The supply of helmets is seldom adequate to the demand; instead the market is only glutted on occasions of a big push or a large scale raid. Among lesser trophies, the ambi tious collector finds great scope for his activities in the shells sent over by the hostile artillery. Fuses and nose caps in wonderful varia tion are to be obtained with a lit tle pains, and the collection of these is encouraged by the general staff, because the setting of the fuse may give the correct range of a suspect ed battery, and there is other infor mation of useful character to be gained from the study of these tro phies. The French soldiers have special ized in aluminum rings and jewel ry made from the nosecaps of hostile shell, and quite an ambitious indus try has been developed in this way.

PUBLICANS N HICKORY FOR MEETING When the convention of the Wes terp North Carolina Association of Reublican Clubs adjourned for lunch at 1:45 this afternoon, the work of organizaing the various dis tricts was under way, a resolutions committee had been appointed with power to report back and a vote of thanks had been extended to Mr. R. A. Kohloss of Salisbury, president of the club. Th formalities took place shortly after 12 o'clock, but the interesting part of the meeting was scheduled for some time- this afternoon. Mr. B. F. Campbell, president o the Hickory club, presided at the opening, and Rev. S. B. Stroup of fered prayer. Mr. Campbell pre sented Mr. R. H. Shuford, who in troduced Mayor M. H. Yount, who welcomed the visitors here on the part of the city and Mr. Campbell welcomed them on the part of the club. Mr. Kohloss responded. All these addresses were felicitious. . The most interesting part of the day's proceedings, however, must have taken place in the office of Mr. A. A. Whitener, where the steering committee, named Monday night, met at 10 o'clock and did not finish its business until 1:45. There were two hours and three-quarter, of time disposed by the committee, which was reinforced by Mr. John M. Morehead, national committee mnn, and formed Senator Marion Butler. Just what the gentlemen discussed may remain a closed book, but they were up there a long time. Monday night it was understood that they were to talk about a res olutions, and this probably was the subject. Senator Borah of Idaho, who was, scheduled, to make an address, was detained in Washington. The resolutions committee nameo. by President Kohloss is composed of Thomas ettle, Brownlow Jackson, A. A. Whitener, John M. Morehead and W. H. Barkley. It was in structed to report after luncheon. Aside from a few speeches, there was nothing of interest at the open ing session. The Hub theatre was about half filled. Mr. Butler moved thSat a vote oi thanks be extended President Koh loss and told of his work in Tyr rell county. The convention unan imously expressed its appreciation. Caucus Monday Night In the sample room of the Huffry Hotel Monday night: Republicans here from various parts of the state held an informal caucus, m which matters relating to the business to day were discussed and a steering committee appointed to guide the destinies of today's convention. This committee, which was the result of a motion by Mr. A. A. Whitener, includes Mr. R. A. Kohloss of Salis bury, chairman of the Western North Carolina Association of Kepublican Clubs; Mr. Thomas Settle of Ashe- ville, Mr. A. A. Whitener of Hick- orv. Mr. Brownlow Jackson of Hen- dersonville and Mr. W. H. Barkley of Hickory. When the Record reporter entered the hall Messrs. Brownlow, Kohloss land Settle had spoken and Mr. Whitener was giving his ideas as to what the party should stand for this vear. The preceding speakers had told the gathering, composed mostly of Hickory and Catawba Republicans that this was not a Democratic war, but a Republican war as well and that the whole country was in terested in its successful outcome. Mr. Whitener followed with a stir ring address in which he informed his hearers that he didn't lean on the fence, but that they knew where to - place him. That was a habit he had formed and a custom that he did not desire to break. This war, he told them, means about as much to America- as the Revolutionary war. This is realiz ed by men who think, and he . told them that North Carolinians are en joying the laws and freedom made possible by those barons who caned King John to Runnymede and forc ed from him the great charter which today is the basis of civil lib erty in English speaking countries. Mr. Whitener said he was a Ke publican. but he would be ashamed of his Republican ptrinciples if they prevented him from being an American citizen first. Well, he proposed to be an American first, and he wanted his friends to know that. His remarks were loudly cheered. Mr. Whitener was followed by Mr. C. B. Spicer of Jefferson, who told how the Republicans had made erains in Ashe county until they had captured all the offices but one and would get that next time.- They did it by organization. JVLt. W.

'New German attempts to drive the British from their positions in Bourlon wood and the high ground dominating the Cambrai region have failed. General .Byng's mien have re pulsed another enemy counter attack at Ihe northeast corner of the wood. There wras much severe fighting Monday around Mouvres, west of the Bourlon wood, and in the out skirts of the Fontaine Notre Dame, immediately east of the wood and toward Cambrai. German artillery has been active in the Ypres and Verdun regions. In Flanders the British positions at Passchendaele, the northern part tf the Passchendnele-Gheluveli, ridge, are being bombarded heavily Lby the enemy, but Crown Prince Ruprecht of Bavaria has not at tainted infantry attacks. On the right bank of the Meuse, where the French gained the first and second defenses on a two-mile front Sunday, German attacks have been checked by the French artil lery, while the enemy guns have been bombarding the French posi tions. 'The activity of the big guns also has been violent in Belgium and north of Chemin des Dames. French and British soldiers have reached the Venetian plains to aid the . Italians in their brave defense against the invading Austro-Ger-man forces. Between the Brenta and Piave the Italians are withstand ing successfully massed enemy at tacks. The invaders attempted to rush defending lines on the left, in the center and on the short front between the rivers, but were crush ed by the Italians. British cavalry is now 3 1-2 miles from Jerusalem and is closing in from the southwest. The Turks are to the north and are holding in strength. The situation in Russia shows little improvement and the country is described as being on the verge of civil war. Efforts of the bo sheviki government to arrange an armistice continue and Berlin ana Petrograd are reported in communi cation by wireless, presumably in connection with the peace offer of the Maximalists. The second army on the Russian front has removed its officers, agreed to the bolsheviki armistice propos al and pledged its support to the extremists. The American government has received the armistice note from the Petrograd government and it is under consideration. The minis ters of the allied powers, it is re ported, will demand their passports if a separate peace is made. General Kaledine's Don Cossacks leader, acocrding to a dispatch f . ceived in London, is master of the situation in Russia. He is in con trol of most of the grain growing territory in the south and is said to hold the Russian gold reserve, re ported removed from Petrograd a year before the war broke out.

Nor thern New York is in the grasp of a severe cold wave, the coldest for November in 16 years. tion, of which Mr. B. F. Campbell is president, has 635 members and has been kept alive since the last cam aign closed. Organization here got results. Mr. John O. Berkley, edi tor of the Mercury, appealed for more loyalty to Republican newspa pers in the state and Mr. R. H. Shuford emphasized the necessity of attending to details like paying poll tax and seeing that the voters not only registered but are brought to the polls. That's were you get results, he added: There came the question of adopt ing resolutions pledging the loyalty of the Republican party. Messrs. Jackson, Kohless, Settle, Whitener and Barkley said this should be done and then the convention should get down to business. Mr. Barrett of Asheville thought Republicans were known by their acts and did not have to announce their position. They were always patriots. Mr. Horace H. Abee said he had been a Republican all his life, but he didn't see why the convention. Pressed by Chairman Kohloss for his reas ons, Mr. Abee intimated that they were strong a-plenty, but he did not give them. Then it was moved that this mat ter be left with the steering commit tee, and there was no doubt where it stood. Every man on it hau spoken for the loyalty resolution.
