Another Engagement Near Ypres. That a severe engagement has Mr. F. N. Taylor, cliief of the Greensboro fire department, has just compiled and submitted to, the city commissioners a detailed report of the department for the year 1914 The total fire loss in Greensboro dur ing the year was $44,272.46 on prop erty valued at $352,174. This is considered a very good showing and reflects credit upon the efficiency of the fire department. Chief Taylor recommends that the department be equipped with motor drawn apparatus entirely, saying this would both add to the efficiency of the department and decrease operat ing expenses. A portion of the re port follows: "With the growth of the city the number of alarms has greatly in creased over the preceding years, this year having reached 105 alarms, The contests and track meet of the state high, schools of the east central division held in this city Fri day night and Saturday' attracted many visitors.

The medal for the best declama tion was awarded to Frank Up church, of the Cary high school. There were ten contestants for this honor, the Jamestown high school furnishing one in the person of New lin Hodgin. , The spelling content resolved itself into an unbreakable tie between Wade Hussey, of the Farmer high school, and Miss Blanche Farlow, of the .Trinity high school, both of Ran dolph county. Miss Vivian Hayworth, of the Jamestown high school, was declar ed the winner of the contest in composition. The track meet was held at the baseball park Saturday morning and the following events were pulled off: 100-yard dash, pole vault, high jump, 220-yard dash, 44-yard dash, shot put and broad jump.

The Germans claim they drove trie allies back to the Ypres canal, tak ing 1,600 British and Fxench pris oners and a number of guns. The French admit that the allies had to fall back, but declare this was due to the use by the Germans of asphyxiating gas bombs. Paris as serts that in counter-attacks the allies took many German prisoners and that the Belgians repulsed Ger man attacks. It is believed that these operations are only the begin ning of another battle of Ypres. Although a dispatch from Hol land gives a rumor that the Germans are about to fall back to the Liege line, to have troops ready for pos ble use against Italy, should Italy join the allies, it is considered more likely in military circles that the Germans will give battle where they are, preferring to be the first to at tack, having learned from recent ex periences that it is difficult to hold the strongest positions when an ex tremely heavy connonade is directed against them.
