PEACE MOVEMENT
ABOUT TO ASSUME
DEFINITE SHAPE
Already in Touch With U. S.
Is Assertion; Call Soon to Be
Made For Conference
BELLIGERENTS SOUNDED
Reported Requests Have Been
Made to Them to Send
Delegates to Meeting

Berlin, Nov. II, via London, Nov. IS.
The movement for peace negotia-
tions, according to reports from 1.-The
Swiss frontier" which were printed by
the Koelnische Zeitung is about to
assume definite shape in the form OF
joint call from various neutral gov
ernments to the belligerents asking
them to send delegates to a peace con-
ference. The reports assert that sew
eral European neutrals are already in
touch with the American government
and that various belligerents have been
sounded on the proposition of a peace
conference.
In authoritative official circles here
it is stated that no facts are known
upon which the Koelnische Zeitung' S
story could be based while it is con-
sidered not impossible that neutral
governments may be considering some
such step.

Seven Ammunition Ships
Are Reported Blown Up
With Heavy Death Toll

Berlin, Nov. 1S (via wireless to
SaFVille).-SeVen ammunition steam
ers recently were blown up in the
harbor of Archangel, according to a
Russian newspaper published in Arch
angel, says the Overseas News Agency,
which quotes the paper as saying:
This evening Archangel was terri
lied by an appalling noise. 1t seemed
that the whole port was aflame. AT
6.15 p. m. seven ammunition steamers
which had arrived in the morning
were blown up. The explosion was so
enormous that iron fragments of ships
fell 700 yards away. The port for sew
eral minutes resembled a burning vol
oano and pieces of glowing iron fell.
All the port establishments were en-
Iangered (deleted by Russian censor)
Thus thirty-seven storehouses were
razed. The damage is estimated (sup-
pressed by censor) millions of rubles.
According to this latest statements
tnumber suppressed by censor)
corpses were found.
Seven hundred and sixty-three Sc
verely injured persons were taken to
hospitals. However. the number of
victims will be found to be consid-
erably larger when the ground has
been cleared. Access to the port dis
trict continues to be forbidden"
Dispatches to the Exchange Tele-
graph Company from Stockholm on
November 16 quoted Stockholm
newspaper as saying that the Russian
ammunition steamer, the Baron Bre-
ceni, was blown up in the harbor of
Archangel, causing the death of $50
persons and wounding $50.

Two-Cent Newspaper
Will Soon Be Universal

Every means is being adopted by the
newspaper publishers of the country to
meet the extraordinary expense re-
sulting from the unprecedented cost OF
news print. Increase. of the price OF
newspapers from one to two cents is
almost universal. All manner of eco-
Monies are being resorted TO and with
practically no exception the public Is
responding to the unusual conditions
which confront the publishers.
Cooperative purchasing of news
print paper by the members of the
North Carolina Press Association has
been decided upon by the print paper
committee of the association as the
only means of obtaining a supply dur
ing 1917 at price that will enable the
papers to exist.
The plan which Mr.. Warner and
others have carefully planned is
for all TO place their order in bulk
with the mills direct, eliminating the
middleman. and thus getting the best
price obtainable. The committee be-
lieves there is an excellent chance OF
this plan being put into effect and that
it offers what appears to be the only
plausible solution of the situation fac
ing publishers.
Since 1909 eleven paper mills in the
United States have ceased to produce
news print and in the near future ten
more mills will turn all of their ma
chimes to other grades of paper, Eeduc-
ing the supply hundreds of tons an
nually Still other mills have par
TALLY changed from news print to other
grades. which are more profitable. This
aggravates the newspaper famine
The Kansas City Star has increased
it's subscription rate from $500 to $3.50
year. Scores of papers have gone
from one to two cents per copy. Many
Canadian dailies and weeklies have
increased subscription rates fifty per
cent.

Two Early Morning Fires
Cause Small Losses

Two early morning fires caused $500
damage at the Imperial Hardware
Company and n slight loss at the St
James Hotel.
Fire Chief Kinder believes crossed
wires to be the cause of the fire at
the Imperial Hardware Company, 1902
North Third street. The blaze started
in the cellar where q number OF
Christmas toys were stored and caused
a $500 loss to stock before it could
be eXtinguished. The building is
owned by Sidney Seidel, and was dam
aged to an extent of $780,
This fire is another example of the
need of the city for an inside wire in
spector. says Chief Kinder.
The fire at the st. James Hotel was
started by a lighted cigaret care
lessly flung into a waste basket. A
bell hop seized the basket and flung
it through u window. The flaming
basket lodged on the awning. The
awning was destroyed.

PRINCETON AND
YALE FIGHTING
ANNUAL BATTLE
Neither Team Scores in First
Period; Ellis Show Great
Offensive Strength

Palmer Stadium, Princeton, n. j.,
Nov 1S.-The elevens of Yale and
Princeton universities met here this
afternoon in their annual football
game before a record gathering of
spectators and under perfect playing
conditions. For the first time since
the memorial arena was opened in
1914 the huge horseshoe structure was
filled with adherents of the two institu-
tions more than $4,000 being present
when the kickoff inangurated the con-
test
The weather was all that either
players or spectators could desire. A
cloudless blue vault overhung the
stadium from which haZy autumn's
sun smiled down upon the gathering
with just enough warmth to temper
the sharp wind that swept across the
amphitheater from the northwest.
Wraps, sweaters and steamer rugs
were popular with the spectators
while the members of the teams prac-
ticed under heavy jerseys until the
beginning of the game.
The throngS were slow in gathering
and both squads were running through
signal drills before the rival cheering
sections swung into the stadium. The
Princeton clan, several hundred
strong, paraded across the campus
headed by a band and gave a great
cheer for Yale as they passed the blue
section CT the stands. The Ellis re-
sponded with veil for the Tigers and
the the arena rang with songs and
cheers for opposing elevens until the
referee called upon the teams to line
up.
Yale Wins Toss
Yale won the toss and elected to de-
fend the north goal with the wind

Gennert kicked off to Legore who
was downed on his own 37-yard line
Yale failed to advance the ball, and
Legore punted to Ames, who ran the
ball back five yards and was downed

and one of the best known young
lawyers in this city, died suddenly OF
heart disease in a hospital here last
night. Mr.. Roney had been under
going treatment for about a week and
had apparently recovered when he
suffered a relapse. He was 80 years
old. Mr.. Roney was admitted to the
bar March 3. 1906. and was first
elected to the House of Representa-
tives in 1910. He was reelected in
1912 and 1914. At the last election
he again was a candidate but was de-
feated. His friends attributed his
weakened health to depression which
followed his political defeat.

estimates are not based alone on re-
ports from farmers but from the gov

State.
