Striking the Germans on a front
that bss been quiet for the past six
weeks, the French have once more
broken through the enemy defenses
snd sdvsnced their lines. This new
blow at the enemy was launched be
tween Castel and Mallly-Ralneval, on
the Plcardy front, southeast of
Amlons, where there has been but
little fighting since the French by a
local attack pushed the Hermann out
of Senecst wood late in May.
The attack was along a front of
approximately three miles. It swept
the Germans back out cf the village
of Castel and the Anchln„/grm, about
a mile to the south, aftd cleared out
a number of strong enemy positions.
The French penetrated the German
lines to a dopth of more than a mile.
The American attack on Cantlgny,
some time ago, advanced the line ma
terially ,at that point, while the Aus
tralians uml Americans on July 4 and
6 cut deeply Into the German lines at
Hatnel ami Vlllers Hretonneain, south
of the Somme. The French attack
was launched at a point between po
sitions of the Americans at Cantlgny
and tho Australians further north.
Between the Marne and the Also*,
the French have continued their of
fensive operations. It la reported that
the village of Longpont, south of
Corey, the capture of which was re

PRESIDENT VETOES PRICE SET
FOR COMING WHEAT CROP
Washington—ln vetoing the |2S,-
0(A),000 annual agricultural appropria
tion bill becausa of Its amendment fix
ing the government guaranteed mini
mum wheat price at 12.40 a bushel,
the President Informed Congress that
he did not believe the farmers of
America "depend upon a stimulation
of price to do their utmost to servs
the nation and the world at thla tlma
af crisis "
A fixad minimum pries of (2.40 a
bushel, the President said, would In
crease the price o( flour from $10.60
to sl2 60 s barrel and would put an
additional burden of $387,000,000 this
year on the consumers. Such an In
crease in price, he said, would forca
a similar Increase in Canada, thus en
larging the whole scale of financial
operations In this country.
The lYesldent said the patriotic
spirit of the fsrmers has been "wor
thy of all pralae and has ahown them
playing a moat admirable and grati
fying part In the full mobilisation of
the resources of tha country." lis
added that the btimper cropk they
have raised this year have relieved
"the anslety of the nations arrayed
against Germany with regard to their
food supplies "

' French snd Italians Are Steadily
Pressing the Germsns Back

French pressure along the line
from the Marne to the Alsne, which
began two weeks ago as a series of
local attacks, has begun to yield re
sults which are appreciable whn;i
taken from the Germans and Htrong
viewed on the map. The town of
Courcy. east of Rets forest, has been
taken from the Germans and strong
positions captured by the slow, nielli
odlcnl advance that has been the
source of much annoyance to the en- ■
enly for several days.
As a result of the assaults made
by the French from Ambleny, south
of the Alsne, to the hills south of
Courcy, their line has been straighten- j
ed and advanced to high ground.
There has been some reason for be
lieving that when the Germans re
sume their offensive on the weatem
front they will attempt to break
through between the Marne and the
Alsne In a dash straight for Paris.
On the Bi'.tlsh front, the Australians
have been In action once more, pene
trating German positions and captur
ing prisoners. On the rest of the lines,
held by the British, there have been
the usual artillery duels and patrol
engagements.
French apd Italian detachments are

i The expected renewal of the Oer
j-man offennlve In France has begun,
j Fierce battles are lm progress on both
J aides of the famous cathedral city
i of Rheims. which since the first offen-
I «lve the Marne has stood the
I ape* of a sharp salient Into the Qsr
man line.
West of Rheims the Germans with
the pressure of large numbers of
troops, the unleashing of which was
preceded by a veritable hall of high
explosives and gas shells, have been
enabled to cross the Marne at several
places.. East of the city, however, they
have been held for the smallest of
gains by the tenacious resistance of
the defenders of the line. Altogether
the two battle fronts aggregate about
65 miles in length.
American troops are fighting vali
antly on the sectors they have been
holding and at two points have met
with notable success. At Vaux they
not only broke down- a violent attack
by the enemy, but drove him back sev
eral hundred yards and only returned
to their former positions when the ad
vance of the Germans southeast of
Chateau-Thierry across the Marne
made the reoccupatlon of their
trenches of strategic value.
Along the Marne, between the town
of Fossoy and the river Bumerlin,
where the Germans crossed the Marne
the Americana in a strong counter
attack forced back the enemy to the
right bank of tlie stream. At other
points along the river they used to the
greatest advantage their machins
guns against enemy elements which
were crossing the river #n pontoon
bridges, kilting or wounding many of
them. In the counter-attack near-
Ffissoy between 1,000 and 1,900 Ger
mans were made prisoner by the Am
ericans. The captured contingents In-1
eluded a complete brigade staff. The
French general In command on this
sector sent a congratulatory message
to the general in command of the
American troopn.
The Germans In addition to their
tremendous expenditure of explosive
and gas shells used numerous tanks
against the lines of the defenders and
also opened with numerous naval
guns bombardments of towns and cit
ies far behind tbe battle line, dropping
upon them shells from 10 to 12-lnch
pieces.
The details of tbe strategic schema
the 'Germans have In view have not
yet been unfolded. It seems apparent,
however, that the main objective in
the first stages of the offensive is the
throwing of their lines southward on
boftl sides of Rheims, enveloping that
city and forcing Its capitulation.
REBULTS 80 FAR SHOW
FOCH WAS FOREWARNED
The fact that stubborn resistance
met every German rush all along the
line shows that General Foch was
fully forewarned of) the general terri
tory In which the attack was develop
ed. It appears certain that he had his
reserves close up and outgeneralled
the enemy in- this vital factor. Offi
cials were strongly Inclined to be
lieve that the present German effort la
Intended only as a forerunner for a
later assault to the north toward the
Channel ports. If It proves successful
In dislodging the Franco-Italian de
fenders of Rheims by later direct as
saults or by pressing their plncer
movement, It la argued that the
Franco-British reserves back of
Amiens might be drawn into the de
fense of Paris, weakening the line In
the Albert region which Is regarded
as (he certain prime objective of the
whole German plan of campaign.

C. S. Pritcbette Tells How He Was
Delivered Froib Terrible Stom
ach Pains, and Kidney
Disorder, . •
Thousands of men and women
have stomach trouble and don't
know it They pay little or no
nttention to the small warning
signals which come to them after
every meal—that heavy, uneasy
feeling, slight gas formation in
the stomach, acid risings, and
other symptoms which gradually
grow worse as time wears on until
Dually the victim finds himself in
the grasp of that most common of
all human ailments, indigestion.
This, even with the best of care,
is likely to develop into kidney
complaint, constipation, rheuma
tism, liver trouble and other seri
ous ills. ,
"I am a painter," says C. 8.
Pritchett of 700 North Graham
Street, Charlotte. "For a long
time I .Buffered from indigestion
which soon spread to my, bowels
and kidneys. My stomach seemed
to bloat with gas until the pain
was almost unbearable. .Then I
became costive and was forced to
take powerful laxritiveS: But ail
my troubles are over now because
I have found a medicine that has
corrected all these faults. It's
name is Dreco lam no longer
troubled with that gassy, bloated
feeling and the pnins in my stom
ach are gone. My bowels now
have a regular normal action.
Formerly I had to get up duriug
the night as many as 8 or'lO limes
to relieve my kidneys; but Dreco
has stopped that.
"I now sleep sound and well
and don't have that drowsy feel
ing mornings. I now eat many,
things that I couldn't before.
"I had 'painter's colic' often
but since taking Dreco that never
bothers me.
"I gained 10 pounds in weight."
Mr. Pritchett is a prominent
member of the First Baptist
church of Charlotte and is well
and favorably known among his
large acquaintanceship. He is
most enthusiastic in his praise of
the new herbal medicine, Dreco j
and urges all his friends to try it.
Dreco is sold by almost every
good druggist and is strongly
recommended in Graham by Gra
ham Drug Co.
