The patience with which the British people await news from their army Is as remark able as it is unexpected. They know the British troops have been engag ed for a week in a terrible battle the culmination of the fighting hwich has gone on with two or three brief respites since August 23. They know the little British army has held -the post of the hardest fighting through out and that the next roll of casual ties will be heavy. Yet they appear to recognize that exorable military service necessarily imposes upon them these days of suspense, and from the newspapers and the public little complaint Is heard. The last official report revealing any details of the British operations was published Thursday night. That report was not long and dealt for the most part with scattered Incidents of Field Marshal Sir John French's advance against the German right wing. It dropped the curtain upon the events of September 14 The later official reports have been terse bulletins, which enabled the newspapers only to draw fresh lines on their maps showing the progress of the battle front. These bulletins merely have announced accomplished moves In the war tone, like cable re ports of an International chess match. xne government naB maae me country understand that the require ments of secrecy overshadows all oth er considerations. - The part that British officers are playing is Illustrated by the bare tes timony of the casualty lists. Seven hundred and ninety-seven officers are among the killed, wounded and miss ing, which is a percentage out of an proportion to tne losses in tne ranks. One hundred and - thirty officers have been killed, 388 have been wounded and 279 are missing. Many of the missing probably musf later be recorded as killed or wounded. The Coldstream Guards regiment holds the place of honor, with thirty one casualties among its officer-corps . The King's Royal Rifles and the Suffolk regiment each have had 25 officers killed or wounded; the Gor don Highlanders 2S: the Munster Fusiliers 21; -Cameron, Highlanders and Cheshire regiment each 19.

HAS BEEN OBSERVED IN OTHER PARTS OF STATE Have you seen the comet? To day a few New Bern nlg.it. hawks are tell:rg their acquaintances thfit this morning about four o'clock they saw In the sky to the northeast a comet with a tail variously estimat ed at from a foot to a yard long. Comets are among the most un canny things in the universe. It is said that every great ' war has it own particular comet, and ancient pictures show how a gigantic one blazed oyer England ' a thousand years ago at the time of the Invasion of William. the Conqueror, To Southern negroes comets seem to suggest the end of . the world and astronomers say that this sur mise as to the form of ultimate de struction may be correct as nothing but chance keeps the earth from colliding with one of these vmysteri- ous visitors which sail Into our solar system from nobody knows where. . If the observation of the present stranger in the skies had been Con fined to a few New Bern night-hawks coming In at four in the morning. the impulse might be to explain the whole matter by some gay birds drowning their sorrow at the thought of Virginia's going dry to day. But this morning reports as to .' the comet are coming in from far -and wide.' It has been observed in ' Wilmington .and elsewhere In the -state. One observer writes the Ral eigh NewB and Observer that he guesses "the astronomers are asleep."': Finally, comes a news dispatch from an astronomical observatory at Capetown, Africa, which says: "A V bright comeW which was discovered : ;.' , by, the Cap observatorV; last Friday' night, Is now visible to' the naked eye. It is near the star Achernar."' No representative of The Sun has seen the comet, ' but the evidence-, such as it is, is submitted to its read ers. The curious are advised to get up at four o'clock in the morning and take a look for themselves. Stolen From Mrs. Henry , M. , Flagler at Asheville- No; Arrests. Ashevllle, Sept, 22.
