If thn cc1+antions rs set forth by

Mr.. Abernethy claimed Monday that

Correspondence of The Robesonian:
) Gaddysville, (Fairmont, p. u, June
3.-Sou Jacobs, or Oscar Jacobs, is
captured at last! Jacobs ran away
from the army some three or four
months ago and evaded the officers
until Friday night, when Rural Po-
liceman Carper and E. D. Miller nab
bed him on Gaddy's mill dam across
the South Carolina line. Jacobs was
apparently having a big time: as l.e
was doing some old-time dancing
when caught, and had often remarked
that he'd never be arrested. There
| was a $50 reward for him. We 40
not know whether the police took
| him from the Rowland cab0oSe to Co.
lumbia last night or not. Those wE)
are mean enough to desert the army
had just better not come into the
Robson officers way, for they'll get
them. Its going to be tough time
with the deserters during this war
! Crops are looking we'll now and the
farmers are pretty well up with their
work, except cutting wheat and oats.
Wheat does extra well this year.
Doubtless the tobacco crop will be
the shortest in many years, consider
ing the amount set out, for it's all
far below the average, and is bloom
ing in spite Of all the growers can do.
The health Of the community is
about the average. Miss Mamie But

while the others are somewhat i'm

Creek academy, telling me there are
227 of the Buie's Creek students in

1900 Germans. Four months, five
months after Rawlinson began his at
tack from Gommecourt to the Somme
he had not advanced seven miles But
since August II Byng has made twenty
mites from the west bank of the Ancre
to the Canal du Nord and Rawlnson
twenty-five from southeast of Albert to
Peronne.
To-day the real area of interest is
that east of Arras and Lens and west
OF Doual and Cambria. Here the Brit
lsh are close to the arteries that feed on
the little veins along the whole German
front from Lille to Laon If these ar
te1les are severed, then all the front thew
serve by means of the veins radiatinp
from them will be starved destroyed
and before this happens the Germans
must retire to the frontier.
Nor is this threat to Cambria and to
Douai the only menace In the past two
days Mangln has been at it again driv-
ing northward against the st. Gobain
forest, against the very keystone of tho
arch of German power in France. Horne

that the right to sue for the loss Of
goodwill, over and above the compen-
sation allowed in the Federal control
act, ought not to be specifically denied to
them in the contract 1t is contended
by the Director General that the COM
pensation provided by Congress-name-
ly, an amount equal to the average
annual net earnings in the three years
ended June 80, 1917-was intended to
include everything, and that it must
necessarily have been thought to cover
the loss of goodwill, since everybody
knew that the purpose Of taking over
the railroads was to unity them and
abolish for the duration of the war
all the vanities of individual enterprise.
1T is impossible to say offhand where
lies the balance of merit in this dis
pute. There is much in what the Di-
rector General says, that, with all their
goodwill intact as it was the railroads,
comparing figures with a year ago,
would now be S136, 100000 worse off
in the hands of the owners than they
are in the hands Of the government.
owing to the rise in wages, material
and all operating costs. The showing
probably would be even much worse,
because the private owners would not
have been able to advance freight and
passenger rates as the government has
done.
The business is much too complicated
for popular discussion. The Railway
Executives Advisory Committee, which
helped to draw it, has indorsed the con-
tract, thereby apparently disagreeing
with the proprietors. Nobody will weep
for the propretors--not so long as they
are in the keeping of Samuel Inter
myer What will interest every person
more is this: If the government and the
owners are unable to agree upon form
OF contract under the Federal control act
how shall their conflicting interests be
dlsentwined and distinguished after they
have co-mingled for the duration of the
war?

The German Obsession

Once German always a German. He
does not remain German, as Captain
Corcoran remained an Englishman, "in
spite of all temptations TO belong to
other nations" He cannot conceive of
any one being anything else. This pecul-
larly German arrogance seems some
times to SAVIOR of hypocrisy. If England
for example, had begun a war of aggres-
sion, had waged it with every con-
ceivable brutality, it is hard to believe
that any responsible English statesman.
whatever excuses he might feel COM
PEELED to make, would pretend that an
English victory was necessary "if Eu-
rope is not to bleed to death and Eu
ropean culture sink into the misery of
