UUVCIUUI raig made a splendid address on altnHsm o i service to be rendered mani iwtsai 01 " auu l,J day. He argued that the fant tht there is great inequality between men is not because they are not born eual. .but because environments and opportunities of education give them Unequal chances after they are born traced Ihe history-of the race and mail tAm . - oprasery to present-day civlllxatlbii, and declared that while man moves slowly, he ever moves ?orward He aid that since h began -rok- vunc aaaresses iwenty-nve years ago audiences $hathe addresB ed had changed so that they seemed as mougn tney belonged to another race, , such has been the great pro- gress in education and in the state's development. Points of view have cnausea greatly in that period, and today we 'stand in the presence of civilization that demands Universal education and an equal .chance for every man and every woman. The part of the governor's address that made the deepest impression, however, was" his bold and fearless utterance on the subject of woman suffrage. Before an audience large - ly composed of women; Governor Craig declared that he did not be- lieve the .state would be elevated by former president; the literary ad the extension of the right of suffrage dress by Dr. Henry Louis -Smith, to women. The statement brought a President of Washington and Lee gasp of astonishment from many of his hearers and amazement was written on many countenances. Giving the sentiment time to sink home, the governor continued his re- marks by saying that if the time came when the women of North Car- olma really wanted the franchise, he was willing, for his- part, that they should have it. Addressing himeslf to his women hearers. Governor Craig said : "If the women of this common wealth desire it, I think it is a ques tion for you to pass upon and not for men to pass upon. I would not Ha?el Coble Denny, Anna Neal Full force the women to exercise it be- er Jennie Lee Hunter, Jeanette Mon- causeN a few desire it. If you really do get it, then run the government, and the government will be well run nd we will go to rocking the cradle and washing the dishes, and the cradle will NOT be wel rocked." ine governor asserted his convic- tion that woman has a higher func- iion 10 aischarge than depositing ballots in the ballot box. "I know that the power of man for good is not measured by his right to the bal- lot and that the power "of woman for good is not measured by denial of the right of suffrage. Woman is the great reserve power of society. She J -V tactile ,power behind the throne- tnats greater than the throne it self.". In closing Governor Craig made a plea for a womanhood that would make home what it should be and declared that in this sphere the wo men of the nation can render a greater service than by exercising the right of voting. oixminiJ llliJL" Blli OUDIVnnn - Mrprnv xiu nAiui. lasxisiuJAY.

"The Expanding Life" was the subject of Dr. Henry Louis Smith's address to the graduating class, and it was pronounced one of the strong est addresses heard in Greensbora on a similar occasion In a long while. The speaker was introduced by President Turrentine, who refer red to Dr. Smith's boyhood residence in Greensboro and heartily welcom ed him to his home town and a home audience. Dr. Smith spoke in the happy man ner of the man who thoroughly en joys his speech. He made a plea for the expanding life, urging upon the graduates the great dangers of nar rowness pe'ttiness and shallowness of life. "I come to warn you that breadth of view, breadth of interest and height of aspiration are things which v you must fight for." What are the means of obtaining the ex panding life, arid how shall one Wad it? We must grow broader in knowledge of the progress of man and the better things of the world. You women must thus prepare to take your stand in the community, state and nation. Learn somethine new every day. Next the speaker urged greater in terest in more things as a necessity of the expanding life. To grftw broader in interest, love, sympathy and appreciation. Like the tree, we must not only grow broad, but also 'deep and high. The expanding life must have its roots in strength and courage, and its crown must be so high, that it may obtain a view of the world around, to see both sides of a question. The expanding life yields -the greatly needed fruits of sanity and judgment, resourcefulness' and, adaptability, relaxation and elas ticity, and richness of life. It s rtch ness 4t lit e that counts.

The British battleship Triumph has been sunk in the Dardanelles. - This official an nouncement was made tonight. The disaster to the Triumph is de-. scribed in a brief statement by the admiralty, which says that while od- eralting in support of the Australian and New Zealand forces on the shore of the Gallipoli peninsula yesterday ,v the Triumph was torpedoed by a sub marine and sank shortly afterwards. Mpst of the officers and men, includ- ng thecaptain and commander, are reported to have been saved. ' . The submarine was chased by de stroyers and patrolling small craft until dark. The battleship Triumph was built at arrow in 1902 for Chile, but was purchased by Great Britain in 1903. She was laid down under the name Of Libertad. , Since the present war broke out the. Triumph has been in operation in s both far ..Eastern and European waters. As flagship of the, British Asiatic squadron she participated in the bombardment of the German base of Tsing-Tau China last Octo ber and was reported to have been damaged by the shell fire of the Ger man forts. Austria and Italy Lose No Time. Little or no time was allowed to elapse between the declaration of war and actual fighting between Aus tria and Italy. Monday Austrian aeroplanes, destroyers and torpedo boats descended on the Italian coast of the Adriatic and bombarded sev eral towns, including Venice, while in the Tyrol and on the eastern fron tier Italian and Austrian advance guards fired the first hots. The plan 'of- campaign nas -not vet been disclosed, but it Is generally be lieved attempts to inflict a quick and decisive defeat, or at least one that will discourage the Italians, will be undertaken, largely by the Germans under Field Marshal von Hinden burg. f It is said the German troops, with heavy guns, aeroplanes and Zeppe lins, already are passing through the valley of the river Adiage in the di rection of Verona, and that rapid and fierce blows will be delivered al most immediately at the Italian cen ter. This, the Germans doubtless be lieve, would serve to hold off an Italian, advance irom the province of Venice, where the flat nature of the country would give the Italians a greater chance of success. ' Throughout Austria and Germanv there is bitter denunciation of Italy wnicn ror the moment has replaced England as the most hated enemy'; In, the allied countries, on the other" hand, Italian intervention is hailed with delight, and in the Italian quar ters of London and Paris there have been enthusiastic demonstrations and cheering farewells to the Italians leaving to join the colors.
