Governor Bickett has desig nated the week of June 23rd to 28th as War Savings week and urges eve ry tax-payer to pledge himself to buy all the War Savings stamps that in his honest opinion he will be able to pay for during the remainder of the year. The purpose of the President's proc- j lamation, likewise that of the uover nor, is that the War Savings cam paign shall be made to go over the top through the efforts of an inten sive campaign to be conducted from State headquarters beginning the week of June 23 and culmination June 28.

The listing of some boards show the average is far 'relow the national average of 2S.7 per cent, registrants in class 1. Sor. e beards have fallen even n low r s 50 per cent. T. c jsaads of men now in class 4 should be rut in c'ass 1 and 2, the pro vost marshal said. The instructions also ordered investigations to deter mine if any men have been erroneous ly put in the upper classes when they should have been placed in those low er down. Provost Marshal Gneral Crowder announced Friday that the class of 1918 registrants will not be allowed to enlist in the navy or marine corps, and that no voluntary inductions will be granted until order and serial num bers are assigned registrants may en list if they obtain certificates from the local boards stating they are not within the board s current quota. It is expected the re -arrangement will bring into class 1 more than 500,- 000 men. Cases where registrants wese mar ried alter passage of the draft act will be carefully considered and if evi dence warrants classification in class 1? ocaras will proceed to reclassify them. Married men whose wives have sustaining incomes probably will be rc-ciassiiiea. This office has reached the conclu sion, said the prcvost marshal ren eral, that the corrective procedure can made most effective bv revision bv the local boards with the heartv and actual assistance of government ap peal agents and members of legal ad visory boards. ginia Capes early Wednesday, morn ing, arrived here late tonight and were quartered in an army hospital there being no hotel accommodations available.

Airplane and Balloon Observation Stations to Be Established. the U-boat until their ship had gone i four hours Estimates sent to Congress by Sec retary Baker show that the War De partment intends to establish 13 per manent airplane stations and prob ably a number of balloon observation stations, on the Atlantic coast. It is regarded as practically certain, states a Washington special to the. Greens boro Daily News, that the North Carolina coast will get one or more of these stations. The- two Senators from North Carolina and representa tives from the coast districts will get busy, it is understood, to see that adequate portection is afforded the coastal territory of the State. Sites for the stations, from which airplanes and balloons will watch for and attack enemy submarines, have been selected but their announce ment is withheld pending the com pletion of the purchase of necessary land. The visit of German submarines is largely responsible for the estimates of the department which aggregate approximately $28,090,000. Ic is understood that sites have been selected for 13 stations on the Atlantic three on the Pacific, four on, the other boats ter when the puffy wind began to strengthen we mstictively knew there was trouble ahead. Storm, High Waves, Darkness. "The storm came quicker than we expected it. The wind blew like a gale and kicked up a nasty sea. The boats pitched and soon became separ ated. We, who were in a motor launch, seemed to be alone in the storm. Rougher and rougher became the water and the boat rolled and pitched. Finally she capsized and ?.ll of the thirty-five in her were thrown into the sea. She was righted and capsized again while we clung to her. This occurred several times. The m . I.J ! r storm passed and the sea Degan tO , w . ill T -- calm, it was pitcn aarK. "Finally we kept the launch righted but she was full of water. We clung to her and bailed out the water with our hands. Some could not stand the strain, became exhausted, let go their hold and sank. It was terrible. We bailed out enough water to let one of U3 in. Then he bailed furiously and enough water was scooped out to permit a second to get into the launch. We kept on bailing until the launch was able to bear the weight of a third and a fourth. "We kept this up all night. When the last was helped over the side" we found that there were but nineteen f us. Sixteen had gone. "With the comine of daylight the hopes of the survivors rose with the sun.

She appeared to be a good swimmer and with her own extorts and clinging 3 the two bodies tor support she manag- xne launc.i got down and they were in the lifeboats. The commander of the submarine then called the lifeboats to the underwater craft, which popped up on the surface nearby, and gave them water and American tobacco. The crew, describe the German commander as a "tgentle manly murderer" who, after he had sunk the Harpathian without vfrning, did aH he could to make the. swyivors comfortable. jig Two of the Harpathiari men . were injured, one rather severely, the other slightly. Another is suffering from rheumatism as the result of exposure in the open boat. . Survivors say they were torpedoed without warning. "We did not know there was a U boat within miles of us," one of them said, "although we had been warned bv wireless. Suddenly the ship quiv ered from stem to stern and slowly began to settle in the water.. The captain ordered ail hands to the life boats. The Harpathian was struck in a vital spot, for she sank in less than eight minutes after being hit." Members of the crew describe the U-boat as one of the largest they have ever seen, considerably over 200; feet m length. She was heavily arm-i ed and appeared capable of putting up a stiff fight against destroyer or other small warcraft. The fact that the German com mander gave the Harpathian's men American tobacco leads to the belief here that the U-boat had sunk other ships before attacking the Harpathian. Twenty-six hours after taking to open boats the captain and crew were picked up by the steamer Potomac. They were slowly making for the capes when the Potomac hove in sight. wnen tne rottomac hove in sight.
