EITEL PREPARED
FOR SUDDEN RUN
Commerce Raiders Dash
for. Sea Expected by
Dawn To-day.

tFrom a star Correspondent of The Trbun.)
Newport News, Va, April 6.-The
converted cruiser Prinz Fitel Fried
rich is preparing to leave Newport
News tonight. II is believed she will
pass out of the 'cspes just before dawn.
The exchange of official calls between
Commander Thierichens and the naval
and port officials, it was learned late
tonight, ware formal and final fare
wells. Contrary to custom, the Custom
House was kept open, and code mes
sages were being sent constantly by
wireless between the Norfolk Navy
Yard and the Alabama. moored off Sc
walls Point. The Alabama is stripped
for action and will probably convoy
the raider to the capes. Her powerful
searchlights are sweeping the fairway
to prevent any British merchantmen
from stealing out to warn the British
cruisers. All formslities for the raid
er's departure have been arranged.
The raider, which had been brightly
lighted ever since her arrival here, was
in total darkness tonight. Smoke
arose slightly from her forward fun
mel and the guard of coast artillery
men was doubled on the pier.
All this preparation was observed by
the British freighter Horseley, tied up
along the same pier to which the Eitel
is moored. She displayed no signals,
but some three hundred yards TO the
southeast a British freighter was OBJ
served signalling with the Morse code
from her foremast.
At white light appeared on the main
mast at 1890, but the raider herself
was in darkness, and she did not use
her searchlight when a press launch
went by All lights were extinguished
on the navy tug at her stern, including
the red mast light, which has been dis
played nightly since she took up her
place Of guard, q week ago.
The night is clear and the water like
a sheet OF glass.

Cross Rostok to Hun
garian Side of Range and
Capture Two Villages.
KAISER WEAKENS
WESTERN FRONT
Germans Hurried to Aid Aus
trians-French Make Onrush
to Capture ST. Mihiel.

London, April 6.-The Russians have
made still another advance on their
front from Uzsok TO Bartfeld, in the
Carpathiens, according to the official
report issued tonight in Petrograd.
The advance was particularly effective
in the district Of the Rostok Pass.
Hero the Russians crossed to the Hun
garian side of the slope and captured
the two villages of Smoinik and OrosE-
russka.
Although the French are conducting
a sustained and somewhat formidable
defensive between the Meuse and the
Moselle in an effort to dislodge the
Germans from ST. Mihiel, the southern
most point Of their line, the demeanor
of the allied armies as whole indi-
Gates a disposition to await the out
come of Russia's gigantic plan TO force
the Carpathian barrier.
Germany is thought to be pouring
troops into Hungary, even to the eX-
tent of weakening her forces in Flan-
ders, and to-night's Austrian Official
communication notes the presence and
recounts the success OF German and
Austrian troops in the the Laborcza
Valley.
There is less talk in England of the
spring advance of the Allies in France
and Belgium, and an increasing ap-
probation Of the task Russia is at
tempting.
This leads 10 the belief in some
quarters that the leaders of the allied
armies in the west, reckoning on the
heavy cost incident TO smashing the
German line there, may perhaps seek
only 70 hold their ground, in the be-
lief that the Russians will succeed IN
invading Hungary, ultimately 20 join
hands with the allied forces working
northward through Servia.
Thus what their opponents regard as
the weakest Of the Teutonlc allies,
Austria Hungary, would be invaded
without the loss of life that an at
tempt to drive the Germans from
France and Belgium would entail.
Meanwhile. it is argued, the bonn
bardment OF the Dardsnelles will be
continued, as the shortest. II the most
costly. method Of crushing Turkey. Re-
ports that Smyrna has again been bonn
barded lack Official confirmation, and
the absence Of news from the Darda-
nelles is taken by some 20 mean that
important operations are under way.

Chosen President by Con-
vention Delegates, He En-
phasizes Need Of More
Governmental Control in
State Laws.
N g1zx-zN,a.

Iron Star Correspondent o. The Tribune
Albany. April GA new constitution
containing many important changes on
progressive lines was promised the cit,-
zens of New York State to-day by
Fihu Root after he was unanimously
chosen president Of the Constitutional
Convention. lie said that where
changes were needed they should be
made fearlessly.
"The most obvious duty before us"
said Mr.. Root, is to scrutinze atten-
lively the framework of the state gov
crnment to ascertain in what respect,
if any. the established institutions are
insufficient or ill-adapted to accomplish
the ends OF government. Great changes
rave come in the industrial and social
life of the state since the last conven-
ton. To attain the ends which every
one agrees ought to be attained it ap-
pears necessary that government shall
interfere to a much greater extent than
in former times with the complicated
and interdependent life of the people"
The convention was called to order
in the Assembly Chamber at noon by
the Secretary of State. who swore the
delegates on Bible used by William
Blackstone, the great English jurist.
FLOYD J. Adams, of Brooklyn, had the
honor OF nominating Mr.. Root for pres
ident. Seth Low, the second delegate
recognized, in eulogistic speech. also
nominated Mr.. Root. John +. Ahearn,
of Manhattan, nominated Morgan j.
O'Brien, but this was merely a COM
pliment, as twenty of the ffty-two
Democrats voted for Mr.. Root, and the
election was made unanimous.
When Mr.. Root took the gavel ne
f.ced one Of the most representative
bodies ever assembled at Albany. A
handful. picked at random, will give an
idea of the type of men in whose hands
lie the remouldng of the states laws.
This handful comprised Delaney

man Bracket. Michael J. Drummond,
William Barnes, Martin SAKE, William
N. X. Olcott, Thomas NJ. Mulry, Fred
erick {. Tanner, Jacob Gould Schur-
man. Henry l.. Stimson, William F.
SLeehan. Lemuel 4. Quigg, John 3.
Stanchfeld. Louis Marshall, Andrew j.
Shipman. Eugene Lamb Richards, James
\ FOLEY and Alfred +. Smith.
-Four of the delegates were delegates
at the last convention, held twenty-one
years ago. They were Mr. Root, De
ianccy Nicoll, Charles S. Merenes and
Louis Marshall.
The non-partisan spirit of the con-
y,ntion was best shown when no floor
leaders were chosen. In their stead were
selected two vice ce-presidents-Jacoh
Gould Schurman, president of Cornell
University, a Republican, and Morgan
]. O'Brien, a Democrat.
The rules OF the convention OF 1924,
with sli ht amendments, were adopted.

Now it so happens that Page has
a real grievance. He has given
Kings Mountain the best paper it
has ever had-by far Also he
has built up respectable circula-
ton.
Kings Mountain, our splendid
sister town, is really good town,
in normal times,-but like so many
other towns in the United States, it
got hit by the war; and suspect
that it has merchants who are as
hard up as Editor Page and have as
big grievance against fate.
If times were good, Page woul d
have more ads than he could handle
, Our advice to Brother Page is to
hunt a bigger town.
| When Kings Mountain gets in
better shape, it will send for Page
to come back and be one of the
boosters.

EDITOR RECOGNIZES LACK OF SUPPORT
and MAKES COMPLAINT.
(ShelbV Highlander.)

\OnelDV T1l8nIdIlueE.)
Our contemporary, Brother Page
of the Kings Mountain Herald, last
week gave vent to his long stand
ing and but partially pent-ud feel
ings. resulting from pitifully made
quate support from his home mer-
chants.
His case is more typical than it
should be, and earns the ympathy
of his fellow-journalists, wherever
they may be located.
He opens bis editorial column
with the following choice bit:
How came?
How came what?''
The Herald to have only four
pages this week."
Simply because the business
men of Kings Mountain didn't help
us to make it bigger"
This is plain speaking to say tn e
least.
But he reserved for his leading
editorial his hottest shot, as follows:
The Herald goes to about sixty
different towns in North Carolina
and to as many in other States as
to the Philippine Islands. Suppose
a man who has never visited here
picks it up, what impression does
he get Of the town? No grocery
store, no drug store, no hardware
store, no flour mill, no hotel, nc
