SAMMIKS PLEASED WITH THE HEAVIES USED BY FREXCH French Vetera Gunners Greet Al most ma Comrade the Monster French Weapons Which Will lie l'ed Against Germany. American Training Camp in France, Oct 10. (By the Associated Tress.) Not far behind the Aineri can field artillery, which has been in training in a rugged section of France for the past two months, have come the men of the "heavies." They are veteran gunners and many are laminar with the big guns at home and they greet almost as comrades the monster French weapons which they are now grooming for eventual use against the Germans. Some of the guns with which the American artillerymen are training are wonderful and ponderous ex amples of the French gun makers' skill and daring. They range from the modest but marvellously effec tive '155 up to the staggering "400" that hurls a high explosixe missele weighing Just short of a ton The 400's are more potent than the big Berthas ever were in their days of great destructiveness. In calibre, the guns range from the short, squat mortars, which sit upon their haunches like giant frongs, up through the various members of the howitzer family to the truly sinister naval rifles with their long tapering barrels. The Americans are delighted with their French weapons and are busy studying ever detail and adapting themselves to the use of French material. Most of tho heavy gunners are men of long experience and do not need much actual firing practice before taking their place in line against the enemy. They have been a little surprised to find that, with the big land guns used here, speed is not a great factor. These heavy . weapons are used for destructive pur poses and there is no special need for haste when dealing with concrete dugouts and other enemy defenses that cannot run away. Accuracy is the great goal of all heavy gunners. Asked if his men would not find it difficult to shoot without direct ob servation, the general commanding the heavy artillery contingent re plied: "We will have direct observation here. The only difference will be that the observer, instead of stand ing beside his gun will be sitting aloft In an airplane. You can depend up on it that each shot we fire at the enemy will be watched and record ed." The wireless branch of the heavy artillery service is one of great im portance. At schools already eat lished, radio pupils are being special ly trained in communication with air planes and observation balloons. Scores of reserve officers from Flatsburg and other training camps are completing their technical educa tion in the artillery schools here. These officers, individually selected for the artillery service because of their education in higher mathe matics and engineering, are proving a great Joy to their commanders and instructors. It is predicted that all will make splendid officers In active service. The American gunners have been much Interested in the big 240's which are hauled by caterpillar trac tors but the real pets with the gun ners from overseas are those aristo crats among the heavies which com mand special railroad cars. Some of these rulers of the cannon world are so important and so valuable that and entire artillery train is devoted to them. These trains are strange looking affairs in their fantastic war paint, resembling at a distance a mammoth rattle snake. Even the engines are included in the camou flage and many resemble anything from a brick house to a giant hedge hog. The French sense of humor can not be suppressed by three years and more of war. French officers have named one of the largest guns turned over to the Americans "Mous tique," which means mosquito. "It is a compliment to any of your artillerymen who have come from New Jersey," said the French com mandant who said he had spent ten years on the eastern coast of the United States. The French guns, although large and apparently unwleldly, are balanc ed easily, one man being able to ele vate and deflect a weapon weighing fifty tons or more. ARMENIAN INVENTS FUEL THAT WILL WIX THE WAU Garabed Glragosslan Will Harness Tower Which Will Tntnsform War Methods, It is Claimed By Boston Originator. Washington, Oct. 10. Following favorable action by congress, garab ed, the fuel substitute designed to win the war and revolutionize all In dustry when peace returns, is to be investigated by a commission of re putable scientists. President Wilson has signed the bill which legally compels a demonstration by the in ventor, Garabed T. K. Giragossian, or his "free energy generator" be fore a scientific commission. The Inventor, an Armenian from Boston, is overjoyed that congress has passed a bill giving him his op portunity, "Even I," he said, "can not say definitely how much the garabed will do. It la not I or the machine that wiil accomplish results. It is na ture's limitless source of energy. Enegry, you must know, is every thing. It is everywhere In nature. r!.,.KvH iu Rlmnly transform and harness a supply of this energy, j making it do what man will want done. "Therefore I say that nature will do more through garabed than 1 have ever claimed it would." Mr. Giragossian, an earnest, middle-aged man with sharp brown eyes and a quizzical. Intent expression, then went on to lament the fact that the impression has gone abroad that his device is an engine of war. He has been working on it for years, he said, and did not dream of war pur poses when he began experimenting. His dream always had been, he de clared, to produce a generator that would do away with the use of coal, oil, gas or other fuels that are dirty, expensive and inefficient. Only when he had practically com pleted his work, the inventor assert ed, did it occur to him that he had devised a "free energy transformer warfare to the distinct advantage of the nation employing it." Then in reply to a question, Mr. Giragossian agreed the public was entitled to an Idea of his garabed. "We have to imagine a working engine." he said, "the motive power of which is not steam but something else which can be obtained freely. 'The sizo of this motor and the quantity of energy to be produced y It are dependent upon our will and enterprise. It can be manufactured with less expense and occupies less spr.ee and is very much lighter than the Fleam engine with its numerous appliances. "It Is portable and can be placed and put Into operation wherever there exists a spark of human life. Consequently, the steam engine will become obsolete. "The garabed. being free from boiler and furnaces, there will be no more explosions, no more victims, no more boilers to produce energy. In an area no larger than the Boston common (which is. 48 acres) suffi cient power can be produced un der the new system to supply the wants of the whole Industrial world. "The fire and lights of cities and farms will be supplied by electricity through free energy. Coal stoves, oil heaters, lamps and chandeliers, will forever be expelled from houses." Tobacco Goes Up a Notch. Five-cent packages of cigarettes now retail in Monroe for six cents, a nickel and a penny. Smoking to bacco, plug tobacco, and snuff have also advanced a few points since the revenue act went into effect, and there was a revenue man here Tues day and Wednesday checking up the tobacco stock of all local merchants. : Cigarettes and cigars that have in the past sold for five cents were Wed nesday morning advanced to six cents, while cigarettes and cigars which formerly brought ten cents now bring 12 cents, and some special brands from 13 to IS cents. Cigars which Monday sold for "three for a quarter," were advanced to 30 cents, or 10 cents straight. The same rate of Increase holds good in smoking tobacco that which formerly sold for five cents, now brings six cents, and the 10-cent probably doesn't affect many folks hereabouts, but it has also advanced grades, from 12 to 15 cents. Snuff in proportion to other forms of to bacco. Monroe tobacco users are not the only people who must have extra pen nies to purchase the smokes which they formerly could get for a piece of nickel or silver, for all over the United States the prices of tobacco are rising,, in proportion to those in this city. In many other towns and cities in the state the prices were in creased last week. It is pointed out that It would save the consumers of tobacco and tobac co dealers a whole lot of trouble if the manufacturers would cut down the quantity, of the tobacco, Instead of raising the price. For as the mat ter stands now the dealers will be required to keep on hand a large supply of pennies, and the tobacco smoker will always be loaded down with his pockets full of coppers. Whether the quantity of tobacco will be cut down or only the price raised la not known. But anyone who wants a smoke and has no tobacco, will be required to produce an extra coin when he goes to buy a supply. May Amend Draft Law; Register Youth 10 Up. Washington, Oct. 10. Representa tive Kahan of California, the Re publican who led the administration fmr-pa in ihn house when the army draft law was passed, said today a new draft act would have to be pass ed at the next session of congress to reach the mamy young men who have become 21 years or age since May H lnsf nnri that it nrohahlv would nnipnd the existing law so as to regis ter youths from 16 or 17 to become automatically subject to can on reaching the age of 21. Mr. Kahn ain until he intended to make a fight for an universal training law and an act to deal with alien slackers with out violating treaty obligations. "Sixty per cent of the American boys are being rejected for physical disability, a percentage that is ap palling," said Mr. Kahn. "That means that six out of 10 young men be tween the ages of 21 and 31 are eo deficient physically that they cannot be taken into the United States army, fact that must be a revelation to thinking people of the country, though the proportion of the deficient not quite as great as was me caae Enelnnd. fnlversal training would give the young men thorough know loHuo nf hvsionn and sanitation and would develop a race of men strong physically and mentally." Silent watches of the night are those people forget to wind. i FURTHER LIGHT SHED OX GEKMAX PKO-WAK ACTIVITIES Lansing Give Out More Information On Sinister Activities of Kaiser's Cohorts in Which Bernstorff, As Usual, Is Iiiclue1. Washington. Oct 10. Secretary Lansing drew upon his collection of oriiiun u'juuiiihuc correspon dence again today to shed further lit V A. . ngni upon wnat uerman roreign of fice and general staff were doing In this country while nominally at peace with the Unites States. He gave to the public, without comment as usual, three brief cable grams, disclosing that more than a year before submarine piracy drove America to war, the Berlin govern ment was instructing Ambassador von Bernstorff to arrange for destruc tion of Canadian railroads and to use Irish-Americans in carrying on sabot age in their own country. They show ed, too, that von Bernstorff on his part, was even at that early date seeking authority to support a cam paign to influence congress. The two telegrams from the Ger man foreign office to Count von Bern storff. in January, 1916. follow: "January 3. Secret. General staff desires energetic action in regard to proposed destruction of Canadian Pacific railway nt several points with a view to complete an 1 protracted interruption of traffic. Captain Boehm, who 13 known on your side, and Is shortly returning, has been given instructions. Inform the mili tary attache and provide the neces sary funds. (Signed) "ZIMMERMANN." O'lEARY RELIABLE BUT INDIS CREET "Jan. 26. For military attache you can obtain particulars as to persous suitable for carrying on sabotage in the United States and Canada from the following persons: l Joseph MacGarrity, Philadelphia, pa.; 2 John P. Keating, Michigan tivenue. Chicago; 3 Jeremiah O'Leary, 16 Park row, New York. "One and two are absolutely relia ble and discreet, number three Is te llable, but not always ulacieet. These persons were indicted hv Sir Roger Casement. In the United States sa botage can be carried out on every kind of factory for supplying muni tions of war. Railway embankments and bridges must not be touched. Embass must In no circumstances be compromised. Similar precautions must be taken in regard to Irish pro German propaganda. (Signed) "Representative of Gon eral Staff." The telegram from Cjunt Bernstoff to the foreign office In Berlin was sent In September, 1916, aa follows: O'LEARY EDITOR OF THE BULL "September 15. With reference to report A. N. Two Hundred and Sixty Six of May tenth, nineteen sixteen. The embargo conference In regard to whose earlier fruitful co-operation Dr. Hale can give information is just about to enter upon a vigorous cam paign to secure a majority In both houses of Congress favorable to Ger many and requests farther report. There is no possibility of our being compromised. Request telegraphic reply." Of the three men mentioned in the second message, MacGarrity Is a prominent Irish leader of Philadel phia, and Jeremiah O'Leary, besides ueuaing me American Truth society, is editor of Bull, a publication recent ly barred from the mail as seditious. While no one at the otate department would undertake to positively identi fy John P. Keating, It was assumed that the man referred to was John T. Keating of Chicago, und that Case ment did not know that he hod been dead for several months. It also was suggested that Casement might have DroDOsed these name ainmlv because he had met the men and knew them as Irish agitators iu this country, without any correspondence with them on the subject. The Quarter Is Still Waiting. (From the Pageland Journal.) Rev. and Mrs. Elkins returned last Friday from a visit to relatives and friends in Cheraw. When Mr. Elkins returned he found that some one had cut or torn off the wire screen from a window to a bed room, but fortunately the sash was locked and the thief did not get into the house. On Monday morning Mrs. Elkins told a little negro boy that if he would find the guilty party she would pay him twenty-five cents. Soon he returned saying he found out who did it, that it was a boy named John. She told him to tell John to come and get another quarter, and he ran off to get him, but returned very Boon saying: "John he done gone, and didn't say whar he wuz gwlne." So the quarter Is still wait ing. Murderer Gets Off Light. The Jury in the case of W. C. Nel son, on trial at Wilson for the mur der of Police Officer RIggan at Tar boro, on March 3rd last, brought in a verdict of second degree murder. Nelson was given the limit, 30 years In the State prison. In a previous trial of the same case at Tarboro, the Jury stood 11 to 1 for first de gree murder. Nelson was charged with violating the liquor laws. Officers Riggan and Gwaltney went with a search warrant to search his home, accom panied by the mayor. When they found a quantity of liquor. Nelson opened fire, killed both officers and wounded the mayor. Another police man became Insane as a result of the tragedy. rOVTAGE HATES KEEPING IT WITH SOAKING PRICES After Nov. 2 the 2-fent Denomina . tion Will lie Replaced by the New War-Time 3-C'rnt Stamp. ' Postage rates are keeping up with old h. c. I. Beginning Friday, Nov. t, the ordinary letter which has al ways been carried for two cents, will require a three cent stamp. Post cards will come under the two cent fate. j The lar.t session of concress. Just adjourned, enacted into the tax law a provision that the first-class rate f po.Msge shall he three cents an ounce or fraction thereof, instead fo two cents, as at present, and the act provides that it sh.ill become effec tive on the second day of November in the present year of grace. ' There is one provision, however, by which the three-cent letter postage ia avoided and that is mailing letters td addresses on rural fre; delivery routes centering in the city where mailed. Consequently, ell letter.? Intended for Monroe pecnle and those living on rural free delivery routes leaving the Monroe po: .office, will still be carried for two cents. But all other letters must bear three cent stamps. There are large quantities of stamped envelopes In Union county carrying the two-cent stamp, and to use these after Nov. 2 it will be nec essary to attach a 1 cent stamp In addition to the 2-cent btamp emboss ed Into the paper of the envelope. In addition to the 3-cent letter postage, postal cards and the like, which have heretofore been carried for one cent, must have two-cent stamps attached. This means that a new Issue of postal cards Is being printed in Washington, but should they not arrive In time the old one cent pt tal card will be used, to which must be attached an additional one cent stamp. ' This affects picture cards as well as the regular United States postal card which has so long sold for a penny. Postal cards mailed in the city or to people receiving mail on rtral free delivery routes will be car ried for a penny as formerly, accord ing to the best Information obtain able, but those leaving tho city must carry the two-cent stamp or two one cent stamps. In case a letter Is mailed after No vember 2 with only two cents In stamps attached, the letter will be returned to the sender marked "post age due," or it may be sent to the person to whom it is addressed, mark ing the same way, payment of the ad ditional penny being necessary before It can be delivered, Just as is the case now when a letter is mailed with In sufficient postage attached. It Is stated that the postofflce de partment is having the new two-cent postal cards printed now and that they will be furnished all postoffices as soon as is possible, but In the meantime the one-cent cards may be used until November 2, after which an additional penny stump will be used. GEKMAX V IS PLAXXIXG TO RULE THE UNIVERSE Would Effect World Conquest With Russia and Japan ns Her Allies Provided England Ist. New York, Oct. 10. A Washing ton dispatch to the New York Times says: As viewed through the spectacles of Cologne Gazette, Germany has the choice of being a full partner in the future "syndicate for the division of the world" or of being an outsider. This syndicate is pictured by the Gazette as a political combination of Germany, Russia and Japan, but it suggests that before Germany can be come a "full partner" in such "a syndicate" the British empire must be defeated in the war. "If the Russian chooses the Eng lishman as his friend," asserts the Gazette, according to advices reach ing Washington, "the world power or Germany is relegated to a misty distance. It is indeed doubtful whether, In that event, our object can ever be achieved. "Moreover, in addition to this loss we shall have for a long time to come to reckon with continental struggles which will cost blood, mon ey and strength and the result of which with Germany standing at the edge of Austria-Hungary againbt Russia, France and England cannot be calculated. "If there Is a way to effect from powers the comparatively rapid disso lution of the British empire, it Is on ly by means of a German-Russian-Japanese world coalition. Of course such a coalition is at bottom anoth er syndicate for the division of the world. "The utmost German's devotion to peace would not dispose of the ag gressive Imperialism of the others, but would merely permit Germany's development to decay. We have the choice between being full partners In the future syndicate for the division of the world or being a despised out sider. "If we succeed, by means of Rus sian and Japanese advances, with German and German-Turkish protec tion of their flanks. In destroying the English positions in middle and far east, the ultimate reconciliation of Russian and North American Im perialism will be facilitated, because North America will then be unable to co-operate with Great Britain in the Pacific ocean. "Perhaps in the later future to mention only one of the numerous possibilities the North American I Far Eastern line of separation will run straight acrora the Australlian 1 continent, which, as is widely known, is eagerly coveted by the Japanese. " If we are able to overthrow the British, and thus to render Russia and Japan decisive in Asia against England, we ought to be r.ble to ob tain permanent recognition of our Turkish ad near eastern policy and to make the western edge of the Per sian mountains the frontier between the quadruple alliance's sphere of .n terest and Russia's sphere of interest." Congratulations Sent to British Troop. British Headquarters in France and .Belgium. Oct. 11. (By the Asso ciated Press I The recent operations in Flanders have brought many con gratulatory messages to the Btitisn troops. Field Marshal Haig has is sued an order of the day containing a number of dispatches received on October 5 and the replies sent to them. General J. J. Pershing, com mander of the American expedition ary force in France, telegraphed: 'Permit me to extend sincere con gratulations to you and your mag nificent army upon important gains in front of Ypres. They give a sti ik ing answer to the weak-kneed peace propaganda." Field Marshal Haig sent this an swer: "I wish to thank you very heartily in behalf of th? liriti-h army under my command for your most kind tele gram. We look forward to the day when the American armies Join us on the western front and we are quite confident that the allies, so reinforc ed will fight their way to an early and decisive issue." PEACE BEFORE VII TORY WOULD CRUSH DEMOCRATIC IDEALS President Wilson in Address Empha sizes Need For Team Play by Force of American Thought and Sentiment. Washington. Oct. 8. An extensive movement to lead and express public opinion on the war was inaugurated here today by formation of the League for National Unity, represent ing church, political, labor, agricul tural and Industrial organizations, to which President Wilson gave his en dorsement In an address emphasizing the need for team play by the forces of American thought and opinion. Welcoming the leaders of the movement at the white house In a brief speech, the President expressed the belief that American public opin ion, although understanding the war's causes and principles, need3 guidance to remember that the war should end only when Germany is beaten and Germany's rule of auto cracy and might are superseded by the Ideals of democracy. This is the issue, which the Ameri can people should always keep in mind, the President said, in order to avoid being misled Into byways of thought and of the resultant scatter ing of the force ef public opinion. Talk of early peace before Germany is defeated Is one of the evidences of misdirected thought, he suggested, and should not cloud the vision of those who understand that the Unit ed States Is fighting now for the same Ideals of democracy and free dom that have always actuated the nation. The President gave warning that It should not be forgotten that German success would meau not only preven tion of the speed of democracy, but possibly the supresslon of that al ready existing. Half Million Appropriated For Bel gian Relief. Washington, Oct. 11. The Ameri can Red Cross war council today ap propriated $589,930 for the relief of Belgians not under German rule, the work to be carried out by the new Red Cross department for Belgian organized under the Red Cross com mission to France. Comprehensive plans for relief work have been worked out as tho result of conferences between King Albert and Major Grayson M. P. Mur phy, head of the commission to France. Warehouses and stores arc to be erected immediately along the canals and highways in Belgium from which food-stuffs and clothing will be distributed by barges and automo biles to the hundreds of thousands of refugees crowding behind the fight ing lines. Particular attention Is to be given to Belgian children and orphans who have been the chief sufferers during the three years of war. Refugee Bel gian children in France and Switzer land also are to receive the special care. Included in the Belgian appropria tion also Is money for operation of a hospital for wounded Belgian soldiers t supplement the hospital resources of the Belgian government now over taxed. The new department has been es tablished at Harve, the present seat of the Belgian government. A Slteen.iu!i (,'rln. (From the Pageland Journal.) One day last week when cotton was selling for 27 cents a pound Mr. S. H. Laney came down the street wear ing a 16-inch grin. When asked about the cause he said he was sell ing cotton for twenty cents. Then he explained that last spring when he was offered 20 cents for fall delivery ' his men couldn't resist the tempta tion to sell a little, and they sold 15 bales. Steve thinks it's better to; laugh than cry, so he laughed. He is the only one who sold last spring that we hie seen laughing over it. Once a hero always a hero es pecially to the hero himself. I.ITTI E FIGHTING NOW IN PROGRESS OX ANY FRONTS Rain lYcvtiits Raiding and Activity Is Limited to Reciprocal Bombard ments, ratability of More light ing. Comparatively little fighting activi ty is in progress on any ot the bat tle 1 routs, except in the nature 01 re ciprocal bombardments, la Flanders Thursday both the British and French troops Kept to their trenches, neither assay ius attacks nor being 1 01 ted to sustain coui.ter-oitensivea agaibst the new position t.'.ey hold as a itbult of Tuesday s iluve.

Additional rain over this ngiom has accentuated the swampy con dition cf tne giounu and 11 probably will be veral days before the Brit ish and French again jointly unleash, their men lor another raiu against the Teutons. Wednesday ni;,'M the French repulsed a heavy counter-attack east of Diaibank. The Gennaus during this time lei the British se verely ulone with their iniantry, but hurled masses of shells into their line west of Passchenlaele. Along the southern front in France the Geimnns again have met with defeat in attempting to capture French positions on the east bank of the Meuse in the Verdun sector. The attacks were not made in force, be ing more in the nature of trench raid ing operations. The prospects of a return to heavy fighting in Rumania, with the Rus sians the aggressors, seem good. On, the Rumanian plain and near Braila the Russians have heavily bombard ed the Teutonic allied position, while the Germans in reprisal shelled the Important Danubian town of Galatz. their shells causing several hrea. On the northern sector of the eastern front near Riga, the Germans alter a hevy bombardment pushed bark the Russians in the vicinity of Pskoft highroad. Daily the artillery duels in Mace donia with the entente forces exert ing the greater power are increasing, especially In the direction of Doiraa and north of Monastir, and it Is prob able that at no late date the predict ed allied offensive in this regioa will begin. There have been no developments concerning the attempted mutiny aboard the German warships at WU helmshaven. Emperor William, dur-' ing the political turmoil that had been created by the "revelations of disaffection in the navy, is visiting Feddinnnd of Bulgaria in Sofia. .NLIYOR OF PHILADELPHIA IS HELD FOR GRAND JURY Thomas B. Smith Under $IO,(MM Bond on Charges (.rowing Out of Murder of Policeman Ouster At tempt Likely. Philadelphia. Oct. 11. What is re garded by his political opponents a presaging an effort to depose Mayor Thomas B. Smith was made today when he was held In $10,000 ball by Judge Brown in the municipal court today to await the action of the grand Jury on six charges growing out of the murder by alleged Imported gan men of a policeman In the fil th ward here on primary election day. The gunmen are declared to have been brought here to Intimidate voters and workers opposed to the faction fa vored by Mayor Smith and his politi cal associates. The charges ngainst the mayor In clude misbehavior in office, contempt of court In refusing to produce cer tain documentary evidence; violation of the Shern election law forbidding: participation In politics by city em ployes; conspiracy to commit assauU and battery and conspiracy to com mit murder. Three other principal defendants,. Isaac Deutsch, common councilman and defeated candidate fot the natnl natlon to select council; William R. FInley, mercantile appraiser and ex evutive director of the Republican city committee, and David Bennett,, a police lieutenant In the fifth ward, also were held under $10,000 bail each cn similar charges and five po licemen under Bennett, co-defendants, were ench held in $5,000 bail. The defense, contending that Judge Brown, sitting as a committing mag istrate, had no Jurisdiction In hear ing the case, tefused to enter bail before that court, but did so in an other court, where nine writs of ha beas corpus were granted on the pe tition of counsel to relea.se the de fendants from "illegal bonding." The writs were made returnable October 29, when the question of Judge Brown's Jurisdiction will be argued. Bail was fixed in the same sum for their appearance at this proceeding. By instituting the habes corpus proceedings counsel for the defense avoided the commitment of the de fendants by Judge Brown in default of bail In the tribunal over which he presides. Uncle Jim, the Wagoner. (From the North Wilkesboro Herald) Mr. J. E. Bentley of East Fruit land, returned last week from Con cord, Cabarrus county, where he took a load of fine Virginia Beauty apples. This by no means Is the first trip that "Uncle Jim" has made to Con cord with apples. He has been go ing to Cabarrus and Mecklenburg counties with apples, cabbage and chestnuts for the last 40 years. Mr. Bentley says Cabarrus is next tot Wilkes In good citizenship.
