W S S SOUTHERN BELL Asking for an Increase of Rates in a Number of Towns Including Salis bury. Raleigh, May 28.The Southern Bell, bucking 14 plaices in North Car olina on an increase in telephone rates, spent the da"y with the corpora tion commission which heard as much conversation today as any system ever took over its lines in a day. In Charlotte and Asheville the Bell desires to heft rates from $4 to $5 on business and 50 cents on other service Greensboro, Winston-tSalem, Raleigh, Wilmington iand some other towns, would get the same service for $4.50 In otlher cities which have a business rate of $3 the service would cost $3.50 and iprivate instruments would go up from 25 to 50. The lawyers, the boards of trade and the city officials of the several municipalities have been fighting the Bell to an everlasting conclusion. The corporation, which cannot be expected to take all the prizes in .a" popularity contest, nevertheless has some of the most lady-like representatives wiho can make as pauper-like a mouth as ever was put up 'by mortal.

ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY- FOUR VOTES FOR MEASURE Friends" of the Special Tax Work ed Hard to Win and Deserve Great Credit. (By A. W. HICKS) Spencer, May 28. With 194 votes for the special school tax and $3 votes against the measure Spencer voters on Tuesday authorized an additional levy of 20 cents on the $100 prqperty valuation and 60 cents on the poll for school purposes. In this the town did itself proud, the election having been one of the most spirited ever held in Spencer. From early morning until the polls closed at sundown many of the leading Democrats, Republicans, Prohibitionists and Socialists tugged shoulder to shoulder in the interest of improved schools, in the school room. At th elast hour a number of leading citizens who had taken but little in terest in the matter fell into the fight and rolled up a big vote for the pro posed tax, a measure which had al ready received the endorsement of. the town officials, school board,, State of ficials and many others who realized that the time has come for Spencer to move forward in the matter of im proved, and enlarged school facilities. So determined to vote for the tax were some of the road men that they refused to go out on their runs and j remained on the yards or at the polls , from 1 a. m. Tuesday morning until the voting began seven hours later. Otihelr ,rbad men exchanged tuns in ortleWto be,:fcefe' to vote; while- still others .caught ab the other end of the' ro&cfijixlshed hbme 'oU' fast' .trains to voNryanS work for the 'cause. Among those who worked hard for the tax wetei C. Li. Bunch, chairman of the scjiool board; Postmaster W. D. Pe thj2,;.Mayor W. H. Burton, Capt, T. J. ;Rsenaond, Capt. &"'H;.CfqsneVt- S.: F Harrsn'Pxof . J. E. " Redfern, ,P. "Stouil-imi'rej-'AHerman B. LV, Young,' C. "T. Garyi , JSagiheer' Jake. Grossman, and numbers of others.' The judges were Messrs. J. P. Crowell and 5. S. Black well with J. R. Cruse registrar. The best of feeling prevailed throughout the day. There was no great rejoicing when the final final count was made late Tuesday night. It was a glad day for Spencer. The supporters of the school tax belong to the progressive element in the community, men who have the interest of the town and the school at heart and realize that the best asset for Spencer is a good school. In voting the special tax, wheh is the limit of the law for the purpose, Spencer has lined up with other progressive towns and cities in the state. ( . There was of course some opposi tion to the measure for otherwise it would hardly have been an election. One man who refused to vote for the measure -declared that he could not conscientiously assume additional obligations. When askecL what amount of taxes he pays he declared with much emphasis that he pays 50 cents in Spencer and 50 cents to the state and county, being tod old to pay poll tax. Another man who has eight children in school, which cost the town $10.48 each last year, pays tax on art estimated value of $800 and Worked against the measure.

HUNS, APPARENTLY, BEING HELD IN CHECK IN CENTER Bringing of Soissons in Battle Area Indicates Weight of Ger- man Blow Has Shifted Front. (By Associated Press.) There Ihas; been no let mp as yat in the German drive south from the Aisne and both French and British j Flanders east of Roibecq, the war of fotfees are giving further ground. "Con- j fiCe announces. 'The enemy has made fidence is expressed in Paris that the some local successes east of Arras allied reserves now raroidlv cominer up . will shortly turn the scale and stop the enemy's advance. 'Apparently the Germans alre&dy are being held in tJhe center of their advance along the Vesle river in the ivicinity of Fisnes wlhere the point of the German wedge has been thrust. The pressure on both the allied flanks, however, has ibeen such that both have been compelled to fall back. On the west the Frendh lines have been withdrawn to the easterly out- j skirts of iSoissans wSiich town is about seven miles south of the nearest point of the (battle line as it existed before the drive was begun- Monday. This considerably broadens to tne west the front on which the enemy is advanc ing On the east the Franco-Belgian line (has Deen nulled back from St. Ehierry northwest of Rheims where it rested yesterday, to the (heights south and southeast of that town. This also has the effect of widening out the flank of the enemy thrust. The bringing of Soissons in the bat tle area indicates tlliat the weight of the German blow has shifted in 'this southwest direction and is being ex erted along the railway that leads to Paris from that town. The possibil ity that the trend of the enemy push being turned in this direction has been forecast by commentators. . The Americans west of .Montdidier, have further proved their worth by resisting another German counter at tack on new positions won by the Am ericans yesterday when they drove into a depth of nearly a mile and cap tured the village of Cantigny. The Germans were repulsed in their second effort as in the first and suffered very heavy losses. The German attack across the Ainse acDarently is slowing down' as the Franco-British troops begin counter attacks on the wings and the French reserves are rushing in to stem the enemy onslaught in the center where it reached Vesle river. Around the Fismes, half way be tween Soissons and Rheims, the center of important allied communication, a desperate battle is being fought. Berlin also claims the Germans have crossed the Vesle on either side of Fiesmes but the French are still in the town, holding it stubbornly while re serves comes up. On the right northwest of Rheims the British are maintaining a complete position on Massis east of St. Thierry and north and west of the town. I French troops on the left have stop ped the German onrushes by strong counter attacks and are holding firmly to high points of Neiville-fur-Margival and Vregny north of the j Ainse and the height between Viry- sal-Soogne and Vasseny which dom inates Vesle. Heavy fighting continues all along the front from south of Pinon to al most north of Rheims. Overyhelming numbers enabled the Germans in the first attack to penetrate the allied lines to beyond the Ainse and capture more than half a score of villages and 15, 000 prisoners. The greatest advance was made in the center, four miles to the Ainse and then six miles to the Vesle, a total of ten miles. As in the offensive in Picardy and Flanders the 1 enemy advance has as sumed the form ,of a blunt nosed wedge with its apex back, some three mile wide, lying between Bazoches and Fisnes. French Troops Fall Back at Soissons. Paris, May 29. French troops have fallen back to the east of the optskirts of Soissons where the battle continues with bitterness, the French war office announced this afternoon.
