DELIVERY PROBLEM
TO BE REFERRED TO
FOOD ADMINISTRATOR

At the meeting Of the Business
Mems Credit Association, at the
Wilmington Hotel last night, the
committee to inquire into the mat
fer OF delivery of food reported and
it was determined that as the replies
came in from the merchants, giving
their views on the proposition, they
should be turned over to Russell
Brown, food administrator for Car
ter County and that it be left to him
to make the next move. So far as
the reports have been received
there is a wide diversity Of opinion
as to the cost OF delivery. A com
mittee was appointed to inquire into
the matter of delivery Of goods
other than food.
Meetings are TO be held, aternat-
ing with the bi-weekly membership
meetings, to be attended by the
credit men, the representatives Of
each firm handling its credits. These
meetings are to be executive and
what is transacted there will not be
given 10 the public
The pay-up campaign was dis
cussed and the work OF preparation
for it was found to be we'll under
way. 1t will be undertaken during
May and will not be started until
everything is in readiness. All the
advertising, every plan, will be
mapped out so that when the work
begins it will move along like piece
of well-oiled machinery This pay
up campaign is not to be misunder-
stood as move to collect bad debts,
Secretary Paul B. Smith explained,
but is to put on its feet and thor
oughly establish a method of doing
business that shall be Uniform and
in fact, be putting the city on a
cash basis, ii a man goes TO a mer-
chant and makes arrangements to
buy goods and pay for them weekly
bi-weekly or monthly it means that
the bills are to be paid at that time
and the credit IS extended under this
kind of contract as a matter OF con-
venience and, accommodation and
does not mean that the customer
must depend upon the dealer to
finance him by carrying accounts
for an indefinite period. 1t is the
business of banks, he said, to dc
that. But it is expected to carry
this campaign to such a point that
the people making contract to
purchase goods to be paid for at a
specified time will realize that thi:
account is coming due with the
promptness of a note subject to pro-
test in a bank and will be met in
like manner. This is the purpose oi
the campaign.

London. April 9.-In the first
days OF the great batll, the Ger
mans attacked with % divisions zap
proximatey 100000 mem, Premier
Lloyd George told the house today.
They were relying on the idea that
the allies had no united command
and expected to divide the French
and British armies.
At one time OF the battle the stu
alton was critical. The e2emy broke
through between the third and
fifth armies. The situation retrieved
by the magnificent conduct OF the
troops, which retired. bu, were not
routed
The forecast regarding probable
enemy attacks made by General Sir
Henry Wilson, chief OF the imperial
staff, was characterized BY the pre-
mier as the most remarkable ever
made.
In opening the battle. he CON
tinued, the Germans had an excep-
tional advantage in the weather
which was windy and misty. They
had organized their troops to pro
duce a greater rumber o. divisions
and had the advantage OF the initia-
tive with the consequent knowledge
as to the width, strength aud di-
mensions of the attack.

Washington, April 9,-The first
official indication that the govern

loan came today in a treasury state
ment asking that the country sub
scribe three or four times that
amount and furnish 20,0G0,0O0 sub
scriberS, double the number OF the
second loan.
The statement, authorized by Sec
retary McAdoo from Raleigh, n. {.
where he spoke today said
Let us not stop when We have
reached our quota. Let us go for
ward and make the quota three or
four times as great, ii it is possible
10 do it, and lei us at the same time
make the number Of subscribers to
these bonds three times as great as
it was before. There is no answer
that will carry such discouragement
to the enemies oil America and OF
civilization as that 2O0O0,000 Ameri-
can citizens have subscribed this
time for Liberty bonds.
I'VE can get the 100000 sub

make up our minds to it. If we do
this, it will mean that we shall have
