On the western end . of the battle line the French hare counter attacked and regained important ground, while on the center and rtgbt, repeated efforts by .the enemy to exploit his earlier successes, have been met with atern resistance by the French, who claim tnat the Germans', are betnir held. At the moment when the plunge of the foe west of the Oise appeared to have met with a reverse, the front to tne southeast between the Aisne and the Marne has again flatted un. Strlk. lug the allied line southwest of Sols sons In the neighborhood of Dommiers : cutry and south of Ambleny. the Ger mans have begun what may be a very serious threat to the security of the , anies nortn to the Oise. . The attack would seem for the moment to be al most equal iu Importance to that east of Montdidler, . It appears to be an effort on the part of the enemy to cut in south of Compelgne forest, out- , flanking the French to the north, and compelling their retirement aud re- location of the whole allied line from Montdidler to Chateau Thierry ., Except for fact that heavy fighting is In progress nothing is known' of , the events on tlilsjiew battle area, but the struggle there will be watched with some concern until the magnitude of the German thrust is developed.

The conditions that now exist in this city are nothing new It Is simply a case of the "Hog-returning to his wal low. The new thing that I am trying to impress is that the Ministerial As sociation and ail right thinking laymen should Join hands at once and back the Chief of Police, Police Justice and City attorney in la w( enforcement aud when this is done the professional street slackers, ' liquor sellers, and others of like kind, will take to the "bushes" without the aid of Federal Assistance,, and they will never do so until the churches and the manhood of Concord shall act in fact.' and show the powers that be that their sentiments re not hypocritical. . I am writine this Without the least' feeling toward any Individual and so far as I am concerned the past is buried but as a citlsen I will hesitate a long time about calling for aid from the Federal Authorities until we shall put forth the necessary efforts .ourselves. To do otherwise reminds me of the In- dividual that about the first of March would pray for a bountiful crop and then fish and snipe hunt until the first of July., The point is that' I do not thing the I-ord or Federal Authorities can do much for the city or -individual ho will not first put forth the neces sary effort. . , T.

Af ter a close study of North Carolina conditions and affairs at State Head- quanrtera, only one thing can happen aa a result of the drive, they say, and that is that North Carolina will not only go "over tne top" on that day. out will go over overwhelmingly. These visitors wbo are sent out bv the National War Savings Committee at Washington express themselves as being highly pleased with the uroDer- lty of the Sooth, particularly that of North Carolina and with the evident signs that . the South will have no trouble In raising her full quota of pledges by June 28, and likewise, ber sales by December 81. Mr. Palmer is the man who has out Nebraska on the map as the first State to go "over the top" In War Savings. This It did as early as March 23 by over X4,000,000 in pledges. Mr. Pal mer explains not only how Nebraska was able to do this but bow she has been able to report the sale of a mil lion dollars of War Savings Stamps every week since that time. Today she has sold several thousand dollars of Stamps over her quota. And be says. the . people are not satisfied to stop buying Stamps. The Indications are now that she will double her quota It is the plan by which Nebraska has worked to such effective results that North Carolina and all other States of the Union has adopted In their War Savings drive this month. The plan has met the approval of not only of the President of the United States, but also of the Governor of North Carolina. Both of these execu tive officers have issued proclamations calling on all the people to observe War Savings Week by pledging to buy as many War Savings Stamps as he will be able to pay for the remainder of the year. Mr. Thorson says that he has found no State , with a better organisation and one more keenly alive to the needs of ,the drive than North Caro lina. He emphasises the fact that the Government has Issued Its .orders an no state has any other alternative but to comply. SERVICE FLAG TO BE , PRESENTED BY W. O. ,W.
