You have carried two-thirds of the states of the union. The four years of your administration have brought you ap-proximately 2,266,614 more votes than when you were first elected in 1912.

New Tork, Not. 10.—Worn oat by ■the .tension of waiting for Che returns from doubtful states which would determine whether he had been elect-ed ' to the presidency, Charles E. Hughes retired at 9 o'clock tonight. He spent the day at his hotel except for a two hours automobile ride with his wife this afternoon. Mr. Hughes has not yet conceded the election of President Wilson and probably will not do so until the vote of close states has been officially ■counted. . George W. Perkins conferred this afternoon with the Republican can-didate. He stated that no definite decision had been reached by party managers in regard to demanding a recount in California, New Mexico and North Dakota. He intimated ac-tion probably would be deferred un-til the official count in those states was completed, in the hope .that there might be an overturn of the compar-atively slender Wilson pluralities. Republican national headquarters here were deserted early tonight. Chairman Wilcox announced that he would not be on hand again except for conferences. , The Democratic national commit-tee apparently regards the campaign as closed, for the work of dismant-ling headquarters is well under way. Chairman McCormick spent the night at a hotel in this city and probably will go to his home at Harrlsburg tomorrow. S. A.Howard Paralyzed. , Mr- 8. A. Howard, an. aged and vwejl.' known oltlsen of Greensboro, .suffered a stroke df paralysis Friday .morning at Ms ihome .on Church street. The stroke affected Us right side and rendered him speechless* His condition is .a matter of concern to hte friends. Mrs. Howard, who has Just returned from a Stay of sev-eral weeks' in St. Leo's hospital, is almost prostrated as a result of her husbands aflltctnon. For 30 years or more Mr. Howard was manager of the Western Union Telegaaph Com- .pamy's office in this city, havlac been retired by the company on a pension 16* or IS years ago. The Guilford County Teachers' As-sociation held its first regular meet-ing tor the year at the court house Saturday at lb.30. Dr. Byrd, of West Market Street; Methodist church, con-ducted the devotional exercises and made a good talk to the teachers, telling them iot to neglect the small things of school life, Christian life and every-da? life. A represenrtaAive of the Guilford creamery brought dairying to the at-tention of the teachers and asked for their co-opera*ion in getting the farmers and school ohildren interest-ed in dairying, and asked their aid in helping distribute material seat out by the Southern Railway and the Guilford creshnery. County Superintendent Foust told the teachers (hat the board of educa-tion will give two holidays Thanks-giving week'to the teachers attend-ing the Teacters' Assembly, which is to be held uilUleIgn this year. Of course, if the teachers are not going to attend the assembly, there is no reason why there should not be school on Friday after Thanksgiving. The work fef the teachers' reading circle was discussed. The State Nor-mal and Industrial College will fur-nish rompetspt workers from its edu-cational dejierrmenit to help the teachers do this work this year. If the differenKdepartments of the as-sociation waft a strong teacher to meet with Stem, there will be no trouble in getting one. Guilford coun-ty is fortunate in having at hand a corps of wellvtrained teachers to help the local teachers in preparing them-selves tor ths work. The toUo%fiq; resolution was adopt-ed by the ftaiwlatlon:' "We, the Gull-ford county, teachers, in meeting as-sembled, endorse the proposed bill tor thranlrW*certlnoation of teach-ers which is to be presented to oux state legislature the coming session." Superintendent Foust explained that if the great body of teachers in. North Carolina were In favor of this bill it will help to get it through the legis-lature this term, a bill on the same order having failed last session; but if the teachers are againat it and try to prevent its passage it will be a very potent influence in that capacity. All the teachers of every country in the state are being requested to take action. In explaining the bill Mr. Foust said: "There are one hundred coun-ties in North Carolina and as each superintendent passes upon the qual-ifications of teachers In that county, that means that there are one hun-dred standards in North Carolina. I try not to have too high a stand-ard; I really believe that I do not have it high enough. I do not know whether my standard is the same as Randolph or Alamance or Rocking-ham. Of course we aH have the same questions, but when It comes to the grading of papers is where the standard is not the same. It is im-possible to'get a uniform standard for North Carolina. We have no pro-fessional standard because of this. Our teachers haven't the standard that the people in other lines have, lawyers, doctors, etc. We have had the idea that anybody can teach school, whereas we have very strin-gent laws to keep Just anybody from practicing medicine, and we are never going to have a standard until we have some central authority to! pass upon the qualifications of teach-ers. That has been the history of every state In the union. The states that have established any standard for teachers have a state board to certify to their qualifications. That, in short, is what this bill proposes." Ths high school teachers elected W. G. Sneed, of the Pomona school, president; E. J. Coltran e, of ths Jamestown school, vice president; Miss Berta Mstoin, of the Bessemer scttoo*. secreCa|y tnd treasurer. This "department will meet, on the second Saturday Jn. December, pr. Less, of the Normal College, will be on the program and they will discuss uni-form work in the high schools of ths coonty. The grammar grade teachers elect-ed Mrs. Gypsle B. Hyatt, of the Deep Rtver school, (president, and Miss Liucy Henley, of the Jamestown school, secretary and treasurer. They win meet oa aha second Saturday in DuusaahST. A program committee was appointed to arrange a U'us,**— fords* WAS A GREAT CELEBRATION MILITANT DEMOCRACY MADE MORE XOISE THAN WAS EVER HEARD HERE BEFORE. GERMAN DRIVE EAST FRONT GAIX8 POSSESSION OK KISSI \\ v UXES OK TWO AND A HALF MILE FRONT. The militant Democracy of Greens-boro and Guilford county went the limit Friday night in celebrating the election of President Wilson. There have been many celebrations in Greensboro in the past, but never anythiDg,that approached this one in - the size of the crowd or the unre-strained enthusiasm of the thousands who shouted the song of victory. There is no way of telling how many people participated in the celebration, but everybody is agreed that it was the biggest crowd ever seen togeth-er in Greensboro. The nearest ap-proach to It in size was the multitude that turned out to hear Bryan when he spoke here during his first cam-paign for the presidency in 1896. •In view of the fact that there was no building or vacant lot in the city that would accommodate the crowd, the-celebration was staged on West Market terrace, just beyond the city limits on West Market street. To this place the jubilant Democrats made their way by the thousands, the line of march forming on North Elm street. A good portion of the crowd marched on foot, while several hun-dred automobiles brought up the rear. There were two brass bands in the procession, but their sound was drowned by the noise of innumerable cow bells, tin pans, empty cans and other noise-making instruments drag-ged on the ground behind the auto-mobiles and in the hands of men, wo-men and boys. The procession literally choked West Market street, and the line of march broke and a part of it moved to the scene of the celebration by way of Spring street. Walker avenue. Mendenhajl, Spring Garden, Llthia and Tate streets. . «.-.. W.. h«weUn tuhne ucrtwown-du - rrevaaccaheead..

The flames could be seen for miles and told the people of the surrounding country who. had not come to Greens-boro to join in the celebration that it was a night of joy and revelry to the superlative degree. A coffin bearing the figurative re-mains of the late Republican candi-date for president was borne around, the bonfire by GuiMord College stu-dents and then placed on the funeral pyre. Dr. George A. Mehane, who claims to be the .happiest Democrat in the country, with the possible ex-ception of Judge Strudwick. deliver-ed the "funeral oration" and the "solemn" ceremony was over—hut not the celebration. The crowd, which was just getting warmed up properly, spread over the town and continued the glad noise for several hours. Driving against the center of the .Russian line on the eastern front. German troops have gained posses-sion of Russian positions on a front of about two and a half miles. The attack, which resulted also in the capture of more toan s.000 prison-ers, took place in the district of Skrobowa, 12 miles northeast of Baranovichi, north of the Pinsk gMarshes. and where only isolated fighting has occurred lately. The Russians, Berlin also says, lost 27 .machine guns and iz mine throwers. The success of the Germans is ad-mitted by Petrograd war office, which announces that the Russians,' after .stubborn resistance against seven on-slaughts were finally compelled to fall back to their • second line of trenches.. Elsewhere on the eastern .front to the Carpathians, there lias -been little fighting; according to the official communications. In Dobrudja Che advance of the Russo-Rumanian forces southward .continues and Petrograd records a battle with Field Marshal Von Mack- .ensen's troops in the region of Toher-naroda, recently abandoned by the .Rumanians. At Tohernavoda is the bridge of the Buoharest. and it is for this bridge the Russians and Ruman-ians aTe fighting. Petrograd also an-nounces the occupation of several .towns between Hirsova and Tcher- .navoda. Berlin says there have been no important ohanges in Dobrudjo. On the Transylvamia-Rumania front Archduke Charles has assumed the offensive and pushed back the Rumanians. In the Predeal sector stubborn fighting continues, with both the Austro-Germams and the .Rumanians claiming progress. The ,Austrians have almost completely re-covered the ground lost m the Geor- Seve'ral trench elements north of .the Somme'near'LeVr&oeufs and Sall- .lisei have been captured by the French. Berlin states Franco-Brit-ish attacks between Gueudecourt and .Sailly were repulsed. There has, been much aerial fight-ing on the Western front. Berlin re-cords the destruction of seventeen .entente airplanes and Paris asserts ( jciuait ten German machines were brought down. London admits that seven British aircraft failed to re-turn to their base after fights in the air. In one of the fights a squadron ,of thirty British airplanes and a .German squadron of between thirty and forty were engaged. Inclement weather continues to hamper operations on a larger scale on the Macedonia and Austro-Italian fronts. THE DEVTSCHLAXD PREPARING TO SAIL. New London, Nov. 10.—Within the next 48 hours the Deutschland will probably creep along within the American three mile limit watting for a chance to dash to sea. The green submarine is loaded. M is claimed it is waiting certain addi-tions to the cargo which have not yet arrived, but the feverish activity which marked *he past week around the berth of the little blockade run-ner seems to have died away. Before it leaves the Deutschlatid must apply for clearance papers. The deputy.collector of customs stated over the telephone at 8 o'clock to-night that he has received no request tor clearance from the submarine. For the first time since he arrived In New London Captain Koenig was not in evidence about the streets to-day. The Doataohkud will surely not sail tomorrow morning whatever It may do m the afternoon and ft is not likely to leave except by daylight. Provisions have bsan ordered from local dealers and will be loaded aboard the boat in the morning. The primary teachers sleeted Miss Bottle Aiken Land, of the Pomona school, as president; Miss Laoflla Hardln, of the Pleasant Garden school, vice president; Mtos BtheJ Long, of the Bessemer school, secre-tary and treasurer. Program com-mittee: Miss Katls Khne, of the Pomona school; Mrs. B. C. Ruffln, of the Pomona Mill school; M4ns Ora Scot*, at ths iooth Buffalo school. AGED MINISTER PASSES TO HIS FINAL REWARD.

County Superintendent Foust told the teachers (hat the board of educa-tion will give two holidays Thanks-giving week'to the teachers attend-ing the Teacters' Assembly, which is to be held uilUleIgn this year. Of course, if the teachers are not going to attend the assembly, there is no reason why there should not be school on Friday after Thanksgiving. The work fef the teachers' reading circle was discussed. The State Nor-mal and Industrial College will fur-nish rompetspt workers from its edu-cational dejierrmenit to help the teachers do this work this year. If the differenKdepartments of the as-sociation waft a strong teacher to meet with Stem, there will be no trouble in getting one. Guilford coun-ty is fortunate in having at hand a corps of wellvtrained teachers to help the local teachers in preparing them-selves tor ths work. The toUo%fiq; resolution was adopt-ed by the ftaiwlatlon:' "We, the Gull-ford county, teachers, in meeting as-sembled, endorse the proposed bill tor thranlrW*certlnoation of teach-ers which is to be presented to oux state legislature the coming session." Superintendent Foust explained that if the great body of teachers in. North Carolina were In favor of this bill it will help to get it through the legis-lature this term, a bill on the same order having failed last session; but if the teachers are againat it and try to prevent its passage it will be a very potent influence in that capacity. All the teachers of every country in the state are being requested to take action. In explaining the bill Mr. Foust said: "There are one hundred coun-ties in North Carolina and as each superintendent passes upon the qual-ifications of teachers In that county, that means that there are one hun-dred standards in North Carolina. I try not to have too high a stand-ard; I really believe that I do not have it high enough. I do not know whether my standard is the same as Randolph or Alamance or Rocking-ham. Of course we aH have the same questions, but when It comes to the grading of papers is where the standard is not the same. It is im-possible to'get a uniform standard for North Carolina. We have no pro-fessional standard because of this. Our teachers haven't the standard that the people in other lines have, lawyers, doctors, etc. We have had the idea that anybody can teach school, whereas we have very strin-gent laws to keep Just anybody from practicing medicine, and we are never going to have a standard until we have some central authority to! pass upon the qualifications of teach-ers. That has been the history of every state In the union. The states that have established any standard for teachers have a state board to certify to their qualifications. That, in short, is what this bill proposes." Ths high school teachers elected W. G. Sneed, of the Pomona school, president; E. J. Coltran e, of ths Jamestown school, vice president; Miss Berta Mstoin, of the Bessemer scttoo*. secreCa|y tnd treasurer. This "department will meet, on the second Saturday Jn. December, pr. Less, of the Normal College, will be on the program and they will discuss uni-form work in the high schools of ths coonty. The grammar grade teachers elect-ed Mrs. Gypsle B. Hyatt, of the Deep Rtver school, (president, and Miss Liucy Henley, of the Jamestown school, secretary and treasurer. They win meet oa aha second Saturday in DuusaahST. A program committee was appointed to arrange a U'us,**— fords* WAS A GREAT CELEBRATION MILITANT DEMOCRACY MADE MORE XOISE THAN WAS EVER HEARD HERE BEFORE. GERMAN DRIVE EAST FRONT GAIX8 POSSESSION OK KISSI \\ v UXES OK TWO AND A HALF MILE FRONT. The militant Democracy of Greens-boro and Guilford county went the limit Friday night in celebrating the election of President Wilson. There have been many celebrations in Greensboro in the past, but never anythiDg,that approached this one in - the size of the crowd or the unre-strained enthusiasm of the thousands who shouted the song of victory. There is no way of telling how many people participated in the celebration, but everybody is agreed that it was the biggest crowd ever seen togeth-er in Greensboro. The nearest ap-proach to It in size was the multitude that turned out to hear Bryan when he spoke here during his first cam-paign for the presidency in 1896. •In view of the fact that there was no building or vacant lot in the city that would accommodate the crowd, the-celebration was staged on West Market terrace, just beyond the city limits on West Market street. To this place the jubilant Democrats made their way by the thousands, the line of march forming on North Elm street. A good portion of the crowd marched on foot, while several hun-dred automobiles brought up the rear. There were two brass bands in the procession, but their sound was drowned by the noise of innumerable cow bells, tin pans, empty cans and other noise-making instruments drag-ged on the ground behind the auto-mobiles and in the hands of men, wo-men and boys. The procession literally choked West Market street, and the line of march broke and a part of it moved to the scene of the celebration by way of Spring street. Walker avenue. Mendenhajl, Spring Garden, Llthia and Tate streets. . «.-.. W.. h«weUn tuhne ucrtwown-du - rrevaaccaheead..

The flames could be seen for miles and told the people of the surrounding country who. had not come to Greens-boro to join in the celebration that it was a night of joy and revelry to the superlative degree. A coffin bearing the figurative re-mains of the late Republican candi-date for president was borne around, the bonfire by GuiMord College stu-dents and then placed on the funeral pyre. Dr. George A. Mehane, who claims to be the .happiest Democrat in the country, with the possible ex-ception of Judge Strudwick. deliver-ed the "funeral oration" and the "solemn" ceremony was over—hut not the celebration. The crowd, which was just getting warmed up properly, spread over the town and continued the glad noise for several hours. Driving against the center of the .Russian line on the eastern front. German troops have gained posses-sion of Russian positions on a front of about two and a half miles. The attack, which resulted also in the capture of more toan s.000 prison-ers, took place in the district of Skrobowa, 12 miles northeast of Baranovichi, north of the Pinsk gMarshes. and where only isolated fighting has occurred lately. The Russians, Berlin also says, lost 27 .machine guns and iz mine throwers. The success of the Germans is ad-mitted by Petrograd war office, which announces that the Russians,' after .stubborn resistance against seven on-slaughts were finally compelled to fall back to their • second line of trenches.. Elsewhere on the eastern .front to the Carpathians, there lias -been little fighting; according to the official communications. In Dobrudja Che advance of the Russo-Rumanian forces southward .continues and Petrograd records a battle with Field Marshal Von Mack- .ensen's troops in the region of Toher-naroda, recently abandoned by the .Rumanians. At Tohernavoda is the bridge of the Buoharest. and it is for this bridge the Russians and Ruman-ians aTe fighting. Petrograd also an-nounces the occupation of several .towns between Hirsova and Tcher- .navoda. Berlin says there have been no important ohanges in Dobrudjo. On the Transylvamia-Rumania front Archduke Charles has assumed the offensive and pushed back the Rumanians. In the Predeal sector stubborn fighting continues, with both the Austro-Germams and the .Rumanians claiming progress. The ,Austrians have almost completely re-covered the ground lost m the Geor- Seve'ral trench elements north of .the Somme'near'LeVr&oeufs and Sall- .lisei have been captured by the French. Berlin states Franco-Brit-ish attacks between Gueudecourt and .Sailly were repulsed. There has, been much aerial fight-ing on the Western front. Berlin re-cords the destruction of seventeen .entente airplanes and Paris asserts ( jciuait ten German machines were brought down. London admits that seven British aircraft failed to re-turn to their base after fights in the air. In one of the fights a squadron ,of thirty British airplanes and a .German squadron of between thirty and forty were engaged. Inclement weather continues to hamper operations on a larger scale on the Macedonia and Austro-Italian fronts. THE DEVTSCHLAXD PREPARING TO SAIL. New London, Nov. 10.—Within the next 48 hours the Deutschland will probably creep along within the American three mile limit watting for a chance to dash to sea. The green submarine is loaded. M is claimed it is waiting certain addi-tions to the cargo which have not yet arrived, but the feverish activity which marked *he past week around the berth of the little blockade run-ner seems to have died away. Before it leaves the Deutschlatid must apply for clearance papers. The deputy.collector of customs stated over the telephone at 8 o'clock to-night that he has received no request tor clearance from the submarine. For the first time since he arrived In New London Captain Koenig was not in evidence about the streets to-day. The Doataohkud will surely not sail tomorrow morning whatever It may do m the afternoon and ft is not likely to leave except by daylight. Provisions have bsan ordered from local dealers and will be loaded aboard the boat in the morning.
