BIG VICTORIES FOR ALLIES
Allies Take Offensive and Drive
Huns Across the Marne
AMERICANS UPHOLD BEST TRADITIONS
Break Through German Lines, Taking Many Guns
and Thousands of Prisoners
Following the breaking down of the
German offensive last week, the
. Americans and French launched a
drive of their own on Thursday morn
ing, on a front of about 25 miles on
the Aisne and Maine, which proved
quite successful. In that day's fight
ing, more than 20y villages were cap
tured by the allied forces, the lines
were advanced from four to six miles,
thousands of prisoners were captured,
besides large quantities of guns and
war materials. The Americans at one
point west of Soissons, captured 4,000
prisoners, 30 guns, and much war ma
terial. The advancing armies were
within a mile of Soissons after a few
hours' fighting. The American troops
carried everything before them in the
drive and proceeded so fast that cav
alry was thrown into the action. The
offensive extended from the region
west of Soissons to the 'northwest of
Chateau Thierry.
On Friday, the Americans and
French battered their way farther
eastward and successfully withstood a
terrific counter attack by the Germans
southwest of Soissiw. According to
the war office announcement Fr.lay
night, the Franco-Amebian offensive
had yielded 17,000 prisoners unci o60
guns.
Saturday nigh- ihc- report wi t hat
there were no Germans south of the
Marne except prisoners and dead,
while the Americans were thundering
at the gates of Soissons.
Fighting continued Sunday along
the entire 60-mile front between Sois
sons and Kheims, the Germans steadi
ly losing .ground despite stubborn re
sistance on some sectors, almost all
gains made by them in their recent
"drive being blotted, out. Chateau

OUR RALEIGH LETTER
(By Maxwell Gorman.)
Raleigh, July 23. Never since the
United States entered the war has
there been so much encouragement
displayed by North Carolina folks as
at present over the developments on
the war front, where the American
troops are giving such a splendid ac
count of themselves. Students of the
war situation who often visit Ral
eigh (and we have a few local judges
also) believe the tide of battle has
turned at last and we all know that
the presence of over a million Ameri
can soldiers was the deciding factor in
turning it. Just as the arrival of an
other billion before the year ends (and
other millions later, if need be) is go
ing to win the war for the Allies for
Christianity, for Civilization, for De
mocracy, for Decency and for the safe
ty of representative government the
world over.
It is something for North Caroli
nians to be proud of, when they re
flect upon the splendid work of the
United States Navy, under the guid
ing hand of Josephus Daniels, in safe
ly carrying overseas under the con
voy and protection of war ships, of this
great army of fighters, without the
loss of a single troop ship or of a sin
gle soldier despite the threats of the
German submarine menace. It is un
paralleled, it is a glorious achieve
ment. Off to Press Convention
Bearing the president of the N. C.
Press Association (S.mtford Martin)
and other more or less distinguished
quill drivers; the special team' for
Asheville is leaving here today for the
annual meet of newspaper men.
Mr. Martin says he has information
that the attendance will be larger than

that -the boys' this time have to "put
up the cash for their transportation,

Third District Congressman
There is considerable interest yet in
Abernethy s contest for the primary
nomination for Congress in the thmi
district, and it is not impossible that

EST DISCUSSED
We are all crea;ures of habit, and
the Thrift Stamp habit 's an excellent
one. Cultivate it.
Many superstitious people are
prophesying that the world is coming
to an end. It will in time.
Mr. J. L. Lawrence and family have
move'l back to Randleman from High
Point.
Many of the Asheboro people evi
dently are not suffering from ;. short
age of food, judging from the num
ber of wheatless days kept by tJ.em.
We clip the following from the San
ford Express: People are asked to
conserve to help win the war. Idlers
and loafers are given to under.:tand
that they must go to work or go to
tiie front and fight. This is right and
proper and the people of the country
will hold up the hands of the govern
ment In seeing that this is done. But
while every able bodied man, who is
not at the front figh-ing, should be re
quired to have regular employment,
why let boys who r.re under the draft
age idle away their time as is bei-g
done by some of the boys here in San
ford? We noticed last week some
pio-ht nr ten nf these hovs. both white
and colored, throwing hsrseshoes on
one ot the bacK lots or ine town, a
citizen of the town who r.lso saw these
hnvs whilp pneaepd in tl is rame. tells
The Express that there were boys in
that crowd as large as one oi his sons
who get? $1.50 per day for his labor.
A smr.ller son gets 50 cents per day
for his woric. The demand for 1 -bor
is great and the boys, as well as the
Ti en, should have regular wo:-k. If
parents can't induce their boys to
work, the town authorities should take
t-.e matter in hand and see whet can
be done.
Every man knows how mean his
neighbors are, but he is never abso
lutely sure about himself.
Mr. Ed Webster, a good farmer on
Millboro Route 1, made 280 bushels
of wheat.

long before he will be able to resume
business.
Mr. Dan Trogdon, who resides half
wav between Ashebpro and Franklin
ville, has a fine farm and is a good far
mer and believes in improved stock.
When folks in Asheboro squirm and
fume abount the "high prices"' they
should remember that it is better to
have them and the money to pay the
price than to have low prices and no
monev.
If you do not v.nnt The Courier be
nice enough to pay up and ask us to
stop it.
Mr. Ernest Kime has moved from
Cedar Falls to High Point.
People might make less complaint
at the high prices if what they buy
was any good. For instance, a $7.00
pair of shoes now gives not near the
service that a $4.00 pair gave a few
years ago.
