at Watauga Inn last Monday on
his way down the mountain.
Last Sunday, Rev. Mr.. Payne
met his new appointment here
both the Baptist and Episcopal
churches open at the same hour,
unavoidable, it seems, though
unusual as heretofore each church
has had it's own Sunday each
month, but Brother Payne was
obliged to give the third Sunday
to Cove Creek and so had to give
the first Sunday to this place or
give up this church altogether,
Brother Savage having had a
monopoly of the first Sunday for
twelve years past glad to share
it with his "Brother OF a sister

Waters back to this circuit. Du-

A Gas Heater Makes
a Room Comfortable

At this season of the year. when the
evenings are cool, gas can be used to advant-
age as heating fuel.
1t is too soon TO start the furnace fires
and yet there are times when little heat is
quite necessary.
Nothing can meet this need like Gas
Fireplace Heaters, Crates or Gas Logs. They
are always ready and give quicker and
cheaper results than coal.
We have variety of styles and the best
makes, at low prices, in our showrooms.

Germans Shell Enemy
and Keep Out of Sight

LONDON, Sept. IL (by mail to New
York; The terror of modern warfare
in lighting with long range guns and
facing fire from an invisible enemy is
wildly described by many of the
wounded who have reached here A
ance-corporal of the Connaught Ran
gers today told of the troops he was
with being in the line of battle for
three days before they saw a Ger
man.
THE disconcerting thing in the
present fighting with modern weapons
is that you may be in action for
hours without seeing the enemy"
said the corporal. Zone day we lay
for ten hours in the trenches with
shells dropping about us like rain.
We could see puffs of smoke along
the horizon and hear the constant
roar of the guns, but that was all.
Only when you got a bullet in the
arm or leg did you realize that you
were really in a battle. Though We
were under fire constantly, it was
three whole days before we actually
set eyes on a German. After that
there was plenty of hand to hand
fighting"

why HEADS OF HAIR ARE so
Different

Mature intended that every woman
should have a wealth of beautiful
hair-hair that can be arranged into
an attractive couture which accentu-
ates her beauty" writes Betty Dean,
beauty authority But so much de-
ponds upon the method of care, espe-
cially cleansing, that many fail TO
claim their right. If you use make
shifts instead of something designed
for shampooing only the scalp and
hair-follicles may suffer injury and
the hair grow dull brittle and fall
out. | have found that the easiest to
use and most economical shampoo
mixture is made by dissolving one
teaspoonful canthrox (Which | get
from any drug store) in cup hot
water. It gently, yet thoroughly, re-
moves every trace of dandruff. ex-
cess oil and dust and so energies the
hair-roots and delicate tissues that
they become strong and healthy.
After rinsing, the scalp is clean and
plant and the hair is soft, glossy,
easy to do up and so fluffy it looks
very, very heavy. These scalp stimu-
lating canthrox shampoos not only
promote healthy condition, but en-
courage an abundant and silky
growth of hair.

BATTLE OF A|SNE
MADE INTO SIEGE
BY KA|SER'S MEN
Germans Have Constructed MI.
merous Forts Between the
Disc and Meuse.
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON. Sept. 22.-The corre-
spondent of the Times In Paris, dis
cussing the big battle, says:
1.-The battle of the Aisne continues,
having lasted week with the allies
making slow progress against ex-
traordinary difficulties.
cit is no longer, properly speaking,
a battle, but a siege, the Germans
having constructed along their hun
dred-mile front a series of small for
tresses from the Disc to the Mouse,
made of old forts and disused quar-
ries.
"Bomb-proof shelters, formed of
bags of cement, and subterranean
passages connect the easements on
the heights of Pommiers with the
open country, by means of which the
enemy secures victuals and Is sup
piled with ammunition. These elab-
crate works were prepared by the
Germans before the march on Paris,
thus indicating that they had some
doubts of success.
THE plains of Champagne are adj
mirably suited for the French Of
fensive. They bristle with trenches
and redoubts, but if these hamper
French action they also stop German
attacks. The battle of the Aisne thus
becomes a kind of Sebastopol. Oper-
atoms of this sort always result In
the defeat of the besieged unless re-
Inducements arrive"

SECURITY ASSURED
NON-COMbATANTS
Germans Warn Towns Occupied
by Them to Restrain from
Hostilities.

LONDON, Sept. 22.-FolIowing is
the text of the proclamation pub
lished in French and said to be posted
in all towns occupied by the Germans.
"All the authorities and the NUM-
cipality are Informed that every
peaceful inhabitant can follow his
regular occupation in full security
Private property will be absolutely
respected and provisions paid for.
IF the population dare under any
form whatever to take part in hostil-
tiles, the severest punishment will
be inflicted on the refractory.
THE people must give UP their
arms. Every armed individual will
be put to death. Whoever cuts tel
egraph wires. destroys railway
bridges or roads or commits any act
in detriment to the Germans will be
shot.
Towns and villages whose inhab-
itants have taken part in the combat
or who fire upon us from ambush will
be burned down and the guilty shot at
once. The civil authorities will be
held responsible.

French Customs Claims
Delay Evacuation by
Gen. Funston's Army
By the United Press.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 22.-Repre-
sentation made by the French govern
ment regarding customs collections
made by General Funston at Vera
Cruz. it was learned today, are post
poning American evacuation of the
Mexican port. Until the financial
tangle is unraveled Funston will not
move his troops.
Part of the collections are claimed
by French financiers as security for
loan to the Huerta government.
That these claims should be satisfied
by Funston out Of Mexican funds he
has collected without being paid to
a Constitutionalist representative, is
the contention of the French govern
ment. Officials today disclaimed
knowledge and scoffed at reports of
a Villa uprising" in Sonora.
All consular advices, it was stated,
point to complete harmony between
Villa and Carranza. 1t WIS pointed
out that Villa personally telegraphed
such assurances to President Wilson
only few days ago. 1t was also
pointed out that the succession of
rumors of trouble between Villa and
Carranza originated at Eel Paso, where
a Huertista junta is I'm operation.
Secretary of State Bryan recently is
sued public warning against pla icing
credence in the FL Paso reports.

AUSTRIA BELIEVES
ITSELF BETRAYED
BY MILITARY MEN
Galicia Reverses Blamed on
Traitors in Ranks of Dual
Monarchy's Army.

VIENNA, Sept. 22.-The belief is
growing in official circles here that
the Austrian reverses in Galicia were
to large extent brought about by an
exact knowledge held by the Russian
war office of Austria's mobilization
and campaign plans, which had been
secured through an elaborate system
of espionage
claimed, discovered two years ago
that Colonel Alfred Redl. chief of the
general staff of the eighth Austrian
army CORPS had betrayed information
of vital Importance to Russia, and
although 1t is thought probable that
the Austrian general staff made
changes in their plans the military
experts think that the notifications
would not Rave greatly affected the
general basis of the campaign as
worked out.
Colonel Redl was found guilty of
being a traitor and on the advice of
brother officers committed suicide.
Austrian official reports continue to
give only scant details of fresh fight
Ing in Galicia.
There is a constant flow of Polish
refugees into Vienna. Several train :
loads arrived here Saturday and more
are reported on the way. The munich
pal authorities are experiencing great
difficulty in finding accommodations
for the large number of destitute, who
already aggregate 100000.
Farmers are unable to secure suffi-
cient labor to prepare for autumn
planting or to carry new grain to
the mills which are besieged with
orders for flour. Consequently the
price of grain has advanced % per
cent.
The temporary suspension of import
duties on grain, fodder, cattle and
meat is proving futile, owing to the
Agrarian party in Hungary, which is
contesting the admission of foreign
provisions
A shortage in the supplies of raw
cotton threatens to bring serious
losses to the cotton spinners, who are
trying to procure supplies from the
United States through Italy Italy
prohibits the expectation of cotton,
but it is thought she will permit sup
plies to pass through her territory.

tary Daniels said today he would
give the Marconi Company until to-
morrow to give assurance that it
would observe the naval neutrality
regulations in the operation of the

Mr. Daniels Saturday served notice

CRUISER PEGASUS
WAS S|LENCED IN
fifteen MINUTES
Guns of kaiser.s Warship, the
koenigsberg, Accurate and
Deadly in Action.

CAPE TOWN, Union of South
Africa, Sept. 22.-Further details have
been obtained here of the naval action
in the harbor of Zanzibar last Sun
day morning, when the British cruiser
Pegasus, under command of Captain
John A. Inglish, was attacked and
put out of action by the German CRUZ
ser Koenigsberg
1t seems that the Koenigsberg APP
preached Zanzibar harbor at full
speed at a. m. Sunday. She dis
abled a patrol boat with three, shots
and then opened fire on the Pegasus.
Her shooting was very accurate. She
commenced firing at 5000 yards, clos
ing in to 1000.
The Pegasus replied with all her
guns, but her artillery was disabled
in fifteen minutes. When her fire
ceased, there came a lull of five mill
utes, after which the Kroenigsberg
again opened fire for another quarter
of an hour. The Pegasus was unable to
reply Nearly all the casualties on
board the British boat occurred
around her guns and on her upper
deck. She was badly injured on the
water line and listed heavily. ne
flag of the Pegasus was shot away
twice, but each time it was rails ID
again and held up by her marines.
Apparently little or no damage was
sustained by the Koenigsberg.

Indignant
on American Attitude
of Rheims Destruction

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-The Stats
Zeitungs evening edition, in its lead
ing article yesterday, expressed it's
impatience with American indigna-
ton over the destruction of Rheims as
follows:
THE daily lamentations here over
the atrocities, the barbarities of the
Germans are dictated by English hy
pocrisy. The Americans who today
profess to be so indignant over the
bombardment of Rheims have plain
ly forgotten what Shermans March
to the Sea- was.
Atrocities! Enough of this whining
of English hypocrisy because some
thing beautiful has been destroyed
by bullets and explosives. No one re-
grets it more than we do. But you
who claim that you represent the
unhyphenated press of America, but
who stand in the ban of London,
whose every hypocrisy you echo,
whose every news atrocity you blind
ly accept-you have no right to boast
OF your dignity as free, enlightened
men.
ITO far greater degree than the
East Prussian peasant, reared in
'militarism;' before his noble squire
you humble yourselves in the dust
you devoted subjects---before every
roue of an English duke who marries
an American heiress because his cred
itors are pressing him. You boast of
Our American duchess as though
some favor had been vouchsafed to
you free Americans. Every shabby
baron finds hearing here, though
across the ocean they gaze contemp-
tuously askance at him.
And what about atrocities in your
own house? Sweep before your own
door! Then, first, may you presume,
you hypocrites, you devotees of Eng
lish hypocrisy, to criticise the barb r.
isms and lack of freedom of other ma
lions. Have the already faded, those
bushes of shame that mantled your
cheeks because of the graft atrocities
in circles high and low in the admin
istration of the New Haven railway.
graft atrocities which prevail in every
city, in every police force? What sig
nifies the destruction of a cathedral
of the middle ages, no matter how
beautiful. when in your m ,dern tenn
pies of God your Parkhursts are al
lowed to preach English Hypocrisy

TELLS OF GERMANS
FIRING ON HOSPITAL
Shell Struck Room in Which
Doctor Was Operating,
b Says Head Nurse.
Rx the Assoclated Press.

BORDEAUX, Sept 22.-11:45 a. M
Madame Paul, head of the French
Women's Ambulance Corps, has sent
a report to the government from
Etain in the department of Meuse in
which she described the bombardment
of hospital at that place by the Ger
mans on August "a.
The first shot from the German ar
tillery Madame Paul declares, brought
down the Red Cross flag on the roof
of the building and a fragment of this
same shell shattered a basin at the
side af a table upon which DR.. Proust,
of Paris, was operating on a serious
case. The doctor then moved into a
room in another wing of the building
in which were five wounded German
soldiers. The shells began to fall fast
er and finally this section of the
building had to be abandoned. The
wounded were moved to Verdun,
twelve miles away.
