Some conception of the magnitude
of the devastating consequences of
the great flood may be gleaned from
the Statement that the Souhern Pow
er Company annulled service to all
secondary power consumers which
cut off the Juice from more than 1,
000,000 spindles located in this gen
.era! territory. All of these mills
have their steam plants and they will
be able to resume operations without
delay If they so elect. Of course
those In the actual flooded area will
not be able to do anything for weeks
and maybe months.
10,000 GERMANS TAKEN
PRISONERS IN SOMME BATTLE
London. The British have captured
additional German prisoners in the
Smme region and brought their total
since July 1 up to 189 officers and
10,779 men of other ranks. In addi
tion 17 heavy and 133 lighter guns
liave fallen Into British hands during
their perod.
Many attacks by the ' Austrians
against the Italians in the upper
Poaina Valley proved unavailing in
- bending back the line of the Italians,
who, in a counter-attack in which there
was handfto-Oiand fighting, repulsed
. the Austrians over the entire front.
Failure likewise followed an attempt
of the Austrians to surround the
Italians in the Trovo Valley.
Intermittent bombardments and lo
cal fights between infantry are taking
place in the Caucasus region between
. the Turks and the Russians. No im
portant changes have taken place la
this theater.
Irish Bisque.
Bring one quart of new milk to a
boll, dissolving In It one pint of granu
lated sugar. When this mixture Is cool,
add a quart of whipped cream, a tea
spoonful of vanilla and freeze until It
Is the consistency of mush. Remove
the dasher, add wine glass of sherry,
and a coffeecupful of macaroons
ground very fine. Color to the right
shade of green with vegetable color
ing matter, pack and set away to
harden. This Is an excellent substi
tute for pistachio, the green Ice cream
offered by caterers.
RANKIN PLEASED
WITH SA All
8TATE HEALTH OFFICER SAYS
CONDITIONS AT CAMP GLENN
ARE EXCELLENT.
ABOUT THE SOLDIER BOYS
Many Interesting Happenings Con
cernlng the National Guard In Camp
at Morehead City Dally . Drills for
the Boys In Khaki.
Camp Glenn, Considering the mate
rial at hand to work with sanitary ar
rangements at Camp Glenn are good,
considering the conditions in the
towns and cities of North Carolina,
they are truly remarkable," declared
Dr. W. S. Rankin, secretary of the
state board of health, who completed
a sanitary survey of Camp Glenn. Dr.
Rankin, returned ito Raleigh where he
will make up a report on his findings.
He went over the camp thoroughly, in
specting water supplies, handling- of
food, kitchen arrangements and the
methods of disposition of waste as
well as sewage. This encampment
Dr. Rankin believes, should teach
North Carolina a lesson in sanitation.
If such things are possible in Camp
Glenn they are possible certainly in
any city of 'the state.
First is Spick and Span.
Every company of the First North
Carolina Infantry at 9:30 o'clock was
in spdc and span order when Lieuten
ant Colonel Delamere,Skerrette, U. S.
A., Inspector general's department, ac
cording to previous announcement,
steeped into camp.
The tents were struck and furled, the
cots were in orderly rows and each
man's equipment and clothing were so
disposed as 'to make possible quick In
spection. The men were formed by
companes in their streets, with guns
and side arms for the inspection that
followed. Every detail had been ar
ranged with care, under supervision of
the officers.
Some May Go Home.
The following telegram was announc
ed at headquarters:
Camp Glenn. The following tele
gram was announced at headquarters:
"The Secretary of War directs ob
servance of the following rules in case
of enlisted men of the National Guard
or militia called into service of the
United States, who have dependent
relatives. First department command
era may issue discharges from ser
vice to enlisted men, provided appli
cations for discharge are made in due
form through military channels to de
partment commanders setting forth
that the applicant has one or more
relatives who are dependent upon him
for support, the application to be ac
companied by written evidence of the
dependency."
The Indications are that quite a
few of the married men will make ap
plication for discharge. The com
panies of the First Regiment show
the following as an estimate of the
number who will make such applica
tion: A, Hickory, 15; B, Gastonia,
12; C, Winston-Salem, 12; D, Char
lotte ,2; E, Statesville, 10; F. Ashe-
ville, 10; G, Shelby, 2; H, Waynes
ville, 12; I, Mount Airy, 3; K, Ashe
ville, 12; L, Concord, 2; M, High
Point, 14.
Colonel Gardner stated that the
mere fact that a man was married
and made application to go home
would not mean a favorable consid
eration of the application.
"A man must show that he has a
dependent family and that be provid
ed for his family before he was called
to camp," said the commander of the
First.
Blckett Reviews First Regiment.
The First North Carolina Regiment,
in honor of Governor-to-be T. W. Blck
ett, who came over from Morehead on
a visit to Brigadier General Young,
was ordered out by Colonel Gardner
for the first regimental parade. The
order was unlooked for by officers or
men, who in about 45 minutes were as
sembled in battalions and marched to
the plain. The regiment, with Colonel
Gardner at the head, was reviewed by
General Young with Mr. Bickett stand
ing on his left.
50 Recruits Received.
Officers and men feel heartened by
the fairly generous results from the
work of recruiting officers sent out a
few days ago. Already 24 man have
come from High Point, six from Con
cord, 15 from Waynesville, five from
Charlotte, making a total of 50, and
the outlook grows in promise.
New Equipment.
The issuance of new equipment to
the men in the first Infantry was com
pleted but Is continuing for the men in
the field Hospital and the Third Regi
ment. War Romance.
When MaJ. R. L. Flannigan, First
regiment, secured leave of absence for
several days no one suspected his mis
sion. Last night Major Flannigan
passed through Camp Glenn with his
bride on the way to Morehead City.
Camp Glenn only waked up to the
true situation when letters were re
ceived In camp addressed to Major
and Mrs. R. L. Flannigan. Mrs. Flan
nigan was Mrs. J. D. Terry of Statos
vllle, and the wedding took place
there, after which the bridal couple
came straight to Morehead City.

Col. Minor, whose home Is In Dur
ham, Is Colonel of the Third Regiment,
N. C. N. G., which has just passed the
Federal examination with pleasing re
sults. General Young Praisea.
General Laurence W. Young, recent
ly commissioned by the president as
brigadier general commanding the
North Carolina troops, has a face
and figure that are built on militaxy
lines. So has Major Glenn Brown and
Zollicoffer and Guy Winthrop and
Koon of the Asheville company, and
Zollicoffer's first lieutenant and many
others but this is about Gen. Young.
The new commanding officer of
the brigade stands all of six feet two
in his socks. He is straight and steps
out like a West Pointer. He may be
found at the most out-of-the-way
places almost any time of the day
hardly ever at brigade headquarters.
He is acute, direct and practical. He
never breaks into an "Officer's call,"
which he often does, unless he has
something immediately important to
say. He carries no suggestion of as
sumption. His manner invites remark
or suggestion from the lowest rank
ing officer present. He is young, looks
not over 40, of florid complexion, a
comely presence, and an eye that is
a firm, full, generous blue, but watch
ful withal. If he has an interruption
that seems unimportant, he brushes it
aside, and goes on. In his talks,
which are few and brief, he has con
sistently an end which is big with
meaning for all the men. He Is quick
in decision, but equally quick to
change if he can "be shown." His hold
upon men Is somewhat magnetic that
is they seem to have for him some
thing more than respect call It what
you will. Should the troops go to
the border no matter whether or not
they be scattered Ik Battalion detach
ments, General Young from his head
quarters, may be relied upon to come
to any decisive conclusion or order,
only after such a careful consideration
as will cover with good judgment, the
situation in hand, and more than this,
the officers who know his whole make
up believe this.
Examine Third Regiment.
Examination of the Third Regi
ment has been completed and the re
ports show that the regiment lacks
only 24 men of being at minimum
war strength, 65 men to the company.
The companies and the number of
men accepted follows: "A Lexing
ton 72; "B," Raleigh 66; "C," Hender
son 74; "D," Louisburg, 56; "E," Ox
ford 48; "F," Franklinton, 61; "G,"

"I," Burlington 74; "K," Asheboro 43;
"L," Thomasville 65; "M," Durham,
76; band, 20; infirmary 23.
Captain Horton Home.
Capt. W. C. Horton, Raleigh, who
has been one of the medical officers
conducting examinations for muster,
secured seven days leave of absence
which he will spend in Raleigh. Cap
tain Horton left on the afternoon
train. Col. George L. Peterson has r
turned after a leave of absence, bring
ing his wife and children to Morehead
City.
Sergeant-Major A. C. Bernard, first
battalion, third infantry, who has juslt
passed his physical examination for
muster into the federal service, secur
ed a six-days leave of absence to
transact some necessary business be
fore getting into the regular service.
Caught a Shark.
Jack Bowen, Raleigh boy at More
head City, has the shark record for the
summer thus far. While holding a
bath robe for a long-distance swimmer
at Morehead, Jack saw a large shark
sliding about near the swimmer. A
hook and line weye nearby. The shark
took the bait easily, and after being
half-drowned and worn out in the tus-
sel was dragged ashore. It was seven
and a half feet in length, and was sus
pended at the hotel for the inspection
of guests.
Captain Wooten of the Winston-Salem
company. Is somewhat provoked
at not even having received a single
man from the recruiting officers sent
out a few days ago. Concord sent in
four, Badin eighteen, and Waynesville
four more, making nineteen from that
town. The eighteen from High Point
having been stiffly examined before
leaving, passed without one rejtion.
A number of men temporarily are
ailing from the effects of typhoid and
smallpox vaccination, and some of
them under the heat this morning
had 'to drop out at inspection anf
were laid out under trees.

FORTY-THIRD ANNUAL CONVEN.
TION OF PRESS ASSOCIATION
HELD AT DURHAM.
MELVENE E.STONE SPEAKER
Editors Study Advanced Cost of
Paper and Want Paper Mill Lo
cated in North Carolina.
Durham. Melville E. Stone, gener
al manager of the Associated Pres
and secretary of the Navy Josephus
Daniels were the guests of honor at
the meeting here of the 43d annual
convention of the North Carolina
Press Association. The addresses of
both men, although brief, were keen
ly enjoyed.
"I bid you write with a man's hand
and be honest, in these terrible times
when the fires of war burn through
out the world; today you members
of the press, if right minded, are
controlling the government because
you are spokesmen of the people,"
declared Mr. Stone, as the keynote
of his address. "The powers and re
sponsibilities of the press are larger
than those of any other liberal pro
fession, lest It be the church. This
country has given very large priv
ilege to the Journalist, as no other
country. This came over a tortuous
road," he said.
In his introductory of Mr. Stone
Secretary Daniels said: "He is a
master man, who has the vision ol
the world. Your guest comes with
a vision no other man has, prompt,
accurate and unbiased Information"
A quaint eight-page newspaper, de
signed for the pleasure and profit Oi
the North Carolina editors, made its
appearance as a foreword of the con
vention. The Durham Chamber of
Commerce was responsible for its
birth and it assumed the title, "Dur
ham Bull-etln."
Propose Paper Mill.
At the business session Jas. H.
Cowan, of The Wilmington Dispatch
made a stirring appeal in behalf of
strong and energeitc co-operative
work toward the establishment of a
large print paper or pulp mill in
North Carolina and the chairman wll
appoint a committee at once to look
Into the matter. Parties, it is said,
are interested in such a venture, and
if proper support can be secured
from newspaper publishers, with pos
sible contracts for a period of two
or three years, a large pulp mill for
the manufacture of news print paper
may be established in North Carolina.
Paper Cost Advances.
Mr. Cowan called attention to the
constantly Increasing cost of white
paper in the newspaper trade and
said prices had advanced in some In
stances nearly 40 per cent. He inti
mated that newspapers were too
busy making politicians and attending
the requirements of others while they
were neglecting their own best inter
ests on the issues of supply and de
mand. .
The association adopted resolutions
favoring the establishment of a pa
per manufacturing plant In the South
and a forestry warden for every
county in North Carolina.
Morehead City was selected as the

cle?" was the subject discussed by H
C. Adler of The Chattanooga Times
