Close of Business,' November 1, 1918. William A. Graham of Wiirrenton, Ma for In 120th North Carolina In- ' fantry, Describes Fighting on "Hindy's Line.5 (Special Star Correspondence.) Rocky Mount. Dec. 4. The story of . ' Uve glorious part taken by the North Carolinians of the "Old Hickory" dl- Vision in breaking through the Hin denburgr line on September 23. which (eat was commented on by Marshal ' Foch as "openinsr th rjd 10 final vic tory," was told by Major William A. Graham, of Warrenton. while on a visit in the oity. Major Graham N5nunded the econd battalion of tae liOlh regiment of the 30th din-ins the smashing drive. .nd went throusrh the entire campaign Without itettinsr a scratch. He left his unit on November S. ihrve days before the signing of the armistice, for the v Vnited States, having been selected to Hid in training the November regis trants. The cancellation of the No vember calls, however, caused a hitch In the plans, and the major is now at Camp Dix. New Jersey., awaiting- fur ther orders. The "Old Hickory" arrived in France In May, and did trench duty in the -Tpres sector, in Belgian Flanders, through July. It was next assigned to the front between Cambrai and St. - Quentin, and it was there that the line "believed impregnable by the Germans was smashed forever. Major Graham said the Tar Heels '.were told before they went to the attack on the morning of September '29 that they were going up against the hardest knot on the western front; '-. 'that if they gained tneir objectives it would be possible to flank the German line on both ends, and bring nearer .'the end of the war. In mild terms, " they were told almost the impossible (jay before them. v Another fact that the people of the Old North State may be proud of, said .the major, is that the "Old Hickory"" "was selected for this task, which fin 'ally blasted all hopes the Germans had 'or victory. " i The HIndenburg defense system, the officer stated, was shattered by the j 3 Oth and 27th (New York troops) di visions and the British fourth army. The two divisions comprised the . second army corps, and was brigaded v with the British fourth under General Rawlinson. There were approximately 25,000 Americans in the two divisions, and with 50,000 British, the attacking force totaled about 75,000 men. Major Graham's battalion included former national guard troops from Warrenton, Reidsville, Oxford and other places in that section of the ... 6tate. A number of selective service ., men were also in his ranks. The 120th . was under command of Col. S. W. Min or, of Durham. The majority of the men from Rocky Mount and this sec tion were in the 119th regiment, under command of Col. J. Van B. Metts, of AVilminfftnn TVia Sftth was rnm mnnfl- ed by.Seneral Lewis. The 5 "Old Hickory," together with the New York and British troops, went to the attack early on the morning of September 29, said Major Graham, ' the North Carolina boys going for- - ward in the vicinity of Bellicourt ond Nauroy, both places being between Cambrai and St. Quentin. On the very first day of the attack, stated the of- ficer, the Hindenburg defenses were pierced, and the Americans and Brit- Ish forces poured through ithe gap. Major Graham said the Tar Heels fought like devils, and upheld the fighting traditions of the Old North State to the fullest extent. They not nly went through the German defen ces, but on the first day the 120th alone taptured 1,600 prisoners, and a num er of guns, and machine guns, and A large quantity of war materials. The Huns fought for all they were worth, but, said the major, nothing could stop he- onrushing North Carolinians and their allies. For three weeks the Americans and British advanced, pushing the Ger mans back toward the Rhine. During this period the North, Carolinians mov rd forward 19 miles on the most trongly fortified part of the entire ? German line, occupying the villages of Jonocourt, Premont, Bellicourt, ; Naurcy, Bussigny, Vaux-Andigny, , Branconrt, and numerous farms and strategic positions. They started from Bellicourt and Nauroy and at the end tt the three weeks had advanced as rar as Chatillon. Here the North Car linians were relieved by the Austral ians. For this great achievement the 30th nd 27th divisions were warmly prais ed by General Rawlinson and by Field Marshal Haig. Major Graham said these fighting units won the admira tion and respect of the allied fighters, : and had the reputation of being among the best fighting divisions on the west tern front. The- officer stated the Germans were 'Jhighly confident that they could hold the Hindenburg line at the place where it was broken. This is attested by the fact that after passing through the main defense system not a single 'trench or a- strand of barbed wire bar 'red their way during the remainder of 'the advance. Major Graham says the Germans op posing the Tar Heels were splendid men physically, and were good flght v era. They were well clothed and fed, and put up a stiff resistance. Their morale, however, was nothing like it was during the great advance of v -March last, which threatened the des , tiny of the. world. The officer stated he believed the Tar : Heels acquitted themselves -with such , -remarkable credit chiefly because they knew the eyes of their loved ones and '- - 'friends at home -were upon them; they .'-knew the be'st was expected of them. They . also knew that the people at home were behind them to the limit; ;and it was these facts, he said, that 'kept their morale to the highest op- timism, and enabled them to perform .'what was believed to the the hardest ',. task assigned to any' body of troops :-! during the 1918 campaign. V Major Graham was formerly with -the third regiment, North Carolina na , tional guard, and served during the ' 'Mexican 'border excursion, i.y : SENATORS TALK FIVE , HOURS ABOUT PEACE, ETC. - (Continued from Page 'One.) -peacefully in the futue..

Washington, Dec. 4. The conference today between Charles Piez, vice presi dent and general manager .of the Emergency Fleet corporation; Senatof F. M. Simmons,, of North Carolina, and Senator Porter McCumber, of North Dakota, failed to materialize any defin ite policy as to' the future of concrete ship construction. Another meeting will be held at an Nearly date. The writer learns on trustworthy au thority that the shipping board is in clined to. commit itself to a policy of curtailing concrete shipbuilding 75 per cent, based on war time orders. The story goes that the advocates of steel construction favor the adoption of such a program, despite the notable exam ple of the concrete ship wnicn esiau lished the merits of concrete in this making of sea-going vessels. The city of Wilmington has a con tract from the -government for the construction of eight concrete .ships and any wholesale curtailment of this type of shipbuilding would endanger the completion of its contracts. How ever, Senator Simmons and Senator McCumber are pledged to the concrete program and will use their influence in making it a realisation. The construction of the wireless station at Monroe, Union county, is in immediate prospect. Bids for the pur chase of machinery and apparatus for the radio base that will link North Carolina with Europe and South Amer ica are being considered just at this time. Contracts for the towers will be opened on December 9. Secretary Daniels stated some time ago that this wireless station would be one of the most important and larg est in the world. Representative John Small stated to day that the committee on rivers and (harbors would likely approve the new project for deepening of the oar at the mouth of the Oape Fear river within the next ten days. , The pro posal is to deepen the bar below Southport from 26 to 36 feet, the job entailing an expeniture of $398,000 "I think that the committee will act favorably upon the proposal," said Representative Small today. However, the committee will have to first ap prove the project and it will have to be incorporated in to the next rivers and harbors bill. Captain John D. Biggs, of Williams ton, Martin county, p"assed through Washington today returning to his North Carolina home from Camp Hum phreys, where he has been stationed. He has received his discharge from the army and will resume his duties in civil life. He belonged to the en gineers' corps and was recently com missioned $10,000 FOR BAPTIST MILLION-DOLLAR FUND J. F. Alexander of Forest City Gives $5,000 to Wake Forest and $5,000 To Meredith College. By WALTER M. GILMORE. Raleigh, Dec. 4. A 510,000 gift from Hon. J. F. Alexander, of Forest City, a prominent business man and former member of the legislature, is the big gest bit of news coming to the cen tral office of the millionrdollar cam paign for the Baptist schools of the state so far this week. General Man ager W. R. Cullom spent Sunday in FoTest City and brought back the cheering news. Of this amount $5,000 goes to Wake Forest college and $5,000 - goes to Meredith college. The interest on this invested fund is to be used in suppprt ing a boy and a girl from Rutherford county at these institutions each year as long as time shall list, or during the life of these institutions. This is one of the largest individual gifts made since the campaign started. Dr.R. T. Vann, who spent Sunday in Weldon, brought back the assurance that Weldon, under the leadship of Hon. Walter E. Daniel,, the campaign manager, would raise $5,000 as its share of the big endowment fund. A message from H. G. Dorsett, of Carrboro, states that his church raised over $600 in cash last Sunday for this fund, which is $100 in excess of their quota. Chapel Hill also, has gone be yond its apportionment by $100. The Baptists throughout the state and others will be distresed to learn of the serious illness of Rev. Walter N. Johnson, corresponding secretary of the state board of missions. Dr. Johnson was stricken down with in fluenza ten days ago at his home in Cary. He was brought to Rex hospital of this city last Sunday. INFLUENZA HAS SLAIN OVER 300,000 PERSONS INFLUENZA .. N . .

Between 300, 000 and 350,000 deaths from inufluenza and pneumonia have occurred among the civilian population of the United States since September 15, according, to estimates today of the public health service.- These calculations were bas ed on reports from cities and states keeping accurate records and public health officials believe they are con servative. The epidemic persists, .but deaths are much less numerous, according to re ports reaching here.

Forty divisions have arrived, of which the infantry personnel of 10 have been used as replacements, leaving 30 di visions now in France organized into three armies of three corps each-" Of their equipment-lie says: "Our entry into the war found us with few! of the the auxiliaries .neces sary for its conduct in the modern sense. Among our most important de ficiencies in material were- artillery, aviation, and tanks. In order to meet our requirements as rapidly as possible, we accepted the offer of the French government to provide us with the necessary artillery 'equipment of seventy-fives,- one fifty-five millimeter howit zers, and one fifty-fiWe G. P. F. guns from their own factories for thirty di visions. The wisdom of this course is full demonstrated tjy the fact that. although we soon began the manufact ure of these classes of guns at home, there were no guns of the calibersmen tfoned manufactured in America on our front at the date the armistice was signed. The only guns of these types produced at home thus far received in France are 109 seventy-five millimeter guns. "In aviation we were in the same situation, ahd here again the French government, came? to our aid. until our own aviation program should be -under way. We obtained from the French the necessary planes for training our per sonnel, and 'they have provided us with a total of 2,676 pursuit,' observation, and bombing planes. The first airplanes received from, home arrived in May, and altogether we hs.ve received 1,379. The first American squadron completely equipped by American production, in cluding airplanes, crossed the . German lines on August 7,1918. As to tanks, we were also ' compelled to rely, upon the French. " Here, however, we. were less fortunate, for the reason- that the French production could; barely, meet the requirements of their own armies. "It should bfr fully realized that?' the French "government has always taken a most liberal attitude - and: has been most anxious to give us every possible assistance in meeting our deficiencies in these as well as in 'other respects. Our dependence ' upon ; France tor ar tillery, aviation and tanks - was, of course, due to the fact 'that our indust ries had notbeen exclusively. devota, to military production. ;;.A11 credit, is due our manufacturers! for their efforts 'o meet "-our. requirements, as at the time the armistice was signed we were able to look forward to' the earlysupply ' of 1 ml the results following its use are often simply astonishing.
