I that they sustained heavy casualties,
The evacuated trenches had not been

' been in this encounter that he was

It was nine minutes before three

1 Mr. R. H. Cunningham, the operator
at the Western Union office, received
; the message from Washington ac

' of this fact. The telegram read as
follows:

"(Signed) McCain, the Adjutant
; General."
Mr. McRorie is about 22 years old
! and has been In the army since May,
' 1913. enlisting at Charlotte. From
there he was sent to Columbus, Ohio.
During the trouble on the border he
, was sent to Douglas, Arliona, where
he was stationed for eighteen months.
From there he was sent to New York
and was in the first American con-
tlngent to reach France.
In the telegram he is referred to
as private but It seems that there
must be some mistake In this for In
i a letter to his brother, Mr. C. A. Mc
Rorie (the letter itself was not dated
but on the envelope was the date
Jan. 10), he stated that he had been
recently promoted to the rank of cor
poral. The letter reads as follows:

Another brother of the wounded
man is also In the army and a sear
geant He is probably also la France
as a letter was received the 15th of
January stating that he was then in
England snd would soon be In
France. He enlisted about a year af
ter his brother. May 1914, and was
with Pershing in Mexico, being
member of the company that was at
tacked at Carlsal, Mexico.
Besides the two brothers In the ar
my and Mr. C. A. McRorie of this
place, there are six brothers and sev
en sisters in the family, all well
known. The eldest brother, Mr. W,
C. McRorie, Is one of the most promt
nent lawyers at Rutherfordton, in
this State.
Young McRorie comes from a fight
ing family. His grandfather, the late
"Uncle Billy" McRorie, was one of
the first to volunteer for actual ser
vice In the War Between the States.
He was killed In one of the engage
ments.
Mr. McRorie is also a grandson of
the tote C. Q. Lemmond, who was
veteran of the Mexican war and the
Civil war. He is a nephew of Messrs,

MEXICO'S SYMPATHY FOR
GERMAN CAUSE EXPRESSED
Carranza Sends Birthday Greetings
to Kaiser Couched In Flattering
Terms War Summary.
The complexities of international
politics affecting the great war have
been added to by a virtual expression
of sympathy for Germany. President
Venustiano Carranza sent to Emperor
William a message of congratulation
and good wishes on the occasion of
the Emperor's 57th birthday, which
occurred January 27, according to ad
vices reaching Reuter's Limited from
Copenhagen. The Mexican president's
message was couched in flattering
terms, opening with the phrase: "To
vour nialestv. who celebrates hia .an?
"imrginuT way witn just cause tor
I - - ' ' ... ... " .
rejoicing," and ending with "best
wishes for the prosperity of this
great friendly nation."
As an offset to the friendly con
gratulatlons from Mexico, a neutral
government, toward the enemy of the
entente allies, King George V, In his
speech proroguing parliament Wed
nesday, reiterated the determination
of the democracies of the world to
continue warfare against the quadru
ple alliance until a Just and enduring
peace could be obtained. The king
named this program as Britain's flrBt
aim and endeavor and placed on Ger
many the responsibility for provoking
the war. He also expressed his hope
for a solution of the Irish problem,
which is new evidence from the ruler
that the government Is subordinating
all internal Jealousies and frictions to
the larger task of knitting together
every resource of the empire tor the
carrying on of a successful military
urogram.
The Germans on the western front
are not yet numerically equal to the
French and British forces opposing
them, according to Major General
Frederick B. Maurice, chief dlrectoi
of military operations at the British
war office, notwithstanding Ihe con
tinued movement of German troops
to that war theatre during the last
month. In the opinion of General
Maurice, the situation there at pres
ent Is not one to cause anxiety to the
entente military leaders.
Artillery activity continues on the
British, French, Italian and American
fronts, but aside from this the opera
tions have been confined to patrol and
aerial attacks. The French war of
flee, announced the destruction of 14
enemy airplanes during Feb. 3 and
and three Feb. 5, and Italian bead
Quarters reports the bringing down
of fire hostile machines. Berlin says
that seven enemy airplanes and one
captive balloon were shot down Tues
day.
Entente merchantmen sunk by
mine or submarine during the last
week totaled 19, of which IS were
British, three French and one Italian.
In Finland the white guard, or gov
ernment troops, hare won an Impor
tant victory over the revolutionary
regimes In the taking of Uteaborg, on
the Gulf of Bothnia. This city was
the chief military depot for the Rus
sians In northern Finland and Its loss,
according to military observers,
means that the whole of northern
Finland will soon be In the posses
sion of the government troops.
Marriage of Mr. Frank Houston and
Miss Resale HUrnes.
The marriage of Mr. Walter Frank
Houston and Miss Bessie Aletha
Starnes came as a pleasant surprise
to their many friends when It became
known that they were married at
VanWyck Sunday, February 4th, by
Rev. J. W. Bailey.
The bride Is the bright and attract

REGRET THAT THEY VOTED
AGAINST THE GOOD ROADS
Journal Reporter Interviews Several
Rural Resident, and Finds the
Sentiment Is Strong for Change.
As It Is known, some of the larger
newspapers throughout the nation
take a straw vote of the people Just
before the presidential election comes
oft and thus they are able to make a
fair guess as to who will be the next
president
This is somewhat like a Journal
reporter did Thursday, only he was
taking a vote as to how the farmer
would go If a good roads Issue was
brought up. Ten men from different
parts of the county were Interviewed
in various parts of the city. All ot
these men were In favor of good
roads, but two said that they did not
think it advisable to issue any bonds
for the purpose of making better
roads while the war lasted.
The first gentleman spoken to was
Mr. W. B. Pigg of Buford. He said
that the roads in his community were
bad and that under certain conditions
he would vote for a good roads meas
ure. He was of the opinion that it
will take a good pile of money to put
them in any proper shape.
Mr. W. L. Belk of Monroe town
ship was next asked how he stood In
reference to good roads. He said he
would be willing to vote for a bond
issue.
Following Mr. Belk. Mr. T. E
Prlvett, who lives seven miles from
town, was approached. He said that
he did not think it advisable to issue
bonds while the war was on.
Mr. Eli Hilton was then accosted,
He said that he was in favor of
bond Issue and that after we had
good roads to keep them that way
and not let them run down as some
of the counties were doing.
When Mr. R. B. Starnes of Buford
was asked if he was tired of paying
the mud tax, he replied that he was
In favor of a movement that would
improve the roads by taxation. The
money thus secured to be used in pur
chasing machinery with which the
free labor plan of working the roads
could be made more useful.
I next met Mr. S. S. Stack of Bu
ford, who by the way is out of the
free labor age. Mr. Stack said that
the last time the good roads question
was voted on he voted against It, but
had since regretted this, and would
now vote for a good road Issue It
one came up.
Mr. C. A. Stancil of the Wesley
Chapel community Bald that he would
not mind having good roads, but that
there was a special school tax In his
community, and that he was not In
favor of a movement while the war
lasted.
Mr. J. G. Flncher of the Mt. Pros
pect community said practically the
same thing as Mr. Stack; that he had
voted against it at the last election.
but would now vote for one If It
should be brought up.-
Besides the above named, two gen
tlemen who would not give their
names were interviewed. They said
that they were in favor ot good roads
under certain conditions.
Does this mean that the time Is
ripe for the good road movement?
Commissioner Nlven Claims Heating
Adequate.
County Commissioner J. M. Nlven,
In a statement to The Journal, char
acterizes the Grand Jury's recommen
dations relative to heating conditions
at the county home misleading. Ac
cording to him, precautions were
made last summer to provide heat for
the Inmates during cold weather, and
chimneys were built. His statement
follows:
'I note with interest the grand
Jury's recent recommendations to the
Judge of criminal court. I regard
all their recommendations pertaining
to tie county home meritorious ex
cept as to the heating plant, which I
regard as misleading. It Is true that
this plant was out of commission at
the time the grand Jury made their
Inspection, but this condition was due
to a bursting up from the severe
freeze which we recently had. It
there Is any steam heating system
that will not freeie up during
such severe weather as we have
recently when the heat Is al
lowed to go down tn It, I am sorry
our grand Jury did not recommend
such a plant to the commissioners.
The heating plant at the county home
had recently been overhauled and re
paired at considerable expense and
after these repairs had been made
the commissioners had the report of
the keeper ot the home that the heat
ing plant was doing altogether satis
factory service and was giving no
trouble. However, the past fall, with
an abundance ot precaution and
knowing full well the importance of
ample heating facilities for the aged
and infirm, they went to work and
built chimneys and had open fire
places installed In the home for both
white and colored to meet Just such
an emergency as has occurred.
under the circumstances I feel
that It Is unjust criticism to place, not
only upon the present board, but our
worthy predecessors as well, to say
that the heating arrangements are In
adequate. As soon as the damage by
the freeae was done steps were Im
mediately taken to make the needed
repairs."
Twenty German alrpJanes which
endeavored to cross the American
lines Wednesday were violently shell
ed by the anti-aircraft batteries and
driven off.

No Heatles Day Monday.
On Instructions from Washing-

McAllister has decreed that next
Monday need not be observel as
heatlett day. His instructions
were: .
"In view of improved weather
and transportation conditions, all
provisions of regulation of Janu-
ary 17. 1918. except sections 1
and 10 are hereby suspended In
so far as they relate to the fol-
lowing states: North Carolina,
Tennessee, South Carolina. Geor-
gia, Florida, Alabama. Mississip-
pi and Louisiana."
(Note Section 1 provides that
fuel dealers must give prefcence
to railroads, domestic consumers,
etc., in making coal and wood
Bales. Section 2 provides that
a violator of the order is liable
to fine or Imprisonment. Thus,
Monroe stores may open Monday
as usual. The Journal.)
Prof. Nlsbet Calls Off Annual County
commencement.
Annual county commencement day
has been an occasion Joyfully looked
forward to for years by the school
children, but Prof. Nlsbet has called
It off this year on account of war
conditions, and the decreased school
attendance caused by sickness and
bad weather. In a public statement,
he says:
"Owing to unusual conditions
brought about by the war, and
the extremely unfavorable winter
through which we are passing which
has hindered not only the school
work but almost every other business
as well, we have thought best not to
have our usual county commence
ment. On account of the bad weath
er the attendance has not been nor
mal, and there is no assurance that
there will be any great change as to
weather conditions In the next two
or three weeks. Therefore the op
portunity for the county schools to
make preparations Is not good. Again
in many cases valuable time has been
lost by individual students which is
greatly needed now In getting off the
work of the year, and anything which
would hinder this, unless more im-
nnrtant wnnM Ha hurtful Dn.,
r " .- u u . u vw ..U. ..U.I VUVWI,
more. at. the. time of theWlng of
the schools is a very busy time with
the farmer and this year this fact
will be doubly true, as extra efforts
on account of the war are expected.
Every available means to this end
will be utilized to meet the urgent
needs ot the times. Boys and girls,
too, possibly will have to go to the
fields and help tn the production of
corn and cotton
"We don't like to leave off the
county commencement because we be
lieve In it, but we trust before an
other year has passed conditions will
be different, and we will be able to
take it up again."
Red Cross Membership Campaign.
To the Editor of The Journal:
In response to President Wilson's
proclamation before Christmas our
country "went over the top" and did
another big thing in the war by ad
ding millions of names to the five
million already enlisted in the Red
Cross. But somehow we didn't get
to our work here ct the appointed
time. Next Friday and Saturday, the
15th and 16th, have been designated
as days in which to put on our cam
paign here.
Every true American must want
to help win this war. The Red Cross
stands as the first aid to our govern
ment. Our President is also Presi
dent of the Red Cross; our army
works with the Red Cross: our con
gress has recognized the Red Cross
as the only relief organization that
receives its special protection and can
render it special aid.
The membership fee Is fixed at the
nominal figure of $1, so small that
the assurance of the officials "that
It 4s not the dollar membership fee
which counts so much in this cam
paign as the moral support of fifteen
million men and women scattered
over the length and breadth of the
land," Is hardly needed.
We will have booths at the busy
centers up town with competent wo
men to solicit your membership and
we shall expect every one to Join. No
field service required, simply your
membership and nothing else.
For humanity a sake Join now!

Dealers Must Have License.
Raleigh, Feb. 7. On and after
February IS, no manufacturer or
dealer will be permitted to trade In
concentrated and mixed feeding stufts
without a license from the United
States Food Administration, accord
ing to the Presidential proclamation
of January 10. It Is believed that
the hoarding of commercial stock
foods and of hay by the very small
percentage of unfair manufacturers
and dealers will be stopped by plac
ing the entire industry under li
cense control.
The proportion of manufacturers
and dealers who have applied for li
cense since the President's proclama
tion does not measure up to expecta
tion. Failure to secure license by
February 15 may be punished by a
fine not to exceed $5,000, by Impris
onment for not more than one year,
or both fine and Imprisonment.
