Dispatches from Copenhagen today
ciny unconfirmed reports of the
crerthrow of the bolshevik govern
ment at Moscow. The reports, which
sre received "with caution" in Lon
don because of their origin in German
icurces, state that Keneralsl Korni

orces which took Moscow. They add
iat Grand Duke Nicholas, cousin of
le former emperor, and command er

been proclaimed emperor.
A lack of confidence is noted in the

Lectures Today
By W. M. GILMORE.
Wrightsville Beach, June 28. The
Baptist Seaside assembly, which
opened last night in the Harbor Island
auditorium for a week's session, was
filled with big features this morning.
The teachers of the various depart
ments of the training school-were all
present and began their courses un
der most encouraging prospects, their
classes being well attended.
The morning session reached its cul
mination in the address of Dr. W. J.
McGlothlin, teacher of church history
in the Southern Baptist Theological
seminary of Louisville, Ky., who be
gan his series of five lectures on the
Gospel of John, which will be deliv
ered each day at 12 o'clock.
Dr McGlothlin is not only a ripe
scholar but he is also very popular
lecturer, his style being characterized
by simplicity and human interest. This
is the third season Dr. McGlothlin has
been on the assembly program, hav
ing missed only one season since the
assembly was launched. His ad
dress this morning was in the nature
of introduction to the fourth Gospel,
taking up the character of the apostle
of love, showing that he wrote his
Gospel at the close of his mature and
eventful career at the end of the first
century in the city of phesus. It was
the result of his reflection and expe
rience and is the most spiritual Gos
pel. This Gospel is more theological
and more deeply vital than any of the
others, and therefore requires more
thought to master it.
The music, under the direction of
Prof E. L. Wolslagle, of Asheville, is
a most inspiring feature of the as
sembly, much time being devoted to
that feature. Mr. Wolslagle is one of
the most noted Gospel singers in
America. He is ably assisted in his
work here by his gifted wife, who
was connected with the music depart
ment at Meredith college before -her
marriage. Mr. Wolslagle sang this
morning with wonderful effect the
song, "He Cares," written by Evan
gelist L. B. Bridges, Qn the occasion
of his wife and children having been
burned some time ago while he was

Hoped For, and Success -Depends
Upon Today
Washington, June 28. The inten
sive nation-wide campaign for the pur
chase of war savings and thrift stamps
closed today with the observance of
national thrift day, set aside by Presi
dent Wilson for the final drive.
"Every true patriot" was called up
on by Secretary McAdoo to join "the
army of war savers before the day
closes."
In practically all states the day was
observed, governors having proclaimed
it aspecial occasion to impress upon
the people the virtues of thrift.
In many cities parades and patriotic
celebrations were held. In nearly
every community workers made a spe
cial effort to further the sale of war
savings and thrift stamps.
The American people during the
past two weeks have signed pledges
for the purchase of more than half a
billion dollars worth of stamps. Offi
cials believe the final canvass today
will cause the amount to be doubled.
Reports received at war savings head
quarters here showed that the hotel
sales of stamps have thus far amount
ed to about $300,000,000, which is less
than had ben hoped for and the suc
cess of the campaign depends on ef
forts put forth today, it was said.
A special appeal for the purchase
of stamps today was made by Secre
tary McAdoo in the following state
ment: "This is the closing day In the war
savings pledge campaign. I earnestly
hope that every American will have
joined the -army of war savers before
the day closes. The fighting power
of the nation will be strengthened
more by saving than by any other
thing and it is the one universal thing
that every patriot can do. Money
thus saved means labor and materials
saved and transmitted into irresistible
and victorious force against the ene
mies of America and the world. Let
every true patriot sign the war sav
ings pledge today."

Austrians reeling fromyihe shock of
the repulse of the Piave Seemingly are
content to allow the Italians to have
the initiative. It is two weeks since
the German crown prince ceased his
ineffectual efforts to reach Compiegne
and the breathing space, which has
been louger - than between the offen
sive across the Aisrie and that on the
Noyon-Montdidier front, has been suf
ficient to permit the Germans to pre
pare fully for a renewal of the offen

blow very soon. Military observers
believe it will come on the front be

For the past few days the German
artillery fire has been violent on sev

selected for an attack. These sectors
are south of Arras, the northern and

Caused by Rumor That Gov
ernment Will Not Declare
It Non-Essential
Washington, June 28. Rapid ad
vances in the price of rosin and tur
pentine and general disturbance in
the trade has been caused by a rumor
that the government would declare
their production non-essential indus
try, the war industries "board an
nounced today in declaring that no
such danger existed.
A large proportion of the rosin and
turpentine produced is needed for war
requirements, the board : said. The
only ground for the rumor, according
to the statement, was the calling of
the meeting at New Orleans on June
10 by Cliff miliams, labor commis
sioner for Mississippi, Alabama, JLouis-
iana, Georgia and Florida, at which
possibilities of releasing surplus labor
from the rosin and turpentine plants
was discussed, but the war industries
board declared Jtoday that no steps
would be taken to hamper production
of the needed supply of the commodi
ties mentioned.

Aerial activity is above the average.
The Germans have raided Paris two
nights in succession. No great damage

Unsettled conditions In Austria
Hungary may keep the Austrians from

Italy. The food situation continues so
serious that reports from Switzerland
says a martial law may be proclaimed
throughout the dual monarchy.
Reports from Berlin through neutral

Londotf, June 8. That the Bolshe
vik in Siberia are weak and could be
overthrown easily but for the support
of armed prisoners released by them,
is the contention of the Harbin cor
respondent of The Daily Mall. In a
long dispatch dated June 23, he says
that of 20,000 prisoners fighting on the
side of the Bolsheviki in trans-Bai
kalia, 4,000 are Magyars, who are the
chief source of Bolshevik strenkth.
Two or three allied divisions, says
the correspondent, could put down all
opposition in Siberia. He adds:
"The weakness of the Bolshevik
mav be imaerinfid from the fact that a

"Bolshevism is a living corpse. Al
lied., intervention is necessary not only
to save the Russians from the Ger
mans but to save the Russians them
selves.". The correspondent then gives in
formation concerning conditions in
leading Siberian towns. He says that
there are 40,000 unarmed Austrian
prisoners at Omsk, where a German
consul has just arrived. The consul
has received 250,000 rubles from the
local Bolshevik government as an in
demnity for the liquidation or German
business, while representatives of
British and American firms - are being
mulcted heavily under threat of im
prisonment.
The American consul at Irustk re
ports that the town is pock-marked
with bullet and shell holes : and that
the Bolshevik and Czechs are fighting
there. No business is being trans

also has ceased at Krasnoiarsk.

Eight furnaces at a big steel works in

Action of Bar Association Yes-

Conversation Among
the Lawyers
By PARKER R. ANDERSON.
Wrightsville Beach, June 28 Audrey
L. Brooks, of Greensboro, will oppose
Senator Lee S. Overman, of Salisbury,
in the primaries of 1920, provided the
great world-wide war now raging in
Europe is over by that time. The Dis
patch has been given this information
from an unquestionable authority.
This, and the fight over the resolution
regarding an additional federal judge
for the western district of North Caro
lina, were the important developments
at the state bar association convention
which adjourned here yesterday.
The friends of the Greensboro at
torney are not unmindul of the fact
that they have a big job on their
hands to defeat Senator Overman, who
at the present time is certainly one of
the most popular men in the United
States senate and in addition has the
ear of President Wilson and can gain
entre to the white house either by the
front, back or the side entrance. But
many lawyers at the convention are
figuring that two years hence the pres
ent democratic and republican machin
ery, indeed if there is such a thing to
day, will be shattered so badly that
even that delightful gentleman and
astute politician, Col. "Aus" Watts, of
Statesville; will not be able to recog
nize his own pet' child, born in the
early days of the making of the great
est political machine the Old North
State has ever known.
There were few thinking lawyers at
the convention who do not believe that
the political alliances of the whole
country will be changed after the war,
and it is not going too far to say that
many of the "outs" are figuring on rid
ing in when the new trend of thought
Is put into actual operation. It is
these things that the friends of Brooks
are figuring on to bring victory to
their candidate. They are confident
Brooks is a man who would handle the
situation which it is believed will be
developed by the time the campaign
starts.
Mr. Brooks, it was, learned, is mak
ing a quiet but effective campaign.
But, as stated above, always remind
ing his friends that he will not be a
candidate unless the war shall have
ended by that time. He does not be
lieve any member of congress 01
United States senator should be op
posed during the war. He believes
every effort should be directed at win
ning the war and that those now In
the house and senate can better tak
care of the situation than new blood.
Indeed,- one Is forced to get theJnv
pression that many of Brooks' friends
agree with Governor Bickett's sugges
tion that there be a campaignlesi
year in 1918 and the Brooks people
here seem to go the governor one bet
.ter and make it "campaignless years"
until the allied troops havef crushed
the central powers and Kaiser Bill is
a prisoner, content to spend the re
mainder of his days in Siberia or some
other isolated place.
In other words, all the political talk
one could hear at the convention was
based on the termination of the war.
When this time comes many of the
present members of congress are go
ing to have to fight for their very po
litical existence, not only in their own
democratic primaries, but they are cer
tain to have unmistakable opposition
by the republicans in the regular
elections.
There seems to be a feeling that J.
Crawford Biggs, of Raleigh, who
stands pretty high with the Washing
ton gpvernment, has his eyes towards
Washington. Whether Judge Biggs In
tends to wait until Senator Simmons'
term expires seven years hence, or
take a try at the house against Rep
resentative Pou In 1920, is not yet
clear: Judge Biggs has just finished
the work started by the late Edwin J.
Justice, of Greensboro, as special as
sistant attorney general, and, accord'
ing to reports, made an enviable rec
ord. The hornet's nest which was stirred
up over the resolution to investigate
and furnish congress with the data as
to whether Judge Boyd, of Greensboro,
needs an assistant, or additional judge,
appears to have been directed more at
congress than at Judge Boyd. Many
lawyers would like to see legislation
providing " for an additional judge far
the western district of North Caro
lina, were they assured that some live,
wide awake lawyer not now holding a
