CAMP SEVIER AT GREENVILLE VISITED Delighted with Greenville and the location of Camp Sevier, where the North Carolina troops will train for service in France, Maj. Ceo. L. Ly erly, Capt. (I. L. Huffman, II. S. D'Anna, J. Worth Elliott and Rob ert E. Martin returned Tuesday ev ening, having made the trip in an automobile. The mayor of Green ville, met the party and told them to help themselves and Greenville, the Hickory men said, "is some town." The camp is about five miles from the city at the foot of Paris moun tain, from which the city obtains its water supply, and the foothills are dotted with springs. The watqr is unusually good and is abundant. The camp is equipped with electric lights "and a concrete road runs from Greenville to the camp. An artu lerv range of 2i3 miles is also avail able. The camp proper is about four miles wide by six miles long and will house about -10.000 soldiers. A hospital corps of the regular army has arrived from New York to tan., charge of the sanitation, and tfiere now are about 2,000 troops in trail, ing. It will be months before the camp is finished and the North Car olina troops, Major Lyerly . said, probably would be required to help build roads. Twenty-four members of the Lin tolnton cavalry have been assigned to the North Carolina engineers corps and of this number are Jos. I,. Murphy, .Jr., J. F. Miller, Jr., Ches ter Williams and James Smith oi Hickory and Warlick of Newton. The young men were drawn in a lottery. Greenville has spent about $1, OOO.OOO on the camp and in preparing for the soldiers and a regular towr is going up around the cantonment. Prick stores are being erected al ong with wooden ones, and a town like Hopewell is springing up. Greenville people are showing true hospitality. The ofliecrs and so,, diers are shown every consideration and on Sunday hundreds of homes are thrown open to the men in khaki. The Tar Heels there like the camp and the town and the Hickory com pany, which will leave here next Tuesday, is sure to be pleased with it, according to Captain Huffman.

Friends of Germany are conducting in Mexican newspapers propaganda against the United States, but so far the efforts have failed in so far as the better classes are concerned, but their ef forts have influenced the ignorant.

Hi By the Associated Press. Washington, Aug. 22 Senator Lodge opened today's debate, replying to Senator LaFollette's argument yesterday that the bill proposes to raise too little of the war's expen ses by taxation and too much by bonds. Senator Lodge insisted that it strikes a fair balance. Its tax levy, he said, is sufficient and that without disturbing business. Peace on the status before the war was opposed by Senator Lodge who de clared that the United States is fighting for its own safety and inde pendence. "We can have no peace wi'hout complete victory," he added. "I don't believe a German victory is possible, for it would make this world a place rot worthy of living in." WEATHER FORECAST The Ford car of Mr. Adrian Shuford of Conover, who is on a trip to At lantic City and New York, might have been in Tennessee now if two young negro men who stole it from his ga rage could have obtained enough gas oline in time. They left Conover Satrday night with a gallon of gas and this gave out in Highland, the boys footing it to the City Garage for more. About that time Chiei Lentz, who had been notified from Newton, walked in and the boys gave an exhibition of running. They ran through the gardens of Dr. Ramsay and Mayor Yount and es caped, and later the automobile wTas recovered. It was not damaged. Mr. J. F. Allen's horse, tethered in the front yard, broke and ran this morning when the soldiers passed and the owner had a time capturing it and returning it to the stable. If German cavalry horses were like that horse, Mr. Allen remarked after wards, the allies would win tlV wai in hurry provided the cavalry mounts could see the soldiers.

Al bert Sanders, the Mobile negro sen tenced to die for the murder of Mrs. Julia May Hass several months ago, and who was yesterday denied a new trial, was brought to Montgom ery today for safe keeping'. By the Associated Press. Another of the rapid succession of blows which the British and French are striking at various points along the Franco-Belgian front fell this morning in the region of Y'prcs whero the British last week were held by the Germans. At dawn the British advance ove the fiercely contested field between Landclere and Freseburg. No de tails have been received thus far oi the battle which is being fought over in a section strongly organized, with the Germans in concrete fortifications and machine gun holes. The importance attached to these positions is shown by the desperate counter attacks last week, by the Germans after the Irish had made considerable headway. Massing heavy troops, the Germans succeed ed in getting a foothold in this sector. Sharp fighting continues around Lens in the outskirts of which the British are making progress in spite of continued resistance of the Ger mans. Counter attacks duwig the night -Ciled and the Canadians have tightened their grip further. The Germans last night continued their efforts to recapture grouna gained in the new French offensive on the Verdun front. Heavy coun ter attacks were made on both sides of the Mouse and although th Germans were at first successful in obtaining a footing, they were driven out by the French. Several heavy attacks by the Ger mans in the Aisne sector failed. Vienna concedes that the Italians have forced back the Austrians at some points in the new battle of the Isonzo. The Austrians report the loss of a village and of territory south of Tolmino. It is claimed that more than 5,650 Italians have been captur ed. Two aerial raids have been made over England in the last two days. Early today aeroplanes approached the Kentish coast and although thev were unable to penetrate far inland dropped bombs on the important sea port of Dover. Evidently an effoiv to attack London failed. Several airships visited the York shire coast in the north of England during the night. Only minor dam age was done. MURPHY'S CANDIDATE Now York World. John F. Hylan is probably the dcep rt political mystery that Nevv York has ever had to solve. Why is he? How did he happen? What induced Tammany to take him a3 its candidate for mayor? Who wished him upon Murphy? Whatever may be said .against Tammany, it has a great number ot men of recognized ability, of wide experience in public service and of high reputation. Instead of taking one of them, the organization reach es into Brooklyn and picks up an ob scure county court judge who was never heard of until he was dragged intp the municipal campaign. Hav ing invented an issue, it would ap pear that Murphy had also invented a candidate. iNo more extraordinary proceeding has ever been known in New York politics, and if the rank and file of Tammany meekly accepts Judge Hy lan as its candidate for mayor, Chas. F. Murphy will become instantly el igible for membership in the Amer ican humorists' association. On account of the services at the Presbyterian church tonight for the soldiers, there will be no prayer meeting at the Methodist church tonight. Second Increment Will Not Be Called Before Spring, General Crowder Asserts For North Carolina: Fair tonight and probably Thursday; fUght va riable winds. Gity council Tuesday night ac cepted the plans drawn by Architect Asbury of Charlotte for the Carne gie Library to be built on the lot donated by Mf. and Mrs. J. WTorth Elliott and the plans were ordered sent to the foundation in Pittsburgh for approval. The building, in ad dition to the library room, will con tain a basement where an assemo;y i,oii will V.p located, and it will be naii ' a place of meeting for the various organizations oi tne city anu cuin-( munity if desired. i The work of grading Trade av enue preparatory to laying bitu lithic was ordered and this morning j a force of hands was busy digging j up the macadam. ' ! The new West building, which will be used for the high school, is prac tically completed and will be ready when the schools open on Monday, September 17. By Associated Press. Washington, Aug. 22 A full sta tistical report on the operation of the draft law will be prepared by the provost marshal general's office as soon as the mobilization of the first increment of 687,000 men has been completed some time early in Octo ber. Pending the preparation of the report and careful analysis of con ditions as disclosed, no step towards calling a second increment to the col ors will be taken. General Crowder said today that the call for the second incremen. never had been considered at any conference at which he was present and that he had no information oi any action by the president or sec retary of war. The training facilities already are taxed to make ready for the front men now available and it is regard ed as very unlikely that organization of an additional 500,000 men of the national army can begin until the early spring of 1918. Neither quar ters nor personnel to train the men are available. Inaqualities of an inevitable na ture will be shown in the report. There will be some amended regu lations based on actual experience wdth the first increment and some amendments of the law will be sought of congress. It is thought desirable that change be made so that all the sons 'of one family will not be taken. Still 'another is the status of married men. n
