We knew that he is ;n tie transport service and that he has crossed the sea with troop ships several times, and it was unite natural for us to ask him if he had taken any North Carolina t-oops across.

BRITT, Foreman. a Ma rmm . i Him, 1 1 MgSSS aj?ni rmnwi rp""I Vi"w' BRILLIANT J CAROLINA WEDNESDAY, GAINS Hindenburg Has Made the Mosl xjrtimv; oaciince in Military History During the Past Twelve Weeks to Win Was- and Has Failed Germany Must Prosecute the Campaign Against the West- ijuiv ana isreak Through -Some Point or Stand Defeated. at The belief exists in Paris and London that the Germans have been driven to abandoment of the present line cf endeavor in tiie directiion of that citv but at the same time the indica tions are that the drive will be .renewed with troops specially massed for the purpose and that the main assault is yet to come. In the five day's fighting Germany is known to have thrown eighty divisions against the Allied lines and these divis ions have been frightfully deci mated. Two-thirds of the Ger man reserves have been used in the assaults, so that her reserve strength has been materially weakened, but Germany still has an enormous Army for the work. Unlike previous drives the present operation has re sulted in a negligible gain in ground, while the price paid was the greatest exacted snipe the beginning of the war. There is but one known fact in the war situation, and that is, Germany must break through or be broken. As Ger many has not been able to ac complish that task by the great est efforts so far made, we may accept it as a fact that what is commonly referred to as the "supreme effort" is yet to come at some point on the west front. General FOch has inflicted on von Hindenburg the most serious Ger man defeat of the year. ; The GerT man general staff has checked von Hindenburg's infuriated sacrifice of German power for futile territorial gains, and the fourth German of fensive has come to a dead stop. Nothing has passed into German possession that is not well worth the death toll exacted in advance. Von Hindneburg stands baffled north cf Compiegne. A Million Strong. No explanation can conceal from the Germans at home the fact that Compiegne was the principal objec tive of von Hindenburg's foruth of fensive and that Compienge still remains in General Foch's hands. The weakness of the latest German drive cannot faii doubly to impress the German populace, at a time when the German government no longer is able to conceal the fact that a million Amercian soldiers are ready in France. Will Become Restive. -If von Hindenburg does not at tempt a fifth offensive, the central empires will become seriously res tive under their military dictator ship, but every rule of prudence and high strategy calls for the conserva tion of the German reserves m the face of America's forthcoming ma jor offensive. Gigantic sacrinces. vr,n -mntfemhur.g has made the most gigantic sacrifice in hiRt.nvv during the past military twelve has fail he con we a rs Tn win iuh -RTr nn nossibility can - . - , , r- -i tinue this own men bloodly siaugnter oi m& much longer. If he or ders still another sacrmce or vxei man man-power on the scale of the preceding ones, he will have thorwn prudence to the winds m a blind, rage of despair. Master of the Situation. General Foch is the master of the situation, as it stands today. Gen eral Foch's strategy of saving the Americans for a later offensive has been indicated. The allies may well be optimistic. r . on A crack division, of the Prussian Guard, while en route to me rt;cii - -fill nn was recauea auu ir, tno resworn of Bus- siares, unaer tne . oruerss iu vu the Americans from "oDtaimng a serious success if TTAR earnea nuiu prisoners.

Recently the executive committee of the Flat River Association held a meeting in Oxford to consider n change of place for the holding of the next session. In response to a hearty invitation from the Oxford Baptist church it was - unanimously decided to hold the next session with the Oxford church which will convene on July 17th and 18th. is understood that only pastors It and and delegates to the Association several visiting representatives of tne several objects of the church may expect entertainment in the homes of the Oxford people. Last year the Association met with the Olive Branch church, which is only six miles from Virgilina. Florence Avenue, the church at Vir filina, very graciously invited the Association to hold its next session with that church, which invitation was accepted, there being no other invitation. It has been thought by many that logically the Association should be held in a different section, especially as Florence Avenue church entertained the Association just five years ago, and as it was considered rather an abuse of good hospitality of the peonle the of virgnma to hold such frequent sions in the community. It therefore unanimously decided ii. . . . . ses was by uie executive committee to accept the invitation of the Oxford church. C. D. RAY, Moderator, E. G. USRY, Clerk. FINE COLORED SOLDIER. Hardy Bridges, Former Court House Janitor. Hardy Bridges, colored, of the 11th Co. 3rd Tr. Battalion, 156 De pot Brigade, Camp Jackson, S. C, was at home -last ' Saturday and Sunday, and we were glad to see the former court house janitor. He makes a good appearance in regu lation uniform. Hardy says that there are 12. com panies of two hundred and fity. each of colored troops at Camp Jackson. Of the sixteen sent with him April 29, 1918, only three remain at Camp Jackson, himself, Johnnie nie Hunt and Henry Jordan, the others having been transferred to other camps. In command of his company . is 1st Lieutenant R. B. Allien, an old Horner boy, and, ac cording to Hardy, his commander is the best men living, naturally so in his estimation, for he is acting ordly to him, and Hardy is the only man of the group leaving with him who has been given a furlough. Hardy returned Monday on the noon train over the Seaboard, leav ing as he said, happy to return and do his part in the winning of this war. According to his report, all of the colored boys are getting on finely, are treated well by their commanding officers and enthusias tic about their work. "THE DISCIPLE." William S. Hart's Powerful Play at the Orpheum. "The Disciple," written by S. McCormick and Thomas H. Ince, will be presented as one of the big features at the Orpheum next Thurs- day night.

A western plot that holds the in terest of sepctators tensely from beginning to the close characteriz es this story. A frontier mission ary play, showing a western village and the crucifixion and leaving noth ing to be desired. The storm scenes are realistic to a degree. DISTINGUISHED MINSITER HERE Rev.
