BAPT|STS PROTEST
AGAINST RULING
VIGOROUS OBJECTION IS VOICED
AGAINST RECENT RULING AS
TO CAMP PASTORS.
QUOTA OF 100000 FUND
Association is Arranging to Go "oVer
the Top" in Raising Its Proper
ton OF the Fund.

The Central Baptist Association
meeting at Wake Forest adopted reso-
buttons protesting against the War De-
partments ruling eliminating camp
pastors from the forces of religious
workers in army camps and asking
that the order be revoked.
The Central Association began its
meeting. at ten o'clock.
For many years Mr.. John e. Ray
was moderator of the association. All
missed him at this session. DR.. Chas
e. Brewer was elected moderator, and
W. r. Powell clerk and treasurer.
The Introductory sermon was preach
ed by DR.. Livingston Johnson in the
morning. The Biblical Recorder was
also discussed.
The Central Association was asked
to raise $4,000 as it's part of the mil
lion dollar fund. Reports from ten
churches showed just little over the
100000. There are thirty-one churches
in the association. or course the
stronger churches are included among
those which have made subscriptions,
but others are arranging for a cam

will reach up toward $4,000 or more
when the reports are in. The central
is the first association in the state
that has made systematic campaign
for the million dollar fund, and if the
others will do as we'll, the denomina-
ton will go cover the top"
The following resolution was unan-
imously and heartily adopted: .,
Whereas, we learn with deep re-
greet that the War Department has is
sued an order eliminating the camp
pastors from the forces of religious
workers in the army camps, and
whereas we consider this a very Sc
rious matter, as it not only deprives
the young men in the army Of the
benefit Of receiving spiritual fnstruc-
ton and advice from ministers of
their own faith, but is also in our opin-
ion a serious blow to religious lib
erty therefore:
Resolved, That, we, the delegates
OF the Central Association, in annual
session assembled, most respectfully
and earnestly petition the war de-
partment to revoke this undemocratic
and unAmerican order"

Poole for Sneaker.

Mt Gilead.-R. T. Poole, of Troy,
will represent Montgomery county in
the next general assembly. The NOM
ination came to Mr.. Poole as a great
surprise to himself and friends, as he
has built up a great law practice and
it will be no little sacrifice to him to
serve in this capacity. Mr.. Poole rep
resented the county in 1905. Mr..
Poole's friends have begun to boost
him for the speakership of the house.

Lone, Loaves Are Most Economical.

A loaf weighing one pound contains
IL per cent of water If it is round
and only "a per cent If 1t is cylindrical.
Therefore, she who buys long loaves
gets 40 grammes more actual food for
her money than she who buys round
loaveS.
The reason for this is that the
snFere is the figure that contains the
largest possible volume under the
smallest possible surface, and, as evap-
Grafton Is a matter Of surface, this
greater from a cylinder than i is
a sphere Of the same weight

EDMOND RDSTAND DEAD
French Poet and Playwright Passes
Away

Paris, Dee. 2.-Edmond Rostand,
the poet and playwright, died this ,nf-
ternoon. He had been i'll with grippe.
The famous French poet and play
wright, before whose genius kings
we're proud to bow, was the son of
Eugene Rostand, noted economist,
and was born in Marseilles, April l,
1868. He combined with high skill
in stage craftsmanship the idcalism of
poet, dreamer and moralist.
He first came into prominence as
an author in 1888 when his de Cant
Rouge" vaudeville sketch, was pro-
duced in Paris. About that time a
small volume of poems entitled Lies
Musardises" appeared and attracted
attention Subsequently Rostand
wrote other compositions, always in
verse, and was soon classed with such
European literary men as Maurice
Macterlinck.
The more important Of these plays,
in the order Of their production, were:
"Les Romanesques," (1894), ola Prin-
cess l.ointaine," $1895), La Samari-
taina," Q89D, "Cyrano de Bcrgcrac"
$500, "L'Aigion" G90D, and "Chan-
tecler" 1910. Rostand was at the
height Of his popularity when "Chan-
tccler" was produced in Paris. Seats
sold for $50, and the American rights
for IT'S presentation cost a fortune.

TO REPEAL POSTAGE RATES
Senate Committee Approves Repeal
Of Increased Rates

Washington, Dec. 3.-Repeal of the
increased postage rate was approved
by the Senate finance committee.
Amendments to the war revenue bill
were adopted to abolish the zone in
crease on second class rates, with a
rroviso that the rate shall be one and
one half cents per pound beyond 200
mile radius, and also for repeal of the
extra cent per ounce postage on let
tGrs.
The amendment reducing the second
class mail rates provides that upon
enactment Of the bill the existing zone
system, which many publishers have
attacked as unjust, would be abolished
and that thereafter the second class
rate shall be at the old scale of one
cent per pound within a radius of 200
miles from mailing points and one
1'af cent per pound outside of the 200
mile zone.

QUIET UNDER AMERICANS
Germans i'll Treves Appear Outwardly
to BE Pleased

Trevcs, Germany, Dec. 3.-Treves
went to sleep tonight with American
1orces in possession Of the city. TO
outward appearances the inhabitants
we're pleased, in way, at the coming
of the Americans. All the cafes anj
rescauranes and those stores which
we're opened did an excellent business
last Sunday.
At first, early in the day, the popu-
lace regarded the Americans with
great curiosity, but as the day passed
the curiosity wore off.
In the best restaurants there was no
noticeable lack of bread, butter and
sweets.
The store windows in Trcves are
full of merchandise, but prospective
purchasers were informed by the mer-
chants that most of the articles were
for. display only. They added that
their shelves were empty of many ar
ticles, as they had been for several
years.

HOHENzOLLERNS TO

Former Princes Agree to Leave Their

TO GO TO DIFFERENT LANDS
Prince August William and His Wife
Propose to Go to
Argentina

London, Dec. 4.-The German Gov
crnment has consented to permit a
lumber of the Hohenzollern Princes
to leave Germany on condition that
they leave their fortunes behind them,
according to an Exchange Telegraph
dispatch from Amsterdam. They have
accepted the conditions it is stated,
and expect to proceed to Switzerland,
Denmark or Holland.
Prince August William, the former
Emperor's fourth> son, however, AMI
his wife are going to Argentina as
soon as possible, the message adds.
No Decision Yet
London, Dec. 4.-"The German Gov
ernment is still undecided as to how
to deal with the former Emperor and
the Hohenzollerns," said Hugo Haase,
secretary for foreign affairs in the
German cabinet, to Il cr
of the Empress on Sunday.
Il Think" he continued, "they NAV
be sufficiently punished by the inter
national odium they have incurred.'
Discussing the war, Haase said:
"The guilt of starting the strug-
gle lies with both German and Aus
trian militarism. The government is
low investigating the pre-war meth.
ods of the foreign office, particularly
regarding the handling of secret
funds. The result will be published as
soon as the investigation is com,
pleted."
