Joint Session of Congress Announces Result: Wilson, 277, Hughes, 254, j Washington, Feb. 14. —Congress completed today Unconstitutional I formalities carrying into effect the will of the voters expressed last November and officially declared Wood row Wilson President, arid Thomas 11. Marshall, Vice-Presi dutit, re-elected. At ft joint session of Qhe Senate and House thy Healed vole wax canvassed by States with the usual quadrennial ceremony, and the result of the balloting of the elec toral college, once the deciding factor in presidential contests, but in recent years only a perfunctory means of ratifying the popular voice, was entered formally on tho official records. The count showed 277 votes for the Demo crattc iiomineesaud 'Oil for Hughes and Fairbanks. Tho proceeding reflected only in a mild degree the partisan enthu siasm of the doubtful days follow ing election day in November. Announcement of California's 13 votes for Wilson brought an out burst of approval from the Demo crats, and t here was applause oil the Republican side when Con necticut returned the llrat votes for Hughes. Lesser demonstra tions greeted tho- returns from other Mates, and the session broke up amid a loud Democratic re sponse to the announcement of the final result. » • Senator Kern of Indiana, and Representative Rucker of Mis souri, Democrats, and Senator Clapp of and Repre sentative Mapes of Michigan, Re publicans, were the tellers. Mrs. Wilson, wife of the President, watched the ceremony from the executive gallery, and Secretaries McAdoo, Maker and Daniels and Postmaster General Burleson were lii the cabinet box. Vice-I'residiiit .Marshall, who presided, requested at the outset that the members and spectators refrain from demonstrations, but immediately afterward he pro voked a ripple of laughter and ap plause by remarking: "It has been the custom to re frain from signs of approval or disapproval. The reason for this is that the results may not Ire en > ilrelv satisfactory to everybody." i When the Vice-President called , for the California vote it fell to Representative Mapes, a Repub lican, to read the returns from 'that State.

Germany's ruthless submarine warfare, continued with the suc cess of the last three days, would destroy within a short time a great part of the world's merchant ton nage. Officials here estimated today on 'records for the three days since the expiration of the time allowed in the German proc lamation for ships at sea on Feb ruary 1 to get into port that ves sels were being sunk at the rat" of nearly a million tons a month, the amount German naval authori ties set as necessary to slai ve the British Isles. At that rate it would take just four years to destroy the tonnage of the entire world —18,000,U00 tons —if all the wardships ventur ed into the war zone. Lloyds' report puts the tonnage sunk February 5, i and 7 at about 85,000,000. * The world turned out in 1010 less than two million tonnage ot merchant vessels. During the year the Germans sunk a trifle more than that, making tho net loss in world's shipping about one and one-half per cent. To Recruit 25,000 Additional Men For Navy. 'Navy recruiting agents have been instructed to immediately enlist 25,000 additional men. While the current naval bill au horizes a peace stren. th of 74,- 000 men, it carried appropriations for considerably less, since the department has estimated that npt. more than 10,(XX) recruits abov the number necessary to replace men discharged could be found. Officials have been encouraged by recruiting returns, however, which have brought the actual strength up to nearly 58,(XX) men already. 'ln the event of war probably the first act of the President will be to authorize the enlistment of the maximum war time strength of 87.'XX). Probably this could be quickly accomplished by a pro vision in the department's regula tion permitting volunteers toenlist for tho duration of the war. Looks Like Degeneracy.

Chapel Hill, Feb. 13.—Exports on the work of University stu dents for the first term of the year's work have just been issued, and are now doubtlessly bringing joy or disappointment to a thous and or more people throughout the State. It is the opinion of University officials that the re port* this year show a better record of achievement and scholar ship than at any time heretofoie. The freshman class tbis year has shown an exceptional grade of work, and twenty meinbera of this class have averaged two or more on all studies for the year, the guide 1 being tbe highest that can be given. One member, a! Winston-Salem boy, aj perfect card, ones in every sub ject. Another Winston-Salem boy (Mimes second with ones on live subjects and a two on only one. The entire freshman class num bers considerably over 300, hence these are honors of the highest kind in scholarship. Four of thii men on the list were members of the freshman football squad for I his year, which seems to indicate that proper athletics helps rather than hinders good scholarship. Many of the others mentioned be low excel in the various college activities. One iiih.ii is violin soloist with the College Glee Club.

Wellington asserted that the most important item of a soldier's equipment is an extra pair of shoes. Uotli epi grams proclaim physical litnes- as the prime essential of efficiency. A recent • art icle by nn army surgeon discloses disquieting facta regarding the physical prepaml -1 ness or uupreparedness of our military forces, especially of our 1 militia. The medical corps of our army is much too small to cure for the health of our army on lield service iu time of peace, and even ; the increase recently authorized by Congress would be woefully , insufficient in case of war. Among the militia the conditions are much worse, for besides inttuffi i cieucy there is ofteu great in efficiency. In the mobilization on the Mexican border few of the volunteer units possessed an ade- I quale sanitary peroonel and ou.o regiment had none whatsoever.

Miss Atkins was a very popular teacher and efficient. She had charge of the extension work in company with Prof, Alexander, which the College recently inaugurated in llurlington. Several days ago Miss Atkins left the College for her old' home in Concord where she had been sick for several days. When she started on her return to the College to resume her duties she was accom panied by Mr. as far as Greensboro, where the young couple decided that they would not live longer separate.

To Prevent Blindness in Infancy- Raleigh, Feb. 9.—The bill en titled an act to prevent blindness in infancy came before the appro priation committee of the General Assembly yesterday afternoon aud apparently inet favorable con sideration. The bill calls for a law requiring all physicians and midwives in the State of North Carolina to instill or have instill ed, immediately after birth, in the eyes of the new-born babe two drops of a solution of silver ni trate to be furnished by the State Hoard of Health. It provides also for a law making this disease, formerly known as babies' sore eyes, now known as ophthalmia neonatorum, a reportable disease. It further provides that all mid wives practicing in North Caro lina shall register without fee their names and addresses with the Sec retary of the State Board of Health not later than July 1, 1917, in order they may receive neces sary instrnctions and be furnish ed with the prophylactic solution. For the enforcement of the pro visions'of this .bill an annual ap propriation of $3,000 is called for, to be used by the State Board of Health in providing free lactic outfits for the use of sicians atid midwives in treating the eyes of the new-born, and iu otherwise carrying out the pro visions of the law. In the discussion of the bill it was brought out that the blind ness en used by babies' sore eyes, lor this disease that is so easily prevented at birth, represents from about one-fourth toone-sixth of ail the blindness in the coun try. As it affects North Carolina directly, there are between four arid live hundred blijid people in l-lie Stale today, whose blindness is due to this disease. The cost of this dependency to the Slate may easily be estimated as the average cost for educating and caring for a blind boy or girl in the State Institution for the Blind is S2OO per year. The Cuban government official* ly announces that about 30 men of 7th and Bth companies of in fantry have revolted aud escaped witb eheir arms.

Text of tH# Lesson, John Iv, 43-94 Memory Versos, 49-51—Qoldsn Text, Matt, viii, 13—Commentary Prepared by ftov. D. M. Stoarns. The story of today Is called the sec ond miracle In Galilee, and It was wrought at the same place as the first. In Caua of Galilee. Verses 4fl, 54. com pare chapter 11, 2, 11. At the marriage he manifested forth Ilia glory, and It waa on a third day, (chapter 11, 1, 11), and I must confess to a special Relight In working out the third day and the glory or kingdom veins of truth In the Scriptures, believing that It Is only as the glory of fits kingdom takes hold of us that we shall be the faithful fol lowers we ought to lie in this present evil age. It would seem from verses 43, 40, that this was another third day event, though It Is Just possible that therejnay have been an Interval of a day or two between the two verses, but I think net. The marriage of the I.ami) Is tbe next latent event In the future, and, counting a thousand years as one day, It will probably be the third day In the morning. Sofaewhere about that time will be the redemption of Israel, n» it Is written in llos. vl, 2, "After two days will lie revive us; In the third day lie will raise us up, and we shall llva lu His sight." Our I.ord seeuied to have the same thing In view when He snid, "Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I shall be perfected" (Luke xlll, 82). It will be the time of the resyrrectlon of a righteous Israel, according to Isa. xxv, 8, 0; • xxvl, 10-21; Han. xU, 1-3. when "the King of Israel, the Lord, shall be lu the midst of them and they shall not see evil any more" (Zeph. 111, 15). Note the sayings already In this gospel concerning the Son of God, the King of Israel; heaven opened and Ja cob's vision a reality, the temple of Ills body raised up, the kingdom which can only be entered by the new birth, the saying about the bridegroom and the bride, Ills declaration that he wag the Messiah and Ills reference to the harvest (chapters I. 50, 51; 11, 20, 21; HI, 8, 5, 29; lv, 20, 35). Surely we can not but be fully persuaded that the kingdom and the glory were the Joy ever before Him which enabled Him to endure (tleb. xii, 2). And how can we. Ills followers, hope to endure In any other way? This teaching will not bring us hon or from men. but the honor which com "Vtli from G( d only will more than suf fice (lv, 4-1; v, 44). The Galileans be lieved .because they saw the things that He did at Jerusalem, and I do not know any truths whN-h will work In us the Christ life like those con cerning Ills coming and kingdom. A letter Just in from the Philippines tells of a worker whom many people think queer because of these truths, but the remark was added that her lovely life wins many people to Him. Tfcat Is the one thing worth while. Tbe healing of the nobleman's son In this connec tion makes us think of the time of the kingdom when the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick; the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their Iniquity (Isa. xxxlll. 24). After He had spoken the kingdom of Matt, v-vll He gave samples of the kingdom In the healings of chapters viii and lx. While the king dom Is postponed because of His re jection. we may not expect kingdom miracles, though In Ills greAt grace He lias wrought many for many of His simple mliid d believers and has mab> It manifestly true that Ills word stands "according to your faith be it unto you." We mav Journey with this no bleman and Imatrine something of bis heartiKhe as. having left his son at the point of death, he seeks the Great Physician. We nmy not know how He was eneourared to believe that the I.ord Jesus would he'p him, for the heaftngs at Capernaum of the demon possessed man. and Peter's wife's mother, and the centurion's servant, nnd the ruler's daughter, seem all to have tnken pln"e after this. But be must somehow have seen or heard enough to convince him that here there was help for him, though lie seemed to think It necessary that Jesus should accompany htm home (verse 40). That gracious word. "Go thy way; thy son llveth" (verse 50). did Its work In both father and son. for the father went his way be'leviug and found on reaching home the nc\t day that the boy had been healed at the very time that Jesus had said the word. One result was that the man's whole household believ ed In Jesus. Just as the Galileans who -hod been to Jerusalem saw nis works and liollevert, so this household saw and lielleved. and there are still those who need to see something of the power mid grace of God In human lives to lead them to lielleve. and tbey ought to see It. for Ills life should be manifest In His redeemed (II Cor. Iv, 10, 11). For saved souls like Thomas It Is always true "Blessed are they that have not seen, yet have believed" (John xx. 20i. The verb "to believe" Is found In some form In this gospel ninety-nine times and reminds us that without faith it Is Impossible to please God. and also that the only way to be filled with Joy and peare Is by believ ing (neb. xl, 0; l!om. xv. 131.

The President, it was said, is as anxious as aver to avoid war with Germany, but also is as determined as ever that American citizens and ships shall be free to travel the high seas unmolested. His next step, if taken, will be to enforce that right, and even then the issue of war or peace will be with Germany. Any hostile action will have to come In the form of an Interference with an American right Details of the Government's plans are not discussed. It is known, how ever, that donvoylng and arming of merchant ships are being considered. No new development came to indi cate that the overt act by Germany regarded as inevitable waa nearer at hand. Fewer reports of ships sunk came in, and none told officially of the loss of American life. Further infor mation received about George Wash ington, the negro fireman lost on the Torino .indicated that he probably was a British subject. Practically every member took to the Cabinet information about the ac tivities of his department In connec tion with the general precautions be ing taken. Questions discussed In cluded proposed emergency legist tlon, steps for protecting property, mall problems precipitated by the failure of ships to sail from American ports for Europe, economic issues and the Army and Navy preparation. After the meeting, it was authori tatively stated that nothing had yet happened to change the course pur sued by the Government since the break In relations with Germany. The effect of the tying tip of ships in American harbors because of fear that they will bp sunk if they pass through the war zone. Is one of the questions being given careful consid eration. The enforced idleness of the merchant fleet la a subject of grow ing exasperation. RED CROBS PREPARED TO CARE FOR ARMY OF MILION, According to Report* to Washington Headquarter* Chapter* Are Ready For Field Bervice. Washington. —An expert hospital force sufficient to care for an army of a million men, could be mobilized by the Red Cross within a few days after an outbreak of hostilities, In the belief of officials at headquarters of the society here. Since this call was issued February 3 instructing Red Cross chapter* throughout the country to place them selves on a footing for field work, many encouraging reports have bqen returned to headquarters, together with a great flood of personal offers of service. Eliot Wadsworth, acting chairman, estimated that the forco which could be mobilized Immediately In case of war would Include: Twenty-six completely equipped army and navy base hospital unit*, with a total personnel of 1,250 nurse* aids. A hospital base res err* of 415 nurses and 625 nurses' aids. A corps of expert Instructors In sur gical dressings, totalling about 120. Thirty-two partially complete navy detachment* of 20 nurse* each. One hundred and fifteen local emergency detachments. "With the customary assignment of 10 patients to each nurse," he added, "we could thus take care of 50,000 •Ick and wounded at once. In the earlier stages of war, the proportion of *lck and wounded is about five per cent In other words, we are prepared today to give expert nursing service to an army of 1,000,000 men. "No National emergency has ever found the Red Cross better prepared than It la today." INCREASED RATE ON BECOND CLAM MAIL.
