Stockholm. Jan. oS.-The bitter cold
wave oversweeping Europe has mo-
mentarily paralyzed army fighting on
all fronts. Thirty civilians froze to
death in southern France. Neverthe-
less cautious military observers, not
ably sane commentator, Capt Noer-
regard are unanimously Of the opin-
ion that Europe is facing operations
which for extent Of violence and ter
ribleness will exceed anything the war
has hitherto brought,
Despite the cold. enormous German
concentrations approach completion.
Heavy trains with packed troops cease
lessly roll thru Belgium. Practically
all civil traffic is suspended. Ihe
same Is true in northern France from
Armentieres to Doyai
Even German observers. long accus-
toned to these swift colossal shiftinss,
confess Amusement over the extent OF
current movements and sober military
critics utter with hushed awe the
phrase, "Now comes the year OF Arma-
geddon." German civil circles do not
expect the offensive before the end OF
January or the middle Of February be-
cause the VaStneSS or preparations lol
bids earlier completion.
Capt. Noerregaard says: 1T will be
a struggle which even for those emery
ing victorious, II victors there are to be,
will cost such blood that it will weaken
them for decades
And he adds in his vivid style: But
it seems as If the fighters themselves
hesitate to open the witches dance for
which the instruments are tuning up.
AS long as the possibility exists that
this horror can he averted the nations
will hold back. Nevertheless, during
the respite at the front everybody Is
working feverishly and almost a mir
acle will be required to avert the ter
rible event"
Noerregaard declares the wars most
important pe-iod impends, hence the
most far reaching preparations.
Naval observers believe the entente
are preparing a great blow at sea, in
volving American resources, as the re-
suit Of the Paris conference. This and
Jellicoes retirement are believed to sig

the entente intends to strike the root
of evil by attacking the Germans

ion, successful attacks on bases in the
North sea would change the whole
course of the war, and nothing else
will.

Mr.. Gompers' speech to the miners
was regarded as labors message to

to think that the great transition from
peace to war could be made without

At the beginning Of the war 1t was
not always possible to clear up bat
tlefeld Of the casualties in less than
three Of four days. and on many iocca-
sions wounded men waited even longer
before their injuries could be handled
The result Of this was that large num-
bers Of the wounded succumbed from
gangrene or blood poison, or were
rendered SO feeble from loss Of blood
that they were unable to undergo OPP

It was at that time regarded as a sat
isfactory result when 60 per cent Of
the wounded brought into hospitals
recovered eventually from their in
juries.
This percentage Of losses among
the wounded men would at present be
regarded with horror by the military
surgeons, who now reckon with per-
feet assurances on saving about nine
tenths Of the wounded men coming
under their treatment. During the
battle of Flanders the percentage, OF
recoveries among wounded men

Secretary Baker said that he could
not comment on statement or the

for quotation:
The program of the department has

bers of men in France or anticipated

but we have made substantial prog

It was declared on authority at the
war department that the situation and
condition Of the American troops al
ready in France come up fully to CEN
eral Pershing's expectations. this gen.
eralization including also the construc-
ton operations. which are made diff
cult by the complicated questions OF
tonnage and Of supply from the United
States.
When General Pershing sent his first
battalions into the trenches with vet
eran French troops formal announce
ment of the fact was made here, with
the explanation that these units wero
rounding out their training course.
similar announcement, either directly
from General Pershing or from the de-
partment, Is expected when American
troops finally take over whatever sec
tor Of the battle line they are destined

Recent press dispatches from Gem
eral Pershing's headquarters have
shown that a considerable part OF his
force at any rate. now was regarded
as fully trained. The war department
has had little to say on this subject
There have been no hints dropped as
to when the American front would be
established but the impression Is
gaining strength here that the day is
not far distant.

OUR BOYS WHO WENT AWAY

With breaking hearts we sent them
forth
To answer their country's call;
Those noble lads in khaki clad, that
We might live in a land that's free,
Were willing to give their all.
Our hearts were heavy within US
AS we sent them away with q smile,
But told them we'd keep smiling and
working,
That they would be back in a short
while.
But our hearts are always with them,
Whether on land or on sea,
And many are the prayers that are,
offered
To heaven for those dear boys
Who are fighting for you and for me.
Yes, some today are fighting on the
battlefields of France,
And many more of our brave boys
are hurrying to join them
Across the wide expanse.
There is a long, hard task before
them, and they know it must be
done,
But our boys will never weaken
Until they have beaten and
crushed the Hun.
When at last it is all over, and our
boys come back across the sea,
There will be many proud hearts
to welcome them home,
After a glorious victory.
And we who have kept the home
fires burning
By trying to smile and work and
save,
Viii 1not be ashamed to face Old Glory
as she still waves Ger the.
Land of the Free
And the Home of the Brave.

WHY BOYS LEAVE HOME

The following article taken from
the Canton Enterprise may be applied
to Hendersonville as well as Canton,
inasmuch as quite a nubmer of boys
have left here and have gone to Vir-
ginia to work in a, powder plant.
Fancy prices for labor and a longing
for experience seems to have lured
them away from home.
Several days ago the labor agent
for a powder factory in Virginia sue
ceeded in convincing twenty-five boys
residents of Canton and vicinity, that
they were wasting their time here.
The chief allurement dangled before
their eye was the promise of higher
wages.
1t is very probable that those boys
will be far richer after a short stay
in the powder town than they have
ever been in their whole lives. But
it is almost certain their riches will
consist more of invaluable experience
than Of a generous additional supply
