DEFENSE COUNCIL
PLAN MEETINGS
SERIES OF PATRIOTIC RALLIES
TO BE HELD IN SCHOOL
DISTRICTS
Male Citizens to Renew Allegiance to
Country and to Pledge All They
Possess

The necessity for the thorough Or
ganization of every county into force
for the prosecution of war activities
has become apparent. A County Coun-
Gil of Defense consisting of the Board
of County Commissioners, the County
Auditor and the County Superintend-
ent of Schools has been appointed by
the State Council of Defense.
They in turn have appointed men,
bers of Community Councils in each
school district. Community Councils
are designed for the purpose of carry
ing out plans for community meetings,
patriotic education through the dis
tribution of material sent out by the
Committee of Public Information, the
appointment of committees to COOP
crate with the Red Cross, Liberty
Loan Committees, Soldiers Relief
Work, etc.
In order to perfect the organization
of the Community Councils, and to
carry out the plan of the State Coun-
Gil of Defense to secure pledge or
allegiance to the United States gov
ernment from each voter in the coun-
ty series of Allegiance meetings
will be held in Dickey County the
week beginning May goth.
A volunteer group of seventy speak
ers, song leaders, readers and food
demonstrators has been secured. The
meetings in the vicinity of Oakes will
be presided over by Commissioners
Nelson and Skoglund. Dates for meet
ings are as follows:
Ludden, May %; Eaton School No.

Yorktown School No. May as; Gle
ment May q; James River Valley
School No. 2 May %; Oakes May 20.
Although most citizens are loyal to
their country and its cause in the war
the State Council of Defense considers
it advisable to secure from each male
voter a pledge Of allegiance to the
United States government. All male
voters will be required to take the fol-
lowing pledge:

an accurate count of his bag for the

including major, a captain and two
lieutenants, The sargeant assured the
commander he had "receipt" and
turned over pistol and a pair Of wire
cutters he had taken from the major.
Brown had narrowly escaped death a
number Of times, as his uniform was
torn with bullets. Early in the fighting

GERMAN DRIVE WAS

German Intelligence Work

By Ed T.. Keen.

London. July lS.-One of the chief
causes in the lack Of success in the

drive this year, is the great improve

is due largely to our steadily growing
aerial superiority, which renders even
partial surprises at this time impossi-
BILE.
Not only was the general locality, but
almost the exact frontage Of the pros
pective attack long known, enabling
the most effective counter preparations
among which was the massing Of suf-
fieient reserves without denuding the
lines to the north.
In these preparations, the extent of
the American participation cannot now
be entirely revealed.
Even if the present offensive is mere
ly checked, instead Of definitely held,
it must so far be considered an inglor-
ious defeat, inasnuch as despite the
lengthiest and most elaborate prepara.

were obtained.
The net result has been only isolated

held front positions without even dent.

the heaviest cost.
The early supposition that this drive
was probably "side show" now
Gems erroneous. British and French
military authorities generally agree that
developments show the German concen.
tration ON both sides of Rheims was too
great to allow effective operations any
where else until later.
