SUMMARY OF THURS
DAYS WAR NEWS
British Begin New Drive Along D.
Mile Front

British Begin New Drive Along g.
Mile Front
A British drive along a front OF
s miles between the Ypres-Comlnes
and the. Ypres-Staden railways was
started at dawn Thursday morning.
At nightfall the British command
er reported the occupation Of i'm
portant position, the occupation of
more than 1000 prisoners and the
infliction of heavy casualties on the
Germans.
Heavy artillery preparation for
days had been going on and extern
sive raids in anticipation Of a tre-
mendous infantry assault, and when
the British left their trenches they
were preceded by row upon row OF
5arrage fre, reaching into the Ger
man lines to a greater depth than
on any previous occasion. Concrete
redoubts, hundreds Of machine guns,
harbed wire entanglements and
marshy ground faced the British in
their storming operations, but the
heavy guns cut down many Of the
barriers and the British went forward
steadily, gaining all the objectlves
laid down in the plan of operations
for the first day Of penetrating the
German lines in places for a mile
or so. :.
The unofficial report from Field
Marshal Haig characterizes the re
suit of the days battle as a great
success and The Associated Press
staff correspondents at the FROM de
clare that if the British maintain
the positions to which they have
advanced, "they will have accom-
plished one of the most remarkable
land most important achievements
in recent months"
Strong German forces had been
assembled for the purpose of hold
ing back the British troops in this
tremendous bombardment which had
been going on daily, several times
reaching drum-fire intensity, pres
aged a determined effort to break
through, and the German resistance
at many points was of the fiercest
nature.
Peking dispatches Say that the
Chinese government is willing to
send 100000 troops to France if the
Entente powers approve. A Toxic
dispatch says Japan has been SOUND
ed on this proposition and there are
indications that Japan will not op-
pose such action.

DEVELOPMENTS IN KING
MURDER MYSTERY

Attorney Phil C. McDuffie of At
lanta, who represented Mrs. Anna
l.. Robinson, mother of Mrs. Maude
A. King, who was mysteriously kill
ed near Concord on the evening Of
August 20, served notice on the banks
of Concord Thursday that Castor
Bullock Means, former business man
ager for Mrs. King and with her on
the night she was shot, had been
enjoined by an order of Federal
Judge Boyd, at Greensboro, from
transferring any funds of the King
estate. 1t had been learned that a
draft for $4,000 had been drawn
through a Concord bank on bank
of New York city by Mrs. Julie
means, wife of CASTOR Means. Judge
Boyd Thursday made Mrs. Julie
Means and Alton Means, the latter
brother Of CASTOR, parties to the
restraining order issued a few days
before. Another Concord bank was
Informed that a draft had been
drawn through it for something
more than $4,000 and was ordered to
hold any funds that might come in
to its hands on this account.
A dispatch of the Goth from New
York states that information indi-
eating that Mrs. Maude A. King,
widow of Jas. G.. King, millionaire
lumberman, intended this fall to re-
marry her first husband, Edward
b. Hull, has come into the posses
sion of Assistant District Attorney
Dooling. Mr.. Dooling announced he
had received information that the
couple met by appointment last Year
in Chicago, and after several later
meetings decided to remarry. He
said it was important to establish
this point in connection with the in
quiry as to whether there was plot
on foot to obtain Mrs. Kings for
tune which might have been inter-
. ferred with by her marriage.

Uncle Sam is Some Buyer Of Food
Concord Times.
This war has made UEcle Sam
the largest buyer Of food in all the
country. The statement has been
made that the board bill of our sol
diers is s8OO,OOO day. According
to the best reports we will soon have
two million men under arms, and it
costs forty cents a day to feed them.
It must be remembered, too, that
these men, who were former produc-
ers, are now only consumers. Mr..
Charles Lathrop Pack, president Of
the National Food Garden Commis-
sion, gives these facts which will be
of much interest:
"I am told that the reserve stock
of foodstuffs at each camp is $685.
600 and there are 33 camps in the
country today. That means that
food valued at S4,125,OO0 is taken
out of the regular channels Of trade,
These figures give but an idea Of
the need of food conservation on
the part of the individual at this
time. The National Emergency
Food Garden Commission urges ev-
cry Soldier of the Soil to at once
promote himself to a Colonel of Con-
servation and store and can food
as never before.
Germany reports that it's war gar
dens produce more this year than
any year since the war started. This
shows the value of experience. We
have had one Years experience and
have raised $50,000,0O0 worth Of
produce in our war gardens. Next
year we will do even better. We
will then have more war gardens
and the average product Of each will
be larger. "Housewives of this coun-
try this year have preserved and
canned at least 460,OOO,OOO jars Of

THINGS SEEN AND, HEARD
(Bv The Robesonian's local reporter
While on and off his beat)

Where Did the Blood Come From:
Where did the blood come from?
A certain young Lumbertonian was
riding a bicycle one day recently ard
when he got off the bicycle both
his clothes and the bicycle had blood
spattered on them. The young man
was very much puzzled about the
matter and asked the reporter to ex-
plain to him where the blood came
from. Of course he could not COM
ply with the request and the young
man is still wondering where the
blood came from.
Made More Money and Will Save 1t
81 made more money this year off
nv farm than I have ever made"
said a Robson farmer to the report
er the other day. The farmer con-
tinued, ~ am going to save that
money, too." There are hundreds
Of Robson county farmers who will
make more money on their farms
this year than they ever made in
one wear before, but how many will
save it, is the question.

Reckless Auto Driving onI Creek

Reckless Auto Driving ON creek
Road
The reporter is continually hear
ing compl amt from people living
on the Creek road, which is a part
of the Wilmington-Charlot high
way, about folks driving automobiles
so fast by their homes and killing
their chickens and even endangering
the lives of their children. One far
mer recently told the reporter that
he was going to sell his farm and
move away from the good road.
just after talking with the farmer
the reporter had occasion to travel
over the road and saw chickens ly-
ing in the road dead as result Of
being run down by automobiles. The
farmer said he had already ordered
folks pulled" who break the speed
limit while passing his place.
Will Shoot to Kill
It is fact that people living in
the rural districts Of Robson are be-
ing imposed upon by reckless auto
drivers. A man was telling the re-
porter that some of the women in
his stction had armed themselves wi
