Elsewhere. Paris, Oct 28-.?The" issue of the battle in Belgium was ap parently still far from determination today. That the Ger mans had made up thejr minds to reach a decision in this, part of the theatre of war as indicated by the report that their gener al staff has issued a further call for troops from Belgium and Germany for concentration in the vicinity ,of Dixmude, where some of the most severe'fighting in the battle of Flanders has occurred. f'-, > i The gun of the aJHes in tife region to the South of Dix mude as officially announced showed that they are able, de spite of the German infantry, to take the offensive against the German conti gents which previously had succeeded] in crossing the Yser. This news was received with much satisfaction by the poblie here as was also the announce ment by the French around Nancy. , - As to the action in this vicinity the French reealled a reeent remark by General Castelnan when in putting 4he public on its guard against possible bad news, he said: " We will perhaps receive a blow in the stomach, but we are sure to return it:" More to the west in the progress of the allies to ward the route from St. Mihiel to Metz it, is predicted, going soon to put in a difficult position the German forces which have tried, in crossing the Muese, to work a junction with their forces fighting in .Argonne. Contest in the North. Furthermore, the advance of the French and English between Ypres and Boulers also gave ground for hope here: A8 to when the contest in the north wotild be finished, there is no guess. French military men said, however, that the prolongation of the battle gave no reason for losing patience. . ^ Discussing the possibility of an attack on Verdun, General Pierre Cherfils today declared that its defense was unlimited since it was solidly attached to the allies' armyaf^ArgonnG.

The Gertnan forces..wd? commanded?.by the Bavarian Crown Prince "who, it is reported, has been w6HBdfedr^~~ " ' "The British forces captdred Langemarck, five miles north east of Ypres on Friday after inflicted enormous loses on the enemy and established entrenched positions beyond the village. "At night after the roar of the cannon had ceased there was suddenly a shrill whistle and bushes soaked in petroleum broke into names. Masses of men sprang up from the beet crops within a few hundred yards of our trenches and with bugle sound yell and song they came dashing forward into our position. V , ? In the Trenches. "Though taken by" surprise our brave men were not un prepared- They too)c their places iij the trenches and held them, pouring a terrtSc fire iwfco the advancing hosts. "Answering with 'title- and machine gun, the enemy ad vanced, still with tlfe buglejjlaying-and amid shouts of 'hoch! hochJ' They were ih dense masses-and they fell by the hun dreds. They got within thirty yards of the trenehes when they recoiled. "Then came three blasts of a whistle, sounding the retreat. Our men sprang out of the trendies-' and in among them terrible and there were many to hand ehcounters. Pleading For Mercy. "In the dim glare of the burning bushes some of the enemy threw down their arms and plead for mercy. No quarter, how ever, was given on either side. The work was to desperate for that. Bayonet and bullet did their work and the enemy wqs^ driven back on Boulers. " "A battery and several machine .guns were captured and thousands or prisoners were taken, including a general and 'several other officers." ? ' Fifty Dead in Big1 Mine Disaster. ?

UMMiH Tribute to Memory of Be*. George W. i THREE BABIES tttOWU? .BW*lT;cT r loppedge. a In the death of Rev. Geo. Washing ton Coppedge Friday night, October 9th, 1914, at the home of his friends, Mr. and Mrs. L* C. Lamb, neaf Spring Hope, a life of remarkable usefulness and powafful Influence has bean re moved from oar midst Seventy years ago, In Nash county Mr. Coppedge first saw the light. Ii 1865, be was born again of the splri and united with the Peachtree Baptls chuTch. He was licensed to preach In 1879, and ordained to the foil work of the Gospel ministry In 1880. HI? early education was sadly neg lected. Not until middle life, when he jfelt called of God to enter the minis try. did he learn to read, and then only that he might read the word of God. The story of his early struggles with his handicap, Inability to read the Bible, and his triumph over it. Is Tnost pathetic and Is enough to hear ten and Qncourage any one who has difficulties to overcome, however In surmountable* they may seem. / Though an unlettered, man himself, he believed In education with All bis soul. So, as children cama/fnto his home, he moved his famU^to Wake field, where there was^good school. At this time, the Lurfd had laid His hands on him apd called him to preach His e^eflastlng Gospel, Ignor ant as hj lm. So he hlmBelf enter ed schpm with his children, and leaped with them the alphabet But >heir mlnd8 were young and alert and they soon outdistanced their father In the acquisition of knowledge This fact, together wfth the slowness with which he was forced to plod in learning to read the word of God, were a source _af great grief to him. There is an old Bible In possession of the family now, whlcfl was used by Bro. Coppedge during ftls period of his life, which is marked through and through with tear stains wrung from the heart ofa man who was eager to learn the will of God, but whose mind was bound by fetters of ignorance and could not But by and hy, through prodigious and persistent effort, and with a life wholly consecrated to the service of God, he won the victory, and the rich truUag^jQl.hia after life will compare favorably with that of "men who en Joyed far better advantages than he. The following are some of the ele ments that made his life strong and beautiful and useful: 1. His abiding faith in God. Ther* was never a day so daxlc'tfiat he did not believe that his heavenly Father loved him and would guide and tako care of him. And' this Is the quality that won for him. many vlctorie, when otherwise he would have failed mis erably. .. n.-*:' 2. He lyas a man of prater, . de pending solely upon God .for success la. his efforts. Often times, wblle engaged In protracted meetings, ' he Would go alone with God and spend much time In agonizing prayer until the blessing and the victory came. 3. Coupled with the foregoing ele ments was his deep humility. ' To hear him talk to his' God was to real Ifce that you were on holy ground, in His very presence, and that you, like him who was talking, were altogether unworthy to come before Him. 4. He was a man of strong con victions. When once convinced that a certain course was right, it mat tered not who or how many opposed him, he maintained his position with calmness and determination. 6. Whatever he undertook he threw his whole eoul Into it, and with great earaeatneas he prosecuted It until It was finished. He was . primarily a church builder. He rtirflly buifT on other men's foundations. It was his mission to go out lhto destitute and unpromising fields, where the ordin ary man would have tailed, and to boild up self supporting churches. -He seemed to rather court difficult fields. His struggles In the early part of his ministry fitted him to a preeminent degree for this kind of work, t ;> Perhaps no M^~erer accused the subject of tlita sketch of being a learned preacher, -or a mighty, elo quent orator, and yet he knew Uy> simple plan of salvation and could present It with as much clearness afrd force m th^tanbst scholarly man- i ' Ha made f#A1?tie* ase of the I he had tha? many a man " talentaj?'

Of the three babies scoring CJ erfect, Joseph Samuel Womble, of < arthage, age 24 months, was voted' y the Judges as the best baby?the State Champion Better baby for Mli. To him was awarded the gold metal offered by the woman's Home Com panion.

Score W As gratlflng as the contest as a whole proved to be the promoters they regard as of special value the follow ing points in evidence. A keener and more assured Interest on,the part of the. parents, a deeper appreciation ot the meaning of the Better Baby move ment, and th higher score of the average baby. As an example of this the prise-winning baby of this year scored only 96 last year, but the mother through the contests last year learned the standard for a "perfect baby and returned home to glve^her baby the benefit of her knowledge. Another mother whose baby last year won a prize entered another prize winning baby this year. "Let the spirit of the Better baby movement reach every mother in the State. 7. President Elliot's famous library consisting of books on only one shelf five feet long, had no charms for him for he was a man of only one book, and that book was the Bible. He was remarkably well acquainted with It* contents, for one of his opportunities, and he stuck to it In his preaching and in hla living. How well th? people loved him was attest on the day of his funeral, Sunday afternoon, at New , Bethel Baptist church, when multiplied hun dreds from various sections where he had wrought were present to pay at tribute of respect to Us memory. His life long friends and fattier- 1q the-Gospel, Rev. George M. Duke, who had meant more to his life than any other man, preached the funeral ser mon from the appropriate and signi ficant text, "For he was a good man. and full of the Holy Ghost. and of faith; and much people was .added ! unto the Lord "Acts 11:24. The text | fitted the occasion admirably, and Mr. Duke bestowed a worthy and beauti ful tribute to the memory of his dis eased son-ln-the-Gospel. Rev. ge W. Mhy, nephew of the deceased. also took part In the funeral service, after which the Masonic Ord6r, of which he was an honored member, tenderly laid his remains to rest In the near-by cemetery. Though living at Epsom, Mr. Cop podge held his church membership with the Ephesus church, which, waa the first church he ever organized many years ago, and at which the Tar River Association had just closed Us 84th annual session when he was stricken dojvn with paralysis on Wed nesday. dying two days, later. The deceased had often ei the desire to die In harness, which wish was literally fulfilled.
