THE KINSTON FBEE PRESS WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 23, 191g EAST CAROLINA'S CORNUCOPIA BRIMFUL; BROTHERS IN WEST ARE IN BAD STRAITS; GIVE MORE, IS APPEAL OF COMMITTEE (DaSy Free I'res 19th) - '- The following appeal for more subscriptions from Kinston to the State Flood Sufferers' Fund was made this moraine: by Messrs. N. J. Rouse, member of the State Committee here, and Mayor Pro-Tern. Douglass : "The Governor and member of the State Relief Commit tee have gone through the flood-stricken district of Western North Carolina, and the word cornea to us from them that the need of help is far greater than seemed at firnt; that in addi tion to properly lonae staggering in amount, there in real Buf fering from the want of the actual necessities and comforts of life. At firHt we asked our people to Rive $300. To this ap peal there has been a general response, and the amount has gone beyond that figure until we are within a few hundred dollars of $1,000 from thia city and vicinity. We are making thi new appeal to the generous peoptt- of the community to join us In reaching, and If poKHible, jtowj beyond the $1,000 marl; for thia moot meritorious purpose. The people of the exUeme west, who , have always shown deep sympathy for the people of the East, have been visited by a catastrophe unprecedented In the history of people now living. The voice of sympathy now cries aloud to ua to come to their aid. ' "In thia section the good things of life are being literally showered upon us. Our tobacco is bringing price beyond all expectations; oar cotton promises to yield us returns probably unsurpassed sine the early days after the Civil War; cotton- aeed will probably bring us as much as a buafcel of wheat brings the Western farmer! and. in addition to that, our corn crop is a good one. In the midst of all this plenty and prosperity, we know that our people will not withhold liberal contributions from those who hare lost their all along the North Toe, the French Broad, the Catawba and the Yadkin, which, while bear Ing torrential floods, hare carried destruction to the homes of ao many. , ) "Our appeal U to all, and particularly to thoiie who, having given in the light of what then seemed to be a lesser calamity, we hope will bo moved to renew their subscriptions In the face of an appalling diatf fast In a, astounding in consequences. "You who have already contributed, will you not re-enroll In the list of additional contributions? ' "N, J. ROUSE, "Member of State Relief Committee. 1 . , "W. B.

Infantry band from this city, has been a fraquent visitor to Beaufort . since having been mustered in with "the soldiers at Camp Glenn. Now he is writing poetry about the place, ' The Beaufort News, weekly, prints a lot of verses and a nifty litUe foot note complimentary to the poet and Efcaufort, The whole thing takes up about three-fifths of a column. Here is a sample verses "Hurrah for the little town of ' Beaufort, the best little town We know, we the 2nd Rotf. hand, At always glad to go." There, now!

By suddenly shifting his attack :,o the Stochod river front northeast of Kovel, Brussiloff ias caught the Germans off their guard and is driving westward for substantial trains. Brussiloff struck north, while the Germans were stripping their northern lines or the defense of Lembertr from the South, lhe ilank- ;ng attack menaces both Kovel and the Germans at Pinsk. As a result of the Germans' sinking turrets in marshy ground around Kovel, the Russians have ceased their frontal attacks. ' During a lull at Kovel, the armies under Generals Ka 'edin, Sakharoff and Letchitsky swung westward like a giant pendulum, the movement was proportionally fas ter at the extreme south. Expert opinion believes more depends upon Brussil ff's campaign than the mere fall of Kovel and Lemberg, s the Hungarian plains are threatened. Extreme confi lence in the Russian generals presages sensational events before cold weather. German Attack on Fleury Fails. v Paris, Aug. 21. The Germans made a desperate at tempt to recapture Fleury, three and one-half miles northeast of Verdun, last night, attacking in force after spraying the position with liquid fire.
