Athens, Oct. 22 a dream of em pire which would have made Greece a ruling power in Asia Minor aion6 the Orient came very near being realized at the opening of the wax in Europe. Thi3 has just been brought out with official exactness in the mass of diplomatic documents laid before parliament, and in state ments by Premier Venizelos and the minister of foreign affairs, M. Po. itis. Keferring to the territorial concessions which Greece could have acquired at that time, M. Venizelos, said. "I had succeeded in obtaining rec ognition of the rights of Hellenism over western Asia Minor. And I can say without exaggeration ,tha-. the day I received the communication of Sir Edward Gery speaking of very important territorial concessions oit the coast of Asia Minor, was a day of rejoicing as keen as that when the treaty of Bucharest was signed, giving us Saloniki, Macedonia and new Greece. "I who had known how small ana feeble Greece was only three or four years ago saw the stupifying bounds she was about to make. This little Greece had now succeeded in occupying a place equal to that ox the great powers in the settlement of the fate of Turkey which had been" the apple of discord between the Eu ropean powers." But as Asia Minor was a field of German ambition and hope, M. Ven. zelos said he found himself opposed not only by the kind Constantme, but also by the army general staff, which he declared, "served a policy purely Germanic." And with this opposition, backed by the king, the opportunity held out to Greece to be come a great power in Asia was fit nally lost. M. Politis, the minister of foreign affairs, gave us some of the details ot these concessions, and told how near they came to being realized in two formal treaties. "Such was the desire of the wes tern powers," he said, "to have Greece adopt a policy mutually ad vantangeous to them and to Greece, that they declared to the Hellenic government that they were ready to assure to Greece, in return for its cooperation in the war against Turkey, Smyrna and an important part of the hinterland." After lengthy discussion, M. Politis said, a double convention was concluded. But at this point the ar my staff intervened and succeeded in defeating the plan. While these large territorial plans came to nothing, yet their definite ness indicates they may again be heard from when the final adjust ment of the war takes place, for Greece is not unlikely to have the same aspirations toward entering As ia Minor, and the western powers the same willingness they have already shown to give Greece a foothold on this route to the Orient. HICKORY ARTIST WINS BLUE RIBBON The many friends of Mrs. Grace Sanborn will be interested to know that she was successful in winning 20 first prizes for china painting at the state fair in Raleigh, where she exhibited her work.

Incidentally this gave Hickory no little adver tising. Mrs. Sanborn finishes her own work, having a kiln at her home for burning it.

SOUTH DROPPED SUNDAY ALONG NARROW Reports Satisfactory Progress an J French Gain All Objectives Russian Fleet Oatwits Ger mans in Moon Sound- Emperor Returns to Berlin Other War News. T 10 AT The following announcement has been issued in Washington: The time is approaching to give thought to bringing Christmas cheer to the American soldiers and sailors abroad. Arrangements have been perfect ed whereby the Christmas mail to the American Expeditionary Forces in Europe - is to be delivered by Christmas morning. Without th.. fullest cooperation on the part of the public it will be impossible to ac complish this result. The three essential respects in which the public can aid in assuring :a happy Christmas at the front axe. Mail early, address intelligently, and : pack securely. 'For this reason it is requested that all persons having Christmas mail for the soldiers and sailors and the civilian units attach ed to the army in Europe observe closely the following directions: 1. Mail to reach the soldiers in France by Christmas morning must be posted not later than November 2. Every package must bear con spicuously the words "Christma. M'iail," the complete address of the person for whom it is intended, and in the upper left hand corner, the name and address of the sender. 3. Every parcel must be so pack ed and wrapped as to admit of easy inspection Iby th? -ipoatmaster.- No parcel will be dispatched to France which has not the postmaster's cer tificate that it contains no prohibited articles. A. S. BURLESON, Postmaster General. NEWTON D. BAKER, Secretary of War. JOSEPHUS DANIELS, Secretary of the Navy.C dn connection with the above pa trons are advised that, owing to the unusual distance this mail must be transported, the handling and stor age it must undergo, it is absolutely necessary that all parcels be covereu with wrappers of sufficient strength not only to resist pressure of other mails contained in the sacks in which it will be inclosed, but to withstand the weight of other sacks of mail, which in the long transit may be pil ed thereon. Postage must be fully prepaid Oi. all parcels at the- 8th zone rate, 12c for ea"ch pound or fraction thereo. Patrons are cautioned against plac ing Red Cross stamps or sticker, other thafl' postage stamps, on the address side of such matter, as this would render tne parcels unmailable. Red Cross stamps or stickers that do not resemble postage stamps may be placed on the parcel on other than the address side, but care should be taken so as not to seal it. Inscriptions such as "Merry Christ mas," "Please do not open until Christmas," "Happy New Year," .'Wfith best wishes'" and the like may be placed on the covering of the parcel in such manner as not to interfere with the address, or on a card inclosed therein. Parcels containing perishable mat ter should be withheld from tne mails unless it is absolutely certain that the contents will not deter iorate within six weeks from the date of mailing. The principal articles classed unmailable are intoxicants of all kinds, poisons, inflamable materials (including friction matches), or com positions which may kill another, oi damage the mails. Parcels for the Expeditionary Forces abroad cannot be registered or insured. Owing to the great demand on transportation space, patrons are ur gently requested to make their par cels as small as possible prele. ably not to exceed 10 pounds in weight as shall parcels will have to be given preference in shipment, in order to accommodate the gueat. est number of people. (Cut this out and save for refer, ence.) ITS L OF FOUR ZEPPELINS By the Associated Press. Amsterdam, Oct. 22 The loss of four Zeppelins is admitted in an offi cial statement received from Berlin. The airship squadron says that they have attacked London, Manches ter and other English cities with "special success." 0 MA L EARLY FRONT GERMANY AM PRICE TWO CENTS NEW DRIVE FRONT Cy the Associated Press. In cooperation with the French on his left, Haig has launched a iv blow along a narrow front on tH? German lines northeast of Ypres v . 4-iy. The allied infantry has n-v-ed forward in the neighborhood of Ypres staden ralroad on the extrer northern edge of the front in Flan ders. The French advance was along a width of about three-fifths of a mile. Paris announces that all their objectives were attained by the French troops, while Haig re ported satisfactory progress for the British. Russian naval Units in the north ern part of the Gulf of Riga have outwitted the super German forces, and have moved from Moon sound where they apparently have been bottled up. After engagements in the sound last week, the Russian warships have made their escape without losses, and are now in posi tion to protect the northern entrance of Moon sound. The new position of the Russian squadron probably will compel the Germans to give battle if hey wish to enter the gulf of Finland by going through the sound between Dago island and the coast of Estsonia. The military forces in the Moon sound region were moved successfully by the Russians who resscued their transports and smaller craft. Before their retire ment they destroyed all positions of military value to the enemy. Emperor William returns to Ber lin today and among his engagements are "political conferences with Von Bethmann-IIollweg and Prince Von Buelow. Buelow has been men tioned as the probable successor to Dr. Michaelis. FARMERS BUYING BONDS 'Qolcboro'; Oct. 22 As 'an evi dence of the faith of Wayne county farmers in Liberty Bonds, as well as their patriotism for sustaining the war, Mr. R. N. Newsome, chair man of the board of county commis sioners of Wayne county yesterday subscribed $5,000 of these bonds, while farmers from all over the county came to the city and purchas ed bonds, and as one citizen expreoS ed himself "Liberty Bonds have been selling in Goldsboro like hot cakes." AN APPRECIATION I desire to say through the col umns of your splendid daily that I feel a deep p-rsonal loss in the sudden and unexpected death of Dr. J. L. Murphy. As pastor of one of I the churches in Hickory for foui years I have observed the situation rather closely and can conscientious ly say that it is exceedingly hard to estimate such a man's real worth in a community. He was interest, en in anything that meant for the moral and spiritual upbuilding of our citizenship. Surely a great man has been sud denly removed from our mids... Hickory has lost one of her foremost and valuable citizens. He was the friend of everybody and especially the poor. Many hearts have been comforted, many homes havs been brightened, man lives have been strengthened by the pressure and influence of this stal wart man of God. I mourn with his stricken family, church and community and pray that out of our Father may bring to us a great spiritual blessing. He has been a good friend to mt. during our association. I realize the poverty of speech in expressing my deep appreciation of this good, true man. May his life and influence cause us all to set a higher value upon the real and best things of life and be ready when the call comes to us. He died in the harness with Bibit in his hand and was on his way to the house of God. May we all leave the "Gates of Zion" more devoutly and be found in our place of worship more frequently. May God bless the memory of our departed brother. A. L. STANFORD, Pastor First Methodist Church. Miss Hildreth Weaver of Newton, spent the week end in Hickory as the guest of Miss Maude Maynard.
