Mr. Bynum wrote the short note, in which he desired to inform all who cared to read that his afe was not locked and of course being unlocked could not contain money, or at least that was the. idea of placing the sign there. 1 But it happened that there was money in the safe, although Mr. By num and the robbers did not know it.

Not only did Mr. Bynnm leave the safe nlocked bt the door to the office from the plant was left nlocked and it was evidently throgh this door that the robbers entered.

E1LLS WINS THE JAPANESE COURT Probable That Massachusetts Woman Will Gain Posses sion of Child. ', Tokio, Nov. 26. Mrs. Harriet A. Ellis of Massachusetts has won the first decision in the battle for the pos-' session of her child which has engag ed the attention of two ' continent?. As reported by cable yesterday, the district court of Tokio handed down a judgment against John Ellis in the suit brought by his wife for the per manent possession of their eight year old daughter, Olga Natalie. Mr. Ellis at once made an appeal to the Tokio court of appeal, announcing throvgh his lawyer, at the same time, that if the appeal court rules against him, he will continue the fight to th9 su preme court of Japan. It is expected that the case will require another six months or a year for definite settle ment. It is likely that Mrs. Ellis will apply for a temporary order from the court for the Immediate custody of the child pending the result of the appeal. This temporary possession will probably be opposed by the defendant. The Japanese court reached its de cision without going into the question of the respetctive fitness of the parents to act as the girl's guardian. The Judges refused to consider this point of the case.' They held that the de cision of the court of Massachusetts, from which Mrs. E.HU had two de crees giving her the custody of her daughter, has created a legal status that ought to be recognized in Japan, Just as the status of marriage per formed abroad is recognized here. The decision was based largely on consideration of public policy, it be ing the attitude of the court that a Judgment against Mrs. Ellis would af fect the validity of the law of Japan in similar cases In the United States. Mr. Ellis, who la a teacher of Eng. Ilsh in the Higher Commercial school, took his daughter from his wife In 1813 and came to Japan. An attempt to have him extradited having failed, Mrs. Ellis herself came to Japan to begin the fight for the custody of her daughter. All .attempt at reconcilia tion of the couple have failed. v ARGENTINE CENTENARY PLANS ARE CURTAILED Bueno Aires, Nov. 26.

Washington, Nov. 26. With the con quest and opennlng up of the connect ing link in the Orient railway between Belgrade and Sofia by Teutonic and Bulgarian allies, a vast storehouse rich In much needed raw materials has bee made accessible for the supply of the hard pressed central powers. . Proba bly the most important feature of this accomplishment is the bringing of the Austro-Hungarian and German na tions into communication with lands where are found minerals and products ot agriculture in abundance; though the control of the Orient railway, alBo, enanies the remunitioning of Turkev and the transportation of German trops to territories threateningly near the Suez canal. A sketch of the stores of Aisia-Minor , or Anatolia, upon which the Germans will now be able to draw, is contained in a bulletin Just issued by the National Geographic society. The bullletin reads: The mineral and agricultural ! wealth of Turkey-in-Asla is very great This however, is largely of the poten tial kind, for except in limited areas, agriculture is carried on according to primitive methods, while, for the most part, the mineral stores haye been left untouched. Among the minerals knowA to exist In considerable quan ities 1 are iron, copper, nickel, lead, manganese, silver, sulphur, coal, anti mony, arsenic, emery, fuller's earth, gold, kaolin, zinc, alum asbestos salt- rock, boracide chfom and mercury. Of these resources, the copper stores will, likely, be prized by the Germans, though little has been done under Turkish administration toward exploit ing the copper. The reserves of Ana tolian copper ase said to be large. "Wheat, corn and barley are grown in large quantities in Asia Minor, and, in normal times, much of the surplus barley has been exported to Great Britian, where it has been used for brewing. There is a considerable sur plus of wheat which should relieve the reported mear scarce ty In the mills of the central powers. The west coast of Asia Minor is noted for the fruits that ripen in its Mediterranean climate. Here are grown an important part of the world's raisin , crop. Olives and figs also thrive along Aegean coast. Where hot summer swelters over the northern Anatolia coasts of the finest Turkish tobacco is raised, ' which in all llkehood, is now a rare luxury among German smokers. A sort of tobacco is grown in Germany, a pale. Insipid, unfragrant leaf, which bears little resemblance to the rich tobacco of Americe, Turkey and the East In dies. Great quantities of her hazelnuts are among the exports of this area, and cotton, another staple which the Germans are said to be greatly in need of, is grown in the district of Kassa ba and Aidln in the west, and on the Chlllclan plain in the southeats. "All through Turkey-ln-Asia, there has been but little accomplishment to ward building up a manufacturing in dustry. Olive oil soap is estenslvely manufactured at Smyrna; carpets are woven In various places, mostly pro ducts of home Industry, leather is produced; and cigareettes are made in large numbers. In Syraia, there ar Important weaving, dyeing and tunning Industries at Aleppo and Aintab and there is some small manufacture in Mesopotamia. ' "The principal exports of Asia Minor are raisins, tobacco, figs, barley, liquo rice, wool, hides, cotton skins. Owing to the backward organization of the country It is difficult to assign any values to the annual exports of tlu e articles, which would be worth consid ering. The leading exports of Syria In clude lemons, oranges, sesame, soap, Ilk, barley and liquorice, while Meso potamia exports large shipment of date, wool, barley wheat and opium. Yemen, in Arabia, the land which la mostly a desert, export the famous mokha cofTe. Coffee I said to be very scare In Germany now. Dates are about the only other export from Arabia of any importance. . "Tho climate ot Syria is of the ex treme Mediterranean type, and most of th soil is fertile. In great part, however, it remain unworked. Silk worm ar raised in many part of the land, and, before th war' outbreak most of th silk wu sent for manufac ture to Lyon, France. Some silk is spun in Syria. Cotton I an Important crop around Idlb and a surplus grain crop la raised. Much of one fertile ' . m. ,,, Mesopotamia la now desert. The old irregatlon system have fallen to decay and wher forty centurle ago the land was fruitful, today la merely wastage.

Raleigh over flowing with the cream of Its profes-. slonal citizenship, the North Carolina . Teachers' - assembly, celebrated Thanksgiging yesterday in large and varied manner and offered new argu ment for making the city the teacher permanent home, . Th eassembly sat in a body in the) great auditorium which was converted into the sanctuary . today. Bishop Thomas C. ?'Darst of Wilmington preached the baccalaureate sermon. He was not afraid In the multitudin ous causes for Thanksgiving to name Woodrow Wilson among them and to call him a Joshua raised up for tho preservation of a "Peace with honor." Bishop Darst, the youngest of the) Episcopal "prelates, took his theme from First Tessalonians, fifth chap ter and the eighteenth verse: "In. everything give thanks." He began all an hour when the call of dinner was loud. Preliminaries in music and in, the making of announcements deferr ed the sermon to 1 o'clock, but he lost only the musicians who volunteered to make the program today one of the ;is4embly's features. - The Peace and Mereaith singers with an orchestra led by that wonderful Belgian, Miss Rueg-. ger, gave the auditorium the touch ofs another world. ' , . , Bishop Darst spoke less than thirty , minutes. In that half hour .he had : time to preach a finished sermon of thanksgiving which revered the cus tom of the fathers in the making and complimented the wisdom of the son in its preservation. Abundant harv ests he found, manufactories bury, trade nnd commerce brisk, the over worked many but the unemployed rel atively few. . Prosperity in fields, .in, shops and factories, In mines and on the high seas, in these all he found WltSO cause for gratefulness because they make for education, for religion and for civilization. He saw the, other side of the picture, the shattered idols, the wasted areas, . the "cruel and unnatural war" and the dreams that have not come true." "But if you -could only see God's pur poses you would be thankful," he said faithful to the. exhortation, "in every, thlngiye thankaGrea, things have come tdthe nation," yia-i' h'as spared our children, ' men and women are exalting righteousness, the poor ar taught. and little children are blessed with opportunity that neevr came to many before them." VWe can thank God for that Chris- . tlan gentleman who rules the detti- .. nies of this nation and tor raising up a Joshua who has led this nation to peace with honor. For those whose sons have been lost 1 nthe maelstrom. of war the nation he declared has a tender sympathy and a dream of a peace soon to come." "For those who think they have no cause for gratitude he brought com fort, thankfulness for the scourging and buffetings that smite and sting when they turn a training for spiritual efficiency into mere skill in making themselves comfortable." "Thankfulness for the call to work) and danger that constantly awaken men out of their sleep and summons them to perilous and arduous tusk which make them men;" . "For the, defeat' of ambitions and plans which realized would .wreacte the highest possibilities of human na tures:" "For the pressure of work and re sponsibility which holds meo and wo men in their places and steadies tlxim under the allurements of ease and luxury;" For the quickening of the puhlia conscience, the steady growth of an Independent and healthful public vvn- tlment, a deepening sense of InUU vHluul obligation to soclty, for the searching of soul that comes villi every good and perfect gift, for tho Teociiers' assembly, thoao Intellectual guardians who hold the future In their generous hands." He sent his hearer away with a. glorious injunction to work K.pon th immortal child' mind, "not for king and country, but for God." Want Craig to Help in Peace. -Henry.
