Major P H StolL.

The Hon P H Stoll, who on Sep
tember was appointed Judge ad'
vocate in the United States army by
President Wilson, received telegraph
|ic orders Monday to proceed at once
to Boston, Mass. and report for
duty to the commonding officer of
the Northeastern division.
The order directing Major Stoll to
Boston came as a surprise and a
shock to the host of friends and rel
atives of this deservedly popular
\ young man, for we had all expected
and hoped that he would be order
ed to duty at some one of the South
ern military posts or cantonments.
and speculation was rife that in his
new official capacity he would be
first stationed at Camp Jackson.
But such is the "fckleness' of mill
tary service. One may be most
pleasantly stationed today at Fort
Moultrie or at the Charleston Navy
Yard and a short time later he will
find himself, in compliance with de.
partment orders, on the Alaskan
border or, perhaps, on the isolated
island of Guam in far away Pacific
and the best one can do is to re-
gard the change philosophically and
with imperturbability. In the case
of Mr. Stoll we are glad it's no worse
than Boston, at least for the present.
And while we feel, like every other
citizen of this town and county,
special pride in this honored son and
his appointment to high rank in the
military service, we regret to lose
his presence from among US, especi'
ally on a mission of the kind he goes
to fulfill and may yet take him-we
know not where before it terminates.
But those of US who know and love
him best have this consolation: that
wherever he may be ordered to duty
he will perform that duty like a
without fear or favor-just
as he filled the office of Solicitor OF
the Third judicial circuit of this
State since his election in 1908.
: We are proud of Philip H Stoll
as a citizen of Kingstree. We con.
graduate him upon his appointment
to this high office in the United
States army; we sympathise with
those to whom he is nearest and
dearest and will miss him from the
family circle and the freside's even
ing glow and we pray that every
blessing may rest upon him and that
in.. due season he will return to then
and to US.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES
AFIBLD. April 2S-British troops
have turned the German 'Wotan line
Half of the village of Oppy-believ-
ed TO be the nOrthernmost town or
the German defense front--was cap
tured today in desperately hot fight
ing.
Arleux, a trine further to the north,
also fell to the tremendous British
assault.
Information from other sections of
the British front reaching the spot
from which this dispatch is written,
detailed fighting on a tremendous
scale of intensity
Around Oppy and Arleux it was still
progressing after night Of never
ceasing clash. The armies on both sides
swayed back and forth In tho struggle.
But the latest report today showed the
British still in possession of half OF
Oppv and all of ArleuX-and beating
back desperate German counter attacks
Around Gavrelle, llaig's offensive was
still gaining ground A steady stream
of prisoners from this bloody angle were
being shifted back of the lines.
To the south, as part OF his gigantic
push. Haig's troops were thrown toward
Greenland Hill. They stuck hard and
fast az massed German forces
swarmed over into German trench
running south of the Scarpe.
There they stuck fast despite tremen-
dous blows launched by the Germans.
Not even literal melting away of the
German attackers in the face Of murder
GUS machine gun fire and the steel cur
tain of British artillery stopped the des-
perate enemy counter-thrusts. The Ger
man losses are staggering in these at
tacSs.
At the present moment the most bit
ter fighting, however. was apparently
in progress in the woods 20 the west
OF Roeux-iust above the Scrape.
There the forest was literally being
moved down by artillery fire and the
moss-stained red with rivulets OF
blood as the Germans madly attacked
were locked in bitter conflict. then
thrown back, only to reform and at
/ tack again. Meanwhile the British
inched further and further forward.
