London1, November II. -Telegraph ing from Copenhagen a Central News correspondent says a dispatch from Cotoogne affirms that the Pope shortly will endeavor to initiate negotiations for peace through the , medium of pastorial letter. The German view of this is that any such action by His Holiness would raise the question of the Pope's temporal power to force Italy into taking an attitude against the proposal, ( -fSi 4 Fill WHISPER OF PEACE GOMES FROM RUSSIA Report Say. That Bulls Haa A, proached Russia With Over Ture Looking Toward Casea tion of Ho till tie. VERY LITTLE CREDENCE , PLACED IN EVMOR. Petrograd Dispatcher Tell of Brllll . . last Succeaeee la That Sec tlon Coeeacka Raiding Near Cracow. London, Nov. 11. Coincident with the news that every German soldier has been swept from Russian soil comes a whisper of peace negotiations in the report from Petrograd that Ber lin has approached Russia with over tures looking toward a cessation of hostilities. Contrary to the German report that the Russians had been checked on the frontier of East Prussia, Petrograd declares that a brilliant success in that region has been succeeded by an actual invasion of German territory,. An equal triumph is reported from the Other end of the long Russian battle line. ; With Cossacks raiding within twenty miles of Cracow, the commandent of that fortress has ordered the civilian population of the city to leave. Pr emysl is said to be fully invested again and the reduction of this fortress is likely to precede any further advance by the Russian left wing.- Petrograd is not wholly satisfied with the scope of the victories re ported against the Germans for the belief prevails in military circles that if the Russian strategy of the Napo leonic era had been followed further, even to the extent of the surrender of Warsaw, the invaders never would have remained in their own country with intact fighting organizations. Others feel that political motives quite justified the government in its determination to defend Warsaw. Contrary to practice, infantry and not artillery has been the dominant force' used- By--the- Russians alopg their western battle tfont . in push ing the invaders back across the border. Showing disregard of the German batteries, superior forces of the Russian infantry time after time have advanced and won positions by the use of steel. From Moscow comes a report that during the fight ing near Aerodz, on the river Warthe the Russians captured General Von Makenge, commander of the seven teenth German army corps together with members of his staff. It is re ported also that General Von Lie bert, who was in command at Lodz when the Germans occupied that city, also has been captured by the Rus sians. There are reports that the Aus train army is abandoning entirely its positions in western Galicia and will winter at the foot of the Car pathians, renewing the war from that base in the spring. But the stubborn defense of Przemysl and the evident determination to defend Cracow hardly confirm this report. Belgian and Holland continue ' to insist that the Germans are with drawing many of their troops from their western battle front, but the official communications from the head quarters of . the allies does not indi cate any lessening in the force of the German attack which is proceeding with its usual fury. The food situa tion in Belgium is daily becoming more critical. Even Antwerp'which is the best supplied of the Belgian pities, is clamoring for the provisions brought into the country by the American commission. ' War s ' SESSION OF PARLIA.

IE BE THE WHITE FLAG EXPLAINED INDICATE THAT COTTAGE PRAY. ER MEETING IS TO BE HELD THERE. Doubles many of the uninterested have wondered what was the signifi cance of the white flag seen on the lawn1 of so many of the New Bern homes during the week. A pedestrian in walk ing the -streets will not go very far in either 'section of" the city without noticing one of these white flags flying and it is nothing unusual to hear the question saked; what do so many white flags indicate?, and if the question is heard by one who is familiar with the doing of the week, he will readily an swer; These flags indicate that there will be held a cottage prayer meeting where that flag stands. Fifty 6r seventy-five of these meetings will have been held by the end of the week In which the whole town will have been touched. These meetings are preparatory to the' city-wide revival campaign that begins next Sunday at the Tabernacle Baptist church, in which the entire Christian element, regardless of denomination, is invited to take part It is expected that this will be one of the most far-reaching ' religious' cam paign that New Bern ha ever wit nessed and this presumption is based upon the preparation that has been and it being made, and upon the baility of the evangelist that are coming) te conduct the meeting. : ,v ; . ' ) s : The cottage prayer,-meetings will end with tomorrow night. There will be meetings tonight and tomorrow night in each home where the white flag is seen and every body is invited . - . . i.i sit. .

The report of leaf tobacco sales of the North Carolina markets issued by the State Department of Agriculture shows, 62,901,880 pounds sold during October compared with 58,752,605 pounds for the same month last year. Out of the forty eight markets report ed Kinston lead with 8,325,691 pounds, and Greenville second with 6,723,979. Although this is the first season for the local market 654,388 pounds was sold in New Bern during the month of October, which is considered very good sales, and is considerable more than was sold on a number of markets which have been established for several years. IN FIERCE FISHT ONE OF THE FORMER RECEIVED FORTY-SEVEN SHOT IN HIS BACK. Several days ago United States De- puty Collector I. M. Tull and Deputy Marshal C. H. Ange located a still near the Craven and Carteret county line a short distance from Adams Creek. Preparations were made for the raid, and Tuesday nJght, accom panied by a Deputy Collector from Washington they went to Morehead City expecting to raid the plant that night, but when they arrived at that place they learned that a deputy sheriff had also located the still, and with four other men had made the raid the night before. The deputy sheriff located the plant, which was on the Carteret county side of line, and deputized four other men to go with him. The trip was made in a boat to within a mile of the place, there it was anchored, and the men made the rest of the trip on foot. When they reached the scene there was no one there, but the.y found sev' eral hundred of still beer, which was about ready to be run off. But the moonshiners were on the job. While the men had gone to the still, they got their boat and carried it off, and white three of the party went off for another boat, two were left to capture the block aders when they went td the plant, but when they went there were three of them, and a battle ensued, in which one of the officers received forty-seven shot in his back, and the other was knocked down and in the tussle lost his revolver, but got one belonging to one of the moonshiners. The three men proved too much for the officer and they took to the woods leaving plant, beer, and men behind. NEW BERNIAN ; VISITING AT ' KINSTON, , ; Kinston, Nov. 1 1.

Annette Kellermann as "Neptune's Daughter", dives, swims, dances and fences and does some remarkable act ing . As the principal figure in this romantic drama of land and sea, of the realms of the immortal King Neptune and the mortal King William, Miss Kellermann is ever on the screen.

IN MEMORIAM. n Loving Kememorance oi Mr. A. D. Fisher of Riverdale, who Died at His Home Nov. 6, 1914, Aged 58 years, 7 Months and 1 day. Every heart in our community was saddened Friday afternoon when it was learned that the angel of death had taken away one of our best known citizens, Mr. A. D. Fisher. He had been confined to his bed for several weeks with some terrible di sease, unknown to the writer. His sufferings were great, but he bore them well. As the days went by he gradually became weaker. Finally his condition became alarming, but the thought of death did not frighten him All medical aid was rendered that was possible, but it all was of no avail, for the Almighty thought it best to take him from this world of trials and troubles to one where there is no pain or sorrow. On Saturday afternoon his body was laid to rest in the family burying ground near his home at Riverdale. He leaves a devoted wife, four child ren, one sister and one brother and many other relatives and tnends to mourn his death. Weep not dear loved ones lor we know that our loss is heaven's gain. "Dearest loved one, we have laid thee, In the peaceful grave's embrace. I But thy memory will be cheerished. Till we see thy Heavenly face. Death our dearest ties can sever, Take our loved one from our side, Bear them to their homes forever. O'er the dark cold river tide. In that happy land we will meet him, With those loved and gone before. And again with joy we"H greet him, There where parting is no more." "A FRIEND" OYSTER ROTST ENJOYED.
