Lth meeting to which threaten to compel the imme diate evacuation of the entire Somme Oise salient from Bray to Noyon. Farther to the north between Albert and Arras, Field Marshal Haig has followed up his successes of previous days by a new offensive over a front of about ten miles and driven for ward his troops for splendid gains over the entire line, capturing a num ber of villages, taking prisoners and guns and inflicting heavy casualties on the enemy. Still farther north, in the famous Lys sector, a general eastward ad vance on a front of more than four miles has been made by the British who have brought their positions rn preciably nearer the old 1916 battle line running east of Armentieres. Numerous additional villages have been liberated by the French north east of Soissons and positions have been captured on both sides of the Oise river which seemngly make un tenable for occupaton by the enemy the important town of Noyon, which is now outflanked on the southeast and dominated by the French guns from the south and west. On the south the French are standing in Sem ; . pigny, a mile and a half distant, while ! Drive Will Continue on the west they have captured the important pivotal town of Lassigny, the key position to Noyon and the plains to the north. With the latest advances bv the ored, was the last speaker on the pro gram and his address thrilled his hearers, both white and colored. Af ter he had finished his address Mr. T. L. Johnson, chairman of the local exemption board stated that no mnro sensible or patriotic address had ever been delivered here. Thp aHH a gem. It is expected that Dr. Davis will come to Lumberton to address a mass meeting for the colored folks of the county at an early date. After picturing the war aims of Germany, the speaker told of the great part America is to play in bringing about world Democracy and an ever-lasting peace. He said that beiore Prussianism should reign ,5 000,000 American negroes and 20,000, 000 whites would give their lives on the battlefields of Europe. Prayer was offered by Charlie Mos ley, colored, and C. H. Morrisey, col ored, sang two splendid solos.

The "doctors" arrived here irom Maxton Tuesday evening and regis tered at the Lorraine as follows : Mrs. W. P. McAllister, Birmingham, Ala.; Dr. H. H. Washburn, Raleigh, N. C; H. T. Giles, New York. Wednesday morning early Dr. W. A. McPhaul, county health officer, who had a com munication in Monday's Robesonian warning the public against these "doc tors," called upon the above-named trio. He elicited from Mr. Giles, the statement that neither he. nor Mrs McAllister was a physician, but that Dr. Washburn was. Dr. McPhaul told them if they attempted to do business here he would have them indicted and would convict them upon statements made in their own advertisements. They did and he did. Mr. A Currie of Lumber Bridge consulted the "doctors?" and naid them $20 down and gave his note for $30 for medicine which was to be shipped from Birm ingham. Mr. P. H. Lewis of Marietta paid $5 down and was to pay $10 more. Which about wound up the business ! broke of the "doctors " here. They were confronted by Sheriff Lewis with a warrant charging them as aforesaid, practicing without license. They showed fight at first and employed I Mr. H. E. Stacy to defend them, but later they accepted an offer to be. al lowed to go on their way on condition that they refund every cent that 'had been paid them by those who had con sulted tnem tiere. This was done and the "doctors" left in a hurry in their auto for Whiteville. But their troubles seem only to have begun. At Maxton Tuesday these "doctors" seem to have had a high old time. From reports it seems they gathered in much of the "long green." Mr. S. A. Snead paid them $25.40 and when he learned what had been done at Lumberton his heart went j out with longing for those same iron The fire company was railed on.
