The British are fighting their way
into the center of Valenciennes and
are facing a strong enemy machine
gun fire from The east bank of the
Scheldt canal flowing through the
city.
The British have forced their way
almost through Raisnes forest, north
of Valenciennes. Recent rains have
slowed progress on the front from
Bowen and Valenciennes 10 Runai

the last few days have been following
the iacics of retreating in the dark

guards until noon the next day. Then

FORD TRACTOR DOES
SOMERSAULT; DRIVER
ESCAPES UNINJURED
George StahIIng Has Thrilling Ex-
perience At Sockets Hill With
Tractor And Trailer

People in the vicinity OF Sockets
Hill gasped in amazement the other
day when they observed Ford trac-
tor do a backward somersault at the
foot of the hill. They gasped again
when they saw the driver of the trac-
tor emerge from beneath it with no
apparent injury.
George Stahling was the driver, and
he isn't able TO explain yet just how
he happened to escape injury of some
kind He is more interested in being
thankful than in finding explanations,
however
Stahling drives for Philip Barber,
of Taylorsville. He had been down to
the sawmill at Davidsonville for a
load of lumber which he had loaded
onto a trailer drawn by the tractor
When he arrived at Sockets Hill he
threw his engine into second speed to
make the ascent. The load of lumber
on the trailer proved to be too heavy
apparently, for the tractor and the lat
ter gave spasmodic leap in the air,
turned completely over backward, the
radiator of the tractor striking upon
the trucks of the trailer, and the as
tonished driver went with il.
Mr.. Stahling was uninjured and the
tractor. beyond a broken steering wheel
and other slight damage, suffered little
by the unusual experience.

STREETS FILLED BY
CHRISTMAS SHOPPERS
Business Brisk In Stores And
General Christmas Spirit
Pervades City
BUY CHEAPER AT HOME

Christmas shopping is on in earnest
in Annapolis. The merchants say
they are doing a greater business than
ever. The stores are crowded from
early morning until evening. A few
of them are kept open until o'clock,
thus giving the day workers an oppor
tunity to do their Christmas shopping,
but there is a desire on the part of
shoppers that other stores fall in line
these last shopping days before
Christmas and keep open at night as
least until 9 o'clock.
Many things in Annapolis are priced
below the cost of the same articles in
Baltimore A Main street merchant
said yesterday Baltimore lady was
in his store and bought eight pairs of
gentlemen's hose, which she said she
could not duplicate for the same price
in Baltimore.
Another Main street store sold a
Baltimore lady twelve pounds of candy
the quality of which she told the pro-
prietor she could not buy in her home
city for the same price.
Christmas toys were never more
beautiful nor was there a greater va
riety than this season, and it is rec
ognized fact that these are far below
the cost of the same articles in Bal
timore stores.

CALL EXPLAINED
Local Chapter Makes Clear Question
OF Previous Membership Pro-

Officials of the local chapter of the
Red Cross call special attention to the
instructions received from Washing
ton as to handling unexpired member
ships in connection with the Red
Cross Christmas roll call.
1t is pointed out that under rulings
from national headquarters only MEM
berships accepted after September l,
1918, will be considered as 1919 men,
berships and counted as part of the
chapters Red Cross Christmas Roll
Call enrolment.
If in canvassing for renewals, the
present member raises the point that
he or she is already a member-that
his or her membership does nor expire
until sometime in 1919, it is to be ex
planned that Red Cross Christmas
Roll Call member really becomes a
member for the entire year of 1919.
Such members ale to be asked court
ously 20 waive uneXpired portions Of
their mcmbershius, or urged to take
out new memberships for some other
member of the family
If the member does not desire TO
take Roll Call membership for the
calendar year 1919 on this basis, the
matter of renewal is not to be press
ed Red Cross membership being pure
ly voluntary proposition.
1t is also pointed out that full mem
berships will be welcome from chill
dren and every member of the family,
but that children may join through
the regular Junior Auxiliaries, which
in this county are under the charge of
Miss Kelly. supervisor of schools. The
children's membership through the
auxiliaries is only 25 cents.

in the negative dismissed the boy from
the Office. Later he entered the cap

CAPT. MOSS RECEIVES
GERMAN WELCOME ON
ENTERING HUNLAND
Writes Letter Home Giving Interest
ing Account OF American 0c-
cupati0n of Germany

Judge Robert Moss and Mrs. Moss
were much relieved today when they
received letter from their son, Capt.
X. Graham Moss, Thirty-eighth Infan-
try, U. S. A., the first they have had
since October 9Th. The pressing work
which Capt Moss has had TO perform
and the slowness and congestion of
the mails were responsible for the
delay.
Capt Moss is we'll and in splendid
spirits He is acting as occupation
officer of his regiment, which marched
through northern France and Lux
emburg, and is now in German terri
tory pressing towards the Rhine. He
is mounted, which is much to his lik-
ing, and is the first member of his
command to enter cities and other
places which are TO be occupied.
These important duties produce
many interesting incidents. In the
suburbs of the first German town
which was entered, the burgomaster
with hugh cigar, which, the official
said, he had been keeping for the first
Allied soldier he met. Many other in
teresting details of the advance were
given in the letter.
The Thirty-eighth Infantry, to which
the captain belongs, has taken part in
all three of the great offensives in
which American troops have been en-
gagged, and has been cited as a whole
for gallantry. Capt. Moss has been
recommended for promotion. and has
been doing the work incident to a
majors rank for some time.
Capt Moss is now in the Army of
Occupation, and writes interestingly
of the advance into towns and villages
where people locked doors, until they
found out the soldiers were Ameri-
cans
From the Americans they will not
take money for any favors but will ac-
cept food. One old woman told
Capt. Moss she had not tasted meat
or eggs for two years, that the Ger
man officers alone had INDUCED in
that luxury
Capt. Moss says in his letter they
march into towns and villages with
bands playing and colors flying, and
the Army of Occupation is making the
kind Of a "drive" that every soldier
would like to make. 1t is a regular
outing.
The captain writes regretfully of
his first Christmas spent away from
home, and says he will be with the
family in spirit especially in the old
Christmas eve service at ST. Anne's
which they all love. He closes his
letter hoping TO spend the next Christ
mas at home, and asking the family
to "Whoop things up to make it a real
Christmas"
