LONDON, Oct. IS Servian boys of ten and twelve years, constituting the defense force of Nish, may be seen daily in the Servia capital marching Austrian frisoners of . war to their tasks on the public works, says the correspondent of the London Stand ard.

He, says that mqst of - the prispners' are from the Slav--element . of the 'Austrian army, and that there are a few Magyars and still fewer Germans - among 'them Several trains arrive daily at Nish with prisoners, .who defile through the thoroughfares between the curious mul titudes, chattering in the Slav tongue among themselves and their Servian guards.

That' they fought with great reluctance is markedly ap parent. -, They readily confess to their amicable, attitude toward their con querors." ' They told . me many pitiful tales of the cruelty 6f their officers, of wholesale fullisading and of number less executions carried out in the streets and public squares :of Sarajevo.

HUGGINS IS BEING ASSISTED BY REV. R. W, THIOT OF NEW BERN VANCEBORO, Oct. 15 A real re vival meeting, which promises to be one of the old time sort, is in progress in Vanceboro. .

The meeting is now in full swing and the people are coming from tar. and near. No minister was ever more ef rnesf in his pre sentation of the Gospel than Mr. Thiof , who is doing the preach ; ing. His sermons are of the old ?tyie, presenting the old" time Gospel in its purity and simplicity, without compro mise or resort of the many clap trap methods used'b y so many of the modern evangelists. He deals directly with sin and the sinner. While he spares neither and warns with all earnestly against the inevitable end of the wicked, he says all in the utmost love and fervent appeals to the sinner to accept a loving Savior who died for them. Thus is it that his words carry with them force and conviction to the hearts of his hearers. The crowds attending the services are phenominal, considering the short period in which the meeting has been in progress and the past experience od the community in holding protractef meetings. The night services are being meetings. The inigh services are being auditorium of. the graded school, while services of various kinds are held else where during the day; On the streets, in homes and in places of business the meetings are being held throughout the day.

HEAVY FIGHTING NOW IN PROGRESS IN FRANCE. Reports Say That Ostend is Prac tically a Deserted City Just At This Time Refugees Are Leaving. BERLIN, Oct. 15. (via wireless toSayville, L. I.) This official announc ement was made in Berlin today; "German tnjpps in Belgium now are marching in part towards Ostend and in part in a southwesterly direction toward the French frontier. The head quarters of Emperor Wi'Iiam have been moved farther into France. "There has been heavy fighting in France east of Soissons and the Ar gonne. The French official reports about csucesses in the Woevre district are untrue. OSTEND IS VIRTUALLY A DESERTED CITY. LONDON, Oct. 14. Ostend is now virtually a deserted city, with its docks still crowded with terror- stricken refugees intent only in get ting as far as possible from the scenes of suffering. The repatriation of Belgian fugi tives promises to become a serious problem in England and Holland and these countries may call upon the United States to- assist in this work. Fprther detachments of troops' are landing today. "The war booty secured in Ant werp cannot yet be estimated, 26, 000 Belgians and 2,000 Englishmen have been enterned in Holland. In the harbor of Antwerp we found 32 German steamers, the boilers of which apparently had been disabled. 'Russian forces have been defeated near Schirwindt (in East Prussia, 12 miles to the east of Gumbinnen), with a loss of 1,500 prisoners and 20 cannon. German troops have re pulsed the Russians south of Warsaw and hold Southern Poland as far as the Vistula river. "Emperor William, acting on a petition handed him by Cardinal Hartmann of Cologne, has ordered the French Catholic priests among the prisoners in German, who enter ed the French ranks as common sol diers, shall be treated in Germany in the same manner as are French officers. "It is reported here from Stettin that German torpedo boat destroyers discovered six vessels of Norweigeni, Swedish and Danish nationality load ed wirli goods and provisions- des tined for London and Grimsby and also for Russia. All were taken into Swinemunde." PALL OF GLOOM HAS LIFTED FROM ENGLAND. LONDON, Oct. 15 The gloom which has enveloped England since the fall of Antwerp has been somewhat lightened by official announcement that the allies are more than holding their own in the furious fighting along the Franco-Belgian borcder; but this feeling of elation has been tempered by the growing realization that the Rus sian invasion of Silesia which was be lieved to be i-nminent must be post poned indefiriLely pending the out come of the battle in Russian Polland. Russia seems to have been compelled to follow -the steps of her enemy in t'he west and sacrifice the fruits of her victories by sending reinforcements to ftnother'part of the long battle front. The ; ' resumption of - the Austro- German offensive - in Galicia was an outcome of 'the' action of Russia in sending 'hetvy reinforcements to the river'1 Niemen, evidently : under the impression " tFaf a German invasion of the V Suvalki ; 'district ? was a real menante Slhd' not merely' a'-fiiverting movement.'The ; withdrawal of !

GML I SfflCK is mora THE HE-iD OF BALTIMORE FOR ESTRY SAID TO HAVE Mi.: DEATH IN BATTLE AMIKYILLK, (VI. 15- " ' -c- rrer.t in Asl-eville tsHi- '." t! -. ;fffct tl at Dr. Chu les A. .-; . . v ' ' was connected with ll .' l?:ilti y. -: ' r estry school i:p to the time as was declared in Europe, has been killed in one of the recent battles in the vicinity of Antwerp. This report could not be confirmed but friends of Dr. Schenk, re siding in Asheville, has sent cable grams to Germany to ascertain if pos sible if the rumor is true. The rumor was started by a forester on the B i lt more estate who is said to have re ceived his information from friends of Dr. Schenk in Germany. Dr. Schenk first came to this section several years ago to take charge of the forestry department of the Vanderbilt estate. He served in that capacity for several years conducting the forestry school and after severing his connections with the estate as chief forester, he continued to con:b.:ct his school in the name of the Biltmore Forestry school, bringing about 40 students here each summer. His custom was to divide his time between this country and his home at Darmstadt, Germany, and besides his work in the mountains of western North Carolina he traveled in all parts of the United States in active interest of forest preservation. Dr. Schenk was one of the foremost foresters of the world and his school was considered one of ti e most success ful of the kind ever conducted in Amer ica. He spent a considerable part of last summer in the vicinity of Sunburst and went from there to the forest of Michigan. At the first rumors of conflict be tween Germany and t!-e other European powers, Dr. Schenk forsook his interests jn the United States to take up the sword in defense of his country. He received early military training in the artillery corps and attained the rank of lieutenant. Information has been received that he was given his old com mission and that he served with dis tinction in several battles. No inform ation is available concerning the details of his supposed death, bt't 1 is friends here expect to receive definite inform ation today or tomorrow. MPERIAL RUSSIAN SON OF GRANDUNCLE OF CZAR FIRST OF ROYAL HOUSE TO LOSE LIFE IN BATTLE PETROGRAD, Oct. 15 Prince Oleg, fourth son of the Grand Duke Con stantine (granduncle of the Czar), is the first of the imperial house to give up his life for Russia in the war. He died last night in a hospital in Vilna from wounds received in a brilliant cavalry attack on the East Prussian frontier. An official account of few days ago stated that the Prince was slightly wounded in the'leg in a cavalry charge in which he was the first to reach the enemy. Another official bulletin said that the wound was more serious. With tonight's announcement of his death it is stated that the body will be brought for interment in the country estate of of the family near Moscow. Prince Oleg is one of many mem bers of the imperial family who are in the fighting tine, beginning with the Grand Duke Nicholas, Command er-in-Chief. Prince Oleg attained his majority last November. He already had distinguished himself at the front and was beloved by officers and men. To his leadership was attributed a large part of the success of the attack which put the Germans in retreat before he fell. THE WEATHER Probably raidtoday, with gentle to moderate east winds is the day's weather report for New Bern and vicinity. and is on the point of capitulation. Other dispatches from, the Russian capital refer to activity, along the Vistuta 1 fiver, . where several attacks are said to have been, repulsed, and declare that the- great. battle prob ably" now' is' under - way, unless the Austro-German advance has been hum pered by bad weather. .' -v ; T PUBLIC SCHOOL PUPILS HIE TO E EXHIBIT Their V.crk u he Seen During the '- h'-'-'d Eastern Carolina Fair ;o be Held Here October 27 to 30 THE DISPLAY IS NOW BEING MADE READY Strictest Order to be Maintained on the Fair Grounds Dur ing the Week Season Tickets on Sale One of the most interesting exhibits which will be seen at the Eastern Caro lina Fair which is to be held in this city on October 27th to 30th, will be that of the New Bern public schools.

Of course there will be no attempt to put a stop to the good times the visitors will le having, but there will be no rowdyism tolerated and those who go to the Fair with the intention of raising a "rough ho':se" had best cast aside all smb. intentions before entering the gates. The Fair will be for ladies and gentlemen and they may rest assured that their interests will be looked after. The Races The prizes of two thousand dollars in cash are attracting the attention of horsemen all over the country, especially the two prizes of $500 and $400 which are to be given on Thursday.

A serious land slide in Culebra Cut at a late hour last night interrupted all traffic through the Panama Canal. Several ships in the canal have been unable to complete their passage.
