ENTENTE DECIDED TO MAKE A
STAND AND THEY HADE IT
Anglo French Forces Withstand Tremendous As
"sault by Enemy on Positions at Ypres.
175,000 MEN FLUNG UPON 10-MILB
FBONT.
Attatkera Suffered Heaviest Cuul
ties of any Single Dajr Since Drlre
Began?Too Weak To Cobtlnne.
Today's reports from the battle
front only serve to emphasize the
completeness of the victory won by
the Anglo-French forces yesterday In
withstanding the tremendous assault
by which the Germans hoped to break
Into the Allied hill positions south
?east of Tpree and begin cutting their
way on toward the Channel ports.
Th* situation .seems to have been
?-one of the Entente high command
deciding once tnore to make a stand
after having forced.the Germans to
use up tens of thousands of men in
fighting their way desperately for
ward as far as ihey have. The de
cision made, the stand was taken and
the Germans were stopped as they
have been on other fields since the
great offensive began March 21.
The enemy/ It Is estimated, threw
as many as thirteen divisions, or
about 175,000 men, Into the attack
on this twelve-mile front, but despite
continued furious assaults, was held
almost in his tracks everywhere. At
a few points there was slight enemy
peuetration but the lines were rectified
r'tor. During last night the French,
iv dashing couater-attacks, drove the
Cc mans from Locre, and re-establish
ed t'j< mselves there.
A most welcome feature of the
currant news from the front Is the
announcement that the French on
the crucial part of the line at Locre
have not lost any part of their hold
on Locre. They now have undisput
ed possession of the place for the
first Lme in several days, and have
killed ofl the enemy efforts to gain a
fcotiug there.
The importance of Locre lies In the
fact that it guards the approach to
Moht Kouge, one of the most valuable
hills of the defense flank, which can
not be taken as long as Locre remains
in Allied handB. Similarly the Allies
have stopped the thrtist. toward Scho
ertcnburg by holdtrg Lacrete, while
the Belgians dealt with them suc
cessfully and prevented any breach
In the line toward the sea.
All the evidence points to the pro
bability that the Germans suffered
well nigh the heaviest casualties of
any day on the Northern front aswave
after wave of the attacking forces was
mowed down by artillery and infantry
fire. They were so exhausted by
tliulr fruitless effuils tu advance that
they remained virtually inactive
throughout the night, and there were
no advices today-to~Indicate that they"
had resumed their offensive this mor
ning.
South of the Somme front the Brit
ish carried out a local operation last
night further improving their position
before Amiens. ~
Declaring that rumors of a change
of government in Russia "do not
sound altogether improbable," the Ber
lin Foreign Office has asked the Ger
mans at Moscow to report on disor
ders in Petrograd in connection with
the eported restoration of the mon
archical government. Further re
ports on conditions are lacking.
Service Flag Presented at Maplevllle.
At Maple Springs church Sunday
morning April 28th, Service Flag pro
sensation speech was tnade by Princi
*Cthe boys who have gone from the
church and are now in the military |
service of their country. The Pre
sentation speech was made py Princi- i
pal E. B. Cox and was accepted oh
behalf of the church by Pastor G. M.
Duke. The remarks of both were
very appropriate to the occasion.
Following Is Mr. Cox's tribute tg.,
nnr qftjrilftr boys: ?
It Is fitting that our church should 1
give public recognition to those of her
of duty and 'are now in the service
of their country, other churches have
service flags hanging on their walls,
Maple Springs church, today, does
honor to those of her boys, who in
the crucial moment have heard a Na
tions call and have nobly responded.
Xqt those of her boys who have an
swered the call, stand ready, if need
be, to make the supreme sacrifice.
They are fighting for the Liberties of
Our Country, for the civilization of the
world, for the Religion of Jesns
Christ, and for the maintenance of law
and order among the great family of
nations. They are fighting to make
the world a safe place in which to
live. No Crusader ever fought In a
holier, worthier cause than they. In
spired by the loftiest instincts of pa'
triotlsm they have waved all consid
erations for themselves and their lov
ed ones, and are now ready to do their
share "Overthere"--to laugh at death
and to advance across "No Man's
Land',' porhaps to the Great Beyond;
descendents of noble blood?soldiers
of a new faith. Butof an ancient tra
dition. Mr friend, you might possess
all the glittering wealth of the Klon
dlkes, and of the Peru* and give It all
to be used for the good of yourcoun
t ry In the present emergency, and go
to Washington and work for Uncle
Sam for one dollar per year and board
and clothes and your sacrifice would
be lnfinteelmal in comparison with the
sacrifice these boys and those near and
dear to them, ara making. And the
members of Maple Springs should feel
proud of these boys, honor them and
do everything In their power to make
them realize that they appreciate the
noble thing these boys are doing. I
was reading last week a letter from
one of these boys, and In that letter,
after stating how hard he was work
ing, he said: "A soldiers life gets
monotonous at times, but I am not
kicking on fate; If I were out of the
service today, I would enlist just as
| soon as possible for I realise that I am
doing my duty to the old U. S. A. by be
lng right where I. am." These words
came from Hal Perry, noble words fr
noble boy?no more genial, generous
hearted, lovable boy lives In Franklin
county and if that spirit expressed by
blm in those words, be the spirit of
all the boys in the service, then we
need have no fear for the safety of the
Republic. German autocracy will be
swept from the face of the earth, and
the civilization of the world will be
saved from the wreck of universal war
and out of It all Christianity arising
triumphant, will have a newer and
deeper meaning for the peoples of the
world. And now, as this flag is pre
sented to this church and as it hangs
from Sunday to Sunday on these walls
may It have a meaning lor us, may It
serve to remind us of the nobility of
the sacrifice these boys are making.
May it serve to remind us of the prin
ciples at stake for which they are
fighting and on which the foundations
of this church. Itself; rest?Christian
ity and Freedom. And finally may it
serve to remind those left at home,
that there Is a duty also for them to
perform: To stand behind these boys
and to omit the doing of no act and
to leave unsaid no word that will has
ten the victory for America.
Truth forever on the scaffold,
Wrong forever on the Throne,
And yet that scaffold sways the fu
ture;
And behind the dim unknown
Standeth God within the shadow
Keeping watch above his own.
Mr. Duke accepted the flag In behalf
of the church in his usual happy man
ner. Among; other things he said:
Keep- the line straight between the
Old Home Church and our Soldiers,
it we would have our boys (s&ved afid
have them come back to us not moral
wrecks the_old church and the Relig
ion of Jesus Christ will have to do It

COUNTY-WIDE SCHOOL TAX j
Expressions by our CIUmds on
This All Important Question.
Mapleville, N. O.,
April 29th, IMS.
ML JMItnr. *
NI have read with care and inb
what has been said (or and
county-wide school tax and I wohld
not have a word to say were It not'tor
the deep interest that I teel In the fu
ture well being of the. county, state
and nation. The tjoys and girls of to
day must make the leaders in church
and state when we who are now doing
this work are gone. What that state
and church and community will be
will depend upon the preparation of
the boys and girls of today receive.
To have the best and reach the true
ideals of Democracy there must he as
far as possible sound bodies trained
minds and a spiritual conscience.
Owing to the great upheavals Treated
by the War the many new Issues "and
problems that confront u8, the htgh
price of living, it spems as if we must
have more money to ran the schools.
Whether the present plan of couitty
wide tax is the best plan I leave for
those who know better than I to uy,
many of them have said that It la fnd
I agree with them and shall support
It. I have just this advice to give if
it may be accepted, to the parents of
my adopted county and home', for I
| love every one of you. You hure been
kind and good tome since I ha^e beea
in the county, to pause and think and
pray a long time before you decide to
vote against this measure, I think I
can see how you may oppose it but I
beseech you before you finally decide
to hear It explained by those who fa
vor it and those who oppose it and
then before God remembering the Fu
tuffe~well being of your children, tjl'e
Future well being of your county fend
your own responsibility and then nst
your vote as you conscientiously be
lieve to be the best.
<j, O. M. DUKE ,
Editor Franklin Times
May I trespass upon your valuable
space to the extent of expressing in
a brief manner my views in favor of
the proposed additional tax for the
betterment of the County schools?
This is a matter that should not be dis
missed or settled without due consid
eration like the purchasing of a'jford
car or whether to go to town on Sat
urday; as it'B effect will certain!^
show in the general tone and class of
our citizenship from the day of the
election to the en<J of time. Because
a man in one Township near a Town
with Graded School has raised his
children and had that school's advan
tages is no reason why the same
schooling should be denied another
Township further away and with few
er advantages. It's all plain Franklin
County, North Carolina, and should be
treated as a whole and not parcelled
out according to the general idea's.
: or like of ideas, of one particular
community as the Bolshevik} is trying
in ailPA up WiiRqfa. Kvprv one knows
that the child is not responsible for
the spot on the earth where it hap* i
pens be-bern and reared and there-!
t fore should not be compelled to suf-1
fer In comparison with some other
child living in a more favored locali
ty; if the child in town is entitled to
nine months out of each year in scliooL
?and all admit that it is?then?the
child in the. country should certainly
be accorded the same privilege. As
to the. failure of each parent to send
his or her children to school each day
in the school term that is a matter to
be left to the discretion of such -parent
but the school should be there with
open door and the teacher waiting
with knowledge to impart to the child
a full nine months term throughout
the entire county.
I The very fact that North Carolina
ranks next to the bottom in tfcu ex
pense per capita per child of school
age is evidence enough that we are not
giving the "kiddles" a square deal. You
can't get around bare facts and these
will show that a sparsely settled Ftate
like Wyoming is paying the sum of
$20.00 per capita per child while the
good old North State is paving but
FOUR!
_?Like the-boy hi Jtnnes'WhTtcomb Ri
ley's "The Raggedy Man" some of our
youngsters would no doubt, in their
innocent lack of knowledge of the im
portance of an education, prefer to
stay from school and "water the horse
be permitted but Instead provide the
longer school term and enforce the
compulsory attendance law, and at
the same time pay our teachers a liv
ing wago. I believe all will now ad
mit that this is the poorest paid class
of people on the face of the earth
when one takes in conslderction the
preparation that is necessary to fit
one for such a calling.
As I view yie matter we have a Su
perintendent who is well fitted for the i
position he holds, surrounded by cap- |
able teachers in each school and we,
should by all means show the world
by our votes In this election that we
are a progressive people and will re
fuse to take a backward step In so im
portant an undertaking.

Red Dog Regulations.
Since putting the notice In the Tim
es a short time ago regarding the sale
of Red Dog I have had considerable
complaint regarding the prices being
charged for it, and some confusion has
resulted from a misunderstanding of
the notices.
When a merchant had bought mill
feed or fted Dog before tfce-reductlon
in price was made he will be allowed
to dispose of the supply he has on
hand at a reasonable profit, not to ex
ceed $4.00 per ton, when he hr^ghfr in
I lots uf one ton or more, of $5.00 in
lots of less than one ton.
I Under this ruling Red Dog should
'not Bell above $3.75 per hundred, ex
cept in a very few instances.
If any one is charged more than the
above for Red Dog and will report the
sale to me It will be investigated.
Under a recent ruling of the Food
Administration a miller is forbidden
to grind more than a thirty day sup
py of flour for any farmer who brings
his wheat to the mill, unless the far
mer has permission from the Food
Administrator to have more than a
thirty days supply ground.
The Food Administration has ruled
that the manufacture of corn meal,
molasses, sugar, etc., Into intoxicating
liquors Is a wilful waste of food and
as such is punishable under the .Food
Control Act. ^
Merchants or millers who sell the
above articles of food In such quan
tities or to snrh persons as will make
it appear reasonably certain'that they
will be used In the manufacture of
intoxicating liquor?-wilK be?judged
equally as guilty as the blockaders and
will be dealt with harshly by the Food
Administration.
I have information that four or Ave
merchants and One or two millers are
supplying blorkaders with corn meal
In considerable quantities, these mer
chants and millers are hereby warned
that they will be Investigated and when
sulflcicnt evidence has been obtained
by^he Secret Service they will be se
verely dealt with.

Leaves Clothes on Mill Dam at Whlt

Left for Camp Tuesday.
Cleveland Perry, colored, 28 years
old, and called to report In Louisburg
on Monday afternoon in answer to a
call to the colors, apparently In com*
pllance with statements made previ
ously tfiat "he would rather die than
go to war," attempted to leave the Im
pression that he committed suicide by
drowning himself In Whltakers mill
pond early Monday morning, not real
izing that a search would be made
which would reveal the true state of
affairs. Upon finding his clothes up
on the dam a search waa begun and
Coroner Johnson, of Loulsburg, sent
|for. When the Coroner arrived on?
the scene, they had begun to drain the
pond. Upon investigation it was
found that the boy left homej tjiat mor
ning early, carrying with him a pis
tol. Later his overall pants and jac
ket, shoes and hat were found on the
mill dam. After drawing off and
seining the pond no trace was found
of Cleveland.
The matter was reported to Mr.*W.
H. Ruffln, Chairman of the local
Board .who stated that the^a. was a
reward of $50 for hio delivery p.t
any Army poBt by any officer or cit
izen.
The public around the community
in which the ruse was attempted do
not believe that the boy committed
any rash act, but that he was shirking
his duty as a registrant.
? Notes From Ingleslde.
This Is the season to plan and plant

plant everything you can to can and
can everything you plant to can. And
when the time comes ranr ewfv
body^trrer can can and will can "can
can can after can with an abundance
of good things at hand to can?can he
not? Thousands of dollars were sav
ed last year by canning products that
otherwise would have gone to waste.
There are thousands of fine young
men throughout the country still at
"the bottom" through no particular
fault or choice of their own, who are
Anxiously awaiting an opportunity to
I go "over the top".
| Mr. R. G. Pinnell, who has been
{quite ill at his home near Ingleside,
the past week, is resting better today,
and it is believed that his condition Is
more favorable. ?
