A^lust The t'lerco Attacks
Uolivcrod Contluaaill;
bouUon, Feb. 2—The Germaim huvj
keen makiug desperate efforts the last
lew days to break the extended dead
lock oa the eastern and weat(^rn
Ironts. They haye delivered a aeries
•t' attacks, always preceded by art'l-
J*ry activity, on the allied lines in
Vlanders and France and, while in al
most every case they have thus won
preliminary advantage, before tha
ttghting was concluded the French
British or liclgians have regained th<i
trpuches temporarily lost, and !u
some cast's have occupied the German
fositlons.
In these attacks, according to Brii-
iiili and French ofllcial reports, the
ttermans have suffered severe losst^s.
HeavT CanDonade on Yser.
The Grerman artillery has subjectcJ
the Belgian positions in Flautie: ; t j
a severe bombardment, which sug
gests that the moment has arriveJ
for another effort to get across the
Ts«r, and thence to the French coast
ports.
In return the French have bombar.l
ed the railway station at Noyon, one
of the Germans military centers b i
hind their advanced lines.
Assault Before ViaxH&vi.
Heavy attacks have been madj
agaiust the Uussian lines in Central
Poland. Faced by tianking move
ments, botU north and south, Field
Marshal Von Hindenbufg made a
rfesporate effort, whijh apparently i^i
to bo renuwt'd, tu break through to
Warsaw and Jiu.i not only gain :i
great military and political advantagii
for Germany, but at the same tina.
release the prcsure on Hungary and
Bast Prussia, in each of which re
gions the Uussian troops are slowly
pushing forward.
The fighting west and southwest of:
the Polish capital has been of a des
perate charactor and the Germans at
ttrst were successful, but the Russiar.
oHlcial report declares that the Rus
sians by a counter-attack regalnefl
most of the lo.st ground. The preport
adds that tho Gormans lusses were
“colossal.”
The German oQlcial account simpiv
says of the tighting there:
“Making progress"
SnbmarlueH Molest Chaiiiiel
A German submarine was still ai
large in the English channel yester-
(ContiBued on page tour.)
Notice was given recently that at
a meeting of the Uoard of Aldermen
tho offer of a hundred tons of road
building material made by a Virginia
concern had boon accepted. This com
pany locatcd at Liilington, the Cement
Gravel Company, is selling a special
ivind of gravel for road building which
they claim will make a road far supe
rior to the sand clay variety and as
good if not better than the regular
Macadam. IJelieving that a trial will
be suflicient to secure for them adcii-
tional offers the company la giving
to the city of Greeuvillo one hundred
tons to use as a test.
The material has already arrived
and been unloaded but because of th'-
bad weather conditions no opportuni
ty has been offerred to put it down,
it downlst-el
Tho street authorities have about de
cided to put this gravel road down on
the street in front of the market and
the work will be done as soon as con
ditions will premit. The compnay
lurnishing this material claims that
one ton will build four square yards
of roadway seven inches deep. Th?
city has all of the needed equipment
except a road roller and probably one
of these can be borrowed either from
tlie county or elsewhere.
TO PASS SUIP BILL

Waaiiiubion, t>. C., Feb. -~A plan
guardc>d with tho uiiuiv t secrecy, was
adopted by administration Democrats
of the Senate In caucus tonight lo
break down opposition to the govern
ment ship purchase bill. The pro

cratic revolt.
Haleigh, Feb. 3—The bill to divlle
the State into two Judicial dlatrlLts
'was the main topic of discussion in
the Senate yesterday Much debate
was devoted to tho passage of this
bill and tho debating continued up to
the vote on the bill. The vote was
strongly in favor of tho passage oi
tho bill and all amendments were
lost. The two districts as formed
under this bill consist of forty-eigUf
counties in the Western and fifty-two
in the Kastera.
Senator Harding introduced a uill
to authorize the commissioners of
Aydcn to issue bouds to ostablialj
water, sewerage and light and lev*'
taxes for tho same.
House Proceedings.
Thu proposition to establish arbiti<il
courts in the several counties of the
State caused considerable discussicr
in tho House yesterday and from the
general trend of debate, there seems
to bo rough sledding ahead for th-:
measure. It has already passed the
Senate but the House does not look on
the bill with any great degree of rav-
or. Amendments were sent forward
exempting tho counties of Wake, Gas
ton, Hertford, Iredell Transylvania
Bertie, Camden, Polk, Rowan and
Graham from the operations of the
bill when it finally went over for
final action a number of other mem
bers had amendments ready or were
preparing them to exempt their coun
ties.
-Mr. Pogram's bill to simplify tli«
form of deeds and mortgages brought
out a lengthy discussion and it oo
went over for final dispo.siition unt'l
today.
