(By the Associated Press) Cor the second night in succession German airmen have raided the southeastern section of England and reached London. Tuesday night's visitation appar ently was staged earlier than the one on Monday but the Germans did not succeed in penetrating to the heart of the city, being stopped on the out nkirs by the offensive forces. A score of casualitles are reported to have Ijoen caused by the few bombs which 11:? Germans were able to drop. Lat ent reports on the raid of Monday r.'p.ht show fifteen ceaa and seventy I Injured . The German airplanes Tuesday night followed the same course as the I raiders of Monday night, attempting to approach London through Keuc and Essex and up the course of the Thames.Little property damage was done Monday night, British airmen and the anti-craft guns of London's defenses making it too hot for the Germans to stay long. The airship raid of Monda;* night on the Cork si re and Lincolnshire coasts , had little success. The Zeppelins did not p?i;etrate far inland and bombs drop ped at a coast town caused injuries to three women. The army of Crown Prince Rup rrech of Bavaria became active again Tuesday and made desperate attempts to retake' the ground gained by the BiUlsh last Thursday near the Ypres Menln road in Flanders. In the first assaults the Germans succeeded in enrering the Brisish lines at two points. Field Marshall Halg's men fought back valiantly and, in addition to withstanding further attacks by the Germans, straightened out their line. Ihe day's effort brought nothing to I the Germans but additional casual ties Great artillery activity is 1? pro. grcas in the sector east of Ypres. Northeast of Verdun the Infantry activity lias slackened. After their ineffectual efforts of Monday the Ger mans attacked the French near the I'ois Le Chaume early Tuesday. This attack although aided by liquid fire, was also repulsed. Berlin claims oi P.clally to havo taken trenches here on Monday and to havo held them - against counter-attacks. On the Alnse front the artillery battle continues. There has been no great activity on the other fronts. In the Trentlno in the region of Montenero the Aus. tio-Hungarians exploded a mine un der the Italian positions, but Hie Italian barrage Are prevented the en emy from making any gains. The Italians have repulsed further local attacks on the Bainslzza plateau, northeast of Gorizia. German efforts to recapture the new positions gained by the Russians southeast of Riga on tl'o Pskoff road have been checked by the Russians. Captain George Guynemer, the lead 1> ? French aviator, is believed by the . French war o nice to have been killed. Guynemer left Dunkirk for a flight on the German lines in Flanders two weeks ago and nothing has been heard of or from him since. Lieu tenant Vosse, a leading German air man has been killed in action with his fiftieth Adversary. By a vote of 63 U> 18 the Argentine Chnmber of Deputies haa declared In favor of breaking off diplomatic re Irtlotis with Germany. . The Argen tina Senate last week voted almost unanimously in favor of a break over! the revelations brought out by the - exposure of Von Luxburg, the Ger man Minister at Buenoe Aires by the American State Department. Great Britain and France have for raally notified the provisional Rus siun government that they would not conclude a separate peace to the de triment of Russia. These assurance^ were in reply to reports current in Russia that Germany was endeavor. l?t> to make peace at the expense of the new republic. \ In Reply The ladies of Louisburg who have been so deeply interested in the wel fare of our Soldier Boys, feel that In simple justice to themselves, and to the citizens of our town, who have always generously responded to any appeal made to them, that an answer should be given to the artiale which appeared in last week's Times under the title, "Do we appreciate our Boys V* ^ These ladies do not feel any snug satisfaction over the sufficiency of v/hat they have done, for the sacrl lice of leaving home and loved ones is too big a thing for any of ub to | think that it can be met with commen surate compensations, but ?with lov ,4ng hearts and willing hands they have ofTerod services to these Boys in such a way as to render their in terest and appreciation unquestiona. ble. In 1916, when Company D. was call ed out, the ladles of our town were| instrumental in raising among our citizens over $200.00. This amount was placed in bank, to be drawn on as needed. First, to the Armory were seDt 70 packages, each containing U wel, handkerchiefs, comb, soap,and two packages of tobacco. In addition to this, more than $47.00 was invest ed In underwear and hosiery. Testa ments were publicly presented to the Soldiers, and silk flags for their Com pany streets. On their leaving for Camp Glenn, a lunch was provided and arranged for them In individual packages, and the cost ~of this was ever J60.As they passed through Rnleigli, on their way to the Border, t] cy were served with fruit, for which more than $35.00 was spent. In December, a box was sent them containing 70 Christmas stockings, in each of which was a pound of candy, cne of raisins, one of nuts, and a pretty Christmas card, and in addi tion to this, a box containing tobacco for each soldier. Of cdurse the out lay for these different things exceed ed the original $200.00, but extra a mounts needed were easily raised. When they came home from Texas, $140.00 was contributed by the people of the town for a Barbecue In their honor. The whole of this amount not being expended for this purpose, same has been appropriated to their cr.mfort in other ways. This summer, in connection with the dinner of the Old Veterans, a din ner was given by our town and coun ty, to our two military companies. A brass band and speakers for the oc_ cor Ion were provided, and everything done that could bo done to mafce the day a success. During the time Co. D was in camp here, different citizens at different times sent contributions to their picnic syppers, also fruit and vegetables, and cigarettes were sent| to each soldier. In the few cases.of sickness which occurred, delicacies wore provided for the patients, and on the day they left, as an addition to their, regular luncheon, a desert of ] ice cream and cakes was served to the Compahy, a contribution of some of the gentlemen down the street. The ladles would have gladly visit ed the camp, but for having been told by some of the officers that the Boys, not being always on 'd'ress parade" rtid not solicit the presence of unex pected guests. On the mining of the day on which they left for Greenville a group of ladles and gentlemen gathered at the camp grounds, and Rev. N. H. D. Wilson, in behalf of the Red Cross Society, presented the Comfort Bags. His words were beau tiful, appropriate* and followed by a prayer fervent and Impressive, and if tears were any attestatfion of love and interest, then there were none *ho looked on this scene with indif ference. The Comfort Bags each contained 16 different articles, namely: wash cloth, aoap, tooth brush, tooth paste, comb, knife, needle case, needles, thread, buttons, tablet, pencil, enve lopes, postal cards and tobacco, and these were provided for the men who were absent that morning, and also for those who have since then re sponded to their Country's call. Our love and prayers will follow these dear Boys, wherever they may go, and all this has been written In order that those who did not know these facts may feel that the men and women of Loulsburg do have a deep and heart-felt interest in the young men who have gone out from our midst, that we do appreciate the sac rifice that they are making, and that we shall watch with real pride and confidence for success to mark their career. Ladles of Loulsburg Tar River Association. The next session of this association will be held with the Church at Gard forf aobut four miles north ofMacon In Warren county, October 10th and llth4 1917.

C., September 22nd, 1917 D^ar Asher: Ono? more shall try to ?ay a few words about the franklin county boys who arc with us. The reorganization of the tarious military units of the United States is quite pathetic. There las been left no company memories or traditions. They have been link-1 <>d at leisure and all companies will be filled with drafted men, until the maximum strength has been reached. Familiar names, such as Franklin Guard or Franklin Rifles have all been swept away r.s also have the regimental numbers such as F. Co. 3id N. C. which our company has borne since the Co. was organiz ed, and F. Co. 120th Inf. has been offi cially designated In its stead. Here after it will be impracticable to ad to the regiments old title. In ofle thing we have been lucky, we retain the formation of our roglment with all officers as they were under the old organization. The First N. C has been moved out hnd their camp ha? been divided between the 119th and 120th Inf. (the old 2nd and 3rd N. C.) We have move and have a better place, which is now on the hill, than formerly, which was in the bot tom. Some of the regiments includ ing the old First N. C. were transfer red from good quarters to "out in the thicket" where the natives told" them the owls often died of lonesomeneea and snakes and other kinds of "var mints" were common. There they are expected to clean up another camp. We will begin cleaning a parade ground next week in what is now woods. It will be interesting to watch them cleaning a woods. Dyna mite is placed under several trees and the fuses lighted, then the "trees ris6". Every one works here. Work begins at 5.15 A. M. and laststill 10 o'clock P. M. One has to retire as early as he can to keep from meeting himself getting up in the morning. War is on ,the grim reality 1b reflect ed in every action, and If you are harboring in your breast one thought, that we will not see service in France it would be well to get rid of it at once. The training is inten. cive all right. New lessonB are as signed before the old ones are mas tered, one class assembles immediate ly after tlfe other is dismissed and the students are all the same in all class es. Our former work on the border was mere child's play. We havo hand grenadlng, saping and moping up, close order and extended order drills and take about an hour each clay of physical training. I certain ly would like to see the first letter written home by the draft men wlien they come which will be about Oct 11. I'm sure they can or will write ; home some Interesting things. Our. mc.n are standing the strain fine, we I l ave no sickness except a few cases | of "Heart Trouble" andSergt.N. E. Beddingfield and Pvts. J. D. Morris and P. C. High seem to be the chief sufferers. Jake McLawhorn too suffers at times with his heart but he receiv i es "heart medicine" very often from seme of our Franklinton Misses. We have all been vaccinated again for smallpox and given the first dose of another typhoid treatment. The I Greenville people are making a stren buous effort to raise funds for a camp library and I am sure they will suc ceed. I am told that several large 1 places of amusement will be built in | camp in the near future. The train ing we are now getting should fit | us to whip anything if continued, in fact we will have an army of giants. I am Bure the whole country will see tlie great benefits to be gained by the work we are now undergoing and will benefit greatly in the future by it. Yours truly % E. M. Edwards. Box Party. I If you want to have a good time just come to Sandy Creek Academy, Thursday night, October 4th, 1917. j Lots of fun for all. There will be i boxes to be sold also. Everybody 1 come and bring your friepds wtttP i you. Proceeds will go for the bene \fc of Philatheaj class. Youngsville Items Prof. J. J.
