but that harmony and cooperation
was necessary. He declared that
Hendersonville had been devoured by
selfishness on the part of those who
could see nothing worth while except
their own selfish interests and thai
fol this reason they would not unite
in helping the community. He
highly complimented Mr.. Wilcox for
what he had done for the club during
his three-year term as president and
declared that Mr.. Wilcox had done
more for the city during this period
than any other man. He advised his
audience to get together, organize
making a greater HendersonVille.

getting together in an effort to re-or-
ganize the club and place it on good
basis.

many excellent advantages. That he
had adopted it as his home that he
was ready and willing to put his

moved to the city from Wilmington d
few months ago. He told of what had
been accomplished in that section
through cooperation.

HOSTILE AVIATORS PLAY HIDE AND SEEK

 E. Paris, Aug. 1os--A game of hide and seek among the clouds more than a mile above earth, in which the German Taube came off success fully, is described by a French flying. officer in an interview with the cor respondent Fof a Paris neWspaper.
 We were chasing him, two of. uss ''s said the. French aviator. "It prom isedI to Joe a. fine run.y We were seven. or eight thousand feet up. and there was a clear sky except for one great white patch of cumu1us clouds. Closer and closer to him we came, and the gunner in our leading aero plane was just getting ready to open fire. when bangi into the clouds went the German EDisa appeared utterly.

PERCENTAGES OF WAR NJIRED REGOVERIES
 SHOW MEDICAL SKILL

Berlin, Aug 1 Eight hundred and forty eight Of every 1000 wound edo soldiers brought Unto German military hospitals not in the war zone in -Augustyb 191 were discharged fit for service, and go of the remaining 152 died. Tn April the number re- stored to duty had risen to 912. and the deaths had fallen to IA. With the single exception Of March, the death rate. shows q steady decrease, and the average for nine months from August to April inclusive is but 1.9 per cent. The percentages of those discharged fit for duty shows a steady increase, and the average of S8.5 per cent.
 The home hospitals do not, of course, receive a great number of the severely wounded, but assuming the number received. to have been fairly constant, the figures Indicate a steady gain in surgical and medical work. Tn the Crimean War. 28 per cent of the wounded died; in the IaIian. war of 1859 IT per cent; of the Prussia ms in the war with Denmark 15.5 per cent;- in.1s7O-71, III per cent; in the Russo panese war, 6.8 per cent.

Russian Army Camp in Tukish Armenia, Aug. 10-The Russian army that is in pursuit of the elusive Turks in this region have, at this writing, reached the Valley of the Habur, an affuent of the Tigris, at point 60 miles south of Van.
 On June 2, the. right flank of the Russian forces engaged the Turks un- der Ha1id Bey, near the Tigris, and fought until nightfa1l, when the Turks made off. into darkness. The Arnen- ian volunteers, who are doing some of the best fighting for the Russia ms, be- gan ' the battle at o'clock in the morning and sustained it along on open ground until noon when General T's cavalry from Sarai came into ac- ton. The artillery was brought up in the afternoon, but by then Ha11id. Bey had taken a position on inaccessible mountains, and since then there has been no contact with him.
 Whatever may be true of .atrocity stories from other sources, it is cer- tainty a fact that the warfare in Ar menia has resulted in the killing of more non-combatants than soldiers, and it is doubtful if there is any other area in the world where the war is so plainly a case of murder.
 The Associated Press correspondent has himself seen the corpes of non- combatants, both men and women, strewn along every trail that the Rus sian army has traversed. On June 4, while climbing a pass at least 10 900 feet above sea level, two remarkably handsome Armenianss were seen slain beside the road, and nearby lay aKur- dish girl. dead from starvation and hardshi D.. In a niche of the rocks of the high mountain pass there was found a deserted baby softly crying beneath a saddle blanket.
 At one point a group of 30 Armen- ian women gathered at the midday haIting place of the Russian soldiers on the crest of the pass, and moaned for food and clothes, but there was nothing to spare them, as the se4diefA themselves were without bread or fuel to cook their supera bundant mutton. They were in a district where even dry weeds failed them for fire-build- ing purposes, and there were no more villages to destroy for roof unbers- Even the veteran ampaigners of the Russo-Turkish war of 1877-8 and of every Russian campaign since, then are sickened by the conditions with which they. come in daily contact in this devastated land, and especially by the emergences of the brute in- stincts to kill and destroy. < The roads and sheep paths. every where are bestrewn with the posses sions of the Kurds of Van Vilayet and on the mountains and in the valleys there ggraze countless thousands of their Abandoned sheep. Dead horses, broken saddles, harness and torn uni forms testify also to the rapid weak eningl of the Turkish regulars.

 Sandy Hook, Aug. 1o.-Char1es B. Hawley, veteran of the Civil war, and proprietor of a line of stages here for more than generation was the victim of a streak of i1I-1uck last Sat4 urday which lie relates thus: After trying in vain to hire a husky 1aborer to dig post holes for a fallen fence in front of his home lot, he impressed one of his assistant Jehus, much against his will, in the work of dig ging the holes while the employer |dtd the. carpentering work in the erection of the fence. Tn the process of the work the reluctant helper found at the foot Of one much der cayed post a new Bradley axe, and a quart bottle of what, turned out to be an excellent quality of whiskey. The bottle was uncorked and the label showed it to be of a brand not sold by local dispensers of such goods. but put up bysa well known -rectifier of Bridgeport Findings keepings'' said the lucky one, and finished dig ging the post holes after fashion. The latter withdrew with his prizes copcealed, but the story leaked out, and that is what has aroused the ire of the old veteran. AS he tells the story today all the benefit accruing to him is that he was approached- to- day by several ab1e-bodled citizens of the village who wanted a job tp dig post holes. ~
