tonte allied forces are giving the al
ready badly beaten Bulgarians, Ger
mans and Turks no rest, while in
1 ranee the British and French are con
tinuing to draw their net more closcly
about St. Quentin and the remaining
elements of the Hindenburg line in
this immediate region.
in Macedonia thesltuniioa of the
Bulgarians and Germans daily grows
mere critical as the allie;! forces stead
ily maintain their pre. ure against
them. In Turkey the lato.it operations
"of the Eritish and Arab tribesman
friendly io the allied cause seemingly
forecasi the. complete destruction or

against the demoralized Bulgarians an,,
Co:mans, w.ioso reinforcem:nts have
not been able to stiffen the line for a

portant strategic position of Prilep ! as
been occupied, thus giving control of
the numerous roads radiating from it
to the Frenclf^javalry; in tho center
the St-rbicns have pushed their wedge
further in between the en: mys eastern
and western armies while on the ex
treme eat tern flank the British and
Greeks have advanced along both sides
of the Vardar to a depth averaging
about ten mile? over a front of twenty
miles. Nowhere are the Entente com
and Germans to Io: c contact with the
advancing troops, who are harra^ing
them vigorously.

'penetrated or altered that TLTmediate
dire calamity seemingly face-s the ene
my unl?i'i? tl'.c f'.emy is fleet enough
of foot to outdistance the allies on the
wings of the drive and reconstitute
his front to the north, with its center
re^Jng po3sibly on Uskub or there
abouts. Even if such a maneuver is
por^iblc, doubllec^it will be necessary
for t,;e enemy to straighten his line
westward through Albania to the Ad
riatic Sea.
That tho allied flanks are moving
swiftly to pre vent the separated ar
mies frcm joining up is indented in
the capture of Prelep and advancing
of tho British to the north of Lake
Doiran. The maneuvers point"to an
attempt at ro41ing-up movements of
great proportions y the allies.
In Palest Ire.
In Palestine the British on the coast
have taken the important towns of
Haifa and Aero, while ea^t of the Jor
dan the Turks are everywhere in re
treat. hard pressed by the British and
the Triesmen of the. King of the Hed
Jas. Inside the big sack the neck of
which was sewn up by the British In
their initial drive, many more prison
ers have been taken and the aggregate
now greatly exceed^ the 25,000 offi- j
cially reported.
On Western Front
To the west of St. Qucntln over a
front- of four miles, running south
from tho Omignon river the British
have materially advanced their front,
notwithstanding the desperate resist
ance of the enemy and take about 800
prisoners. Hard fighting is in pro
gress at Sclency, a scant two miles
from the western outskirts of St. Qucn
tin. Around fepehy and further north
In the Camhral .sector the British po
sitions in front of the Hlndenburg lice
.^have been bettered. In Flanders the
British have recaptured a portion of
their old trench system south of Ypres.
Fear Another American Attack.
That the Germans, even thqugh the
weather conditions preclude infantry
activity are fearful that the American
anticipate a further attack Is Indicat
ed by their almost continuous bom

the intensity of li.cir heavy gun lire on

With shrapnel from the elevated for- I
ward gun of the submarine bursting
aroilnd his seaplane, Ensign Carson'

machine gun fire into the crew, felling1
two of them and driving the others in
side. The submarine submerged and i
as she was diving two bombs were I
dropped on her.
Within a fe\v minutes the bow- of
the Cboat appeared on the surface and !
remained visible about four minutes.
.More bombs were dropped in this in-1
terval and it is believed the undersea
craft was either badly damaged or'
destroyed.

and both sexes, is urgently needed.
In addition, piece goods?light, warm,
canton flannel aim other kinds of cloth
from which to make gaVments for
new-born babies, ticking, sheeting
and blankets*, woolen goods of any
kind, and shoes of every size are asked
for. Scrap leather is needed for re
pairing footwear.
Since the clothes will be subjected
to the hardest kind of wear, only gar

materials should be sent. It is useless
to offer to toy afflicted population gar
merits of flimsy material oV gaudy

The .Methodist Revival.
j Rev. A. L. Stanford of Wadesboro,

and 8:.;0 o lock tit nighty Those who
have iittenced meetings'held by Mr.
Stanford speak especially of three
elements which will, we believe, make
iliim most ??cc?i)iahic lo
jour town]
I First, he is an unurtially eloquent
I speaker. Second, he uses no methods
to work up feeling except those that
are manifestly proper.. Third, he deals
I fairly with the unconverted man. He
I t.akejj no advantage of you. While
he urges with all argument and en
treaty. be respects your right of choice
and your sacred individuality.
The iollov. ing extract, from a letter
irom nr. W. H. Nicholson, once a cit
izen of Louisburg. and still beloved
here, to Mr. L. P. Hicks, will be read
with ?interest:
I am informed that Rev. A. L. Stan
ford will conduct a meeting for you
next week. You are certainly v<*ry
fortunate as iit is in my opinion one
of the finest evangelista in this State.
He was oiir pastor for four years and
did more for this church t ha any
pastor I ever knew. He is a fine man,
a magnetic speaker and tireless work
er. I predict that all Louisburg will
be wild over him in a few days. He
is not sensational but deeply in earnest
and a man of great faith. I. congrat
ulate you. the church and Louisburg
and trust that he will have at the
start the heartiest cooperation of all
anil that God may greatly bless you
all through his efforts."
