Great numbers of Ger mans have been hurled against it, especially that portion in Flanders where the British are holding forth,) but nowhere have they been iota to gain an inch of ground. Field Mar shal Haig's order that no more ground be ceded is rigidly being romplieo with, as is attested b the thousands of Gorman dead new lying herc-ie tie British positions southwest of Ypres, where it is the ambition of the Ger man high command to break through and envelop Field Marshal Haig's forces and gain an open highway to ward the English channel. Northwest of St. Mihiel the Amer ican troops have been compelled, to withstand a series of persistent as saults , second in intensity only to those delivered by the Germans f gainst the British in Flanders. And the honors at the end rested with the Americans, who met the foe at every style of fighting he offered and de cisively defeated him. At Neuve Eglise throughout Sat urday night and Sunday heaviest fighting took place, the village chang ing hands several times, but at last reports the British were still in pos session of it. Thursday. Germans by terriffic fighting suc ceeded in penetrating the British de fense at points between Arras and Ypres over a front of nearly 30 miles CO a depth of almost b miles just to the south of Ypres. Loss of Armen tieres admitted by British, but this was expected. Withdrawal of Brit ish forces was orderly and only for the purpose of straightening out the line in the region where the German j pressure is heaviest. British stood firm at vital points along the line. Friday. After 3 weeks of a combat which has eclipsed anything that has raged during the entire 4 years of warfare, Field Marshal Haig issued a command to his men to hold their ground at whatever cost and fight with the knowledge that their blows are struck "for the safety of their homes and the freedom of mankind." Ths. capture of Merville featured the fighting during Friday, this town, in Flanders west of Lille, marking the farthest advance of the Germans in their present offensive operation up to Friday. All along the line from just north of Lens to Hollebeke, southeast of Ypres, there were tremendous at tacks which were met by savage re- j sistence. The hardest fighting along j this front seems to have centered a-' bout Messines, for which the Germans; and British struggled hand to hand j Mcdonald goes OVER THE TOP Names Handed in For Various Town Offices All Candidates Must Re port to Primary Managers Before April 28.

RED SPRINGS NEWS NOTES. I enclose herewith a who have been called for entrainment in accordance with an order just re ceived from the office of the Adjutant General. These men are required to report during the week beginning April 26, a definite date for entrain ment for each man to be indicated on the notice that will be mailed to him during the next few days. This board has authority to postpone the call of about 50 per cent of these men where it is established that they are continuously and actively farming and that to withdraw them from the farm would result in the loss of the crop or other great hardship. I want to impress upon registrants that it is useless to come to see me or other members of the board prior to the day that the men are ordered to appear for entrainment. It has been my established policy not to definite ly decide upon the claims of iny man until the date of entrainment. Each man who desires to file a claim should go to a member of the legal advisory board and prepare affidavits setting forth the facts, and mail them to the board. We will examine the affida vits before the date of entrajnment, and then as many as desire to do so can report before the board en that day and make further claim. I want every man who files an af fidavit and asks to have his son or his tenant deferred to state in his affi davit whether ha has su'scobed to any Liberty bonds, and if so the num ber. It is my conviction that the men! was Mr. Henry JcLeod of Bennetts who get the benefit of n postponed i yille, S. C.
