ofhcial eye witness account of British
operations. dated July 9 and issued
by the government press bureau to-
day. says that a conflagration has
been visible at that part of the front.
The narrative also tells of artillery
men abandoning their guns in the
West Flanders fighting and joining
a charge against the German positions
The narrative follows:
During the morning of July the
Germans bombarded and blew up a
barricade protecting our line at the
crossing Of the Ypres-Roulers rail-
way. Twenty men rushed through the
gap and endeavored to establish them
selves. but were at once driven back
by bombing parties and the line held
200 Yards of Ditch Falls.
About fifty infantrymen holding
the hostile line north of the railway
attempted to advance to the support
OF their comrades. but they were caught
by our machine gun fire and dis
persed. Around Hill No. so (souheast
of Ypres), the German trench mortars
were very active.
On Tuesday morning came our
turn to attack in the quarter north
of Ypres and east of the Ypres Canal.
1t was considered desirable to wrest
from the enemy a length of their front
line.

bardment. our guns being greatly as
sisted by French artillery. our infan-
try assaulted and captured 200 yards

fight was the cooperation of some of
our artillerymen in the attack

men had established themselves in a Dor

The fighting lasted all day. the
counter attacks by the Germans being re-
pulsed. The losses in one attack were
severe. owing to the fire of trench NOR
tars of the French. which took the enemy
upon the flank
BY night the Germans had succeeded
In regaining a small portion Of the line

hand grenades were thrown. which con-
increased our casualties, but
the wounds of most of the men were
slight.

like a boy with his first pair of red

He is enjoying it. Ten years and he
is seventy-aI in as the saying goes
and If he feels that in those ten years
he can extract a little enjoyment, q
little happiness; why not let him take
the widow, fondle her, love her, marry
her, and be happy?
OF course the average North Amer

only his official acts. If a president
wants to get married that should be
exclusively his business-but it doesn't

President Just an Ordinary Mortal
Greensboro Everything.9
Strictly speaking we do not see wig
it should be anybody's busfness-or
why any one should be concerned ii
the President Of the United States
wants to get married. If he wants to
marry a widow he should have the
right; and if he wants to pose tor
photographers or if he wants to lie:
snap shot people get him. we can't see
where there is any harm. And we do
not see that it is the business of any
living Son of Ham whether his first
wife has been dead fourteen months
FIR fourteen years-if he wants to get
married, let him get married. The
President, as we view it, is not tc
blame.
We think the newspapers have been
about as silly as the President in pa
rading the matter, but the President
isn't to blame for what the newspa-
pers do.
Here in Greensboro there is a senti-
ment of resentment against the Presi-
dent, men and women insisting that lie
is making a mistake. There was q
whole lot of sympathy for Mr.. Wilson
because of his bereavement, genuine
and sincere sympathy, but it seems
that it wasn't needed.
We haven't talked far; haven't dis
cusssedsthe matter, but we have heard
/ it discussed and it is the ~"concensus
Of opinion so far as we can gather
that most people are, as they express
it. "disgueaed."
It is claimed that occupying the pc:
sition of President there should have
been a longer period of mourning:
that when it was finally announced :
should have. been lone with SINE dig
nifty; and that the stories that private
telephone lines were run from one
room to another and all that silly dope,
such as might have been expected from
a twain. of yoke1s green as gourds aud
experiencing the first wild thrill Of
love, should have been cut out.
That is what a great many people
In Greensboro are thinking and what
a great many r saying. As we said
above, we are not worrying.
We have learned that there is no
honor in the Office, because the dirty
and unseemly fights made to secure
the nomination rob it of all honor. The
office comes by blind and eyeless
chsnce-and not from the loom Of
tone,s5own genius. Therefore the pres
idend personally. is no greater MAJ
than hundreds of thousands of other
men. His position is n of dignity :
but the man filing it must not, neces-
sarily be dignifed.
We all know that OF all the germs
In all the world the love-germ is the
most wonderful. 1t will cause the
grimmest stole to lose his head; It
will make a laughing philosopher out

struck will open his purse strings and
do stunts that even a gallon of corn
