RALEIGH. n. c.. September To-
Declining to comply with request
from Joseph II. Chonte. president. TO
appoint twenty North Carolina MEM
bers Of the National Security League
for adequate preparedness for war.
Governor Craig writes Mr.. Choate that
he does not believe the United States
is In the slightes danger of attack
from an outside enemy. He said that
"in spirit Of righteousness to all mon
and just consideration TO all nations.
the diplomacy adopted by the Preei-
dent OF the United States has won
q higher place than she would have
had II her policy had been one of arhi-
trary dictation backed by force.
The Governor writes that the ma
tions OF Europe arc straininG all their
energies TO defend themselves in the
present war and to pcrpctuate their
existence. and have no resources to
send ships and armies 1900 miles
across the sea TO attack the nation
with more potential power than any
on earth" He expresses the belief
that, after this war Is over. the world
will be tired OF war and an era OF
peace will ensue.
He writes further: "In my opinion.
the President Of the United States and
his advisers have 4 proper conception
OF the situation. and arc ready to urge
Congress to adopt any measures neccs-
sary TO provide for our defense and TO
assert In any way the rights and
dignity OF our country and OF all it's
citizens. With great respect for your
organization and for the ability and
patriotism Of the mon who are promot
ing II, think Il Is unnecessary, and
may tend TO cnYender In this country
a spirit Of militarsm that would bur
den our people with tremendous ex-
pense for war equipment and create a
desire for war. rather than hope that
We be at peace with all the world"

LONDON. September 15.-Von Hin
denburg's drive toward the Dvinsk-
wilma railway is not progressing as
rapidly his previous enterprises of
similar kind, and, except at one or
two points about midway between
these towns. where his cavalry have
cut the railway, he still is being stub
bornly opposed.
Won Hindenburg, however. has
reached point west of the bridgehead
across from the town of Dvinsk, and
is preparing to attack that fortified
area.
Along the rest of the line also the
German advance has slowed up, while
in Galicia the Russians still are at
tacking, and. according to unofficial re-
ports, the Teuton armies are falling
back across the Dniester. Just north
Of the Galician border the Russians
also are on the offensive and are try

Austrinns took last week
WILL HAVE EFFECT
ON REST OF FRONT
This offensive IN the south, 1t Is be-
lieved. will have an effect on the rest
OF the front, as re-enforcements must
soon be sent there, or the Teutonic al
lies will run the danger of being out
flanked. Despite this, the Austrians
have sent reenforcements against
Italy. and have at some parts OF the
line assumed the offensive.
The heavy guns continue their hon.
bardment along the western front. and
in the Vosges another battle is in
progress for possession OF Hartmans-
Wcilerkopf, which has changed hands
often during the past few months.
According to dispatches from Hol-
land. the British warships have again
attacked the German positions on the
Belgian coast. Air raids by allied air
men on towns now occupied by the
Germans and by Zeppelins on England
are daily occurrences.
