There are expected other develop
meuts in the Mrs. King murder
case; new things are promised and
it is now a theory that a German
spy, shooting at Gastog Means,

to the story and if the German spy
is put on trial thero may be yet the
biggest sensation and the greatest
mystery ever staged in North Caro
lina.
result of tbe tremendous slaughter
of tbe men of this generation, is
the ambition of the Mormon church
today. Reports from their semi
annual conference held in Salt Lake
City recently suggests that they are
only waiting for the end of the war
to start out on a world campaign,

What possibly may prove tc
be tbe prelude to tbe long ex
pected resumption of bostlUtiec
by tbe Germans on tbe western
front is being played.
Southeast of Ypres, from the
region of Voormezeele to La
Clytte, the Germans have
launched an attack against the
British and French troops hold
ing the tine, and at certain pointc
over the five-mile baWe front
they have penetrated front lini
trenches. Apparently, howvver
over the greater part of the field
of combat they met with repulse.
As Is usnal. the enemy began
the attack after a heavy prelimi
nary bombardment. The ground
gained is south of Dickebusch
lake and in Ridgewood, around
which hard fighting was continu
ln?‘he ^bjecU^fe^f; the enemy “**
seems to be the pushing forward '
of his line in this region in order
still fnrther to outflank Ypres
on the southwest and press on
toward Poeperinghe and the
railway line running between
that town and Ypres.
As yet only meager advices
have come through concerning
the nature of the engagement,
but unofficial reports indicate
that it was made only in division
al strangth. Whether it would
develop later into another of the
great battles that have been
fought in this area could not be
foretold.
On the remainder of the front
in Flanders and Picardy artillery
duels and small operations con
tinue on isolated sectors. The
French south of La Clytte have
penetrated German advanced
positions and taken prisoners
and the Australians east of
Amiens have again taken por
tions of the German line. The
artillery has been particularly
heavy on both banks of the
Avre, southwest of Amiens, and
on the sector in Picardy held by
the American troops. On the
Toul sector the Americans for
the first time have opened
against the Germans with their
heavy artillery.
un me otner battle fronts the
operations continue o£ a minor
character. In Mesopotamia the
British have advanced their line
to within 80 miles of Mosul,
capturing the town of Korkukuk
which the Turks e vaeuated with
out giving battle.
The reports that the American
army in Prance was fast becom
ing a factor of great importance
in the war have been confirmed
by Secretary of War Baker. In
a statement Mr. Baker said that
the forecast he made in January
that there was strong likelihood
that early in the present year
500,000 American troops would
be despatched to Prance had
been surpassed.
