Va5;,ington, Oct. 27.—The nation , * thrilled today by word that v lerican troops at last were face to '. e with the Germans across No-il -n's-Land. Announcement by Gen- -,1 prrshlng that several battalions 1,U infantry were in the front line j-.nohM. supported by American bat- ...jes which already had gone in ac- ■ n against the enemy fammed anew • nie of patriotism throughout the .-lntry. ' The absolute silence with which f rretarj Laker and war department iciaU greeted the news, however, j-jwed that although the movement -;::o tiie trenches had teen expected s; any time it was regarded only as ; ■■ final phase of the men's training. ,:<rii*n shells are breaking about :-■ Americans and although they V ve not taken over the trench sec- :•-. rifle*, machine guns, bombs and ...vends in American hands will greet any enemy attack. The silence of Secretary Baker in-dicated that no official report of the -capation of the trenches had been -■ eived. General Pershing is the ; .1st of all matters pertaining to the : lining of his force and he probably i i not inform the department of his j ins in advance, as every effort was :ade to prevent the enemy from . jrning what was afoot. It is cer- ;.in. however, that the department >-u fully prepared for the news. Sec-tary Baker's latest review of the • ir situation this week indicates ; a; American troops in France were : 'jr'.ng the end of their strenuous raining behind the lines. May Expect Casualties. Casualties among the American : roes are to be expected. Reports .sat the front already show lnter-ttent artillery firing and a well-s ved shell may claim American yic- \ .,.■ at any moment. There ie noth- .:; to indicate, however, that an of- :'-isive operation by the Americans d their French associates is to be tpe?ted, outside of possible trench riiu'ng. The sector where the front . :e training school has been estab- <hed is described as one of the tletest on the front. The report from the front indicates au all American forces will he :fren trench duty in reliefs as the "aal touch of their preparation. The 'die business of relieving and sup- :-„;i»S the front lines can be carried ."*- under actual war conditions and ".alet fire. In time, a complete section of the ■ ':nt will be Americanized in every stall. How wide this front will be -ere on the long line it is to be lo- *ted. and similar questions are mat- 's about which no speculation is '■mitted. AMERICAN STEAMER FIGHTS WITH U-BOAT. Washington. Oct. 26.—An an- 'ancement by the navy department a-'e today revealed that the ship 'i''i fought a battle with the sub- ■ •arlne off the French coast was one the American Luckenbach steara- '* and that the fight occurred on ►Sober 19.

Scott, before United States Commissioner Cobb to-day. The bond was given immediately by A. S. Banes, of Winston-Salem. The testimony of Scott was that last September the witness and Private Meneke met Miller in Charlotte, Miller being In an auto with two girls Emma Vlckers and Linnie Mclntuff, of Winston. Miller, the witness said, gave them whiskey then. On the night of October 23 Scott and Meneke, with two companions from the camp got an auto and drove to the Twin City.

GEORGE W. WATTS, OF DURHAM, MARRIED. Durham. Oct. 26.—George W. Watts, multi-millionaire and Dur-ham's weslthiest cltteen. was mar-ried to Miss Sarah V. Ecker at noon today in Syracuse. New York. The arrangements for the nuptial cere-mony were secretly executed, only the closest friends of the contract-ing parties having knowledge of the wedding day. This brief telegram from John Sprunt Hill to his brother. I. F. Hill, told of the noon-day wed-ding vows: "Mr. Watts was married at noon today to "our old friends, Miss Sarah V. Ecker. Annie and I return to New York tonight." The bride is a trained nurse from Johns Hopkins hospital, and is a member of a well-known New York itate family. Her acquaintance with the distinguished Durham citizen was formed some years ago when she spent several months in the home of Mr. Watts nursing the sick. Al-though she has been residing in Bal-timore, for several years, she is a .nember of a Syracuse family. The wedding ceremony was performed in Syracuse at the residenc3 of her mar-ried sister. Mrs. Watts is tall, grace-ful and possessing many charming qualities. VCML90—HO. 06 ERFUL DRIVE—GERMANS GET BEST OF ITALIANS. Paris, Oct. 27.—-Another powerful drive by the French troops today on the Ypres-Olxmude road resulted in the capture of several villages and a great number of fortified farms, ac- tlons throughout the nation rounded cording to tonight's announcement by the war office. An additional ad-vance was made along the Alsne front, including the occupation of Froldmont farm. Italy's Mettle Tested. Italy's mettle is being critically tested by the tremendous teutonic drive under command of Emperor Charles, of Austria, on the Ieonzo front, with what seems virtually the entire Austrian array and strong Ger-man forces. From the first blow. General Ca-dorna's second army has suffered a serious shock and Berlin claims the defeat of this section of the Italian forces from which it announces the capture of no less than 60,000 men and 450 guns. These grave losses seem to bear out the German claim as to the fate of this Italian army, but apparently the crucial hour has not yet come which will determine whether the Austro-German host can be held at the mountain passes and prevented from overflowing into the plains of Venecia. Semi-official utterances-reveal that all possible preparations have been made in Rome to meet the great emergency. Each day. however, sees the Invading armies making addi-tional headway. Commanding Ital-ian heights along the border east and northeast of Tolmino are begin-ning to fall, while Berlin claims that virtually the entire Italian Isonzo front has shaken. From the western front the most important news of American troops in the first line trenches alongside French infantry-men, and of' 4meiHcun artillery witb, French batteries sending the first American aimed shots of the war at German lines. These troops have not taken over the quiet sector in which they are stationed but are under French direction. The first state-ment issued from American head-quarters in France reported the men adapting themselves most satisfac-torily. The British in Flanders were en-gaged Saturday in making secure the positions they won Friday, the most important of which was that on the Bellevue spur, west of Paaschendae-lem, a valuable dominating ridge brilliantly taken and held by the Canadians in hard fighting. State Prison Warden Convicted and Fined. Raleigh, Oct. 25.—The Wake Su-perior court jury this afternoon re-turned a verdict of guilty against Warden Busbee. of the state's pris-on, in the case charging him with the unnecessarily brutal whipping of N. W. Smith, a former convict. The trial required two days. Judge Lyon imposed a fine of $100. Busbee ap-pealed. Teddy's Friends Working. Washington, Oct. 26.—That it is a new campaign by friends of Colo-nel Roosevelt to obtain for him com-mand of a division in France is the general interpretation here of a movement to secure his appointment as chief recruiting officer in New England. Governor McCall, of Mas-sachusetts, was to put the latter pro-ject before Secretary of War Baker today. Escaped Germans Recaptured. Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 26.—Six of the 10 German prisoners who escaped from the alien enemy detention camp at Fort McPherson Tuesday night, were captured"'toflajr by agents of *he department of Justice. Five were taken at Surrency, Ga.. and the sixth, Johann Adelhardt, a non-commto.Um- "*■-. °.f landing ed officer, was arrested here. exfedltionary force,. Smaller Coins Driven Out. Chicago, Oct. 26.—Pennies and subsidiary silver coins are scarce, not only in Chicago, but elsewhere, ac-cording to Robert I. Hunt, in charge of the subtreasury here. Increase in business throughout the country is given as the reason. The subtreas-ury here has not received any pennies from the mints since October 1, Mr. Hunt said. Subsidiary coinage in circulation in the country has increased from $67,982,801 in 1879 to $202,061,897 on October 1, 1916. The output this year has been $16,551,-000, an in-crease of more than 800 per cent over the production to this date last year. Mr. Hunt aald the mints are work-ing twenty-four hours a day in an ef-fort to keep up with the demand. Robeson Farmers Prosperous. Lumberton, Oct. 26.—It is well with the farmers of Robeson county. While the cotton crop is only around 60 per cent of a normal crop, the high prices are making up the defic-iency. Many of the farmers raised tobacco this year and received un-heard- of prices for the "weed." The corn crop' is good and most of the farmers will have meat and corn to last them through next year. ED UP SATURDAY, MAKING TO-TAL OVER $0,000,000,000. Washington, Oct. 27.—The Liberty Loan apparently has passed the $5,- 000,000,000 nna>k. '. A last day drive of titanic propor-up more than $1,000,000,000 and was believed td have carried the to-tal several hundred million dollars beyond the maximum sum treasury officials had honed for. Federal reserve banks were strug-gling tonight igider an avalanche of last minute alfcscrrptlons to form some idea of toe grand total. Indi-cations are that they will not com-plete their tabulations for several days. At least j 8,000,000 persons throughout the country wrote their names on application blanks. Ho-w many more did so will not be known until the final count, several days hence. The number may go a3 high as 10,000.000. Each of tha^welve district*; ap-peared to hav« passed its minimum and indication)) were that most of them had exceeded the maximum as well. MERGER OF ^UTHERAN CHURCHES NEARER. Philadelphia Oct. 26—Amalgama-tion of the thtee great bodies of the Lutheran church was brought a step nearer today by the action of the general council of the Evangelical Lutheran churches, in session here.. The council unanimous'.}- approved the proposed merger of the general council, the general synod and the united synod of the south into one body to be called the United Luth-eran church in America. The general synod endorsed the proposed union last June and dele-gates from tttn^aauthern body today predicted" "-ffiffimous approval by their synod when it meets in Novem-ber to consider the proposal. Should the action of the United Synod of the South be favorable, the proposal then would have to be submitted to the 24 local synods throughout the coun-try'. A two-thirds vote of these local bodies is necessary for adoption. Many of the local synods have al-ready endorsed the merger. GERMAN PEOPLE FACE A , WINTER OF SACRIFICES. Copenhagen, Oct. 26.—Some of the prospects which the German people are called upon to face the earning winter are officially announced in to-day's German newspapers, as fol-lows: There is only enough shoe leather for the use of miners, fishermen, ca-nal workers and a few allied trades. 'te manufacture of leather footwear for the rest of the population will >oon be suspended. They will have to get along with wooden soles and cloth uppers. There is a big shortage in vege-tables and no hope of any material improvement in the fresh vegetable supply. The turnip must again be one of the main stays of German diet this winter although to a less- de-gree than last year. The fuel problem has not been solved, despite all the efforts made for its solution, and the city popu-lations may expect to notice the re-sults of this fact keenly from time to time. The coal commissioner prophesies that the pinch wil! be felt here and there within the next few days. The railway administration of Saxony announced that railway-travel will not be allowed withou-special permission. Finally, after the fashion plates for winter are out the government has decreed that women's skirts must be made with a reduced amount >f material, which will necessitate their being made both shorter and tighter. BELIEF FROM SHORTAGE OF SUGAR IS PROMISED. VESSELS ARE TO BE CHARTERED TO ITALY. Washington. Oct. 26.—The ship-ping board agreed today to charter to the Italian government approxi-mately 25 American commandeered steel ships, of an aggregate of 100.- 000 dead weight tons to relieve Italy's shortage of shipping to trans-port vitally needed supplies. This action was announced late to-day by Chairman Burley. of the board. Great Britain has been sup-plying France and Italy with ship-ping to meet its emergency needs, but cannot continue to do so in view of increasing British requirements. Italy has strongly represented its great need and she gets five more ships than were allotted to the French government a few days ago. Part of the ships chartered will be old and part new and some may be taken from those • on the way from the Great Lakes to the ocean. They will be used between the United Stats and Italian ports. Germans Were Astonished. Washington, Oct. 26.—The pres-ence of American troops in France ?aused great astonishment to the crews of the Zeppelins L-40 and L-50 brought down by the French last Saturday while returning from a raid on England. Official dispatcher to tli» state department said the pris-oo »re declared that not one of theni l-aew of the landing of any Americas Auction Fur Sales Total $2,500,000. New York, Oct. 26.—Sales of furs at advances of from 5 to 75 per cent over spring prices during the five days of the annual fall auction sale, which closed here today, totaled $2,- 500,000, it was announced. Ninety thousand skunk skins were sold today at prices which reached as high as $4.50 each. There was a sharp advance In the price of wolf skins, some of which sold as high as $16.50. Black house cats, which will be used in fur hats, brought the record prices of 74 cents each. Washington. Oct. 26.—Prompt re-lief from the prevailing sugar short-age in the east was seen here today in the food administration's an-nouncement that 200,000,000 pounds of Louisiana cane sugar had been j^rcha»ed_ by the American ^Sngar Refining Company "and 'wtrfhVtrshs-ported to refineries in' New York, Boston and Philadelphia. Sufficient tonnage to assure rapid movement of the crop already has been procured and the first cargo will clear from New Orleans next week. The refineries purchased the Lou-isiana holdings at a price approxi-mating 6 1-2 cents a pound. Add-ing transportation and refining costs it is estimated that the product will be placed on the market at 8.35 cents a pound on the eastern sea-board. This figure will gradually decline, it is believed, to 7 1-4 cents by the first of the year. Hawaii Doing Her Part. Washington. Oct. 26.—Provost Marshal General Crowder has re-ceived a telegraphic report from Governor Pinkham. of Hawaii, re-porting preparations for carrying out the selective service act completed and recommended November 5 for drawing the numbers. The total registration, it is said, is 26.37S of which only 8.076 are citizens or dec-larants. Hawaii already has furnished by-voluntary enlistment nearly twice her gross quota and is not required to furnish men under the present draft but the governor states there is a steady popular demand for a full ter-ritorial representation in the nation-al army. Snowstorm. Visits County of Watauga Boone, Oct. 25.—The first snow-storm of the season began Tuesday and on Wednesday was still raging over the county with a fury truly wintry.

Rio Janeiro, Oct. 26.—The cham-ber of deputies today, by an almost unanimous vote, declared th«t a state of war existed between Germany aad Brazil. The vote was 149 to 1.

After a debate on the opportuneness of proclaiming martial law, the president of the dip-lomatic commission spoke in favor of a law worded as Tallows: "A state of war between Brazil aad Germany is hereby aeknwledged and proclaimed. The president of the re-public :s authorized to adopt the measures enunciated in hie messigu of the 25t'i of October, and to take all steps tending to ensure national defense and public security." The virtually unanimous vote of the deputies was received with gen-eral acclamation. President Braz has sanctioned the proclamation of B state of war with tjerraany. According lo the new»pnpers. tor-pedo boat destroyers have mealffrd orders to proceed to Bahl.i and take possession of the Gerraati gunboat Boer, which has been lyin : there for some time.

POSITION OF RUSSIAN FORCES IS IMPROVING. ■ »•• ' Petrograd, Oct. 26.—In connection with the official reports that the Ger-mans are withdrawing some 20 versts to new lines on the Riga front. Gen-eral Teheremissoff, commander of the armies of the northern front, has reported to the government that the position of the Russian forces is im-proving. He said they had ir.inaged to prevent a furtheradvanc» and had secured the safety of all ways of en-trance to Petrograd. The armies ap-parently had "awakened to conscious-ness," he added. As a result of the .German with-drawal, apparently- for the purpose of straightening the line for winter per-manency, it is understood the provis-ional government has changed its views that the capital should be re-moved to Moscow immediately and that it will now proceed very slowly with the removal program. Cold Wave Coming. Washington. Oct. 27.—Next week • cold wave will sweep the country, the weather bureau forecasted today. Snow in the Great Lakes region, plains states and upper Mississippi valley and Rocky Mountain plateau region was predicted.
