Chapel Hill, N. c., Oct. 2.-At
the end Of the second week Of the
fall term, the University Of North
Carolina has settled down to its
normal activities, with an added
zest and discipline given to the
work by the new courses in mill
tary science In spite Of the
tsrain made upon the student
body by the war, the University
enrolment has been most gratify-
ing, and is not very far behind
that Of last year at this time. AL
ready the 1880 mark has been
passed, and this week will bring
many additional students. The
falling off, as might be expected,
has been most noticeable in the
professional schools, the graduate
department and the upper classes.
The freshman and sophomore
classes are about normal. Twen-
ty-five women are taking work in
the University this year. Mrs.
Thomas w. 'Lingle has come to
the University as scpecial adviser
for the women students and as
sistant in the extension work OF
the University.
Nearly 500 students have vol
unteered for the new courses in
military training From nine to
ten hours a week is now being de-
voted to drill, and three hours a
week to military lectures. Emer-
son Field, the scene Of former

against the recently gained Brit
ish positions along the bloody
Ypres sector have all been re
pulsed by the British defenders
according to the report received
this morning from General Haig.
No less than five desperate at
tacks were made by the enemy, all
of which failed, except one, which
overswept two small advanced
posts, and these posts are being
held tenaciously by the enemy re
gardless of a fearful slaughter.
The German troops are being
driven on in desperation in the
countering attacks, extending
from Zonnebeke to south Of
Ypres and the Roulers railway.
It is difficult to estimate, even
approximately the loss to the
enemy but it has been extremely

SOLDIER BOYS
ENTERTAINED

The first evidence Of feeling
shown by the people over the con
scription of the local boys into
army camps was evinced last
night when nearly two hundred
young men and women gathered
at the Baptist church, and, under
the auspices Of the Baraca-Phila-
thea classes, gave a reception to
the boys that leave for the camp
tomorrow.
Inspiring it certainly was, and
furthermore it showed that un
derneath an apparent carelessness
and nonchalance on the part Of
the people, that has made so many
say that the citizens here do not
appreciate that the country is at
war, there is an undercurrent OF
concern that is deep, true and
abiding.
The exercises last night opened
with the song 80 . America by all
present; then two catchy piano
solos by Miss Bessie Futrell; an
address by Rev. r. A. Mcfarland
on "the privileges Of the young
men to serve their country, and
the cause Of universal liberty a
| short talk by Mr.. Ashby NJ. Dunn;
two vocal solos by Misses Ger
rude Whitehead and Lillian
I--2rrell, both real war songs, and
=, instrumental solo by Mr.. John
Josey, made up the preliminary
entertainment.
Following this the soldier boys
were made into a receiving line
and everyone passed along giving
them hearty hand shake and
happy word; then the ladies
served refreshments, which,
though block ice cream, did not
cool the ardor Of the occasion.
The following resolutions were
read by Mr.. Ashby Dunn and by
unanimous vote adopted:
Resolved by the Baraca and
] Philathea classes Of the Scotland

Third: That we shall watch

faithfulness and worthiness.
Fourth: That our thoughts
shall go out to them daily and our
prayers shall attend them con
