Privates and non-commislsoned men in the army will have no opportunity of reaching the commissioned ranks by competi tive examinations in the immediate future because of the lack of vacan cies in the grade of second lieuten ant. Consequently, there will be no chance whatever for civilians to se cure commissions in the regular army, as the enlisted personnel has the first claim on any vacancies that may ex ist after the graduating class at West Point has been taken care of. Notice of this situation has been conveyed by the war department to various army departments. The only opportunity for private soldiers and civilians to obtain com missions, therefore, probably will be afforded by legislation at the ap proaching session of congress on the increase of military establishment, in accordance with suggestion of Presi dent Wilson and Secretary Garrison.

The State Supreme Court has de cided that the general state prohibi tion act, and not the special act of any county, regulates the sale of wine; that in the enactment of the state prohibition law the legislature evidently intended that all acts upon this subject be brought into one har monious body of laws so that they could be enforced together and with out conflict: and in the case of wines there should be no sales by makers of wines in less quantities than two and one-half gallons to an individual. The ruling was in the case of the State vs. J. H. Johnson, from Cumber land county, in which the defendant Is under conviction and sentence for selling one gallon .of wine to Charles Perry. His plea was that he eold two pallons and the parties, of whom Per- j ry was one, ddvided after purchase; I that the Cumberland act in effect prior j to the state prohibition act allowed twrvrallon sales and that this act was not repealed by the state prohibition law.

New York, Nov. 8. Four Investiga tions were begun today in an effort to fix the responsibility for the death of twelve persons, mostly young girls, who perished in the fire which de stroyed a four-story factory in Brook lyn last Saturday. District Attorney Cropsey, of Brook lyn, announced that he would conduct a preliminary inquiry today prepara tory to a public inquest to be held be fore Coroner Widener tomorrow. The district attorney has invited all per sons having knowledge of the fire to testify and has subpoenaed all state and city officials who had Jurisdiction over the burned building and all the survivors. New York, Nov. 8. Thirteen men and girls lost their lives Saturday in a fire that destroyed an old four-story brick and wooden factory building in the Williamsburg section of Brook lyn. A search of the ruins is expect ed to- uncover the bodies of 13 other victims, eight of them girls, who were reported as missing. Of the forty in jured In hospitals many were expect ed to die. A score or more were less seriously burned and bruised. The building was occupied by a candy manufacturing concern and three clothing manufacturers whose employes normally totalled 300. More than a third had been dismissed be fore the fire started, for a Saturday half-holiday. The flames were discovered shortly before 2 o'clock by a girl employe of the candy factory which occupied the ground floor of the basement, and were soon roaring up the elevator haft around which wound the prln ipal stairway. ! There , was one other stairway In the rear of the building and some of the entrapped persons escaped by that but before the, firemen arrived men and women were leaping from the windows. The flames had swiftly mushroomed from the elevator shaft into the fourth floor and scarcely had the first streams of water entered the building when the roof collapsed. The other floors soon afterward -fell, one by one. . .

O.-More than half of Serbia U now in possession of the Invaders, who also have taken the greater part of (he country's railroad system. The new Junction effected be tween the Austro-Gormans and the Bul garians today complines the seml-clP cular Wall of hostile armies about the retreating SerbiAns. Several days ago the Austriana, who invaded Serbia from Bosnia, Joined forces with their comrades who ad vanced from the north. The line now runs from the western border, near Vlfcapgrad .eastward along the railway to A'arvarin, thence southward to Us knp. The Bulgaritlis, however, have advansed considerably to the west ct the Nish-Saloniki railway and are said to be threatening fjPrlstina. The whole movement represents a gradual closing in on the Serbians from the north, east and south In the formation so oftea employed by the Teutons. . ''' It ie said In Berlin that the Serbians have an open line of less than 70 miles for retreat into wjontenegro. Should they seek refuge in that country, they would be menaced, by Austrian forces which already have begun an attack along the northern and western Mon tenegrin frontiers. With the exception of Belgrade, Nlsh Is the largest city in t'arbia. Soon af ter the outbreak of the war, the capi tal was transferred to Nlsh, where the govermenit remained until the city was threatened by the invaders. In the lost month, various towns have been maintained as temporary seats of government. - WHITE MAN KILLED BY TRAIN AT THOMASVILLE Thomasvllle, Nov. 6. Men going to work yesterday morning discovered the fragments of the body of a white man' scattered along the Southern railroad from the passenger station to the Elliott crossing, a distance of more than 100 yards. One arm and a leg were gone and his head was mash ed. .The only marks by which identi fication could possibly be made were his light blue eyes, (Andy hair and sound teeth. V ; - ; There Is quite a bit of specula tion as to how he met death. His shoes were found lying directly in front of the passenger Btation. It ls thought that he was probably an em ploye of the Ha genbeck-Wallace cir cus that passed thru during the night, going from Lexington to High Point and that he decided to get off at Thomasvllle, pitching his shoes first, and was caught under the train when he Jumped. The only articlos found on his person was a cake of soap wrapped in paper and an empty pock-etbook.- The circus people were com municated with but as yet no one has been discovered to be missing from the crew.

The con tests have been extremely bitter in the niga and Pvltisk regions, at Blenl kofce and on the Strlpa river. The German campaign for Rlira and Dvlnsk is particularly important, for the Germans have centered their chle. forces on this front In order to captu-v the two cities before winter. For more than two months Field Marshal von Hlndenburg's men have fought hard to advance. The Russians, reinforced with men and munitions, hav battled as valiantly to prevent the foe from reaching; Its objective, so rar mey hvae been succeiful. Hoth Vienna and Herlln continue to speak of Russian advances, and al tho claiming; the repulses for the ene my at many points during the week, say little of successful Germanic ad vances.

Henderson, of Salis bury, and the resident representative of tho Aluminum Company of Ameri ca, with headquarters at Pittsburgh, Fa., ''which recently purchased the large holdings of the Southern Alum inum Company at Badln and Whit ney, In Stanly county, wore in the city Friday. Col. Henderson, when qnes tloned regarding the big deal, repllod that It had been made and that active operations at the immense plant would, soon be resumed. Col. Hender son, who ls attomey for the company, was here with the representative look ing after some business matters con nected with the tig enterprise. The amount involved in the sale of the lladin and Whitney property, it is said, approximates $10,000,000. , Tho r.egotiations were concluded at a con ference participated In by officials of the French Syndicate and the Alum inum Company of America at the Kits Carlton Hotel In Now York, October 23, and definite information la just transpiring. Work will move rapidly and the original plans of the promoters will be carried out with, very slight modifications. This announcement ant! the infor mation that work will be resumed within a short time Is the 'most im portant that has been made in a long time to the business and commercial Interest of that section. Tha pur chasing company ls a monster cor poratlon with big plants at Massena, N. Y., Pittsburgh, and various other places thruout the country. " The work at Bad In and Whitney was first begun when the French Syndicate acquired ttfo holdings of the original Whitney Company. The original plans were changed and a new development mapped out; the power sate re-located nearer the Narrows of the Yadkin riv er; end a great aluminum plant pro posed for lladin, the new town to be built. The money for the original company was provided by French bankers, and was moving splendidly when the European war came on. : A sninndtd little city had been almost fliiiluhed; immense buildings to house- the aluminum, works ol steel, concrete, and tho very best material were bear Ing completion; and the great hydro electric developments wnera iuo,ouv electrical horse-power was to be gen erated, was being . vigorously prose cuted. But the war stopped every thing. Thru conferences arrange ments were made for the holding In suspension the- work, which has been ended by the recent aale to other. What were the arrangement for the payment of the 10,000.000 due the ironch holders is not known,' and is unimportant. The important .matters are that the property ,! now really American, being held by Americans; immense work that had been suspend ed for more than a year will ba pushed i sniiiiv to commetion: and Badln and Whitney will be immensely benefitted, togother with tne wnoia state. DINKINS HELD IN $500 ' BOND FOR HIGHER COURT Dan Dlnkins, from Yadkin county, who was arrested at a blockade dis tillery in the western part of coun ty last week, was tried last : Friday before Col.

ITAPPE ARS NOTE OFU.S. DN UAL TRADE Document Submitted' to Great - Britain Covers Subject in Exhaustive Manner. , Wftshington, Nov. o.Tho United States, bi its latest note to Great Brit ain, covering exhaustively British in terference with American trade since tha beginning of the European war, declares that tha so-called blockade instituted by the allies against enemy countries on March 11 aa "ineffective and indefensible." Notice Is served that the American government can not submit to the curtailment of Us neutral rights," end R cannot , "with complacence suffer further subordina tion of its rights and intereata,'' : , Ambassador Page, to whom the note was sent by special messenger for de livery to the London Foreign Office, was Instructed by Secretary Lansing ''to impress moat earnestly" upon the British government that the United Ktates "must insist that tha relations between it and His Majesty's Govern ment be governed, not by a policy of expediency but by. those established rules of international conduct to which Great Britain in the past has held the United States to account when the latter nation was a belligerent engaged In a struggle for national existence." Declaring the United States "mines, ttallngly assumes" the risk of cham pioning the integrity of neutral rights, the note proclaims that the, American rcovernment will devote its energies to the task, exorcising always an impar tial attitude. . : -,., x.::..t. The, note, nearly 18,000 words In length, was .made public by an agree ment botween tha State Department and the British Foreign Office, . It car rles with it a voluminous appendix, giWng the text f American naval in structions issued in 1862 and a sum mary and table showing hundreds of vessels detained by British authorities since the beginning of the present war. The body of the note Is divided into thirty-five points, dealing with all phases of .the contraband quostloa snlr.ures and detentions, prior to, as well as after, the so-called blockade was instituted, and announces that a separate communication will ba sent soon dealing particularly . with ' the "propriety and right of the British gov ernment to inctude in their list of con traband certain articles which h&vi been so Included." , ' . In, conclusion, after an argument on the law and facte, Secretary Lansing says: -. ., h.v---. - "I believe It has been conoluatveiy shown that methods sought to be em ployed toy Great Britain to obtain and use evidence of enemy destination of cargoes bound for neutral porta and to impose a contraband character upon such cargoes are without Justification: that the blockade, upon which such methods are partly founded, is ineffect ive, illegal, and Indefensible; that the judicial procedure offered as a means of reparation for an International In jury is Inherently defective for the purpose; and that in many cases ju risdlctlon is asserted in violation of the law of nations. . The United Stales, therefore, cannot submit to the curtailment of Its neutral rights by these measures, which are admit tedly retaliatory, and therefor Illegal. In conception and In nature, and In tended to punish the enemies of Great Britain for alleged irregularities on their part. The United Elates might not be in position to object to them if its interests and the interests of an neutrals were unaffected by them, but, being affected, it cannot with complac ence suffer further subordination of Its rights and Interests to the plea that the exceptional geographic position of the enemies of Great Britain require or justify oppressive and illegal prac tices. The government of the United States desires, therefore, to impress most earnestly upon His Majesty's Government that it must Insist that the, relations between it and His Mi- lesty's Government be governed, not by a policy ' of expediency, ; but by those established rules of international conduct upon wblcfh Great Britain in the past haa held the Uutted States to account when the latter nation was a belligerent engaged In a struggle for national existence. It is of the tugn est Importance to neutrals not only of the present day but of the future tnat the the principles of international rlarht be maintained unimpaired. "Thia task of ciuunpknwf ine in tegrity of neutral rights, which have received tha sanction of the oivlllzed world atnat the lawless conduct of belligerents arising out of the bitter nesa of the great conflict wnicn is now wasting the countries of Europe, tho United States unhesitatingly assumes. and to accomplish that task will de vote its energies, exercising always that impartiality wWch from the out break of the war It has sought to ex Milan, Italy, (By way of Paris), Nov, 8.
