RATE OF SPEED OF THE ADVANCE
IS, HOWEVER, SLOWED DOWN
SOME—RHEIMS LOST.
CHATEAU THEIR? IS OCCUPIED
Allied Forces Vastly
Reserves Have Nowhere as Yet
Been Brought Into Action.
Plunging southward, with Its mo
montum still unspent, the German war
machine has driven its wedge into the
allied linos along the front until its
apex has reached the Marne river
si.uth of Fere-en-Tardenois. The des
perate effeorts of the French jnd Brit
ish to Btem the tide against the In
vaders have served only to glow down
the rate of speed of the German ad
vance; the defenders of the height*
north of the Marne seem to have been
swept aside in the rush of thte enemy
toward the road to Paris.
Aside from the movement of the
German armies southward, two other
significant Incidents of the tremendoui
battle have occurred. One is that the
Germans have extended their attack to
the northwest, along the Ailette river,
from which the French have fallen
back for some distance. The other Is
that the battle has extended to the
east of Rhelms, which city, during the
first few days of the battle formed the
extreme eastern end of the line of
battle.
Along the sides of the salient form
ed by the rapid German advance to
the Marne the French and British
have been holding their positions gal
lantly. South of Solssons, the French
have defended their line with such
vigor that the Germans have not made
much Impression upon It. On the oth
er side of the battle area, the British
a.e still holding the forts of Rhelms
and positions Just west of that war
stricken city.
Between the extreme sides of the
salient the front sags toward the
south, the line from Rhelms to tho
Marne running to the southweßt "at a
gentle angle, while the French are
holding a front at right angles to the
direction of the German advance.
GERMAN AIRMEN BOMB
BIG CANADTAN HOSPITAL
German airmen have bombed another
hospital—this time a Canadian Insti
tution —and exacted a considerable toll
of casualties. Among those killed by
the explosion of flames was an Amer
ican medical officer who was admin
istering an anaesthetic to a British
officer in the operating room when
that part of the hospital was demolish
ed. The raid occurred at 12:30 o'clock
in the morning.
The hospital attacked yraa a large
one. It had been in since
the early day of the wftr and was
marked by huge Red Cross signs. The
German airmen, working partly by
the light of the moon, dropped four
bombs near the hospital and then not
apparently able to see exactly where
they were hitting, lighted a brilliant
Hare which was let fall to Illuminate
the surroundings.
As the place was lighted up by the
flare, they released another bomb or
two which dropped squarely on a largo
wing of the hospital. In the wing
there were tlire floors, on tho bot
torn one of which was the operating
room. On the story above were the
office and patients' room and above
them were members of the hospital
personnel. Part of the wing was de
molished by the terrific explosion and
many unfortunate persons were killed
and wounded when the building col
lapsed and buried them.
The surgeons were Just about to
operate on an aviation officer and the
American medical officer was stand
lng by with the anaesthetic when
crash came. All those In that room
were burled under an avalanche ol
brick and woodwork. The demolished
wing caught flre and burned fiercely
with many victims still pinned in the
wreckage.

Itself, there haa been a notable slack
ening In its advance during the past
day.
The chief effortn of the Germans
. now seem to be devoted to the widen
ing of the gap they have torn in the
positions of the allies between Pinon
and Brlmont. This work seems to be
progressing slowly againnt the des
perate resistance of the allied force*.
The Frepch having fallen back from
the limits of the city of Soissonß, have
stood their ground against the at
tacks of the enemy and the German
official statement falls to show mate
rial advances there during the day'*
fighting.
The French are here fighting on fa
miliar ground which has been made
historic by numerous battles iome of
which are named among the decisive
combats of history.
On the eastern end of the fighting
line some of the forte before Rhelms
are gatd to have fallen, which was to
be expected from, the fact th*t they
have been outflanked by the tide of
invasion that has swept far to the
iiOhth of the city.
The fighting has taken on the fa
miliar aspect of the first Invasion of
France in 1914, the advance of von
Mackensen along the Dunajeo and the
fighting In lPcardy In March. After
breaking the French and British de
fense positions, but not breaking the
allied line, the Germans are again
moving their fortes out in a fan
shaped figure, fighting hardest on the
flanks of the extreme front of their
advance.
Serious But Not Critical.
The situation, while apparently ex
tremely serious, has not assumed the
critical aspect of the fighting late In
March. The allies are resisting the
enemy's attacks stubbornly, giving
ground when ovei powered, and al
ways maintaining a solid front.
NATION OFFERS PRAYERB
FOR THOBE FIGHTING
Washington.—The American people
paid homage to the memory of the Ra
tion's defenders who have fallen In
battle and prayed for the success of
those who are fighting overseas.
Added solemnity was given this
memorial day by the great battle rag
ing on the fields of France, where
American soldiers are standing with
the allied troops abreast the charg
ing German armies. For the ultlmatis
victory of these Americans and the
thousands who are to follow them,
President Wilson, in response to a
resolution by Congress, had asked the
people to make of Memorial day a
day of fasting and supplication.
The President and Mrs. Wilson at
tended services this morning at the
Central Presbyterian church and In
the afternoon went to Arlington na
tional cemetery, where annual me
morial exercises wore held by the
Grand Army of the Republic. The
presidential party was escorted
through the grounds to the speakers'
stand by a troops of cavalry and a
company of engineers. Secretary Ba

GRAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY, JUNE 6, 1918
THE SLACKER *
Throughout North Carolina and the nation sentiment
toward the slacker is crystalizing and the fine finger of
scorn and contempt is searching him out.
There are several varieties of slackers. Here are some
of them:
The service Blacker— the man who should be in the
ranks and is not.
The labor slacker—the man who-is_able to work and
doesn't. J
The food slacker —the male or female hog who refuses
to readjust their diet so as to meet the demands of our
Allies for those foodstuffs which may be exported.
The financial slacker— the individual who can but does
not buy Liberty bonds and War Savings Stamps.
Slacking at home means more lilood spilled by true blue
American boys in France.
Slacking in America means starvation for innocent
women and children in England, France and Italy.
Slacking at home is a menace to the success of the
American, British and French arms in France.
THE SLACKER'S REWARD
The intelligent, observant, patriotic people of America
will not forgive slacking.
The slacker is a marked man. Not only during the
war, but as the war goes on and the casualty lists come
in he will be more and more scorned and hated by decent
citizens.
After the war is over he will he an object of contempt.
lie will be without the regard of decent people in his
community. Ilis children and his children's children
after him will pay a bitter price for his disloyalty—For
his failure under test to do his duty by his country and by
humanity.
Inexorable fate is setting him apart and ho will not
escape.
Every Bushel Saved Now Will
Supply a Soldier with Bread
Until Next Harvest.
OUR AIR FIGHTERS
PLAY A FAIR GAME
AVIATOR F. P. MAGOUN RELATES
AN INSTANCE OF THEIR REAL
SPORTSMANSHIP.
ONE FLYER'S LUCKY ESCAPE
American Infantryman Haa Advantage
Over the German In Hie Ammunition
Equipment—Finger Prints of Ger
man Allen Females to Be Taken.
(From Committee on Public Information.)
Washington.—A committee on public
Information representative In London
says:
There are no better sportsmen In the
world than the allied airmen, and
American aviators now fighting In Eu
rope always play a fair game, as they
learn It from the allies. F. I*. Ma
goun, a former Harvard student, now
a member of the Royal air force, re
cently wounded, tells how the lives of
German observers escaping from bal
loons have been spared.
"We caught three Hun balloons
above the allied grounds In a mist,
which prevented their gunners seeing
us," said he. "It was a cinch. You
should have seen them hustle out their
parachutes and abandon the balloons.
As they cauie falling down through
the air we circled about closely but, of
course, didn't oj>yn lire, as that's
against the rules of the game. As
soon as they touched ground they took
cover like rabbits."
Magoun Is the only American In his
squadron, liuvlng Joined In February of
last year. He has bagged five German
planes. While carrying bombs for low
attack In the recent offensive ho re
ceived a bullet through his left arm,
but managed to return to his own
lines. MugoUn tells of a companion
In his squadron who had one of the
luckiest escapes during the war. He
was put out of action 1,000 feet In the
air when a bullet perforated his gaso
line tank. He was rendered uncon
scious by the fumes and his machine
took a nose dive to earth, but he es
caped without a scratch.
4r»ectlon of the Royal sir force op
erating In the Ypres salient has lost
Its only American member, who hud
been with the squadron only ten days
when he went on a bombing raid at
low elevation. He was hit by a ma
chine-gun bullet and his plane fell In
flames. He was taken prisoner.
The efforts of newspapers to pro
mote good feeling between the people
of England and the thousands of Amer
icans received official backing when
Kir Randolf Baker, member of parlia
ment, oflftred to take charge of the
American troops welfare department
of the British government. Ills plans
contemplate a continuous program of
healthful recreation In every Ameri
can rest camp and training camp In
England. Special London theatrical
Companies will be sent out. An or
ganlzatton known as "Hsrnmy's Blighty
league" Is being formed.
The American Infantryman In Ihe
expeditionary forces carries 200 rounds
of ammunition In the pockets of Ills
light canvas webb belt snd his bando
leers. The German soldier hss only
120 rounds, and 30 of these are In his
knapsack. To secure them at
moment he must lose valuable time.
The American wehb belt*, according
to the war department, are far su
perior to the German leather bando
leer*. They are not affected by pro
longed rain* nor torrid weather. The
manufacture of these belta la one of
the moat Intricate of the operation* In

Hoy scout organizations are active
In locating black walnut trees, lllack
walnut lumber la needed by the war
department for use in making air
plane propellers and gunstocks.
Enough heavy lirownlng machine
'(una for Instruction purposes have
been shipped to every National tiuard
training camp and Natlonul army
cantonment In the country where
troops are In training. Heavy lirown
lng* for overseas training have been
■hipped.
i Light lirownlng rifles sufficient In
number to equip the machine-gun
units of more than four army divisions
have been manufactured, and over
; seas shipment of one half has begun.
The oUier half of the output goes to
army divisions In this country.
At every training camp In the coun
try plans of tho commission on train
ing camp activities have been carried
out to provide athletic facilities for
the men. Buseball heads the list In
popularity, and full equipment has
been placed In the camps. More than
70,000 baseballs and 8,000 bats have
been sent. At Camp Lewis, Washing
ton, there are 10 baseball fields In use.
Practically every company lu each
camp division throughout the country
has its teani end there are company,
battalion, regimental and Interregl
mental leagues.
Every form of track athletics occu
pies the attention of men training at
the camps. As many as 800 men have
taken part In dlvlslouul contests, and
track meets have been witnessed by
more than 20,000 spectators.
Where facilities permit. Instruction
la swimming Is given. Men nre first
given laud Instruction and then sent
Into the water. Tennis courta have
been built In every camp, one having
40 courts, and the sport la rapidly gain
ing lu popularity. Through the gene
rosity of golf club* located near the
camps, the demand for golf couraes la
partly being met. Polo matches are
frequently held, and competition for
places on tho teams Is keen.
There Is a list of 137 occupation*
where the demand for men in the Mar
department constantly exceeds the sup
ply.
A pressing need exists In the army
for men experienced In handling mules,
and before all future needs are met a
recruiting campaign rnny become neces
sary. No difficulty has been experi
enced In getting men who can buy and
handle horses, but blucksmltlui are
scarce.
There Is a constant demand for
butchers, and cooks are greatly need
ed. In aevcrat technical branches,
particularly the engineers, men for the
higher position* are plentiful, but the
worker* for the ranks are scarce. Ex
perienced mechanics, especially those
familiar with automobiles, are alwaya
In demand.
More luterpretera than can be used
have applied for positions with ihe
war department, and applications for
commissions as array chaplains are
alao In excea* of the need. The ezceae
totals thousand* In each case. Clerk*
for general work are plentiful, but

Under a new agreement the array

ports. The post office department will
deliver y>e mall to military authorities
at thfe port of embarkation In this
country and receive It from them at a

present at least, continue under the
direction of the post office department
In France.
The first I'orto Rlcnn laborers to
