leo and from Mexicans in the United
States poured in at the White House

General CarranZa expressed great
satisfaction through American Consul
Silliman and said he would send a
formal note of thanks later. Admin
istration officials reiterated today that

complaint had come from any foreign
government.

Germans Claim Victory

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE German
embassy today received the following
wireless from Berlin:
All the French and English reports
of victories in battles in France are
untrue. The German retreat of the
western wing was a practical maneu-
yer not affecting the strategical posi-
tiCn. The French attempt to break
through the center of the German po-
sition was victoriously repulsed.
There is confirmation of German
success at several points in the long
extended battlefield. The Temps re-
ports that the losses of the British
army in the recent fighting amount
to $4,000 dead and wounded.

Washington, Sept. 17.-President
Wilson announced today that he had
received from the imperial chancellor
OF Germany a noncommittal reply to
his inquiry into the report that EN-
pelor William was willing to discuss
terms of peace.
President Wilson said there was
nothing to indicate whether the in
gIiry had been brought to the atten-
ton of Emperor William. The opin-
ion prevails in official circles that a
further reply is expected.

Paris, Sept 1.-THE rear guard
action, supposed at first to be intend
ed as a check to pursuit and to facili-
tate the retreat of the mass OF the
iarmies of Generals Won Kluck and
Won Beulow, has developed into what
VIII probably be called in history the
battle of Aisne Whether the Ger
mans have found it necessary or adj
visable to turn and engage in a gem
eral action or not, this great battle
wages fiercely and rivals in import
ance the battle of the Marne.
The war office says that the French
have not flinched at any peril. This
sounds as if they were on the defen-
sive and this might be true, in view
of the strength of the position the
Germans occupy. The official COM
munication Sunday said that the
french and English had crossed the
Aisne. If so, they have the river at
their back. while the Germans are
strongly entrenched ON the heights OF
Laon-
Germans Lack Ammunition
The undetermined element in this
fight is the allies right, which is in
pursuit of the crown princes army.
All reports indicate that the latter is
quite as demoralized as was Won
Kluck's army. and is suffering equally
from lack of provisions and ammuni-
ton. While Won Kluck has no doubt
received what he needs in this re
spect, it is doubtful if the crown
prince has been so fortunate.
The issue of the battle may depend
on whether the crown prince reaches
the front and whether he can make a
stand and prevent the allies from
turning the German left.
The Germans are slowly giving way
in great battle that continued today
all along the line of the River Aisne,
according to official announcement
made in Paris this afternoon.
The text of the official communica-
ton is as follows: First, on our left
wing the resistance of the enemy on
the heights to the north of the River
Aisne has continued in spite of the
fact that the enemy gave back Slight
ly at certain points.
Second: The center between Ber-
rp-au-Bair on the Aisne and the Ar
gennau shows no change. The enemy
continued to fortify himself along the
line previously indicated. Between
the Argonne and Meuse the Germans
are entrenching themselves in the vi
cinity of Mont Faucon. In the Woe.

with several detachments of the

Third: On our right wing, in Lor

Summing up: The battle is being
continued along the entire front be

ABOR MANS GREATEST BLESSING

Editor Democrat:
Perhaps as long as man IS on this
earth, we will hear the doleful cry,
that the world is growing worse, not
~withstanding everything goes to show
from century to century that it is most
wonderfully growing better and bet
ter. Well, but they say man was pun
ished by God with toll labor and the
sweat of his face, as the price of his
eating bread till he returns again to
the ground.
There is not a healthy man living
OF this earth, able to work and having
something to ~usefully engage his
time, but should get down on his
knees about three times a day and
thank the Creator, that he can be SO
usefully employed. The man who
would say hat work is a punishment
of God and play, ease, or any kind
Of idleness was a blessing, then that
man ought to be admitted to a lunatic
asylum on general principles.
1t is just that kind of willie-nimble
stiffness that has sent to ruin many a
son and daughter Of otherwise very
good men and women-giving them an
easy, pleasant, good time in some other
way, than through the nobility of la
Dor. Yes, my friends, put your sons
and daughters to some kind of useful
employment and WORK, If. you have to
hire them out to a soap-factory or
digging Eaters. Away with the idea
that when useful labor became the lot
of mankind, that he was cursed rath-
eli than blessed, for otherwise you be-
come stated, a bore to humanity, q
nausea to your race, with only a ca
pacity for drink, g%luttonous and. licen-
tiousness galore.
Listen to what the Prophet Hosea
says: "Now their doings have beseI
them about. They have sown the
wind and they shall reap the whirl-
wind" Work and you get tired and
then comes to you the blessedness Of

MARION's LOYALTY TO SCHOOLS.
(Marion Progress.)

&-.#F
Marion claims to be a progressive
little town, yet our people did not
have enough civic pride to attend the
debating contest in which every other
town in North Carolina was vitality in
terested. The crowd CD at the graded
school building Friday night could not
fail to impress our visitors from Hen
Jacksonville. When they noted the
humber present and also the number
of empty seats they must have formed
a very favorable opinion of the school
enthusiasm of our so-called progress
sive citizens.
Supt. Griffin and the high school
pupils were most courteous to their
guests and gave them a most royal
welcome but no one could appreciate
talking to empty benches.
The superintendent and pupils could
not be responsible for the size of the
audience. They had advertised the
meeting; every newspaper has been
full of the Triangular debates" so
u people certainly were aware of the
fact that our boys were to meet Hen
Jacksonville in joint debate in Marion
on March 20. Still they preferred to
stay at home or elsewhere rather
than show, by their presence, an in
terest in the work that means so much
to the high school boys.
Is this to last? Are we to let bust
ness interfere with the education OF
our children? Then why be surprised
II the children themselves lose interest
in the school and it's surroundings?

Variety Of Dict.

The varied diet that most Americans
indulge ln-meats, vegetables, and
usually supplies the needs of the
system, and it Is well TO adhere to va
rlety Of foods; but the proper elements
are properly attained by guess and
chance rather than knowledge. A good
deal is said in these modern DAYS about
the chemistry of foods and balanced
ration, but it is talk wasted on the multi
tude. 1t is useless to talk about food
values in the term of units" or 'calor-
les" or other technical terms. What
people need to be taught is the nature OF
the various foods in language that they
can understand.
If housewife is taught that she is
laying the foundation for indigestion
when she serves three or four kinds Of
starchy foods at a meal-bread, potatoes,
rice OF spaghetti, perhaps a corn starch
pudding for dessert; such combinations
are known-it would be more to the
purpose then to teach her how TO mix a
salad dressing or 'garnish' a dish OF
scrambled eggs. If she is told that meals
are not necessary three times a day and
may cause injury to any but men en-
gagged. in physical labor. it will be more
to the point than to discourse to her on

Instructive Bulletins.

One of the most successful fruit grow
ers OF Washington county, has for years
purchased the bulletins issued by the
Department of Agriculture each year,
and studied them. Every one 4hat has
been published is in his library, and
more important, its contents in his head,
and be credits much of his business sue
cess to the knowledge thus gained The
leading breeder of cattle in Frederick
county keeps up with his subject in the
same way. The up to- date farmers.
who make money, read these publica-
tons and make use of their information.
Recently Congressman Lewis offered to
send a selection OF these bulletins with
out charge, uron application, and mailed
every farmer a list to pick from. If every
farmer takes advantage OF this chance,
aud every one should do it, we ought to
see more profits made in farming In

The Now Peril.

There is a new record of July 4th, ac-
cidents to 90 into history. 1t does not
concern the abuse of explosives but the
reckless over driving of power machines.
There is no excuse for this in an al
legged spirit of celebration. The record
is not only that of Independence Day
but of the vacation season extending
over the following Sunday And the
wrecks and fatalities have no explana-
tons except that of wild recklessneSs.
The list of the dead and injured in au-
tomobile accidents in this period is not
complete; something further is to be
heard from the the hospitals where the
victims have been taken But the lesson of
carelessness is cruelty pertinent This
condition should by no possibility be
allowed to prevail
We have prescribed rules forbldding
our people to blow themselves up and
set cJnflagratonS by fireworks on the
glorious Fourth. 1t should be equally
possible to prevent them smashing and
Gripping each other with automobiles. -
