Arthur Woods Flies
Higher Than Mitchell

When Major John Purroy Mitchell,
New York's former Mayor, meets Ar
thur Woods, his Police Commissioner,
the Mayor will be the first to salute
from now on. His recent subordinate
is now his superior officer.
Mr.. Woods has been commissioned a
lieutenant colonel in the aviation sec
ton Of the Signal Corps, it was an
nounced in dispatches from Washing
ton last night. He has accepted the
appointment and expects to report for
work in Washington tomorrow or
Tuesday,
The former Commissioner has been
with the Bureau of Public Informa-
ton, and it was understood that he
was to direct American propaganda in
foreign countries. He said last night
that General Squier, chief signal Of
hcer of the army, had asked him to
join the Signal Corps some time ago.
but that he had made previous ar
rangements with George Cree, chair
man of the Bureau Of Public Informa-
ton.
Several efforts were made to have
Mr.. Woods transferred, and on Friday
night authority was received to per-
nit him to resign. 1t is understood
that General Squier's eagerness to
have him in the Signal Corps is due in
large part to his administrative record
as Police Commissioner of New York
City.
Lieutenant Colonel Woods is one of
the few civilians to receive an appoint
ment to the army with a rank higher
than major. When Mayor Mitchell at
the end of his term, applied for a com
mission he was made a major in the
aviation section. and is now in Cali
tornia learning to fly.

II would not be worthy OF position

Such is the statement made yester-
day by Ellery c. Stowell, in explaining
his resignation as associate professor
Of international law at Columbia Uni
versity to his critics in the faculty who
had made repeated objections to his
frequent opinions on international law
in the public press. Recognized as a

ton, Professor Stowells views have

resignation, until q brief statement by
Nicholas Murray Butler that the moot

in no wise involved was shown to him.
Professor Stowell declined to mention

of the difficulties of TRANSPORT.
Shipping Obtained
Steamers to carry wnea, for Switzer-
land finally have been obtained from
the Northern European neutrals. who,
at first, refused to furnish vessels, even
though the German government had
established safety lanes leading to
Cette, the Swiss free port in France.
At one time it looked as if the Unit
ed States, to keep its promise to the
Swiss, would have to cut down wheat
shipments to the Allies, or else ship
some of its own badly needed stores,
but the corn embargo, it was declared
tonight. would make unnecessary for
the present either Of these measures.
Several of the South American coun-
tries have on hand large quantities Of
wheat, but it has been more profitable
for them to ship corn because OF the
high price it is bringing now in the
United States and in the allied coun-
tries Although wheat prices have been
Tut under definite control. no measures
have been taken to stabilize those of
corn.
More Corn for Allies
Within the next month the United
States will increase measurably its own
exports os corn to the allies, and will
cut down on wheat shipments. Special
arrangements have been made for nov
ing daily to seaboard 500 900 to 100000
bushels of corn daily FOR shipment
Most of the Chilean wheat surplus
this year will go to Central America.
under arrangements just completed
here with the War Trade Board, and
wheat that the United States had in
tended to supply to the Central Ameri
can countries will go to Europe in
stead. Chilean producers have on hand
some 100000 tons of wheat ready for
export as soon as ships are found to
move it. Until last year Chile grew
little more wheat than was needed for
home consumption, but higher prices
during the last two years have stmu-
lated production.

THEY CANNOT WIN.

This mornings news from the bat
tie front in Europe, where the great
est battle in the greatest war Of the
worlds history is in progress, is more
cheering. The British are holding
their own and the ground they have
yielded is in accordance, we are told
in press dispatches, with plans they
made long before the great offensive
was begun by the Germans last Thurs
day. Even in this most terrible Of all
wars the fighting since Thursday has
been the most desperate ever known
but the Allies are confident and mill
tary observers at Washington believe
that this is desperate venture on TIE
part of the German high command
made necessary by demands Of the
people at home for peace.
1t was to be expected that tie Ger.
mans would make some gains wher
such a desperate offensive was begun
but this is a time to tie to the unshak
able confidence that the German beast
cannot win. 1t is a time to remember
too, that we at home must fight viii

gleness of purpose as the soldiers a

cpen for employment of this kind
should be asked to register in the

may call to their assistance. Then
all who want to employ help can go
to the mayors Office, and there be di-
rected to the proper parties who have
registered for work. If those who
have registered are all engaged and
The work is urgent, let the towns team

that a comprehensive scheme Of this

save the unnecessary loss of much
valuable time that is being spent IN

HOME GARDENING.
A Suggestion to Help in This Import
Ia, ant Work.
To the Editor of The Rohesoni.

To the Editor of The Robesonian:
Home gardening should be subject
of serious thought and study by every
body at this season of the year. Espe-
cially is this so when food is growing
scarcer and prices looming higher all
the time. Home gardening can be
made to reduce the high cost of liv-
ing to a surprising and certainly
highly gratifying extent. Foodstufs
are needed just as much as soldiers
and ammunition for national defense.
To cultivate garden is well-recog
niZed patriotic duty-an act of ma
tional IS well as of Individual benefit.
Every vegetable grown in our home
gardens lessons the demand upon the
growers for foodstuffs needed bv oll,,
soldiers and cur Allies.
Staple foods are now scarce ana
tie prices are the highest on record
y ldcr such conditions, vegetables thar
can be eaten green, or that can be
dried or canned should be raised in
abundance about every home. Fresh
crisp vegetables are desirable for i'm
provement of the general health Of
people. They contain high percent
ages of mineral matter needed by the
human body. So, there are subjective
as well as objective reasons why every
home should have garden with thu
greatest possible abundance and va
riety of vegetables.
There are few vacant lots il
town. Most of them have been en-
gagged for garden work. During thes
strenuous times our townspeopl
should receive every impetus and al
possible encouragement in the produc

that there are some families in tow

not financially able to hire team t

CANTEEN SERVICE FOR
SAMMIES IN FRANCE
Red Cross To Serve Boys In Tho Front
Line Trenches

The American Red Cross has just
arranged to establish with the Ameri-
can troops in France front line can
teen service similar to that through
which they have served more than
million poilus with hot drinks during
the last six months, according to a
cable just received by the War Coun-
Gil from Major James H Perkins, Red
Cross Commissioner to France
This will consist of rolling canteens
stationed close behind the front line
trenches. There are now fifteen of
these operating behind the French
lines, from which fifty or more large
receptacles Of hot drinks are sent for
ward daily, usually in the small hours
OF the morning. These drinks are
served free to the men going on OF
coming off duty.
This service has proven Of such
value to the French that the Ameri.
can army has asked the Red Cross to
have this service directly in touch
with the medical relief stations near
est the front. The work is often done
under heavy shell fire and requires
men Of great bravery and sympathy.
The American army officers are man.
ifesting a keen interest in having this
service at the disposal Of the American
troops and have asked the Red Cross
to enlist a substantial number of mer
OF the highest caliber to undertake
this work. It will be performed at the
point nearest the firing line at which
civilians are permitted.

RED CROSS TO collect
CLOTHING FOR BELGIUM
Hoover Asks Davison's Aid n Worn
OF Relief

Beginning March IS and ending
March 25, seven day, nationwide
campaign will be carried ON by the
American Red Cross and the
Commission for Relief In Bel
gium to secure minimum
quantity OF 5000 tons of clothes
for the destitute people of Belgium
and the occupied portions of Northern
France. At the request of Herbert
Hoover, chairman of the Commission
for Relief in Belgium, Henry P. Davi-
son, chairman Of the Red Cross War
Council, has granted the use Of the ma
tional Red Cross organization for COL
lecting the needed clothing.
AS the commission has allowed most
of it's local committees to disband be-
cause Of the financial arrangements
made last June with the government,
it has turned to the Red Cross for
help. Where the local committees Of
the Relief Commission are still intact,
they will work side by side with the
Red Cross Chapters.
The practically entire exhaustion of
clothing, shoes, and leather in occupied
Belgium and Northern France and the
! shortage of these necessities in the
worlds markets are making it in
creasingly difficult for the Commission
to keep clothed and shod the unfortun-
ate people in these territories. In ad-
dition to new material, gifts of used
and surplus clothing, shoes, blankets,
flannel cloth, etc, are needed in large
quantities from the people of the Unit
ed States.
The donations will be shipped at
once to the Atlantic seaboard and sent
overseas for distribution.
