Also in cluded in this number are all the youths who can fill the gaps when equipments reaches them from the Adriatic.
 German papers state that Field Marshal won Mackensen's army, with Bulgarians and Turks, is to be directed against the Anglo-F-rench forces in the south. but doubtless many of them are going down the Danube to meet the Russian menace. The public is expect ing every day to hear of the move ment of the Russian army, which the emperor recently viewed in Bessarabia but apparently the negotiations with Rumania for the use of the Danube have not been concluded. Budapest report goes so far as to say that Ru- mania has refused permission to the Russians to use the river through Ru- maniar territory, which would be the more convenient route for an attack on western Bulgaria.
 There also seems to be some hitch in the allies negotiations with Greece. for nothing is yet forthcoming as to the latter countrys reply to the latest demands for guarantees of safety and facilities for the entente armies op- erating near the Greek frontier. The Greek reply was expected yesterday and the delay in it's receipt leads to the supposition that the Greek cabinet is not prepared to go as far as the entente powers desire.
 Artillery, grenade throwers, miners, sappers and airmen continue their ac- tivities on the western front, and Brit ish monitors are also making things lively for the Germans along the Bel Sian coast.

PARIS, Nov. 3O.-GeneraI De La CroiX, one of the leading French mil ltary authorities, has a signed article in the Tempe this evening, in which he says the Balkan situation should not be regarded too darkIy. as the condition of the Serbian army. while critical, is not yet desperate. and that Ia resolute offensive by the entente .allies against Iskip and toward the Bulgarian capital may bring decisive turn of events.
 General De La CroiX points out that the AustrO- Germans have not at tempted a decisive test of battle. but have confined their efforts to over running the country with superior numbers. He declares that their plans failed in the main objective-the en- veloping of the Serbian army The army, although it has been driven westward, can still retire southwest by the Drina valley and effect a june ton with the Serbians in the south and with the allies
 To obtain substance supplies the writer says. is the main problem, but the Austro- Germans have the same problem before them, and it will soon inscrease as the snow soon will be from six to nine feet deep also.
 Tt does not seem to me" says Gen eral De La CroiX, that the situation should be viewed too darkly. The Serbian army is not vet beaten and its junction with the entente allies is not impossible. The Serbs still have 15O,OOO men and the allies 300 0000 available for resistance anG offensive"
 General De La CrOiX concludes with a strong appeal for a vigorous offen- sive by the entente allies in the Var dar valley, with its objective straight toward Sofia.

LONDON, Dec 1.-Monastir was formally surrendered to the Bulgarian5 on Monday, according to an Athens dispatch to the Daily Telegraph.
 On Sunday Colonel Vassitch. the Serbian commander. informed the Greek council of his intention to sur render the city without fighting in order to avoid useless bloodshed. A commission composed of the Greek and Rumanian consuls and his priests was appointed to negotiate with the Bulgars as to the handing over of the city, and the commission went to the headquarters of the nearest Bulgarian army for a conference
 Colonel Vassitch left Monastir by the last train for FIorina, while the British consul proceeded by automo- bile to Greek territory with the ar chives. Railway communication. adds the dispatch, has ceased between Monastir and Florina.
 According to a Saloniki dispatch to the Times, dated November 30. com munication with the Serbian telegraph director at Monastir continued up to that time, which seemed to indicate that the town had not then passed into possession of the Bulgarians.
 A dispatch to the Morning Post from Bucharest dated Tuesday says:
 "Feverish preparations are being made at Rustchuk on the Danube west of the Rumanian border to accommo- date fifty thousand Austro- German troops, who are due to arrive there shortly. Many officers with war ma terials already have arrived. Four Austrian monitors are patrolling the Danube along the whole length of the Bulgarian shore to where the Bulga- rian frontier joins that of Rumania.'
 Telegraphing from Athens, the Morning Posts correspondent says:
 "The Neon Asty. the organ of for mer Premier Gounaris, published a statement which it says was ob- tained from a diplomatic source. that Germany and Austria are preparing to warn Greece that if the demands of the entente allies are accepted and Saloniki is made the base of their military operations. the central powers will no longer regard Greek territory as that of a friendly state"

OAKLAND, Calf. Nov 3O.-Fred- crick s. Stratton, former collector of the port of san Francisco, was found dead near Pleasanton, Alameda county early tonight with q bullet wound in his head The body was found near the Southern Pacific rail- road tracks by an automobile party. A loaded revolver was beside the body.
 Stratton suffered nervous break down last April and was taken for treatment to a sanitarium at Liver more. Calf. where he had been un- dergoing treatment ever since. For the last few months he has been di- viding his time between the sani- tarium and his ranch at Alamo, in Contra Costa county.
 He left the sanitarium today for his ranch. At PIeasanton he visited a hardware store and tried to pur- chase a revolver, but was refused. the dealer told the coroner, on ac- count of the rambling explanation he gave. He was more successful at another store.

ans feats of arms have been accom- ] plished and events have occurred which, both from a military and dip | lOmatic point of view have been car ried through with splendid and un- surpassed certainty and which have enabled us in combination with our allies and with the Bulgarian army to avenge the murder of Sarayevo and to bring to an end, as we hope, for all time, Serbian intrigues which have proved to be so mischievous to Eu- rope.
 Tn close union of arms with the brave armies of the king of Bulgaria and he Bulgarian people we have crowned our victory. We welcome this from the bottom of our hearts The Serbian army has been triumph antly defeated. The Turkish army has lived up to it's old reputation and has brought about the failure of the Dardanelles enterprise.
 Proud England is troubled about the key to her supremacy. All our enemies have recognized that we are invincible on the battlefield so, the
 more eagerly do they cling to their hope to destroy us economically, to conquer us by hunger As they al- low themselves to be deceived re- garding our financial strength, which has been proved by the astonishing , results of our war loans so they have also been deceived in their estimate of our economic strength.
 We have corn for bread. Potatoes, the most important food of the peo-
 pie, are abundant. If in other things there may be a scarcity, as cannot
 be disputed, yet the hardships thus
 caused to a majority of the poorest population will be surmounted by the
 organization of the provision market.
 We therefore financially and econom-
 ically have every reason to contem-
 plate the future with firm determina-
 tion and unshaken confidence" The Reichstag then adopted the
 final reading of the bill, modifying
 certain features of martial law, giv-
 ing the option of fine instead of
 Imprisonment for minor offenses.
 There was no debate, although the
 socialist member, Herr Scheidmann,
 announced that the socialists might
 take up the question of certain abuses
 later in the session.
 Dr. Helfferich then introduced a bill
 requiring companies and corporations
 to set aside 50 percent of their extra
 profits during the war years to cover
 their ultimate taxation.
 There was no public reference to
 the question of peace terms during
 the days session.

 BERLIN, Nov. 90. CVia LondonD Dee. 1.-The opening of the Reichstag today was marked by an address of welcome by the president, Dr. Kaempfe in which he complimented Germany on the highly satisfactory military situation in the west and east and the successful conclusion of the Serbian campaigns, and a speech by the Imperial secretary of the treasury Dr. Karl Helfferich. in in troducing bill arranging the pre- Hminaries for the taxation of war profits.
 Dr. Helfferich urged the speedy discussion of the bill so that no war profits could escape taxation, and promised m actual measure on the taxation Of war profits for the next sitting of the Reichstag in March. He intimated that it would impose graduated scale of taxation based on the amount of the war profits, and also would include a tax on incomes which had increased dur ing the war. but he gave no indica- tion of the extent of the prospective taxation.
 The secretary said that the gov ernment itself has as yet reached no conclusion on the taxation rate and it obviously would be unfair to make it confisCatory, or to regard the project as some wish to do, as a punishment for daring to make prof it's during the war. The primary ob- ject of the measure was to raise revenue toward covering colossal ex- penditures for the war and for this purpose a considerable percentage of war profits must and should pass into the governments coffers
 The bill was referred to a commit tee.
 The presidents opening remark to the house, which, as on previous oc- CaSiCns. showed large proportion of members in army gray. were heard with enthusiasm. He said:
 While in the west the enemy's at tempt to break through, undertaken with strong forces, failed when con fronted with the contempt of death of our troops and their commanders, while in tine east the German and Austro-FunSarian armies hold in an iron grip what they have won in battles, which were boldly planned and heroicaIIy carried out; while on the Isonzo the Italians. by force of arms are attempting to conquer the least part of what before the war they could have got from Austria without striking a blow in the Balk

WIND AND SNOW SWEPT
ATLANTIC SEABOARD

The entire Atlantic coast from
Florida to Maine was treated
Saturday to the worst Easter
weather ever experienced. Wind,
snow and rain combined to make
the day memorable. The worst
previous early April storm was
on April 9, 1907.
The wind at Long Branch
attained velocity of rs miles an
hour. 1t reached 60 miles an
hour in New York and six inches
of snow fell. Pedestrians and
horses were blinded and ac-
cldentS were numerous.
The steamer Prinz Mauritz,
which left New York Thursday
with four passengers and large
cargo for Haiti, Venezuela and
West Indian ports, was disabled
in latitude SO. 45 n. and longi-
tude 74.56 w. and sent out
S. o. S. calls for assistance.
Steamers went to her aid.
Reports were circulated that
the German auxiliary cruiser
Prinz Eitel Friedrich had made
a dash for freedom from New
port News. The interruption to
wire communication made con-
firmation or denial of these re-
ports practically impossible, but
Washington actually was able to
get in touch with Hampton
roads and received assurance
that the German raider was still
moored to her wharf.
Eighteen transatlantic and
six coastwise ships scheduled
to leave New York were held up.
Among them was the Cunarder
Lusitania with a record list of
passengers, since the war broke
out, on board.
Norfolk was partially inun-
dated and citizens were forced
to use boats in the streets.
Many persons suffered minor
injuries.

Dies at Age Of 102 Years.

Mr.. Benjaming Harvey Garri-
son, the county's oldest and one
of Mecklenburg's best known
citizens, passed away at his home
in Mallard Creek township, II
miles north of Charlotte, at mid
night Friday. Uncle" Benja-
min Harvey, as he was affection
ately known throughout the
length and breadth of the coun-
ty, was 102 years old last Janu-
airy and was therefore the oldest
citizen in this section of the
State.
His first presidential vote was
cast for Andrew Jackson and he
had voted for each and every
Democratic nominee since, with
one Or two exceptions when ill
health or other unavoidable agen-
cies prevented. That he was
wonderfully we'll informed on
topics generally and possessed a
wonderful storehouse of knowl-
edge particularly of early days
goes without saying. For the
past year he had been in declin-
ing health, although he had been
able to be up and about the
greater part of the time. He is
survived by four children, all of
whom are advanced in years.
