HICKORY SCHOOLS CLOSE
' VERY SUCCESSFUL TERM
Commencement Exercises Em
braced Thursday and Friday
Nights—l 6 Graduates
Oiie of the most successful
terms of the Hickory City
schools came to a close Friday.
In the High School department
there were sixteen graduates— j
nine young ladies and seven,
voun£ men.
Forty-two received certificates !
of promotion from the Grammar |
grades to the High School de-'
payment.
The closing exercises em
braced Thursday and Friday
nights. Thursday night the High
School concert was rendered in
the auditorium of the North:
buiiding, and consisted of instru- j
mental solos, recitations, decla
mations and songs. This was a !
highly enjoyable feature of the
commencement and the young
participants acquited themselves
in a very creditable manner.
Friday night the graduating
exercises were heid before a
audience which crowded
the auditorium and which de
monstrated fully the need of a
larger place in which the enter
tainments of the city schools
co'ild be held. Many persons
who would have liked to witness
and hear the exercises could not
find room and were turned away.
The salutatory was given by
Miss Margaret Wannemacher,
whose subject was "The Power
of Music," and the valedictory
by Miss Sadie Mer.zies, who read
an essay on "Child Labor." The
class history was read by Reuel
Newton; class statistics by Miss
M?ry Cline; class jokes by Mur
phy Whitener; class poem .by
Rosco Sublett, crass prophecy by
Miss Greta Wezsn and class will
ty Miss Isabella Morton. Two
essays, one by Kurgan Wither
spoon on "Some Needs of Our
City", and the other by Ewart
Huffman, whose subject was
4 English Poetry," were highly
applauded, tnese being told from
!> memory in the ljature of a aecla
—«arftion. A piano solo, r
by Miss Lucy Sledge; cornet solo,
"Melody in F," by Henry Mer.-
zies; vocal duet, "Sailing Away."
by Misses Margaret Wanne
macher and Sudie Burns; piano
duet, "Delta Kappa Epsilon
March," by Misses Lucy Sledge
and Margie Hoyle and a piano
solo, "II Trovatore," by Miss
Margaret Wannemacher were
some pleasant features of the
evening.
After this program Was ren
dered Prof, C. M. Staley, super
intendent of the city schools,
presented diplomas to Misses
Sudie Bums. Mary Cline. Margie
Hoyle, Sadie Menzies, Isabella
Morton, Luiy Sledge, Ethel
atarnes, Greta Wezen and Mar
garet Wannemacher, and Ewart
Huffman. Tneodore Ingram.
Henry Ne izies, Reuel Newton,
Roscoe Suolett, Murphy White
ner and Burgan Witherspoon, the
members of the cl ass of 1915,
and the exercises came to a close
with the singing of *the class
song.
Tne term just closed ha 3 been
one of the most successful in the
history of the schools, consider
ing the crowded condition of the
two school 'buildings, and Profes
sor Staley is very proud of the
record he ha 3 made. He hopes
in the course of time to have a
separate high school building
and says in this event that more
students will stay in school until
they complete the course should
such a building be provided.
There is some possible chance
of a third school building being
er cted this summer on the prop
er y recently purchased. At first
it was not thought that the new
Djilding would he built this sum
mer, but duripg the past session
every inch of available space in
the two buildings now in use was
taken up in caring for the pub
lic in attendance, and the ex
pected increase in attendance of
about 2uo by next fall brings out
a serious problem. Twenty
teachers were employed during
the past session.

A RUPTURE BETWEEN
VILLA AND ANGELES?
Reported to Carranza Agency
At Washington From
Esgle Pass, Tex.
Washington, April 24 —A ser
ious rupture between General
Villa and his chief lieutenant,
General Angeles, was reported to
the Carranza agency here today
in a message from Eagle Pass,
Tex. General Villa, the message
added, had ordered his personal
followers to Torreon, where he
was concentrating garrisons from
towns along the border. General
Angeles remained at Aguas Cal
ientes, it was said, to meet the
advance of General Obregon
from Irapuato.
State department officials said
they had no knowledge of a
break between Villa and Angeles.
The text of the Eagle Pass
message, as given out at the Car
ranza agency tonight, is:
"The sericus breach between
Villa and the ex-Federals serving
under him. caused bv Villa lay
ing all the blame for his recent
defeats upon the cowardice of
the ex-federals, and this charge
embracing General Angeles, has
caused Villa to order all his fol
lowers to concentrate at Torreon.
Urbana has evacuated San Luis
Potosi and proceeded to Zacate
cas, where he is covering the re
treat of Villa. All the garrison
alonar the border have been or
dered to evacuate and concen
trate at Torreon without delay.
This leaves Generals Aneeles,
Raoul and Emilio Madero to face
the brunt of Obregons's advance
toward the north."

SALLIES ARE FORCED
I BACK TO YSER CANAL
: Teutons Are Pouring Troops Into
Flanders—Big Battle is
Raging.
The Germans are pouring
troops into Flanders to press the
attack, which at the beginning
has forced the allies back to the
Yser canal, north of Ypres. This
movement, according to reports j
reaching Holland, has assumed'
even greater dimensions than
those which preceded the battle
that raged for more than two
weeks in the same region last
October. On that occasion the
operations ended in the discomfi
ture of the Germans, who had
declared their intention of push
their way through to Calais.
It appears that the Germans
have a similar aim todav and
have set out to capture Ypres,
described as the key to French
coast ports.
While the attack originally
met with considerable success,
due, according to the allies' re
ports, to the use by the Germans
of asphyxiating gases, it is said,
already to have been checked.
The Canadians who held the ex- j
treme left of the British line and
were forced to retire when the
remainder of the front was press
ed back, made a brilliant count
er-attack, regaining most, if not
all the ground which they had
conceded and retaken four guns
which they had left in the hands
of the Germans. In the words
of Sir John French they sayed
the situation.
These attacks are believed to
be the beginninging of another
big battle, which with both sides
strongly entrenched, promises to
be one of the bloodiest and most
bitter of the war. Telegrams
from Holland tonight tell not:
only of the movement of German
reinforcements to the front, but
of long trains of dead and wound
ed passing to the rear —a condi
tion which also must exist in the
rear of the allied army. The
outcome of this battle is waited
with utmost eagerness.
In the meantime fighting goes j
on in Champagne and the Woev-1
re as well as in the Carpathians, j
Despite torrential rains, the Rus- i
sians appear to have resumed i
their attack on the Austro-Ger- j
man positions guarding Uzsok I
Pass. Capture by the Russians
of hill 1,001, it is claimed, will
greatly faciliate their operations, j
reducing in importance hill 992 j
which cne Austrians still hold. '
Confirmation of this new Rus- {
sian offensive is contained in the j
Austrian official report, which j
records fighting on Turka road, i
which traverses Uzsok pass.
There is no official news as yet
of operations in the Dardanelles
or the North Sea, but in the lat
ter region there is evidence of
activity by the Germans, who
have sunk or captured several
neutral vessels. The Danish
steamer Nidaros was captured; ';
the Norwegian steamer Caprivi;
was blown up by a mine off the
English coast, while the Finnish
steamer Frack was torpedoed in
the Baltic.
Diplomats are watching Italy,
which apparently has not yet re
ported a decision on her future
attitude. The fact that the meet
ing of the council of ministers
called for today was postponed
wouid seem to indicate that ne
gotiations between Italy and the
Germanic allies stiil are proceed
ing or that Italy is waiting for a
final answer to her demands for
territorial concessions.
Motorists Find Roads Good.
San Diego, Cal, Aor. 26.
Twenty-thousand eastern motor
ists will yisit the San Diego Ex
position during 1915, according
to G. T. Bindbeutel, editor of
Motor Print of New York and
contributor to other autonmbile
publications, now studying the
expositions and the back country
of the west. He bases Lis esti
mate on the enormous number
of inquiries received by the pub
lications he is connected with.
One reason for his present trip
is to examine road conditions in
the west.
"The roads are surprisingly
good" he says " and the won
ders to be seen from the high
ways are stupendous. The ex
positions are doing their great
est service in bringing tourists
through the wonderful west. I
have still to see the Panama-
Pacific, but the San Diego Ex
position is flaw leß3 gem, an eye
opener for the jaded traveler."
Oae way to reiieve fcabituil consti
pation is to take regulaily a mild laxa
tive. Doan's Regulets are recom
mended for this purpose, 25c a box
at all drug stores.
