I SEMIS GUI OFF FRIENDLY UK m FRENCH AND BELGIAN ALLIES ARE SEPARATED BY ARMY OF KAISER. APPARENTLY BIG BATTLE | Brussels Levied For $40,000,000.? Hold French Checked and Engage 150,000 Belgians. London.?Little has become known of the operations which put the Gen rmm army between the Belgian forces pand their French allies and enabled the Germane to occupy Brussels. It is believed the Germans bropght up strong forces behind their cavalry screens and that a severe battle must have been fought to compel the Belgians to abandon Brussels and retire to Antwerp. Whether the French forces were engaged with the Belgians is not known. No information is available as tc whether the Germans Intend to devote themselves to reducing Antwerp or to an endevaor to force their way southward into France. It seems, however, that the dieter mination is to attack the Belgian army of 150,000 men, who still are in 01 around Antwerp. The Germans already are advancing in the direction of Ghent. They have occupied Aost, 15 miles northwest of Brussels and Wetteren, eight miles southeast oi Ghent and apparently intend to overran the whole of Northern Belgium to the sea. Cavalry patrols have been as far as Mechlin (Malines), 14 miles southeast of Antwerp and it may be heard before long that the Germans have occupied Ghent and Brugies and possibly even Ostend. If this is their decision, however, a clear invasion of Franc? through Belgium must be much longer delayed. 1 The German general has imposed a war tax of $40,000,000 on the city of Brussels. GERMAN CANNONS CAPTUREO. Summary of Camion Captured by - French up to Present.

New York in Darkness. New York.?For nearly half an hour New York was as dark as at night while it was visited by one of the most severe electrical storms in its history.

Rate Commission Kaithfu! to Duty. Governor Craig in accepting and making public the report of Judge, M. H. Justice and Messrs. A. A. Thompson and W L. Poteat, composing the Rate Commission authorized by the Legislature to investigate the practicability and justice of the instrastate freight'rates of the Justice act said: "The report of the commission has been made after long, diligent, patient and exhaustive work. The commission has had the benefit of counsel of the ablest lawyers and experts that could be employed. The issues involved are of the highest interest to the people of North Carolina, affecting not only the charges that they shall pay for transportation of pro ducts from one part of the state to another, but what is of far greater importance, they affect the development of our commerce and industry. "The committee, appointed by me, is composed of three of the leading men of North Carolina. They have no superiors. The ability and character of each of the commissioners commands the highest respect and absolute confidence of all. I believe that the people of the state with practical unanimity will accept the judgment rendered by the Freight Rate Commission will accept it as a reasonable solution and settlement of a difficult question that had for many years vexed the people of North Carolina. Those who differ with the commission will readily concede that the report has been made in the spirit of justice and of the best service to the people. "The schedule adopted will make a substantial reduction in intrastate freight rates. It does not make as much as was made by the Justice bill, but it does give relief in those places where the relief is most needed. It gives relief to the lumbermen of North Carolina, as well as to farmers and other industries, and it will enable the eastern part of the state to tracle with the western part of the state. "In fact it changes the situation that *?.s heretofore existed and enables our people to trade with each other for their mutual welfare. It will operate, in my opinion, to th' emendous advantage of all the peo^.e of the state. Our industries will feel the effect of it, and it will manifest itself in the development of enterprise. "The commission has performed its labor faithfully, efficiently and for the best interests of the state." Have Their Sttare, Says Lacy. State Treasurer Lacy was shocked while reading a dispach from Fay etteville about the meeting of the Association of County Commissioners of the state, in which it was stated that Guilford county was the only county in the state that had been able to collect any pert of the automobile tax tor 1513 from the state. Every county in the state has got the share due it for this tax for 1913 And the*a&ounte for 1914 will be Bent out just as soon as the pro rata list is made oat, the Treasurer said. He lost no time in making the wires to Fayetteville hot to set the matter straight. He sent the following telegrams to Mr. W. M. Long and Mr. B. C. Beckwith: "Surprised to see misleading statement about automobile license taxes in morning's Nerw and Observer. Each ooanty has been paid its part for the year 1913 and I have the cancelled checks. Amounts for 1914 now in my hands, but the pro rata list is being made out by the Secretary of State. Payments to the counties will be made during August See letter." Amounts Allotted State Militia. Washington. ? Announcement was made by the war department tnat out of the total of $2,000,000 annually appropriated by oongrees for apportionment among the states for the purchase of supplies and ammunition under the militia law, $1,599,362 has been set aside by the secretary of war for that purchase during the fiscal year 1915.

This is the first time that the band has been equipped throughout with new instruments. Heat Up State Capitol. Notwithstanding it was a real hot day recently the heating plant at the capitol had on a good head of steam and the radiators in the various offi: ces were sending out heat like that ! which would be needed on a cold and ! frosty day. Now the heat in this ini stance was not turned on for the pur! pose of adding to the comfort of the governor or the other state officials, j for on the contrary it added to his discomfort. It was for the purpose of ! testing the new heating arrangement. i j Working on National Highway. ! D. H.
