last night northeast of Sou
chez, according to the French
official statement given out this
afternoon.
London, Oct. 19. Italy has
declared Avar againsf Bulgaria,
.but the question as to whether
tilie will send troops to join the
British and French forces in
Serbia remains as obscure as
the results of the fighting that
is raging on Serbia's eastern
frontier. The Austro-German
armies which occupied Bel
grade apparently have advanc
ed more than 15 miles south of
the city, but the outcome of
the fighting between the Bui
grians and the Serbians in the
important Saloniki-Nish rail
road front cannot be summed
np so easily. '
At two points in the northern
most part of Serbia, one of
which is Vranya, the Bulgar
lans assert . that they have
reached the railroad, while to
the south' the Serbians are re
ported to have driven back the
invaders. .
BcrKn, Oct. 18. The Serbian
forces in the Macva district on
the Save-Drina front, in north
west Serbia which offered
strong resistance to the German
offensive, have begun to re
treat, according to a statement
by the German army head
quarters - '
Paris, Oct. 18. French forces

Six Automobile Bandits
Rob Two Freight Trains
New York, Oct. 19. Six armed men
held up and robbed two freight trains
and attempted to rob an express train
on the West Shore railroad at the end
of the tunnel between Cungres and
Haverstraw, early today. After lo.-ul-Ipg
an automobile with packages from
the two freight trains the bandits es
caped. '
Arriving at the mouth of the tunnel
In an automobile the bandits tam
pered with the wires controlling the
signals, causing the light to show red.
This halted the first train and as It
came to a stop, the hold-up men ap

by race hatred as well as by the desire
for loot 20 Mexicans who claimed to
be followers of Luis de La Rosa, leader
of the so-called." Texas revolution; held
up and robbed a. train near Olmlto,
seven miles north or nere laie last
night. As a result three men are dad,
one probably fatally injured and four
others wore seriously hurt.
The bandits are believed to havo
escaped into Mexico.
The scene of the robbery Is three
miles from the Rio Grande river. The
Mexicans as they fired at the train
crew and passengers shouted, "Viva
Pizano! Viva Carranza!"
Strumltsa ln Southwestern . Bulgaria,
but there are available no official
reports relating to the struggle ln
this Quarter and none Is expected un
til the fighting has reached a more
conclusive stage.
The removal, of General Sir Ian
Hamilton from the command of the
Dardanelles forces was received 1ft
England with mixed feelings, Coming
sibie withdrawal of allied force from
the Gallipoll peninsula, in tne uesi
informed circles, however, the ap
pointment as commander in chief of
the Dardanelles forces of Major Gen

aa Indicating that the campaign will
be prosecuted with renewed energy
under a leader of such aoility.
Amazon Army.
Chicago, Oct 19. John R. Palan
dech, Serbian leader and editor ad
dressing a meeting of Serbians de
clared that an army of 250,000 Ser
bian women, equal in numbers to the
entire Serbian regular army, would
soon be on the firing line against the
German and Austrian forces,
"No women In the world are more
courageous than the Serbian women,"
Mr. Palandech said, "and they are not
going to sit at home and see their
fathers, husbands and brothers driven
out of Serbia. Many Serbian women
have been killed fighting at the
front, and I have learned from our
native land that it will be but a short
time until the army of women soldiers
will equal that of the men."
Carson Resigns.
London. Oct. 19. Sid Edward Car
son, attorney general, has resigned
from the British cabinet.
The resignation of Sir Edward Car
son, the first open manifestation of
the divergence of views known to ex
ist amonv the ministers is the result,
according to an authoritative state
ment, not of the controversy over
conscription, but of the condition Qf
affair ln the near east
Sir Edward himself so far, has
made no personal explanation of rea
sons for1 resigning but It Is under
stood that he disapproves of the policy
followed ln the Balkans and the
method of confiding the whole na
tional policy to a small "Inner cabi
net." .

The second freight train robbed was ,
halted and looted n a similar manner.
When the American Express train
stopped at the red signal the bandits
neglected to leave a man with the en

with the intention of breaking open

relations between the United States
and Mexico will be formally renewed
today after a Idpse of two years and
eight months by the formal recogni
tion of Venustlano Carranza as the
chief executive of the de facto govern
ment of Mexico.
Secretary Lansing and the ambas
sadors from Brazil, Chile and Argen
tina, and the ministers from Bolivia,

would be virtually impossible to con
struct the 1$ vessels ln less time than
the period fixed.
Mr. Daniels said he. thought the
program approved by the president
would be found the most economical
and sensible to be pursued unless a
great emergency should arise.
With the estimates of the war and
navy departments submitted for the
coming year, the breadth of the ad
mlnintrst!on's policy as to prepared
ness Is bUng realized. It shapes up
in totals as follows:
Navy: For shipR and Increased per
sonnel ln five years, 1500,000,000.
Army: For reserve material (arms
and ammunition) within four years,
$105,000,000.
For new coast defenses and mod
ernization of old forts within four
years, $81,00,000. ,
For the new continental army and
the proposed Increase In the regular
army, $26,000,000. (This amount
probably will be a continuing and If
anything increasing appropriation
through the first six-year period,
which would make the total expendi
ture at that time $156,000,000).
The grand total expenditure thus
actually planned Would be $842,000,
000. These expenditures would produce
by 1925 a first line of drearinnught
and battle cruisers numbering forty
three; a fleet of coast defense sub
marines that would fringe the At
lantic and Pacific coasts with an al
most solid line of Interior defense
against attack; a fleet of nearly ITS
destroyers and squadrons of huge sen-
going fleet submarines to operate
with the battle fleets.
For the army, there would-be at th
end of six y"ars a trained force of
1,200,000' men, Including a regular
continental army and reserves; a ring
of fully manned roast defense,
equipped with the largest and most
powerful guns yet built and a vast
reserve of field guns, machine guns,
howitzers and big gun ammunition,
In addition the enormously Increased
capacity ' of private munition plants
would give assurance of ample sup
plies of small arms and field gun am
munition. A definite step toward enlarging the
navy was taken yesterday when con
tracts were awarded for twenty-two of
the fighting craft authorized by the
last congress. They are six big cruiser
destroyers and sixteen roiutt defense
submarines. The day aet a new
record for the department In the num
ber of contracts awarded.
.Neither war nor navy department
estimates for the coming year have
been made public as yet In detail. It
was learned, however, that of the
$73,000,000 Increase over la.t year's
bill to be asked by the war department
$ K., 000, 000 would go toward reserve
material and coast defense works, the
remaining 116,000,000 to he used, In

buntiord Martin, Senator
Santford Martin, editor of the Winston-Salem
Journal, Is coming to
Raleigh at the next general assembly
if the good fellows can do for him
what the bad ones did for Lorimer
"put him over," He will be the next
senator. , ,
T11h story is a nifty scoop upon
Senator Martin's home paper. It Is the
big news of the fifth. Even Colonel
Falrbrother has not heard it but the
very biggest men in Winston-Salem
have authorized an open and shut an
nouncement and if Editor Martin does
not succeed Hugh Chatham it will be
because fate, destiny, the gods, the
devils and the republicans have con
spired against him.
The young editor will step right into
the Chatham shoes if the y. e. will.
The democrats are beholden to Sena
tor Martin who has fought Colonel
Falrbrother on the side and Charley
Reynolds on the other ewr since he
began editing the Journal. They de
clare that Senator Martin has written
all round Governor Reynolds and has
from the senator's youth been the
heavy artillery of the democracy. He
can write, speak and take hard knocks
and would make a smart campaign.
Mr. Martin gained high praise from
leaders of the democracy like Clarence
Poe, Collector J. W. Bailey, A. L.
Brooks, R. R. Williams and Governor
Glenn, and weekly gibes from Colonel
Falrbrother for championship of the
10 amendments last fall, constitution
al changes that he still believes In
I principles which ho-would doubtless
light hard for on the floor of the sen
ate. Every generally assembly Pro
duces a few editors but rarely one of
the Martin calibre. Ills coming down
here will be a delight.
Then he need not join Issues with
Falrbrother. The Cdlonel Is not In his
district and believes In local self-gov-ern-ment
with the accent on the last
syllable. The only possible prejudice
that the Martin candidacy can raise ln
Falrbrother's mind is its origin as a
news Item in the state capital. Nomi
nations under a Raleigh date line do
not strike him with a great measure
of favor.
Captain Iangdon Transferred
Captain Russell C. Langdnn, who
has been nearly three' years United
Htates Infantry Instructor of the Nortn
Carolina National guard, has received
orders directing him to proceed to
Washington, near the end of October j
for new duties at the war department.
The order relieves Captain Langdon
on the date of his departure which
will be October 28. Mrs. Lrtngdon will
remain In Raleigh a few days to allow
the transfer of her household effete
when she will join Captain I-angdon ln
Washington.
The army officer haa hud no Intima
tion as to his new duties. His has
