WARM IN PHILLY LOCAL COMPANY MAKES GOOD RECORD With something over 50 examined by the federal muster officers Mon day, only three men of Company A were turned down for physical de fects and one of these, Mr. C. S. Stevenson, may be permitted to re am his membership. The defect that threw him is the absence of the in- ex finger or trigger finger of the ight hand and under the regula tions of the war department, he is nehgible. However, the department has been wired and it is hoped that this defect will be waived so that Mr. Stevenson, who has been passed be fore despite this handicap, may re main with the company.: The others eliminated are Messrs. A. C. ..ohr of Hickory and P. F. Moser of Morganton.. ; Captain Meyer and Dr. G. W. Cno- ate began their work of examination Monday and the boys were stripped and examined by turn. The officers a me first, and Capt. G. L. Huffman, First Lieut. Frank L, Cline and Sec ond Lieut. Joe H. Cilley passed in good style. The men examined first are old members, and they have passed through other tests, though probably not as severe as the present one. The muster officers remarked on the good physiques of the men, most of whom are as solid as metal and as hard as bricks. The examination may be concluded by tomorrow and then the muster roll will be ready. The non-commissioned officers have not all been de signated yet, because the officers are not sure how many they will be al- owed. The complete roster will be printed in this paper as soon as ,the examinations are completed. COTTON CONTRACT IS HELD ILLEGAL y the Associated Press. IFort Smith. Ark..

By the Associated Press. One of the big moves of the war apparently is under way in Flan ders where the rijfht flank of the German front is anchored on the sand dunes and flat fields that skirt the North sea coast. Unprecedently terrific battle of big guns that has been raging for days past has been succeeded by a charge of the infantry and a combined English and French force is sweep ing over the fortified Teutonic lines. Early reports of the engagement do not indicate exactly its scope and it can only be surmised as to its exact purport. It seems insignifi cant, however, that French forces have combined with the British on this sector. There is a keen desire on the part of the entente command to get at the submarine bases which line the short of Belgium and this purpose would be accomplished by any sweeping vic tory achieved on the Flanders front. The attack of the two allies mark ing the southern boundary of this field is marked by the river Lys about 30 miles from the coast, "On a wide front" is the official Brit ish expression describing its scope which obviously does not make clear, the object. The operation gives every evidence of being a major one, however and it is clear that it was successful in its initial stages, the war office de claring that it was successful and that satisfactory progress was be ing made. Many prisoners have been captur ed. Thelaunching of the drive was seemingly a surprise to the Germans who only yesterday were boasting that the intensity of their artillery had caused the British gunners to lessen the intensity of their fire. It comes moreover after the tremen dous efforts the German crown prince has been making to break the French front in the Aispe region. The French reserve force evidently is strong enough not only to defeat the strong pressure of .the crown prince, but to carry on an offensive with the British. In addition General Petain last night made a successful attack on his own account on the Aisne front, carrying German positions 1,500 yards wide on the Chemin-des-Dames and capturing more than 100 prisoners. On the eastern front while the Russians are now evidently making a determined stand against the Austro-German forces, the latter are still advancing. Russian anxiety to protect the holding of terrain in Bukowain is particularly evident, but even here the German reports that the Rus sians were forced to yield positions. The breaking of the Russian lines in the Carpathians and the advancing of the Teutons in this region iro h reported by Berlin. In all more than 2,000,000 Russian troops are said to be in retreat. Conditions in the seventh army, in which the traitorous developments which caused the Russian line to break, are reported to be improving with the execution of the deserters and agitators. iMrs. II. C. Lutz and son, Horace, Jr., returned this afternoon from Blowing Rock. The son is very much improved, though he is suffering from a sprained wrist. SOCIOLOGICAL CONGRESS By the Associated Press.
