" ; ; -Movement of freight in' and, out pt WjTlmingtqfn. via the Atlantic Coast Line is estimated to have fallen off approximately 50 per cent during the past few months, it was made known by an official of .the railroad yesterday. The shipments nave become so light that already freight train service on two lines in the; Wilmington district or the A. C. I have been cut In half; and should there not be an improvement shortly other curtailments likely will follow. Only last week local freight' trains that were operated daily between Wil mington and " Chadbourn, on the W. C. & A: branch, .and thence from Chad bourn to Florence, were made tri weekly trains.-' Effective today the regular daily -J freight service on the Chadbourn-Conway branch will be made tri-weekly.

COMPLETE ATfARCHY IS THE AMERICAN SOVIET REPUBLIC CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan! 2. News from Armenia continues confused. The territory of the Armenian soviet republic is the scene of important mil itary movements of Russian troops. The country appears to be in a state of complete anarchy; the bulk of the Armenian .army has taken to the hills and many towns and "villages are be ing looted. The Georgian foreign minister has appealed to soviet Russia, for protec tion against Bolshevik Infractions of treaties whereby supplies of o'll have been withheld from trains sent to Baku and seized. He calls attention to the concentration oft Bolshevik forces on the frontier and the erection of mili tary works within the neutral zone. Bolshevik Cossacks have concentrated in Georgian territory, disarmed the populations and , looted villages. The Georgia representative .nd staff, it was stated, have been held up by the soviet Armenian government. BETHLEHEM STEEL REDUCES WAGES 10 TO 20 PER CENT! BALTIMORE. Md.. Jan. 2. A 10 to 20 per cent reduction of waires. af fecting ail classes of emDloves at the Sparrows Point plant of the Bethle- nem steel company was announced lat night. The decrease is effective Jan uary 16, and, is said by company of ficials to be due to "business conditions and a decrease in , prices of steel products." v Several thousand men will be af fected. The company- employs in nor mal times 5,000 to 6,000 men, although the working force has been Somewhat redyced in the last six weeks, BOOZE BOATt MYTHICAL Officer WH. Kermon called up 'the police station earJy .yesterday morning and reported that somebody had, told him that a boat loaded with whiskey had docked at the foot of Grace strtet. Officers C. E.

' Railroad officials look for the light moyenlent to continue for a " while and slowly -'return to normal. ' ' lrfs said that the amount of freight coming in to the local .wholesale and retail merchants is unusually light for this -time of the year. The quantity being shipped out by them to the coun try trade in this territory is also .far below normal. .It seems, .the railroad men say, that everyone,: including the buyer and the seller, are marking time, awaiting a change in the general con dition. Lumber, which ordinarily moves in great quantities vfin. the Wilmington district of the Coast'Line, is not being shipped at all at the present' time. This is due to the fact that practically every lumber mill in this section has closed down because there is not any market for the output. Shipments of fuel wood, which" in past years has always been heavy into Wilmington during the winter, Us now at a standstill, the railroad men say. Ordinarily the A. C I has not been able to furnish enough cars to haul fuel wood to this city from points along the branches in this district. Another commodity that until now always moved heavily during the win ter is fertilizer materials. But be-i cause the farmer s not buying at the present the material is stored in the harbor terminals tnjstead of almost con gesting the lines on account of heavy shipments.

Bishop Darst has secured a leadership which has made the diocese of East Carolina one of the banner dioceses of the American church, and his services are In frequent demand outside the limits of his bishopric. a Prayers were offered yesterday in all Episcopal churches throughout the country for a blessing upon the efforts now being put to unite the Orthodox churches of the East with the Aglican cnurcn Where it was feasible and practical, priests of the Episcopal and Orthodox churches exchanged parishes yesterday. A . large number of the Greeks of this city attended the services in St. John's church and were very appreciative of the fraternal greeting, and the' prayers offered for the restoration of St. Sophia to its rightful custodian, the Greek Orthodox church. It will be recalled that when the Turks captured Constantinople they violated the church of St. Sophia and turned It into , a Mohammedan mosque. Since then the faithful Greek has longed for the time when the church would be used for its original purpose. WAXT SLUMP IX CABINET BRISTOL. Va.-Tenn., Jan. 2.

" Letters, setting forth the fact -'that th6 cattle tik is costing the state a million: do liar annually, have just-been mailed to each and every one of. the. members of the general .assembly in hopes of getting support for the bill. President McGirt has just received a letter from State Veterinarian Moore, in Raleigh, which states that, during the calendar year the state division of veterinary supervised the dipping of 175,000 cattle, which represents a large number of owners and reveals that the work is not as unpopular as some would make it appear. State Veterinarian Moore, in his let ter, further stated that there is -io authority to compel the tick -infested counties to adxpt eradication and it is impossible for the state and federal governments to complete tick eradi cation in any county without the moral and financial support of the county. The proposed tick eradication bill has the unanimous approval of -the state board Qf agriculture and does not carry an appropriation; neither does it relate to stock law.
