SOLDIERS IN FRANCE erica's Entry Into the War One of the Biggest Features (By the Associated Press). T)je third year of the world war doses with the fortunes of the conr flict favoring- the Entente. The Central Powers sustained mo mentous setbacks, both military and political, during the twelve months. On both the western and eastern ronts in Europe the Teutons find themselves on the defensive at the ad vent of the fourth year. They fight on lines newly-established after forced retirement from terrain which they had won in earlier days at a tremendous sacrifice. Meanwhile new enemy powers, nota bly the United States, have been drawn ia by the Central Empires and prog ress toward the achievement of the ultimate aim of the Entente and Its allies has been furthered by political disturbance which will remain memor able in the history of all times. Chief among: these are the fall of two crowned heads Nicholas of - Rus sia and Constantine of Greece. Iz Rus sia autocracy has given way to a Re public. In Greece a kingdom remains but not a pro-Teutonic one, Entente pressure having won supremacy in this part of the Balkans. Political events within the German and Austrian empires, featured by the fall of Chancellor von Bethmann-Holl-we?, have led to open discussions of peae'e in the German reichstag as the fourth year dawns. In Great Britain, the third year clos ed with Winston Spencer Churchill, former First Lord of the Admiralty, re turned to the Cabinet with the port folio of Minister of Munitions. Portugal and Roumania threw in their fortunes with the Entente short ly after the third year began. The United States entered in April, follow ed by Cuba and Liberia. Panama pledged the United States her aid in defending the Panama Canal. Costa Rica put her naval base at our dis posal. China, Bolivia, Guatemala and Brazil severed diplomatic relations with Germany. Uruguay expressed her sym pathy for the United States. Three new nations were born during the year. Poland was created a king dom under German and Austrian di rection. In Mecca the Arabians over threw Turkish rule and declared inde pendence. In the Balkans, liberty was restrred to Albania, which was estab- i snea as a republic under Italian pro tection and with French military aid. An estimate made two months before the end of the third year voiced by Arthur Henderson, of the British War Council placed the number of men killed at 7,000.000 since August, 1914. French General Headquarters recently estimated 1,500,000 Germans had been killed up to March 1. Mr. Henderson estimated the total casualties at more than 45,000,000. The first and second American con tingents of troops landed in France on June 25 and 27. Nearly 10,000,000 Americans of mili ary age registered on June 5 un der the selective draft law, and from tee are being selected the men who m comprise the great army contin gents which America is planning to sd to Europe.

Fight ing in these regions continues after three months, during which the French have advanced from one to five miles along a fifty-mile front. The present French ., line runs from northwest of faolssons, through Rheims to Auberive In June, 1917. the British began an attack on Messines and Wyschaete in an effort to straighten out the Ypres ealient. Again British flyers dominat ed the air. The British hart srn entire year mining the earth for this offensive, which was begun with an explosionso terrific that it was heard in London. Beyond Messines, for two miles east and northeast, the British won and consolidated ground, captur ed more than 7,400 prisoners and great stores of artillery. Gaining every ob jective, they placed themselves astride the Tpres-Comines Canal, having- ad vanced three miles on an eight mile front. Portuguese and Bels-fan aided in this offensive. In recent days the fighting there had been confined to raiding operations. It is estimated that during April, May and June the Germans suffered 350,000 casualties on the western front. The Russians, having in June of 1916 begun an offensive from the Pripet Marshes to the Roumanian frontier, speedily captured Czernowitz and the rest of Bukovina, together with Brody in Galicia, and in August they enter ed Stanislau for the third time in tie war. These operations forced the Aus-tro-Germans to relinquish lines they had held throughout the winter of 1915-1916. The Halicz bridgehead fell in Sep tember, but the subsequent advance on Lemberg was not prc-secuted because the plight of Roumania demanded the transfer of Russian troops to aid their Balkan ally. After the Russian revolution, the Russians made a feint to advance on Pinsk, to cover the actual operations resumed in July, against Lemberg. This latter front extended eighteen and one half miles. Known as "Regiments July First," these troops, reinvigorat ed by the consciousness of political lib erty, , confounded German military prophets by the magnitude and extent of their offensive. Led by Alexander Kerensky, Minis ter of War, and observed by American army officers, the "Regiments July First" forced the Teutons to evacuate Brzezany, arid they captured many im portant positions, including terrain west and south of Halicz town and strongly defended positions northwest of Stanislau. .On July 11 Halicz was taken, thus smashing the Austro-Ger-man front . between Brzezany and the Carpathians. This Russian operation broadened by mid-July, so that it extended from the Gulf of Riga to the Roumanian front, a distance of 800 miles. The Germans were reported to be rushing troops from the Italian and French fronts. Widespread enthusiasm was created throughout Russia, and the moral ef fect on the other Entente powers was tremendous. Italy, declaring war against Ger many on August 28, began a more vig orous prosecution of her earlier of fensive against Austria. "With dramatic swiftness the Third Army, under the Duke of Aosta, storm ed and captured Gorizia, hitherto con sidered impregnable. By January 1 the Italians had captured 1,200 square miles. After a winter of artillery duels, Italy resumed her offensive on the Car so front in the campaign toward Trieste. Within a month the Austrian lines were broken from Castagnavizza to the sea. Italy inflicted losses of 85,000 on the Austrians and lost heav ily herself. Austria hurried reinforce ments from the Russian front. In the Trentino the Italians took the offensive in June and after terrific fighting captured the Austrian posi tions on Monte Ortigara and Agnello pass. These they were forced to re linquish, however, in the face of Aus trian counter attacks. In the Balkans the year's military de velopment saw occupation of Roumania by the Teutons a gain of great eco nomic value because of the oil and grain fields. The Roumanian army, re formed, is co-operating with the Rus sians. Bulgaria won successes of moderate importance, including the capture of the Grecian port of Kavala. 1 The newly equipped Serbian army ar rived at Salonlki in August and began an offensive which won Ostrovo, on the road to Monastir. This offensive, re sumed in the spring with the co-operation of Entente and Venizelist troops, won "Monastir and Cerna. In Greece the military moves of the Entente forces included a blockade of Greece and temporary French occupa tion of Athens. A brilliant British campaign in Mes opotamia accomplished the capture of Kut-el-Amara, in February, and of Bagdad, terminus of the Berlin-to-Bag-dad railway, in March. The capture of Bagdad had a deep moral effect in the Orient, particularly in Arabia, where many natives revolted from Turkish rule. Russians operating in Persia took Hamadan and further north, in Turk ish Armenia, Russians captured Van. In the Holy Land the British open ed a new era in the history of the East. Their advance has carried them nearly to Gaza. Their objective is Je rusalem, which the Turks were report ed in June to have partly evacuated. Except for submarine operations, na val writers have found little ,to en gage their attention during the past year. Germany continued to rely on U-boats. This policy led to unrestrict ed warfare which drew the United States into the conflict. U-boats destroyed an estimated gross tonnage of more than 4,000,000 during the year. -This included 2,000,000 fly ing the British flag sunk from Febru ary 25 to July 1. America's destroyer flotilla arrived in British waters In May. Without the loss of a ship or a man, American war ships convoyed the first American troops to France.

National Special Aid Our report of last Wednesday's meet ing was so gloomy that we feel we ought to publish the supplementary re port for the encouragement of our members. Before the books were clos ed for the week two block mssengers reported almost $8 and a check was re ceived fro mMrs. William Latimer for $75. This contribution, many times larger than any we have received, would be most gratefully accepted just for our current expenses, but it is doubly so since we understand that Mrs. Latimer wishes $50 of it to go toward our bale of cotton of which we stand so much in need. Mrs. Bullock, Sr., who is also inter ested in our getting the cotton, sent another contribution for it and we have $8 worth of cans engaged which brings our cotton fund up to $96. Thik means that we are within $30 of the re quired amount and the cotton is prac tically in sight. With the cotton in hand we can go on with the Carrol in continent pads which are in such de mand in the French hospitals. Several ladies have learned to ard well enough to make the rolls that are used in quilting and we can produce a better looking article than before, al though all of our pads are made ex actly according to the instructions that we receive from France and when they ask for non-absorbent cotton they do not wish the absorbent. They have a reason for everything they require. Some of the ladies at Belk -Williams' were so much interested in the huge triangular bandages that the French doctors require (they measure 66 inches on the straight), they told us that they were planning to contribute enough for a bolt of homespun. Captain Walter MaoRae heard of it and thought to ex pedite the good work and contributed $3 toward the fund. Before la3t week's account was closed they brought in $3.25 and Captain MacRae's contribution which brought the week's amount up to $44.07, which has been the approxi mate amount for several weeks. Mr. George Heyer, chairman of the Cornelius Harnett school district, has kindly given permission to the Brook lyn unit of the National Special Aid to meet in the basement - of the school house during the summer months. He says he cannot tell what arrangements will be made, after school begins and cannot commit .himself .for the winter. The ladles appreciate this privilege greatly because it affords them a cool and pleasant meeting place. , Mrs.. ; J. Wallace West wishes all the ladies in terested to meet her ther Tusday af ternoon at 3:30 o'clock and all who can do so are asked to bring a: chair or. camp stool. There are benches, in, the base ment and if the ladles, wish they may use them. TheiBrooklyn '.bjoek messen gers are asked to tryj.iii.jiair 'pollec iiiwi to' send1 them to - Mrs. W.estj sq that she can report them to the general meeting next Wednesday. Next Wednesday there will be a bus iness meeting of the National Special Aid In the hall at 5:30 o'clock. We ex pect to have reports from all the de partments. Mrs. W. N. Harriss will re port on the wool; Mrs. Cameron on tha canning; Mrs. Dauer on finance.

Suffragist Disgusted by Suffra gettes In Washington. (By Mrs. Al Fairbrotner, First Vice President N. C. Equal Suffrage Asso ciation, in Greensboro Everything.) We never thought it would come to this. We never thought that brave and fair-minded American men would give American women with a griev ance, real or imaginary, any excuse to attempt the martyr act and thereby bring discredit upon themselves and others Of their sex working in a dif ferent way for a common cause. Had Premier Asquith been as appre ciative of the English women before the war as since its prosecution there Would have been no militant suffra gette in England. And if obstinate and prejudiced congressmen had not refus ed to listen to reason when addressed by patriotic and conservative women who merely asked the privilege of cit izenship enjoyed by the most depraved and det.-pi.abo of men, the disgraceful scenes enacted in Washington the past few weeks would not have been pos sible. A man who likes argument for argu ment's sake said to us the other day: "If the picketing of the White House results in the passing of a Federal amendment extending the franchise to women, you will be sorry that you criticised the methods or the militants." But he is mistaken. No matter how desirable a thing may be, if the price paid for it means the sacrifice of something of far greater value, it is not worth what it costs and Is a poor investment, either commercially or so ciologically considered. "What proflteth a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" and what proflteth it a woman to win a vote with its influence all gone? The martyr act may be applauded by the small group of fanatics as insane on the subject of suffrage as those who are willing to sacrifice the good, name of their own nation for an im mediate personal victory, but the sane and conservative men and women of this country and other countries have but little patience with such exploits. The American woman who wants suf- , frage on high grounds and because she has shown herself capable of the re sponsibility she wishes to assume, feels that the privilege of voting for a thou- sand years, if she should live thati ' long, would not remove the stairr of a. prison garment worn for one hour aaiL the penalty for treason! j North Carolina Suffragists the old-i er women of the Anna Howard Shaw! school, who have pioneered and won to their side many of the strongest andi best men of the State, have never giveaj encouragement in any way to the so ca!I.d Woman's party' wh'nh has eevn eral times attempted to break into the State, and of which the White Housef pickets afe a fair sample. When tha two very attractive young girls caniaj to Charlotte several months ago ana attempted to organize the State, it was noticeable that the women outside ofl -the Queen City known and recognizee as suffragists were conspicuous Jby their , absence at the banquet which they were all urged to attend. Whila. in the list of members appeared a few local names that created some sur prise, it was understood that hospital ity was probably strained in a desira to be courteous to the young stran gers and that few of those present took it seriously. We have heard cl no alarming spread of militancy in con servative Tld Tar Heelia, so we are forced to conclude that the movement enlisted but few followers. The North Carolina Equal Suffrage association is in favor of the Federal amendment as advooated by Dr. Shaw and Mrs. Catt, and deplore the fapt that congressmen from this State are; not big enough to see the justice of It, But the North Carolina Equal. Suffrage association, individually nd collective ly, will never consent to sell their birthright for a mess of pottage, even if the men of the State continue to show themselves less intelligent anl less American than the Western broth-j er who talks less of democracy and j practices it more.
