Attacking In Wave*, the Teu ton* Are Slaughtered by Brit ish Artillery Fire—French Av iator* Busy. Since the middle of last week the German armies in Flanders dally have been trying to wrest from the British the territory taken from them in the recent big offensive of Field Marshal Haig As on previous days Crown Prince Rupprect of Bavaria on Wednesday unleashed large num bers of his troops in an attempt to recapture terrain on the Ypres sector, where the British are se riously threatening his communl cation line with Ostend and the submarine base at Zebrugge. Ever watchful, the gunners of Haig again wrought havoc among the attacking waves and dis persed the J3ermans with heavy casualties and retained all their positions intact, While British and French air men continue their bombing operations against Germany’s submarine base at Zebrugge and points of military importance be hind the lines, the French avia tors are keeping up their attack on German towns and cities in reprisal rur Lilt. sucning oy crer man aircraft of the open town of Bar-le-Duc. More than 15,000 pounds of explosives are report ed to have been dropped on num erous German settlements.among them the famous town of Baden, famed as health resort. Likewise, the Italians are giv ing the Austrians little respite from aerial incursions, again hav ing. dropped four tons of pro jectiles on military objectives at Pola, the great Austrian naval base on the Adriatic, and bombed other points of military advant age. In addition the Italians have repulsed decisively another Austrian attack on the western slopes of Monte San Gabriele, in the Gorizia sector. Great Britain’s loss in mer chant vessels through attack by submarines and by striking mines last week was the Jowest since Germany started the intensified submarine warfare in February. Only 13 merchantmen met with disaster last week as against 15 the week before, which was the previous low record. The embargo placed by Great Britain on the exportation of al] “supplies' tbHolland ana Scandl navia, was made on the Insist ence of the American govern ment, so that its own embargo against the neutrals, aiming at the cutting off of shipments oi all kinds to Germany, should not be nullified. Ten More Lee County Men Go to Camp Jackson. The local exemption board was no tified by Adjutant General Young last week to hold back the colored regis trants drafted and who were to have left this week for Camp Jackson, Col umbia, S. C. The following white men in the quota of 100 per cent, left for Camp Jackson Wednesday morning: Daniel W. Morris. Willie A. Upchurch. Marion C. McLaurln. John D. Wicker. Landon L. Clark. Rhenalda W.

McLeod, of Moore county, has had printed by the Cole Printing Company a report of the schools of that county fur 1916 ’17. This report also gives comparative statistics showing ten years’ progress and development of the schools. It gives the value of the school property, local tax schools, schools having two or more teachers, rural libraries, month ly salary of white teachers, painted school houses in the county, boys en rolled in corn and other clubs, girls in canning and cooking clubs, and much other information about the schools of the county. This report gives illustra tions showing the kind of school build* logs that were In use a few years ago and the modern, up-to-date school buildings of today. Some of, the old buildings were In a dilapidated condi tion and from the pictures they appear 3d as if they were about ready to fall lown. There is a marked contrast be iween the old and new buildings. This report shows that great progress has seen made in the sohoqle of Moore jounty. In formation Wanted.
