From week to week, from year to

Death Of Mrs. w. j. Knox.

(''Friend," in Tugaloo Tribune.)
On the morning Of January 90 the
death { rel saddened the home Of
w. j. Knox by taking away his low
ing wife, just in the prime Of life.
She was like the rose, one day. full of
life and beauty, and the next day
dropped and faded away.
Her health began to fail one year
ago Several doctors trated her, but
to no avail. AT last it was learned
she had fatal disease. Her suffer-
ing was great, but she bore it pa
tiently until the end.
To know her was to love her. Ter
last words were SO comforting to her
loved ones. She said she was per-
: fectly willing to go, if God saw fit
for her to. For His will must be
{ done.
We, believe she sleeps in the arms
Of Jesus in that home prepared for
7, her, where no pain and dread dis
eases ever enter.
She was taken to st. 'Mary's Hos
pital, at Anderson, ten days before
she died. Nothing could be done;
only to care for her until she was no
more
She leaves husband and three lit
tic children, mother, father, three
brothers and four sisters to mourn
her death. She was the second
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Wilton
Mason, Of Gross Roads.
Mr.. and Mrs. Knox were married
13 years ago.
Her body was brought from An
: .defson Monday following her death
and laid to rest in Bethel cemetery
to await the resurrection morn.

TWO KILLED; -FOUR WOUNDED.
Americans Suffer Losses ut Hands OF
Huns-One Missing.

With the American Army in
France, Jan. 31.-The American posi-
ton IN certain sector Of the French
front was raided during a heavy fog
shortly after daylight this morning.
The attack was preceded by a violent
artillery barrage. Two Americans
were killed, four wounded and one
missing, believed to have been can
tured by the enemy.
Casualties have been occurring al
most daily for some time. 1t is now
permitted to disclose that all recent
casualties given out iii Washington
occurred in this sector. The deaths
were caused by fire shell. mostly
shrapnel.
Last night was fairly quiet through
out the American sector. At day
break this morning the fog envelop-
ing the whole position became thick
jer. AT Z o'clock three muftled reports
sounded, followed by three she'll
bursts on three sides Of an American
listening post, within 45 feet of the
enemy listening post. "Then hell
broke loose" said one OF the mon
there.
Two Of the men were killed tho
first few minutes. 1t Is certain that
the enemy casualties from American
cannon and machine gun fire has
been as great or greater than ours.

AZ KILLED IN LONDON RAID.
l69 Are Hurt--Casualty List Largest
Since the Raid Last June.

LONDON, Jan. 29.--German air
planes made their first attack of the
year upon London and its suburbs
last night, their bombs innicting cas-
ualties officially reported as AT killed
and 169 injured. All the victims ex-
cept one Of the killed and seven of
the injured were in the London area.
NO serious material damage was
done, and the raiders suffered the
loss of one machine, which fell in
flames from height OF 10000 feet,
Its three occupants being burned to
death.
The loss of life in last nights raids
was the heaviest caused by any of
the new series of German aerial at
tacks, which began early this winter,
after a period Of several weeks in
which no such ventures were at
tempted. The casualty list is the
largest since the raid of June 18th,
when 81 persons were killed and 437
wounded.
The last previous raid was Decem-
ber Is. Ten persons were killed and
70 wounded.
Large Number of Raiders.
A large number of machines came
over the coast in relays, but appar-
emily only three or four succeeded in
getting through the barrage and
| dropped explosive Id incendiary
bombs into the town. The gunflre
lasted internationally through Ave
hours, and for two hours OF that
time was almost continuous. There
was an hours interval before mid
night, when no firing was heard en-
| cept an occasional distant gun off to-
ward the coast. Residents who were
| away from their homes at the thea
ters or in the shops when the raid
began concluded it was all over, al
though the bugles had not sounded
"cl""r" signal. and more persons
were on the streets than usual at
midnight when the heavy guns be-
gan to boom again in warding off the
second Of the two attacks.
The British fiers were more active
than ever before, having gained in
experience in night flying. Besides
the Gotha brought down by British
scouts over Essex, one was pursued
over London by the scouting forces
and the rattle Of machine guns in
the air was plainly heard from the
streets.
The night was one Of absolute
clearness. There was a full moon,
| and no clouds or wind. The popula-
tion had ample time for securing
shelter, adequate warning having
been given.
"With Good Efect,s' Says Berlin.
Berlin, Jan. 29.--'aBombs were
dropped with good effect OH London
and Sheerness," says German off,
cial statement issued to-day, report
ing the German air raids last night
on England.

Paris, Jan. 31.-Twenty persons
were killed and fifty injured in last
nights air raid, it was announced Of
ficially. One Of the German machines
was brought down and the occupants

LARGE NUMBER
OF SHELLS DO
NOT EXPLODE
Germans Believed to be I'm.
able to Take Good Care
Against Dampness.

With the American Army in
France, Sept. 6, Correspondence OF
the Associated Press. )-American ar
tillery officers estimated recently that
at certain stages Of the German re-
treat north of the Marine from fifty to
seventh per cent Of the shells fired by
the enemy ia: ed to explode. One
night after the Germans crossed the
Vesle the enemy fired seventy-two
shells of large calibre into a wooded
tract where American troops were
supposed to be quartered and artillery
8 experts of one of the divisions engage
ed reported hat only four of these
shells had exploded.
One of the American officers sug-
gested- tina the German shells were
~deteriorating. There had been day
after day of rain during the retreat
and it was believed quite possible that
in the withdrawal the Germans had
not beer able to take the usual pre-
cautions against dampness, the result
being that many projectiles from
some of the big guns failed to ex-
plode. One officer suggested that
possibly the Germans had been firing
old shells rather than no shells at all,
the officers realizing that only a few
Of them were exploding, but prefer
ring to. keep the big guns pounding
away merely in an effort to keep up
the morale Of the men putting up the
rear guard fight.
The average number of faulty
shells generally is from two to six
per cent

Summary
(By the Associated Press.)

It SENS probable that a new and

armies in France will be the Allies

by Austria on behalf Of the central

From the sea to the Swiss frontier
there is a tension which may forebode
another development Of Marshal

points Of vantage from which to
launch their next assault.

Metz has Strengthened Its lines across
the base of the st. Mihiel salient. 1t

it is expected the Americans will not
give the enemy much time to recup-
crate before delivering a new blow
against this bastion Of the German -po-
sitions on the western front.
In the Vosges region there Is great
activity by the enemy. who Evidently
expects the American legions there to
attack the German lines to the west
Of the Rhine. In this sector Of the
battle front the Americans are stand
ing on German soil and an assault
there would, if successful, carry the
war nearer to the heart Of Germany
thar elsewhere along the line. The
country to be traversed by an attack
Ing army however, is very rough and
lends itself admirably to defensive OPP
%erations.
Marshal Foch, however, may elect
to strike to the west of Verdun where
the German positions have been seri-
ously shaken by the American victory
at st. Mihiel. An attack from Rheims
to Verdun was expected three weeks
ago after the British and French ad-
vance in Picardy and Santerre had
slowed down. It would have far reach
ing effect, if it should succeed. and
probably would compel a German re-
treat from the region north of Rheims
as we'll as a relocation Of the enc
my's lines around Verdun, which is a
sector that seems to be vital to the
enemy's position in eastern France.
In the Flanders area the British
have nearly reached the lines they
held when the Germans launched their
attack in April on each side Of Armen-
