C; Nov. 26, 1915. Raleigh overflowing with the cream of its professional citizenship, the North Carolina Teachers' Assembly, celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday in large and varied manner and offered new argument for making the city the teachers' permanent home. The assembly sat in a body in the great auditorium which was convert ed, into the sanctuary.. Bishop Thomas C. Darst, of Wilmington, preached the convention sermon. He was not muItitudinous caUBes. foF; thanksgivin g to name WoodrowvWifel n.z ?ii - $ i.ii jfrom. First Thessalonians, fifth chap- ter and the eighteenth verse: "In ev erything give thanks." He began at an hour when the call of dinner was loud. Preliminaries in music and in the making of announcements defer red the sermon to 1 o'clock, but he lost only the musicians who volun teered to make the program today one of the assembly's features. The Peace and Meredith singers with an orchestra led by that wonderful Bel gian, Miss Ruegger, gave the audito rium the touch of another world. Bishop Darst spoke less than thirty minutes. In that half hour he had time to preach a finished sermon of thanksgiving which revered the cus tom of the fathers in the making and complimented the wisdom of the sons in its preservation. Abundant har vests he found, manufactories busy, trade and commerce brisk, the over worked many but the unemployed rel atively few Prosperity in fields, in shops and factories, in mines and on the high seas, in these all he found cause for gratefulness because they make for education, for religion and for civilization. He saw the other side of the pic ture, the shattered idols, the wasted areas, the "cruel and unnatural war and the dreams that have not come Irue." "But if you could only see God's purposes you would be thank ful," he said faithful to the exhorta tion. "In everything give thanks. ; Great things' have come to the na tion, war has spared our children, men and women are exalting right eousness, the poor are taught and lit tle children are blessed with oppor tunity that never came to many be fore them. "We can thank God for that Chris- les or tms nauon auu iui i""s up a Joshua who has led this nation to peace with honor." For those whose sons have been lost in the maelstrom of war the nation, he declared, has a tender sympathy and a dream of a Peac soon to come.

One man alone, John J. Tumey, of Philadel phia, provided and chartered for the Hamburg-American Line early in the war six of the sixteen vessels which the government charges the line with having sent to the relief of German cruisers in the Atlantic :- and Pacific. (IF MAN TO IMAY BE IRD IO THE MEDIUM IN SENDING OUT SIX j AT BiejjPENSP This development in the trial on i ter was used in an article entitled "The conspiracy charges of officials of the j Roman Hierachy, The Dealiest Me line came from the witness stand to-Jnace to Our. Civilization" and in an day and from the lips of Mr. Turley, a slightly hostile witness. The correspondence of the defen dant at an early date shows he spent $545,000 for chartering alone in the case of these six vessels. The total cost in supplies was $689,693. The steamers which Mr. Turley chartered to August 6th, 1914, were the LaGua'ya and Nepos, sailing from Philadelphia August 22nd for Mon rovia; the Mowinckle, sailing Septem ber 2nd for Monrovia; the Unita, sail ing September 8th for Cadiv, and the Fram and Sommerstadt, which took out clearance papers but did not sail I -when the plans became known. The Fram took out clearance papers for Pernambuco and the Sommerstadt for Cadiv. sMr. Tm4ey testified apparently with great reluctance that Adolph "Hock meister and George Kotter, purchas ing agent and general superintendent of the line, gave him all the informa tion upon which he acted in clearing the vessels and told him their alleged destination. All vessels were cleared by the witness, who sent clerks to the . customs house to swear to the mam- j fests. "Did you know that these destina tions were false?" the government's counsel asked. "I did not.." "Did. you know these vessels were 'their plans for the work, which will trying to reach German cruisers jnjbe completed in 1917.

'Watson was in- dieted on similar charges in 1912 and in the fall of 1913 the indictment was quashed on the ground that it should have contained the entire article ob jected to and not merely excerpts from it. At the next session of the grand jury Watson was reindicted, the charges being made in what was re garded as more specific form, but not containing the language objected to, the indictment stating it was improper that such be spread on the minutes of the court. Four counts of the present indict- ! ment alleged that objectionable mat- article entitled "Another Maria Monk Case Comes to Light." v When he previously faced the court Watson declared the alleged obscene matter was merely quotations from books on the Roman Catholic religion.

German air AIR STKATEfiT IS CHANGED strategy has changed since last May,jtral conference to .attempt to end the when, for a period of some months, few German aeroplanes appeared near the allied lines on the western front. But the latest reports from Sir John French show that more than 200 air battles have . been fought re cently with the British aviators, by whom sixteen German aeroplanes were brought down. These included several new types, besides the famil iar Taube. The- new types the Germans have been experimenting with are modeled on the battleplane idea. One of these was a big heavily armed biplane with twin bodies and two or three engines. But it did not seem to be entirely successful, as it was rather slow and unwieldly. Next to appear were two very similar biplanes of the ordinary tractor type with single but very pow erful engines. The two used to chase up and down the German lines at aj terrific speed and with an unusual amount of noise, apparently to fright en away British airmen. Apparently they impressed the Germans as use ful, as more of the same type made their appearance. Machine guns fore and aft, the range , of the first limited by the propeller and the after gun having a clear field in v an upward direction, gave them a certain formi dableness as scouts. Several of these were brought down by both British and French, but their numbers have nevertheless continued to Increase oi iate. They keep largely to their own junea which seems to be the German plan of air strategy. The German plan is obviously to destroy the greatest number of ene my aeroplanes with a minimum loss to themseiVes. They do this by en ticing the foe over their own, lines.
