THE EUROPEAN WAR.
Britishand Italians Gaining Front
Hinderberg Line Broken
Allies Encouraged

Reports that 5000 Germans
were captured and the Hinden-
berg line broken in northern
France by massing tanks and
secrecy of movements has en-
couraged allies all along the
western line. Added is the re-
port that a great battle is being
fought in Italy and that the al
lies are holding their own on the
front.
Air Craft has played but little
part in war for several days.
Russia is engaged alone with
her own troubles but a seperate
peace has been offered by the
ruling powers there'at this time.
The controversy in England
between the premier and ex-
premier is considered settled. A
commission or board to handle
the war is strongly advised in
accord with the suggestion of
President Wilson. 1t is certain
now that our president has in
sisted that unity among allies
must be without delay.
More American boats have
been sunk than reported until
this week and the policy of max
ing public at once anything of
interest to the American people
will likely be adopted.

Y. N. c. A. DRIVE
Appeal For Funds Fully Met
County Meetings Held
Now Red Cross.

The response to the call for
contributions for Y. M. C. A..
use in providing entertainment
and safeguards for our soldier
boys was great everywhere and
the millions asked for by the or
iginators of the idea were more
than realized.
The meeting at the Baptist
church Sunday night was i'm
mense. The appeals made by
rrsKe speakers awoke sentiments
lin the minds of the audience
which had never before been
aroused and many who felt that
they had parted with as many
dollars as they could afford for
war purposes of all sorts. under
the influence of the penetrating
presentation of the purposes and
claims of Y. M. c. A. dug up
cheerfully again. Mr.. Sam Jor-
dan spoke in a general way of
many things but particularly of
the origin and accomplishments
of the Y. M. C. A. Hon. R. w.
Rucker bafmonized the Y. M. G.
A. and Red Cross and explained
the life Of the boys in the
trenches and camps and how in
each the provisions undertaken
for their entertainment would be
utilized and enjoyed. Elder
Crutcher crowned the appeal for
means for the organization by
vivid word pictures of the life of
the soldier as well as probability
of finding something harmful
because nothing harmless was at
hand. He made it plain that if
we do not provide the right
things the boys would be apt to
seize anything within reachs
good or bad, and the response
indicated that the congregation
felt as he did.
From what we have been able
to gather, the total raised for
the Y. M. C. A. in the county
was $42S3. 90. Brunswick reach
ed the front with about $500,
Dalton with $40O, this city with
1855 and Salisbury over $500.
Now lets applaud and help every
way we can the Red Cross. col
lectively and individually and
talk and gossip and tell funny
stories to the fair face behind
the thread and needles or chop

tics until what is being knitted

hunt for one disengaged; they, |

Pat won Out

The Circuit Court, Judge Davis
sitting as special Judge in the
case of State Of Mo. against Pat
Thrash on charge Of violating
the local option law tried Tues
day. held that the local option
law was in force in this County,
the election of 1912 being void
because called within four years
ef another election called for
the same purpose.
At the election in this County
in 1908 the drys won. In 1912
the vets had a majority. In
1913 the drys caused another
election and won aud upon the
evidence submitted to the Su.
preme Court the election of 1913
appears to have been considered
invalid. That left the County
wet. Alleged offenders since
the Supreme Court decision were
put on trial on the result of the
1913 election and the question
of the election in 1912 having
been called within four years
after the 1908 election was rails
ed and Judge Davis gave it as
his opinion that A years had not
elapsed between those two elec-
items hence it was that Pat
Thrash was tried under the law
as established by the 1918 cleo
tion. The evidence however
against Pat was not regarded
by the jury as being conclusive
beyond a reaso 1able doubt and
he was found not guilty.
Pat had an interview with the
prosecuting attorney and inn
portuned that officer to have
something on him or ,et him
alone" as he was tired of being
yanked up before the public eye

ed charges. The prosecuting
attorney offered to let upon him
if he would leave the state and
never return. Pat said he was
not ready to go and besides one
more year would let him and
everybody else out of being pes.
tered by the present incumbent
forever, so he couldn't accept
the kind offer, with thanks.
Judge Davis said the point |
raised before him was a very
close one and he preferred that
the court of Appeals pass on the
question and decided the point
as he did because the state did
not have the right of appeal.
Of course since Pat Thrash was
not convicted the matter will
nave to remain where it is until
The prosecuting attorney can
secure a conviction and a victim
who will not be satisfied with

The Text teach US that at one

cause this Pure Language was
taken away,
And now Adulteraued with i'm

point is that we are taught by
our Text, that the Language of

2nd point is that God IS going
to turn a Pure Language to the

the people all shall serve God
with one consent, and that too
for the reason that God has
