The occasions of his speaking tomorrow night at Buffalo and at New York City Thursday are counted of high est importance. ' Beneath an exterior of optomism, the President's lieutenants profess uneasiness at what they term "un precedented sum of money" now being dispensed by the Republicans "to check the tide" which has- re cently turned so swiftly and surely to Wilson. The Democrats say that the Re publican have at their disposal three times the sum of money that has come into' the Democratic treas urj, and that lack of funds is mak ing' it impossible for them to reply to Republican newspaper advertis ing. The President will return to Shadow Lawn Thursday night and will probably make his last speech at Shadow Lawn Saturday. It will be remembered that the following invitation wan sent to the Convention in Charlotte last De cember by telegram fromthe May or: "At a regular meeting of the Board of Aldrrmen of Elizabeth City the following resolution was duly passed by an unanimous vote: '.Upon motion, it is ordered by the.

NOT UNDER GOVERNMENT CHARTER British Government Officials and officials of the Donalsdson. line deny that the Marina was operating un der Government charter thereby pa taking of the cature of the' charac ter of an admiralty vessel subject to attack without warning. ' By H. B. ROBERTSON (United Press Staff Correspondent) Rio De Janeiro, Oct 15 (fly Mail) That young America is cast'ng a speculative eye on Brazil Is evident from the hundreds of letters re ceived by Amerlcins already estab lished here. " "What, 'are the chances for a young man, with lnrge ambition Jjut small bank account, in Brazil," he writes . The answer Is, "the chances in Brazil are very good if (and It is an important 'if') If you can speak the language." The language of Br?fl is Portugese. lncidenta'ly it Is a per'otis mistake to suppose that one can "get by" by speaking Spanish. Spanish " is no better un derstood than Englishr in Brazil. The United States put on consld erable chest over Its size and nat ural resources, but In neither one has it "anything on" Brazil. It, Is the fourth largest country In the world, its natural resources are un limiated and It hss a population of about twenty-five millions which has not yet driven Its frontier more than a third of the way to the west crn boundary. Agriculture Is by far the most Important ocupitlon, with commerce construction, transportation, mining lumbering and manufacturing fol lowing In order of importance. All are in about the same stage of de velopment as they were in the TJ. S. In Van Buren's administration. In only a few of the industries are the methods modern. American up-to-date methods and ingenuity are eagerly welcomed however, as Bras lllens are progressive, after a late start. The climate ranges from torrid heat of the troplcr.l Amazon to oc casional frost in the southermost states. Agriculture takes Its har vest from two to five times a year Coffe, rubber, sugar, tobacco, cot ton, grains, fruits and live stock products are the chief sources of all rlcultural riches. In the export of the agricultural products and the import of practi cally all the Brazilian uses In man ufactured goods commerce prospers in the hands of foreigners who carry on practically all the com mercial activities of the country. A ' (Continued on Page Two) PUEDUESS IS dllE OF FEATURE .BIG MILITARY PAGEANT WILL BE STAGED BY' UNCLE SAM'S SOLDIERS The Buffalo Bill-101 Ranch show, which Elizabeth City ts to see Fri day, November 10, appears to have several distinctive features thla season, to attract attention and win public patronage". Perhapahe most Interesting feature la the combina tion of Col. Wm. F. Cody (Buffalo Bill and his Interests with Miller Bros, and - Arlington's 101 hanch Wild West show, which was for a number of yeare the only real com petitor of th BufWo Bill show In the' Wild Wert field In bring' the two Interests together, many of the best features of both, shows and many of the border characters that contributed to their separate sue cea have been retained. Col. Cody, also, it la announced, has returned to first principles, and no longer makes hla entrance iri the arena in a trap, but is 'again In the saddle and riding, it Is announced, with al! hla old-time grace and dexterity. To see Buffalo Bill on a horse Is de clared by the admirers of the old scout and Indian' fighter to be alone' worth the price of admission. Another feature of the show that gives it distinction this .season, la the military y'vPreparedneiB8'r " 'page ant, and the value of this Is accen tuated by the fact that the soldiers who pcrtlclpate are actually regular army troopers, assigned for the purpose by the U. S. War Depart ment. AM the cavalry regiments in the United States are represented by the r crack riders. The co-oper-etfon of the Government with the management of on amusement en terprise I in itself interesting and pnusual, but It can readily be seen that tne value of such a display as the "preparedness" pageant Is a rouslng Interest and facilitating en listments fully justifies the action of the w:ir department. That the war department in keenly alive to the importance of the show In thte present crisis is further indicated by the fact that there 's now with the exhibition a recruiting Officer whose tent is erectted on tUe show grounds every day, and enlistments for service in the regular army are being received In constantly in creasing numbers. In th's way the management of the show, while un doubtedly profiting by the present keen interest In everything apper taining tto the mi'ltary, is also aid ing the government ' to get together cn army that will not only be rffec t'vo In Mexico, If calle dupon, but which will also be in a state of preparedness for possibilities at the close of the European war. The military end o fthe big show Is un doubtedly a most interesting and important feature. Another feature Is the unusually arge congress of Western people In eluding nearly a hundred Indians, led by noted chiefs, and scores of cowboys, cowgirls, scouts ranchmen and other strenuous people. In the foreign contingent there are Siber ian 1 Cossoacks, Soudanese Arabs, and Japanese, and the present com plications along the Southern bord er give especial Interest to a large company of Mexicans from Villa's former Torreon array. Cavalry arid artillery maneuvers, rough riding by 1 the World's most daring horsemen, skilled roping, broncho busting and a reproductnon of Villa's attack up on Columbus. N. M are among the offerings that are expected to create a full measure of thrills.
