WIPING OUT OF GERMAN SALIENT PRELUDE TO PROJECTED BATTLE! HAYES C0LLE1T OF "SELECTIVE SERVICE MANUAL" Book By Young North Carolinian That Will Be Valuable. The following is taken from a Lau rinburg dispatch to the 'Vilmington Star. The Lieutenant is a son of a native of Rowan and many of the old er citizens recall the name and family: -f-interest to the many friends of Lieut. A. L. James, Jr., 15th United States Calvary, is the announcement from Los Angeles, Cal., that the Timec-Mirror Publishing Co., pub lishers of the Los Angeles Times, the largest daily paper in the Southwest, will shortly publish a book by Lieut. James. The title of the book i3, "Se lective Service Manual." The book is intended primarily for men registered under the Selective Service Bill, to whom it will prove of great value, but it will be of almost equal value to the civilian who does not look forward to military service, but wishes to know something a' out military affairs. The chapter on Phy sical Training (wihich applies equally to civilian, and soldier,) the instruc tion in riding, gven in chapter IV, and the Glossary of Military terms alone make the book of great interest to the civilian. To schools that desire to give their students a :our.?e of Physical training, or elementary mili tary training, the work will be in-1 valuable. I repeat, that all power is a trust that we are accountable for its ex ercise. Benjamin. Disrael. A Captain J. B. Smith is to be Here and Talk to People on the Work of the Army Y. M. C. A. Friday The Association Most Be Supported. Captain J. B. Smith, a chaplain in the United States Army unuer Gen eral Wood will be in Salisbury next Friday, and will address the business men of the -city on the Work of the Young Men's Christian Association in the Army.

The British Resume Their Trench Raiding Over a Front Reaching From Ypres to Epehy, a Distance of 70 Miles General Sarrail Is Evedently Preparing to Resume the Of fensive in Macedonia Where Considerable Fighting Has Been Going On for a Month or More. Iondon, June 11. The Brit- ish have made an advance South of Messine?, according to an official statement issued by the war department this morning. Washington, June 11. The Austrian counter offensive on the Italian front has btoken down completely, according to official advices received here from a member of the Itali.in cabinet. (By Associated Press.) The wiping out of the German salient at Messincs aupears in the light of later developments to be merely a prelude to a projected bat tle of far mightier descriptions after the German reaction of a surprisingly feeble character. The British resumed their trench raiding over a front reaching from north of Ypres to as far south.' 'S Epehy, a distance of about 70 miles as the crow flies, but far more thart that along the torcherous wirdJr)gi battle front. The official announce ment of raids north of Ypres is es-' pecially interesting in view of the re cent frequently reported heavy ar tillery fire on the Belgin front. Some weeks ago the Germans made a voluntary retirement from in front of the Belgian lines, a fact little not ed at the time in the pressure of greater events. ? ! , From Ypres the allied 'front curves shaply to th esea and thret ens the German hold on the sub marine bases on the Belgian cost, Ostend and Zeebrugge. In the meantime there are indica tions that General Sarrail is pre paring to resume the .offensive in Macedonia, the Bulgarian war office reporting a great increase in the violence of the allied artillery fire in this section of the front. Consid erable fighting has been going on in Macedonia for a month or more but the meagreness af official reports and surpassing interesting events in France combined to obscure the exact situation. Another gleam of light has pierced the dark cloud hanging over Rus sia. The Cossacks have again voiced their determination to support the provisional government and there are indications that they will receive strong backing from the peasants. This cheering news comes on the heels of the publication of President Wilson's message to Russia and which was hailed by the British press as not only a great State paper but a ft'ijwer ful reinforcement to the men who ae striving for law and order in the in fant republic. ANOTHER FOOD CONTROL BILL. Would Grant Board Powers to Presi dent But Would Not Fix a Maxi mum Price Fixing Clause Much Opposition Expressed. (By Associated Press.) Washington, June 11. The second administration food control bill grant ing broad powers to the President was agreed ta by the House agricul tural committee today and immedi ately reported to the House. Chair man Lever expects the bill to pass with less than two weeks debate. The first bill would stimulate food production and the second control of distribution and price. The bill pro vides a guaranteed minimum price to producers of non-parishable agri cultural products under' regulations to be prescribed by the President. The committee dropped the plan for maximum price fixing on the ground that it was unnecessary. There appears to be a good deal of opposition expressed to it. Conscription will be a blessing to those women who have been compet ed to do the work and support an idle man. Asheville Times.

PETERSBURG, VIRGINIA, IS ABANDONED AS LOCATION Army Officials Decide Petersburg is Too Near the Big: Dupont Powder Plant for Camp. (By Associated Press.)
