans
than any other state in the union, and
should be a pioneer in the consump-
ton as well as the production of this
product, according to the food admin
lstratiOn.
Rye -four and particularly soy bean
-four are both produced in North Car
DINA and their use would relieve the
transportation situation to a consider
able extent. In addition, rye -four
and particularly soy bean -four are
considerably cheaper than wheat
-four. Rye flour is just as nutritious
as wheat flour and soy bean flour con-
tains more nutriment, pound for
pound, than wheat or even beef

Baptist Seaside Assembly Closed.

Closing a day earlier
than was contemplated on account of
the big patriotic celebration, the
fourth annual session of the Baptist
Seaside assembly ended with a strong
patriotic address by DR.. Curtis Lee
Laws, editor of The Waterman Exam
liner, of New York. He discussed the
blessings arising from the war, de-
claring that one Of the most promi-
nent had been the consciousness
aroused in the American people of
their se1fisbness.
The sacrifices already made have
brought about spirit of service such
as was not thought possible a year
ago. DR.. Laws made a strMng address
this morning at the conference of pas
tors showing the important field that
the religious paper occupies. The sec
ular paper too often places little en-
phasis on it's religious department, he
stated, assigning this work to mex
perienced reporters, while skilled men
are employed to write sports. He de-
fined the three functions of distinct

Operations in LowTands Near Mouth

The British front east of Amiens, on

Somme river, seems to be the storm
center of the battle front in France.
Here the Australians, assisted by
American detachments, surged for
ward on July and drove the Germans
out. of the village of Hamel and the
Vairc and Hamel woods, to the south,
at the same time launching second
airy attack on the German positions
u orth of the Somme. Since that time
the lines before Amiens have been
very active.
The Germans have been rspulsed in
attempt to retake the village of Hamel
and the wooded positions of the Aus
tralians further south. The British
official report says that the enemy
was stopped easily but the Germans
claim to have checked the British
forces east of Hamel and to have
thrown them back to their original
lines at Villers-Bretonneux.
With the exception Of aerial COM
bats the American front has been
calm.
The German official statement tells
of British attack in the Ypres region,
adding that these assaults were re-

neighborhood reported from London.
don.
In the meantime the French have
been content to hold and consolidate
their new positions near Moulin-SOus-
Totent and Autreches, northwest Of
scissors, where in two recent French
attacks the Germans suffered severe
casualties and lost many prisoners.
The French war office says that dur
ing the past day there has been
heavy artillery firing in the neigh
borhoods of Outry and Mont Colbert,
which is on the front southwest Of
scissors, where the French won
ground by dashing attack last week.
Italian forces operating in the low
lands near the mouth of the Piave
