You bear it everywhere and the offi cers are talking it just as strongly as the 'enlisted men. Several efforts have been made to run down the ru mors but none get very close to hieh authority. They were telling that an I pUmented by the General down when moving orders came. Something of the volume of her work at camp last summer may be realibed from the statement made recently by Mr. Bishop that he finished for her 75, 000 prints last summer. Mr. Bishop has found plenty of work to do so tar and is much pleased with El Paso.

Countless other stories are in circulation but there is nothing definite on which to build a hope. This much, however, is true: No move has been made to ward preparing the Tar Heel troops to Withstand the rigors of the winter that is upon them. Their tents are not floored or walled. The Second and Third regiments still lack stoves and nothing looks like going Into winter quarters except the new bath houses With their hot water tanks. If something is not done for the North Carrolina outfit soon there is going to be real suffering." Monday night the thermometer dropped to a scant 17 degrees above zero and the cold was so intense that hundreds of men never slept during the night. Con ditions such as these will cause dis satisfaction and there will be trouble. If there were need for the suffering the men would bear it cheerfully, for they have an abundance of Tar Heel grit but if Uncle Sam wants them to stay here and watch the border trough the bleak months that are com ing they would appreciate a few of the comforts of life while they are doing it. The Second regiment underwent an other rigid inspection at the hands of General Young preparatory to a sec ond inspection by the division com mander. General Young was greatly pleased with the improvement thown and expects the Second to redeem it self handsomely. The boys on the border are soon to gee the new army tractor trucks of -the caterpillar type made famous recently in the attacks on the German front. They were Introduced by the British over there and for want of a better name called "tanks." They are tre mendous steel structures mounted on tractors of seventy-five horsepower. These tractors lay their own track as they go along and nothing short of a mountain cliff seems to be able to stop them. They go straight across ordi- 1 nary trenches and never even hesitate. Barbed wire entanglements mean noth ing to this fighting monster and trees and houses are torn down if they get in the way. These tractors are expected to prove very useful in this trackless country because they do not need roads. Their average speed is four miles ah hour and they make that without roads just as well as with them. Each tractor will haul four trailers, each trailer will have a carrying capacity of 30,000 pounds, or as much as the average freight car. One of these monsters, armored sufficient to withstand small arm fire and immune to all sorts of at tacks short of heavy artillery, can car- rv a sufficient force to protect the train and more than 100,000 pound3 of cargo. One of them will do as much as 30 trucks of the ton-and-a-half type now in use in the army. Leave of absence for fifteen days was granted to Lieut. B. J. Durham, dental corps, third regiment. He left last Friday for his home at Asheville. The North Carolina cavalry left with the remainder of the provisional cavalry regiment of the Tenth Division for a fifteen day "hike.

Washington An Athens, Greece, dispatch says the German, Austro-Hungarian, Bulga rians and Turkish ministers to Greece have been informed by Vice Admiral Du Fournet, commander of the allied fleet, that they must depart from Greece. It is announced in Washington that the American legation has undertaken the protection of Austrians, Turks and Bulgars in Greece, but that the Spanish legation will take charge of German interests.
