The War.
It Seems That German Offen
sive Has Been Finally
Cheeked.
Under date of the 9th a cor
respondent of the London
Chronicle near the front wires
that paper:
"The tables are turned. The
Gcrmaan army, battered by
heavy gun fire for the past few
davs, is continuing its retro
oracle movement. It is falling
back with the British army fast
in its flank. Everything points
to the movement being definite
disaster rather than a tempo
rarv retreat. The Germans be-
iran retreating Tuesday morn
ing and the German wounded
were rushed to Arras. When
I left Amiens that day, a small
British force was waiting to
occupy the town as soon as the
Germans withdrew, which was
expected by Tuesday night.
"The British left wing is giv
ing the Germans no respite, the
cavalrv being especially val
ient. The British tried to de
tach the harried right wing and
annihilate it. In preventing
this, the comander seems to be
directing the retreat on Cam
brai and Tournai, evidently
with the intention of repassing
the Belgian border east of Lille.
"Each instant the rearward
progress of the Germans is
gaining momentum. Is it the
beginning of the end?"
Sign An Agreement Not to Quit
Until All Are Ready.
Paissia, France and Great
Britain Saturday signed an
agreement that none of the
three would make peace with
out the consent of all three na
tions. Following is the text of
the protocol signed by repre
sentatives of Great Britain
France and Russia:
"1'he undersigned, ciuiy
th.n:wi
f-peotive
declare i
au-
thereto by .their re
governments, hereby
s follows:
.-itish. French and Rus
sian g-overnmehts mutually en
gage not to conclude peace sep
arately during the present war.
"The three governments agree
that when the terms of peace
come to be discussed, no one of
the. allies will demand condi
tions of peace without the pre
vious agreement of each of the
other allies.
"In faith whereof the under
signed have signed this decla
ration and have affixed thereto
their seals."
Fifteen British fishing boats
were sunk in the North Sea a
nT.Y Cys ago by German war
ships. " , -
The British view 6F"tii nrst
month of the war is set forth in
the following:
"At the end of the first month
of the war the command of the
sea is left unchallenged in the
hands of Great Britain and her
allies. The main German and
Austrian fleets remain in their
harbors under, shelter of their
mines and batteries. Four Ger
man cruisers, one auxiliary
cruiser, two destroyers and a
submarine and one Austrian
cruiser have been sunk. A Ger
man dreadnought and a cruiser
have fled without fighting and
have" taken refuge in the Dard
anelles. The loss to the Brit
ish navy has been one light cru
iser only.-
Republican Hopes Blown Up.
Charlotte Ooserver.
At the very outset of Euro-
. ' i - j - 1 1 . r" .
nean nosuuties me uoservei
expressed the beliel tnat tnis
situation would endure to the
benefit of the Democratic party
as the party in powerand stop
the rise of the Republican tide.
The reasons were not obscure;
nevertheless, we rather feared
that the prediction might im
press some as fancitul or over
drawn. In the light of the later
events it transpires that we
might have safely said even
more, the change can have es
caped no observant eye. "In
five weeks," remarks the New
York Times, for example, "the
whole political situation has
changed. Not only have the
prospects of the parties for suc
cess been exactly reversed, but
the alignment of policies has
been abruptly altered. Five
weeks ago the public announce
ments of Republican leaders
concerning their sure victory in
November corresponded per
fectly with their private opin
ions, and met with agreement
in the inner councils of the
Democrats. The Republican
Congressmen weie preparing
for a Republican avalanche, not
merely for a Republican vie
torv. and the Democratic Con
gressmen were making ready
for a Waterloo. This was the
talk in lobby and cloakroom,
and it was the real reason why
the Republicans endured with
such equanimity the long siege
in Washington, which prevent
ed them from going home to
mend the fences. They felt
they did not need to mend
them; while the Democrats,
who felt an urgent need, were
lestive and hard to hold in the
Capital. To-day there is not
a responsible Republican Con
gressman who is not telling his
friends that the landslide has
ended before it began; that
there will be no avalanche; and
that the best the party can do
is to win the House by a small
majority, if it can do that.
The political transformation
would have been far less com
plete, or might not have ma
terialized, but for President
Wilson's intellectual and moral
character. That shines out
more brightly than ever before
Sentiment goes out to Sir. Wil
son not only as President but
because he is just such a Pres
iclent as the country would de
sire right now.
Food Dealers Indicted For Vio
lation of Sherman Law.
Thirty-one food dealers were
indicted in Washinton .Friday
by a Federal grand jury under
the Sherman law on counts
charging price-fixing. It was
the first big development in the
investigation the Department
of Justice is conducting, at the
direction of President Wilson,
alleged to have seized upon the
European war as a pretext to
increase the cost of living.
All the indicted men are local
produce dealers of commission
merchants. No nationally
known firm was indicted.
At the Department of justice
it was said government agents
worked in many States for evi
dence of price-fixing were ex
pected to make reports soon
which officials hoped would be
the basis of other indictments.
The men indicted in Wash
ington are charged with having
fixed prices every day by "bal
lots,"
ag
lated pi-ice lists which complete
ly eliminated a . competitive
market for food. That is al
leged to be an unlawful re
straint of trade, prohibited by
the Sherman anti-trust law be
tween the States and in Federal
districts The penalty on con
viction is a year's imprisonment
or a .$5,000 fine or both.

ADVANCE CREW OF
CIRCUS HERE. '
BIG
Private Pullman Car Sparks'
Shows Here To-day With 20
Advertisers.
James Randolph and his crew
of 20 expert advertisers arrived
in Morganton to-day and the
work of advertising the appear
ance of the Sparks circus on
Thursday, September 24th, was
commenced. This crew travels
on its own private Pullman car
which is the largest and morBfe
modern advance car on
road. Both the city and the
surrounding country for miles
around will be gaily decorated
with circus posters and the
barns, walls, billboards and
store windows will present a
gaudy appearance.
Mr. Van O. Diver, the press
agent, visited The News-Herald
office and has many favorable
notices from the newspapers of
the cities of the South and East
where this attraction is well
known and ranked , among the
best. This season the show is
entirely new and greatly en
larged, the performance taking
place in three rings. The pol
icy of this attraction is, and has
always been, the tolerating of
no gambling or dishonesty, and
visitors to this exhibition are
assured of polite and courteous
attention.
Most every day from now un
til show day, will see some ad
vance agent of the circus in
Morganton looking after some
of the many advance prepara
tions, and next week there will
be another crew of advertisers
here who will complete the bill
ing, and rain or shine there will
no doubt be a large crowd in
Morganton to see the performances.
Mr. Henkle's Horse Killed By
Lightning.
Blowing Rock Cor. Salisbury Post
There was a very severe
thunder and lightning storm
here Wednesday afternoon, at
1 o'clock. Mr. Luke Nelson,
foieman of the improvement
work on the Green Park prop
erty, was driving a horse and
the storm caught him on the
turnpike between Green Park
and the Blowing Rock hotel.
The lightning struck a tree on
the lower side of the road, leap-
ed to the' telephone wires cross
ing the road at that point, and
Mr. Nelson being under the
wire at the time, it left the
wires and flashed on the horse,
knocked from the buggy. He
was not seriously hurt. When
he was able to arise he found
the horse dead. There was not
a scratch on the animalT It
was a fine horse, and had been
purchased by Mr. C. V. Henkle,
an hour before, from Mr.
Hughes, a summer resident

Has Helped the Administration.
Baltimore Sun. s
There is one thing for which
the country owes a vote of
thanks to Europe in connection
with this war, and that is that
it has strengthened the hands
of the present administration.
The canal tolls controversy, the
Mexican question, the working
of the new tariff law and is
sues of less importance had pro
duced some controversy in the
opportunity for the nagging
criticism and exhibitors of dis
content that always make them-
f selves felt in the second year of
an administration. We believe
the country would, have stood
by the President and the Dem
ocratic majority in Congress
under any circumstances, but
the war made assurance doubly
sure. There will be new vote
of confidence in Mr. Wilson this
fall; and we think the people of
the United States will be glad
to put themselves on record as
rejoicing that they have at the
head of their government not a
war lord, but a Peace President,
whose sane and conscientious
policy holds both to their self
interest and to their sense of
justice and right.
