Situation at Lille Unchanged

About Lille and between Lille and the sea
the situation is the same. The British have
lost, not gained, ground since the battle OF
Ypres and have never made any progress
since the first days OF the fighting in Flan-
ders. Lille is protected by the forts which
surround II, forts dismantled by the French,
but rebuilt by the Germans in the last year.
East OF Champagne is the Argonne, where
the French and Germans have been fighting
in the forest for year with but little change

Argonne are two positions which offer
promise OF success to the assailant. The
country in the north is fiat there are many
roads and the French victory north OF Arras
in May gave the Allies possession OF the
Lorette hills. which dominate the country for
miles around.
South from Lille to La Bassee the German
line is apparently impregnable, but south OF
La Bassee is front OF some 20 miles 10

than 20 miles east to Douai would cut the

to Miss Margaret Wilson for the
White House collection of presidential
chinaware plate of the George Wash

Of set presented to General and Mrs.
Washington by American officers of
the Society of Cincinnati, founded at
Annapolis in 1888 by American and
French officers who served together in
the Revolution, and which had Gen
eral Washington as it's first president.
The plate, considered in many re-
spects the most valuable piece in the
collection because it has more histori-
cal associations and is better known
than any of the Washington relics, is
of Cantonese ware, with deep blue
notified border and gold lines, and
bearing in the center the figure of fame
with at rumpet to her lips and holding
aloft the insignia of the Society of the
Cincinnati.

ENGLAND CLOSES
IRISH CHANNEL
(By Associated Press }

LONDON, Feb. 24.-The war situa-
ton in waters surrounding Great Brit
ain and Ireland continued to furnish
fresh developments involving ships of
European and American neutrals to-
day. The American steamer Carib was
sunk by mine and two British steam
ers have been torpedoed during the
last twenty-four hours, and mariners
are beginning to view with alarm the
activities of German submarines.
AS a precautionary measure the
British admiralty today closed to nav
igation the Irish Channel connecting
the Atlantic with the Irish Sea, eX-
cept narrow strip near the coast, in
which navigation is permitted during
daylight only. One or more German
submarines, it is said, have been trap
ped by this action, and will be unable
to escape, one of these vessels having
been sighted on yesterday within tn
area closed to shipping today.

FIGURING MILL
FULLY ASSURED
WHEAT GROWERS

Of interest to the large number of
wheat growers of Sumter and neigh
boring counties is the story current
here, to the effect that the big Wells
Mill, near Americas, will be equipped
with modern machinery for grinding
wheat, and made ready for business
before the harvesting of the wheat
crop of this section.
Wells Mill is on the right of-way Of
the Central railway, eleven miles be-
low Americas and within a mile or
two of Smithville The location is a
central one, and the mill is accessible
by fine roads.
With the large wheat crop nov
growing in Sumter and neighboring
counties, the matter of a conveniently
located Touring mill was beginning to
assume the proportions of serious
problem. At present the nearest mill
of this kind is twenty-five or thirty
miles away, too far for the conven-
fence of farmers here
Sumter county alone has an area of
5000 acres planted in wheat, and the
crop prospect is very promising.
