BRITAIN BELGIUM NO 'LOST SOULS' IN , SAYS lic6 ennr Fi 1 1 San Antonio, Nov. 17.-jGeneral Funston expressed resentment today at the action pt the Baptist General Association of Virginia which adopt ed a resolution at Norfolk yesterday protesting against the alleged atti tude of the general in forbidding evangelist telling soldiers they were lost. "Baptists' who are distorting the statement of my position regarding the kind of church work acceptable in border camps had better put their property in the names of their wives," said General Funston. Goneral Funston told Dr. J. B. Gambrell, representing the Texas Baptist State Etoard, that he did not want men ii the army to be consid ered as "lost souls." FORESEE UPPER NEUSE COMMERCE OF SIZE BY MEANS OF GASBOATS The gasoline freight boat may be come an important factor in the re sumption of navigation on the upper Neuse river, which object local buni- interests haveXsteadily inclined t0 ior threC PilSl With announcement some months ago that a steamor service between Balti more, Norfolk and New Bern would be inaugurated, the Kinston cham ber of commerce and businessmen acquired a new hope that upriver wa ter commerce would become a reality, a plan to deepen, widen and straight en the channel from a point below here to Goldsiboro having fallen fiat, for the present at least. Recently a suggestion for a line of shallow-draft steamers from Goldsboro or Seven Springs via Kinston to New Bern j was made, but whether or not the j traffic would be large enough to war rant the operation of such craft is a que tion still undecided. An occasional very small steam boat and once In a while a motorboat makes this "port." Kinston business men believe that a regular service, with a schedule for the convenience of passengers, between this city and New Bern would pay the promoters of a motorboat line, and would be an impetus for the building up of a considerable upstream commerce. New Brn and Washington have large fleets of such craft, operating on the Neuse, Trent, Pamlico and Tar riv ers. Nearly all the vessels, some of ,thcrn as large as small steamers, are believed to be running at a profit to their owners. Tne passenger busi ness is quite large, and a number of small Pamlico river towns have dai ly connections with the railroads at Washington. , It is pointed out that the construction cost of gasoline boats is small compared with that of the steam Vessels, and that the operation cc3t is much smaller. The trip to New Ern from Kinston could be made in three or four hours, and the return, against the current, in prob ably an hour longer.

WEAVER IS ELECTED 1U uu u Gets Majority of 10 Over Republican Britt "Out rageously Robbed," Says Incumbent Action After Mandamus Asheville, Nov. 17.

At at tho first trial, she will tes- t'l'v that she shot in self-defense when her husband persisted In try i:ig to force physical attentions upon her after she declared she could not be his wife.

PHILLIP SIMMS, (United Pret Staff Correspondent) With the Canadian Forces on the vmmo Front, Nov. 18. Eight mm utes of dashing across a sea of mud, of methodically advancing in the face of a fierce fire and of quick work in a trench fight sufficed the Canadians ;c take Regina trench, one of the smoothest bits of trench-taking wit nessed in the Homme drive. I saw tiie (Canadians, muddy to their eye- hrows, but grinning, the day after they accomplished the feat. The as sault in the short period of eight min utes was 'executed in brilliant moon' J'tght. Despite a terrific counter, German barrage fire and the sea of mud everywhere, the objective the Canadians sought was completely wen and reorganized before the dawn by digging 250 yards of con necting trenches in the night. A per fect bombardment was speeded up until at midnight it reached a con tinuous roar. The British barrage Are began fifty yards in front of the Canadian trenches. At midnight every man went over the parapet un der the barrage fire, and commenced a move forward toward the Regina, bid by the Prussian guard. The gun fire was perfect. Tho Canadian wave was enabled to follow closely the as sault of what remained of the Prus sian guard. Not a human voice was ho;ud in the whole assault and the perfect silence in this respect during the whole action made the attack a mod:! of method and co-rferation of all the branches. A number of Am ericans participated. The command ing general is very proud of his men. They never wtvered once and fought like bearcats. JURY TO GET THE AIR BUBBLE MYSTERY CASE (By the United Press) Olney, 111., Nov. 18. The now fa mous "air bubble" death of Miss Eli zabeth Radcllffe, seventeen and pret ty, for which Roy Hinterliter is in jail here on a charge of murder, will receive the attention of the grand jury which convenes here Monday. At tho trial the State will seek to prove that Hinterliter, a young farm er, in attempting to prevent Miss Radcliffe from becoming a mother, pumped air into her veins with a catheter and that a bubble of air reached her heart and killed her. An air babble in her heart was the causa of her death, according to a commis sion of physicians which examined the body. , Hinterliter, tho body of the girl across his knees, drove madly up to a sanitarium at midnight July 21st and begged attendants to revive her. He Mid she had fallen unconscious In hU arms a they were driving along a -dark road. She wa dead. , The authorities insist they V can prove Soy and Elizabeth were be neath the tree the evening of July 21 and wIlU attempt to prove 'that the yonng'farmer induced the girl to let him use the catheter. PLAMGUAGE TO TIRED SUBMARI London. Nov. 17. The visit of Baron Burian, the Auetro-Hungarian Foreign Minister to Berlin, is atat ed to have been in connection with a conference with Dr. Von Bethmann Hollweg, tho German imperial chan cellor, regarding the relations of the two empires wkh the United States, according to a dispatch under a Berne date, .given out today by the Wire less Press. The oueation under dis cussion, says the dispatch, was whe ther the submarine campaign should be continued in its presont form with the possibility of a rupture of rela-' tiona with Washington or whether it should be modified. "During the last few days," adds the dispatch, "the German govern ment has received a plain verbal warning that President Wilson's pa tience was on the verge of exhaus tion." WILL ROB SECTION OF HOLLY TREES ALMOST TO EXTINCTION, SAID Fcrests of red and green holly in four or five counties of this par ol North Carolina are to be stripped during the coming 30 days to supply an abnormal demand for Christmas trees in the North. Scattering ship monts are already under way. The price of the product is said to have vnerfased 20 per cent, over last year, when heavy shipments were made frtrm Onslow, Duplin, Jones, Craven ami Wayne counties, much of the holly going through this city. Hun dreds of trees passed up in former years will fall prey to the lure of srold this season. Dealers in New York and smaller markets are re ported to be clamoring for the ever green, and with slow marketing, prides may be expected to take a rise, it Is said. Tne "crop" w in beautiful condition, partly because of tho mildness of the fall; birds, rob bing the trees of berries In severe weather when more desired food is scarce, Btrip the holly trees, but this season has presented a plenty tor the feathered creatures without their having to resort to this pillage. The red berries on older trees are as large as were even seen. One sam ple sprig exhibited here Saturday contained exceedingly large ones. The production this year la said to bs superior in Lenoir county; about 500 trees in the Bucklosberry ac tlon are reported to lie the finest In the region. Usually Onslow or Dup lin county produces thi best holly. Mistletoe is scarce, and will probab ly bring record-breaking prices. Hol ly and mistletoe .will, of course, have first place in the sales of Christmas decorations, but hundreds of thous ands of small spruce and flr trees, the latter grown for the purpose, will be marketed In New York, the center of the business, Chicago and other cit ies. Crates are being manufactur ed especially for the shipment of holly this year, it is understood. Small, long boxes make preferable packages; heretofore most of the holly has been shipped in barrels. A very ordinary (ree will bring $5 or more at retail in the North this year, it is expected. TURKEY IS THE REAL KING OF BIRDS NOW Turkeys are 4 1-2 cents a pound higher now than at this time last year. Dealers say the general ' pros perity and not a shortage on the farms is the cause. Good timet struck the barnyards of this section long ago, and with hen eggs selling at forty cents In Kinston for weeks past and apt to go higher, it is only reasonable that the Thanksgiving bird should be worth 22 1-2 instead of 18 cents. There Is probably very lfttle increase in the production over last year, but the demand f is much greater, There la admittedly;; a handsome profit In the fowls at the new prfoe.
