Serbia is being attacked
ARMY TOO SMALL FOR RESIST
ANCE AGAINST INVADING
TEUTON f6RCES.
Serbia is being attacked from the
north and the east. The Austrd-Gef-
mo:is, after their capture of Belgrade
and Semondria, are advancing south-,
ward, while the Bulgarians have sent
forces to endeavor to interrupt com
munications north and south of Nish,
th war time capital of Serbia, andDeen he "big" day of the fair, but
attack the Serbs on the Hank if tney
are driven back by German Field
Marshal von Mackensen.
The situation is admitted to be a
very serious one, not only for Serbia,
but for the allied cause. It is as
serted that the Serbians are inflicting
very heavy losses both on the Austro
Germans and Bulgarians, but with
their army of about a quarter of a
million men they are believed to
have little chance of making any pro-
longed resistance against three or
four hundred thousand Austro-GerX
mans and probably 200,000 Bul
garians. They are arranging for the
transfer of the capital to Monastir.in
the extreme southwestern corner of
the kingdom.
Greece apparently has decided' to
ignore the treaty under which she is
supposed to go. to the assistance of
her Serbian ally in case of an attack,
Premier Zaimis having said when of
ficially notified of the Bulgarian at
tack that Greece "remains in a posi
tion of armed neutrality."
The followers of the quadruple
entente, however, have decided to
take energetic action. As soon as the
news of the J3ulgarian attack on
Serbia was received in London the
Bulgarian minister was handed his
passports, and M. Viviani, the French
prime minister, declared that France,
Great Britain and Russia had decided
to take joint action and that tomor-
row "Russian roops will be fighting j
by the side otnurs.'V , Wv.i c 1
to be landing in Saloniki, but there is
considerable speculation as to where
Russia will enter the Balkan conflict.
It is reported ''that Grand Duke
Nicholas is to command the Russian
Balkan army, which it is believed in
military circles would make the Bul
garian people less willing to fight
against Russia, there being a deep
veneration among the Bulgarian
peasants for the emperor of Russia
and his family.
It is understood that Italy has de
cided not to co-operate with the al
lies in the Balkans, the Italian gov
ernment being of the opinion that
troops cannot be spared for any cam
paign than that in Trentino and.
Triest. '
Now that Austria and Germany
have entered on their Balkan enter
prise, which is interpreted as the
first step toward an endeavor to se
cure a German empire in the near
east, there can be no drawing back,
but the allies hope that, with a
vigorous offensive both on the east
and the west, thev will be abie at
least to prevent the sending of any
large reinforcements to Field Mar
shal von Mackensen.
In Other War Centers.
The French in both the Champagne
and Artois regions of France con
tinue their offensive, but not on the
scale of the recent attacks. The Brit-
ish after their success in repelling
the German attack are preparing fori
another move, but at what point only
the commanding generals know. Now
that they have started, it is believed
that the British and French on the
western line will give the Germans
no rest.
It is much the same on the eastern
front. The Austro-Germans having
brought their offensive) an end, ex
cept in the region of . Dvinsk, the
Russians have recuperated wonder
fully and are striking back in their
familiar way. The Germans claim
another success west of Dvinsk, but
they are still fighting to the west of
Illoukst. They also announce that
Russian counter-attacks have been
repulsed south of the Pripet river, in
Volhynia and in Galicia.
The Russians seemingly have en
tirely regained the initiative, especial
ly in Galicia. Here ..it is reported
from Petrograd that the Russians
have won a victory on the River
Stripa. CThe territory on which t&is
battle was fought marks the extreme
;eft of the ; Russian battle tline. The

The Central Carolina fair opened

bell until yesterday afternoon, when,
soon aftpr the races started, a shower
of rfjtn drovV the people on the
grounds; t6 shelter and prevented
hundreds of others from going out
to the -fair. Everybody hoped for
'better luck today,' which was to have
the. weather man most unkindly sent
more powers to dampen the enthu
siasm; of the folks and lessen the at
tendance. Thos who have visited the fair
pronounce it an exhibition really
worth while. Every department is
filled with a line of creditable exhib
its, many of them being especially
attractive. '-' U

a good crowd of spectators.

and tomcrrow night.
Tomorrow, the last day of the fair,

Tar Heels Teach Canadians Tobacco
Culture.
Richmond, Va., Oct. 13. A party
of North Carolina tobacco planters
arrived in Richmond this morning
from Ontario, Canada, where they
j have been employed by the Canadian
government all summer, instructing
the Canadian tobacco raisers in the
science of curing bright leaf tobacco.
This class of tobacco is now being
cultivated on all of the light sandy
lands on the northern shore of Lake
Erie.
These gentlemen state that the
crop is matured in three months
and cured by flues in six weeks, that
from the plant to the market is about
four and a half months.
The Canadian crop of tobacco this
year will reach 600,000 pounds and
will bring from 25 to 35 cents per
pound. The following compose the
oartv: R. V. Bentley. J. W. Crews,
R. C. Puckett and W. T. Curry. .

HORE ARU
LIASSACRES
ATROCITIES RENEWED WITH
VIGOR SINCE BULGARIA
HAS ENTERED, WAR.
Armenian . massacres in -Asiatic -:
Turkey have been . renewed with vigor -since
Bulgaria's entrance Into : the
war as Turkey's ally. This informa
tion has reached the . state depart
ment at Washington from Ambassa
dor Morgenthau, who stated that the
majority of the Armenians in Asiatic
Turkey had Jbeen killed.
Although this government f some
time ago warned Turkey that further
atrocities against - the Armenians
would alienate the sympathies of- the
American people, no answer has been
received. 1
' Earlier representations were met
wtth the promise that those Armen
ians who wished to leave the country
would be permitted to do so unharm
ed and that Protestant Armenians
would vbe spared. Information recent
ly reaching this country, however, in
dicates that these conditions have not
been strictly adhered to. From one
quarter it was asserted that they were
"rescinded the next day."
Although $10,000 from private
subscription has been placed at Am
bassador Morgenthau's disposal for
distribution among the ' Armenian
refugees, no arrangements have been
made for bringing Armenians to this
country, as was originally planned.
Those Armenians who were spared
are gathered In the country between
the Tigres and Euphrates rivers.
American Professor Writes.
A letter received in New York by
the American committee on Armen
ian atrocities from an American pro
fessor in one of the American ol
leges in Turkey gives further de
tails of some of the atrocities com
mitted by the Turks.
The writer says that during the
last week in Apfil the professor, of
oltegas .impris
onecr - witnz3tEeTl pmjffientrrA??
menians. Later he was taken to Si-
vas, where he died. On June 26
many of the prominent men of the
city were taken to the soldiers' bar
rack until the total numbered
1,215.
At a place three hours distant from
the city all these men were brutally
slain by the gendarmes and by mur
derers released from prison for the
express purpose of preying on Ar
menians. The writer also tells of the whole
sale deportation during July of 12,-
000 persons of that " section of the
city nearest to our institutions."
A government officer," the writer
continues, '"declared that the destina
tion of the exiles was a city five or
six hundred miles distant in the des
ert regions of Mesopotamia. These
same officials declared it was practi
cally impossible for any of the people
to ever reach the plc-ce.
"The town of Samsoun was simi
larly emptied of its' Armenian popu
lation, also all othor Umns and vil
lages in the vicinity of Msrsovan.
The last of August, along the rail
way from. Angora to Constantinople, I
saw 50,000 Armenians without ade
quate supply of food and no means
of shelter. At Merited jie alone the
station master told us there were 30,-
000 exiles.. Many were weak from
hunger, others almost dead."
Ihe writer says that the Armenian
consul vas told that the Turkish gov
ernment intended to exterminate the
Armenians. "He further said," the
professor continues, "that when the
Armenians were disposed of the
Greeks .would be similarly treated
and after that the foreigners. A like
statement was made by Enver- Pa-
sha, the minister of war. to our am
bassador. Mr. Morgenthau.
The motive for these prosecutions
according to government officials,
was thJ fear that ?the Armenians
would strike them (the Tt-rks) in the
back while they were fighting their
foreign enemies. Their motive was
mixed. , There was in it a large nle
ment of religious fanaticism, a greed
for loot, and a bestial lust.

V Washington, Oct,
13.-
Haste to
Complete formalities
of Carranza'0
recognition- was evident here today.
The administration, will probably not
wait to select and appoint a new am
bassador. It ir expected a formal
statement will be issued soon from
the White House.
While an embargo on shipment of
arms to Villa's territory has not yet
been reimposed, for all practical pur
poses such an order is in effect. Cus
toms officers are, on their- own au
thority, detaining munitions ship
ments at the border to carefully in
vestigate consignee. A proclamation
re-establishing the embargo is ex
pected this week.
The state department has been no
tified that practically all the South
and Central American countries will
follow the United States in recogniz
ing Carranza. Guatemala and Brazil
are the only ones evincing reluctance.
The principal European nations have
also informally advised the state de
partment that they will follow-the
United States' lead. :
: While a hitch" in the recognition
program is possible, awaiting formal
advices from other countries, this
government is proceeding rapidly to
ward that end. If any unexpected
military or other development should
occur to weaken Carranza, "it v was

MILLS DROP 300 TEUTONS
AFTER RUIN OF PLANT.
Chartiers, Pa., Oct. 12. Because

plant several days ago, in which four
men were killed, several injured and
a large property loss sustained..
According to reliable Information,
the catastrophe is blamed on two for
mer employees who were discharged
after the officials of the company had
earned that they were German sym
pathizers, although born in this
country.
The most stringent orders have
been issued by Aetna Company offi
cials at the "three Chartiers Valley

Only Americans, English, French and
Belgians are now employed. Several
English army officers, mostly believed
to" be from the retired list, are con
nected with the plants. The guard,
which is a formidable one, is com
manded by ex-United States army
non-commissioned officers.
The guards captured two "Intru
ders," believed to have been German
spies in the plant at Heidelberg. On
one occasion, last week, the guard
was forced to search the entire plant
before locating their man. He is said
to have been recognized by one of the
English officers as an agent formerly
connected with the German consular
service In England.
