O, FRIDAYJUNE 1, 1917. 1.50 SR YEAR CASIL DESPERATE UATTLE lS AMI WAG. KD AT ALTITl DE OF 19,000 FEET Past Fed Hay Have Witnessed Hard est Fighting of War Itritish Illot'n During Running Out of Aninitinition He Driven l'l o and Shoots Antagonist With lV,.ot. British Front In France, From a Staff Correspondent of the Associat ed Press. May 30. via London. The! recent lull in the fighting has had no effect whatever upon the British aeri al offensive, which continues day and night with unrelenting intensity. In the last few days there have been witnessed sonic of the most desperate air battles of the entire war. One or two of these have been fought at the unprecedented height of 19,000 feet, or more than three and one half miles from the earth. Recently there was a duel in which a British pilot, having run out of am munition for his machine gun, got close enough to his antagonist to shoot him down with his revolver, 'k'iis Incident served to recall the fact that when the war began the only weapons which aerial pilots had were pistols and carbines. Commenting today on the dazzling altitudes at which many combats oc curred nowadays, a pilot said that when he first went to war in 1914 he flew a machine which took an hour and a quarter to reach 6,000 feet. "That's nothing," said one of his companions. "The old bus I had could not reach 6,000 at all." The airplane which could not nego tiate 10,000 feet well under ten min utes would be scrapped quickly now. Toll of German Planes Heavy. The toll of German planes destroy ed in May will amount far into the hundreds. In last Sunday's fighting alone 30 were accounted for. Fifteen were seen to crash to the ground, 14 were driven completely out of con trol and one was shot down by ar tillery. One of the melees on Sunday, be tween six British and eight German machines, was as thrilling as any aerial battle ever fought. It was at close quarters throughout; bo close, in fact, that wings scraped against wings and fighting pilots could look each other squarely in the eye. No sooner would a British pilot swoop up to the tail of one of the German machines than another German was upon his tail. This German in turn would almost immediately have an other British pilot pouring bursts of machine bullets at him. At one time seven machines were following each other in headlong fashion toward the earth. It was nearly 8 o'clock in the evening, when the British offenaire patrol sighted the eight Germans, well over their own lines. The ene my machines fled, but were eventual ly overhauled and brought to combat The commander of the British for mation dived at the nearest German, but the latter turned sharply beneath him and escaped the burst of fire. The commander then attacked an other machine just in front of him, pouring In many rounds at ranges shortening from 50 to 20 yards. The German went down 4,000 yards in a spin, then turned over and continued to fall, completely out of control. Twice Went Down in a Spin. By this time another hostile air craft was on the commander s tan. He tried to shake off the German, but could not do so, and deliberate ly went down In a spin. When he flattened out he found the German still with him, and so he again went down In a spin. The German was then attacked by a British pilot who had follow ;d him down and sat on his tall, f Joding his machine with bullets until he went tumbling to earth, swaying back and forth like a piece of paper in a gale. Spinning and diving, this remark- bale feat was kept up until three Ger mans had been shot down. The oth ers having fled, the British patrol re turned without a single casualty. The pilot who brought down a machine with seven shots from his automatic pistol already had accounted for two other Germans, making a record of three for the day. One of the most remarkable es capes from death which a pilot ever had occurred today. While over the German lines his machine was hit by a shell which tore a hole through It and exploded on the engine, wreck ing It. The pilot's leg was fractured In two places but he brought his ma chine back over the lines to within five feet of the ground, when he lost consciousness and crashed to the earth. The machine was so shot about that the men who extricated the young flier had to pull him through the hole which the shell had made. Nightly British filers drop tons of bombs on military establishments back of the German lines. Social. Mrs. T. T. Capehart was hostess to the Study Club Wednesday afternoon.

PRES. WILSON DELIVERED ME MORIAL ADDRESS AT ARLINGTON He Did Not Pity .Men in Whose Honor Ceremonies Were Held. As They Accomplished Great Work For Liberty. Washington. May 30. America's response to the call of liberty In the struggle of the world will hold the at tention of all mankind, President Wilson said today in a Memorial Day address at Arlington Nr.tional Ceme tery. In observing the day, he said, the natural touch of sorrow is tinged with reassurance because, knowing how the men of America have re sponded to the call of liberty, there is perfect assurance that the new re sponses "will come again In equal measure, with equal majesty." The President spoke in the natural amphitheatre in the cemetery at a meeting arranged by the local G. A. R., and attended by a crowd of thou sands. He said that he did not pity the men in whose honor the ceremo nies were held. "I envy them, rather," he went on, "because theirs is a great work of lib erty accomplished, and we are in the midst of a work unfinished, testing our strength where their strength has already been tested." The time for action, he said, has come, "and in the providence of God, America will come once more to have an op portunity to show to the world that she was born to save mankind." "The program has conferred an un merited dignity upon the remarks I am going to make by calling them an address, because I am not here to de liver an address. I am here merely to show in my official capacity the sympathy of this great Government with the object of this occasion, and also to speak just a word of the sen timent that is in my own heart. "Any memorial of this sort Is of course a day touched with sorrowful memory, and yet I for one do not see how we can have any thought of pity for the men whose memory we honor today. I do not pity them. I envy them, rather; because theirs is a great work for liberty accomplished, and we are In the midst of a work un finished, testing our strength where their strength has already been test ed. There Is a touch of sorrow, but there is a touch of reassurance also In a day like this because we know how the men of America have re sponded to the call of the cause of liberty, and it fills our mind with a perfect assurance that that response will come again In equal measure, with equal majesty, and with a result which will hold the attention of all mankind. "Wien you reflect upon It, these men who died to preserve the union, died to preserve the Instrument which we are now using to serve the world a free nation espousing the cause of human liberty. In one sense, the great struggle Into which we have now. entered is an American struggle, because it is in the sense of American honor and American rights, but it Is something even greater than that; It is a world struggle. "It Is a struggle of men who love liberty everywhere and In this cause America will show herself greater than ever, because she will rise to a greater thing. We have said In the beginning that we planned this great Government that men who wish free dom might have a plr.ee of refuge and a place where their hope could be re alized, and now, having established such a Government, having preserved such a Government, having vindicat ed the power of such a Government, we are saying to all mankind, 'we did not set this Government up in order that we might have a selfish and sep arate liberty, for we are now ready to come to your assistance and fight out upon the fields of the world the cause of human liberty. In this thing, America attains her full dig nity and the full fruition of her great purpose. "No man can be glad that such things have happened as we have wit nessed in these last fateful years, but perhaps it may be permitted to us to be glad that we have an opportunity to show the principles that we pro fess to be living, principles that live In our hearts, and to have a chance by the pouring out of our blood and treasure to vindicate the things which we have professed. For, my friends, the real fruition of life is to do the things we have said we wished to do. There are times when words seem empty and only action seems great. Such a time has come, and In the providence of God, America will once more have an opportunity to show to the world that she was born to serve mankind." Made Own Safety Boat. Cerlo, Egypt, .May 30. A family of refugees from Tripoli, Syria has just arrived here, having escaped from Turkish territory in a boat of their own manufacture. The boat was constructed entirely at night, be ing built inside their houte with the utmost secrecy. As soon as com plete, it was launched late one even ing on a rough sea. The Journey to a place of safety was a terrible one, the occupants of the boat being much of the time waist deep In water and es caping sinking only through tireless and persistent balling. According to Information brought by this family, the population of Jeru salem had been reduced about 60 per cent since th war. Some smal ler villages, particularly on the north of Lebanon have only one-seventh of their old population left, the re mainder having either fled or migrat ed to the Interior to escape starva tion.

Many Arrests For Attempts to Defeat the Conscription Law Conspirators Arrested in NewYork and Other States Defendants a Committee Front "Col legiate Anti-Milltaiism League" Which Held a Meeting May 8 Two of the Defendant. in Kansas City Hud Made an Attempt to. Ob tain Injunction Against Governor to Prevent Enforcement of Regis tration Art. New York, May 31. Federal agents today took action here against an alleged conspiracy to defeat selec tive draft reginration In New ork. Three students, two youths from Columbia University and a young wo man who is a senior at Barnard Col lege, were arrested and held by a United States commissioner for ex amination tomorrow. The defendants are Owen Cattell, son of James McKeen Cattell, of Gar risan, N. Y., noted psychologist and a professor at Columbia; Charles E. Phillips, of Columbia, and Miss Eleanor Wilson Parker, who will be graduated In June from Barnard. The three are members of the Col legiate Anti-Militarism League, In the rooms of which a meeting of college students was held here on May 8, when plans are alleged to have been made 'against the peace of the United States and their dignity." A pamph let of this organization on file at the Federal District Attorney's office shows that it has members at Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Cornell, Colum bia, Oberlin, Amherst, Syracuse, Ho bart, Pennsylvania, Radcliffe, Bryn Mawr, Iowa, Nevada, Leland Stan ford, Rutgers and other colleges, uni versities and theological institutions throughout the country. Miss Parker is executive secretary. According to the complaint, filed by the Assistant United States Attorney, Cattell, Phillips and Miss Parker con spired to induce "divers persons whose names are unknown" to fall to register as required by the selec tive draft act and the proclamation of President Wilson. These "divers" persons are set forth as males be tween the ages of 21 and 31 years, Inclusive. The defendants, alleged to be a committee selected at the May 8 meetings, are accused of having en deavored on May 24 to have the Graphic Press print pamphlets en titled "Will You Be Drafted?" The complaint against them Is based part ly upon an interview which the at torney had with Moses Spiegel, presi dent of the Graphic Press, and partly upon information obtained through an investigation by agents of the De partment of Justice. The complaint alleges the three de fendants signed their names to man uscript copy sent to the Graphic Press to be published In folder form. Cat tell said after his arraignment that the meeting was attended by dele gates representing college students generally including those subject to the selective draft. A copy of the text of the alleged anti-conscription document made public today by the Federal authori ties contains the assertion; "We will approve the action of any one who refuses to register for con scription." The pamphlet says a res olution was adopted at the May 8 meeting "of members of the Colle giate Antl-Milltarlsm League and other persons" Betting forth "our aims for condemning the draft meas ure Itself." It declares that the qes tlon of conscription "with Its impli cations for the future," Is more Im portant than the question of defeat or victory In the war; and that con-j scrlption as outl ned In the new aw Is abhorrent to any true conception of a democracy.' congress were elected presumably be- ...L ,.. a out of war." the document asserts, sPPVP?ir'ot LIm.

GOVERNOR MCKKTTS APPEAL Enrollment Day and Its Duties A l ull to the Cilizclisliip. Gov. Uukett has issued the fol lowing appeal to the citizens of the State: North Carolinians, the Fifth Day of June drawns nigh. It behooves us to put our house in order and bo ready for its coming. All peoples in all climes have their eyes fixed on that day the day whereon a mighty nation is to register Its consecration to selfless service In the cause of universal justice and abiding peace. The day is destined to loom large in nistory-, and will be forever linked with a world-wids acceptance of the rights of man first declared at Phil adelphia and made secure at York town. Happily In North Carolina there is no longer divhion or debate. With a faith that casts out fear we go forth to register a stern challenge to the blood red prestige of a band of hereditary autocrats who have made unto themselves and unto their people an Iron Image and called it God. But the registration in a single day of all the men in the Sate be tween the ages of 21 and 31 calls for persistent and systematic work. I therefore urge: 1. That all ministers of the gospel, of every race and creed, call atten tion at every service conducted by them between now and the 5th of June, to the following duties of citi zenship and commands of the law: (1) That the registration books will be open at 7 a. m. on Tuesday, the 5th day of June, and close at 9 p. m. (2) That it Is Important to regis ter early In the day In order to avoid congestion in the closing hours. (3) That the law applies to white and black alike. Ministers and teach ers of the colored race are requested to emphasize the fact that all colored men between the prescribed ages are required to register in precisely the same manner as the whites. (4) That no physical disability will excuse a man for failing to regis ter. If he is between 21 and 31 years of age he must send his card, no matter what his physical condi tion may be. The question of ex empting him from service on account of physical unfitness will be deter mined at a later day. It in no way affects the obligation Imposed upon hlni to register. (5) That if a party wilfully falls to register he will forthwith be ar rested. Our people must be given to understand that they have no discre tion In this matter. If their names do not appear on the registration cards when they are canvassed, a warrant will be sworn out against them at once. I sincerely trust that not a man in North Carolina will be arrested for failing to do his duty. (6) That of the men who regis ter on the Fifth Day of June probab ly not more than one out of twelve will be drawn for service on the first call. But If a man shows any dispo sition to avoid or evade his respon sibility, he will in all probability be the first man who will be sent to the training camps. In every conceivable aspect It will pay the citizen to cheer fully comply with the law. II. I urge every newspaper In the State to call attention to the six mat ters above mentioned In every Issue of the paper from now until registra tion day III. I urge all traveling men, ru ral mail carriers, physicians who practice In the country, all merchants L 1 nHJ 1 -1 n"TXV:" '1" r;fc . j .f .th.!1?stme?'empJ..yee.s "l tenants to the requirements of the 1 1 law. , '1Vt' urge every man who knows about registration day to deem it take pleasure and pride In seeing to that no man In that precinct shall be arrested for failure to do his duty. V. I suggest that on Sunday after- inoon, June 3rd, or on the night of .June 4th, there be held In every town er. I do urge that every man wno ran spare time will turn out on reg istration day and assist In every possible way In securing a complete registration In every precinct. Let the women and the children, together with the older members of the family, go to the place of regis tration with the boy who la to re cord his name as a champion of jus tice to all men and of peace for all time. T. W. BICKETT. Governor. Mr. J. J. Parker, president ftf the sum-il907 class, will attend a reunion at the State University Monday. Local and Personal Mr. B. Frank Harris left this morning for a visit to Charleston, Mt. Pleasant and Bishopville, S. C. The Aldermen have elected Mr. A. M. Stack city attorney, who suc ceeds Messrs. Vann & Pratt. The veterans from this county will leave Monroe for the reunion in Washington Monday morning at 6:10 o'clock. They will have a special car. Mr. Brooks Myers has been plac ed in charge of the Secrest Motor Co's repair department. Others who have positions with the new garage are Miss Evelyn Wolfe, Mr. Frank Por ter and Mr. W. A. Short. Messrs. Stack & Parker have been appointed local counsel for the Farm Loan bank. It will be their duty to look into the titles of prop erty put up to secure loans, and other various duties. Formerly a citizen of this coun ty, Mr. Fred Ezzell, a Southern civil engineer, has decided to come back. He will build a handsome home on his property one mile north of Mon roe on the Concord road. Union, Anson, Mecklenburg, and Scotland county letter carriers held their annual meeting here Wednes day. Thirty-five farriers were pres ent. Mr. T. L. Love was re-elected president, and Mrs. S. H. Rogers was chosen secretary. The old flag of the 48th Regi ment, which Camp Walkup veterans loaned to the State Historical Com mission, has been sent back to the survivors of the regiment to carry with them to Washington. It will be returned to the State. The thought of wearing a snake belt might be repulsive to some, but not to Capt. W. C. Heath. He is wearing one made from the skin of a large copperhead snake which he kill ed on his farm several weeks ago. He had the hide tanned, while Mr. H. J. Hinson made the belt for him. Mr. Wlalkup Matthews, son of Mr. N. S. Matthews, is a corking good gardener. On last Saturday he had beans for dinner, while on Monday he was able to sell some. He also has corn tn the silk. He figures on having roasting ears for dinner by June 10th. Friends of ex-Sheriffff John Grif fith were surprised to see him on the streets the other day after being stricken with paralysis Saturday morning. The stroke proved to be slight, and with the exception of be ing a little weak, the ex-Sheriff looks like he did prior to receiving the stroke. In assigning registrars to the va rious precincts for June 5, the county registration board goat a little mixed over the Sandy Ridge precincts. There are three precincts in Sandy Ridge, but only two registrars were assigned. This oversight was. caused by the fact that the Marvin precinct has been created only a short while. The error, however, has been remedied. The registrars for Sandy Ridge are: East Sandy Ridge (old Billy Wolfe place). H. L. Price; West Sandy Ridge (Weddington), Prof. O. H. Orr; and Marvin, G. W. Sutton. Deputy Clerk of Court Frank Wolfe had a rather amusing time of it this morning. He was making out registration cards for those who will be absent from their precincts on June 5. when in walked Mr. Frank Faulk of Unlonville to get his. Mr. Faulk's height Is only 56 3-4 Inches, but the funny part happened when Mr. Joe Lassiter, secretary and treas urer of the Gulf Paving Company, followed Mr. Faulk. Mr. Lassiter's height Is six feet and one Inch, and the sight of the two standing there caused Mr. Wolfe to chuckle. He's marked their respective heights on the wall to keep as a record. There Is one sure thing about these two gentlemen. They both will not serve in the suni'e company if they are con scripted. Overcome by smoke In a well In which he was working on Mr. Bud Terrell's place a mile and half east of Monroe, Frank Graddy, colored, age 25, exipred when finally brought up from the well after he had been down about an hour' and a half Thursday morning. Mr. Terrell and Frank had been digging the well for some time, and on Ir.st Wednesday afternoon they had planted a dynamite charge which refused to explode. Hoping that the flames would ignite the charge, they dropped a lot of dry grass and trash, soaked with kero sene oil into the well, and fired It. The charge would not Ignite, and they quit work for the day. Thurs day morning about eight o'clock, without any hesitation Frank went down Into the well, not dreaming that smoke from the debris which they had burned the day before had accumulated in the bottom of the well. He had no more than reach ed the bottom when Mr. Terrell, who was handling the windlass, heard him struecline for breath. Mr. W. T. Hasty, who lives on the place, rani to the well and they shouted to the negro to catch the rope. But It seems that the smoke, or gas had rendered him unconscious, and he was unable to do so. Mr. Hasty threw water down Into the well, hop ing that this would revive Frank, but this too failed. Mr. Terrell went for help, fearing to go down Into the well with only one man to draw him up in case he became unconscious too. Help was secured; and about ten thirty the negro was finally drawn to the top. He expired in a few minutes after being rescued. It is said that Frank was a very weak negro, which probably accounted for the fact that he was easily overcome by the smoke. J OXI.Y 21 YEARS OLD. MdCPHIXE FIE.XD AliOlSt.ll I'lTV OF MANY Injuring His knee While Trying t" Meal a Ride on the Train, IWr Fritz GiMxms Is More IK-nd Than Alive. Broke, and friend!-. Fritz Gib bons, a morphine fiend, by in a little room over the New i-:k Cafe Wed nesday and Thursday suffering with a badly crushed knee, which he In jure! Tuesday niM when he fell from a train on which he was trying to ride. AH day lung he sat on his bed in a dazed stupor v.i!h a bottle of the deadly dope lyinp by hi side. while in his hand ho clutched the little hyperdermic sy rinse that meant so much to him. Realizing that there was no place to give the poor fellow treatment here. Chief T. M. Chrlster.hury se cured him a pair of crutches and sent him to Charlotte this morning, where he can secure medical treat ment at a charity hospital. Only 24 years of r.ge, and possess ing a bright face. Gibbons was to be pitied. His arms and leg bore in numerable scars from the constant in jecting of the syringe into his skin. Some of these scars had broken out into running sores, and it appalled one to look at them. When found by a Journal reporter, he was sitting on the corner of his bed in a stupor. Chief Christenbury, who was with the reporter, shook the poor wreck several times before he managed to awake, but he was so far gone that it required a "shot" from the needle before he could fully com prehend the situation. Without flinching, he stuck the needle into his arm, and as the deadly dope began to take effect, his face brightened. Aided by the stimulating effect of the stuff to which he was a slave, he in coherently told his story. Eight years ago, he said, he was struck over the head with an axe handle. For three months he linger ed between life and death In a hos pital. His skull was fractured, and a silver plate had been placed In his- head In order that he might live, al though it would have been better for him had he died. The doctors fed him morphine during this time, not dreaming, of course, that he would become addicted to the habit. Gibbons stopped long enough to show his questioners a long scar on hU head, which gave credence to hia story. After leaving the hospital, Gibbons stated that his craving for the deadly drug W83 so great that his only desire In life was to keep a constant supply of it on hand at all times. His peo ple, who lived in Atlanta, sent hint to a sanatorium, but he was pro nounced Incurable, he said. Others were tried, six in all, but all sent him away saying he was Incurable. Before long he became afflicted with fits, which Incapacitated him from worklug at any place long. He would get a Job, but he was always fired when the proprietor found out that he was addicted to the drug habit. His last job was in a cigar store in Norfolk, which he managed to keep for four months before he was found out. Since that time he has been roaming over the country, begging for what little he ate, and securing dope from doctors and drug gists out of sympathy. The only way he can be cured, ac cording to his statement. Is to go to Johns Hopkins hospital, where he can have the plate removed that L constantly pressing on hi3 brain. His parents are in destitute circum stances, according to the young man. Only the other day he noticed where their home had been destroyed by the Atlanta fire. He feels a delicacy about informing them of hist condi tion as he feels that he a caused them enough worry alrear'y. The pity of the whole thing is that the poor fellow Is not so much to blame if his story Is true. A boy sixteen years old does not usually just pick up the dope habit, and taking Into consideration the scar om his head, his story must be true. Poor Gibbons Is now Just a mere wreck. He'll not live many more: months. Already his body Is wasted and weak; more dead than alive. A slave to morphine, friendless and homeless, he now represents one of the tragedies of IiTe. If he could only be sent to Johns Hopkins he might be cured, but it is very doubtlul. He has been a slave to the habit, you know, for eight long years.
