The reserves on both sides are the vital factor in the titanic game that is being played out with the allied su preme commander matching wits against the German general staff. Of- ncers nere pay high tribute to the genius of General Foch because he has avoided the employment of his maximum power and has blocked the. ucuvcbu muuiumiBr anu moyon General Pershing's army has been more than doubled since the German drive began and the great stream of reinforcements is continuing steadilyM Tnere is every reason to believe that it will have been tripled or quadrupled before the final phases of the great battle begin. In addition Italian troops have been brought to the west ern front without weakening the Ital ian line. All of these considerations prompt officers here to believe that General von Stein was attempting to conceal rather than to disclose the facts in his statement to the reichstag and the obvious conclusion drawn is that if he found it necessary to resort to word trickery to get the military budget through without a tumult in that body over the cost of the present offensive and its failure to bring peace within sight.

It had been hoped ;that the announcement of the winners would be made by the first of this week, but the delay in looking oyer the papers filed by the contestants makes it necessary to postpone mail ing the awards . until next Sunday morning. Part of the work judging the papers has already been accom plished, but as the judges are among the city's busiest men, they ask that they be given plenty of time to care fully consider the papers, and While they believe they will nish their work before the end of the week, it has been decided that the announcement would be made next Sunday morning, the articles of the winners to be pub lished at the same time.

King.) Over 500 representative colored women from every section of the state are in the-rity to attend thS twelfth annual session of the independent Order of J. R. Gidding and Jollifee tThion Tents, which began in their new temple yesterday morning at 11 O'clock. This organization Was found ed by Victoria Loftin, a Wilmington colored woman. She organized with only 87 members. Under her wise ad ministration the order has grown re markably and now has over 9,000 members and 224 local tents in its jurisdiction. The delegates are enthusiastic over the splendid achievements of their order, which is composed strictly of women who are rendering splendid service to their country and race. The scope of the order from a financial viewpoint can be seen when $7,000 has been paid into the home office here within the last few days. Last night in Victoria's Temple, hundreds of representative colored people assembled to pay tribute to the founder and president, the occasion being her thirty-second weeding annl versary. Various bodies of tents gave her over $221 in money and the gifts were many and handsome. Tonight at 8 o'clock Mayor P. Q. Moore will deliver the address of wel come on behalf of the city and other addresses of welcome and responses to some will be made at St. Luke's church. The convention will close Friday night. HUFHAM TO PAY COST AND DOCTOR BILLS ALSO Settlement was affected today in the case charging LeRoy Hufham with striking Thomas Craig over the head with an iron golf elub, and the de fendant gets off with payment of the boy's doctor bills. The parents of the Craig boy have not shown any ten- tency to prosecute and this explains the light manner in which the Hufham boy got off. Young Craig was struck at the Cape Fear golf links several weeks ago and his condition was ex tremely serious for a time. Both were working as Caddies on the links. Judgment suspended on the pay ment of the cost -with the understand ing that the defendant settle all doc tor bills incurred, was the judgment entered in the case charging Margaret Chaplin, colored, with throwing lye In the eyes of a young negro man, in this morning's session of the record er's court.
