BRITISH AND GERMANS
HAVE NAVAL BATTLE
?At'H HIDE ?IVE DIFFERENT
STATEMENT.
It I? Generally Conceded Here That
Got The Best of It?Prog,
ther Fields.
The German armies of the west haTe
suddenly taken the offensive deliver
ing violent attacks simultaneously at
several points. The German war offi
ce reports today claim an Important
victory over British troops along La
Bassoe canal. In France, Just south of
the Belgian border. Positions of the
British oxtendlng over about two
thirds of a mile. Including two strong
points of support, ere said to have
been taken by storm, and held in the
face of counter-attacks. The French
official statement, however, does not
concede this victory to the Germans.
It admits that they made progress
temporarily but asserts that subse
quently they were repulsed.
Both communications report for the
Germans near Craonne where trenches
of the allies wire taken and retained
In part Elsewhere, according to the
French version of the fighting the Ger
mans were repulsed wltn tne possible
?exception of Alsaco. It Is said that the
Germans bombarded Sentheim. This
town lies six miles southwest of
Thann, which may indicate that the
German kav? advanced In this region.
It Is said In Berlin that Russian
attacks In East Prussia were repulsed
and that no important events occurred
In Central Poland. The latter state
ment Is fn contrast with Petrograd re
ports of seven battles of Warsaw.
The Rnssian Foreign Minister Ser
glus Sasanoff announced that Russia
would continue the war so long as a
single soldier of her enemies remained
on Russian soil.
Three British warships were sunk in
the naval engagement In the North
Sea Sunday, Berlin now asserts. A
statement issued there today says that
"according to well informed German
sources," a British bottle cruiser was
sent to the bottom by a German tor
pedo boat and that a German torpedo
boat and that a German aviator wit
nessed the destruction of the vessel.
In addition td^Ebe loss of the cruiser,
as previously reported in Berlin, it Is
stated that two British torpedo boats
were sunk and that other warships
were damaged has added nothing to
Its original announcement that no
British vessels were lost or seriously
injured.
The German government's order for
the confiscation of all supplies of
wheat, com and flour Is regarded in
England as a significant indication of
the economic effects of the war upon
Germany. It is said officially In Berlin
however, that the action of the govern
?ment assuring'Conservation of food
stuffs will make certain a plentiful
supply until the next harvest.
Russia is pouring reinforcements
Into Bukowina, where she apparently
has met with a reverse at the hands
OT the"* Austrian forces. Vienna as
sumes that Rumania will now hesitate
to Join Russia in the war and that dan
ger of the Invasion of Transylvania is
over, at least for the Immediate future.
In Poland heavy fighting Is under way
once mbre, ind a degree of success for
the Germ an s< is admitted In Petrograd.
^Berlin says that the Teutonic allies
have occupied Kielce. In the wai^ with
Turkey also Russia U encountering
severe opposition. Although Petro
grad announced that the resistance of
the Turks (n the Trans-Caucasus had
been virtually broken, an official state
ment today says that the Turks are of
fering stubborn resistance, although
the Russian offensive is making pro
gress. ?
Berila, Jan. 26?(By Wireless to
London, 3:26 p. m )?The German
war office In Its statement given out
this afternoon says that two strong
points of support in the possession
<6f the English were captured by
German troops yesterday in a gen
eral assault on the English positions
near I-a Bassee. . .
The text of the official Oerman com
munication reads:
"In the western theatre the enemy,
tallowing bis custom, placed Mlddel

ber at the inhabitants were killed or
injured by this fire. Including the
Vurgomaster ofMUiTelterke.
"Our losses yesterday were MnaJl.
Our troops attacked the positions of
the English on both sides of La Bassee
eanal. While the attack to the
north of the csnal between Givenchy
and the canal did not lead to the cap
ture of any English positions on ac
count of a strong flanking movement,
an attack of the troops from Baden,
to tke south of the cans,] met with
octnptete success. In this region En
glish positions extending for ovetr

Fierce artillery duels took place on
the remainder of the front In Bast
Prussia.
"Less Important engagements to

"Nothing of Importance has hap

Vistula river or to the east of the
Plllca rlrer.
London, Jan. 25.?(8:04 p m.)?The
official Information bureau this even
ing Issued a statement as follows:
"The foreign office, replying offi
cially to the interviews with Dr. Von
Bethmann-Hollweg, the German Im
perial chancellor (published In Ameri
ca January 24' and 25), admits the ex
istence of the documents the Germans
have said they found in Brussels, but
Insist these were purely informal in
case the British needed to defend Bel
gian neutrality. The Belgian mar
ginal note upon the record explains
that the entry of the English Into Bel
glum would only take place after the
violation of our^neutrallty by Ger
many," .
Paris, Jan. 26.?2:60 p. m.?Greatly
Increased activity along the western
battle front was reported In the offi
cial French communication of today.
The initiative rested with the Germans
who In some sections delivered as
many as five successive attacks of
great violence. It Is said all these as
saults were met successfully, except in
the region of Craonne, where the Ger
mans succeeded In penetrating the
trenches of the allies and holding
some of the ground gained. Bombard
ment by the Germans of the Alsatian
town of Senthelm, six miles southwest
of Thann, Indicates they may have
made some progress In this region
also.

There (s considerable talk ? amgng
the Democrats of the Fifth District of
nominating Senator Chatham of Wins
ton-Salem for Congress two years
hence. Association of the Senate
Finance Committee, Senator Chatham
will doubtless make a great record and
add largely to his popularity in the
State. While ft Is certain that he lias
never given the matter one moment's
consideration, or could be Induced to
do so; nevertheless there are power
ful influences at work to bring about
?hls much to be desired consummation.
Senator Chatham's modesty may prove
to be a stumbling block in bringing
about Ms nomination, and It may be
that the only recourse the voters of
the Fifth District will have will be to.

the people will be justified In adopting
that plan, provided they cannot secure
his serrlces any other way.Of course,
It would entail quite a sacrifice, from
a business standpoint, on the part of
Senator Chatham, to m&ke this race,
but the writer believes his patriotism
and interest in the welfare of the State
and District will cause him to give
serious consideration to his duty
in this matter.* His nomina
tion for the Senate was brought
about largely by duress, but after
the die was cast, as we all
know, he did not loaf for one minute
on the Job, and Forsyth county was
carried by the Democrats by the lar
gest majority ever, known in its his
tory. A prominent Republican made
the remark the other day, that hence
forth, Forsyth county would always be
safely Democratic, and the Republi
cans would never be able to again
muster strength enough to elect their
ticket

Shall We Progress.
Mr. Editor.
In view of what Is going on around

morally, physlclally and politically.
Your humble servant was recently

we promise, "Deo volens," that we *111
do some thoroughly hard work for the
betterment and uplift of our people
from a hygienic, sanitary, and preven
tative standpoint if our good people
wlllNJiold up our hands.
We want to organize Auxiliary
Health Societies all over the County?
to attend thC3e societies In person?
ta'k with the members and instruct
them an all health questions. The
colored peop'e of the County are mani
festing great Interest In public health,
and we do not believe that the white
peop'e will allow themselves to be
passed on this road of good work.
Preventatlon Is the work for us to
perform, and do the most of It bofore

head off germ life before It gets a hold

I1-. He Dldnt Take the raper.
' -A farmer ft? this community once
had a horse he wanted to sell. It was
pt Valuable horse and should have
brought a good price. For months
he tried to afelf.the animal, but could
Itot find a buyer at his figure. He
tnally sold It lor nhout $15 less than
1U value, rather than carry It through
the ?(Inter. ? ;
Nov It happened that Jnst actp?^
just such a.horse, but was unable to
find it. Then he Inserted a little a*
in the home paper, which brought him
a number of offers, one of which he
reluctantly accepted.
The first farmer did not t&lp the
home paper, and of course did not see
the little .ad of the man who wanted
a horse, and who would hare purchas
ed his animal at a good price.
By not taking the paper he saved
the subscription price of $1, and like
wise lost $24 by not seeing the other
fellow's ad.
Such occurrences are happening
every week here in this community, in
which people actually lose good money
because they do not take their home
paper, and hence do not know of many
of the opportunities that are placed
before them.
The man who takes the paper and
I reads it carefully each week not Only
knows what is going on, but is in fact
money ahead at the end of the year
by knowing what, when and where
to buy.
"Penny wise and pound foolish" Is

Thoughts of An Idle Hour.
(By Major P. W. Barber.)
What's the matter with Uncle 8am?
In tlue days of our forefathers Uncle
was the embodiment of honor and
intergrity, of valor and fidelity.
To day he is a sick man.
Years ago he was a terror to evil
doers. . -\
To-day he has the palsy. {
There was a time when a thief was
a thief, and was punished in accor
dance with the laws of the land and
without regard to his social, financial
or political status.
To-day it depends upon his bank
roll, upon his social connections, upon
his ability to line up "influence" in his
behalf.
Once we sent our bralne3t men to
the legislatures, and to Congress.
To-day, with an occasional except
ions, we send politicans?just politi
cians.
Once there was a time when toehold
public office was considered an honor.
To-day the badge of office is more
often a reproach.
Away back in the dim past the office
sought the man.
But today?Oh, Lord!
When our fathers were children
men paid their taxes according to
their po^esBions.
To-dayVhe poor man pays and the
rich man often forgets.
Time was when the law was for all
peoples alike.
To-day it is as elastic as rubber, as
variable as the wind, and as unrelia
ble as an army mule.
But why enumerate?
Everybody knows that we prate of
our national and civic honor, and yet
our system is rotten to the core.
Everybody knows that as a people
we bold gold greater than God, and
vice itfjove virtue.
Of course there Is an occasional ex
ception, but they are as the teeth of
the hen compared with the myrald
sands of the desert.
Just what is the matter of Uncle
Sam. anyway?
Can you tell as?
Some people use 4heir brains In get
ting ahead In the- world. Others
merely use their 'mouths, and that Is
the reason death finds them stilt
whittling chunks from the sam^ bid
box.
A few use their brains for the ad
vancement of thoir own materiji In
terest and the elevation Of their fel
low men?and tljemselves.
Many use tbem In an overpowering
effort to strangle competition, to hog
everything In sight; to make of the
world a plaything for them and theirs.
But if all brains and mouths could
unite In an effort to safeguard honor,
to protect virtue, and civilize onr
vaunted civilization, what a world It
would be!
But 'tis only a dream?and' dreams
seldom come true.
