Marked differences of views are ex pected to develop in the instructions to be presented, and it is expected that this will involve some argument. Arguments probably will not be gin until some time Wednesday, and it is not probable the Jury will get the case before Thursday. Tragic and sensational features of the case have ended so far as evidence is concerned. All that remains that may arouse interest will be the arguments and the charge by the judge. iBecause of the late arrival of the train on which Judge Moffett was re turing from his home in Roanoke where he spent Sunday, the trial of Vawter did not open until 11:30 this morning.

Per sons who want to help in the cause should be present tonight. If there is still anybody who fancies that membership in the aux iliary makes her liable to be called away, she should rest easy. All the Hickory ladies will have to do is to learn the art of doing those simple things required of surgeons and nurs es to dress wounds or treat diseases first aid work. Nobody will be ask ed to leave Hicnory and -nobody will be bound to do anything against her wishes. The Hicnory class simply will make bandages and other odds and ends for the Red Cross. Every thing learned will be of immense val ue in the home. Baby Week was brought to a close today with the observance of the day in the public schools. That the cam paign was a splendid success is now realized and the Community Club has every reason to feel elated. The tag day sales amounted to $80.84 and Miss Margaret Bruns will be awarded a two-pound box of candy, for making th best sales, her collection being $12.98. The play given Saturday night will be repeated at the Acad emy of Music this evening at 7:30, there being so many requests for it that the committee decided to give others in Hickory a chance to witness it. The address of Miss Morrell of Lenoir College Saturday afternoon was entirely practical and mothers who were present derived many good points irom it. lhe attendance was not as large as it should have been, but those who were there en joyed it.

One formida ble barrier lies between them and their goal .the Ailette river but from captured heights the French guns overlook the stream. 'The Ailette runs east and west par alleling the French lines. It is hard ly worthy of the name of river, but its bed is a deep gorge which makes it a grave obstacle.

In Germany there is much talk of political reform and several pro posals have been put forward in the reichstag to curtail the powers of the emperor and make the ministry responsive to the people.

The Russian riddle remains un solved, but for the time being at least the provisional authorities seem safe. Reports of demoralization in the Russian armies are corroborated by an order by the commander on the eastern front ordering the troops from fraternizing with the German troops. General Corko has called attention to the fact that the situation here has. enabled the Germans to transfer troops, to France. In spite of the peaceable ending of the May Day demonstration in Sweden the internal troubles in that country seem to be ebbing. Rioting and food demonstrations are reported from various parts and from reports received, the authorities are having difficulty in restraining the populace. The Berlin offifcial communication in referring to Saturday's battle, de clares that the French attempt to break through the German line was unavailing and that the gigantic thrust was entirely repulsed. -It ad mits, however, that the intense fire of the French guns destroyed com pletely the German positions on the Wfcnterburg and that this eminence and several adjacent sectors were oc cupied by the French.
