II was quite generally assumed at the
time that these attacks were merely for
defensive purposes, to fortify the line
against a possible renewal of the Ger
man assault in this direction. There
were hints. however. that there might be
more important plans behind the per-
ssstent aggressive of the Allies.
= This front has been pointed to as the
logical one for an offensive stroke by
General Foeh when he considered the
time opportune to take the aggressive, as
It's success would pinch off the entire
Marne salient and If carried through
rapidly would inevitably result in the
capture of large numbers of the enemy
and quantities of his guns and material.
II cannot be told as yet whether such
. broad objective has been determined
upon by the generalissimo. The possi-
nility that it is merely a diversion to
draw off German reserves from the
Narne and Rheims fronts may be point
Cd to, and further details of the opera
ton and progress of the fighting VIII
have to be awaited before the definite
uurpose of the attack Is developed.

RISONERS POUR
IN AS BIG ALLIED
OFFENSIVE OPENS
Kaiser's Salient on Marne En-
dangered by Great Entente
Onrush
By the Associated Press


fatlat EbFIs, july 10
The French this morning delivered
m attack along the line from the river
Aisne as far south as the region of Bel
1eau, front Of about twenty-five miles,
and made progress at certain points of
between a mile and half and two miles,
the War Office announced today. The
northern point of the front of attack is
! the town of Fontenoy, nearly a mile
north of the river Aisne.
Early in the movement prisoners
taken in the advance began coming in.
Stop German Attacks
In the fighting on the front Of the
German offensive the French last night
stopped the Germans in the face of
violent attacks which the enemy
launched southwest of Nanteuil-la- -Fosse.
between the Marne and Rheims
~ This mornings Allied attack from
Fontenoy to Belleau represents what
apparently is an important strategic
move by General Foch. the Allied COM
mander -in-chies, to counter the Ger
man blow further along the Marne and
on the line to Rheims
The sector in which the attack was
launched includes a part of the front
held by the Americans. The American
line extended east Cf Belleau Wood
and on the northwestward at least as
far as Torcy probably some two or
three miles within the area mentioned.
The Franco-American stroke seems to
have made important initial progress.
and If further pushed. as 1t seems bound
to be, the entire huge salient created
~ the Germans in their previous drive
south of the Aisne and enlarged in their
present offensive will be seriously en-
dangered.
Thrusts Paved Way
II is along the line now under attack
that the notable series of operations
which Immediately preceded the start
at the present German offensive was
carried out by the French and Ameri-
Cans. according to an apparently we'll
cunceived plan of cooperation between
the two forces. Marked gains were
made by the French day after day in the
region southwest OF Scissors and far
tller south along the front edging the
forest of Villers-Cotterets.
The Americans. for their part. took
possession Of the entire Belleau Wood,
captured the village Of Naux, close to
ChateauThierry, and advanced their
lines notably to positions where their
guns commanded the villages of Bou-
resches, Belleau and Torcy, along the
ClIgnon River.

Peace to the World.

Save the Resurrection of Christ
from the dead, Monday was the
greatest day in the history of
the whole world. Beyond all
question a day of all days in
which to rejoice because of its
blessings to men. No child can
bring real JOY to its parents save
by upright living, nor can we
render thanksgiving to our Heav-
emily Father save by living our
living according to His
word. This is not a European
nor an American victory, but
one brought to all by Him IN
whose hand is lodged all power
in heaven and earth. Whose
ever shall fall on this chief cor
ner stone shall be broken to
pieces but upon whom it shall
fall shall be ground to powder"
Fer veriication look at Germany,
and those who have been asso-
ciated with her in this most hor-
rible of all wars.
The angels join with men in
ascription of praise and honor
unto the Christ. God by the
wondrous gift of world peace
sings again in human hearts: Joy
to the world; on earth peace,
good will to men,"
This is a call to each one of
us to love God with all our
hearts and our neighbor as our
selves. And now is the hour t.
ask Him to cleanse our hearts
from all things that would pre-
vent our obedience to this, his
greatest commandment. Bless
the Lord, o my soul, and all that
within me bless his Holy name!"
He, only, doeth wondrous things

AT the same time I would be oblig.
ed If you would convey to them from
me a very warm expression of the gov
ernment's appreciation of the splen-
did service they have rendered in min
istering to the troops at home and
overseas in their leisure time"

SOUTHERN CLERGYMAN
HOLDS VICTORY SERVICE
IN CAPTURED VILLAGES
Knights OF Columbus Worker Presides
At Meeting In Ruined Chapel
In France

Had it not been for Father James
Horton, formerly principal of the Mar
list College in Atlanta, Ca. but now
a volunteer chaplain with the knights
Of Columbus overseas. there would
have been no services in the little
ruined chaTEl Of st. Crepin in the
shell-torn town of Chateau Thierry
when the Yanks poured into the city
and drove the Huns back toward the
Rhine. The Knights of Columbus are
one of the seven war work agencies
to join in the United Wark Work
Campaign, November Ills, to raise
S17O,590, 900.
Father Horton was right up with
the vanguard of the on-rushing Ameri-
cans and, after the Germans had been
cleaned out of their cellars and ma
chine gun ambushes. the old Cure,
who had emerged from some unknoEn
hiding place, insisted on holding serv-
ice in st, Crepin's chapel to celebrate
the liberation of the city. ,&s
There were no vestments, no can
dies, no sacred vessels. But Father
Horton rode motorcycle back to the
headquarters of the Knights of Co
lumbus. secured the supplies needed
by the Cure and rushed them back
by automobile.
The services were held and no more
fervent Ts Deums ever were uttered
than those that went up from that lit.
tie shell-wrecked chapel in devastated,
but liberated, Chateau Thierry.

CARTONS TO SOLDIERS
Information Relative to Send
ing Packages to Soldiers in
France. Erroneous Report
in Some Towns.

A report has been in circula-
ton that parcels weighing as
much as II lbs could be sent to
soldiers of the allied armies" by
payment of the full postage. 1t
has been officially announced that
the reference to the allied armies
applies only to the armies of Eng
land, France, Belgium, Italy and
the smaller nations; and DO NOT
apply to our American Expedit-
ionary Forces. There are posi-.
lively only TWO ways of send
ing packages across: First, upon
written request approved by re-
gimental commander; they may
be sent at any time and weigh
not more than seven pounds; Sec
ond, under authority of the label
sent home by the soldier, which
covers a Christmas parcel not ex-
ceeding three pounds in weight
and is mailed through the Red
Cross. w..
This should definitely settle
the confusion arising as to wheth-
er heavier packages canjust now
be sent to our American troops
in France. Under no condition
can a postmaster accept for mail
ing any package except those
that come under the two heads
above mentined.
The labels from the boys are
coming in rapidly now. The
Rockingham Red Cross Chapter
has packed and shipped to date
Thursday afternoon at 4::3O 81
cartons. The time limit for send,
ing these packages expires Nov.
10th. The cartons are shipped
as fast as packed. Take your
label to the Civilian Relief Secre-
tary, Mrs. A. L. Mcdonald, in
the Richmond Insurance & Real
ty Co. office in hotel building and
get carton; then after filling it,
bring it TO the Red Cross Sewing
Room for packing.
The following 81 cartons have
been packed and shipped, to the
following addresses; of course the
words American Expeditionary
Forces, France" should be used
in writing these boys; and, by the
way, why don't you drop these
boys Christmas card NOW! Do
it, whether you know them or
not; it will make their Christmas
the brighter by knowing they are
thus remembered.

FOXVILLE

! The Foxville school closed last Friday
with delightful picnic. The interme-
mediate and primary teachers and the
| friends and neighbors plotted with the
| school children to give Mrs. Westcot a
surprise party Friday evening, making
! it an occasion whereby they could ex-
press by word and gifts the appreciation
| they had for her work of the past year.
Mrs Pirie, with all her cordial hospi-
| tally, opened her home and the affair
was a complete surprise. Mrs. Westcot
reluctantly agreed to call on Mrs. Prize
and help her little while and on arriv-
ing saw nothing to indicate a party, The
children were hidden in the garage and
while attention was drawn to Red Cross
work the children surrounded the house
and when the doors were opened, Behold
the multitude. And when they set up
a mighty cheer to do her honor, Mrs.
Westcot was so overcome with their APP
probation and affectionate gratitude
that she could but look her surprise,
mingled with love for them all Miss
Mildred Labounty then presented the
pretty and useful gifts in most charm
ing and touching manner, saying in part
1--WE, the pupils of the Fexvile gram
mar school, realize the hard work you
have done in our behalf this year, and
in our hearts we do appreciate your
kindness and forbearance. 1t has been a
year that will always stand out in our
memories as one in which was received
so much of true value. 1t gives me great
pleasure to be the honored one to pre-
sent you, my dear teacher, with these
tokens of our thoughts and the love and
and esteem with which We
all hold you" Mrs. Westeot's surprise
was so great that her heart was too full |
and her voice too husky to respond with /
much more than thank you" then, but |
when the ice cream was served she gave |
a most hearty toast 10 her pupils, fell |
