Little except the gaining of this town and of the wood had had a place in the strategy of the British commander-in-chief since his dash last week placed his forces west and southwest of Cambrai virtually upon the threshold of the town. Ever since the initial attack the Germans had -tenaciously disputed every inch of ground, realizing that with the fall of Bourlon and the wooded heights their tenure of Cambrai would be seriously menaced. Several times pre viously the British had gained foot holds in both the town and the wood, but each time under vicious counter attacks were compelled to relinquish them. The northeasterly portion of the wood apparently now is the sole re maining part of it that is still in Ger man hands and, being only about 3 1-2 miles distant from Cambrai, the Ger mans are doing theiiv utmost to hold it, and even to drive back the British who have gained a footing there. Since the beginning of the battle of Cambrai. the British war office re ports have been extremely meagre of details of the fight and the last com munication gives no hint of the pro posed intentions of General Byng af ter the conquest of Bourlon and Bour lon wood has been made secure. Ap parently, however, with these strate gic points safely in his hands it is not unreasonable to surmise that, hav in2 had several days in which to draw up his guns and realign his forces,' Uyng will almost immediately strike again in an endeavor to capture Cam "brai. - The army of the German Crown Prince has not given up its efforts to overcome the success of the French last week northwest of Rhemis, where the gradual incursions into the Ger man line are threatening Laon. Here the Germans again have made two violent attacks, but their efforts brought them, as has been the rule Tecently, nothing more than repulse and the additional 'loss of numerous men. Similarly in the region of Ver dun the Germans have been worsted in attacks against General Petains front. In the Italian theatre, the troops of General Diaz are more than holding their own against the savage attacks of the Austro-Germans from the re gion of Lake Garda eastward to the upper reaches of the Piave river. Af ter test week's severe repulses with heavy casualties the invaders have switched their main offensive to the Asiago plateau sector, but here also they have been held by the Italians witnout the gain of a yard of ground. Attack; has been met with counter attack and in addition to inflicting heavy losses the Italians also have captured two machine gun batteries. The fighting along the Piave river from the hilly region to the Adriatic has been sporadic, but the one place where the enemy attempted to cross the river on pontoons he was wiped out by the fire of the defending ar tillery. For the first time in several jweeks there has been activity on the north ern Russian front and notwithstand ing the uncertain political conditions in Petrograd and other parts of the country, the Russians are holding their positions against the Germans. Near Jacobstadt the German artillery opened a strong artillery action against the Russians who replied in turn. To the south and also on the .Rumanian front there has been a re vival of activity, both from the trenches and in thenkture of scout ing reconnaissances. ; ' American Steamer Sunk in Mediter ranean. The American steamer Schuylkill has been torpedoed and sunk in the Mediterranean. The Navy Depart ment was advised Saturday that 40 men of her crew had been landed at a Mediterranean port. There was no naval armed guard aboard. Whether- there was loss of life was not known at Washington, but ic vas assumed that the 40 men rescued com prised the Schuylkill's full complement. later,, but the secretary would neither confirm nor deny them, saying he had ! issued the statement in agreement I with the British admiralty and could not add to it. - There was a report in naval circles that approximately 40 men, including five officers, were taktn off the sub marine. If this were true, it - was pointed out, the vessel undoubtedly was one of the largest of the cruiser type known authentically to he oper ated by the Germans. The action occurred in the war zone, several days ago, and the sub marine went down while one destroy er was attempting to towT her to port. Although the British policy is to pub lish nothing in such cases, an agree ment was reached between the navy department and the British admiralty to give out certain facts which Secre tary Daniels announced in a brief statement. Officers of both the war and navy departments, however, were too elated over, the news to keep it quiet. First the report spread that some prisoners had been taken, and before the day was over the story, of . . . i i , " just wna nappenea, was out. Mr. Daniels' statement said a de stroyer on patrol duty, sighting a per iscope at 400 yards, headed for it and dropped a depth bomb; that the sub-; marine came to the surface soon af terward and was fired upon by two destroyers, a second having come up; that the submarine, apparently dam aged, did not return the fire, and sank immediately after the destroyer had taken her in tow. It is now known that the subma rine rose because her steering gear w&s damaged by the explosion1 of the depth bomb. As she 'appeared above the water to meet gun fire from the destroyers at close range, most of her crew clambered on deck and raised their hands. Boats put off from the destroyer to take the prisoners on board and while this was going on, some members of the. crew were busy opening the sea cocks below. When the prisoners were removed and a tow line had been attached, the captured craft, filling through the open cocks, went down. Navy officers assume that the Ger man sailor who died was wounded by shell fire, though it is understood that Admiral Sims' report did not clear up that point. of letters coming: in from wives, moth ers and fathers, telling their husbands and sons that the crops which they left in the fields are groine to waste for the lack of labor to harvest it: 1 1 i 1 1 m . tnat the children are hungry because there is no money with w-hich to buy provisions; that the wife is sick ond no one to look after her. That is the place for a great work. The men here do not need Christmas presents or feasts. They are all well cared for, have their friends and acquaintances, but they cannot fully devote them selves to their work because they are thinking continuously of the depend ents back home. Many telegrams come each day telling of sickness. The greatest work that the people at home can db is to visit the families of men who are away. If they need the ne cessities of life or a doctor, see that those things are furnished. They, need comforting because in -so many in stances it is the first time husband J and wife have been separated", and al- V i j.1 1 rf-nl so latner ana moiner ana son. iney can hardly endure this separation. I hey feel as if thev have lost all there is in the world for them to look to in time of trouble. The field is unlimited, and you cannot imagine what joy it would bring to the hearts of the men here if they knew there was a little Christmas in their homes." I think it is of the first importance for your county council to read this letter carefully and take steps at once to look after the families of soldiers and especially to see to it that where there is poverty and sickness, that the front hall Toon and Sallie Pearsall and Mrs. T.

About 75 guests were present. Miss Gertrude Courtney, voice teacher at Flora Mac donald, gave several solos which add ed greatly tothe pleasure of the af ternoon. Mrs. Narion of Smithfield spent a few days this week with Miss Louise Purcell. Messrs. Angus Bryne, Austin Rob erts, Lathrop Buie and Henry McPhaul of Camp Jackson and Will Boahn of Camp Sevier spent the week-end at home.

Members of Congress are beginning to return to Washington for the open ing of the second session of the v,ar December o. Most oi them expect the new session to rival the last in important action and few think it will end before the general congressional campaigns next fall. Appropriations for the war promise to require much time and there .is much new as well as unfinished war legislation to be dealt with. Presi dent Wilson's opening message soon after Congress reconvenes will deter mine, in great measure the program of new legislation. Many domestic matters, including prohibition and woman suffrage, are promised atten i tion. ' Future relations between this na tion and Germany's allies may be de termined early in the session. Many members of Congress expect the Pres ident's opening address to deal with the question, of whether war shall h declared against Austria, Turkey and Bulgaria. Sentiment in favor of such action is general among, members now here. but also given human sympathy. I also call your attention to the allow ance made by the government to fam ilies of dependents. Many of these dependents do not know how to make their claims against the government for these allowances, and I suggest that you get the lawyers of the coun ty to prepare whatever papers are necessary to secure these allowances wherever they are - merited. Please give to extract of th above letter the widest publicity possible in your county. . r.i T. W. BICKETT, Governor. Raleigh. Nov. 22, 1917. Report Any Case Where Aid is Nec essary.

The concert which will be given at the high school building Friday evening for the benefit of the Nation al Aid no doubt will be well patroniz ed. Mere mention in a notice publish ed elsewhere in this paper of the tal ented ladies who will take part is ample assurance that the concert will be a" treat and would be well worthy of patronage even if it were not for such a worthy object as the Nation al Aid. Mr. Alex Barnes of Fair Bluff passed through town Friday en route home from Charlotte, where he had been visiting his son ?.lr. M. G- Barnes, who is in the training camp there. Mr. Barnes .spent one night at the camp and was very much, pleased with the surroundings.

A Buick roadster was driven Tues last week with consider able speed against one of the end railino-s of the iron bridge across Lum ber river on the Creek road at the Kingsdale mill, about one mile from Lumberton. Mr. E. S. Rudd of Lau rinVmrf was drivinsr the car and was on his way to Lumberton. A little further to one side and Mr. Rudd and his car would -have landed in the mid hIp nf the river. The car was batter ed up badly, but no one was hurt. I TMa is the second accident of the kind Lthat has occurred at the same place within two months. It is a dangerous place. The road, which is good enough to invite speeding, curves sharply in to the bridge and one not familiar with the road runs right to this curve before he sees the bridge. If some sort of danger sign is not placed at this point . there is great danger of some one being killed there. Food conditions at army camps throughout the country are under in vestigation by a War Department committee with a view of eliminating waste.
