Roanoke, March 1S.-(Special. )--The Methodist preachers and delegates from Roanoke to the Roanoke district con ference, which convened in Lineville the latter part of this week, have re- turned, and report the most enthusi- astic session probably ever held.

 Under the operation of the prohibit ton laws and the 50 cents license for inspection fee liquor shipments have all most ceased to come to Roanoke. The police court has almost suspended. Only two cases have been tried in March and eight in February

DEFINITE PROGRAMME

1T have definite programme Tor my rema ming two years in office. The via eucts will, of course come first, but the enlarging of the municipal electric light plant at North Birmingham, the purchase of the Birmingham waterw orks, the build ing of an auditorium and the installation of automatic telephones will receive con stant attention.
 At Tuesdays meeting of the comnis- sion City Engineer Julian Kendrick will report on estimates to enlarge the elec- tric light plant at North Birmingham, and from that report we will gauge our procedure as to the size of a bond issue. It is my intention to so enlarge the plant at North Birmingham that it will become an active competitor of the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company throughout the city.

Commerce, which has taken active charge of the Roden hotel proposition, which. by the way, is the only auditorium prop osition that has yet been submitted to the city. As soon as the report of Chair man Miner is made, and the city engi- neer also reports on the submitted plans, the city commissioners will start con sideration of the matter of leasing the Roden hotel site for combined audi torium and city hall.
 "The automatic telephones are a great thing and at Tuesdays meeting it is my intention to introduce a resolution calling upon the city to install this sys- tenn. Of course, there is no need for great big splurge at one time. We can start on this automatic telephone installation in modest manner.
 And that represents the salient fea- lures of my programme. The viaducts am sure to have constructed. The purchase of the waterworks is certain, provided we maintain a firm attitude to- wards that corporation. A public audi torium is also necessity and will be constructed. while I have great hopes for the automatic telephones. Now, by buck ling down to work and avoiding debates in the council chamber on such important subjects as the censorship of motion pie lures, I believe that the programme I have mapped out will keep me comfort ably busy for the next two years.'

RUSSIANS RENEW MARCH

Petrogrand. March ls.-(via I.ondon.) After three weeks of suspended activity the main Russian forces beyond Erxerum. which have been waiting for the de- velcpment of operations on the Black sea and in the Lake Van region to make their position secure against possible flank attacks by the Turks. have again resumed their westward march toward Sivas.
 Although the Russian advance is yield ing constantly growing number of Turk ish prisoners. there is no reason to sup pose that the Turks have begun to offer serious resistance to their pursuers. Ac- cording to unofficial reports, the large number of prisoners is accounted for by the Turkish discontent with conditions prevailing m the Turkish army, which has resulted in groA. ing disposition of the soldiers to surrender. Tn this con- nection it Is interesting to notc that an exceptionally high percentage of officers have been taken prisoner Some of them say that they were unable longer to tolerate German control of the.army.
