Britain Propose Landing
Tremendous Forces
atSaloniki
POSITION OF SERBIA
IS1 MORE DESPERATE
Teuton and Bulgarian Forces
Only 35 Miles Apart In
vaders Hold Most of
Serbiaa Railroads.
London, Oct. 25. Reports
from the Balkans tell of the in
creasing gravity of Serbia's po
sition. To the north the Bui
gnrian and Austro-German in
vaders are within 35 miles, of
joining hands and to the south
oiu! Hlf of Serbia-Macedonia
iclil by the Bulgarians if the
IS
ret Kill that Uskup,' has., been
captured is correct. This means
that the invaders are in posses
sion of nearly all of means of
communication.
The only news favorable to
tlie entente allies is found in
the optimistic report concern
ing the Franco-Serbian offen
sivr near Krivolak, where the
Bulgarians are said to be giv
ing way before vigorous flank
attacks. "
If the British forces have left
"Siiloniki no news of the move
ment has been disclosed. Re
ports from various sources say
that the entente powers have
revised their, original plans for
assisting Serbia and now pro
pose the landing of a reyiend
ous contingent at Saloniki
wl i ich would meet the demands
of Greece and render effective
aid to Serbia.
Athens reports that the
Greek crown prince has gone to
Saloniki to view the inpouring
stream for French and British
fighting men. It is tSight that
the strength of the forces will
decide whether Greece will join
the allies.
Although Serbia does not ad
mit the loss of Uskup to the Bu
garians, the English papers ac-J
cept the report as' they do the
announcemnt that the Germans
have crossed the Danube at
Orsovo. This means that with
the Bulgarians holding Pra
liovo the union of the Bulgarian
forces with the Austro-Ger-m.-ms
is near, and unless Serbia

blow tin. first link in the chain

More Details
Of Armenian Atrocities
London, Oct. 25. A Ions: account by
an eyef-witness concerning the Arme
nian atrocities has been telegraphed to
London by Reuter's correspondent
with the Dardanelles fleet. The state
ment is from official sources, the cor
respondent explaining1 that it was tak
en a prisoner.
The account begins at Erzerum, the
principal city In Turkish Armenia, last
March, and covers his travels about
various parts of Armenia and gives
details of various atrocities along fa
miliar lines how the Bishop of Slvas
was shod with red hot iron by a village

Berlin. Oct. 25. Dr. Constantin
Theodor Dumba, former Austrian am
bassador to the United States, who
arrived here yesterday from America,
gave out the following interview:
"As to the causes which necessitated
my return to Vienna, I need not go
into details. The case has been treat
ed so fully In the press that it is un
nessary for me to renew it but if you
ask me if the tales are true which
were spread about oru trip which
reached a climax In the report that
the people aboard the steamer oa
ceptlon of the war. The opinion of
virtually the entire Russian army is
that In General AlexlefC we have at
our hand the highest military ability
that Russia possesses. He is a quiet,
rather shy man with an enormous ca
pacity for work, and in a crisis actu
ally directs personally the most im
portant movements.
"It is stated that during 4h4 retreat
from Vllna almost every detail was
directly arranged by General Aloxleff,
while there is no doubt details of the
sweeping withdrawal from Warsaw.

London, Oct. 26. A semi-official
statement Issued at Athens and tele
graphed to Reuter's Telegram com
pany here emphatically denies, 'the
German report that the Greek repre
sentative at Petrograd had a long con
versation with the head of the Balkan
affairs department, and that the latter
used threatening language and spoke
of a blockade of the coasts of Greece
by the entente powers."

but did not fir Into the residential
districts of the city. Besides this the
fleet destroyed a number of military
posts along the Bulgarian coast."
Athens. Oct. 22. (By way of Paris,
Oct. 23.) The Berblan minister u
Greece announces that German op

country have been temporarily sus

the state department; Paul Jones,
head of the Junior order; Dr. H. Q.
Alexander, president of the State
Farmers' union; and C. R. Hudson
of the farm demonstration forces, will
speak.
The Illiterates have been gathered
by the farmers' union and the wom
an's civic betterment association. The
census flglures had nhot pictured the
conditiolns as quite needful of reme
dial work as the betterment society
and the union found them. The com
munity isn't large, s just an ordinary
school district with population enough
to support a high school n the coun
try. Yet, embraced in that territory
are nearly 60 known illiterates who
are to be reached.

the union and Its work against Illit

Mr. Hudson will employ, for the

who cannoto read the prlnthed page,
the conditions which these workers
will make effort to correct. This
starter Is designed to aid the moon
light school work over tha! county
and others will later bo vlsitled. It
Is a novel undertaking, certainly the
first time any such thing has been
done In North Carolina.
Through the work of the women,
who found thirty Illiterates when
t,hey thought only thirty-seven existed
th that community, aim the men who
discovered yet another thirty, the
conditions hnve become nnown and
the work of those teachlnlg moonlight
schools Isl understood. These teachers
know how big Isl the task. They
know that Its magnitude has not been
properly presented to the people and
that the sooner It Is the quicker will
be the responh.se. Bulhletlns with les

'This Investigation was undertaken
at the instance of Commissioner "VV.
J. Harris, to whose attention com
plaints had come that such combina

submitted the matter to the commis
sion. "The Information was to the effect
that for years past In these three

two Carollnas varying prices for cct1
ton were offered differing ln amounts
as much as half a cent a pound at two
points no more than 20 miles distant
from each other.

the complaint seems to have been the
sole result of the workings of the
combination. For Instance it was cited
that many cities and towns had no live
markets, due to the fact that division
of territory for buying purposes had
been made one territory to one buy
er and another to another."
"The alleged practices are said to
be confined to certain places Indicated
In the complaint to a greater extent,
possibly, than to other points within
the states specified."
Members of the commission said
that If the allegations of the com

nation would constitute a restraint of

authorized to proceed under the anti
