and Rev. W. M. Curtis, secre-tary
of Greensboro College for Wo-men,
w<?re present and laid before
the meeting the need of the college
for additional dormitory accommo-dations.
It was stated that another
dormitory to accommodate about 75
pupib is badly needed. The follow-ing
were appointed members of a
committee to assist the college au-thorities
in raising funds for the pro-posed
new building: E. P. Wharton,
J. E. Latham, J. Norman Wills, C. H.
Grantiam and E. Godbey. »
President Wallace, of Bennett Col-lege,
told of the need of a steam heat-ing,
plant <n the girls' dormitory at
his institution. The following com-mittee
was appointed to assist the
Bennett authorities in supplying the
need: J. M. Hendrix, J. J. Stone, R.
C. Bernau, H. R. Bush and J. W.
Patterson.
Th<> question of providing an ade-quate
auditorium at the State Nor-mal
and Industrial College was con-sidered
at some length by the meet-ing,
and it was decided that the Mer-chants'
Association and the Chamber
of Commerce would render every as-sistance
possible in supplying this
needed addition to the institution.
The present auditorium at the Nor-mal
College is barely large enough
to accommodate comfortably the stu-dents
and faculty. It.is deainadU>

several thousand people.
RAIN INTERFERES WITH
CENTRAL CAROLINA FAIR.
Serbia is being attacked from the
north and the east. The Austro-Ger-mc.
is, after their capture of Belgrade
and Senvmdria, are advancing south-ward,
while the Bulgarians have sent
forces to endeavor to interrupt com-munications
north and south of Nish,
th« war time capital of Serbia, and
attack the Serbs on the Hank if Liey
are driven back by German Field
Marshal von Mackensen.
The situation is admitted to be a
very serious one, not only for Serbia,
but for the allied cause. It is as-serted
that the Serbians are inflicting
very heavy losses both on the Austro-
Germans and Bulgarians, but with
their army of about a quarter of a
million men they are believed to
have little chance of making any pro-longed
resistance against three or
four hundred thousand Austro-Ger-»
mans and probably 200,000 Bul-garians.
They are arranging for the
transfer of the capital to Monastlr.in
the extreme southwestern corner of
the kingdom.
Greece apparently has decided to
ignore the treaty under which she Is
supposed to go-to the assistance of
her Serbian ally in case of an attack.
Premier Zaimls having said when of-ficially
notified of the Bulgarian at-tack
that Greece "remains in a posi-tion
of armed neutrality."
The followers of the quadruple
entente, however, have decided to
take energetic action. As soon as the
news of the Bulgarian attack on
The Central Carolina fair opened
Tuesday under favorable circum-stances,,
and everything ran along as
merrily as.the proverbial wedding
bell until-yesterday afternoon, when,
soon after the races started, a shower
of rain drovfe- the people on the
ground* to shelter and prevented
hundreds of others,from going out
to the fair. Everybody hoped for
^better luck today, which was to have
been 'the "big" day of the fair, but
the weather man most unkindly sent
more showers to damper, the enthu-siasm
of the folks and lessen the at-tendance.
Those who have visited the fair
pronounce it an exhibition really
worth while. Every department is
filled with a line of creditable exhib-its,
many of them being especially
attractive. w
I0RE ARMENIA* MASSACRES
ATROCITIES RENEWED WITH
VIGOR SINCE BULGARIA
HAS ENTERED. WAR.
Armenian massacres in Asiatic
Turkey have been renewed with vigor
since Bulgaria's entrance into the
war as Turkey's ally. This Informa-tion
has reached the state depart-ment
at Washington from Ambassa-dor
Morgenthau, who stated that the
majority of the Armenians In Asiatic
Turkey had been killed.

RECOGNITION OF THE
CARRANZA GOVERNMENT.
. , Washington, Oct. 13.—-Haste to
complete 'formalities of Carranza'*
recognition was evident here today.
The administration will probably not
wait to select and appoint a new am-bassador.
It is expected a formal
statement will be issued soon from
the White House.
While an embargo on shipment of
arms to Villa's territory kas not yet
been relmposed, for all practical pur-poses
such an order is in effect. Cus-toms
officers are, on their own au-thority,

to be found in such olaces, 'while
the special free attractions promised
by the management come up to spec-ifications.
The first display of fire-works
was given last night and at-tracted
a good crowd of spectators.
Other displays will be given tonight
and tomorrow night.
Tomorrow, the last day of the fair,
is to be educational day, and if the
weather should be favorable, a great
throng.of people, including thousands
of thejeounty's school children, will
be present.
The educational exhibit, arranged
under the management of County Su-perintendent
Foust, is the largest and
best exhibit of the kind ever seen
here. "
would alienate the sympathies of- the
American people, no answer has been
received. '
Earlier representations were met
with the promise that those Armen-ians
who wished to leave the country
would be permitted to do so unharm-ed
and that Protestant Armenians
would be spared. Information recent-ly
reaching this country, however, in-dicates
that these conditions have not
been strictly adhered to. From one
quarter it was asserted that they were
"rescinded the next day."
Although $10,000 from private
subscription has been placed at Am-bassador
Morgenthau's disposal for
distribution among the Armenian
refugees, no arrangements have been
made for bringing Armenians to this
country, as was originally planned.
Those Armenians who were spared
are gathered In the country between
the Tigres and Euphrates rivers.
re-establishing the embargo is ex-pected
this week.
The state department has been no-tified
that practically all the South
and Central American countries will
follow the United States in recogniz-ing
Carranza. Guatemala and Brazil
are the only ones evincing reluctance.
The principal European nations have
also informally advised the state de-partment
that they will follow the
United States' lead.
While a hitch in the recognition
program is possible, awaiting formal
advices from other countries, this
government is proceeding rapidly to-ward
that end. If any unexpected
military or other development should
occur to weaken Carranza, it was
pointed out that the United States
and Pan-American nations are in a
present position to defer actual rec-ognition.

Mr. C. H* U in Atlantic
Serbia was received in London the
Bulgarian minister was handed his
passports, and M. Vivlani, the French
prime minister, declared that France,
Great Britain and Russia had decided
to take Joint action and that tomor-row
"Russian troops will be fighting
by the side ot purs." ■ i .
An Anglo-French force is known
to be landing In Salonlki, but there^s
considerable speculation as to where
Russia will enter the Balkan conflict.
It is reported that Grand Duke
Nicholas is to command the Russian
Balkan army, which it is believed in
military circles would make the Bul-garian
people less willing' to fight
against Russia, there being a deep
veneration among the Bulgarian
peasants for the emperor of Russia
and his family.
It is understood that Italy has de-cided
not to co-operate with the al-lies
in the Balkans, the Italian gov-ernment
being of the opinion that
troops cannot be spared for any cam-paign
than that in Trentino and
Triest.
Now that Austria and Germany
have entered on their Balkan enter-prise,
which is interpreted as the
first step toward an endeavor to se-cure
a German empire in the near
east, there can be no drawing back,
but the allies hope that, with a
vigorous offensive both on the east
and the west, they will be able at
least to prevent the sending of any
large reinforcements to Field Mar-shal
von Mackensen.
In Other War Centers.
The French in both the Champagne
and Artois regions of France con-tinue
tbeir offensive, but not on the
scale of the recent attacks. The Brit-ish
after their success in repelling
the German attack are preparing for
another move, but at what point only
the commanding generals know. Now
that they have started, it Is believed
that the British and French on the
western line will give the Germans
no rest.
It is much the same on the eastern
front. The Austro-Germans having
brought their offensive to an end, ex-cept
in the region of Dvinsk, the
Russians have recuperated wonder-fully
and are striking back In their
familiar way. The Germans claim
another success west of Dvinsk, but
they are still'fighting to the west of
Illoukst. They also announce that
Russian counter-attacks have been
repulsed south of the Pripet river, in
Volhynn and in Galicia.
The Russians seemingly have en-tirely
regained the initiative, especial-ly
in Galicia. Here it! is reported
from Petrograd that the Russians
have won a victory' on the River
Stripa. #The territory on which this
battle was fought marks the extreljae
left of the Russian battle line. The
Russian offensive on this front started
several weeks ago, when adooserti

Richmond, Va., Oct. 13.—A party
of North Carolina tobacco planters
arrived in Richmond this* morning
from Ontario, Canada, where they
have been employed by the Canadian
government all summer, instructing
the Canadian tobacco raisers in the
science of curing bright leaf tobacco.
This class of tobacco Is now being

Erie.
These gentlemen state that the
crop is matured in three , months

England May Extend Contraband.
Washington, Oct. 12.—The state
department was taken aback today by
the information contained in press
dispatches that Sir Edward Gray had
announced in parliament the inten-tion
of the British government to
place on the contraband list all cot-ton
piece goods, cotton products and
all materials susceptible of use in
the manufacture of munitions of war.
It was Indicated that this develop-ment
may cause a revision of the
general note to Great Britain on tke
subject of trade interference, which
is now before President Wilson, and
that much stronger language than it
at present Contains maybe employed
onea •with1' 2V other promffieht-A*^
menians. Later he was taken to Sl-vas,
where he died. On June 26
many of the prominent men of the
city were taken to the joidiers' bar-racks^
until the total numbered
1,215.
At a place three hours distant from
the city all these men were brutally
slain by the gendarmes and by mur-derers
released from prison for the
express purpose of preying on Ar-menians.
The writer also tells of the whole-sale
deportation during July of 12,-
000 persons of that " section of the
city nearest to our institutions."
"A government officer," the writer
continues, "declared that the destina-tion
of the exiles was a city five or
six hundred miles distant in the des-ert
regions of Mesopotamia. These
same officials declared it was practi-cally
Impossible for any of the people

"The town of Samsoun was simi-larly
emptied of its' Armenian popu-lation,
also all other towns and vil-lages
in the vicinity of Msrsovan.
"The last of August, along the rail-way
from Angrra to Constantinople, I
saw 60,000 Armenians without ade-quate
supply of food and no means
of shelter. At Merkedjie alone the
itationmaster told us there were 30.-
000 exiles. Many were weak from
hunger, others almost dead."
•the writer says that the Armenian
consul «at told that the Turkish gov-ernment
intended to exterminate the
Armenians. "He further said." the
professor continues, "that when tho
Armenians were disposed of the
Greeks would be similarly treated
and after that the foreigners. A like
statement was made by Enver- Pa-sha,
the minister of war. to our am-bassador.
Mr. Morgenthau.
The motive for these prosecutions,
according to government officials,
was th# fear that the Armenians
would strike them (the Tvrks) In the
back while they were lighting their
foreign enemies. Their motive was
mixed. There was in it a large nle-ment
ot religious fanaticism, a greed
for loot, and a bestial lust.

The guards captured two "intru-ders,"
