Proofs re moving any doubts that Loaina and Troizky, tha Bolsheviki leaders, are pail German agents if indeed any doubts remain are laid before the world todty by the United States gov ernment in the first instalment of an amazing series of official documents disclosed through the committee on public information. Secured in Russia by American agents, these documents not only show how the German government, through its imperial bank, paid its gold to Lenine, Troizky and their immediate associates to betray Russia into de serting her allies, but give additional proofs, if any be necessary, that Ger many had perfected her plans for a war of world conquest, long before the as sassinations at Sarevej ), conveniently furnished her pretext. The documents further show that before the world war was four months old, and more than two years before tha United States entered it, Germany already was setting afoot her plans to servers to cause explosions, strikes and outrages in this country and planned the employment of anarchists and escaped criminals" for the pur pose. The former Empress of Russia and her four daughters have been murder ed by the Bolsheviki, according to a report published in the London Daily Express, which asserts that it has re ceived this information from a source that cannot be doubted. The whole immediate family of the late czar has thus been exterminated. Miss Bernice Ulrich has returned from a two-weeks viit at Norfolk, Va. LETTERS FROM ROBERT KYLE m EARL DAVIS IK FRANCE Following is a letter to Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Kyle, N. Wilksboro, R. F. D. 1, from thoir son in France; Tuesday Eve. August IS, 1918. Truck Co. No. 1. 1st Corps Artillery Park. America K. F. Dear Mother: I will take the great est of pleasure in answering your letter received a day or so ago. Sure was glad to hear from you and to know that every body was well aud having a good time. This leaves me well and enjoying health first grade. I won der what eveiybody is doing back home, having a nice time I suppose? Say I guess there are lots of peaches ripe now; this is a fine fruit country but most every thing is grapes; there are not very many apples and peaches. If there is I haven't seen them ha! How does the corn look this year? Fine I guess; you don't see very much over here. Their principal crop ij wheat. What is Claude and Mabel doing since they came home? Guess they are as mean as ever. Write and tell me all the news. So I will close. Your son, Robert. The cards presented familiar scenes to me, both of them, and there are two other boys in the band who have been there quite a lot and they both enjoyed the tannery scene their names are Huff and Jones. Huff married Miss Clements who uso to teach there. Jones visited the Pearsons at the tan nery. I saw a Wilkes Patriot today and 1 enjoyed reading it very much also and I noticed that political bees had be gun to swarm. We are getting along fine so far, and I had a letter from Bili a few days aso; he is getting along all right too. 1 have no idea where he is, ex cept he is on the front. Wc have been on several bikes late ly and seen a lot of beautiful France, and you can easily see the what a hard time the people are having. While going through one town we passed a funeral procession; in front was a woman carrying the cross and six other women were pall bearers and there was not a single man in the crowd and you never see any young men, only women and children and old men. There are lots of Chinamen here working on the roads, etc., also German prisoners (beating up rocks) making roads for the Americans to march over. The Hun is no match for the American, I have cot been on the front yet but guess we will be there soon, and I have not been to Paris either but have been to several large French cit ies and our band has played several concerts at them. Where we have been there is a lot of the Belgians who have lost their homes and come into France for safe tymany children they seera to be a fine people. One of the boys in the band speaks their language and sev eral of them come to see us often. Welborn I haven't time to write you an interesting letter but some thing to show you that I appreciate your writing. One does not know how to appreciate mail till he gets "over here." I'm enclosing you a pic ture of the band; hope it will reach you ail-OK. With lots of love to each and all, your cousin, Mus. Eaul M, Davip, Hdq. Co. 113 F. A. American E. F. Fieeing from a Virginia County Yesterday. Newswa9 received here yesterday of a serious affair which took place in Grayson county, Va. A physician of that county is alleged to have mur dered a young man and fled in this direction. The sheriff of Grayson ar rived hero last evening a few hours after two men thought to have been Dr. Pugh and son In an automobile. INTEREST CENTERS AT PRES ENT ON AIL ETTE-AISNT FRONT Marshal Foch pursuing his policy of giving the Germans never a minute's rest, followed up by the incisive stroke of the Americans, which wiped out the St. Mihiel salient in two days' time by launching an offensive Saturday morning on the French front along the bend in the line around Loan. The blow took immediate etfeet on the German liiu'?, pushing them back from ono to two miles at points in this important sector, where it is well nigh vital for the Germans to bold fast if they hope to retain control of any considerable part of northern France daring the coming winter. Meanwhile the process of cleaning up the St. Mihiel salient was being continued by General Pershing's troops, who so far are reported to have effective the capture of more than 20,000 Germans as the result of the clean cut drive of the American first army. (irraians in Retreat. There were indications in the re ports from the front that the Ameri can success might have done some what more than straighten out the line above the former St. Mihiel bend, for the Germans were said to be re tiring near Chatillon, along a front five or six miles to the northwest of the formerly westerly lip of the sail ent. They were probably forced to this in the readjustment of their line to meet tlie allied conditions. With the lessening of the tension on the St. Mihiel front, interest is cen tered at present in the French assault on the Ailette Aisne front. Genera! Petain's troops here were gaining ground where every yard was ex tremely valuable, as the German posi tions along the Aime and the Vesle to the east, have been under an in creasing threat for sometime by the French advance on their left flank The advance will not have to be p'essed much further before a Gr man retreat on a wide front in thit sector will be compelled.

Elling ton, R F. D. 2, Pittsboro. Modification Regarding Wheat Fluor. The modification of the rules re garding the sale of wheat flour seems to be misunderstood by a great many of our people. The voluntary ration of six pounds of wheat Hour per person per month is still effective. Household consum ers are expected to confine their con sumption of wheat flour to this figure and, under the new conservation of the Food Administration, to mix with all Hour used for baking bread, bis cuits, cakes or other products 20 per cent of corn flour, corn meal or other cereal substitutes. The 50 50 rule was changed not to increase the con sumption of flour, but to give the patriotic (houaewife greater latitude and discretion in the use of flour. J. R. Hix Wilkes County Food Administrator. Mrs. Lottie Guthrie, of Salisbury, who has been visiting Mr. and Mrs. J. H.

General Pershing's forces in their attack on the southern side of the St. Mihiel salient bare advanced for a dist ance of eight miles. The assault was made on a front of 14 miles. The Americans this morning were making rapid progress in their contin uation of their drive. German prisoners say the American attack was expected, but that it was delivered so rapidly that they had do time to put up a stubborn resistance when they were ordered to. Pannes, which was energetically defended by the Germans, was easily captured by the Americans. The Germans are blowing up the am munition dumps at Hattonville and Domboux. General Pershing's troops so far have captured 9,500 prisoners and have taken sixty German guns. On the west side of the St. Mihiel salient, where the country is much more difficult and the German resist ance has been more determined, the Americans have made an advance of three miles on a twelve-mile front. The Americans are reported to have captured Vigneuvilles, seven and one half miles north of Xivray, thru which the former ran. General Pershing's troops also are said to have captured Beney, Heud- icourt and the Hois de Tmaucourt. Arthur Ernest Spainhour 41 TEARS OLD.
