Germany's total 'mobilization . is given as 13,250,000, of which 8.000, 000 still were engaged at the end of th6 fighting. At tho heighth of its expansion, at the beginning of the western offensive March -31, 1918, these figures statethe German army totalled 3,500,000 fhlisted personnel and 140,000 officers on the western front, besides 160,000 enlisted men and 3,000 offlcers'in .recruit depots.

PLANNED BY THE 1L Murphy of Salisbury, president of the alumni association, better known to University men throughout the state as "Pete" Murphy, has accepted the invitation to deliver the address at the celebration here on University Pay, Thursday, October 13. The oc casion is to be a grand get-together of alumni. The Carolina-Trinity foot ball game, to take place on Emerson Field that afternoon, will undoubted ly help swell the attendance. A feature of the morning exercises is expected to be a detailed statement from President Chase about the pro gram for University expansion dur ing the coming two years. There has been considerable speculation as to just what would come next, among the many improvements urgently in need of. It is generally agreed that a woman's building is almost certain to be included in the next layout. It is not yet known just how, in the judgment of the authorities, a geol ogy building, a chemistry building, and more dormitories rank in point of necessity. Extraordinary efforts are now in progress to organize the alumni of the University effectively. Daniel L. Grant, of the class of 1921, has been made all-time alumni secretary with headquarters in Chapel Hill, and he has called a meeting Of all class sec retaries for October 12. Women are now represented on the board of directors of the alumni association. One of the main jobs now is to find out where many of the alumni are. There are thought to be about 11,000 of them living. They are scat tered all over the world, and about half, of them are put down as miss ing. That is, their present addresses are not known. Through his own di rect inquiries, and through the co operation of the class secretaries, Mr. Grand hopes to run down the lost addresses. NEW CUSTOMS REGULATIONS .

PROCLAMATION 81 iG. Despite the fact that the state waged an intensive prevention cam paign last year, 166 people lost their lives, and $7,500,000 in property was destroyed by fire, the governor points out in calling upon the people to use more caution against fires to make North Carolina safe for life and pro perty' v .. ' State Insurance Commissioner S. W. Wade is planning an' intensive campaign of fire prevention. In the fire marshal's department he has a corps of six trained teachers who spend their time in the schools of the state preaching -fire prevention and jour expert engineers and inspectors who are" always at the service of the public. . "We cannot make poverty a crime while we regard extravagance as a virtue, peithpr can we shut our eyes to carelessness and waste andthereby postpone the day of financial exhaus tion. ' V' "Living in a land pt plenty, we are apt to console ourselves with the delusive thought Ahat .what we. losol T , . ...Ui. ...1 we can replace; now auoui wn v destroy? That which is lost may be recovered, that which is destroyed by fire is beyond restoration. Fire meansi destruction, not loss. How improp-, erly, therefore, do we continue to refer to our annual toll of burned property as "Property Fire Loss." It is destruction; deplorable because preventable, criminal because mur-( derous. '''' . i "North Carolina waged a more in tensive campaign in the cause of fire prevention during the past year than in any like period of its history, yet 166 persons lost their lives in burn ing buildings, while property de struction reached the unprecedented sum of $7,500,000. We are becoming more thoughtless, more careless, and more wasteful, or must we admit we are becoming a state of incendiar ists? Let each community determine the cause and meet the problem with a determination to apprehend crimi nal, reform careless and eliminate the enormous and unnecessary fire waste. . ' . . s "Now, therefore, I, Cameron Mor rison, governor of North Carolina, in. order to emphasize our derelic tion and our immediate danger and to arouse in our people a more ac tive interest in Fire Prevention, do hereby set aside and designate Mon day, the 9th day of October,: 1922, the fifty-first anniversary of the big Chicago fire, Fire Prevention Day, and urge our citizens to observe it in such a way as to visualize and pre vent the irreparable loss we annually sustain through individual neglect 'The accumulation of rubbish, waste, and other combustible mate rial should be made a crime as well as a reproach. "Local authorities are urge-I to give publicity to Fire Prevention or dinances, to inspect thoroughly all business and residential promises with the view, of eliminating condi tions whteh may cause fire. "Public and private institutions are urged to make a thorough exami nation of heating -apparatus, chim neys, and to effect such chanjss a will properly safeguard the live of occupants. 1 , n. "Cameron Morrison, "Governor." GOVERNOR OFN Y n TARBORO, N- C., FATE ALONE WILL DECIDE WINNER OF THE WORLD SERIES NEW YORK, Oot. 2. In 6ffensive strength there is, little to chose be tween the possibly contenders in the 1922 -World's Series as they appear groupad upon paper, and only with the aid of the fates that decide that some player shall hit when a hit is most needed or that another shall fail when failure is most costly can a preference be made. Of course it is by the arrangement and distribution of the batting record that a manager obtains the most pos sible out of his team, and the actual attacking value of a ball club must be bauged by what the line-up pro duces. In valuating the teams, more over, coisideration must be given to their offensive abilities in relation to their defensive character. An instance of this is an infield that may lead al;the other infields ot tlie league in flatting, yet De so poor in fielding that its rating would place it third or fourth among all the eight clubs. Tha. maximum offen sive power of an - infield, which in eludes the three basemen, shortstop, catcher and best hitting pitcher, is their average -batting strength. . On the latter basis the New York Yankees lead the Giants by one point having a total of .319 to the Nation als' .318. Considering the St. Louis club,wbich had a fighting chance to win out in the American league up to the close of the season, the Giants are still one point under the club that will represent the younger lea gue. The Browns, too, hit .319. These figures a're based on the hit- ting'trf Kelb.'TT'Ke'HU Bahcroi't, Groh, Smith, Snyder and Nehf of Giants; P'PP, Ward, Scott, Schang and Bush, Dugan, of the Yankees, and Sisler, McManus, Gerber, Foster, Severeid and Van Gilder of the Browns. In outfield strength the Giants are superior to either of- the American League clubs, a mid-season average of .335 being totalled by Meusel, Young, Cunningham and Stengel of the Giants, to .324 for Tobin, Jacob- sen and Williams of the Browns. The Yanks ere third, Witt, Ruth and Meu sel hitting .316. GRADUATING EXERCISES OF EDGECOMBE GEN.

General John W. Cotten died Sun day afternoon :;t half past five, nt his residence on Church" street, in the 78th year of his age. For the hut few months the de ceased had been confined to hia ri'Om and ever since his return from the Confederate reunion at Richmon 1 his health has beun-failing hhnr ' Almost up until the last he was conscious and his vitality during his last sickness was a marvel to his phy sicians.

SUPREM SQUARE DEAL FOR BABIES PLANNED JQHNW GOTTEN RECORD CROWDS! DEDICATE MILLION AND HALF STAOIOM COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 2. When the rival elevens of the University of Michigan and Ohio State University trot out in the field here Oct. 21 to dedicate Ohio's new $1,500,000 sta dium, indications are that a record breaking crowd of 63,000 spectators will be in the huge structure to wit ness the game and dedication cere monies. . Advance orders for tickets point to a complete sell-out of the 68,000 seats, and if this results, the attend ance will set a new record for foot ball in the middle-west. Last year the Buckeyes and Wolverines played be fore a record crowd of 42,000 in the rededieation of the enlarged Ferry Field r.t Ann Arbor. Simple but impressive ceremonies will mark the dedication of the new stadium, with color raising ceremo nies and a parade of notables com prising the pre-eame program. Gov ernors H. L. Davis of Ohio and A. J. Groesbeck of Michigan, Ohio ana Michigan men in public life, educa tors and athletes will participate in the parade around the field. Ami! strains of alma mater songs to be played by the 110-piece Ohio state band, representatives of West ern Conference of Universities, will pull 18-foot pennants presented by their respective schools, up 30-foot flag poles stop the walls of Ohio Sta dium. Michigan colors will go uo first and the scarlet and gray of Ohio State last. With thirty huge pennants of the "Big Ten" universities snapping in the ireezeabove" th'lOtr-rBttTWH- crete arid steel wall of the stadium, Miss Eleoise Fromme of Urbana, O., stadium girl during the fund-raising campaign of 1920, will hoist the na tional colors on the field flag pole while the Michigan and. Ohio State bands play "The Star, Spangled Ban ner," following which artillery pieces manned by university cadets will bark a salute of twenty-one guns. As part of the preparation for the dedication, the first attempt in his tory to reunite every Ohio State grid squad since the original eleven in 1890, is being made by former cap tains. Fach captain will head his col leagues in a parade down the new stadium field. Dedication of Ohio Stadium will add something new to the architec ture of modern stadia. In being of horseshoe shape, the Ohio plant re sembles that of Harvard, but in hay ing two decks the Ohio plan is un ique. The advantages ascribed to the double-deck feature, including bring ing of what would be rear seats much closer to the playing field and the sheltering .-'of 21,000 seats in lower decks. Nearly ten acres are covered by the Ohio Stadium, which measures one-third of a mile from end to end r.,id towers 107 feet high. Intramural facilities for 10,000 students will be provided by 100 tennis courts, 23 baseball diamonds and 11 gridirons to be laid out on the recreation area to be developed adjacent to the sta dium proper.
