While the announcement was not a surprise, news of his death was received as a shock by people of the city. Arterio sclerosis was the cause of his death. During his long ill-ness he was unconscious nearly all the time. Saturday he began sink-ing and Tuesday morning the end came peacefully. The funeral was held yesterday afternoon at- 4 o'clock from the First Presbyterian church, of which' Mr. Reece had long been a member. Rqy. Dr. Melton Clark, the pastor, con-ducted the service. The deacons of the church were pall-bearers. .Dur-ing his illness Mr. Reece requested that friends be asked nofc to send flowers and had given directions for a simple funeral. An unusually large number of people attended the service. Interment was in Greene Hill cemetery. Mr. Reece Is survived by his wid-ow, who was before marriage Miss Alice McMurray. No children were born to the couple, but they reared three children of Mrs. Reece's sister, whom they loved as if their own chil-dren and upon whom they bestowed every parental affection. These are Mrs. Frank P. Morton, ot Charlotte; Mrs. J. A. Williams, of Greensboro, and Mr. Charles HI Robertson, of Peoria, 111. At Jameatown. on June -10, 1848, Mr. Reece was born.

The Turks, too, expect an Anglo- French ■access, if the news reaching Soils from Constantinople is reliable. The allies feel that they don't need the aid of the'Balkan states in the Dardanelles operations but do want them to help fight Austria. Serbia's decision on the allies' proposals for satisfying Bulgaria's aspirations is expected soon.- It is believed thst Serbia will grant the necessary terri-tory, thus assuring the allies of Bul-garia joining with them. This would open the way for Rumania to join the allies. «. Rumattia wants assurances that Bulgaria will not attack her before she commences to move her troops. It is confidently expected that all of these questions will be settled satis-factorily to the allies and that with-in the same period the Greeks' policy will be announced definitely. The announcement of Serbia's decision, however, is not expected to be made for several days. Meanwhile the Austro-Germaneare aiming more heavy blows at Russia, hoping to put her on the defensive in-definitely, thus permitting the re-moval of the Teutons to other fronts, particularly Serbia and Italy. The Russians are offering stiff resistance at almost every point in the Baltic provinces. The Anetro-Germans claim progress on sll sides of the Brest Litevsk, as weU as other ad-vances.

To Improve Streets^—The neces-sary surveys have been made by the city engineer for the draft of ordi-nances preparatory to paving Tate, West Lee and Lithia streets. Ordi-nances for the first two mentioned will be drawn at once by GRy Attor-ney Cooke, but there will be no ac-tion relative to Lithia unless property owners along this thoroughfare vol-unteer to donate land to widen it. The commissioners do not feel that money should be expended on the street as it stands at present. It is up to the property owners to act if they want a pavement mid. Will Stand by City.—It is an-nounced that the state board of health will support the city authori-ties in their efforts to get the trus-tees of Guilford College to install s better system of sewerage purifica-tion er empty the sewersge some-where else then on Greensboro's wa-ter shed. The city officials sometime ago served notice to this effect en the college trustees. The college ssked the state board of health to approve its manner of disposing of the sew-sge. This the board refused to do. It is not known Just whst position the college will now teke. State Normal Opening.—The 24th annual session of the State Normal and Industrial College will open Sep-tember 16. The president, Dr. J. I. Poust, announced Tuesday that as usual the college will be filled to the limit. The first faculty meeting will be held on the evening of Monday, the 13th. On that date, also, the training school will be opened. Dr. Foust announced that Miss Imes, the dietitian, has resigned, and that her successor will be Miss Daisy Brooks, of Wlnston-Sslem. Miss Brooks wss trained at Teachers' College, Colum-bia University. She has had success-ful experience and; comes to the Nor-mal College highly recommended he was still a youth his father came to Greensboro and purchased the property on which the Record office now stands and which is still in the family. This property was then oc-cupied by a hotel which Mr. Reece's father conducted. Early in life Mr. Reece entered a newspaper plant. Having obtained a taste of printer's ink, he never left the work. He worked in the mechan-ical department of The Patriot and on other papers and in job plants in the city. He was in the job printing business with Messrs. C. F. Thomas and H. J. Elam at different times. On November 17, 1890, Messrs. Reece and Elam founded the Daily Record, an afternoon puper, which has been regularly issued ever since. At first it was not a financial suc-cess, but in a few j-ears it was well established and is now a valuable piece of property. Its two-story building occupies a site on West Market street, where the old hotel of Mr. Reece's father stood. In 1902 Mr. Elam sold his interest in the bus-iness to Mr. and Mrs. Reece. . Mr. Elam is still connected with the pa-per as advertising manager. Mr. Reece was not a brilliant edi-tor, but it is doubtful if the editorials of any man In the state were more generally read. He had a rare sense of humor, an easy and plain style of writing that had a charm of its own, and a vast amount of common sense that ever gave him poise He was a good judge of men and measures, had intuition that appalled people who tried to mislead him, and always spoke and wrote plainly what he thought. He was ever a staunch Democrat and believed in the princi-ples of his party. He never cared lor any sort of political preferment and refused anything of the kind offered him. Baseball was his recreation. He-rarely missed s game in the city. He was a charter member of "Tam-many," the circle of Greensboro's older men that meet about the conrt house steps in summer snd in County Treasurer McKinney's room In win-ter. This was his only club and lodge. This unique body is not or-ganised, yet its members are well known. They attended the funeral in a body. _ GUILFORD ONE OF LEADERS IN NUMBER OF AUTOMOBILES. Chancellor Wants Peace. At the secret conference of cabinet ministers, political leaders and in-fluential writers, called by the Ger-man imperial chancellor before the reassemb(inr of the - Reichstag .. last Thursday, the Telegraate says, Karl Helfferich, secretary of the treasury, explained that the new German war loan would completely' exhaust the empire's financial resources and that the increase' te* * wxcheQUei1' iwvndu would cause bankruptcy. Therefore, Dr. Helfferich urged, It -was needful to prepare for an honorable peace. Chancellor Von Bethmann Holl-wejgg, according to the same report, declared that the difficulties of the eniplre were increasing and advised hit hearers to use their influence to seftei down I bellicose Inclinations anjfl expansion policy in the Relch-and the country and carefully repare peace proposals which I Id' TSrTtcceptaUTe -ttr ■ tne"twrr Asm of the entente, r. Dentburg's-report of the fail- I of his mission in the United ■ states, and other neutral countries, the Telegrsaf niays, made a strong impression on the conference. ideut. Gen. Count, you . Moltke, former chief of the general Staff, de- ! clired that he fully agreed with the chancellor and added that only those not fully Informed on the'situation could hope for,;-sho,..nosstbjBRy ot j The county of Guilford had paid in to the office of secretary of state for automobile license, $5,881,75, and this puts her second in the list of counties so far, Mecklenburg leading with $5,884,26. According to these figures, Guilford is but $2.50 behind Mecklenburg, and if the people here who run autos without license num-ber, were to pay up the Mecklenburg total would be surpassed, judging from the record of the police in ar-resting people without license. Mr. E. G. Sherrill writes that Guil-ford surpassed Forsyth by $2,600 and Buncombe by $1,500 and that the only other county whose receipts may approach those of this county is Wake. One of the most important facts about the purchase of automobile li-cense of the state department is that 80 per cent of the price paid will re-turn to each of the counties to be used on the roads. Guilford will get back this year $4,705,40 and Meck-lenburg just exactly two dollors more from this fund. is preparing to send additional troop's and supplies to Alsace. A statement from an authoritative British source says that Germany, on July 31. had 1,800,000 men on the western and 1,400,000 on the eastern front, while Austria had 1.120,000 soldiers fighting against Russia. It goes on to state that while it is esti-mated that Germany could raise eight or nine million men. it is hot be-lieved it can arm and keep up more than whet now is the total on both fronts. It estimates that Germany's total casualties, to the end of June was 1,672,000 men, of whom 300,- 000 were killed, 15,000 died of dis-ease and the others were missing, wounded and prisoners. It is reported that Rumania has ordered-all railway rolling stock in the kingdom to be placed at the dis-posal of the minister of war Septem-ber 14. story concludes, to adopt- a resolu-tion advocating moderation in the Reichstag, whereupon the chancellor declared that if a majority should show an irreconcilably chauvonictlc attitude he would be obliged to re-sign, as he could not accept respon-sibility for Germany's disaster. CANNING CLUB GIRLS HAVING A BIG WEEK. • 2 i4.'*a ->., illmX*.: Calvert is the Race.—Thomas Ii. Calvert, who is now assistant attor-ney general, will be among th* can-didates In the Democratic primary for Attorney General Blckett's place. This makes four candidates.

A large number of the girls, accom-panied by Miss Grace Schaeffer, di-rector of the work in the county, went on a camping trip on Deepriver, near Freemans' mill, and remained until yesterday. Saturday, at Guilford Battle Ground, there is to be a big picnic for both the girie and boys of the county clubs. The public Is extend-ed an invitation to attend this event, snd s big basket dinner will be of-fered as one of the attractions. Mr. Robinson snd Mrs. Morris Witt, of the state department of agricuUure, Raleigh, will be present for the event snd will deliver short talks for the benefit of the boys snd girls. Club pongs by the girls wiU furnish the musical feature of the event. This afternoon at 2.30 o'clock the members of the Jamestown canning Club will give a public demonstration tor the Jamestown Woman's Clnb, at the request of the tatter, at the home of Mrs. Oscar Bundy. A public demonstration wiU slso be given Friday afternoon by the girls st Guilford College- This will be at the home ot Miss Fannie Smith at 2.3* o'clock. Miss Schseffer will be present to assist in these demonstra-tions. Break With Germany Coming. Six days have passed since a Ger-man submarine sunk the Arabic with the loss of two American lives, and the American government still is without the detailed and official in-formation necessary to shape Its course. The only notable development is s break in the official silence at the White House. Secretary Tumulty, after conferring with President Wil-son, issued this statement: "Aa soon as all the facts regarding the Arabic are ascertained, our course of action will be determined." Secretary Lansing declared, all the information so fsr In the hands of the state department was fragmen-tary. Ambassador Page at London, who had forwarded by mail a detail-ed statement including some affida-vits of American survivors, was in-structed to send immediately a sum-mary by cable. Some dispatches were received from him, but they were not made > public, because it was understood the department wss unwilling to give out material It con-sidered incomplete. The United States had clearly ex-pressed its opposition to the destruc-tion of merchant ships without warn-ing, and had pointedly warned Ger-many against repetition of such trag-edies In which Americans are in-volved. State department officials believe it is not now incumbent on the American government to ask Germany for aa excuse for the con-duct of the submarine commander who sunk the Arabic. MAJOR STEDMAN HAS NO AVOWED OPPONENT. While candidates for Congress have been announcing themselves in other congressional districts' of the state, there has been a noticeable dearth of proposed candidates against ' Major Charles M. Stedman in the fifth district. It has been said from time to time that the major would; have opposition next year In the pri-maries, but it now looks as if his op-ponents have not been, found. Cer-tainly no man has been mentioned who has avowed bis candidacy. It is also certain that Major Stedman is not worried about the matter. He is now serving his third "term and Is probably stronger with the people than he has been at any time before. He has told his friends that he will ask for renomlnation. He has al-ways been a staunch advocate of the primary for the selection of party candidates, and naturally he is glad that if he is opposed his cause will be submitted to all of the Demo-crats of the district. The names that have been mentioned as possible can-didates are Solicitor Porter Graves, Mr. Victor S. Bryant, General B. S. Royster and Judge E. B. Jones. None of them have authorised the use of their names In connection with the fight. < ■ ' Mrs. Lanra York Dead.—Mrs. Laura E. York, aged 84, died yester-day at 3 o'clock at her home In Po-mona.

While the announcement was not a surprise, news of his death was received as a shock by people of the city. Arterio sclerosis was the cause of his death. During his long ill-ness he was unconscious nearly all the time. Saturday he began sink-ing and Tuesday morning the end came peacefully. The funeral was held yesterday afternoon at- 4 o'clock from the First Presbyterian church, of which' Mr. Reece had long been a member. Rqy. Dr. Melton Clark, the pastor, con-ducted the service. The deacons of the church were pall-bearers. .Dur-ing his illness Mr. Reece requested that friends be asked nofc to send flowers and had given directions for a simple funeral. An unusually large number of people attended the service. Interment was in Greene Hill cemetery. Mr. Reece Is survived by his wid-ow, who was before marriage Miss Alice McMurray. No children were born to the couple, but they reared three children of Mrs. Reece's sister, whom they loved as if their own chil-dren and upon whom they bestowed every parental affection.

The Turks, too, expect an Anglo- French ■access, if the news reaching Soils from Constantinople is reliable. The allies feel that they don't need the aid of the'Balkan states in the Dardanelles operations but do want them to help fight Austria. Serbia's decision on the allies' proposals for satisfying Bulgaria's aspirations is expected soon.- It is believed thst Serbia will grant the necessary terri-tory, thus assuring the allies of Bul-garia joining with them. This would open the way for Rumania to join the allies. «. Rumattia wants assurances that Bulgaria will not attack her before she commences to move her troops. It is confidently expected that all of these questions will be settled satis-factorily to the allies and that with-in the same period the Greeks' policy will be announced definitely. The announcement of Serbia's decision, however, is not expected to be made for several days. Meanwhile the Austro-Germaneare aiming more heavy blows at Russia, hoping to put her on the defensive in-definitely, thus permitting the re-moval of the Teutons to other fronts, particularly Serbia and Italy. The Russians are offering stiff resistance at almost every point in the Baltic provinces. The Anetro-Germans claim progress on sll sides of the Brest Litevsk, as weU as other ad-vances.

The commissioners do not feel that money should be expended on the street as it stands at present. It is up to the property owners to act if they want a pavement mid. Will Stand by City.—It is an-nounced that the state board of health will support the city authori-ties in their efforts to get the trus-tees of Guilford College to install s better system of sewerage purifica-tion er empty the sewersge some-where else then on Greensboro's wa-ter shed. The city officials sometime ago served notice to this effect en the college trustees. The college ssked the state board of health to approve its manner of disposing of the sew-sge. This the board refused to do. It is not known Just whst position the college will now teke. State Normal Opening.—The 24th annual session of the State Normal and Industrial College will open Sep-tember 16. The president, Dr. J. I. Poust, announced Tuesday that as usual the college will be filled to the limit. The first faculty meeting will be held on the evening of Monday, the 13th. On that date, also, the training school will be opened. Dr. Foust announced that Miss Imes, the dietitian, has resigned, and that her successor will be Miss Daisy Brooks, of Wlnston-Sslem. Miss Brooks wss trained at Teachers' College, Colum-bia University. She has had success-ful experience and; comes to the Nor-mal College highly recommended he was still a youth his father came to Greensboro and purchased the property on which the Record office now stands and which is still in the family. This property was then oc-cupied by a hotel which Mr. Reece's father conducted. Early in life Mr. Reece entered a newspaper plant. Having obtained a taste of printer's ink, he never left the work. He worked in the mechan-ical department of The Patriot and on other papers and in job plants in the city. He was in the job printing business with Messrs. C. F. Thomas and H. J. Elam at different times. On November 17, 1890, Messrs. Reece and Elam founded the Daily Record, an afternoon puper, which has been regularly issued ever since. At first it was not a financial suc-cess, but in a few j-ears it was well established and is now a valuable piece of property. Its two-story building occupies a site on West Market street, where the old hotel of Mr. Reece's father stood. In 1902 Mr. Elam sold his interest in the bus-iness to Mr. and Mrs. Reece. . Mr. Elam is still connected with the pa-per as advertising manager. Mr. Reece was not a brilliant edi-tor, but it is doubtful if the editorials of any man In the state were more generally read. He had a rare sense of humor, an easy and plain style of writing that had a charm of its own, and a vast amount of common sense that ever gave him poise He was a good judge of men and measures, had intuition that appalled people who tried to mislead him, and always spoke and wrote plainly what he thought. He was ever a staunch Democrat and believed in the princi-ples of his party. He never cared lor any sort of political preferment and refused anything of the kind offered him. Baseball was his recreation. He-rarely missed s game in the city. He was a charter member of "Tam-many," the circle of Greensboro's older men that meet about the conrt house steps in summer snd in County Treasurer McKinney's room In win-ter. This was his only club and lodge. This unique body is not or-ganised, yet its members are well known. They attended the funeral in a body. _ GUILFORD ONE OF LEADERS IN NUMBER OF AUTOMOBILES. Chancellor Wants Peace. At the secret conference of cabinet ministers, political leaders and in-fluential writers, called by the Ger-man imperial chancellor before the reassemb(inr of the - Reichstag .. last Thursday, the Telegraate says, Karl Helfferich, secretary of the treasury, explained that the new German war loan would completely' exhaust the empire's financial resources and that the increase' te* * wxcheQUei1' iwvndu would cause bankruptcy. Therefore, Dr. Helfferich urged, It -was needful to prepare for an honorable peace. Chancellor Von Bethmann Holl-wejgg, according to the same report, declared that the difficulties of the eniplre were increasing and advised hit hearers to use their influence to seftei down I bellicose Inclinations anjfl expansion policy in the Relch-and the country and carefully repare peace proposals which I Id' TSrTtcceptaUTe -ttr ■ tne"twrr Asm of the entente, r.

According to these figures, Guilford is but $2.50 behind Mecklenburg, and if the people here who run autos without license num-ber, were to pay up the Mecklenburg total would be surpassed, judging from the record of the police in ar-resting people without license. Mr. E. G. Sherrill writes that Guil-ford surpassed Forsyth by $2,600 and Buncombe by $1,500 and that the only other county whose receipts may approach those of this county is Wake. One of the most important facts about the purchase of automobile li-cense of the state department is that 80 per cent of the price paid will re-turn to each of the counties to be used on the roads. Guilford will get back this year $4,705,40 and Meck-lenburg just exactly two dollors more from this fund. is preparing to send additional troop's and supplies to Alsace. A statement from an authoritative British source says that Germany, on July 31. had 1,800,000 men on the western and 1,400,000 on the eastern front, while Austria had 1.120,000 soldiers fighting against Russia. It goes on to state that while it is esti-mated that Germany could raise eight or nine million men. it is hot be-lieved it can arm and keep up more than whet now is the total on both fronts. It estimates that Germany's total casualties, to the end of June was 1,672,000 men, of whom 300,- 000 were killed, 15,000 died of dis-ease and the others were missing, wounded and prisoners. It is reported that Rumania has ordered-all railway rolling stock in the kingdom to be placed at the dis-posal of the minister of war Septem-ber 14. story concludes, to adopt- a resolu-tion advocating moderation in the Reichstag, whereupon the chancellor declared that if a majority should show an irreconcilably chauvonictlc attitude he would be obliged to re-sign, as he could not accept respon-sibility for Germany's disaster.

A large number of the girls, accom-panied by Miss Grace Schaeffer, di-rector of the work in the county, went on a camping trip on Deepriver, near Freemans' mill, and remained until yesterday. Saturday, at Guilford Battle Ground, there is to be a big picnic for both the girie and boys of the county clubs.

Six days have passed since a Ger-man submarine sunk the Arabic with the loss of two American lives, and the American government still is without the detailed and official in-formation necessary to shape Its course. The only notable development is s break in the official silence at the White House. Secretary Tumulty, after conferring with President Wil-son, issued this statement: "Aa soon as all the facts regarding the Arabic are ascertained, our course of action will be determined." Secretary Lansing declared, all the information so fsr In the hands of the state department was fragmen-tary. Ambassador Page at London, who had forwarded by mail a detail-ed statement including some affida-vits of American survivors, was in-structed to send immediately a sum-mary by cable. Some dispatches were received from him, but they were not made > public, because it was understood the department wss unwilling to give out material It con-sidered incomplete. The United States had clearly ex-pressed its opposition to the destruc-tion of merchant ships without warn-ing, and had pointedly warned Ger-many against repetition of such trag-edies In which Americans are in-volved. State department officials believe it is not now incumbent on the American government to ask Germany for aa excuse for the con-duct of the submarine commander who sunk the Arabic. MAJOR STEDMAN HAS NO AVOWED OPPONENT. While candidates for Congress have been announcing themselves in other congressional districts' of the state, there has been a noticeable dearth of proposed candidates against ' Major Charles M. Stedman in the fifth district. It has been said from time to time that the major would; have opposition next year In the pri-maries, but it now looks as if his op-ponents have not been, found. Cer-tainly no man has been mentioned who has avowed bis candidacy. It is also certain that Major Stedman is not worried about the matter. He is now serving his third "term and Is probably stronger with the people than he has been at any time before. He has told his friends that he will ask for renomlnation. He has al-ways been a staunch advocate of the primary for the selection of party candidates, and naturally he is glad that if he is opposed his cause will be submitted to all of the Demo-crats of the district. The names that have been mentioned as possible can-didates are Solicitor Porter Graves, Mr. Victor S. Bryant, General B. S. Royster and Judge E. B. Jones. None of them have authorised the use of their names In connection with the fight. < ■ ' Mrs. Lanra York Dead.—Mrs. Laura E. York, aged 84, died yester-day at 3 o'clock at her home In Po-mona.
