GERMANS
ON PICARDY FRONT
BLOW DELIVERED ALONG FRONT
OF THREE MILES TO DEPTH
OF ONE MILE.
BRITISH FORCES ARE ACTIVE
Austrians Revolt in Serbia as Does
Turkish Garrison in Asia
Minor.

Striking the Germans on q front
that has been quiet for the past six
weeks, the French have once more
broken through the enemy defenses
and advanced their lines. This new
blow at the enemy was launched be-
tween Castel and Mailly- Raineval, on
the Picardy front, southeast of
Amiens, where there has been but
little fighting since the French by a
local attack pushed the Germans out
Of Senecat wood late in May.
The attack was along front of
approximately three miles. 1t swept
the Germans back out &C the village
of Castel and the Anchin farm, about
mile to the south, and cleared out
number of strong enemy positions
The French penetrated the German
lines to depth of more than a mile.
The American attack on Cantigny,
some time ago, advanced the line ma
terially at that point, while the Aus
tralians and Americans on July 4 and
6 cut deeply into the German lines at
Hamel and Villers Bretonneaux, south
of the Somme. The French attack
was launched at a point between pO-
sitions of the Americans at Cantigny
and the Australians further north.
Between the Marine and the Aisne,
the French have continued their Of
,fensive operations. 1t is reported that
the village of LongpOnt, south of
Corey, the capture of which was re-
ported ON Thursday, has been taken
by General Petain's men who have
also made progress north of Corey, at
the Chavigny farm. East of Fa-
verolles, according to the French Of
fetal statement the allied lines have
been advanced, this marking a south
er1y extension of the fighting line
which has heretofore not been une
usually active farther south than
Longpont.
On the British front there has been
spirited fighting, according to the
German official report which indicates
that from Ypres around the Lys
salient and down in the Picardy Sec
tor as far as Albert there have been
scattered attacks made by the British

AUTOMOBILE LAW IS VIOLATED
VioIators of the Law Are Liable to
Both Fine and Imprisonment
For Failure to Secure Tags.

More than ten thousand automobile
owners in North Carolina are viOlat-
ing the automobile law of the state
and are liable for fine not exceed
ing $50 each and imprisonment not
exceeding thirty days each.
This is the situation in North Car
DINA at present when only $4,000
automobile license tags have been is
used from the office of the secretary
Of state. There is no failure of the
supply, nor is there a greater de-
mand than the office could fill All
applications received had been ans
wered by one O'Clock in the afternoon
and more than thousand could have
been filed before closing time.
"a number of cars are being oper-
ed with a tag on the rear reading,
License Applied For" said Col. j.
,ryan Grimes, secretary Of state.
"This is hard to understand when all
applications filed in this office have
been filed. A number of tags, how
ever, have been returned from Char
7otte and post offices of other larger
towns in the state when no address
than the name of the individual
I'D the city was given. Occasionally,
the applicant merely gives his name
and city. It is impossible for this
office to determine his street address.
nd it seems a very small matter for
post office to accommodate such
persons by the use of a little effort
- the part of some of the clerks to
0ut on the full address and have the
mail delivered"
or thirty days now, the license
tags have been going out Those who
3 operating cars now on old tags,
on tags of license applied for are
plainly violating the law

United States Public Service Reserve
i'm North Carolina, called by State Dr.
rector T. L. Bland, of Rocky Mount
Nearly half of the counties of the

brought from Mr.. Allen, unqualified
approval as to personnel and appar-
emit fitness for the work. He had
high praise for the North Carolina
chairmen
Three things are absolutely neces-
sary," said Mr.. Allen. 1.-THE govern
ment has taken a hand to see that
there is no obstacle to the production
Of food, the manufacture of war ma
terials, and transportation. No one
wants to see other industries closed
DOWN They have good money invest
ed in them. They are useful. But If
they drain the necessary industries Of
men and stay the hands Of the govern
ment in winning the war, then they
must be curtailed or, if necessary,
stopped"
The Public Service Reserve and the
United States Employment Service
work side by side, each complement
ing the work of the other, he explain
ed. The function of the Public Ser
vice Reserve is to enroll men who are
engaged in. non-essential work, or in
no work, and to keep in present jobs
those who are essentially employed.
The enrollmen of the Public Service
Reserve is drawn upon by order from
the United States Employment Serv-
ice, which deals directly with the es-
sential enterprises needing men.

REFUSES TO SERVE
ON COUNTY BOND COMMITTEE

Norfolk, Va, Feb. 4.-~G. Tayioe
Gwathmey and 3. Burnell Bragg have
declined TO serve on the committee
recently appointed by the Norfolk
County Democratic association to pre-
pare for submission to the general as
sembiy the bill which will authorize
the issue by the county of bonds in
the sum OF one million dollars. for
the principal purpose OF improving
county roads and bridges,
Mr. Gwathmey stated yesterday
that he declined 10 sit on the COM
mittee for several reasons. the chief
one being his opposition TO the issue
Of bonds by the county, in the face
OF the request Of the United states
government that such forms OF in
debtedness be stunned. during the
continuance of the war
The fact that the cost of construc-
ton work and materials are now ex-
brilliantly high and that the market
for such bonds as are proposed TO be
issued liz so low that the paper must
pecessariiy be disposed of at a sacri-
nee give additional force to this rea-
son.
He pointed out that there were only
about one hundred and fifty taxpay
ers present and that the action taken,
If the bond bill should become a law,
will have the effect of imposing
heavy burden of debt on the county
and will require a marked increase
over the present tax rate for the pay
ment OF interest and the retirement
of the bonds.
