Wheat.-It has been announced by
the Food Administrator that the 1918
wheat crop will be handled on differ
entail basis, effective July 1, whereby
maximum differential Of S1.1O barrel
between the price Of wheat and the
finished product will be allowed to MILL
ers No speculation in wheat or -four
will be allowed. Announcement as to
the new price of wheat has not yet been
made, but is expected within few
days. The weather over southwest sec
tions Of the belt continued favorable
for harvesting, and the Inglis report,
which gave Kansas 100,000,000 bushels,
was about in line with trade expecta-
tions and a little above the state esti-
mate some time ago. The movement
continues light, and for two days this
week is about 100000 bushels less than
q week ago.
Corn.-Effo orts to depress the price Of
corn, although aided by splendid
weather and an easier tone to cash mar
kets, met with little success, and the
market closed quite strong at net ad
vance Of Ac to 1ssc, being practically
at the highest point of the day. Shorts
supplied good deal of the demand, but
there was also buying by cash houses
and commission people on the light
country offerings and the fact that the
Southwest markets were stronger.
Inglts reported the Kansas crop only
six inches to knee high, with poor
stand and weedy. The movement thus
far has fallen behind the previous
yesterday the prospect for smaller re-
ceipts encouraged support and led to
uneesiness among shorts.

Government Asked to Purchase and
Sell Seed to Farmers


If normal production Of the nations
food and feed crops is to be had this
year, prompt action to protect the seed
supplies is necessary. Secretary Hous-
ton warned Congress Thursday in
asking for an urgent deficiency ap-
preparation for government purchase
and sale of seed to farmers at cost.
There is urgent and immediate
need for at least 100000 and it is
probable that an additional sum will
be required in the near future" said
the Secretary. "The seed situation pre-
sents many difficulties. Two general
areas have suffered severely from
| drought during the past season-the
| southwest, including large part of
| Texas and part Of Oklahoma, and a
! considerable portion Of the northwest,
including large sections of North Da-
kota and eastern Montana. These re-
gions represent large part of the grain
producing areas Of the United States
The seed corn situation in the northern
half Of the corn belt is more serious
than it has been for many years."
The secretary said it is important
that adequate seed supplies Of soy
beans and white or navy beans be
available for the next planting sea.

Admiral Fletcher and Gen. Sibert Re

Washington Dispatch, Jan. 4.
Further proof of the sweeping char
acter of the powers vested in the COM
mander-in-chief of the American nav
al and military forces in Europe has
been disclosed in connection with the
return to this country of Rear Admir-
al VIM. B. Fletcher, former head of
the naval forces in French waters, and
Major General VIM. L. Sibert, who
commanded the first American troops
sent to France.
Confirmation was given today to
reports that Admiral Fletcher had
been replaced by Rear Admiral Will
son because Vice Admiral Sims felt
that the latter officer was better fit
ted for the particular duties imposed
| by the post. Similarly it is under
stood, although there was no formal
announcement from the war depart
ment, that the return of Gen. Sibert
was due to Gen. Pershing's conclusion
that the arduous task Of training E
division in France could be performed
better by another officer.

returns to await assignment to duty

regard to his attitude toward the war.
He has been criticised by this and 9TH
er papers for some remarks he made
at Charlotte last May, remarks which |
were not violently patriotic, to say the
least Prof. Williams has never made |
any explanation of or reference to
those published remarks, but at a
gathering of university alumni in Dur
ham the other night he said that 1.-The
day after this war started | remark
ed to friend that the Kaiser might
just as well pack his grip for st. Hell
ena"; and he gave reasons for the
faith that is in him. "Absolutism,"
he said, "has not won great struggle
in twenty centuries, and in each of its
historic defeats the world has agreed
that in the defeat Of absolutism civ
ilization won" Quoting further from
his remarks as reported in the Green's
boro Daily News:
1.-THE doctrine of freedom was first
stated by Jesus of Nazareth. The ulti-
mate unit of value is not the syna
gogue, nor the Roman empire, nor So
ciety, nor the sacred traditions Of Je
rusalem; the ultimate unit of value is
a man. Even the Sabbath day was
made for man. Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as myself. Thou shalt love
God with all thy heart. Jesus bas
ed this philosophy upon the statement
that man is not a slave, but a child of
God.
"This was new philosophy. 1t had
no friends and no organization. Its
power was not in machinery, but in
| life, in the life Of an individual. 1t
was handpicking process.
eff a blade of grass grows according
to the law Of it's own life, and not &C
cording to the botanist and his book;
if an apple tree has in itself the pow
er and law Of its growth and harvest;
if nature everywhere is the source OF
it's orderly behavior; how much more
shall men, the highest expression OF

the rock and the blade Of grass? The
evidence is conclusive. Democracy
freedom is lodged in the structure Of
life, in the very nature Of the uni

TO WIN THE WAR THIS YEAR.

III WIN 1dh w AN lHlO LAW
David Lawrence, writing from
Washington to the Greensboro Daily
News, under date Of January 8, says
that in a nutshell the war situation
liz this: "America has the men and will
gladly furnish them-if the Allies will
supply the tonnage" and that lone
million American troops in France by
June l or July is not impossible Of
accomplishment, provided the ships
are available" In order to get Amer
lean manpower to Europe, Great Brit
ain and France will tighten their belts
and sacrifice to the limit. The idea
has been that America could not place
a great army in France before the
spring of 1919, but the stern reality
is faced now that it must be done in
1918 or never, that the war is to be
won or lost this year, that the big Of
fensive is not to be delayed until 1919.
Quoting further from the dispatch re-
ferred to above:
"To shorten the war and to win it.,
all effort, therefore, is to be concen-
trated on 1918, and that involves, pri-
marily, conservation by the Ameri-
can people unparalleled in history and
pinching by the British and French
peoples"
1.-THE United States has already sent
more men to France in the last nine
months than have ever been transport
ed over such long distance before in
the history of the world" the article
continues, "but America could have
sent even more men had it not been
necessary to supply the Allies with
food. And the Entente early in the
war expressed it's preference for food
and supplies and said men were Sec
ondary."
But the collapse Of Russia has al.
tered the program. That releases l.,

German prisoners in Russia, for ser
