The Allies have withstood the attacks with ifreat firmness, giving way in some places, but not without inflict ing ternnc losses on tne enemy. French and American troops cbntin uing their attacks in the region of Brussiares on the Marne front, have gained some ground "and taken sey: eral hundred prisoners. The armies of Crown Prince Rup precht, of Bavaria, are striking the Allied line in a new offensive ' with Paristipparently as their objective;-:- The Allied commanders were ex1-; nectinar another offensive from the Germans and had been strengthening their lines for the purpose for days beforehand. Secretary Baker now announces that there are more than 700,000 Americans abroad, and they are rap idly becoming an important factor in therwar. The activity of the U-boats on the American coast seems to nave sub sided for the time present. The British steamship Harpathtan was sunk by a -German submarine Wednesday morning of last week 100 miles Off the Virginia Capes, but all the crew were saved and landed at an Atlantic port. The Norwegian steam er Vinland was sunk 65 miles off the Virginia capes the same day.-but her rew were saved and landedat Cape May, New Jersey. - Men arriving in Atlantic ports. hav6 told stories of a transport's race up the Atlantic coast, closely hugging the shore, lights darkened and under full pressure of steam, to elude German U-boats, two of which gave chase. SHORT ITEMS OF NEWS Capt. Percy W. Foote, who was com mander of the American transport f residnt Lincoln, when it was torpe doed by a U-boat, is a native of North Wilkesboro, North Carolina. He is safe, and his quick work is said to be responsible for the fact that all the-! passengers were saved. Presbyterians of Greensboro are working hard to induce the Presbytery l.alprnjvieollege hat denomination in Greensboro The Gas Defense Service is now manufacturing about 5,000 gas masks for horses per day. It is expected that every horse connected with the American Expeditionary Forces in France will soon be equipped with the new masks. For making treasonable remarks; among which he is said to have de clared that the draft law was uncon stitutional, that" the negroes could not be made to go into training as they were given no privileges and were hardly citisehs, and that the govern ment of the United States was more autocratic than that of Germany, August Dressier, a native German, of Winston-Salem, was sentenced to 18 months in the federal prison at At lanta, last week. Senator Simmons has presented to the President the necessity of co-ordinating the state boards and depart ments of health with the office of tee surgeon general of the army. Messrs. R. E. Steele and.R. M. Ban ner, of the Amercian Commission Co., Greensboro, have announced that ev ery dollar profit 'made by this firm during the war will go for the com fort of American soldiers in France. W.-M. CorbetV a deserter from Camp Sevier, was shot dead while re sisting officers at his father's home in Pitt county, on last Saturday. ' The name of New Berlin, a town on the Atlantic Coast Line railroad near Wilmington, has been changed to Pershinsr. ' The first-junior Red Cross ambu lance for use in France was recently dedicated by 3,000 school children at Rosslyn Courthouse, Virginia. The war. department intends to es tablish 13 permanent airplane (sta tions and perhaps a number of balloon observation stations on the Atlantic coast It is practically certain that North Carolina win get one or more of these stations. : British output of tonnage ..during the 12 months ending May 81, was al most double that of -the preceding year. - Thia construction,; now almost balances the destruction" Jy ; enemy submarines.' , . Stat. Field Agent Parker of tha Federal Bureau of Crop Estimates, says that North Carolina farmers have the finest prospects forjrrainr and haya for many rears. The condition of wheat shows 93 per cent of a full crop, which should rive ' 13,800.000 bushels of grain, i Ti e estimate for the United States shows 84 per cent condition with promise of 687)00,. 000 bushels. , -vv ;r . To Limit-Retail Price , The Food Administration announces that, definite measures to limit retail prices will be taken. Through the medium of standardized "fair-, price lists" to be published all over the country, the oftlcials' will endeavor to bring prices to a uniform level, not only protecting they average buyer but also the patriotic merchant, who has followed 1U suggestions, from the Un scrupulous dealer who ban atUropted to UV advanUg of the situatioa To aid in the work, prlce-int-rpirting commutes will be wtablishod In tvry cotrununHy.

Dean, of Worthville. was here a short- while Monday T It was good-news that came last Sunday to the effect that Company K had arrived safe in Franco. People, it is now, up to the home folks to? see that the boys over there get letters at least once a week.; They would rather have a letter from home in France than an automobile here. A great War-Savings Stamp Cam The war has not yet placed any re strictions' on the 'marriages in . this country. . Mr. U. A Cornehson, who is run ning a prosperous mercantile business at beagrove, was jn.town a few days agO. ' ' - The brick work on the new h6Siery mill at Staley is progressing rapidly and within a couple of weeks the walls will be nearly completed. The work is being pushed as rapidly a& possible 1 . u: 1. - i . ' u aud it wiUt only baa short trnintiw3lvin, Harrison Bean, Seagrove. Staley can boast of ajuip-to-date ho siery mill. Messrs. C. Jr. f ox, A. l McArthur, C. M. and, P. A. Staley are named as incorporators of this new enterpflte. Each of our three garages now have a good business. - An increased acreage has been plant ed in food and feed crops this spring and the planting season is not over yet. Farmers are rallying nobly to the cause in this countiy. But more must be planted and they must have help. This labor should be had from the towns and cities. Enforce the va grancy law and let's get behind the farmer. Mr. Banks Teague has bought 50 acres of land near Staley and expects to build a nice residence on it in the near future. The articles by Mrs. Ida Ingold Mas- ten in The Courier are very interest ing and eagerly looked tor. When a merchant has successiuuy conducted his business for the space of forty years, no better evidence need be advanced to prove that his metnoas have been fair and square. This is the record held by Mr. Henry Yow, of Seagrove, a dealer in general mer chandise. He is the owner of a big farm and a nice residence in Seagrove and also of the building in which his store is located. Wonder if Ramseur is the largeU cross tie market in the world T It takes a wise man to pick up a girl who is going to be good-looking when she is forty-five. . A good many tobacco growers have recently moved into this county from other counties, recognizing the excep tional advantagestffered. The soil is easily cultivated, the yield is uniform and reliable. The Staley merchants are doing a good business and Boma of their cus tomers are going to get rich selling eggs if their old hens don't quit laying so many eggs. , They who have labored to make us wise and good, are the persons whom we ought to love and respect, and to whom we ought to be grateful. While from the quality and quantity of its products Randolph would seem a county suitable only for the produc tion of wheat oata. corn, cotton and tobacco, It is yet in its possibilities for the live stock farmers that the county offers its bimrest opportunities. Ta time is at hand when Asheboro should get m wiggle on and make a great stride to keep pace with sur rounding cities. This can only be done by an organized effort What we need to begin with is a young-blooded, live Lcorpuscied organization with no ene i . - . t . a . mles to punish, no friends to reward, and no politics to promote. The oldest negro in Randolph county is living in Trinity township. He is 114 years old. Th) Courier is always pleased to publish letters irom the soldier boy a. - A school teacher not so far from this city had punished Tommy so oft en for talking (luring school, and the punishment had been apparently with out effect, that as a last rvsort. she deckled to notify Tommy's father of his son's fault So the followed the department work on his next report with-these words t , . .

Boys Who Go To Camp Should Carry Lunch On account of congestion in travel it has been hard for some of the peo ple who travel to r'et.food. It is therefore a good plan for the men who leave for the different training camps to provide lunches. It is a pleasure and little trouble to the homo folks to send lunch along and it will doubtless be much more enjoyed than bought food. The ladies of Asheboro have been helping out along this line for some time and they now ask that each soldier be provided with lunch, before he leaves home. Sheriff Eugene Lupton, of Pamlico county, has been indicted in Federal court at Raleigh on the charge of failing to arrest deserters in his coun ty. cd with his father's signature, and unaer it was written: "You ought to hear his mother."
