Moss, of the Presbyterian church, will officiate. All work at the university will be suspend ed for tomorrow and the faculty and student will attend the funeral in a body. The honorary pallbearers -will be Gov. T. W. Bickett, Dr. J. Y. Joyner, Dr. Kemp P. iiattle, Dr. F. P. Venable, Mayor W. S. Roberson, Dr. M. C. S. Noble, Dr. H. E. Williams, Dr. W. D.

Patterson, Dr. L. R. Wilson, Charles T. Woolen, Dr. Archibald Henderson, and Dr. J. G. DeR. Hamilton. Dr. Graham was a son of Archibald and Elizabeth Owen (Barry) Graham, born in Charlotte, October 11, 1S76. He prepared for college in the city schools of Charlotte, entered the university in 1S94 and graduated in 1S9S. With the exception of one year as a teacher in the Charlotte schoolsv and two years as a student in the graduate school of Columbia university, where he receiv ed the degrees of M. A. in 1902, he has been steadily connected with the uni versity for 16 years. From 1899 to 1900 he served as uni versity librarian; to 1904 he was in structor in English; to J908 he was professor in English; served as dean until 1911 and was acting president until 1914 in the absence of President Venable. As a teacher he won conspicuous success by reason of the rare magnet ism of his personality and his equally rare ability to understand and appre ciate sympathetically the mental at titude of his students. Alike in the class room and on the campus, he dealt frankly - with all problems of student activities and student-government, and always with the complete confidence and hearty co-operoation of the student body. In councils of the university as dean, acting -president and as president, he was quick to recognize whatever tend ed to upbuild the institution and keep it sound at heart. He realized that soundness in scholarship is vital to any genuine development within and that if the state university was to fill its real mission in the state and south it must go direct to the people in help . ful service. Primarily a teacher and leader of the educational forces. President Gra ham frequently contributed to the" cur rent publications and found time to suggest the means whereby the econo mic and social life of the state would profit. Probably the two most notable contributions in these different fields have been an illuminating article on Culture and Commercialism and the proposal of community service week which for the first time in the history or the state was set aside by the gov ernor of the state in 1914 for discussion by-all North Carolinians of problems which in any way way affected the welfare of North Carolina. AMERICANS HAD QUIET SUNDAY AROUND VERDUN Not a Single Infantry Action of Impor tance and Huns Ceased Bombard ment at Dawn. With the American Army Northwest of Verdun, Oct. 27, 8 p. m. (By the Associated Press.) Almost complete quiet reigned over the American front northwest of Verdun today. Not a single infantry action of any impor tance took place and there was a mini mum of patroling on both sides. The artillery which from the German side was mildly active on the American right during the night, ceased before daylight and was heard only intermit tently in the later hours. Despite sunshine throughout the day the visibility was so poor that the aviators could accomplish little. American fliers encountered few of the enemy. The advance on the extreme Ameri can left into Bourgogne woods yester day and the taking of the hamlet of Furnay was of first importance be cause it marks an extension of the American lines up the narrow valley, bringing the northeasterly curving line into the woods. This puts the Americans almost behind the trou blesome and costly Belle Joyeuse farm, which has been bitterly contested! Saving been won and lost several times in the last few days. FALL OF ALEPPO IS A CROWNING EVENT (Continued VYom Pace One). Constantinople branches, one line go ing southward to Palestine and the other east and south to Bagdad. With Aleppo in the hands of the British the Turkish forces facing the British army in Mesopotamia are in a more or less precarious position. The railroad from Aleppo has been their main support and the cutting of the line at Aleppo renders it useless to the Turks. An advance northward from Aleppo would cut off the Turkish forces in Armenia and northern Mesopotamia tizsA would open a road over which to send help to the Czecho-Slovak and other anti-Bolshevik forces in Russia. Aleppo has a population of about 1X5,000.

Answer, with your votes . . GENERAL BULLARD HOLDS LINE IN THE WOEVRE American Second Army Is Located by Pershing's Communique Report on American Front. Washington, Oct. 27. The American second army, under Major General Bullard is holding the line in the Woevre. This was disclosed by Gen eral Pershing in his communique for today, received tonight at the -war de partment. Repulse of heavy German attacks on the front northwest of Ver dun by Major General Liggett's first army also was reported. . The statement follows: "Northwest of Verdun the enemy renewed without success his attempts to regain the ground lost in recent fighting. Yesterday evening an at- ta.cz launched with strong forces against our positions between Banthe- ville and the Bois de Rappes broke down under our artillery fire before reaching our lines. East of thef Meuse there has been sharp fighting in the region of the Bois Belleau. "On the front of the second army there was lively artillery fighting in the Woevre." General Pershing's statements for Friday and Saturday also were receiv ed today. That for Friday says: "On the Verdun front there is no change in the situation." Saturday's communiqtl'e: "Northwest of Verdun our troops have made further progress in the Bois de Bourgogne, reaching the ham let of Fumay. Artillery fire has con tinued heavy, particularly in the re gion of Bantheville and east of the Meuse." CONFUTES REPUBLICANS WITH OWN LOGIC (Continued From Page One.) is now leading us back to peace Wil liam McKinley." From Senator Penrose: "In his re cent speeches' the president has ap peoled not to a partisian but to a na tional spirit, x x x x He wants Pennsylvania to remain the Keystone State for the republican party. It is difficult to over-estimate the supreme importance of sustaining the president of the United States and the republi can party at the present critical crisis in our foreign relations." Secretary McAdoo tonight issued a statement supplementing the presi dent's - appeal, declaring that the only way to secure continued unity of com mand in America is to return a con gress in full sympathy with the presi dent's views, policies and ideals. From Senator Foreaker: 'The war came while a republican administration was in power and must now be settled by that administration. I do not be lieve any fairminded democra would question the fitness of the republican party for the discharge of this duty, but however, it might be othewise the work is already in the hand of Presi dent McKenley. What he wants is the support of a republican house of repre sentatives." .. "Before America entered the war," Mr. McAdoo; Isaid, "the allies had suf fered repeated reverses because there was no unity of comma'nd. They were divided among themselves in authority. The first act of the president was to compel a unity of command under Gen. Foch. Ever.. since that time, America and her allies have been winning vic tories and triumphant conclusion of the war is if sight as long as unity of command arid of action is .preserved. Unity of command in Europe must be backed up wjith unity of command and action in America." FRENCH GAINS ON OISE-SERRE FRONT (Continued From Paee One.) metres east of Richecourt. A number of prisoners also were taken in this action. "On the front of the Serre, the Sec ond army, supporting the movement of the First army, also made gains. We crossed the Serre east of Assiz-sur-Serre and penetrated the German trenches. East of Sissonne, violent Germa'n counter-attacks in the region of the Maoquingy farm were broken up by our fire. Artillery fighting con tinued very lively on the front between Banogne and Nanteuil-Sur-Aisne. "Prisoners taken during tne fight ing October 26 and 27 between Sissone and Cfiateau Porcien number more than 2,450, including 51 officers." GERMANS LEAVE MANY DEAD AFTER ATTACK ON BRITISH London, Oct.' 27.

In the operation some 360 prisoners were captured. The remainder of the island was cleared of the enemy on the night of October 25-26 by a com bined movement of British troops from the north and troops of the 27th Ital ian division who crossed the Piave and attacked the southern end of the is land. In these operations some 350 additional prisoners were taken. "This morning the Austrians made' a violent counter-attack on the British troops holding the northern portion of the island.

ITALIANS REPULSE ATTACKS IN HEAVY FIGHTING SATURDAY Rome, Oct. 27. Heavy flgnting took place in the Monte Grappa area, the Italians repulsed Austrian attacks, the war office reports today.

Prof. Lammasch recently was asked to form an Austrian cabinet and accepted on condition that Austria Hungary immediately make a separate peace with the allies. Reports' frbm I Vienna say that Emperor Charles de clared that such a thing: "was impos sible, saying he had given his word of honor to the German - emperor not. to make a separate peace. . . ; . GREAT AIR ATTACK MADE BY AMERICANS Sixty Bombing and 8fr Combat Machines in Raid. German Troop Concentrations Bombed and Railroads Are Attacked Riefeenbacher Gets Another Two U. S. Planes Missing. With the American Army Northwest of Verdun, Oct. 27, 4 p. m. (By the Associated Press.) German troop con$ centrations in the region pf Briquenay, north of Grand Pre, were bombed this afternoon by about 60 all-American bombing airplanes with about 80 pur suit planes protecting them. Forma tions of from 15 to 20 German ma chines attempted to drive off the Americans and several aerial combats resulted. Lieut. Edward Rickenbacher was among the pursuit planes accompany ing the bombing squadron. He en gaged ,in two aerial combats and brought down a German machine within the American lines near Ex ermont. Rickenbacher followed the enemy machine close to the ground until he saw the enemy aviator land and fall into the hands of American infantrymen. Returning to his air drome, Rickenbacher heard the news of his promotion to a captaincy. The weather was fairly clear when word came that German troops were arriving at Briquenay by trains and that they were marching and being transported toward the Bourgogne wood. An expedition was quickly or ganized and was soon on the wing. In addition to bombing Briquenay and the railroad, the bombers dropped a few bombs in woods nearby and the pursuit planes attacked enemy troops with small bombs and machine guns. The bombers reported excellent results direct hits being obtained on railroad sheds. Two American planes are re ported missing. Over Grand Pre the left wing of a plane was struck by a German shell and the machine fell in flames within the German lines. The identity of the machine is uncertain but it is believed to have been an American. SOLF'S LATEST NOTE ASKS FOR THE TERMS (Continued From Page One.) powers on peace terms and an agree ment among the nations fighting Germany so that a -united front on these questions . may be presented to the common enemy. A London dispatch tonight announc ed that Premier Lloyd George and For eign Secretary Balfour had gone to Paris with military and naval advisers indicating that the conferences be tween -representatives of the allied powers and the United States soon were to begin. . Germany's reply does not change the diplomatic situation. Those in-the confidence of President Wilson have said that his dealings with the Ger man government ended with his note informing it that the request for an armistice and peace had been trans mitted to the allies and that further action rested with those governments. The German reply may or may not prove that Germany will accept such terms of an armistice as may be pre sented. In. this, connection the presi dent in his last note said: "Should such terms of an armistice be suggested their acceptance by Ger many would afford the best concrete evidence of her unequivocal accept ance of the terms and principles of peace upon which the whole action proceds." The German reply takes cognizance of the president's statement in his last note that it is evident that the power of the king of Prussia to con trol the policy of the empire is un impaired by stating that the peace negotiations are being conducted by a people's government in whose hands rests the power to make the deciding conclusions and to which the military powers also are subject. This may be added significance to the unofficial report from Berlin via Copenhagen that General Ludendorft had resigned. He generally was re garded as the virtual head of the Ger man high command. VICE-CHANCELLOR DECLARES FOR STRAIGHT-FORWARD DEAL Amsterdam, Oct. 27. In the course of a speech in the reichstag on Thursday the German vice-chancellor, Frederick Von Payer, said that the enemy's belief and the assertion that the German people were politically de prived of their rights and were so oppressed on small ruling classes that it constituted a constant danger for the peace of the entire world, had been the greatest hindrance to the attain ment of peace. This hindran.ee, he de clared had to be removed and the gov ernment had instituted far-reaching internal reforms, which were long overdue. On the previous day the vice-chancellor had said: "We need confidence, not merely at the war, we need the confidence of foreign countries, even the confidence of our enemies. For we want peace and we need it. Our enemies distrust our sincere intention to conclude a peace of jusastice. They mistrust us mainly on the ground of many events in the past, concerning which we can not take it amiss of them if they have certain doubts. "We have therefore no use for any one in the government who still afvors a peace of force more than a peace of justice. What we need in order to be able to exist is an unequivocal, hon est and straight forward policy. That alone can promote our welfare In the future." Charles Pores Champion. New York. Oct. 27.

As first quartermaster-general. Gen eral Ludendorff was responsible for the official statements issued from German general headquarters. He is the man who has explained to the German people how the German troops during the last three months have carried out "strategic withdraw als." LUDENDORFFS RESIGNATION SENSATIONAL TO THE SWISS Berne, Oct. 27. The resignation of General. Von Ludendorff has caused a sensation throughout Switzerland and the central empires and is commented on as a sign that German militarism is really abdicating. Amon the Ger man and Austrian peoples, anger and indigation is increasing over the fact that the military situation has been so long concealed or wrongly pre sented. LONDON BELIEVES IT SIGN HUNS LOSE lAITfl IN ARMY London, Oct. 27 (British Wireless.) Official announcement was made in Berlin Saturday night that Emperor Wiiiiam had acceded to the reiuest of General Ludendorff, the first quartermaster-general, that he be permitted to resign. General surprise was caused in Ber lin on Saturday afternoon by. the fact that the daily report from German headquarters was not signed, as usual, with the name of General Ludendorff. Later the following official announce ment was issued: "The emperor, accepting the request to be allowed to retire of Infantry General Ludendorff, the first quarter master and commander in time of peace of the 25th infantry brigade, has placed him on the unattached list. The emperor decided at the same time that the Lower Rhenish infantry regi ment No. 39, of which the general has long been chief, shall bear henceforth the name of Ludendorff." His resignation, it is believed in London, will still further shake the faith of the German people in their military machine. REPUBLICANS SPENDING HUGE SUMS IS CHARGE Women Urged Not to Buy Toys Made in Hnnland and Recently Shipped ' to Th.i Country. New Tork, Oct. 27. An appeal to the women of America to refuse to buy goods made in Germany "whether so marked or not," and particularly to prevent the sale in this country of a recent large, importation of Gejrman manufactured toys and china, was is sued tonight by Elizabeth Marbury, president of the Woman's National Committee of the American Defense Society. Her action followed a vigorous .pro test by the New York City Federation of Womens Clubs against sale of the German toys. One member suggested a twentieth Century "Boston tea party" to heave the offending goods overboard from the ship which brought them across the Atlantic, but the federation named a committee to investigate the importation, with a possibility of a direct appeal to President Wilson. Part of the German articles, which had been held at Rotterdam owing to war conditions, were abandoned to customs officials today by the con signee, an importing firm which bought and paid for them in the spring of 1014. HIGHER WAGES FOR ALL SHIPYARDS EVERYWHERE Upward Revialon Immediately Effec tive Announced at Washington Principal Trades SO Cent Base. Washington, Oct. 27.

Judging from the countless prepara tions and treatments which are contin ually being advertised for the purpose of making thin people fleshy, develop ing arms, neck and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and angles by the soft curved lines of health and beauty, there are evidently thousands of men and women who keenly feel their excessive .thinness. Thinness and weakness are usually due to starved nerves. Our bodies need more phosphate than is. contained in modern foods. Physicians claim there is nothing that will supply this deficiency so well as the organic phos phate known by the Bellamy Drug Co. and all druggists as bitro-phosphate, which is in expensive and is sold by most all druggists under a guarantee of satisfaction or money back.

D., editor of New York Physician's "Who's Who," says: "Bitro-Phosphate should be prescribed by every doctor and used in every hos pital to increase strength and nerve force and to enrich the blood." By feeding the nerves directly and by supplying the body cells with the necessary phosphoric food elements, bitro-phosphate quickly produces a welcome transformation in the appear ance; the increase in weight frequently being astonishing. This increase in weight also carries with it a general improvement in the health. Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of energy, which nearly always accompany excessive thinness, soon disappear, dull eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow with the bloom of perfect health. CAUTION: Although bitro-phosphate is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness, sleeplessness and general weakness, it should not, owing to its remarkable flesh-growing properties, be used by anyone who does not desire to put on flesh. adv. iiirtturrm n TObAY !
