HOW RAILWAT SIGNALS YORK.

The Southern railway las recently
nut in service an aut lmat.c block sig
nal system to protect the double track
line between Danville, Va, and Pei
ham, N. , a distance OF 9.5 miles.
There are II signals in all of the up
per quadrant three position type To-
Gated approximately 1.75 miles apart.
The signals r operated with di-
rect current and are SO controlled that
the passage of a train sets he first
signal Immediately in its real in the
STOP position, displaying a red light
at night, and the second signal in the
rear in the CAUTION position with
Ia green light at night. Thus, the en-
gineer on the following train is con
tinually advised as to the location OF
the train in advance and ear control
the speed Of his train to avoid all col
lisions.
In addition to the rails being con-
neeted into the signal system all
switches and cross-overs are also ar
ranged TO set the signals in the STOP
POSITION when the switch is not closed
and properly looked; thus, the pres
ence OF a train, a broken rail, an open
switch, or practically any other con-
dition which would endanger a train
is indicated by the signals, providing
La very large measure of safety.
The i~nterlocking plant at Stokes
land which protects the junction OF
Southern Railway and the DanviIle &
Western has been aeduipped with an
E%nunciators anu ser1iSautomatic con
troll of the signals SO that the entire
line from Danville to Pelham is com
rietely equipped with a modern and
lup-to-date automatic signal system.

To make shades like that shown in.
the picture take lowered ribbon or

the width of the wire frame. Lay it in
plaits a little less than a half inch in

the other edge over the bottom wire.
Spreading the plaits evenly Is neces-

The Germans, it is thought, have
sent their best troops to the eastern
front and even In big guns the allies
appear to have the advantage. There
are no signs, however, of an offensive
on a large scale On the part of the al
lies, who doubtless are as badly in
need of rest a stheir opponents. In
fact, it is stated that officers and men
who have borne the brunt of the fight
ing in the trenches r being given a
short leave.
This, together with the cancellation
of the order for the removal of ship
ping from Dunkirk, is taken to indi-
cate that the allies consider their po-
sitions safe and that they do not con-
template an immediate forward move
n.ent.
For this reason, and because the rS.
| suit will have an important bearing on
the war, interest is still centered on
1.-The battles In Poland. AS has been
the case heretofore when important
events were impending, little news y
looming from either Petregrad or Ber-
Fin. 1t is knoWns however, that the
Germans are offering stubborn resis-
| lance to the Russian advance in East
Prussia.
General Won Hindenburg, comman-

strategists the war mas produced, are

GOV. CRAIG FOR AMENDMENTS.

Raleigh.-Governor Craig's cam
paign speeches this year will heartily
present the cause OF the constitutional
amendments.~
The governors opening political
speech will be in Statesville one week
fro mtomorrow, but it is doubtful
whether he will wait to make his
amendment speech. He opens the Dur
ham fair October 6 and while he has
a non-partisan audience that needs to
hear the plea made, he may do it.
Asked today for an interview on the
amendments, he said: 81 don't have
snything Of a special nature to say,
but I am going to advocate the emend-
ments both in nay political speeches
and in my other addresses. / am not
claiming any originality when 1 say
so, but I recommended these amend
ments in my inaugural address n
talked with all parties and nearly all
members of that general assembly.
They favored them, 1 had attended
many conventions, farmers and other
wise, and they gave me a hint Of such
needs as these. Our constitutional
commission was n~on-partisan and they
did thir work we'll. I am going to say
this-that in the light Of the long and
thorough discussion of the amend
ments last year, it is rather late for
opposition. to them now.
81 am not going to tell you anything
that 1 am to say, but I think I shall
discuss these amendments next week
at the fair. Why shouldn't I? They
are not partisan measures and that
wont be a partisan crowd. I didn't
mean to say anything about my pur-
pose, but I don't object to'saying this"

MIR. Wade Thankful He Read About
Mayr's Wonderful Stomach
Remedy,

E. r Wade of Williston, N. c., was
the victim of stomach disorders. He
tried many remedies and took a great
deal of medicine and treatments. Re-
lief seemed a long time coming.
Then he found Mayr's Wonderful
Stomach Remedy; took a dose-and
found relief at once. He told his opin-
ion of the remedy in a letter in which
he said:
your medicine has worked won
ders. 1 feel so much better. l am
thankful to you, indeed, for advertis-
ing your wonderful remedy in the pa
pers as otherwise / might never have
known of it."
Along with this letter Mr.. Wade or
dered more of the remedy. The first
dose proves-no long treatment. Let
ters like this come from all part of
the country. Mayr's Wonderful Stom-
ach Remedy is known everywhere be-
cause of it's merit.
Mayr's Wonderful Stomach Remedy
clears the digestive tract of muco1d
a~ccretions and removes poisonous
matter. 1t brings swift relief to suf-
ferers from stomach, liver n bowel
troubles. Many say it has saved them

are sure it has saved their lives.
We want all people who have
chronic stomach trouble or constipa--
ton, no matter of how long standing,

CHANGE EUROPE's MAP.
Englishman Says Next Duty is Not
S~ubjugatiOn; But Establishment
Of Freedom.

London.-After the war, then what
Eng1lshmen to a man expect Germany
: to be crushed in the present contest
and are busily engaged in discussing
vents which might follow a declara-
ton of peace.
In a recent recruiting speech Win
ston Churchill, first lord of the adj
miralty, warned England against max
ing the error Germany made in 1870,
when she had France lying PROSTATE at
her feet. He said: "Let US, whatever
we do, fight for and work towards
great and sound principles for the
European system. And the first of
those principles which we should keep
before us is the principle of n~ationali-
t1es-that is to say, not the conquest
or subjugation of any great commun-
1ty or of any strong race of men, but
the setting free of those races which
have been subjugated and conquered
and it doubt arises about disputer
areas Of territory we should try to
settle their ultimate destination in the
reconstruction of Europe which must
follow from this war with a fair re-
gard to the wishes and feelings of the
peoples who live in them"
Merely An Echo.
Mr.. ChurchilTs expression of the
opinion that Europe's map will be
thoroughly remade is merely an echo
of the talk of men of all classes. In
the windows of many shops are signs
Keep trade in the usual channels
while the map of Europe is being re.
made" Lecturers, preachers and edi
tors r constantly discussing the pro-
bable redistribution of European ter
ritory.
Doubtless Germans and Austrians
are also planning for the division of
territory that they expect to acquire
through the war and are arranging a
wholly different apportionment from
that contemplated by the allies. Fol
lowing the suggestion of Winston
Churchill many Englishmen, public
lists ad journalists are already turning
Alsace-Lorraine back to France, and
Schleswig-Holstein to Denmark, while
German Poland is regarded as terri
tory which should have it's own gov
eminent. But the English are not
Russian Poland away from Rus
STA and joining it with the section of
from which it was divorced
unwillingly.
Some difference of opinion exists
among Englishmen as to what might
be done with Trieste and the territory
Austria took from Italy: The mere
neutrality Of Italy is regarded by some
Britons as action which should be wei
rewarded, considering Italy's mem.
bership in the Triple Alliance with
which it refused to act. Bosnia would
be turned over to Servia in reward of
It's stand with the allies. Herzegovina
be given to Montenegro and
Transatlantic to Roumania.
