9 V 9 IMPORTANT NEWS THE WORLD OVER Happenings of This and fither Nations for Seven Days Art Given. THE HEWS JQTTHE SOUTH What Is Taking Place In the South. land Will Be Found In Brief Paragraphs. Mexican News Anti-American demonstrations in northern Mexico 6ontinue, according to official advices, particularly in the , states of Chihuahua, San Luis Potois and Nuevo Leon. Americans are leaving Mexico in steadily increasing numbers. Under xne previous instructions, state depart ment agents in Mexico are giving every possible aid! In addition border agents have been' instructed to urge those seeking. to return to Mexico to fltay on the American side. The spread of the anti-American agitation in Mexico may delay the sending of a reply to General Car ranza's note demanding recall of the American troops. Creation of an in ' texnational commission to discuss all difficulties is known to have been Buggested, under existing treaties, .and It is understood the proposal is still before President Wilson. At El Paso, Texas, United States customs officials are warning Ameri cans that owing to conditions in Mexico, it is inexepdient to attempt to visit the interior of that country. 9 DOMESTIC An anti-American riot, incited by a v mass meeting to protest against the continued presence of American troops in Mexican territory, was put down in Chihuahua City by the military after a demonstration had been made .against the American consulate and atones hurled at the Foreign club in the belief that ft was an American Institution. A proposal to General Carranza that the United States and the Mexican de facto government submit the whole subject of their relations .to an interna tional commission is being seriously considered by the United States. Such a proposal, if it is made, will serve as a reply to the Mexican note demand ing withdrawal of the American troops, and may contemplate adjustment of many unsettled differences that for years have caused accumulating em barrassment in the relation of the two "Countries. European War King Constantine, of Greece has igned the order demobilizing twelve classes of the army, amounting to 150, O00 men. There is general rejoicing .over th3 decision. It is not thought the present government will be able to continue in power after the army Is disbanded. The demobilization of the Greek army is regarded as the direct out come of the energetic measures by the entente allied governments recently taken In making joint representations to King Constantine, followed by an embargo virtually closing Greek ports. The Greek commander of the port of Salonika has been replaced .by a French naval officer, and entry to the port has been refused to Greek ships from Kavala. Moreover, an embargo has been -placed on Greek ships" In French, ports. Fort Vaux, lying some five miles northeast of Verdun, which for weeks past' the French had been stubbornly defending against terrific onslaughts by the Germans, has at last fallen into the hands of the "Teutons, according to Berlin. The men who defended the fortress to the last surrendered to the Germans, who also captured a large number of guns, machine guns and mine throwers. Germans and British are fighting des perately in the vicinity of Ypres, both sides using their artillery in heavy bombardments and their infantry in occasional, attacks. In an infantry at tack against the ruined village of Ilooge, east of Ypres, the Germans captured the British front-line trench es running through the village, but all their attacks elsewhere failed. From the Pripet river southward, to the Roumanian frontier the Russians, according to Petrograd, are continuing to develop success against the Ger mans and Austrians. In the fights along this front of some 250 miles, the Russians already have made prisoners of 480 officers and more than 25,000 men and captured 27 guns and more than 50 machine guns. Accompanying Earl Kitchener as his staff, and who were drowned with him, were Hugh James O'Beirne, former councillor of the British em - bassy at Petrograd and former minis ter at Sofia; O. A. Fitzgerald, Ear) Kitchener's private military secre tary; Brigadier General Ellershaw and Sir Frederick Donaldson. A dispatch from Saloniki says the proclamation by General Sarrail of martial law in the entire zone occu pied by the entente allies, a step tak en as a result of the occupation of Fort Rupet by Bulgarian and German troops, has been favorably received by the population. The crowds mani fested their friendly sentiments by shouting "Long live the allies." Gaines by the Russians over the Teutonic allies, by the Turks over the Russians and by the Germans over the British are recorded in the latest of ficial communications from Petrogr?a, Constantinople 'and Ioo;on. The news that Earl .Kitchener, secretary of state for war,1 and his staff, who were proceeding to Russia aboard the cruiser Hampshire, were lost off the Orkney Islands, was the most stunning blow Great Britain has received since the war ; began. The sudden blow struck by the Rus sians along the entire Galician front of 275 miles from the Pripet to Rou mania, is, in the unanimous opinion of the military critics, a brilliant be ginning of the long awaited Russian offensive. A profound sensation has been caused by the speech made before the reichstag by Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg, in which he de clared that any further-suggestions of peace by Germany would be futile and evil. The prosecution begun the presenta tion of the case at the courtmartial of Captain Bowen-Colthurst, charged with the shooting of F. Sheehy Skef flngton, editor of The Irish Mclntyre, during the recent Irish rebellion. The) defendant is accused of murder. Domestic While skaters were gliding over the floor to the strains of an automatic band at, skating rink in Atlanta, the massive roof suddenly collapsed. A few minutes after firemen began baok ing their way to the mangled bodies of two dead youths who were caught under the debris. A thiiri roan died later at Grady hospital. Ten- were injured, many having to extricate themselves from the mass of ruins. Major Charles W. Stewart, of the Tenth battalion, Canadian infantry, was killed in action in Flanders on on June 1, according to information re ceived by his brother in New York. Major Stewart was a first lieutenant of the Fifth United States cavalry, but resigned when the war began to join the Canadian forces Juan Sanchez and Francisco Alvarez, ftwo of the Villa bandits condemned to death for first degree murder for par ticipation in the Columbus, N..

The governor' issued a 21 day reprieve for further investigation A severe wind and hail storm pass ed over the western part of Coweta county, Ga., and did much damage. A number of tenant hcusps and barns on different farms were blown down, en tailing a property loss of several thous and dollars. Savannah, Ga., will have a mam moth preparedness parade on Flag day, June 14. Interest in the parade move ment lagged at first, but sentiment has been growing in favor of a huge de monstration. Committees have been busy and the encouragement which the plan has received by those in charge are enthusiastic. "Splash week" will be observed . in New York City, from July 3 to 10 when the public and especially school chil dren will be given unusual opportuni ties to learn to swim with a view to decreasing the number of annual deaths by drowning, of which there were 458 in this city and vicinity last season. Defying a heavy rainstorm, driven by a cold west wind, 5,000 women marched in the parade of the National Equal Suffrage association in Chicago, giving an unprecedented demonstra tion of loyalty to the cause for which they are fighting women's votes. Governor Park Trammell has defeated-United States Senator Nathan P. Bryan for democratic . nomination i to the senatorehip, in Florida, accord- ing to returns received from the pri-, mary. ' ! Fifty-nine persons are reported to have been killed and more than a hundred injured in a tornado which , swept through central and northern Arkansas. Twenty-five rersons are ' known to have lost their lives at Jud sonla, Ark., in White county; at Heber Spiings the number dead is estimated at from ten to eighteen; four were killed at Hot Springs, where a storm cut a path through the southwestern portion of the city; at Cabot, in White j county, five are dead and four were killed at Delark, in Dallas county. Casualties are also reported to have occurred at Kensett, Morrilton and Greenland.

Mr. Sato, now an at tache of the Japanese foreign office, succeeds Viscount Chinda, the newly- . appointed ambassador to Great Britain, Sato formerly was ambassador to Austria. , i The American ambassador, James W. Gerard, has repudiated an inter-. view recently attributed to him on the subject of President Wilson's peace efforts. ' . i Dominican rebels, who fled Puerto Plata and Monte Christi' at the ap- proach of American marines, have strongly entrenched themselves out- j side of the latter town. A dispatch . to the state department from Minister Rusell at Santo Domingo gave further details of the occupation of the towns, and indicated that the situation on the island was more serious than had been believed here. Louis D. Brandies, of Boston, took his seat as an associate Justice of the supreme court, the sixty-second citizen to achieve the distinction. The cere monies were precisely those by which his predecessors of the last genera tion were elected.

The nrst class i,f officers will report July 1 for six months training before they are assigned to duty with the under-waier Cliifi. PLAN CAMPAIGN ON ILLITER INSTITUTE WORKERS GIU TICE OF CONTINUANCE WORK WITH ZEAL. DISPATCHES FROM RA( Doings and Happenings Thau the Progress of North Carolire pie Gathered Around the Capitol. IUleUhJ A definite plan of action for further Inroads into the column of adult Illi teracy in North Carolina will be for mulated at a meeting in Raleigh on June 20 participated in by representa tives of the Woman's Clubs, Junior Order United American Mechanics, State Department of Education, Far mere' Union, North Carolina Teach ers Assembly and other organizations and institutions which have under taken the work. This was the an nouncement made by Secretary W. C Crosby of the Community Service Bu reau, before the last session of the Teachers' Institute conductors In the Senate chamber. One hundred and fifty teachers in the state who will give their entire time to the work of moonlight schools and thus take the burden off the day teachers,' is the goal of the hopes of the leaders In the activity. This, it Is estimated, will cost $65,000. Dr. Joyner called tne teachers to in crease their efforts in this matter as suring them that the work will be carried on even more vigorously this year. He likewise urged the bringing in of as many outsiders a3 possible, to take up the work of teaching, for the purpose of relieving the active day teaching force of, the additional strain He particularly emphasized the duty of the institute conductors to carry enthusiasm for the work into the counties of the state where they will hold institutes, spreading the assur ance that the campaign is not spora die but continuous and not to be given up until adult illiteracy is as nearly wiped out a3 possible. "According to definite reports from county superintendent," said Mr Crosby, "847 moonlight schools were conducted in 83 counties with an en rollment of 8,443 of an average age of 35. Fourteen counties have not yet made any report while only four have reported that "they had no moonlight schools. "Almost without exception those counties that have as yet done little or nothing in night schools are plan nlng to do a double portion during the coming year and those that have done most are planniug to do even more. Most of the county superin tendents refer to the work for the coming year in general terms. But forty-three answered definitely the question: How many, moonlight schools will be needed and demand ed in your county next year? The total for these counties is 855. From this, it" will be seen that at least 2, 000 moonlight schools will be needed and demanded during the coming year and how to provide them is the gre?t problem confronting the lead ers in the state. Although more than five thousand teachers volunteered last year and actually taught a thou sand schools a glorious success for the movement,- we think yet the volunteer sj stem has many obvious disadvantages." First Infantry Passes Inspection. Adjutant General Laurence W. Young, of the North Carolina Nationa' Guard, has received the report from the War Department in the recent an nual armory inspection of the com panies comprising the First Infantry, and it is the finest report, he says, that has ever been made in any mili tary organization in tliis state. The Inspection was by Major Hunt, of the United States Army. The report says the conditions were most satisfactory and gratifying to the War Department and show the companies thoroughly equipped for service and the men and officers well up in their training Timber Industry Can Be Restored. That north Carolina can be restor ed to its former importance as a naval stores center, and that a movement looking to this phase of tie timber industry will be started at the South ern Forestry Congress, which meets in Asheville next month, is tho opln lonof Dr. Joseph Hyde Pratt, state geologist, who is in Asheville in the interest of the congress. "The con gress Is really an event . of National importance," Doctor Pratt declared, "and will bring prominent forestry men in the United States to Asheville "As a result of the deliberations of this congress, there will be definite recommendations made as to future legislative action governing the for est fire waste, the regulation of cut ting timber in lands to remain forest and the reproduction of forest growth. "I have been 'a3ked regarding the benefit to be derived by the men of eastern Carolina from attending this meeting, and in reply have told them that North Csrolina wa3 once famous for its naval stores, and by proper care and conservation, can: become so again."" rollna. lowest people is ac- the epi- South United The dad in ted 'by North eorgia, Ar- 1 the 'ma-TW11 jili t iui.;M,if'rffc'"i i was 9.3 and South Carolina's v Plarpmi Alabama linwprl the rate of infection of any inq place, which was 1.7, and the Valley, Mississippi, showed th est, which was 40.9. Another interesting fact that devel oped through this study of malaria conditions in the South was that one out of every 7.6 persons examined was found to be a malaria carrier, that is, he harbored the sexual forms necessary for infecting a malaria bearing mosquito. It was also found that the percentage, of infection among the whites was only 8.08 per cent aa compared with 20.6 per cent for ool ored. New Pharmacists Get Licenses.

The mandamus is in Tllghman vs. Seaboard Air Line, which has been to the state supreme court three times, and also to the United States supreme court. The state supreme court granted another new trial May 31. Counsel for Tilghman were mov ing to have the case cerified to the court below out of order as of the first Monday In June to secure trial at once before Judge George Connor. Counsel for the Seaboard want no trial at this time, preferring to wait for the next term, which will be held by Judge Bond. Therefore Seaboard Counsel Murray Allen went before Judge Bond at Edenton and procured the mandamus, which is returnable June 17. Convention of Electrical Inspectors. Insurance Commissioner James R.

Over and over again, the wisdom of the adage, "A man who is his own lawyer has a fool for a client," and the understanding that inspired the -injunction, "Physician, heal thyself,! are established in the courts. Every lawyer is familiar with many instances in which the wills of distinguished jurists have been set aside because they were improperly drawn, and it is a matter of pretty common knowledge that few doctors can diagnose their own ailments. Another exemplification now ap pears in the conflict about the will of the late Dr. Austin Flint. He was, perhaps, more frequently employed as an expert witness as to testamentary capacity than any other alienist in the country. Questions of mental fit ness, of intent, of motive and of the other attributes of a "sound-disposing mind" were before him constantly. Yet he drew his own will so amblgu-1 ously, so obscurely, that his executors have been compelled to invoke the aid of the court to determine what the learned testator meant. Richmond Times-Dispatch.
