GRA ONES MURDE WILL SYFAK rmr i t mm Ilicko'ry people are anxiously waiting the coming of Captain Da vid Fallon, of the P.ritish and Aus trian forces, who will deliver a war lecture at the Hub theatre, Friday afternoon ata 4:30 p. m. this is the first opportunity our people have had of hearing from a man who has been in the trenches, and in this case they will listen to an oflVcer who has been in the trench es for three years, has commanded one of the big tanks that wrought such deadly work on the Loches, and lias been wounded fifteen times. Not ratified with rendering such yeoman service for the allies, the captain as soon as his convalescence began to work on another line tell ing the people straight from the shoulder iat could b; expected of the (Jermal; in the event of ;i pos sible victory for the central allies. The following taken from a Phil adelphia exchange, will show how much a Pennsylvania audience ap preciated the war talk given by the warrior who will appear before a Hickory audience on Friday after noon at 4:00 o'clock: "The speaker of the evening was Captain David Fallon, of the Aus tralian contingent of the British ar my, who has just come to America after two years and three months at the front and in the trenches in France and Callipoli, and who car lied as souvenirs of his experience the marks of fifteen wounds and h smashed jaw. Captain Fallon is now 'invalided' ami is spending his time in America giving lectures on the war, educating Americans as to the true conditions and prospjeqts;. as well as informing us what to ex pect in the line ( duty for both our civilians and soldiers. He is acting as war editor for the New York Her ald. "Captain Fallon's address was thrilling and blood-stirring to a su perlative degree, and at times the audience sat frozen with horror at the dii'-losures of 'Boche' savagery. He predicted a long, pitiless war which will cost millions of Ameri can men and untold billions of dol lars. The big theme of his talk be fore the Philadelphia audience, and indeed of has work in America, is the burning need for preparation here at home to take adequate care of wounded American soldiers when they begin to return, which the cap tain stated would be very soon. "(Juptain Fa'lon made it very plain that there are lots of people here who will not go forward, who have plenty of money, and who should give, and if they don't give some means must be made whereby they will be made to give, and do their part, as when these boys return they naturally are going to expect to be received well, and there cer tainly will be trouble if they are not received well and provision made for them, when they come home wounded and maimed .after trying to do their best for their country and to ket up our independence."

He had told some of the crew that he was feeling bad and was going back to the caboose to lie down. He had been there but a few minutes when a heavily loaded coal car carrying several other cars with it left its moorings near the old mill and came at a great rate of speed 'down upon the freight. The ca boose was crashed to splinters be tween the coal car and a heavy steel car just in front of it. Fennell's body was ibadly mangled, and was extricated with difficulty. The body was removed to a local undertaker's and will be sent to Lincolnton, his home. He leaves a wife and several children. Con ductor Fennell was 45 years old and had been running on the C. & N.

PETROGRAD AVIATION CAMP DEAD CONDUCTOR FEHHELL THURSDAY EVENING MAN OFFiCERNORTH CARfll INA GER C APTU RED BY LANDS FOR MB Kb M m a - . msm FORESTS By tho Associated Press. With the American Army in Frari,cJ, Wednesday, March C An American staff colonel while with a French raiding party for the pur pose of securing- information a few kays before his men took up their position on the Lorraine sector met a Prussian lieutenant and captured him. The American brought the captive back to his lines. The German raid in this new sec tor occurred Monday night, a sharp light taking place in which the Ger mans suffered a repulse with losses. The Americans gave the enemy a hot time. The American troops here are training with French troops as at the Chemin des Dames positions. This makes the third American de tachment in the trenches. During several clays of American service here the casualties have been extraordinary slight, as the sector has been one of the quietest. The Prussian lieutenant's capture was the first instance of an enemy officer being- taken prisoner by the Americans and also the first occasion upon which an American officer had captured either an enemy officer or private in this sector. By the Associated Press. Washington, March 7. Plans to break up the vast holdings of Ger man interests in the United States and place them in other hands so that after the war they cannot con tinue to be what has been character ized as outposts of German kultur in the United States was presented to congress today by A. Mitchell Palmer, alien enemy property cus todian, and the committee unanimous ly agreed to take action. Mr. Palmer asked and the commit tee agreed that legislation shall be attached to the urgency deficiency bill empowering him to sell these properties to any private interests -but not to the United States gov ernment the proceeds to be held by the government. Whether the German owners would receive the money would be determined by the peace terms. American property in Germany, the committee was told, was sub ject to such action. Like treatment of German property in the United States), Mr. palmer told the com mittee, would hamper Germany and help the United States win he war. The committee by a party vote, however, with the Republicans op posing, also authorized the president to take legal title to the German wharves and docks at Hoboken, N. J. The Republicans opposed it be cause they feared it might lead to government ownership and opera tion of shipping facilities after the war. Councilman J. L. Cilley left to day for Patterson to spend a day or two looking after his farming interests. NEW YORK COTTON Bv the Associated Press. "'New York March 7.

PLAN rO BEACH U-BOATS Popular Mechanics Magazine. If actual trials prove the scheme , to be practicable, it is understood that m order to check the depreda tions of the enemy s U-boats im mense ocean going barges towed by powerful armed tugs, may be used instead of steamships for transport ing freight through the submarine zones. Long, low-sitting inclosed craft of steel construction will be tested Crews being unnecessary, the barges are to be decked a few inch es above the water line so that from a distance they will be practically invisible to a periscope. As is perhaps generally known .a tug, be cause of its small size and compar- j atively shallow draft, offers a tor ' pedo a poor target. In a gun duel, I should a U-boat risk such a fight the tug would have nearly an even break 5 with the enemy. JAMBURG IN RUSSIA By the Associataed Press. Londonj. March 7. The Germans have captured; Jamburg, east of Narva, while the Turko-German of fensive is continuing beyond Trebi zond, says a Russian official agency dispatch received here today.

ML GROVE RAISED $107.82 AI SUPPER The annual box supper was held at Mt. Grove school house Saturday night, March 2. The favourable weather permitted a large crowd. Under the leadership of the teacher, Miss Sadie Setzer the school house was beautifully dec orated in laurel, red, white and blue crepe paper. Great interest was shown by the girls of the district who furnished 27 well filled, artistically arranged boxes, which brought $33.35. A delicious angel Cake covered with fancy candies was furnished by Mrs. Frank Huffman, which by vot tfcg on the prettiest girl, brought $72.37, Miss Katherirfj Boatright won the cake. Mr. Walter Abernethy was award ed a box of handkerchiefs for guessing nearest the number of pears in a ba.sket. In this contest a fee of 10 cents a guess was charged which amounted to $2.10. Total amounted to $107.82. Who can beat it? Much of the success was due to Mr. Luther Wfritener, who cried the sale, and he can rightfully be called the champion crier. The patrons of Mt. Grove know how to accomplish things; they are not living for the present only, de stroying their children's hopes by ungrateful, careless-hands, but they are the ones who are working wnoie heartedly and earnestly for the fu ture welfare of their children. They are the ones who realize that a great part of their children's i lives arc molded in school and by ! their sperificing are crowning their 'children's lives with success. i Continue, dear parents, to lend your hearts and hands m tms great work and keep Mt. Grove ahead as it stands today, and in the future you will lend to the world noble man and women who will richly reward you by their worthy accomplish ments, due to your interest in school, flnnp-rat.nlations to vou and thanks ' to all who helped to make $107.82 for the benefit of this school. ' Hurrah, and three cheers for Mt. Grove! PRICE GER ANS API! MANS STOP ADVANCE OF ARMIES INTO Advance Wednesday Was to Consolidate Stolen Country Russians Understand What "Peace Means to Country Little Fighting on Western Front Reported Today By the Associataed Press. With the cessation of the German advance into Russia, military oper ations in the European war fields are again confined to trench warfare, artillery bombardments and corol lary aerial activities. Both sides are almost equally ac tive in the newly developed raiding tactics in which the artillery arm is freely employed by way of prepara tion and support. The German raid ers, ' however, were somewhat more aggressive than usual during the last 3G hours, according to official communications, which said German troops had attacked at various points along the line. The artillery fighting along the .French lines centered chiefly in the Verdun region, where it was accom panied by rads which the French re pulsed. Bombardments also occur red in Lorraine, but tfiere has been no mention of American troops be ing pushed back. German advance into Russia was suspended on Tuesday, Petrograd dispatches declare, and its resump tion on Wednesday appears to have been only to accomplish the consoli dation of the German line, delineat ed in the peace treaty along the Esthonian and Livonian frontiers. Addresses made at the soldiers' and workmen's meeting in Moscow indicate that there is a full under standing among the masses of the people the terms forced on Russia. One of the speakers declared the new frontiers constitute a "ring of iron, around revolutionary Russia" which Germany intended to crush through her economic demands.

KEEPING WARM IN FINLAND Christian Herald. In many ways the Finns are a very queer people. It is during the terribly cold months that the Finns revel in the mighty ovens that fill one corner of every kitchen and often loom up large and vastly im pressive in the other rooms of a Finn house as well. The tops of these monster stoves are pclffectly flat, and steps lead up on one side. When the weather become bitterly cold and bleaks the entire Finnish family will take quilts and pillows and, mounting to the top of the big heater, spread tlown their bedding and sleep very comfortably and contentedly on the hard, hot bricks until morning. SIX DIVISIONS IN By the Associated Press. Washington, March 7. Based on the three-line method of trench war fare involved in France the war de partment, it was learned today, had approved of a plan of organiza tion which fixes six divisions as the standard army corps. Three or more corps will consti tute a field army and the immediate purppse of the department is to complete the organization of the first field army in France in the shortest possible time to give Gen eral Pershing opportunity to use his men effectively. The plan leaves to General Per shing determination of the number of corps and field armies needed and authorizes h:m to recommend com manders for these larger divisions. By the six division army eewps plan, two corps will occupy a front sector, while two lines of two corps each will be behind them for re embracing and replacing them.
