AT THE PASTIME THEATRE.

After being closed for several
weeks on account of the influenza. the
Pastime theatre VIII be open next
Friday the 18th. This news will
bring pleasure to many who never
realized how much pleasure there was
in picture show until circumstances
made it necessary to close the Pas
time temporarily, and then they saw
how genuinely pleasant it was to pass
the time away at the Pastime.
While the show has been closed the
management has not been idle, as
plans have been perfected for giving
still newer and better pictures, Just
as good as can be seen anywhere Mr..
H. H. Anderson proprietor Of the
Pastime of Iumberton, and Gem of
Laurinburg, has secured the Hamlet
Opera House, and from now on, with
three houses will be in a better posi-
ton than ever before to give service
unsurpassed by any city theatre. The
occasional missouts which have occur
red in the past usually happened on
account of bad connection at Hamlet,
but that trouble will now be eliminat-
ed as the pictures will start on the
Anderson chain at the Hamlet end.
Another change which will be ap-
proved by the patrons /of the shows
will be standardizing the prices and
cutting out the pennies. In future
the regular prices will be 10 and 20
cents, which will include the war tax.
Only an special occasions will there
be any deviation from these prices. 1t
is impossible to give satisfactory SER
vice at a less price. Where the pub
lie has been paying the window tax
the Management has too many other
taxes to pay to count them, but there
is a special revenue tax, State, coun-
ty and town tax, and in addition to all
that, there is reel tax which amounts
to over .S25 per month. In making
the regular prices 10 and 20 cents
the management assumes al the vc-
rious taxes, promises the Lest service
that money will buy and solscits the
patronage of all lovers of good clean
pictures. Remember, every time you
pay y.pr way into a theatre of any
kind, you are contributing to the sup
port Of the boys over the sea who
have whipped the Huns to finish.
While the war is said to be over, our
boys will still be in France for at
least two years and we must give
them the support which they so justly
deserve. E.

name, although guilty Of gross atroc.-
ties in Italy and Serbia. But there is
decided difference between Austria
and Germany in the opinion of officials
here, and it is expected that in reply
ing to Austria the president win let it
Oe known that she can have g separate
peace on somewhat better terms than
can be offered Germany.
So far as the Turkish note is con-
eerned, officials say that the president
very probably will communicate to the
Ottoman government a reply identical
to that which he viii send to Vienna.
Officials here believe that no matter
what happens elsewhere, the uncondi-
tional surrender of Turkey is a matter
of only brief time. And now that
Germany has been unable to get peace
at her own terms, the Constantinople
authorities are expected to follow Bull
garia's lead in every way and save
what they can from the wreckage Of
their national war hopes.
Diplomatic officials here today said
that they believed the presidents ac-
ton in again telling the German peo-
pie that one of the great conditions
toward peace was change in the Ger
man government will precipitate anew
the political crisis in Germany. They
say that this statement can be depend
ed on to stiffen the attitude of the Ger
man socialists. The very fact that
the kaiser has found it necessary to
ask the socialists to take a real part in
the government indicates that it was
necessary to placate them to get their
support, for the latest peace move.
That having failed, officials here be-
lieve the socialists will renew their
demands and the government be made
responsive to the people. Whether
they will be able to gain this point or
| net is matter of serious doubt here
at present. But ultimately they will,
as the German armies continue to suf-
fer serious reverses in the field.
Entente representatives were ex-
tremely gratified today over the Of
fetal announcement, made simultaneous
iy with the uttering of President Will
sons decision, that there will be no
slowing up in Their ushing Of troops
and war materials to the front. Hhat
is the sort of language that the Ger
mans can understand, they say. And
when they realize the promises of
the general staff that it will have at
least four million men in France by
June l, next, it will bring about con-
ditions that must eventually lead to
complete unconditional surrender.

has spread rapidly and the death toll
has been high in most parts of the ma
ton.
In army camps the epidemic is sub
siding, further decrease in new cases
beng noted yesterday at the office of
the surgeOn-General of the army. The
total of cases reported was 6.49S a
decrease of 773 from yesterday. Pneu-
monia cases were 1916, against 2,523
the day before, but the number of
deaths increased, being $50 against
TIC yesterday.
Reports made public last night by
the public health service show that.
outside of Massachusetts,. the epidem-
&c IS severe throughout New England.
Net single state east of the Missis-
sippi IS clear Of the disease, and in
most Of the coast states from Maine
to Florida conditions are serious.
The number Of cases reported also
is increasing in Oregon, Washington.
and California, while the malady has
appeared in all mountain states and is
epidemic in most Of them. Minnesota
Is the only West-Central state report
ing the disease stationary, while infu-
enza is epidemic in Ohio, Michigan, In
dana, Wisconsin and Illinois. It also
is epidemic in all the southern states,
as well as in Oklahoma and Arkansas.

bia the epidemic continues undated.
As further precautionary measure
the treasury and interior departments
have issued orders that no new employ
es of these departments be brought
to Washington until further notice.
Similar action is expected by other
government departments, which still
are in need of additional help.

ATROCITIES BY
ENRAGED HUNS
Expected on More Extensive Scale
Following Wilson'S Turn Down: Big
Task Before Soldiers.

Washington, Oct. 15.-The big task
confronting us now is to complete the
war
That was official Washington's adj
monition today. The nervousness of
yesterday, while the nation waited for
President Wilson to speak, had dis
appeared today. The war was to go
on. On that point officials were posi-
tive. There might be- internal up
heavals in Germany that later would
change the situation. But for the
present at least the military party was
in control there. And the military
party will not meet the conditions set
down by President Wilson as necessary
before any further steps toward peace
were possible.
Officials today prepared for further
German atrocities as soon as the text
of President Wilson's decision reaches
Berlin. They expect an immediate re-
newal of submarine warfare on the
largest scale possible to the German ad
miralty. They expect even worse
treatment of occupied. territory than
has been reported in the past. This
has been the order of things whenever
the German military machine failed to
win its point through a campaign of
intrigue. But officials made it en-
phatically plain here today that such
action only will make it harder for the
Germans.
From every section today came en-
dorsement of the presidents position.
His declaration that the military ex-
perts of the United States and its al
lies will have their say when any
armistice is arranged means much to
the men who are fighting In the war.
1t means that when Germany does
really apply for peace she will be COM
PEELED to furnish guarantees that will
completely protect the victorious al
lied troops. According to reports that
have rea ched here, the supreme allied
war council at Versailles has adopted
complete program to that end. It
comprises holding of important Ger
man centers and for rendering the
German fleet impotent while peace ne
gotiations are in progress.
1t was expected that the presidents
reply to the Austro-H Hungarian note
will be made ready without delay
That it will follow the lines Of the
German note. But it also will be diff
ferent. That is to say, officials here
feel convinced that the president is
willing to go farther to aid Austria In
ending the war. That nation has MOI
been guilty of the studied atrocities
that Germany has. Her submarine;
lhave not been so active. Her armies
| in the field have been trifie more hu
