General Nogi's prediction made at the siege of Port Arthur, is still fresh in the minds of Englishmen in connection with the ter rible fighting near the old Waterloo field ,- General. Nogi said "I believe that the world will witness a great war which will have all Europe for its battle groungd and will settle the Franco-Russian question and the Anglo-German, 'rivalry. France and Ger many will , meet in this last decisive conflict on the Belgians plains, probably near;, Waterloo, the only spot which will permit of the evolution of , the great armies which will face each other.

BUT HE The arresst of Wallace Boughton, a white lad seventeen years of age, this week at his home is Pasquotank county by United States Postcfficc Inspector Kahn, who In well known herr, on a charge of using the United States malls to defraud, is a case which shows to what unllmltable ends and greeat cost the postoffice officials wiill go to run down offenders against that partic ular department. During the month of December, 1913, the firm of Bruce Harris and Company of Norfolk, Va., mailed a check for 67, 79 to H. J. Brick house, a resident of Columbia, N. C. Through a mistake of the sender the check was made payable to H. J. Bru tham. At the particular time that the check reached Its destination young Roughton, who is a nephew of Mr. Brichkouse, was in Columbia and it is claimed that he intercepted the check forged the endorsement and sent it to the Citizens Bank of Elizabeth City, asking the bank to send him the cur rency by registered letter. ' This the bank did and it is alleged that the voy went to the postoffice and represent ed to the young lady in chatrge at that time that he was the address. The for- gery was soon discovered and at that time there seemed to be I but little chance that the perpetrater .of the act would be ever apprehended. J However, the offense was one which the deppartment did not like and In spector Kahn was assigned to the case and told to stay on it until the guilty party had been located and brought to justice. With only the faintest clue to work upon the inspector got on the trail and for nearly ten months he has hunted for the orfenfder. The search was brought to an end Wednes day and young Rougham was placed under arrest, taken before the United States Commissioner and given a pre liminary hearing which resulted in his detention wuntil the next term of Fed eral Court to be held in Elizabeth City at wheih time he will be tried by Judge H.
