this afternoon followed withdrawal
of it's buyers from all markets by the
Imperial Tobacco Company and was
considered due in part to the low
prices being paid The Imperial late
fIcay notified market officials that
they would not be on sales again un-
til further notice.
Mr.. Allen said more than one mil
Ion pounds of tobacco was on
floors Of Henderson warehouses in
readiness for the start of the season
on Monday. 1t apparently was the
biggest single days break in the mar
ket's history.
Due to uncertainty of selling, some
growers began this afternoon to
withdraw their tobacco to take it
back to their barns. Decision of the
Raleigh meeting to permit the Mid
Ole Belt to operate three days next
week to clear all warehouse floors
was expected to stop this withdrawal.
however,
A meeting Of Middle i>2lt ware
housemen was held in Henderson
Friday afternoon to protest shorten
ing OF the sales day from seven hours
to six hours, and a resolution was
drawn expressing the intention of
the belt to continue operation on a
seven-hour day basis until the mar
ket had run as long as the Eastern
North Carolina belt had already run
on the longer day basis.
A meeting OF Eastern Carolina
W,arehoousemen in Rocky Mount
Thursday night had decided on the
six-hour day.
RESOLUTIONS of the Middle Belt
group expressed what was consid-
cred the unfairness of a plan to cut
Gown warehouses in this territory
after the eastern markets had al
ready run nearly three weeks on
the longer basis. The resolution said
tne WarehOusemen thought they had
sacrltlced enough already in the
delay OF their opening for two sales
Gays from Thursday, September Z.

Local tobacco men learned
through w. B. Daniel, Middle Belt
warehouse president, of the de-
clslon of the Imperial to withdraw.
and gave rise to immediate snec,1,

IN the offing. 1t was definitely de-
clded upon today in Raleigh. How
long it will last was not known

she continued to get troops ready to
reinforce the steady French drive
on Germany's western front.
The government announced last
night the nation would use its belli-
gerent rights 'to the full' to prevent
war supplies from reaching Ger
many. 1t added that energetic steps
are being taken to halt what the
communique describes as "Germany's
ruthless submarine Warfare.''
Also the royal navy and the royal
air force, Britain's oldest and newest
armed services, struck boldly in the
first week of the war
From flood of fficial communi-
queS, guarded statements by neutral
observers and sly hint; from British
officials, the following British view
may be deduced:
1. Brittainia still rules the waves.
2. The tir force has worked in
close cooperation with the navy, as
we'll as doing valuable propaganda
work.
3. Disregarding for a moment the
German submarine warfare, it is
interesting to note the British under
sea fleet has not been idle.

Russia, Roumania and Yugoslavia for
Germany were secure.
Goering spoke at a munitions fac
tory in Berlin suburb. The speech
was broadcast throughout the nation.
"Only America remains for Bri-
tain," he said, ''but we can get along
without the United States as source
of raw supplies. If you do not be-
lieve we have raw materials, you
must agree that the Russians do have
them"
"The Germans and Russians are
not going to be so silly as to smash
each others heads for Britain, y
Goering added. Neither do Rou-
mania or Yugoslavia intend to get
smashed for Britain's sake"
The Nazi No. 2 man spoke slight
ingly Of Britain's 70-year-old Prime
Minister Chamberlain, comparing
him with Methuselah. He revealed
that the German eastern army is
composed of 70 divisions.
Goering again held out his hand
to France, repeating Hitler's many
times expressed statement that Ger
many wants nothing from France y
He disputed the theory that long
war is weakening to a nation, as
serting eve will emerge much stron-
ger" He added: eff necessary, we
! shall walk about in bathing trunks.
With Poland cleaned up and her
riches exploited for the Reich, the
entire Nazl force can be concentrate
ed on the western front, Goering said
He said he doubted whether "Britain
really wants to fight"

Red Cross
To Meet


A meeting of the local chapter
OF the American Red Cross was
called today by Mrs. E. R. Austin,
county chairman, to be held in the
auxiliary room of the First Pies
byterian church next Wednesday
afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. She said
the meeting would be very i'm
portant and concerned not only
members Of the chapter but the
community at large, though she did
.ot iaoOrate.
Mrs. Austin did say that the
local group would probably be
called upon to help supply bandages
and medical necessities for wounded
soldiers in the European war.
Information will be presented to
the meeting from Norman H. Davis,
national Red Cross chairman.
At meeting ten days ago, it was
stated that the red Cross group
would not be called further into
meeting until November, but the
emergency of the European war de-
veloped since that time.

Germany Never Licked?
There's some interesting state de-
partmental army and navy comment
in connection with the Nazi claim
;nat the Fatherland wasn't truly
licked in the last war-that what
happened was revolution at home
instead of a pro-ally victory.
This contention isn't at all hotly
disputed.
Plenty of good authorities are pre-
pared to admit that German arms
could have held their own almost
indefinitely if internal Germany
hadn't intolerably tired Of the kaiser
and if the kaiser hadn't scooted al
the psychological moment.
"But," query the critics, what as
Surance has Herr Hitler that Ger
mans generally won't tire of him
even sooner than they tired of the
kaiser?"
Wilhelm went into the war Of 1914
18 with an extremely solid Germany
behind him. All the evidence is that
Adolf has a formidable discontented
element to recokn with. He talks
about a 10year war. Wilhelm, with a
better-looking beginning couldn't
outlast four years.
Adolf suggests successors to him
self, if anything happens to him
Wilhelm didn't have to suggest any
successors. He had 'em hereditarily
scheduled. And his dynasty certain
~ seemed as firmly intrenched as
Adolf's does-more so, maybe, as be-
tween 1914 and 1889.
The surmise is that Adolf's regime

DTSCJ1SSED AT RALEIGH

Raleigh, Sept. 9-(AP)-J. 3. Hut
son, assistant administrator OF the
AAA in Washington, and tobacco in
dustry representatives discussed to-
day holding an immediate referen-
dunn on the 1910 flue-cured tobacco
crop, and other steps to aid tobacco
farmers.
"The first thing to do is to be de-
finite about the size Of the next
CROP" Hutson told between $50 and
200 farmers, agricultural leaders and
WarehouSemen meeting in emergency
session at N. C. State College. Il don't
think you can get much for your to-
bacco until you decide about next
years paintings. l make no promises
about what you'll get, even if you
vote control"
The meeting recessed for lunch
with a motion pending asking the
government to call an immediate re-
ferndum.
During the early afternoon, COM
mittee of eleven from the meeting
was to confer with HutSOn and j. S.
Ficklen, of Greenville, president Of
the Tobacco Association of the Unit
ed States about closing of all mar
kets temporarily.
The meeting went on record favor
ing closing all markets in South Car
olina, the Border and Eastern belts
not later than five o'clock Tuesday
afternoon, with Middle Belt markets
to close Wednesday afternoon after
opening for the first time Monday
Gov. Hoey kept in close touch
with the situation and arranged to
confer with a committee from the
meeting as soon as the group had any
thing definite to present him.
J. c. Eagles, of Wilson, made the
motion that the meeting go on rec
ord as favoring closing the markets,
and DR.. J. Y. Joyner, Of LAGRANGE,
seconded it. Eagles said that the
market was fright weak" back in
1914, when the Imperial Company
withdrew for two weeks.
w. E. Fenner, of Rocky Mount,
president Of the Eastern Carolina
Warehousemen's Association, said:
"The best thing I've heard is that
the Imperial has told one Of its SoutE
Carolina buyers to stop buying, but
to stay on the market"
Senator w. c.. Clark, of Tarboro,
remarked that tobacco farmers had
seen the returns from their crop cut
40 per cent last week in the face of
rapidly rising food prices"

Planes, Germs and Poison.
There's strong movement to
"humanize' this war, as they express
it, by an all-around agreement to bar
indiscriminate air bombings, the use
OF poison gas and the scattering of
disease germs.
I can see the sense in the argu-
ment that it's an unfair practice to
urop bombs from airplanes upon nom
combatants killing and naming
peaceful folk, including women and
innocent little children.
But assume that some other guy
is trying to kill you, and you're try
ing to kill him. What difference does
it make whether you kill him with
a bullet, chunk Of shrapnel, a lethal
gas, handful of anthrax microbes
rany other old way? Who cares
how he's killed, SO long as he's killed
Dead regardless?
Poisoning wells, for some reason,
always has been spoken of as dirty
form of warfare. l don't see why it's
any worse than killing a man with
a shotgun. It's homicide, in either
case.
