Since August 1, the News-Lea-

pressed their offensive into Rus.
sia, have pressed their offensive
in Russia, have undertaken the
Serbian campaign and have been
forced to deliver costly counter
attacks in France to recover the
ground lost in the September
drive. These losses have proba
bly, raised the German monthly
average OF killed from Al, ,666 tc
so, 900 for the months of August
to October inclusive. The Astri
ans have probably lost no more
men than heretofore in the east
but have suffered heavily fro n
the operation on the italian
frontier. The lowest estimate ol
their losses on that front is 80,
900, with other estimates run
ming as thigh as 100000. Th'
Turks, too, have certainly los
more each month since August
than during the ten months pre-
ceding, since the offensive at the
head of the Persian Gulf and the
Russian attacks from Transcau
sla have taken a disastrous toll
On the side OF the Allies, tn

Asheyille Citizen.
When they find time hanging
heavily on their hands the so.
called war experts resurrect the
peace rumor, many times decent
ly buried. The latest one, and
probably the silliest ofall, is that
Germany has appealed to the
pope to use his best Offices to
bring about peace negotiations,
while the king Of Bulgaria, on
similar mission bent, is reported
tohave assured the holy seer that
his nation will become Catholic,
departing from the Greek ortho-
dox church, after the war. Both
of these mark the widest flights
of imagination. Germany is not
talking peace, has no thought OF
peace and is certainly making no
overtures to the vatican. Now
can any one in his sane senses be.
lieve that Ferdinand, of Bulga-
ria, who has just launched him.
self into a FOOLS war, is already
showing the white feather? He
has hardly begun the fight,
though by this time he doubtless
regrets that he allowed Germa-
ny and Austria to pull the wool
over his eyes. 4
The ordinary layman knows
that the making ofpeace involves
many complex questions; it in.
cludes the character of terms and
the discussion of principles a n d
settlements. Around it revolve
international adjustments which
cannot be discussed in q day or
in a week, and, as a general rule
before the question of even q
truce can be considered one side
or the other must demonstrate
some physical advantage, some
thing which neither side in the
present war has yet shown to
any decisive extent. Nor is itlike-
ly that the immediate future will
witness marked gains by either
the "a lilies or central powers.

b0sksf !. Washlngtsa Dies Suddenly at
Tuskegoo.

Dosksf I. Washingtsa Dies Suddenly at
Tusksges.
Tuskegee, Ala. Dispatch Il.
Booker T. Washington, the no.
ted negro educator and founder
OF Iuskegee Institute, died athis
home here early today fourhours
after his arrival from New York.
Death was due to the hardening
of the arteries following a nerv-
GUS breakdown.
The negro leader had been in
failing health for several months
bnt his condition became serious
only last week while he was in
the East. He realized the end was
near, but determined to make the
long trip South to bear out his
oft-expressed statement that he
had been "born in the South,
having lived all my life in t h Q
South and expect to die and be
buried in the South"
Washington is survived by his
wife and three children and four
grandchildren. His brother John
q. Washington, is superintend-
ent of industries at Tuskegee In
stltute. ="
Washington was born in slav.
cry near Hale's Ford, Virginia,
in 1857 or 1858. After the eman.
cipation Of his race he moved
with his family to West Virginia.
He was an ambitious boy and
saved his money foran education.
When he was able to scrape to-
gether sufficient funds to pay his
stage coach fare to Hampton,
Va, he entered General Arm
strong's School for Negroes there
and worked his way through an
academic course, graduating in
1875. Later he became a teacher
in the Hampton Institute, where
he remained until 1881, when he
organized an industrial school
for negroes at Tuskegee. He re-
mained principal of this school
up to the time of his death. The
institute started in a rented shan.
ty church and today it owns g.
500 acres OF land in Alabama
and has nearly 100 buildings val.
ned at $50O,OO0.
Washington won the sympathy
and support of leading South
erners by a speech in behalf OF
his race at the Cotton State Ex-
posi- ion in Atlanta in 1895. O
undoubted ability and breadth
of vision, his sane leadership en-
abled him to accomplish more
for and among the negroes of tht
United States than any negro O
his time.
In addition to his prominence
as an educator. Washington
gained considerable fame as al
author. He received an honorar,
degree OF Master of Arts from
Harvard University in 1896 ant
was given an honrary d egree o
doctor of laws by Dartmouth
College in 1901.
An incident OF Washington
career made him q figure OF ma
tional prominence during the ad
ministrarion of re>idens Roose

Republican meeting IN halelgn
Wednesday because those who
are not in sympathy with the
G. o. P. machine and it's methods
did not attend. Even Solicitor
Hayes of Wilkes, one Of the few
Republican Office holders in this
state was conspicuous for his ab-
sence. Neither did Messrs. Cow
les and Walser figure in the
conference of the faithful. Then
too, there is Ex-senator Butler,
who issued the first clarion call
for a reorganization OF the Re-
publican party in the State. He
evidently didn't consider the Ra-
leigh council chamber a healthy
place for rejuvenators, and his
seat was vacant.
Ex-Congessman Cowles not
only failed to attend, but he was
aggressively absent. For on the
morning Of the day whoop
ing up the faithful be came out
In an article in the daily organ
of the anti-Democrats of this
State, in which he went for Hon.
Charles A. Reynolds with gloves
off, among other things submit
ting the following pointed re-
marks:
"Since when and by whom, let
me ask my critic, was the price
OF good standing in the Republi-
can party in North Carolina pla-
ced at $25? And, again, what
power has decreed that it is trea-
son to advocate a reorganization
of the Republican party in North
Carolina? For the undersigned,
let me assure you, Boss Reynolds,
your puny threats have no ter
ror. ] stand with that gallant
band that cast approximately
$4,000 votes for Roosevelt a.
gainst your $4,000 votes for
Taft and plead with the sensible
thinking men among the oppo-
sition to Join us in our efforts to
reorganize and revitalize the Re:
publican party. We have never
left the Republican Party. We
are not going to leave it. A re-
organization OF the party will
take place, and by a reorganiza-
ton is meant the elimination oi
the most objectional members OF
the present organization and a
recognition OF all factions, SO
that the party may be reunited
and q solid front presented to
Democracy in the approaching
campaign.
"It has been charged repeated
ly that there q few scheming pol
iticians in North Carolina whose
sole object is to control the or
ganization and dish out the pit
to themselves and a few trusted
friends, and that they didn't
want the party to grow. Ger
tainly there is an abundance o.
evidence to support the conten'
tion."
And it came to pass that OF
the day the love feast was beint
held in Raleigh by the Republi
can machine leaders and thei
adherents, the rank and file o

VOLDING BUILDING GARAGE.
Another Fine Building Under Con-
struction on Washington
Street.

Several weeks ago Public Opinion
announced that c. n. Welding would
erect a new garage building On his
property on East Main street. Last
week work was started on the foun-
dation of the building, which will be
a large one story brick structure,
144X115 feet. The building will
join Roman Bros. barn on the West.
Mr.. Volding will connect the gar
age with his other big building, the
former old DEBORAH Foundry build
ing, which is 74x120 feet. A drive
way from the garage into the other
building will be made, so as to make
it much more convenient in getting
in and out of the garage
Mr.. Volding conducts a feed sta
BILE in the old foundry building. The
UPS airs of this building will be re-
modelled to some extent and will be
used for a paint shop. There is a
fine basement under the building,
and that can be utilized also. Some

Home From California.

Mr.. and Mrs. A. C. Baker arrived
home Thursday from delightful
four months sojourn in California.
Mr.. and Mrs. Baker left DEBORAH the
first part of January, going to Cen
tralia, Wash. to visit their daughter
and husband, Mr.. and Mrs. Nj. w.
Daubney. Mrs. Daubney accompan-
led her parents on the trip. They
visited at Del Monte, Santa Barbara,
Long Beach and other places of in
terest. The also attended the San
Francisco and San Diego EXPOSE
tions. The latter had a very poor at
tendance, scarcely any visitors at
ALL But Mr.. Baker states the an
Francisco Exposition is the biggest
and best that has ever been held
anywhere. While the European
war has put damper on the occu-
pancy of a great many of the build
ings erected by the foreign coun-
tries, nevertheless there is plenty
there to interest most anyone. The
Baker party spent month at the
Exposition.
