train survivors carried water from &
nearby creek and put out the fire.

Raleigh.-T Thirteen per cent of tn
fires in North Carolina during tn,

causes purely and eighteen per cen

NO STARTLING BATTLES YET.
War Of Seven Nations Are Devoid Of
g Big Battle =

London.-No great battle has vet
been fought on land or sea in the war
of seven Nations, unless the German
assaults upon the fortresses at Liege
eventually assume the proportions of
battle in history. Both combatants
claim victory, there, with the Belgians
still holding the forts and the Ger
mans occupying the city.
The situation is unique. There is
no confirmation of The Daily Nails
report that the French have engaged
the Germans and cut off their re-
treat, inf1icting a loss of 5000 men.
The Belg1ans claim that they have
taken 5000 prisoners on Belgian soil,
but military men regard all the esti-
mates of the belligerents as great ex-
aggerations.
Apart from Liege the fighting of
the first week, when resolved to the
proper perspective eventually doubt
less will be considered insignificant.
One of the most important develop
ments in the eyes Of experts is the
general testimony that the German in
fantry formation is obsolete and in
effective against the weapons of to-
day and means an enormous slaughter

France and Austria finally are Of

the advance on Servia for a time and

BE CALM, !"
SAYS WILSON
President Appeals to Americans
To Be Cool in Crisis
SOUND CONDITIONS PREVAIL
In Measuring Statement, Says We
VIII Meet Difficulties and Aid
Europe, Too-United States
States Owes 1t to Mankind,

Washington.-President Wilson a
pealed to the people of the Unit,
states to remain calm during the w
in Europe. He declared the Unit.
States owes it to mankind to he
the rest of the world in the .prese]
crisis.
In a formal statement he said:
1T is extremely necessary, it is
manifestly necessary in the pres
ent state of affairs on the other
side of the water that you should
be extremely careful not to add
IN any way to the excitement.
"Of course, the European world
is in a highly excited state of
mind, but the. excitement ought
not to spread to the United
States. So far as we are con-
cerned, there is no cause for ex-
citement.
There is great Inconvenience,
for the time being, in the money
market and in our exchanges,
and, temporarily, in the handling
OF our crops, but America is abb
solutely prepared to meet the f.
nancial situation and to straighten
everything out without any ma
terial difficulty.
The only thing that can DOS
s1bly prevent it is unreasonable
apprehension and excitement.
If I might make a suggestion
to you gentlemen, therefore, 1
would urge you not to, give cur
rency to any unverified rumor to
anything that would tend to Gre
ate or add to excitement.
II think that you will agree
that we must all at the present
moment act together as Ameri-
cans in seeing that America does
rot suffer any unnecessary dis
tress from what is going on in
the world at large.
The situation in Europe is
perhaps the gravest in it's posi-
bilities that has arisen in modern
times, but it need not affect the
United States unfavorably in the
long run. Not that the United
States has anything to take ad-
vantage of, but her own position
Is sound and she owes it to man
kind to remain in such & condi-
ton, and in such a state of mind
that she can help the rest of the
world"

New York, June 90 Most of the
trivial gains of the opening were lost
before the end of the first hour. The
measure of the markets activity in
that period may be taken from the fact
that only about 10000 shares changed
hands. and the second hour was even
more apathetic. Indeed, up to noon,
quite number of the better known is
sues remained unquoted. Threats of
serious opposition to the Rock Island
reorganization plan accounted for the
heaviness of these issues. Traders
found no inducement to operate, their
