Mr. Roy R. .Little, Recently Return ed from the Trenches, Talks In terestingly of the War. .The Gazette last week noted brief ly the return of Mr. Roy R. Little from France and his marriage in Charlotte soon after his return. Mr. Little is a Gaston man, a son of Mr. John Little, of Dallas. Hence the following sent out from Charlotte under date of July 31st will be of interest to Gazette readers: Limping from a wound received In an engagement somewhere in France, with a bronze badge on his breast that gave evidence of his service in tbe Thirty-eighth Canadian Infantry. ith braid on his left coat sleeve design and arrangement that rks nonoraDie aiacnarge irom me army, Roy R. Little, of Charlotte, walked Into the office of Probate Judge L. R. Williams this morning and made application lor the scrap of paper that would enable him to take Miss Pearl Goodman, a young Charlotte girl who blushingly stood by his side, as his partner for lire. After tha Hrpnsft had haen secured vind the marriage ceremony perform Vdby Judge Williams, . Mr. Little consented briefly to outline his war record. "I can't tell you all I iwould like," said Mr. Little, "for 1 ight inad- i vertently disclose something that might give aid or comfort to the en emy. The United States is full or spies who keep the Germans in close touch with affairs over here." He enlisted in the Thirty-eigh ta Canadian Battalion two and one half years ago. After being station ed in the West Indies for bout ten months his command was sent to I France, where he saw active service on the firing line. " He participated in numerous engagements, finally suffering a bullet wound above the left knee that Incapacitated him for lurtber service. He was taken a cross the channel, where he was a patient in a military hospital Tor eight months. He was discharged from the army July 5 and reached Charlotto July 23. "Yes, the fighting over there is pretty fierce," said Mr. Little when asked about conditions on the battle front. The strongest feature of the German army is its artillery. The equipment in this line is splendid and is aWy manned. Are they good fighters? Yes, when a little distance intervenes between them and the En glish but not when they come to close quarters. We have learned that they simply can't stand cold steel and we give theta thf bayonet every opportunity that presents it self. After their artillery had been silenced I have seen Canadian troops take positions held by several times their number of Germans. Stick 'em with cold steel and they will squeal for quarter every time. So well do the English know-it that they welcome every opportunity to go after them with the bayonet. "What about the tanks, are they as effective as Is claimed?" "In dry weather they are all right but when It's wet they don't count much. They can't make It In the mud and there's lota of mud over there. Maybe it is cansed by the al most Incessant artillery firing, I don't know about that part, but. any way it rains every day or two. In dry weather a tank goes over every thing or through anything. If one would strike this court house It would go through and come iput on the other aide. How would ft man age to do It? You'll have to go over to France and see them In action. Yes, aerial fighting Is on the increase and the Allies have it on the Ger mans In this line. I have not been gassed yet, If I bad, the chances are I wouldn't be here." Interrogated as to the morale of the Tnglish arm. Mr. Little said It was splendid. "They know Germany Is In for a Ucklng," he declared, "but It's a tough Job'and.will take a long time. . ..- ; A CARD OF THANKS. We wlah to thank our neighbors and friends, and especially Mr. Ar thur, Dixon, for the kind assistance and help In behalf of our son Bennle, who was taken away so suddenly. B. F. BRIGGS AND FAMILY.

J Todd's Bakery la moving thia week into the handsome new building erected especially for its use on East Air Line avenue a few doors east of Its former location.

A reward of 1500 has been offer ed by the Southern: Railway Compa ny for the arrest and conviction of tbe spikes near Hnntersvllle July 17. . t v.- n LU'ENT... It's quite likely that tbe directors of the Red Cross work room are won dering If the women of Gastonla will have to be drafted into service. Only a few remain faithful to the privi lege and opportunity presented by the open door and tbe sign of tbe Red Cross. While we are learning food con servation and economy along other lines it might be well for us to study time economy also, to so arrange and simplify our home duties that more time and thought may be given to this most Important outside work. And, after all, Is Red Cross work "outside work?" Surely it touches our homes and firesides in a very In timate way. Work rooms have been opened in several auxiliary chapters. To those chapters which do not have regularly established work rooms will be as signed the work of making the vari ous garments needed. In the Lucia chapter the members contributed fresh fruits and 'vegeta bles at stated times from their gar dens. These vegetables and fruits are sold by the little boys of the town and the money thus raised is given to the Red Cross work. Considering the number of flourishing gardens and restless little boys in Gastonla. this plan might well be, adopted and operated on a rather broad scale. Surely any little boy would enjoy selling nice fresh vegetables from a wagon bearing the Red Cross symbol. Mrs. Robert Jackson, of Clover, visited the work room Tuesday after noon. She represented the Clover Red Cross chapter and wished to ob tain information regarding the work and to get new ideas that would be helpful to hsr chapter. The Philalhea Class of Main Street Methodist church, of which class Miss Lillian Atkins Is president, spent Tuesday evening in the work room. Beginning with Tuesday of this week the Cozy Theatre, of which Mr. James Estridge is proprietor, will give 30 per cent of the receipts ffor the first Tuesday in each month to the Red Cross. The Ideal Theatre will also give 30 per cent of one day's receipts eacti month to the Red Cross, but as yet It is not known what day of eactf month. Miss Willie Otey, the community nurse for the Rex Mill, went to Shel by Saturday to give examination in hygiene. Miss Otey Is an accredited Red Cross nurse, and held the exam inations in hygiene for the Gastonla class some weeks ago. The work room is still urgently ;n need of a desk or a table with draw ers in which to place records, etc. Cotton is a much-needed artlcle at the work room. Some ofthe local brokers have been kind enough to donate waste cotton, but just now tlie workers have none at hand. This cotton is used for stuffing rracture pillows. The pillows are much nicer stuffed with cotton alone, but be cause of the scarcity of thi9 article, cloth clippings are being mixed with it. Donations of waste cotton from mills or brokers will be much appre ciated. ltjed Cross Organize! at Pishli. At a meeting of the people of tne Pisgah community Saturday after noon, August 4, an auxiliary of the county division of the Red Cross was organized. An Interested crowd heard the speakers, who were Mrs. Fred L. Smyre. Prof. W. P. Grler and Mrs. Crown Wilson. Mesdames Wil son and Smyre had rotind table talks. Prof. Grier spoke on the subject, "War Aid, a Survey of the Red Cross." Eighty per cent of those present became members. The fol lowing officers were elected: Rev. J. B. Hood, president; Miss Nannie Whitesides, vice-president; Miss An nie Pearson, secretary; W. Ira Falls, treasurer. The Pisgah people can be depended upon to do their part in any endeavor of this kind. The com munity has several of her young men in training and others will probably follow soon. The realization of tne needs of these and other young men will make this place a Red Cross stronghold. All the older people, who will not go to war, should Join and in this way help to heal the wounds of your boys. Dr. F. D. Boyer, of Asheville, has been appointed volunteer State di rector for North Carolina. He will assist in organizing chapters, 'serve as general advisor and stimulate the work of the Red Cross in the State. Dr. Boyer was for nearly two years an ambulance driver In the American ambulance corps. He is thoroughly familiar wit,h tbe work and has the added advantage of having seen some of it at tbe front. Because of a demand for a better grade of Red Cross pins, the Nation al headquarters has authorized the manufacture of the pins to combine enamel and gold, which is quite pret ty. It has the Red Cross mounted on white enamel and has a band of blue. This shows the national colors, red, white and blue. Ask the secretary to order you a pin if you would lute to have a better one. She will be de lighted to order them for any who may desire it. Tbe annual convention of the State Association of County Com missioners will be held in Wilson Au gust 14 to' 16. W. C. Boren is pres ident and W. E. Johnson, of Bun combe. Is seretary of the association. A to the value of anti-typhoid vaccine, the war in Europe has sup plied a test on an enormous scale, and there has been no divergence of opinion as to its use or efficiency at rSny time. Aa a matter of fact, its efficiency baa been so well establisn- ed In Europe that many states or countries, .-Galllcla, for instance, has made its use compulsory for her en tire population. Germany says she baa given it to millions with no seri ous consequence. 1. - .DfcrK -: J. M. BELIC GO.
