Very good authorities here, how
ever, read into The presidents sus-
eestions the very same idea.
In fact they say that the United
States never had any tdea of having
an armisticn, that did not commit The
Germans by accredited agents to the
non-resun1ption of arms after the
white flag of the truce bearer had
been admitted within the allied ana
American lines. That was SO in the
case of Bulgaria Ia which the presi-
! dents hand was seef. II is SO in the
case of Turkey. alt though tho Emitted
States was not-at War with Turkey

WINTER WHEAT CAMPAIGN

The United States Department of
Agriculture has announced its plan
for n Liberty Wheat Harvest in 1919.
The States of Virginia, North and
South Carolina are asked to increase
their acreage in winter wheat 10 per
cent over acreage of 1917.
While wheat is not a commercial
crop in Eastern North and South Car
olina counties, there is hardly a coun-
ty- in the Coastal Plain section where
the crop is not grown successfully in
a limited way. During the past sea-
son the acreage was considerably in
creased. Many farmers have suffi-
cient wheat for home use.
When the present price of flour and
the probability that it cannot be pur-
chased at any price, as the war ad
vances, are considered, all farmers
should appreciate the Importance of
making preparations for producing a
sufficient amount Of wheat to supply
the entire amount needed for home
consumption.
If you are going to SOW wheat do
not sow in the spring. It. is waste
of seed. The safest policy is to have
everything in readiness to seed i'm 5.

st. Louis on Friday they were made
victims of an act of German trcach
cry which has been investigated by
army authorities. AS the New York

Germans came out Of their hiding
places with uplifted hands and were
supposed to have surrendered When
the Americans came nearer the Ger
mans suddenly dropped their hands
and seizing hand grenades, threw
them with deadly effect, killing and
wounding a number of the New York

The survivors retrcated and told the
story. Then more New York troops
went forward. They were armed with
flame throwers and gas projectors and
filled the village with flames and gas
until not single German escaped.

FOOTBALL GAMES TODAY

New York, Nov. 16.-The most
pretentious football games of the
season to date is mapped out for
the eastern college elevens to-day.
This city will be the scene of two
special contests for the benefit of
the United War Work fund in
which Princeton will meet the
Camp Upton eleven at the Polo
grounds, while across the river in
Brooklyn, Rutgers and the Great
Lakes Naval Training Station team
will compete.
Among the all college contests
the annual meeting of Pennsyl-
vania and Pittsburgh at Pitts
burgh is the outstanding feature.
A closely contested match is ex-
pected with the Pittsburgh eleven
a slight favorite in view of its
undefeated record both this sea-
son and during the past three
years.
other games include Columbia
and Wesleyan at New York; Navy
and Ursinus at Annapolis; Lafay-
ette vs. Franklin and Marshall at
Easton; Penn State and Lehigh at
State College; Fordham and Bos-
ton College at Boston; Maine and
Colby at Waterville, Me-; Andover
and Exeter. at Andover. Mass; and

Tarsus School of Gymnastics and

game of series for the city cham

have been practicing hard and q
good game is expected.
West End held a scrimmage yes
terday afternoon under the direc-
ton of Coaches SPOTS and Cless.
All the weak spots in the team have
been strengthened. Hoffman, a
halfback, has returned to the team.
He was out of last weeks game on
account of a death in his family.
Tarsus held a long signal practice
in their gymnasium last evening un-
der the direction of manager
Schreadly. Meek and Enker, who
were out of the lineup with injuries
have returned and will be in to-
days game.
Both teams have excellent rec
ords for this season and represent
the best amateur talent. in the city.
They are also the leading teams of
this city, althous. here are several
other teams in town too light to be
considered contenders for the cham
pionship.
The next game of the series will
probably be played on November 80.

A Demon At Night
They are equipped with a 1917 SER

used. as a Boche would not get near
enough to have his stomach tickled
with a bayonet when those buckshot
were ratified against his anatomy.
For night work the trench gun is of
inestimable value in digging out
marauders in mo Mans Land" The
trench gun will never supplant the
service rifle in warfare. but as a
short range emergency gun. they are
making their mark in the present
war. Every man so equipped be-
comes a rapid fire gun, efficient at
$50 yards and most effective when
raiding the trenches of the Huns.
Shooting 400 bullets per minute from
each gun. an advance against this
solid wall of lead would be an utter
impossibility, as the reserves would
be unable to climb over the winrows
of dead left by the sdvance sectors.
The secret would be to shoot low at
close range, giving the bullets
chance to ricochet. Major General
Franklin Bell. dislodged the Philip
pine Islanders from the tall grass
with riot guns loaded with smaller
shot.
Yanks Are Natural Marksmen
Native born Americans are natural
marksmen. Very little training and
instruction along the shooting lines

father like son." Shooting ability is
an inherited accomplishment handed
down from generation to generation,
the art may be neglected and remain
dormant for decades; the latent flame
of ability may then be famed into
immediate life either by necessity or
inclination in a very limited time. n

boys in shooting is frequently men
toned by the foreign military auth
critics. This ability to shoot under
the whip is due to the fireside pre-
cepts OF their ancestors. When the

cation of expert riflemen the world

by our Allies.
