KILLED AT MT. AIRY

Mount Aiary, Va, July 24.-Ona
of the most shocking crimes in the
history of this section was committees
about three miles northwest Of this
city last night when band of Car
roll county moonshiners shot up the
home of Riley Easter. killing him
and injuring his. little grandchild
Margaret Hicks. AS a result little
mountain home Is in mourning and
six men are confined in Jail here
charged with murder. The men,
John Hicks, Sherman Hicks, Joe
Bowles, Gardner Cain, Joe Cain and
the latter's son, all living across the
line in Carroll county, Virginia, who
it is alleged, had been engaged in
making whiskey. Their outfit, 1t ~
said, was located over here in Surry
not very far from Riley Casters
home. -
Last week someone reported the
still and early Sunday morning
Sheriff Bolton went up and got it.
When it was missed the moonshiners
it is stated, accused Jim Easter, son
of the dead man, with having stolen
it and are alleged to have told him
that if the outfit was not replaced
by last night that they would set
tie it with him. not much import
ance was attached to the threat until
last night when the men, It Is alleg-->
ed, appeared at the Easter home
about II O'Clock and when Riley
Easter opened the door and invited
them in he was answered with YER.

| Winchester rife and shot gun. A
pistol bullet entered the lower part
Of his abdomen, passed through the
intestines and came out at his left
hip, resulting in his death few
| hours later.
The house, small two-roomed
boxed up cottage, was filled with bull
let holes and the fact that most OF
the shots were fired from cheap re-
volver, not powerful enough to PEN
citrate the walls, doubtless saved the
lives of the women and children in
the house. One bullet, fired from a
powerful gun, went through the wall
and struck Margaret Hicks, little
seven-year- granddaughter OF
Easter in the back. She was wrap
ped in heavy blankets at the time
and the bullet had so far spent itself
that it did not penetrate the flesh
but raised an ungly knot within an
inch of the child's spinal cord.

THE AMERICANS AND AL
LIES CONTINUE TO AD-
I VANCE.

Amsterdam, July, 24.-Germany
has made suggestions for peace con-
ference to the Spanish Government,
says the Socialist paper Vorwearts.
The suggestions are that Germany
will insist upon no annexations Of
territory nor ask for indemnities on
the western front. The peace treat
les with Russia and Roumania are
not to be questioned.
The principle of self determine
tion of the peoples has not been dis
cussed but may be discussed and set
tied at the conference when the fu-
ture of Belgium will also be settled.
Balkan question is to be settled
around the conference table.
The freedom of the seas, the dis
mantling of Gibralter and the status
of the Suez canal and the right OF
Germany to use coaling stations will
also be discussed.
The Colonial question is to be set
tied on the basis of the status quo.
The Vorwearts says this proposal
seems to be a reasonable one.

HUN OFFENSIVE HAS FAILED

Washington, July 24.-An official
dispatch today from Switzerland says
the German newspapers not only ad-
nit that the German offensive has
failed, but express the fear that Gen
eral Foch has built up an army Of
reserves that will enable him to
wrest the offensive from the German
high command.
The. Frankfurter Zietung asserts
that the entire strategical plan of
Hindenburg is compromised by the
attack on the Aisne-Marne front.
Something new appears in the
strategical situation" says this paper
General Foch has been able to form
an important army Of reserves.
.Foch's attack aims to deal blow in
the back of Boehm's army and should
it be successful it might compel his
army to retreat under most unfavor-
able conditions.
"Foch's attack threatens the whole
of Hindenburg's plans"
The Strassburger Post says the
public had, in general, attached too
great hopes to the German offensive
at Rheims and asks: From where
do these troops come that the Amer
cans have really brought more quick
ly than they expected"
The Munchener Neuste Nachrich-
ten says France is still very strong;
that America has more than hall
million soldiers in France and that
the English army has been recon
structed and put into perfect state
It adds that it will take weeks, per-
haps, to wrest the initiative from
General Foch.
The Koelnische Volks Zietung says
the fact must no longer be hidden
that German deserters made use oi
their knowledge of the plans of oper'
alton to betray their country.

WILL ASK CONGRESS FOR
BIG INCREASE CT ARMY

Washington, July 24.-Secretary
Baker announced today that on the
reconvention of Congress he would
present his request for new appro-
priation plans for modification of the
draft ages and somewhat larger
military mobilization.
The plan concerns the mobilization
of huge American army, probably
upwards of 100000 men. No an
nouncement was made as to whether
the draft ages are to be lowered or
raised, but 1t is known that the pre-
vailing judgment of the Secretary's s
advisors is to lower them.

alias Buck Allen, Wake county ne
gro sentenced to thirty years in the
States prison in 1909 for murder in
