SUMMARY OF WAR NEWS
Germans Try in Vain to Retake
Positions From British-Ship-
ping Loss From Submarines
Lowest Since February.

Since the middle of last week the
German armies in Flanders daily have
been trying to wrest from the Brit
the recent big offensive of Field Mar
shall Haig.
AS on previous days, Crown Prince
Rupprecht Of Bavaria on Wednesday
unleashed large numbers of his troops
in an attempt to recapture terrain
on the Ypres sector where the Brit
ish are seriously threatening his COM
munication line with Ostend and the
submarine base at Zeebrugge. Ever
watchful, the gunners of Haig again
wrought havoc among the attacking
waves and dispersed the Germans with
| heavy casualties and retained all
their positions intact.
Renewed Drive Indefinite.
Therestill is no indication Of the
time set by Field Marshal Haig for
the renewal of his efforts to press on
toward and cut the Ostend-Lille rail-
way, but he is steadily keeping up
his pounding of the German trenches
with his masses of artillery of all
calibres.
Although the German war office
asserts that in Tuesdays fighting
along the eastern bank of the Meuse
in the Verdun sector the Germans
captured a comparatively long line o.
French trenches, the French officia
communication makes no mention O.
this and asserts merely that spirited
patrol engagements and artillery en-
gagements took place.
French Continue Reprisais.
While British and French airmel
continue their bombardments of tn
German submarine base at Zeebrugg
, and points of military Importance be
; hind the lines of the French aviator
are keeping up their attack on Ger
man towns and cities in reprisal fo

OBSESSED WITH THOUGHT
OF~GOING MAD
Pitiable Plight of MIR. Thomas
Benson of Bladen-Has Brood
ed Over Having Hydrophobia
From Bite of a Cat Until His
Condition is Puzzling.

Is he suffering with hyprophobia
or does he only think he is?
That was a question which puzzled
Lumberton people last evening when
Mr.. Thomas Benson of Bladen coun-
ty, who declared he was thus afflict-
ed, was put off the 6:19 Seaboard
train here. Passengers on the train
had become frightened at the mans
actions and the conductor thought it
best to put him off the train. Mr..
Benson was accompanied by his wife
and they had started for Raleigh,
where the afflicted man said he was
going to take the Pasteur treatment.
He declared that if he was put off
the train he would die. His whole
desire seemed to be getting to Raj
eigh.
Mr.. Benson declared that he had
not drunk any water for four days
and could not bear the sight OF It
He would ask for glass of water
and when water was carried to him he
would become nervous and ask that
it be taken out of his sight. The word
hydrophobia means fear of water.
It will be remembered by Robson
ian readers that Mr.. Benson and three
of his children were bitten by rab'
bid cat last June and went to Raleigh
and took the Pasteur treatment.
DR.. w. A. McPhaul, county health
officer, and some Of the other doctors
here examined Mr.. Benson and say
he is not suffering with hydrophobia
but has studied about "going mad
until he has just decided within him
self that he is "mad".
At times Mr.. Benson talked as i
his mind was unbalanced, but he main
tanned that it was not imagination
Whatever the trouble may be, he i
in bad shape.
Mr.. and Mrs. Benson returned t.
Bladenboro last night and he said n
was going to leave this morning TO
Raleigh.
