i tal statistics of the stare board of
I health has closed a contract with J.
! A. Mclntyre of Mount Olive, wherein
the latter becomes prosecuting agent
for the vital statistics bureau in North
Carolina. Mr. Mclntyre is ex-deputy
sheriff of Wayne county, a former lo
cal registrar, and a young man fully
equipped for this particular work. He
starts on his first trip Monday, Oc
tober 4, to visit those counties where
incomplete registration is suspected.
His itinerary will be arranged alto
gether by the bureau of vital statis
tics in accordance with those coun
ties reporting low death rates, that is
to say, those counties that rest under
suspicion of incomplete registration.
Mr. Mclntyre will travel by motor
cycle, which will enable him not only
to hold down traveling expenses, but
to reach the remote districts of the
state.
"The state board of health is de
termined to enforce the state regis
tration law," declared the secretary of
the board today. Mr. Mclntyre's con
! tinuanee in office will be based on his
ability to find infringements of this
law and to secure convictions. In ad
dition to knowing where people are
lying and the relative importance of
ihe various causes of their deaths, the
hoard proposes to secure good stand
ing with the United States bureau of
the census and to be admitted as a
registration state. To this end the
bureau will employ county and dis
trict agents in addition to the state
agent, to find and prosecute violators
of thev ital statistics law.

New Orleans, Oct. 2. The number
of known dead, reported dead and
missing, was put at 459 in one esti
mate here today gathered from all
points in the storm zone.
Property damage was estimated at
$12,000,000.
It was expected that the total num-
Der oi dead would reach 254. There
are 117 missing.
While there have been some dupli
cations in the tabulations, it was said
the dead would not be fewer than 350.
Property damage throughout the
storm-swept territory has been great.
Parties returning from the rich sugar
plantations say that the country for
miles was under water 14 to 15 feet
deep. The levees in many places have
been destroyed, rendering more diffi
cult the work of rehabilitation.
River pilots said it would be im
possible to reconstruct the levees in
many places. Many people were re
ported marooned on the top of levees,
where they took refuge. While no of
ficial estimate has been obtainable
from this state and along the Missis
sippi coast, it is believed the damage
will approximate $12,000,000. Relief
work is progressing rapidly due to
the quick recovery made in the larg
er cities from the hurricane, Vessels

Charged with complicity in th
der of Dave Wilson near Forest City
two weeks ago, Ralph Brown, a young
white man, was arrested just outside
of the city limits late yesterday by
Chief of Police Lentz and Officer Sig
mon and lodged in jail to await the
arrival of a Rutherford countv officii
today. Brown denied taking part in
the murder, saying that Ben Hensley,
who is also wanted, ,fired the fatal
shots. According to Brown, three
shots were fired by Hensley, while
the prisoner made off from the scene
as fast as he could run.
Brown was on his way to see his
father who lives in the rear of the
Lenoir College campus when some
body telephoned the police department
that he was here. He landed at 4:32
and set out to walk home. Messrs.
Lentz and Sigmon intercepted him,
Brown surrendered with nothing more,
than a protest of his innocence and
was brought to the station.

j How different, and yet how closely
connected are these two Italian dec
larations of war.
Before the outbreak of the Turco
Italian war, Europe was peaceful.
The terrible disease from which she
is now suffering was then only be
ginning to gnaw at her vitals in the
capitals of the great powers. Lead
ing statesmen and diplomats, those
physicians who can diagnose but can
not cure the national disease of war,
recognized the symptoms. They knew
that the affliction would break out
within a few years. All Europe was
arming to the teeth.
Germany was making an ally out
of the Turk. Von der Goltz was train
ing the Osman army. The Bagdad
railroad would soon be something
more than a dream and Suez would
not be the shortest route to the em
pire of the east..
The statesmen of England, France
and Russia saw that under the guise
of Pan-Germanism the balance of
power was changing, and that if
something were not done immediate
ly the forehanded Teuton would be
supreme. Austria, Germany and Italy
together with a highly-trained army
of the greatest fighters in the world
the Turks and a strategic railroad
to India, would be more than a match
for the triple entente.
England, France and Russia put
their heads together. They wisely
concluded to approach Italy, since
Rome realized that in the ambitions
of Pan-Germanism Italy's aspirations
were the least likely to be realized.
They conflicted with those of Austria
in the near east.

would not hamper an Italian expedi

Washington, Oct. 2. The American
naval policy for the coming year, ten
tative plans for which recognize the
development of submarine warfare,
will be broadly effected by the British
admiralty's development of success
ful means of combatting submarines.
Confidential reports disclosing the
destruction of between 50 and 70 Ger
man submarines have fulfilled the con
viction of American naval experts that
means would be found to successfully
combat undersea naval warfare.
Likewise the report has confirmed
the faith of American experts that
the big guns those can led on dread
naughts are the effective fighting
force of any navy.
One effect of this will be a program
of more dreadnaughts rather than
building submarines. It is explained,
that the successful means of repelling
submarine warfare will not prevent
the building of a submarine fleet. The
new undersea boats will have a high
speed and will carry light guns.
Naval officers realize that the re
markable success of German undersea
boats created a profound impression
throughout the country and was the
cause of a strong sentiment for build
ing them to the exclusion of battle
ships. Submarine Telephone.
WThile the greatest secrecy is
thrown around the means employed,
the United States government has in
formation concerning the principal
methods which have been successful
in meeting the German war zone
campaign. A submarine telephone
has been developed by which it is pos
sible to detect the approach of a sub
marine by sound from observation
boats or stations planted off shore
connected with points m tne main
land. For the capturing of craft whose
presence has not been cetected or
even suspected, the government's re
ports describe how huge nets have
been stretched across the channels
through which the submarines may
be expected to attempt to pass, and
m open waters, near steamship lanes
or in the vicinity of warships, nets
suspended between floats have been
