CONFERENCE ENDS; WILL MEET The Twenty-Eighth Annual To a Close Shortly After Reading of Appointments Occupied Last Day of Con The twenty-eighth annual session of the Western North Carolina confer : once closed at tho Central Methodist church nt 12 :-U o'clock this morn ing, following the reading of the ap pointments by Bishop Atkins. The bishop read as the Inst name: "Cen tral church, Arheville, praise God." and the delegates and visitors joined In singing the doxology. The confer ence was then adjourned. Monroe was selected as the meet ing place for 1918 and Oreensboro served notice that It would ask for tho conference in 1919. Plans were put in motion looking toward tho Belf-entortainment of the conference and a committee was ap pointed this morning to consider the mutter and report next year. Featured by the largest attendance at the opening hour, the last day of the Twenty-eighth Annual session of the Western North Carolina confer ence of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, opened this morning with a pronounced spirit of intense in terest throughout the bar of the church. Every Vat was filled within the bar. Possibly the reason for both the at tendance of the delegates and the in terest shown in their faces was he cause of the fact that the appoint ments for the coming year were to be made nt this session. Naturally every man was anxious to know with Vhat people he was to labor and where he was to live. Tho conference requested Bishop Atkins to reappoint Rev. W. L. Hutch ins as superintendent of the Children's Home and also requested him to ap point Reerend O. M. Simpson In a United States camp. Mr. Simpson Is already serving in this capacity. The committee on records of Dig-' trict conferences reported that gen erally these records were very well kept. - . Rev. Walter B. West of Waynesville, read the report of the committee on "Spiritual State of the Church." This report states that during the last year the number of additions to the Interstate Shippers Say That Is Only Efficient Way To Run Railroads In Time of War INT GOVERNMENT TO OPERATE ROADS Washington, Nov. 19. Goaded ' by what they term the "unjustifiable demands" of the railroads, Interstate shippers have made formul demand that the government at once assume u directing hand In the war time on all railroads. Immediately follow ing the Interstate Commerce commis sion decision on the 13 per cent rate Increase, the shippers will Inaugurate a nation-wide movement and carry their case to President Wilson, "The government operation of the roads," the shippers declared, "Is the only efficient way to bring about an immediate elimination of duplicating competitive service." Should the gov ernment fail to assum this "direct ing control," the shippers urged na "noxt best" government loans to the , roads to finance their necessary war extension; or outright government purchase of all rolling stock and ter minals with the government Itself un dertaking the cxpanMor. of facllltlos. The 16 per cent rate advance sought by the roads, the shippers' statement held, would be wholly inadequate for extension. But present rates are giv ing a reasonable return on Investment, it was claimed. It was never intend ed that railroad profits should pay for vast extensions, which should be built from stock sales, according to the shippers. Clifford Thorne, shippers' counsel, told the Interstate Commerce com mission that eastern roads during the past two years had pet revenues ex ceeding 11,000,000.000 "for the first . time in their history." The actual re turns by the roads since the rate In creases of lust June have exceeded the expectations of the commission by $543 per mile of road operated, ac cording to Thorne. For the first nine months of this year the roads' net operating Income exceeded their own estimates for the entire year by mora than $90,000,000," he said Session of Conference Came Noon Today, Following the Many Interesting Matters ference . churches in the Western North Caro lina conference by profession of faith was 4208 as against 6917 the previous year. The report urged that the church rally with increased zeal and earnestness to the spiritual need of this age in the same spirit in which the whole world is rallying to the world's bodily need. The c6nference went on record in a memorial to the general conference in which it favored an increase in the number of lay representatives from district conferences to the annual con ference. The memorial which was presented by C. H. Ireland, P. H. Wil liamson and others asked that lay representatives be at least 'doubled after some favorable remarks by sev eral members of the conference, the memorial was adopted. A memorial to the general confer ence was adopted asking that the Pel ham church he transferred from the North Carolina conference to the Western North Carolina conference.

MENTS Every Day ITALIANS HOLDING TEUTONS IN CHECK ALONG THE PI AVE Although Pressure Continues Strong, Italians Hold To Their Positions and Invaders Make Little Progress Signs of New Activity on Western Front, Especially In Flanders and Around St. Quentin In tho Trentino and along the Piave the Italians have the Austro-Germans In check for the moment and there are Indications of a re-awakening of fighting activity on the western front, especially In Flanders and around St. Quentin. East and northeast of Ypres the Rritish nre now well established On the Passchendaele ridge. Those posi tions have been under heavy bom bardment by the Germans for several days, and apparently evidence that the Germans are nervous and hope by their artillery fire to cheek a new British thrust. O . French Gain Successes. Around St. Quentin, north-northwest of the Ailctte where the French gained a notable success recently, Ger man and allied patrols have been busy. North of St. Quentin both the British and Germans carried out raids. French artillery has been shelling heavily tho German positions south of the town for several days and a thrust by French troops, evidently as a feeler, was repulsed by the defenders, Berlin reports. Italians Repel Attacks. Although the Teutonic pressure from Asiago, east to the Piave, con tinues very strong, the Italians hold valiantly to their positions and the invaders 'have been unable to make much progress. On the Aslatro pla teau the Italians repelled violent at tacks and near Casera recaptured an advanced position, taking 100 prison ers. Between the Bienta and the Piave the invaders have occupied po sitions from which the Italians with drew. Austro-German efforts to force the Italians back from the western bank of the Piave nt Zenson and Fagare have failed. The invading force which crossed at Fagare has been driven back across the river, while efforts to debouch from the bridgehead at Zen son wore repelled by Italian counter attacks. On the right, bank of the l'iave the Italians have taken nearly 1,300 prisoners in two days. Russian Situation. Another army is reported marching on Petrograd to oust the Bolshevik! General Maude Died Last Evening A her Brief Illness London, Nov li). General Maude, British commander in Mesopotamia, died yesterday. An official announcement issued to day says General Maude died in Mes opotamia yesterday evening after a brief illness. Captured Rngilnd. Major-General Frederick Stanley Maude, the captor of Bagdad, was rated us one of the most brilliant com manders of the war. After a series of British defeats in Mesopotamia General .Maude, was placed in com- i mand late iaat year and won un un : broken series of successes. Advancing from the Babylonian plains, he cap tured Kut-El-Amara, where General Townsend's army had been compelled to surrender. He continued his drive up the Tigris, advancing ninety miles in two weeks and last March captured Bagdud. With the opening the new campaign this fall he pushed up tho GERMANY DEFUSES TO TREAT mitS Kaiser Will Talk Peace Only With Legal Successor To Imperial Government Petrograd, Nov. 18. Germany has refused to treat for peace with tho new soldiers' and workmen's govern ment In response to a recent proposal, according to the newspapers here, which publish this news as coming from a well authenticated source. It Is stated that Emperor William announces In his reply tlint he would treat, only with the legal successor to Iho imperial government or with the constituent assembly. In this connection, the Volla Noroda says it has information Unit the sol diers' and workmen's government in the event of its failure to receive re plies from the belligerents by Novem ber 23, reserves the right to make in t h e Y ear $ PRICE FIVE CENTS READ from control there. The vanguard, which is said to be near Gatchina, 20 miles southwest of the capital already has had several brushes with the Bol sheviki forces. It is rumored that Premier Kerensky is returning with the new forces. All the reports lack confirmation. There apparently is internal dissen sion in Petrograd between the maxi malist and the less extreme socialists who have protested against the acts of the Bolshevikl regime. A report re ceived in London says there has been a split in the Bolshevik! ranks and that some of the ministers have re signed. . In Moscow the revolutionists and the provisional government forces have reached a truce after days of fighting in which several thousand persons were killod and some of Rus sia's religious shrines within the Kremlin were damaged if destroyed by the artillery of the revolutionary forces. The American embassy in Petro grad has asked for a special train to take 200 Americans to Harbin, Man-chui-iaj whence they can -react either Dalny or Vladivostok to take steam ers home. Jaffa In Hands of British. Jaffa, the ancient Joppa and the seaport on the Mediterranean for Je rusalem, has been occupied by the British. The Turks gave up this im portant point without resistance and are'-retiring northward under pres sure. Jerusalem is 35 miles south west of Jaffa and its occupation by General Allenby's troops probably is matter of only a few days. Premier Lloyd George's recent ut terances on the necessity for un allied war council will be debated in the house of commons today. The British leader will defend his position and it is expected that his speech will clear up the threatened ministerial crisis. President Wilson, through ?ol. E. M. House, head of the American mission to the allied conference, de clares that he considers unity of plan and action between the allies and America is esscntional in order to achieve a just and permanent peaoe.

He had a distinguished military rec ord before the war. He took part in the Sudan campaign in 1885 and re ceived the Medal With Clasp and Khedive'sstar . He served with dis tinction in the South African war, where he won the Distinguished Ser vice order and the Queen's medal with six clusps Prior to taking command in Meso--potamia. General Maude saw service in France, where he was wounded, lie was mentioned five times in the dispatches and made a Commander of the Bath.
