LioiiUon. May li*. — Lord Kilclu'iu'i'.
(he Knglisli war lord, told the housu
of lords yesterday, that more recruits
vveri' needed at once to I'orni armies
to be sent to France. Kitchener wants
;J00,000 men at cnee.
He pjoke of the great victories of the
iOnnlibh and expressed his opinion to
the el'fei't that the war will be a long
one. Kitchener said. "The saerilices
which we have made have been made
cheerfully.”
Kitchener expressed conl'idenco that
Kngland would soon be in a satisfac
tory condition in regard to ammuni
tion.
Ueferring to the action in the region
of LaUasse and the Arras region Karl
Kitchener said:
“We have all followed wtih admira
tion the forward movements of our
brave allies in otfensive operation
which have been marked with com
plete success. The attacks lirst made
by our troops were not so satisfac
tory, as the Germans had made great
efforts to defend their lines after the
experience at N'euvo Chapelle, but on
the night of May 15th, the British for
ces drove back the (Jermans on our
front.”
Owing to the nature of the ground,
very little progress is being made
around the Dardanelless. However
the Indian soldiers are routing the
Turks in Mespotania.
Kitchener said the Knglisli would
bo equally protected against gases by
using them. The Germans have re
sorted to the uses of deadly gases all
through the war.

appears to the public, as one of the
l)iggest niixups ever known. The
trouble, it is said, is between Winston

of the fleet. At the present this situ

Nexl Sonday lo be Rally

.Next Sunday will "Rally Day” at
the Christian church here in Green
ville. It is hoped that all the mem
bers of that Sunday school will come
out and give the clmrch folks the lar-
Kest congregation evur seen in (iroen-
ville. Not only the members of the
Sunday school arc urgently reauested
to b(^ present, hut all menilxirs of that
htirch are wanted.
The purpose of lliis Rally Day is
to maki' a valiant attempt to see just
how many of the good Sunday school
workers will report.
The nuignificent way ir. which this
church is coming rapilily to the front
is an inspiration to every worker to
lit' present next Sunday, and to lend
his aid in inakig the Sunday school
wliat it can l>e. and should be in a
town the size of Greenville.

RUMOR OF CLASH
IN ENGLISH NATION

House fiiyidBii Into Iwo Factions-
Coalition is to lie the
lutcome
(•orrrsMot Ras Reached a ( risis
Lonr; Expended and Whut the Out

lA)ndon. May 19.—Strong rumors
were in evidence last night in the
lobby of the house of commons that a
coalition government was about to be
formed. I'nionists lea<lers held a con
ference with Premier .As((uith last
night, and it is stiid. that the ques-
tloi! of coalition governiiient was dis
posed of.
Accordnig to these r< port.-i. loca
tions of thee oflices have not been
determined upon. It is Miouglu that
A. .7. Halfour will succeed Winston
Churihill as the first lord of the ad
miralty, th(' later taking some other
office.
All through the day there were re
ports to the efl'ect that the government
had suddenly found itself face to face
with momentous problems of impor
tance. Announcements of the can
cellation of the cabinet (touncil: and
of the postponement of Llovd George's
projected tour of the country in or
der to stimulate the interests of the
people, served to give color to these
reports.
Otticial inforniatoin is lacking, how
ever, whether the cabinet is still con
sidering a coalition government asd
some well informed pserons advise
suspension of judgment until Premier
Asquith gets the confidence of the na
tion .
The Times points out today that
Lord Fisher of the Admiralty has fail
ed to be present at the last two meet
ings of the naval admiralty. It is
thought that there is friction between
him and Winston Churhill. Fisher’s
resignation is probable. The Times
refrains from making any definite sug-
getion. but states that it would bo
well to keep a seaman at the hoa'i
of till' navy, and thinks the only man
for this post is Lord Fisher.
It was stated yesterday that the fric
tion between b’isher and Cliurchill had
been smoothed over.

it not. True some report'ri^ have a

Greenville folks Sprinkling

Greenville folks are taking on a new
era of prospei ity by giving the streets
in front of their homes a good sprlnk-

keep (lie dust down very luucli^ and
is showing a spirit of co-operation on
the part of the citizens toward the city
street sprinkler.

ed on the streets every day by tlu)se
who have the necessary arrangements
in tlieir front yurils and it is a knowT
fact that those in charge of the city
atTairs wili highly appreciate this

keep it up. those who have to brave
the dust of tho streets in mid-day will
give them their everlasting apprecia

Wilmington Now Has Public

Wilmington, N. C. May ISI. — Wil
mington people yesterday gave .$1,000
for a public playgrouiul for her young-
ters. This is characteristic of the pro-
nu-ets with the approval of everyone
gre.ssive citizens of that city, and it
interested in the welfare of the little
folks.
(And by the way of.parenthesis, why
don't the people of Greenville come

here, before the children, who have to
run around the streets, in order to
secure sutiicient exercise, get run
down and seriously hurt, or probab

Refleirior Man Has Pleasant
Dream Early Ihis
Morning
This nioring while a Iteflectcu' re
porter was dodging the autoniobiles
and stray vehicles on the streets, and
incidently looking for something in
the way of a scoop, that would make
inleresling reading matter, he chanced
to lean against a telegraph pole and
fell a-dreaming.
In his drt’am he rettinu'd to the of
fice where he found the city editor
growling behind his desk with an \igly
sio«l on his fai-e. The circulation
manager began to roundly curse the
copy ihaser and the make-up foreman
dropped a form.zThe linotype man
canie into the ofliee and cast a halo
of gloom oviT file already gloomy as
semblage and file oflice boy dropped
,a cuspidor on the editor's toe. .Iu.“t
when file whole shoi) was about to go
up in one blast of blue blaze, one of
the deliiuiuent subscribers hoved to
the front of the circulation manager's
desk, and flashing a roll of green
backs. asked for a subscription i t ■
ceipf. Th'-I irculation manager faint-
e'l dead away and the oflice boy wrote
the receipt.
Wifhi’i five niinufes the oflice was
full of subsiTibers asking for receipts,
giving us live willianis and never
wiiitiiig for their change. All the
force came in to write the receipts.
nd the editor grabbed the money and
shored it down in his worn and torn
pockets.
For hours we sal and fondled the
long green and wrote receipts. The
foreman t)rought in a pail of beer to
refresh us and we gulped it down as
we grabbed six bones from a real old
delinquent subscriber.
To cap the climax all three of fhe
Greenville bank presidents came in
;ind submitted a year's contract for a
goodly size space of advertising. We
were all truly happy, and then all of
a sudden a cop shouted,, "move on
there.” and the reporter awoke with
a grim start.
