BRITISH CHANCELLOR SPRINGS A SURPRISE II IS David Lloyd-George Makes Public Some Figures as to Munitions and Men. FIGHTING IN THE WEST Russian Advance in the Car pathians Appears to Have , Reached Full Stop. Operations Against Dardan elles Being Renewed. Loudon. April 21. The British expe ditionary force in France, which at the beginning of the war consisted of six divisions, has been increased to more than 3t;, or roughly speaking, 750,000 men, according to a statement by Da-vuiLloyd-George, chancellor of the ex chequer,, in the house of commons to day.' v - .. - The chancellor added , that the place of -every man who had fallen in battle had been filled and that the army was adequately equipped. But he reiterat ed the neeu for munitions, declaring that during the battle ; of Neuve Cha pelle more ammunition was used than in the whole of the South African war, which lasted nearly three years. The interesting information also was given that the output of the munition factories had been increased more than 1? fold since the outbreak of the war, but the call was still for more, and as Mr. Lloyd-George continues to hold the opinion that consumption of liquor Is interfering with the work, he promised legislation to deal with this matter. The figures made public- by the .chan cellor as to the.size of the British army m France and jthe expenditure' xf am munition has caused great surprise in England where the opinion s has been general that about half that number of, men has reached the front, especially as there has been no sign of any de crease in the number of khaki-clad men training in this country. New Men Under Fire. . It is likely that many of the new men already have been under fire as the Germans are making repeated at tempts to re-capture Hill No. 60 near Ypres. which the British took Sunday, ami have, according to Field Marshal French's report, been repulsed with great loss. "There has been activity at many other points In the West and Berlin, which is more communicative than Paris, says that the Germans have made progress in the forest of LePre tre, near St. Mihiel, and reports that repulse of French attacks in other i sections from Champagne to Alsace. i the Russian advance in the. Carpa thians apparently has come to a full stop, for reports from that region speak only of attempted attacks which were repulsed, both in the mountains and in the direction of Stry. The Aus-tro-Germans have made an outflank ing effort to support this latter move ment, it i stated from neutral sour ces that the Austrians have virtually evacuated Bukowina. Berlin supplies details heretofore lacking, of a British reverse in Ger man East Africa in January, when a .British force Avas defeated near Jassini and lost heavily in men and ammuni tion. The other colonial wars are re ported to be going well for the Allies, progress being steadily maintained in Kamerun and German Southwest Af rica. The British also have had to deal with a. raid against Indian territory on the northern border of the Pesha "ur valley, undertaken by 4,000 men in command of a Van itical Mullah. After 2 fev. hours fighting in which the Brit ish suffered 70 casualties, the raiders ere dispersed. In Mesopotamia the British ar pur suing the defeated Turks and have oc ti'Uied Xakhilah, from which place the Turks r!( d last week. The Turks also re b-ing attacked from the Black Sea, the Russian fleet again having been ut and destroyed ten Turkish supply vssels and bombarded Arkahava. rroni every side comes news of the activity of the air fleets which have 'oinharded towns and military stations ,,!Uv7'.n the lines of the armies while ie British claim to have damaged the German airship harbor at Ghent.

MAN TO HEAD UNIVERSITY IN Ninety-Eight Institutions arid Learned Societies ere Represented Im. - AT HIS INAUiRATION Many Educators cientists and Alumni PrL. int From Many States. Chapel Hill, K. C, April 21. Dr. Ed ward Kidder Graham today was inau gurated President of the University of North Carolina. He is the tenth man to be at the head of the oldest state supported university in the United States. Governor Craig presided over the exercises and Chief Justice Clark administered the oath of office. The retiring president, Dr. Francis Preston Venable, presented Dr. Graham. A large number of educators, scientists and alumni attended. The exercises, which were held in Me morial hall, were simple. Shortly af ter 10:30 o'clock the academic pro cession formed and proceeded to Me morial hall, where at 11 o'clock the exV ercises began. Bishop Edward Rond thaler, of Winston-Salem, offered the invocation. Addresses were delivered by Frank J. Goodnow, president of Johns Hopkins University; Dr. Edwin Anderson Al derman, president of the University of Virginia, and Dr. John H. Finley, com missioner of education of the State of New York. Then followed the presentation of the president, the , administration of the oath of office,' the induction into of fice of Governor Craig and the -president's inaugural address. Greetings to the university were extended by Dr. George H. Denny, president of the Uni versity of Alabama, on the part of the state universities, and Dr. William J. Martin, president of Davidson College, on the part of the colleges of the State. Later a luncheon in the University dining hall was given and a reception, tonight ended the inaugural exercises. In the academic procession were del egates from 98 institutions and learn ed societies, the ; Governor of North Carolina, members of the Supreme Court of North Carolina, State officers, members of the board of the trustees, members of the General Assembly, hundreds of visitors and alumni and the student body. President Graham is 38 years old. He was born in Charlotte, the sqm of Arch ibald and Eliza Owen (Barry) Graham. He graduated from the university in 1898 with the degree of bachelor of philosophy. Mr. Graham spent one year as teacher in the Charlotte grad ed schools and two years pursuing graduate studies in Columbia univer sity. Dr. Graham'M Addrean In his inaugural address Dr. Graham declared the life of the University of North Carolina began with the life of the nation itself; and the period since its reopening in 1875 to the great period of material unbuilding of the North and West. The next great ex pansion wil 1 be in the South, where will be made once more the - experi ment of translating prosperity in terms of a great civilization. It is to leader ship in this that state universities are called. State universities originated in the South, but they failed to develop there as democratic institutions because the section was aristocratic. They came into full strength in the West. . The" state university is more than an aggregate, however, of institutions that evnress the culture ideals of cul ture as learning, culture as research and as vocation; as a university "it is a living unity, an organism at the heart of the living democratic state, interest ing its life, not' by parts, nor a sum mary of parts, but wholly fusing them all ' into a new culture center, giving birth to a new humanism". The evo lution of the state university and of the democratic state have been parallel as they move into the twentiein cen tury, from this new center or reality. Each' has sought to make of its com partmental life an organism of con structive co-operation. From this new center they are already sending forth new and confident premonitions of ful ler and more abundant life under equal opportunity to all of the powers of all men infinitely to expand. The Southern state umversvty i at the vital center of the. State's forma tive material prosperity in 'industry and agriculture, not only . seeking to assist in solving their practical prob lems, hut 'through showing their larger and deeper relations to make of them liberal vocations not, to save a man fronv-biisiness, but through it; to make of the cropper, a farmer, and of the farmer, man-on-the-farm. As the organic Instrument for realiz ing the highest aspirations of the liv ing state one inevitable quality ' the state university must have: it must be alive! consitively ana robustly .alive in every vital part pf it to the time and needs and place' of the people it serves. Not that it would not illustrate in its life the traditions that have maae its past nobly useful, and beau tiful, and seek guidance is the ex perience of the great of its kind; but that the , need of every institution Is to assert its original geniue that It alone has and can have and that alone gives it value in the world . - - President Alderman.' Speech, President Alderman, of the Univer sity of Virginia, took as his theme de mocracy, especially in its relation. to education; and education, in its rela tion to democracy. He . thus defined democracy, after tracing briefly, its progress in the nineteenth ' century: "Conceived of as a ruling spirit in the heart of an individual, democracy means, according to the American point of view, faith in the ultimate rec titude of public impulse, and the ulti v i (Continued on Page Two.)

FEW BODIES RECOVERED Falling; Wall of Five Stery Building De stroyed by Fire Last December . Btiric. SrejLot People Wio Were in Siores. Kirmiiigham, Ala., April 21. More than a dozen persons were believed to have lost their lives and a score were known to .have been injured in the wrecking of two stores here late today by the falling of a five story wall of the Steel-Smith building, on Second avenue. Late tonight the bodies of A. K. Mc Leod, manager of the wrecked Atlantic and Pacific Tea Store and three un identified bodies had been recovered from the debris. Many other are known to be buried in the ruins, but there seemed little prospect of reach ing them tonight despite the feverish efforts of large forces of workmen. Among the known missing are J. H. Whitlock, traveling auditor of the Tea Company and Mr. Harding and J. E. Ray, employes of the same company, and Misses Malia Fddinger, Madeline Dedman and Ruth Johnson and Irv ing Melbrant, employes of the wreck ed Hann shoe store. The Steel-Smith building was burned last December and the single wall had been standing since that time. It-fell during a heavy rain and wind atorm. The store buildings three-story structures were crushed and employes and shoppers were caught in the wreck. ' PROTEST AGAINST HUERTA VISITING UNITED STATES. Former Officers ot Mexican Federal Ar my File Protests to Consul. Washington, April 21. A dispatch to the Villa agency from Aguas Calientes tonight said that officers of Villa's ar my, formerly in the Mexican Federal service, appeared before the American consul there today and protested against the stay of former Provisional President Victoriano Huerta in the United States. - The agency made public the message as follows: "All the generals and officers of tho ex-Federal army who were not impli cated in the uprising of February 18, 1913, when Madero was deposed), ap peared "before the American Consul in this city today and , protested against the stay of Victoriano Huerta, the as sassin,, in thfr United States. "The consul endeavored to convince them that there was no disrespect to the people of Mexico, on the part of the United States in permitting Huerta to rernain in its territory and after some conversation in which the- ex-Federal generals stated their reasons in sup port of the protest they asserted that the United States must be convinced o the guilt of Huerta since it had never recognized him. They declared that tomorrow they would present their for mal protest in writing." Release of Leon C. Worcester, an American imprisoned by Villa author 'ities at" Chihuahua, was announced to day by the State Department. Wor cester is charged with a civil offense in connection with a mining deal. General Funston reported to the War Department today the firing on a Unit ed States aeroplane at Brownsville yesterday by Carranza troopers and added that the machine had not ben beyond the border. A full apology was made by the Carranza consul at Brownsville who assured Colonel Blocksom there would be no recur rence of the firing. The aeroplane made another flight today. -V .

CROSS-EXAMINED TODAY Colonel Will Submit to Ques tioning by Ivins, Coun sel for Barnes. Explained the Connection Be tween Two Bosses. Syracuse, N. T., April 11. Theodore Roosevelt spent five hours on the wit ness stand in the Supreme Court here today, telling what he said he believed was the inside history of machine pol itics and boss rule in New York State. By so doing the former President hop ed to convey to the jury, trying the suit William Barnes brought against him for alleged libel, the impression that he was justified in criticising Mr. Barnes. Col. Roosevelt swore he had been re liably informed that the "Murphy Dem ocrats" and the "Barnes Republicans," the latter under the leadership of Mr. Barnes, united on more than one oc casion to defeat the plans of indepen dent, men of both parties in the state legislature. And Mr. Barnes told Wil liam Loeb, Jr., the witness emphatical ly declared, that he had anironclad agreement with Charles F. Murphy, ol Tammany Hall to allow Murphy a free hand to select a United States senator. Mr. Loeb was private secretary to Col. Roosevelt when he was President and later was collector of the port of New York. Piatt the "Easy Boss." The witness told in detail of his ideals ings with tb.' late -Senator Piatt, the "man he had descrrbedr ashe---"easy-boss." Piatt, the colonel ascertained, attempted to dictate -the man he, as Governor of . the state of New York, should appoint to be superintendent of .public words. But, said Colonel Roose velt, when he told Mr. Barnes of the conversation he added that he did not intend any man should say who he should appoint to office. Mr. Barnes, however, sided with Mr. Piatt, the wit ness swore. The colonel related the information former Governor Sulzer and his Inves tigator, John A. Hennessy, gave him regarding alleged corruption in cer tain state departments., And, as a con clusion he denied that he held any malice toward Mr. Barnes and added that he considered he was championing the cause of good government against bi-partisan boss rule, when he caused the publication of the offending state ment. Tomorrow Col. Roosevelt will submit to cross examination at the hands of William M. Ivins, chief of the Barnes counsel. During his stay on the stand today the colonel seemed to be even more at his ease than he was yesterday. Argued With Attorneys. He argued with Mr. Barnes' attor neys who constantly interrupted him with objections. He pounded on the judge's bench, with his fist. He brought the palms of his hands together with resounding slaps. One instant the expression on his face was solemn and then the next Jt was jovial. Once he smilingly engag ed in a discussion with Judge Andrews, presiding. And while the opposing lawyers themselves were engaged in arguing legal points with Justice Andrews, the colonel, patient and calm, toyed with the massive gold watch chain stretch ed across his chest and drummed with the tips of his fingers on the bench beside him. When the arguments were over he invariably would turn to Jus- jtice Andrews, smile broadly and after addressing him as judge , ask wheth er he might proceed. Mr. Barnes paid particular attention to his opponent during this session of court. Several times during the day he left his seat and walked to the oth er end of the table to whisper to Mr. Ivins.- Usually these whispered con ferences resulted in the attorney jump ing to his feet and offering an objec tion. Mr. Ivins fought all day to keep the colonel from getting into the rec ords things counsel for the plaintiff ap parently wanted to keep out. With but a few exceptions, however, the court ruled in a manner which permit ted the colonel to tell the better part of the story he was trying to relate. Roosevelt Back on Stand. When ,the examination of Colonel Roosevelt was resumed . Mr. Bowers questioned the witness, who said: "I had conversations with Mr. Barnes regarding the gubernatorial election in 1908. Those took place in Washington and possibly in Oyster Bay, too." "What were the conversations?" Mr. Ivins for Mr. Barnes objected but was overruled. "The conversations I had were in regard to Mr. Barnes' domination of the party. Now, Judge they were con tinued conversations. I talked over a letter I wrote in 1900 to Senator Piatt. 4 I repeatedly . referred to . the domina tion of the party by Senator Piatt and Mr. Barnes. I discussed the right eousness of, 'boss'j rule. I. told- Mr. Barnes that prior to my becoming Gov ernor Mr. piatt had asked me to come to see him in New York. It was be tween the time I was elected and the time I assumed office. "I expressed surprise that commit tees were being appointed when the speaker of the assembly had not been chosen. also - told ; Mr Barnes Mr, Piatt . told me ; no speaker would - be chosen until a-man who was satlsfac o .t. .

Faison, N. C, April 21. Dr. John M. Faison, former congressman from. the Third North Carolina" district, was found dead in the bath room of his home here early today. An element of mystery attaches to his death by rea son of the fact that members of his family have declined to state the cause, declaring that "all "the informa tion we have for publication is that Mr. Faison died suddenly." Persistent reports here today were that the former congressman shot him self in the head with a shotgun. It was reported here that relatives of Faison in several North Carolina, cities had received messages which purport ed to have been sent by members of the family, stating that Dr. Faison ! shot himself. . No inquest has been held as yet and no official statement has been made as to the cause of death. BODY FOUND BY COOK Had Been Out and Attended Some "Farm" Duties. (Special Star Telegram.) Warsaw, N. C, April 21. News reached here at an early hour today of the death presumably by suicide of Dr. John M. Faison, ex-congressman from this district. The unfortunate death occurred at the home of the deceased about 8 o'clock this morning. Shortly before 8 o'clock Dr. Faison, who was avery strong man until his health be gan to decline while in Congress about one year . ago, had been put transacting some, business connected with his farm and had talked to a Mr. Bland con cerning some fertilizer. He then went into . the house and, entering a small room adjoining his bedroom, took his life evidently by placing the . muzzle Of a shotgun into his mouth and setting off the charge with his foot, it is sup posed. ..v The face was not disfigured but the whole back of the head was blown away by the charge. No one. seems to have heard the noise of the explosion and his death, which was instant, was discovered by the cook who entered his room to summon him to breakfast. Mrs. Faijson was away at the time at tending commencement exercises at Wallace, N. C, where a daughter teaches in the graded school. Dr. Faison was about 55 years old and since early manhood has been ac tively and successfully engaged in' the practice of medicine : at Faison, his home town. He was of a prominent family and had held several positions of trust in his county including coun ty commissioner for a number ot years. He was a man much esteemed and ad mired by a host of friends in this sec tion. . ' : .., . ..

TVHOIiE NUMBER 39,177 VON BERI1SI0RFF GETS REPLY 10 HOBAHDII TO STATE JPARTMEIIT American Note Dated at State Department, But Finally v Penned by Wilson. AS TO U- S. NEUTRALITY Language of German Ambas sador Susceptible of Being Wrongly Construed. As Impugning the Good Faith of United States. Washington, April 21. The United States replied today to a recent memo randum in which Count Von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, declared that "if the American people desire to ob serve true neutrality they will find means to stop the exclusive exporta tion of arms to one side, or at least to use this export trade as a means to uphold the legitimate trade with Ger many, especially the trade in food stuffs." The American note signed by Secre tary Bryan was dated at the State De partment, but finally YJas penned by President Wilson himself. In pointing out that the language used by Count Von Bernstorff "isv susceptible of be ing construed as Impugning the ..good faith of the United States in the per formance of its duties as a neutral," the note takes it "for granted that no such implication was intended," and suggests that evidently the German ambassador "is "laboring under certain false impressions." Not Subject for Debate. It then declares that while the re lations of the United States with any one of the belligerents "cannot wisely be made a subject of discussion with a third government," such correspon dence between the United States and the Allies as has been published showB "the steadfast refusal" of the Amen-' can government "to acknowledge the right of any belligerent to alter the accepted rules of war at sea in so far as they affect the rights and interests of neutrals." The attitude of the United States on the question of exportations of arms is re-stated namely that to place any embargo on arms during the progress of a war would be "a direct violation of the neutrality of the United States." The note refers to the spirit o friendship which the United States de sires always to manifest toward Ger many and its people and concludes with the declaration that the neutrali ty of the United States "is founded up on . the firm basis of conscience and good will." The eommunication was delivered by messenger to Count Von Be'rnstorff late today and by arrangement with the German embassy the State Depart ment made.it public tonight. Text of American Note. The text of the note follows: "Excellency: , "I have given thoughtful considera tion to Your Excellency's note of the 4th of April, 1915, enclosing a memo randum of the same date, in which Your Excellency discusses the action of this government with regard to trade between the United- States and Germany, and the attitude of this gov ernment with regard to the exporta tion of arms from the United States to the nations how at war with Germany. "I must admit that I am somewhat at a loss how to interprit Your Excel lency's treatment of these mattera There are many circumstances connect ed with these important subjects to which I would have expected Your Ex cellency to advert, but of which yot: make no mention, and there are other circumstances to which you do refei which . I would have supposed to be hardly appropriate for discussion be tween the government of the United States and the government of Germany. "I shall take the liberty, therefore, of regarding Your Excellency's refer ences to the course pursued by the gov ernment of the United States with re gard to interferences with trade from this country such as the government of Great Britain have attempted as in tended merely to illustrate more fully the situation to which you desire to call our attention and not as an invita tion to discuss that course. Your Ex cellency's long experience in interna- tional affairs will have suggested to ! you that the relations of the two gov j ernments with one another cannot ; wisely be made a subject of discussion with a third government, which can not be fully informed as to the facts and which cannot be fully cognizant of the reasons for the course pursued. I believe, however, that I am justified in assuming that what you desire to call forth is a frank statement of the. position of this government in regard to its obligations as a neutral power. The general attitude and course of pol icy of this government, in the mainten ance of its neutrality I am particularly anxious that Your Excellency should see in: their true light. Repeats America's Position. "I had hoped that this government's' position in these respects had been made abundantly clear, but I am, of course, perfectly willing to state It again. This seems to me the more ne cessary and desirable because, I regret to say the language which Your Excel lency employs in your memorandum Is susceptible of being construed as im pugning the good faith of the United States in the performance of its duL ties as a neutral. I take it for grant ed that no such Implication was in tended, but it is' so evident that Your Excellency is '; laboring under . certain false impressions that I cannot be too explicit' in setting forth the facta as (Continued on Page Two) ;2 v.iV'"V: ' fc'-':.r'-;--'"V-A- 'V.' - . i' 111 lit 111 v-H: M f f -1 i:; S'r 1 111 if. 4 t it w It it ,i h it sr. is?
