Advance
ALLIED LEADERS
NOT PESSIMISTIC
Germans Have Not Men to
Spare for Prolonged
Offensive

Russia's shaken armies in Galicia
not to end until they reach an
approximate line occupied by them
last year before General Brussiloff
began his big offensive. Despite this
ering virtually all the front be-
tween the north Galician border and
the Carpathian foothills, the tone OF
both official, and unofficial dispatchc
coming out of PetFograd III not pess!-
mistic.
There is apparent confidence that
the Reorganization in the ranks
induced by the Vaccinations of the
extremists and believed to have
been promulgated by German in
trique will be dealt with and a firm
front again presented to the enemy.
For one thing the Germans by their
own admission have not the men 20
spare to prosecute a sustained offen-
sive on a large scale on the eastern
front. The British and the French
are keeping them too busy and they
the too apprehensive of some extra
forceful stroke in the west to trans
fer any great number of troops from
the Franco Belgian war area.
For another the Russians have big
reserves of men and Premier Keren-
sky with the vast powers now in his
hands will find it possible, it is be-
heyed. to weed out the dislOyal ele-
ment rapidly from the front ranks
and replace them with the hosts Of
dependable troops which Russia still
possesses.
The inherent strength OF the
entente position in the vest has
Just received a fresh illustration on
the Aisne front. Here the French
have just emerged victors in a long
drawn out struggle for the posses
sion OF the important high ground in
the Craonne region. Yesterdays
brilliant attack gave General Petain's
troops renewed possession of the
fight area gained by the crown prince
in his costly series of attacks. The
French even pushed beyond their old
lines at some points.
An attack was directed against the
positions recaptured by the French
on the Colifornie plateau. Although
delivered after a bombardment IL was
entielry futile, the French regaining
the ground and consolidating their
gains.

i ING. fact that both sections OF the
State are ayailing themselves Of the
new opportunity that is now being
emphasized in all quarters Of the
State.
Tie States packing houses and
creameries provide the farmers with
2 new source Of income from live
stock and dairy farming, and we will
begin to realize what it means to the
State. when her 100000 farmers add
arbther potential tseature &c their
farming operations. The best thing
about it is that the livestock indus
t1y will not only produce wealth but
it will enable the farm wealth of the
State to be retained.
The possibilities in it may be con-
ceived when it is sta+1 that if 3OO,-
600 farmers will raise just one more
| $40 hog a year each it will mean a
gain of S3,0OO,0O0 year to the
wealth Of the State. We will retain
that much Of the much larger amount
Of money that is now sent out of the
! State. The possibility is, however,
that within three years the State
increased livestock interests will be
more like s15,oG0,OO0 to $20,O00,oO0
annually.
There are more possibilities in it
than in any other one undertaking
for the States development, and that
is easily to be seen. The people Of
the whole State will be able to see
it in the true light, if they willonly
mobilize and attend the Statewide

BLADEN is DETERMINED
TO HAVE GOOD ROADS
Citizens Of That County Are Thor

oughly Alive to Advantages of Sys-
tenn OF Good Roads Over the Coun-
ty
Wilmington Dispatch.
Never before in the history Of Bla-
den county has so much interest been
manifested in good road building as
is being shown at the present ard
the construction of an ideal road con-
Meeting that city with Wilmington is
uppermost in the minds of citizens
OF that county. according to Mr.. D..
Il. Winslow, United States superin-
teadent Of road construction, who
spent a period in the city the other
day with Chairman w. A. McGirt Of
the board OF county commissioners,
while en-, route to his headquarters
in Durham after having just delivered
a number Of lectures on good roads
ara their advantages to residents
Of Biaden. Residents of that county
are very interested in good roads
universally, but more SO in road
connecting Elizabethtown with this
city. They realize fully what this
would mean to them and if interest
| continues as it is at present such a
-oad is almost assured.
The good roads idea has laid dor
nant in the minds of citizens of
Bladen for years, but according to Mr..
! Winslow no county has ever taken
hold of a proposition with as much
interest as did Baden, following a
clear explanation of what was to be
gained by better roads and a fur

Mr.. Winslow told Bladen county
people that he DID not care whether
they issued bonds for road building
or not, but he did advise that roads
be built by some means. He delivered
several lectures OF addresses on good
roads during his stay there and was
heard by record breaking crowds.
Older inhabitants who own much
property and who have always been
opposed to anything that will raise
their tax rate, became ardent sup
porter5 of better roads, according to
Mr.. Winslow and openly told him so,
The engineer stated that after his
talks and after he had demonstrated
on some Of the county's poor roads
that his money became worthless;
that he found it impossible to even
buy q cigar and he laughingly stated
that he was received with an almost
hostile feeling for rumor had gone
ahead that ne was to preach bond is
sues.
Mr.. Winslow not only talked good
roads but he showed the people how
easy it is to convert an impossible
road into one over which any vehicle
can easily pass. He stated that resi-
dents of the county turned out of
their own accord and assisted him in
knocking bad spots out of MANY of
the roads, One hill on which three
automobiles stalled within a 1ialf
days time was placed in such condi-
ton in two hours by a force working
under the direction of the govern
| ment engineer that it was possible
| for an automobile to ascend on high
gear.

morning, but the example that he set

Joke on Grandfather,

Seven-year-old Willie sat next to hls grandfather at the dinner table and handed him note from the principal of the public school requesting the at' tendance of the grandfather at meet Ing of the Parents and Teachers as- sociation. The old gentleman, who is fond of joke, pretendeG to reac an follows, Dear Sir: Your crop-eared, bandy-legged. sniffled-nose boy needs spanking. There are no shingles in this school sufficiently heavy for the purpose. Will you kindly take him Into the woodshed and administer much-needed correction?" Everybody at the table laughed except the young ster. With a perfectly grave face he said, "Oh, grandfather, should not have thought that you would preserve all these years note that was writ ten to your father when you was boy"

Proper View of Life,

Why is it. wender, that the little boy almost always fmagines that out side of home is to be found the larger liberty? Why do young men fondly dream that yonder, always wonder, is to be found business opportunity? Why does the dissOlute man conclude that, outside the common virtues of society, he is to find the larger life2 For you, my son, will sometime find that your largest liberty was in the old home, where, If there was author ity, there was also deep and abiding love; and you, my friend, will find that others succeeded in your home town, while you failed in the world ; and you, my liberty-loving man, will most surely realize, that in the com- mon virtues of the simply good life is to be found what you seek in the by-paths of the world. Find the wealth that lies everywhere about you. Prac- tice the virtues that you know. Cher. ish the love that is yours now. Value the friends that you have known; and In the superficial you will find the profound, and in the simple things the things eternal.-St. Johns Bulle- fin

Rich Man Knows Not What He Wants

The Woman's Home Companion has an article in which this passage oc- CUTS: '"The nuisance for the man who has acquired great financial resources usually is that he doesn't know what he wants. Possessing the resources and feeling the moral necessity to have recourse to them, he looks about for something to want, and he selects the most costly thing. The acquisi- tion of this most costly thing always involves, in practice, the separation of the rich man from society. Thus, he will acquire large estate, or sev' eral large estates, and cut himself off from the world by gates, doors, miles of drive, lodgekeepers, menials and secretaries. Or he will acquire a g. 0OO-ton yacht and cross the Atlantic privately, though less quickly, less comfortably and even less privately than on great liner. Or he will keep a private orchestra, instead of being seen at concerts. AM which. though magnificent, is antisocial and silly, and is secretly felt to be SO by the rich man when he happens to wake up in the middle of the night and can't go to sleep again."
