GERMANS FAIL
TO BEND BACK
BRITISH Lines

For the first time in weeks no change
OF Importance was reported in any
theatre Of the war Thursday. The most
violent fighting took place on the
western end of the British salient on
the Somme. Six times the Germans ad-
vanced in force in desperate Sfort
to bend back the British lines north
west OF Pozieres. London reports that
all of these assaults were repulsed with
heavy losses and that the British in
turn captured about 100 yards of
trenches northwest of Basentin.
The Germans, contrary to their usu.
al practice, have so far made no at.
tempt to deliver counter attack in
the region where the French and Brit.
ish claim to have captured nearly three
miles of trenches on Wednesday. TIL.
French are busily consolidating their
gains and report no action of impor-
tance on the section of their front, in
cluding the Verdun region.
Some mystery exists as to the situa-
| T..
consecutive days the Russians have
confined themselves to brief state
ments that nothing Of Importance had
occurred. The Austrian and German
war Offices have been almost equally
uncommunicative. The only fighting
mentioned by Vienna was the repulse
Of Russian attacks on the lines of Gen.
Won Boehm- -Ermolli, who is in command
of the Teutonic forces retiring from
the Tarnapol front. Berlin reports
the repulse Of Russian attacks north
Of Brody.
The lull in the Italian operations
against Trieste is unofficially explain
ed from Rome as due to General Ca
dorno's desire to straighten his lines
before proceeding with a general of.
fensive against the great Austrian
seaport. Austrian seaplanes have once
more raided Venice, but Rome sayt
they caused only slight damage.

OVER MILLION SHELLS
FIRED EACH "a HOURS
fensive on West Front is IRE
mendously High.

HEADQUARTERS of German Army Group
on the Somme Front, Saturday, Aug
-, via Berlin to London, Aug. IL
The expenditure Of artillery ammuni-
ton by the entente allies on this front
has reached a prodigious volume, often
striking the rate of 80 shells second
during drum fire. Not infrequently
along the entire Somme front nearly
10000 shells have been dropped in an
hour, while a conservative estimate
puts the average for the "a hours peri
cd at more than 100000 shells.
With this rate of fire the financial
cost of the offensive is naturally high.
What the approximate losses in hui
man material amount to it is difficult
to estimate That the losses of the
British in certain actions have been
frightfully affirmed by German Off
GERS, who, on the other hand, frankly
admit that their own losses have been
far from light, though all insist that
they were not nearly as heavy as the
British.
The German expenditure in ammuni
ton has been much lighter than that
of the British for the reason that the
German artillery concentrated its eff
forts on special objects, such as trench
es, transports and reserve bases, while
the British often screen off whole sec

w. J. BRYAN TO

Washington, Aug. H.-William Jen-

dent and for two ysars secretary of
state in President WILSON IS cabinet, is

and establish citizenship at Ashevillc,
according to Henry T. Smith of Omaha,
Neb., who is spending a few DAYS

Eter the November election. Mr.. Bry-

that is over he viii, make plans to move
to Asheville and establish his residence
there.
In the opinion of Mr. Smith, Mr. Bry-
an will take an active part in North
Carolina politics after he becomes a ci-
tizen Of the State and may become a
candidate for Office, probably United
States senator. It is not known wheth-
er Mr.. Bryan has any such desire, but,
according to Mr.. Smith, this is being
discussed in Nebraska.

of the Bryans declare they propose
moving to North Carolina, where Mr.
Bryan has an estate at Asheville, and
that he aspires to the United States
senate from that state. Bryan owns
a farm in Texas, one in Florida, and a
piece of land at Sunset mountain, ov.
erlooking the famous Grove inn at
Asheville, as we'll as pretty home in

COMPULSORY EDUCATION
MADE LAW IN GEORGIA
Annual Session of the State Legislature
Ends SO Days Session With En-
actment of Few Laws

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 1.-THE annual
session of the Georgia legislature
which did it's SO days work during an
active gubernatorial campaign, ended
tonight with few bills of more than To-
cal interest passed. The enactment Of
compulsory education bill probably
has been the subject of more comment
than any other general measure de-
bated at this session.
The right to practice law in Georgia
was given to women after long fight,
but the equal suffrage question died in
a house committee and in the senate
was set for committee hearing August
l7-one day after the legislature was
forced to adjourn by law.
The senate Eantilynch law, pro-
vided that sheriffs of counties wherein
lynchings took place could be imme-
diately removed by the governor, was
tabled in the house by vote Of 113
to 80. After much argument the liquor
tax measure passed. Every shipment
is to be taxed 10 cents if the governor
signs the bill The ordinary of each
county is to keep-the first 5000 obtain
ed and the balance goes into the state
treasury.
At the earnest appeal of Governor
Harris bill providing six judges in
stead Of three for the court of appeals
was passed
A highway commission bill giving
doubtful authority in the minds OF
many lawyers who have studied it's pro
visions, was passed. It was pointed
out that Georgia was one of only three
states in the union not having a high
way commission.
The compulsory education bill pro
vides that children shall attend schoo
at least four months in each year an,
it's details were so worked out, its pro
ponents believe, to circumvent certain
race conditions which have had to b
=. overcome in making compulsory educa
ton bills in the south meet the desire
end.
Another bill passed gives state gran
: juries the right to investigate an
eelemosenary institution in the State

CRUsHERs FINDING MARKET
Hundred Thousand Bushels Of N. G..
Crop Sold Last Year.

Raleigh, N. c., Aug. l6.-Last year
in Eastern North Carolina was begun
a new industry in the utilization of the
soybean by the cotton Oil mills of the
section. This was the first time in
America that oil had been crushed
from domestic beans OH a commercial
scale. The North Carolina mills dur
ing the fall, winter and spring utilized
something like 900 bushels of beans.
These efforts on the part of the North
tention not only from soap, paint, var
nish, glycerine and special invalid food
manufacturers in different parts of the
country, but large number of the
tions of the South have decided to pro-
mote the industry in their respective
States.
That the industry will grow from
year to year and thereby bring money
from another source to the state, and
at the same time give permanent i'm
provements to the soil is what Mr.. c. B.
Williams, of the North Carolina Exper-
iment Station, believes. Mr.. Williams
has written to quite number of manu-
facturers in the North asking what dis
posal could be made of the North Caro-
lima output, and every reply has lent
encouragement to the belief that the in
dustry would soon be a large one. One
firm writes: "The oil is more satisfac-
tory in connection with the manufac-
ture Of paints and varnishes than either
isingcorn or cotton seed oil, the most
important reason for this being that
the soy bean oil possesses better dry
ing qualities. It is more rapidly mani
pulated SO that proper drying of paints
and varnishes in which it has been used
will result
Mr.. Williams has heard from a mum
Der of soap manufacturers, all of whom
claim that there is no reason why the
} soy bean oil cannot be utilized in the
manufacture of sweet scented soaps.
Aside from their commercial value
soy beans possess the power of gath
ering nitrogen and depositing it in th'
soil The vines when cut with dist
harrow and ployed under yield ever
greater fertilizing benefit. The SO.
bean is better adapted to all parts Of
the State than is the cowpea. It is no
S so easily killed by frost, but also cal
be grown in wider range of climatic
g and soil conditions.
: Mr. Williams says that as a CONNER
: cial crop soy beans compare favorably
with other money crops, although th'
e market has not been SO well establish
: ed. But he believes that there is {
s future of the soy bean as CONNER
v cial crop, and also as soil improver

THE WARNING BY 1.-THE FATHER"

ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE years
" ago, President Washington, the Father of the
United States of America, addressed congress in
these words
''The United States ought not to indulge a
persuasion that, contrary to the order OF human
events, they will forever keep al a distance these
painful appeals to arms with which the history of
every nation abounds. There is a rank due to the
United States among nations which will be with
held, if not absolutely lost, by the reputation of
weakness.
''lf we desire TO avoid insult we must be able
to repel 1t. II we desire to secure peace-one of
the most powerful instruments of our prosperity
it must be known that we are at all times ready
for war"
To President Washington's appeal the second
congress Of the United States responded by passing
ringing resolutions pedgng itself to provide ade-
quate defenses. How we'll it kept that pledgs was
shown in 1912, when our infant republic sent to the
front nearly 100000 well-equpped soldiers and sue
cessfuly resisted the British legions
President Wilson has made the same appeal to
the Oath congress. In 1903, the United States was
an impoverished nation, struggling TO win its "pace
in the SUM-" 1t could i'll afford the cost of prepared
ness. Today, ii is rich and mighty; the cost of
carrying out the administrations preparedness
measures, comparatively speaking, would entail
much less sacrifice than was gladly made by the
second congress and the people of the United States
in 1903. Is America less patriotic now? The
answer lies with the o4th congress.
