Paris, battering the rear of the retreat

"It woul seem that the rout of the
Austrian army, whose double duty it
was to cover Lemberg an also the right
flank of tbe Austrian forces in Poland,
was so absolute that the Russians
must have entered Lemberg at the
heels of the rusaways, for at 11 o'clock
Thurdsay morning Lemerg was en
tirely in Russian possession.
The military stores of every kind,
explosives, powder magaxines, complet

short, the whole equipment of the im

to the hands of the victorious Rus
sians. "The capture of Halicz, which was
protected by thirty small forts, entailed
a harder task, as the Russians were
obliged to vapture all the forts, and the
Austrians made desperate resistance.
"The Russians have been fighting
continuously for eight days after a pre

"The fighting and marching troops

Halicz on the 17th after two days of

THE BRITISH LOOKING
TOWARD THE EAST.
LONDON, Sept. 4 The British pub
lic has turned hopeful eyes toward the
East where the triumph of Russian arms
in the Austrian Province of Galiica has
been amply confirmed. In addition to
the battle of Lembefg, in which the
flower of six Austrian army corps
were destroyed, it is evident that
there has been a simultaneous vic
tory at Tomaszoe, a town of some
importance 30 miles southeast of
Lodz, in Russian Poland. It ap
pears evident today that not only
has the Austrian offensive through
Russian Poland, destined to effect a
junction with German army corps from
East Prussia, failed, but the blow has
been so severe that Galicia is virtually
in the control of the Russians. Lem
berg is not only the capital of an enor
mous territory Slavic in its syoine
but ajso a transportation path
great tragic value, being the center of
eigtu railroads. .. or;
If the "Russian successes continuf
it is expected that the Austrians will
be cleared out of Russian Poland with
in a Tew days.
The meagre German reports re
ceived here indicate that the Ger
mans are more than holding their
own on the border of Fast Prussia,
but the Russian general staff , accord
ing to he point of view held in Lon
don does not seem greatly concerned
over the status of th campaign n
this territory, evidently, being will
ing to await the outcome of move
ments further eastward before 'hrow
ing Russia's ful streng h agains Prus
sia. The veil of secrecy over the West
ern area of the fighting the coun
try north of Paris never has been
hardep to penetrate than during the
past 24 hours. There is no evidence
at hand to show that the persistent
advance of the Germans has been ap
preciably checked, on the contrary at
least one point the German contact
is now with in" 25 miles of the outer
ortifications o Paris.

More than seven thousand men, wo

negro desperado who, several months

Sheriff promised his posse the execu

railroads ran special excursion trains
here. Crywds began gathering last
night and several thousand persons
slept in the open and in vehicles of
all descri. itions.
The main street of the village was
converted into a midway, where were
displayed all kinds of wares. Many
sideshows afforded amusement to the
throng and barkers made the hamlet

administration officials to-day. It was

JONES COUNTY CITIZENS
HUE VERY DPTOMISTIG
GOOD CROPS AND HIGH PRICES
MAKE THEM FEEL
GOOD.
According to a statement made yes
terday by Harry Bryan, a we 1 known
business man of Pollocksville who was
in New Bern attending to business
matters, the farmers in and around
Pollocksville and in fact all over Jones
are very optomistic over the present
financial conditions in that section. Mr.
Bryan stated that much tobacco wa9
grown there this season and that the
farmers have brought large quantities
of this to the local market and disposed
of it at good prices and that they have
received good prices for the weed. For
(ne past week cotton picking has been
in progress therre and the first bale will
e placed on the market within a day
or two. A Wilmington cotton export
g firm handle the majority of the cot
ton in that section and their represen
tative in New Bern has been instruct
ed to be on hand when the first of the
fleecy stap.e is brought in and to buy
it. The citizens of Piollocksville are
greatly enthused over the work which is
now in progress on the new cotton oil
mill which is being erected there. Among
the stockholders in this new enterprise
are some of the most prominent men
in Jones county as well as some of New
Bern's capitalists and there is every
reason to believe that they will make
it a paying venture. Not only will the
mill be of benefit to the farmers but a
large amount of labor will be employed
and this will aid materially in increas
ing the town's population.

IS GENERALLY BELIEVED NEW
SYSTEM CAN BE IN OPER

I WASHINGTON, Sept. 5. After all
day conference with clearing house dele
gates from many large cities, the federal
reserve board announced tonight it
would proceed immediately with the
organization of the 12 reserve banks
provided for by the new currency sys
tem. It generally is accepted the sys
tem can be put in operation about Oct.
1. The actual opening may be delayed
but it was said that the 12 banks would
be ready to do business within the
next six weeks.
fc..fcay
there was little hospitality shown at the
conference to early opening of the new
system, and government officials hope all
oppositiion by bankers will be overome
before the time of opening arrives
The conference was confined closely to
the question of opening and to a dis
cussion of foreign and domestic ex
change situation. Delegates furnished
such information as they possessed, but
left the board without much concrete
knowledge as to the exact situation
throughout the country. A committee
was named to consider foreign and do
mestic exchange and formulate a plan
by which Ameiican obligations to Eu
rope can be adjusted without taking
gold out of the country.
There are some incidental discussion
of the general financial situation and of
the recent steps taken by the treasury
department to issue additional bank cur
rency. In consequence of the meeting,
there will be no effort on the part of
the le.erve board to name the class "C"
directors for the reserve banks for some
time. Every other step which must pre

laid out before the directors are an- j

EOES AFTER TRADE
KERM1T ROO-.EYELT SENT BY
NATIONAL CITY BANK
PITTSBURGH, Pa., Nept 5 - Rep
resentatives of several large Pittsburgh
concerns are now on their way to
South American ports to investigate
the possibilities of rapturing some of
the trade of that continent. This ac
tion Was taken as a result of efforts
by the National City Bank of New
York to open branch banks in Buenos
Avres and Rio de Janeiro.
It was learned also to-day that as
a result of the action of the Federal
Reserve Board in granting the New
York bank premission to open branch
banks in those cities, that the bank
already has sent three representatives
to South America, one of them whom is
Kermit Roosevelt, a son of former
President Theodore Roosevelt.
The National City Bank has .been
in communication with Pittsburgh con
cerns with reference to the possibili
ties of establishing trade relations with
the South Ameiican continent, and the
establishment of branch banks in the
two leading cities of South America,
it is thought will prove a great aid in
opening up the commerce of the coun
try to the United States.
Some of the large Pittsburgh con
cerns say there has been inquiry at
ready for various articles from for
eign lands, as well as inquiry for coal
by Spain and Portugal. Some large
steel orders have been booked with
South America, a recent one calling
for a big amount of rails which will
be made at Homestead.
