Paris : is watching with' the keenest .interest the progteM of ' the battle in the north and every word available ' regarding the - opera tions, from official and' other sources, is the subject of eager discussion. ,' Having been driven by 'gunfire and flood from the road to Dunkirk, the Germans appear to be concentrating all their energies on the Ypres-Aarras line with-the object of reaching. Bou logne' through the valley of Canche river in the department of Pas-de-Calais. Three recently-formed army corps, the 18th from Frankfort, the eighth from Coblenz, and the tenth from Hanover, have been brought up to stiffen the German troops who are exhausted' after nine days of ceaseless fighting;."- i TJie The troops- are . being massed around Arras,, behind strong postitions, es tablished ;r,Beauvais, Tjiloy and St. Jtaurent de Blangy.- . - . -"i Preparatory cannonading 'has Be come intense in the last two days, ac cording to a resident of the district just arrived in Paris',Cand the-attacks of the infantry have been made .appar ently with the object of testing the French strength. ; it was remarkea that . the enemy seemed to be ' abandoning the meth ods of advancing in' dense masses and had.' tried, attacking '-. in open- order, making ? use of all available cover, moving -forward by short spurts and throwingMhemselves ' dowji when the French - quick-firers opened on them. The result, it . appears, has been no better, as the "men seem -to lack' the individual initiative required to make this method? effective. ; None of the. attacks so far, has made any impression on the French line? - -.' The : country between .Arras and Boulogne is well wooded and hilly, lending Jtself admirably to. defensive fighting, and every preparation has Been made to utilize it, for it is real ized that; the 'Gemans: will majre an even 'greater effort : if possible than before, lt particularly in'view of the critical situation of the. Russian front. NO POLICE court: Fo; Third Time, in Week 'Docket 'r. "Void of Cases. .

TS FATE STILL IN DOUBT RETURNS ARE COMING IN SLOW ' LX LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE DEFEATED. Raleigh, Nov. 7. As official and other reliable returns are received, it becomes more evident that the consti tutional , amendments are running good race against defeat. Thirty- three counties show that the taxation amendment is less; than 100 of a ma jority, and it is-expected that the com plete returns will show that the amend ments have- idone better. Returns are coming in very slow. The official vate out by Chairman Bailey.: For Ag'nst.

The political factions at Beaufort are mixed up in a bitter fight in regard to the positions in the United States aboratory at that place. A large num ber of the positions are held by the Democrats while some of them are in the hands of the Republicans. The leaders of, both parties seem to think that their men should have those places and they are putting up a fight to get them in. During the past few weeks a large number of complaints have been filed with the Department of Fisheries and these are now under consideration by that department. Whether any of these charges can be sustained is a mat ter of doubt and even if such is done, considering the fact which brought them about, there is some speculation as to whether any changes will be made, In the meantime the men there are holding on to their jobs and arc keep ing just as quiet as possible. U from C. Tolson a business returned yesterday visit to Greenville. PLANNING BID RALLY FOR BEECH GROVE MISSIONARYSOCIETY AT THAT PLACE TO HOLD INTER ING M BETING. Beech Grove, Nov. 7.
