The American Bar Aasodatinn has
passed a resolution unanimously that
no attorney should make any charge
lor services rendered a regiatrant or

The North Carolina State Connofl of
National Defense has taken similar
action- and is prepared to . bare all
eedful ' services rendered a registrant
or selected man without cost to the
man himself or to any members of
his family. - At attorney is a sworn
officer of the law, and bis first duty
is to the Government and that duty
requires him to advise a registrant or
selected man that he Is not entitled ro :
exception, lm such be the law, and It
Is also his patriotic duty to prepare
any papers setting forth the exact
facts in any particular ease for a regis
trant or selected man and submit these
facts, not In the capacity of a paid
attorney, but as a patriotic citisen,
to exemption boards. In every comi
ty In the State attorney will be called
upon by the American Bar Association,
and by the State Council of National
Defense, to render legal services, and
they will be glad to do it The Attor

vices and regard It aa a patriotic pri
vilege to do so.
I have notified the Adjutant General
of the State not to consider affidavits
prepared by attorneys Or any otbern
person unless these affidavits shall

most Certain that the Road
Will Come By Concord.
The members of the Pathfinders'
party of tbeilank.bead National High
way reached Osncord last nit(bt about
T :20 o'Clock. Tney were met at Salis
bury by Messrs. O. L. Patterson, L..D.
Coltrane, C W. Rwink, C. J. Harris
and Joe Paris a ad escorted Into the
city. A good slaed and most enthus
iastic crowd assendtled at the court
house to welcome thrxa.
Mr. M.H. Caldwell extended Con
cord's wekmeo them, and asked Mr.
L. T. Hartsell to Introduce the speak
ers. The first speaker waa Mr. J. . A.
Rountree, secretary of thsVassoclatron,
who spoke a few words' sni then Intro
duced Mr. T. 8. Plowman, i president of
the association. He referred to the
large, membership of the Concord High
way Association, there bei ng over 100
members in it. He spoke briefly em
phasizing the point that the "building
of good roads la the xaost Important
thing before the people. Jtr. Rountree
then presented several other members
of the association.
Senator Bankhead was then Intro
duced. He Is the father of the high
way and it was named for him. . The
Senator said that the lateness of the
hour in reaching Concord was not due
to bad roads but to the fact of being
unable to get away from the enthusi
astic crowds en route. He spoke of the
excellent roads between Greensboro
and Concord and of the stretch between
Greensboro and High Point especially.
In the ceremonies at the starting of
the pathflnding party at Washington,
the Senator said, every department of
the government was represented to bid
the work God speed. It is proposed
to locate the greatest highway in the
world from Washington to Los Angeles,
CaL The day to discuss the need of
good roads has passed. What we want
now is action, ion people in jauarru
understand what good roads are, for
you have spent your money in building
them. This highway wm nave no
competition as a trans-contlitental road.
It ls-below the snow line, there are
no high mountain peaks-o-it, and it
traverses the entire breadth of the
South. The government is behind this
movement, and It-is the duty of the
government to assist in the construc
tion and maintenance of good roads.
The government is ready to aid ut
not to build all the road. If I had my
way about It I do not. hesitate to say
that the road, would come by Concord.
Congressman Webb, who was then
Introduced, was cordially received. He
said this will be the greatest highway
in the world. Its purpose Is to bind
our .great country together, like the
our nose of the great Appian way leaa
ing out from Borne in ancient times. I
have a sneaking notion, Mr. Webb said,
that this road is coming by Concord.
This road is not a dream. The govern
ment will help the people, and they will
build it I want this roaa to oeiong to
our people, who are the best people in
the, world

RETIRING ITALIANS ,
DESTROY BRIDGES
The Third Italian Army Has
Carried Out Its Retreat to
the Eastern '.Side 0f the
Tagliamento River.
(Special Th Trlkau)
' Russia is worn out by the strain
of the war, and now looks to other
allies for help. This is l'remler Ker
ensky's opinion of the Russian situ
ation, after seven months in attempt
ing a ' reorganisation and a regenera
tion. But Russia is not out of the
war. Kerenaky declares that she be
gan the fighting and is now taking an
enormous part. In it. The newest re
public, however, claims as her right
that nie other allies should shoulder
the burden of the war.-
The recent German aucccHses In the
Gulf of Riga, when the Russian fleet
was unable to withstand the superior
ucrman naval forces, the Russian
premier declared, is causing the Rus
sian people to ask why the British
fleet did not 'Come to, Russia's aid.
Great Britain's fleet was not sent to
the assistance of Russia, Sir Eric Ged-
des, first lord of the admiralty, 'said
in the House of Commons Thursday,
because of the time involved and the
extensive mine fields scattered in the
path from the North Sea to the Baltic.
The unanimous opinion of the naval
authorities was that the step was one
that should not be taken.
Gen. Cadorna's forces are now be
hind the Tagliamento from the Cifrnic
Alps to the head of the Adriatic, while
the J jTa2toff Au8tr-Grmana l"ve
reached the eastern back. Important
bridgeheads on a front of thirty miles
along the river have been captured by
the invaders.
Official statements do not indicate
that the German forces -have yet cross
ed the river, which is' reported above
normal height because of the freshets.
In the Carnic Alps the Germans
seemingly have been making slow pro
gress toward the upper reaches of Tag
liamento, but not activity is mention
ed in this region. Even should the in
vaders succeed in crossing the Taglia
mento in the region of Ampezzo, the
lower course of the rlter still will be
of great assistance to the Italians. In
their, retirement the l&Uans probably
have destroyed all bridges across the
stream and small forces on the eastern
bank might lie able to hold back the
Invaders while Gen. Cadorna prepares
for a stronger stand on the line of the
Piave river, about twenty-five miles to
the west of Tagliamento in order to
muke a supreme effort to save Venice.
The third Italian army has carried
out its retreat to the eastern side of
Tagliamento, nearly complete as it left
the Isonzo. Tho Italian destroyed
great stores of materials and ammuni
tion in their retreat.

EN IES THAT Fl U SSIA
IS OUTOFTHE WAR
Kerensky Says His Country
is Worn Out By Long
Strain But Ridiculous to
Say She is Out of the War,
ASKED FOR MUCH
' NEEDED HELP
Russian Premier Discusses
the Situation Frankly with
Associated Press Corre
spondent Today.
(My Tk iMtHaM lr )
Petrograd, Nov. 2. In view of re
ports reaching Petrograd that the im
pression waa spreading abroad that
Russia was virtually out of the war.
Premier Kerensky discussed the pres
ent condition of the country frankly
today with the Associated Press, lie
said that Russian was worn out by the
long strain, but it was ridiculous to
say that the country was out of the
war. . .
The Premier referred to the year in
which Russia had fought Its own
campaigns alone with no such assist
ance as had been extended by Great
Britain and America. He sad lie felt
help urgently was needed and Russia
had asked it as her right. lie urged
the United States to give aid in tho
form of money and supplies and ai-
peals to the world not to lose faith in
RuKsiun revolution.
Russia, Minister Kerensky said, was
taking an enormous part In the strug
gle and those who said she wus out of
war had short memories.
"Is Russia out of wur?" was asked,
and Premier Kerensky laughtcd.
That, he answered, "Is a ridicul
ous question. Russia is taking an enor
mous part In the war. One hus only to
remember history. Russia begun war
for the allies. While she was already
fighting England was only preparing
and America only observing.
"Russia at the beginning bore the
whole brunt of the fighting, thereby
saving Great Britain and France. Peo
ple who say she. is out of the wnr have
short memories. We have fouslit since
the beginning and they must now take
the heaviest part of the burden on
their shoulders.
"At present Russia's, public opinion
is agitated by the question: 'Where
is the British fleet? now that the Ger
man fleet is out of the Baltic."
CONFIDENCE EXPRESSED IN .

(By The Auoclnted l"rf)
Washington, Nov. 2. Premier Kere-i-
sky's warning that Russia's ullios will
have to bear her burder of the conflict
hile the war-weury nation regains its
strength in three years of fighting the
enemies without aud within, hus arous
ed new expressions of Russia's future
and assurances of support from the
United States government mid repre
sentatives of all the allies.
The Russian embassy made the pre
mier's statement of the Russian posi
tion the occasion to reiterate ihat she
has no intention to quit the war, and
the State Department declared that in
no way could the premier's statement.
or any of its onicinl advices, be con
strued to mean that Russia seeks a sep
arate peace.
As another mark of confidence in
the Russia, government the Treasury
today authorized the immediate ov-
vance of $31,700,000 to Russia out-of
the credits of $3250,000,000 already
authorized.
Secretary Lansing, deploring any
Interpretation of Kereuesky statement
to the effect that Russia wus about to
quit the war, assailed the Washing
ton Post which printed over a brier
preliminary account of Kerenesky's
statement the headline ' Russia gulfs
the War". He authorizes this state
ment. "There- lias been nothing in dis
patches received by the Department
of State from Russia or in nny in

sources whatever to justitv the mi
pression created hv the w iismnston

AMERICANS TELL SOME
THRILLING STORIES
Men Tell of Experiences in Trenches
in France.
(Br The Auoclnted Preas)
With the American Army in France,
November 2.-Some of the American -soldiers,
who have just been relieved, ;
after service in the trenches, had thrill
ffig" stories td tell on retnrnlng-to their -
billets. On clear days, especially, Uer
uian snipers became busy. American
infantrymen were told to attend to any
sniper who became active, and more
than one of them will snipe Americans
no more.
Artillery on both sides was rather
more uctive during the last few days
in which the first contingent of Ameri
cans was in the trenches. Aside from .
livening up things for a while, noth
ing was accomplished by the enemy.
The Infantry in the first section
had a lively time for two nights.
The Germans thinking the hostile
patrol was near them opened fire with
their rifles at the point where oppos
ing trenches were the nearest The
American Army let the Germans fire
for a time, then they themselves bgean
to fire.
Several German airplanes which flew
over the trenches were targets for the
rifles and machine guns.
The morale of the American is dis-
tictly pleasing to France. The troops
marched out of the trenches In the.
dark, wet and muddy garments cling
ing to them. As soon as they were out
of hearing the men swung along
whilstling and singing.
