TUESDAY, NOV. 27, 1917 THE ASHEVILLE TBIES. PAGE THREE, Why Is THE BEST POLICY ? ii Bankers Trust & Title Insurance Co. Within Sound of Battle After Eight-Day March Italian Army Headquarters In .Northern - Italy, Nov. 25. (Delayed) (By the Associated Tress) Solid ranks of Franco-ISrltish Infantry with artillery and supply train were seen by tho correspondent today within Bound of the battle on tho Italian northern line. They had been on an eight day march. Tho French reinforcements were first seen in force. They were splen did looking young men. One of their officers with whom the , correspon dent talked said they had Just ar rived after a hard forced march with others following. Soon the others came in view and for two miles the party passed through endless lines of French. There were nquadrons of cavalry In tho road and in the . nearby fields and lone lines of new artillery trains and supplies. Field kitchens had-been set up at one point and a midday meal was being served. The men looked In the best of condition and did not showa trace of fatigue. Just beyond here the color turned from blue to khaki as long lines of the British came into sight. In the lend were cyclists and then came en gineer trains. Following were long ranks of infantry, cavalry and artil lery. At one point headquarters had been temporarily established and trr.ards were at the gate as the officers went and came. Farther on a British general and his staff, all finely mounted, were cantering forward. The artillery horses were especially marked for their sleek, well-fed condition and the observers noted how all the brass work of the guns and equipment glinted with the thorough care it had had. One engineer corps was rumbling to the rear with huge pontoons or cami ons, as It had been found theso were not needed, but all the rest of the force was moving forward. " ; "As Hard As Nulls." The men looked hard as nails. Both officers and men were eager to hear how the fight was going and were anxious to get forward. Talks with these men gave an idea of What they hud been doing. They had been marching steadily for sev eral days. The start was made every 'Jay at 3 o'clock In (be mornlnc with (in early breakfast and with rations subsequently served at II o clock in .v. v raws y ....... . . . - Mill :w r a ' : :: ifi t t WWfM :.-.V ""HkV Si- y 4k X v.i I i ;m51 In Cndin FWd Ambulnce.

Along the route their head quarters were in village schools, houses, barns and public buildings. Tho men carried loads of itbout 70 pounds. Including rifles, blankets, kits and the day s rations. This looked like a heavy load, but the men did not mind it. although they said the long marches had been hard on the teet. The regimental bands were in line and Italy may hear music again if things go right. All the Italian bands have disappeared in the fierce carnage of recent days and the bands men are charging with bayonets. The whole appearance of the Brit ish and French gave a feeling of great power because of the perfect organi zation and ardor of all ranks, ac centuated by the timeliness with which they are arriving in the vicinity of the battle front.

SPECIAL SftLE OF CATTLE Many Breeders Will Attend Wilson Meeting In January R, S. Curtis, animal husbandman of tho Agricultural Experiment sta tion at West Ilaleigh, in a letter to the board of trade this morning, ad vises that a special sale of a few hun dred breeding animals will be held at the North Carolina Live Stock asso ciation meeting in Wilson, January 1-4.- - The list below shows that a number of these animals will be placed on sale by cattle breeders of Buncombe and Haywood counties. The beef cattle listed have all been bred by leading stockmen In North Carolina. This is the first sale of pure bred beef cattle held in which the consignments consisted of state-bred animals. It is of unusual Importance, the department feels, to give support to the public spirited breeders who are endeavoring to develop a pure bred business for North Carolina. Following Is the list of men and con signments of all which are endorsed by the North Carolina Beef Breeders and Feeders' association: T. L. Gwyn, Springdale, one short horn bull: A, J. McCracken.

Miller, Salisbury, two Hereford bulls; E. H. Harrison, Salisbury, two Aber deen Angus; A. L. French, Fitzgerald, two Aberdeen Angus heifers: Ii. F. Shelton, Speed, four Herefords, two bulls, two heifers; J. E. Latham, Greensboro, one Hereford: W. W. Car penter, Asheville, two short horn bills. There will probably be a few other consignments. The above list reflects the character of the men who are breeding beef cattle and endeavoring to build up the pure bred Industry and supply farmers with good, high bred bulls.
