Pearce was taken suddenly ill and died Monday morning. His body was brought to Greensboro and the The general activity which is com-pelling the Germans to give immedi-ate Attention to their northern half of the campaign has changed the character of the operations from Warsaw. The employment/of six German armies, or from 40 to 45 corps, over a front of 180 versts fac-ing Osowiec and Brest-Litevsk, shows that their future tasks In the woody, swampy zone of Poliessie, surrounding Brest-Litovsk to the southeast, excludes the possibility of their turning the Russian left flank. In the Baltic provinces, on the Rus-sian right, the Germans are now re-inforced, troops having been brought from Poland, where the army ot Woyrsch has been filled by Austrians. Serious battles are expected now in the Baltic region, where the enemy's aims latterly have been com-pelled to harmonize his operations with the issue of the recent sea fight. He retreated pending the arrival of reinforcements, at the time keeping up his communications with the sea. Now that his reinforcements have ar-rived he will make most stubborn ef-forts to regain the lost ground. Mean-while, reports from Riga show there has been a resumption of the normal life of the city. The leading monasteries of Russia have asked and obtained permission to employ their workshops in making shells for the army. The military situation is viewed by Russian army officers with a de-gree of optimism, owing to the man-ner in which the Germans have been checked at the crossings of the rivers Liwiec and Krzna, east of the Siedlce- Lukow front. Confidence Is felt here that the Russians will be able to make any further eastward pro-gress of the invaders very costly to them. The apparent weakness of the Ger-man flanks has removed fear that the Russian army wonld be bottled up. Evidence of the seeming lack of-of-fensive power is found in the report-ed removal of a portion of the Ger-man troops from the Siedle-Lukow front to the Baltic region. Tea Killed Near London. The outskirts of London were raid-ed Tuesday night by Zeppelins. Sev-eral persons were killed, but the damage to property was' not impor-tant. Ten persons were killed and 36 injured. One Zeppelin Is believed to have been hit. The air raid was over the eastern counties of Eng-land. Kovno Taken by Germans. Kovno, one of the crucial points in the Russian defensive in the north, has fallen and the road to the Vilna, Warsaw and Petrograd railway now is open to the troops of Emperor Williams.' The capture of Kovno was another triumph for the German 16-lnch guns. With the fortress the Germans took more than 400 guns, and ac-cording to their account, an enor-mous quantity cf war material. This, however, is not the most ser-ious part of the matter to the Rus-sians. Besides opening the way to' Vilna, which is an open town and from which most of the inhabitants and everything that might be of use to the invaders have been removed, the fall of Kovno takes away the last protection, with the exception of the Russian field army, to the main line railway to the capital, and also, places the Germans in a position to threaten the flanks of the Russian armies retiring to the Brest Lltovsk line and those operating in southern Courland. FARMERS' ALLIANCE GAINS IN MEMBERSHIP.. Workman. Jr., the seven-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Work-man, of High Point, met a tragic death 'Saturday when he wad run over by an auto wood-sawing ma-chine. A front wheel and rear wheel passed over him. The father owns the machine and was running it along Seventh avenue in High Point when the boy fell from it and was crushed to death. The mother was ill at the time and was not told of the boy's death. • Found Man In Room.—Three y*oung women who have a room In the home of Mr. George J. Tates, on West Washington street, were great-ly terrified Monday night when they awoke and saw a man standing In their room. Their screaming brought a number of neighbors, but by the time they came the burglar had quietly walked out on the porch and gotten away. The room had a large window opening on the front porch, and the man had taken out thescreen and walked in. Destroyed 91 Stills.—Revenue Of-ficers under Col. W. H. Chapman, revenue agent here, destroyed 91 illicit distilleries during the month of July. Of this number 51 were In western North Carolina. 2? in the eastern part of the state and 13 in South Carolina. A big red ox and a dilapidated wagon were also taken in charge and will be sold. These were taken in WiIkes county. The nura? ber above does not include illicit dis-tilleries destroyed by state officers, of which there was a large number. funeral was conducted Tuesday af-ternoon by Rev. R. D. Sherrill at the residence, 617 West Lee street. In-terment was in Greene Hill cemetery. Mr. Pearce had been in bad health for some months, but the announce-ment of his sudden death came as a great shock to his friends and rel-atives. He had for a number of years been a member of Centenary Methodist church, and was also a member of a local K. of P. lodge. He is survived by his wife and one daughter, Miss Fannie Lee Pearce. Thousand Soldiers Drown. The British transport Royal Ed-ward was torpedoed and sunk by a German submarine In the Aegean Saturday and only 600 are reported saved out of 1,350 troops and 220 other persons aboard. The official announcement was made Tuesday: 'The transport Royal Edward was sunk by an enemy submarine in the Aegean last Saturday .morning. Ac-cording to the information at present available the transport had on board 22 military officers and 1,350 troops, in addition to the ship's crew of 220 officers and men. "The troops consisted mainly of reinforcements for the 29th division and details of the Royal army medi-cal corps. Full information has not yet been received, but it is known that about 600 have been saved." The loss of the Royal Edward Is a serious one just at this moment. The men it carried were not part of a new expedition, but were reinforcements for the 29th division on the G alii poll peninsula. The news came as a shock to the British public, who believed the submarine menace in the Aegean had been dealt with successfully. This Is the first occasion since the sinking of the battleship Majestic on Mky 27 that the German submarines, which made the long trip to the Dar-danelles, have scored a success. ' Persons who attended the twenty-ninth annual session of the North Carolina State Farmers' Alliance just concluded in Hlllsboro, report that the organization showed a gain in membership during the year just ended. The following counties were represented: Alamance, Bertie, Co- Iambus, - Cumberland: Edgecombe, Guilford, Harnatt. Johnson, Lenoir, Martin, Orange, Wake, Wayne, Wil-son and Warren. Officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows: President, M. P. Edwards, Speed, vice president, J. C. Bain, Wade; secretary and treasurer and business agent, J. H. Evans, Hlllsboro; lecturer, H. M. Cates, Graham. In legislative matters the alliance went on record as favoring the repeal of the crop-lien law; fav-oring segregation of the races in land-ownership; opposing the repeal of the 6 per rent Interest law or any modification thereof; opposing In-terference by the legislature with the rights of the judiciary. PUBLIC SENTIMENT AGAINST EXECUTION OF A WOMAN. The sentence of death imposed on Mrs. Warren, in Forsyth Superior court, has started the talk about the execution of women. Some papers assert that never in the history of the state has a woman been legally executed, while others have heard ot only one. It may or may not be to our credit, but it is a tact that more than one woman has been e^cutod In the history of North Carolina. A woman, whose case Is yet discussed, was hanged In Burke county many years ago for the murder of her hus-band. Others have been executed 'sir.ee. but nbne within recent years. The sentiment Is strong now and it is strong enough to save a woman, no matter how aggravated her guilt; and the Landmark expects that sen Hment to save Mrs. Warren Statesville Landmark. Greece on Eve of War. Eleutherios Venlselos, who early in the year resigned the premiership of Greece because King Constantino did not share his belief that Greece should Join the entente powers in the war, has, after the return to power of his party in the chamber of deputies and resignation of {he cabinet of M. Gounaris, been requested by his monarch to form a new ministry. Venizelos has asked four days in which to consider his reply. While it seems apparent1 that the king and the former premier have reached an understanding as to Greece's future policy, what that policy is has aot become known. The political situation, not alone as regards Greece, but In all the other Balkan states, apparently re-mains In a chaotic state, although 1 .there are unofficial reports that the Teutonic allies arc massing troops in the south la preparation tor eventu- Big Gift by Bakes to Methodists.' In a letter published in the Ral-eigh Christian Advocate, from Bish-op'John C. Kilgo, to the Methodists of North Carolina, announcement Is made that Messrs. J. B. Duke and B. N. Duke, the North Carolina million-aires, will give annually to the work of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, in North Craolina, of which they are members, the sum of $35,- 000, this being the Interest on a fund of $700,000. The announcement states that $16,000 a year will be used for church extension work, $10,- 000 for home mission work, and $10,- 000 for the relief of aged Methodist ministers. These gifts are in addition to the millions given by the Dukes to Trinity College, the Methodist col-lege of North Carolina. The latest benefactions to the college are funds for the building of a stone fence about the college* campus, and other needed Improvements of similar na-ture. Mrs. J. S. Carr Dead.

Pearce was taken suddenly ill and died Monday morning. His body was brought to Greensboro and the The general activity which is com-pelling the Germans to give immedi-ate Attention to their northern half of the campaign has changed the character of the operations from Warsaw. The employment/of six German armies, or from 40 to 45 corps, over a front of 180 versts fac-ing Osowiec and Brest-Litevsk, shows that their future tasks In the woody, swampy zone of Poliessie, surrounding Brest-Litovsk to the southeast, excludes the possibility of their turning the Russian left flank. In the Baltic provinces, on the Rus-sian right, the Germans are now re-inforced, troops having been brought from Poland, where the army ot Woyrsch has been filled by Austrians. Serious battles are expected now in the Baltic region, where the enemy's aims latterly have been com-pelled to harmonize his operations with the issue of the recent sea fight. He retreated pending the arrival of reinforcements, at the time keeping up his communications with the sea. Now that his reinforcements have ar-rived he will make most stubborn ef-forts to regain the lost ground. Mean-while, reports from Riga show there has been a resumption of the normal life of the city. The leading monasteries of Russia have asked and obtained permission to employ their workshops in making shells for the army. The military situation is viewed by Russian army officers with a de-gree of optimism, owing to the man-ner in which the Germans have been checked at the crossings of the rivers Liwiec and Krzna, east of the Siedlce- Lukow front. Confidence Is felt here that the Russians will be able to make any further eastward pro-gress of the invaders very costly to them. The apparent weakness of the Ger-man flanks has removed fear that the Russian army wonld be bottled up. Evidence of the seeming lack of-of-fensive power is found in the report-ed removal of a portion of the Ger-man troops from the Siedle-Lukow front to the Baltic region. Tea Killed Near London. The outskirts of London were raid-ed Tuesday night by Zeppelins. Sev-eral persons were killed, but the damage to property was' not impor-tant. Ten persons were killed and 36 injured. One Zeppelin Is believed to have been hit. The air raid was over the eastern counties of Eng-land. Kovno Taken by Germans. Kovno, one of the crucial points in the Russian defensive in the north, has fallen and the road to the Vilna, Warsaw and Petrograd railway now is open to the troops of Emperor Williams.' The capture of Kovno was another triumph for the German 16-lnch guns. With the fortress the Germans took more than 400 guns, and ac-cording to their account, an enor-mous quantity cf war material. This, however, is not the most ser-ious part of the matter to the Rus-sians. Besides opening the way to' Vilna, which is an open town and from which most of the inhabitants and everything that might be of use to the invaders have been removed, the fall of Kovno takes away the last protection, with the exception of the Russian field army, to the main line railway to the capital, and also, places the Germans in a position to threaten the flanks of the Russian armies retiring to the Brest Lltovsk line and those operating in southern Courland.

Thousand Soldiers Drown. The British transport Royal Ed-ward was torpedoed and sunk by a German submarine In the Aegean Saturday and only 600 are reported saved out of 1,350 troops and 220 other persons aboard. The official announcement was made Tuesday: 'The transport Royal Edward was sunk by an enemy submarine in the Aegean last Saturday .morning. Ac-cording to the information at present available the transport had on board 22 military officers and 1,350 troops, in addition to the ship's crew of 220 officers and men. "The troops consisted mainly of reinforcements for the 29th division and details of the Royal army medi-cal corps. Full information has not yet been received, but it is known that about 600 have been saved." The loss of the Royal Edward Is a serious one just at this moment. The men it carried were not part of a new expedition, but were reinforcements for the 29th division on the G alii poll peninsula. The news came as a shock to the British public, who believed the submarine menace in the Aegean had been dealt with successfully. This Is the first occasion since the sinking of the battleship Majestic on Mky 27 that the German submarines, which made the long trip to the Dar-danelles, have scored a success.

PUBLIC SENTIMENT AGAINST EXECUTION OF A WOMAN. The sentence of death imposed on Mrs. Warren, in Forsyth Superior court, has started the talk about the execution of women. Some papers assert that never in the history of the state has a woman been legally executed, while others have heard ot only one. It may or may not be to our credit, but it is a tact that more than one woman has been e^cutod In the history of North Carolina. A woman, whose case Is yet discussed, was hanged In Burke county many years ago for the murder of her hus-band. Others have been executed 'sir.ee. but nbne within recent years. The sentiment Is strong now and it is strong enough to save a woman, no matter how aggravated her guilt; and the Landmark expects that sen Hment to save Mrs. Warren Statesville Landmark. Greece on Eve of War.

Gounaris, been requested by his monarch to form a new ministry. Venizelos has asked four days in which to consider his reply. While it seems apparent1 that the king and the former premier have reached an understanding as to Greece's future policy, what that policy is has aot become known. The political situation, not alone as regards Greece, but In all the other Balkan states, apparently re-mains In a chaotic state, although 1 .there are unofficial reports that the Teutonic allies arc massing troops in the south la preparation tor eventu- Big Gift by Bakes to Methodists.'
