' The reports, both from German and
Allied sources would tend to indicate
that Germany had suffered at leant
temporary reverseson, both her war
aones. The Allies claim that vary
decided advantages have been gained
and the Germans, while disputing
that any general retreats have been
ordered, admit that "for strategical
reasons" their troops have had to
abandon certain positions. It has
been very clearly njiown that the
French soldier in abot as good as
they make 'em; the Ruaslan, close at
home, ia a much better fighter than
the Japanese thought him to be; there
is certainty no discount on the brav
ery and ability of the Belgian and
the English and .German aoldiers
have sustained their reputations for
courage. There la no disparagement
of the fighting boy a. and as far at
they are concerned the, light could be
called a draw without injustice to
any.

says that the daily papers haven't
published the returns and that he has
had to go down in his pocket to get
them. He includes Lenoir as one of
the counties from which no report has
been made. In this connection let it
be known that The Frew Press pub
lihhed the unofficial figures, including
all but a small township, in its Wed

in some localities, the big industrial

that their miners did not lay out three

H. Gait Braxton, it largely responsi

Daily press dispatches are taken
and a force of ready correspondents
will represent it in the centers which
may be of interest and concern to the

We congratulate Editor Braxton

in giving to Kinston and tho State of
