JWOMEMMUTO ' ? HOLD DP A. M'BUIE Cumberland Man Robbed of a Considerable Sum. HiRhwaymfn Approach Him At His ' Home and While One Shakes His Hand the Other Masks Him John F. Gilmore Dead. (Special Star Correspondence.) Fayetteville, ec. 22. A. McBuie, manager and supervisor of the "To kay" vineyard, near here, was held up and robbed by two unknown men who appeared at "Tokay" atout dusk in a big automobile and asked for Mr. Mc Buie. Being, directed to his dwelling by a colored woman on the place, the strangers called Mr. McBuie to the front of the house. One of the .men spoke to him by name and 'offered to shaKe hands. Ae he was shaking hands with tne first man the second threw some sort of heavy cloth over the manager's head and held him tightly from behind while the other went through his pockets and secured a considerable sum of money which Mr. McBuie had on his person. After obtaining the money the strangers leaped into the waiting car and sped away in true movie style. Mr. McBuie does not know the exact amount of the money which his cal lers secured. John Frederick Gilmore, retired manufacturer, died at his home on Haymount here Friday afternoon after a long period of ill health. The de clining state of his health had forced his retirement as head of the Gilmore Rankin Lumber company 18 months ago and he had since travelled exten sively, seeking to improve his condi tion. Mr. Gilmore was 58 years old on the day of his death, "having been born on December 20, 1860, in Bladen county. He was reared in Robeson county and resided there until 9 years ago when ihe came to this city. Surviving him are his wife, who before marriage was Miss Annie Johnson, or iaice uixy, C, and two sisters, Mrs. M. C. Pat Arsnn. of Bladen county, and Miss Ce- lia Gilmore, of St. Paul. Mr. Gilmore was a conservative ana- successful bus iness man and possessed a genial na ture that made him well liked. The funeral services were held from the First Presbyterian church at 3:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon, being con ducted, by Dr. W. E. Hill, the pastor. WAR SAVINGS STAMPS PAY GOOD INTEREST Those Bought In December Yield 4.55 Per Cent, Higher Than Any Other Government Security. BAVARIAN PARTIES JOII IN ISSUING ULTIMATUM Appeal to the Government Aeralnst hjuotlc C3citim W'hl a Tend , Toward Anarchy. Munich, Friday, Dec. 20. (By the As sociated Press) So chaotic have con ditions become during' the past week or two, three of the leading parties have combined, for the first time in years, to issue what amounts ito an ultimatum to the Bavarian govern ment. The Bavarian people's party, the German people's party, and the Munich branch of the liberal party have signed the appeal. The socialist party did not sign the ultimatum which reads: . "Recent occurrences, especially those of the last few days, leave no doubt that we are facing danger from anar chy. The press: Is threatened, freedom of assembly exists no longer end the ballot is at stake. Will the national assembly, if it is ever chosen, be able to count on meeting? Has the govern ment no will to rule or no power? "Your own party, a majority oL the members of which are soldiers Daretl from death during ' the war, wants a rule of terror by unrestrainel rowdies as little as we. But , the povf-r and strength' of order is crippled if the government's will to rule cease3. Does the government want order, or does it want anarchy? We direct these ques tions openly to the provisional govern ment, especially to the present minis ter, President Eisner. We expect , and demand a definite and unequivocal an-i swer; not only in words, but in action, with comprehensive and aggressive acts that will not brook delay. "Should this answer not. be given, we will know, and all Bavaria will know that neither from the present government nor from the assembly to be elected under its responsibility ie there anything else to be expected than steady degeneration into the bol shevist abyss." RESTRICTIONS ONr- Millers removed Licenses, However, Will Be In Force For Awhile Yet. Regmlatlons Governing Public Eating .Houses Will be. Oft Beclnnlnjr To day Will Still Fight Profiteering. r WALTER HINES PAGE DIES AT PINEHURST Winston-Salem, Dec. 22. The bank ers of the state are calling to the at tention of the public the fact that war savings stamps purchased in Decem ber at 54.23 will pay the investor over 4.55 per cent interest, which is the 'highest rate of interest received on any security yet issued by the govern ment. For the reason that the stamps mature in four years, January 1, 1923, and give both the large and small in vestor an opportunity not only to in vest his money in safety on an unus ually attractive basis, but -an oppor tunity to render his government as sistance in paying the enormous war 3ebt, the stamp is the most attractive Investment that is before the public at this time. Persons who are contemplating buy jig stamps of the 1919 issue, and those who are asking for an opportunity to redeem their war savings pledges in 1919 stamps, will do well to consider what is to be gained by buying stamps in December of 1918. Stamps bought in December of this year bear 4.55 per tent interest against a rate of 4.20 per cent interest if bought in January or February of next year. In addition to this, stamps bought this year ma ture one year earlier than those bought next year. MONEY MORE THAN HONOR, TO HVN SUBMARINE CREW Amsterdam, Dec. 22. Although Ad miral Beatty, commander of the British grand fleet, refrained from requiring the delivery of the German submarine U-9 with which Commander Weddigen torpedoed and sank three British crui Bers, out of consideration for the "glor ious record" of his boat, says the Co logne Volks Zeitung, the submarine uras delivered to the British because the German crew was unwilling to forego the opportunity of earning the 600 marks promised to each man for taking the boat to England.

In his work on the "Upbuild ing of, Old Commonwealths" Mr. Page disclosed his interest in the culture of a broad national feeling in the south. He was interested' in the moral and political education of thenegro " and formerly was a member of the Sani tary Commission for the Eradication of the Hookworm, to which John D. Rockefeller contributed. For years Mr. Page was a close student of finance. Commissioned as an educational ex pert to visit all the principle cities of the United States and irivestigate the work done in the public schools, Mr. Page wrote a series of articles which were influential in causing the reorga nization of school systems in several large cities. At one time Mr. Page was engaged in journalism being connected with the staff of the New York Evening Post. For five 'jfears he was editor of the magazine, The Forum, afterward editor of The Atlantic Monthly and Literary advisor to the Houghton, Mif flin Co. One of his books, 'The Southerner," aroused much comment in the south. As American Ambassador, Mr. Page participated in many of the important diplomatic conferences and exchanges growing out of the delicate relations between the United States and Great Britain at the time when England was blockading Germany before the United States entered the war. As Ambassa dor he presented to the British Gov ernment American notes in protest against the British treatment of Am erican commerce and held numerous conferences with British statesmen over thisand other moot questions ris ing from the war. One of these wag the American note to Great Britain protesting against the misuse of the American flag when the United States was a neutral. Mr. Page was at that time one of the agents through which the few diplomatic dealings between Germany and Great Britain were con ducted. It was Mr. Page who 'effect ed an agreement between England and Germany under which . the United States as 'well as England was enabled to feed the starving Belgians. Mr. Page received numerous degrees and decorations for his diplomatic ser vices abroad. He resigned as Ambas sador in the latter part of August, 1918 on account of ill health. Regret .at his retirement was expressed by the British press and by American circles in London. He returned to New York in October suffering from heart disease and so ill that he was taken at once to a hospital. Mr. Page married Alice Wilson, daughter of William Wilson of Michi gan. A daughter, Katherine Alice Page was married to Charles G. Lor- ing in London. (Special Star .Correspondence.) Raleigh, Dec. 22. In line with the policy it has pursued since the signing of the armistice, the food administra tion is consistently and as rapidly as possible removing definite rules and regulations affecting the handling and consumption of food stuffs. State Food Administrator Henry A. Page today announced that practical , all rules and regulations - affecting the wheat and corn milling industry have been rescinded effective immediately. Mills wiir remain under license and be sub ject to some degree of control, but the regulations fixing a fair price schedule on feeds, the percentage of extraction, etc., are removed. Effective Monday, December 23, the definite regulations governing public eating places are rescinded. The state food administrator has written to he 2,000 public eating places in North Carolina advising them of the removal of these restrictions, but pointing out that there is even greater need for food conservation now than there would Have been at this time had the war continued. The definite restrictions are lemoved because there is no longer any war necessity, for them. The mo tive for conservation from now on is humanitarian, and, therefore, the mat ter of conservation must be left to the conscience of consumers. On account of the removal of a large number of rules and regulations, and a consequent decrease in the vol ume of wcrk handled by the food ad ministration. effective January 1, the organization of the food administration will be very materially reduced. Al ready the sugar division has abandoned the field. After this month the office staff which, with clerical and steno graphic help, numbered approximately 35 during the summer and fall, will be constituted as foiiows: John Paul Lu cas, executive secretary; Jos. B. Che shire, Jr., director of enforcement; Mrs. F. P. W. Adackes, chief clerk; Miss Emeth Tuttle, chief, price inter preting division, together with one or two stenographers. The food administration has. released six of the fifteen offices it has occu pied, and within the next two or three weeks will release others. The state organization, consisting of county, city ani township food administrators, will remain intact, keeping steadfast on the Job until the food administration auto matically goes out with the coming of formal peace , The chief activity of the food admin istration, until the signing of the treaty of peace, will be the preventing of speculation and profiteering in es sential products; and the direction and promotion of such a degree of food conservation as will enable' America to fulfill its pledge to export 20.000,000 tons of food stuffs to starving Euro pean nations. Because of the necessity for the con tinued control of food prices and prof its, the food administration win main tain a sufficient inspection xorce in the state to detect and punish any mer chants who are disposed to take ad vantage of the world, food situation In order to profiteer. The schedule of wholesale and re tell profits promulgated by the . food administration remain effective, and will no doubt be effective until the treaty of peace is formally signed. The schedule of prices: on cottonseed and cottonseed products, it is indicated,' will also remain unchanged. FOREIGN TRADE NOW BEGINNING TO PICK UP November Exports Show Considerable Gain Over October and Also Over November Last Year. SHOWED ABILITY AS WRITER AND SPEAKER WHEN A BOY Raleigh, Dec. 22. Former Ambassa dor Page, as a boy at Cary, studied un der a private tutor, Adolphus G. Jones. He is remembered as being unusually precocious, revealing in his boyhood days signs of ability as a speaker and writer. His father, Allison F. Page, was a wealthy lumberman and gave his son every advantage. Mr. Page, during the time that he was editing the State Chronicle here, was one of a small group of men who started the movement which resulted in the founding of the state agricul tural and mechanical college. STATE DEPARTMENT TO HAVE REPRESENTATIVE AT FUNERAL Washington, Dec. 22. News of the death of former Ambassador Page reached officials of the state depart ment tonight from members of Dr. Page's family at Pinehurst and it was' received with the deepest regret. The department will send an official rep resentative to Aberdeen to attend the funeral. Without experience in tne diplomatic field until his appointment by Presi dent Wilson to the Court of St. James in April, 1913, Dr. Page soon manifest ed to the satisfaction of the state de partment that the diplomatic business of the government i nGreat Britain' safely could be entrusted to -him. i With the outbreak of the war, Dr. Page was called upon to 'nandly the delicate diplomatic negotiations be tween the American - and British gov ernments growing, out of the British blockade and after the United' States became a belligerent, there 'fell to the embassy in London the .great mass of business imoosed by the f arrangement for the full co-operation . Of ' America with the allies in .supplying vast stores of war materials, foodstuffs, and In'ar ranglng extension of 'financial, aid to the allied governments. $. Dr: Page's health began vto- fail early last summer ; and, . in August ,r he sent his resUcjxalion to President Witfonj : Washington, Dec. 22.
