HEAVY FIRE
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

With the American Army in France,
Monday, Feb. lit was bright and
clear today and a considerable num-
ber of aircraft was over the Ameri-
can sector The enemy machines
were busy taking photographs and
making observations, and number of
air fights resulted. One group of
three enemy airplanes flew so low
that they became targets for anti-air-
craft and machine guns and were driv-
en- off.
The artillery continued active on
both sides. The enemy dropped
shells into villages behind the 'Ameri-
can lines, and the artillerymen re-
piled. Only one man was reported
wounded during the last twenty-four
hours. He was injured by bursting
shell in a village behind the lines.
Several American patrols reached
the enemy wire entanglements last
night without encountering any Ger
mans.

A campaign is being inaugurated
to raise $4,000 for McTyiere
school at Mckenzie. Committees
have been appointed and actual
work will begin soon. McTyiere
has always been a good school and
a splendid asset to Mckenzie, and
this call for funds, which means a
new school plant and many other
improvements, which will add to
the efficiency of the school, should
meet with a hearty response. We
hope to see the enterprise thus
launched successful and McTyiere
made a greater school than it has
ever been.

THIRD LIBERTY LOAN
Carroll County Doing its Part ia
Great Drive

This is the second week of the
great third liberty loan drive.
Carroll county has about come
over the top, meeting the demands
placed upon her BY those having
the great drive in charge. Her
quota was fixed at $l11,0OO. The
banks of the county got busy, and
in few days had taken 100000
of the bonds, and the remainder OF
the quota will be taken care of.
This prompt action upon the
part of the banks is a compliment
to them and to the financial condi-
tion of the people. While the
banks have taken the bonds, yet
it is the desire of the government
that they be turned over to the
people, and the banks will use
their influence in interesting the
people in taking as many of them
as possible. The larger the num-
Der of individual subscribers the
better it will please the govern
ment.
The fact that the banks took the
bonds promptly shows the great
confidence they have in the sta
bility of the government and the
splendid financial investment the
bonds offer.
Every bank in the county with
the exception of perhaps two, re-
sponded promptly to the call and
took the amount allotted them.
A committee has been appointed
in each district to take subscrip-
tions for these bonds and quite a
number heye been sold through
these agencies. By buying these
bonds you have made a good in
vestment and will help finance the
war.
In taking these bonds you are
not asked to give anything, you
are not asked to risk anything, you
are only asked to loan the govern
ment a little of your money upon
absolutely safe security at a fair
rate of interest that others may
defend the country against Ger
man rule.

A Big Rain

This county was blessed with a
fine rain last Monday night. While
Ia some sections it fell in torrents
and was accompanied by wind and
hail, it accomplished much good.
This was the first rain of any con-
sequence in several weeks, and the
land was badly in need of mois-
ture. In the southwestern portion
of the county there was much hail,
the ground being almost covered
with the stones. The rain was ac-
companied BY an electrical storm,
the peals of thunder and flashes OF
lightning being quite intense.

Tennessee leads the southern
states in the sale of war savings

there are communities that have

BAN TAKEN OFF
Hens Immunity From Sale Will
End Tomorrow

Hens have enjoyed immunity
from sale and the chopping block
for several weeks, but that i'm
munity ends with tomorrow, April
Doth.
1t is estimated that at least three
and quarter million hens, cap
able of producing eggs, have been
saved in New York, Chicago and
Boston markets alone since the
regulation was put in force on
February 90. Weather conditions
brought about an earlier Matching
and laying period than anticipated,
enabling the ban to be raised ten
days earlier than the time set.
Farmers are warned against
rushing their birds to market,
thereby Cutting the market and
bringing about heavy loss from
spoilage.

WAR SITUATION SERIOUS
Latest News Some Better for tine
Allied Forces

On going to press the latest news
was more favorable to the allies
than it had been for the last two
days. The reports Wednesday
were very discouraging. The Ger
man we're gaining, driving the
British back and had taken num-
Der of cities. But the latest news
showed the conflict turning in IA
vor of the allies. Several of the
towns lost had been regained and
it was claimed that the foe was be-
ing forced back at one or more of
the most vital points.
The battle has been raging now
for three weeks, and it has been
one of the most fierce ever fought.
1t seems that the battle is now be-
ing fought with more intensity
than at any time, and the advant-
age so far has been with the Ger
mans, but the allies are fighting
heroically and using every effort
possible to conserve their armies.
The Germans are lighting with
great relentlessness and with heavy
loss of man power.

MORE MEN CALLED
Army Program is Being Speeded
Up In Man Power

Another draft call for 49.843
registrants has been sent to the
governors of states BY Provost
Marshal Gen. Crowder. Mobili-
cation Of the men is ordered for
May and 10, the war department
announced, and they will be sent
to eleven forts and recruiting bar
racks, probably for training with
regular army units.
This call increases to more than
100000 the number of selectment
ordered to camp since late in March.
This is far in excess Of the monthly
number that would have been mo-
bilized under the original plan to
call 100000 men this year over a
nine-months period. Future calls
at the same rate would complete
the program before midsummer.
Under President Wilson's deter
animation to hasten dispatch of
American troops to France to re-
inforce the British and French
armies bearing the brunt of the
great German drive in Flanders
and Picardy, the whole program
of the army is speeded up. Only
a week ago Gen. Crowder ordered
mobilization of 100000 selectmen
for April 26 and their movement
to the national army environments
during the five days following.
Further announcements are ex-
pected to follow the return of Sec
rotary Baker from his visit to the
battle fronts and conferences with
officials of Great Britain, France
and Italy. Troops now are NOV
ing to Europe at a rapid rate and
this clearing of the training camps
will permit of the calling of men
much faster than was contemplated
before the German offensive made |
it imperative to rush men to the
battle front.
