OPENS WORK IN ITALY Tea and Club Rooms Opened for American Women. Min Charlotte ,Nlven, Director of Ital ian Work, Prepares for Influx of American Woman Students. Weimar.—The opening of the na tional assembly this afternoon was impressive for its solemnity," earnest ness and simplicity. Chancellor Ebert’s opening speech, the delivery of which occupied a half hour, was frequently interrupted. The Court theater was thronged long before the appointed time. It was a democratic looking crowd, well, though plainly dressed, that shuffled its way through the snow to • thg theater, for everyone walked, save one carriage and one automobile party. Following a brief review of an* infantry honor company, everyone sought the interior of the theater. Herr Ebert received only a brief ovation on his entry, He found him self so heckled by independent social ists that he was forced in the middle of his speech to turn upon them with the declaration that their disorder showed how little evil times had taught them. He aroused approval when he began by declaring: “We havje done forever with. princ«a and nobles, by the grace of God.” He said the German people was now ruling itself. There was disapproval mixed with approval when he declared the revolu tion would decline responsibility for the shortage of food and the defects In food in Germany.

U. 8. HOSPITALS IN NORTH CAROLINA TO BE CLOSED Italy is now Included In the wir work of the American Y, W. C, A. Miss Mabel Warner of Salina, Kan., and Chicago left Paris a few days ago for Rome, where she will be in charge*' of a Hostess House for American girls employed there by the American Red Cross, the Embassy and the new Tu berculosis Commission. Miss Warnei has been director of the >Y. W. C. A. Hostess House at Brest, France. Miss Warner will open a tea room and club rooms where the American women can gather “for social times. Rome is harboring a refuge populafion of about 40,000 and accommodations are difficult to find. The work In Rome was started ns a direct result of the appeal of MLss Charlotte Niven, one of the National Y. W. C. A. secretaries of Italy, who Is spending a few months in France as advisor In the French work. Miss NlvA’s dreams of Y. W. C. A. work In Italy Include the maintenance of a residence for non-Italian women, who, she feels, will come to Italy In great numbers after the war to study music and art. *T believe at this time such a project la particularly Important because wo men from other countries, should be encouraged to come to Italy to replace the great numbers of German women who flooded Italy In the past, many-of them paid agents of their govern ment,” Miss Niven said In discussing her plans. Miss Niven has asked the American Y. V- C. A - t0 a,d the Itn>*an Associa tion In establishing a center, perhaps at-Genoa, with two American secreta ries, with physical and''recreational training, to act as a training school for Italian women. In connection with It her plan Vould include a Hostess House for girls passing through The city of employed there. Such a center would become eventualy the center for all Y. W. C. A. wo#k in Italy, both Italian and foreign. In her formal appeal for help for the Unione Crlstiana Delle Giovanl (the Italian name for Young Women’s Christian Association) Miss Niven has emphasized twd facts, the poverty of the Italian Association on the one hand and the need and opportunity op the other for an Amerionn program in Italy at the present tljiie. Miss Niven’s favorite way of Illus trating the friendliness of the Italian woman to America Is'hy~TeTHng story of the Italian mother who said she had taken down the picture of the Madonna which had hung for many years over her bed - nd was putting in Its place one of President Wilson. _ ** ‘fln our work In Hie Unione we have lacked trained leadership as well as the material resotfrces to give such training We have hnd.no means to NOTICE of the COUNTY TREASURER The Books of the County Treasurer will be open for the collection of State, County and Commutation Road Taxes for fiscal year, 1918, "at the Treasurer’s oflice from October 15th to December 31st, 1^18.
