u. S. VICTORY M4GN!FIED
SHRIEKS GERMAN PRESS


"a Copyright 1918. by Nc,U YorE; Times Co.
~ The Hague. Sept. 1o.-Repeated eff
\ forts to show that the St. Mihiel victory
was not a startling success is proof that
3the American bugbear is getting on the
Germans nerves. The LCkal Anzeiger
says:
"It was to be expected that the whole
Entente press would try to make a big
success out of the operations at st,
sMihiel when the American army fought
for the first time independently under
Pershing. Our hopes and expectations
Regarding the fighting capacity of the
tall-American army were somewhat pre-
.mature, as the German army did not
2 fight for a decision, but went back TO
prepared positions as soon as the evacu-
alton, which was being prepared for
days. was ready.
"In spite of reports of booty and VIC
tories. the Americans were unable to dis
turb the retreat of the Germans from
ST. Mihiel. In order to really endanger
kfhis the Americans and French would
have had to hold Combres heights and
Z to advance to the south in front of
ftThiaucourt. Combres heights were re-
4 captured, and to the south the American
y attack was brought to a halt in time
through the use Of reserves. The gap
( between the northerly and southerly
pcint Of attack remained wide enough
70 allow the garrison of st. Mihiel to re-
stire to safety.
81 "It is quite natural that the Amer.
4 leans should take prisoners during this
& attack, although the numbers given are
VERY exaggerated. The number of Ger.
mans missing does not nearly reach the
( number of prisoners announced by the
y Americans. Such falsehoods can only
sbe explained by the Entente's necessity
of painting the first American attack as
Z ! big success for political reasons. Even
Y the progress of operations between Arras
and scissors does not fulfill Foch's hopes
and expectations"

Two colored prisoners in the

Sunday night shortly after dusk.
They were allowed the use of
the corridor, and while Jailor
Reynolds was at supper, the man
and boy, with aid of a hack-saw,
escaped through a window. Mr..
Reynolds at once secured the
county bloodhound, and the dog
trailed steadily towards Hamlet.
In the meantime, Mr.. Reynolds
and others had gone by auto to
Hamlet and happened upon one
of the prisoners on the street;
when he arrived at the Jail with
his man, the boy was found there
also, the youngsters uncle hav-
ing returned him when the boy

This is the greatest of Thanks
giving Days. But this year a
good many of us began to be
thankful about three weeks ago.
The weight of a great anxiety
had been lifted from those whose
relatives have been in the war
service.
Truly ought the Nation today
as never before give devout
thanks to God. Every individual
should assemble at his or her
place of worship; and yet to far
too many the day will mean
nothing but a hunting, fishing
holiday! The pity of it.
Amid our rejoicings there
should sound a note of deep sym
pathy for those who have been
manned on the battlefield and
for the families of the killed. Nc
material sacrifice that our people
can make in the years to come
will ever discharge our debt tc
those who have lost health OF
bodily faculties in the most right
eous war that was ever fought.
But the war is now ended, anc
the victory should make of this
Thanksgiving a true memorial
Rejoice, o my soul, and let all
that is within me praise His holy
name"

144th Blockade Still.

Sheriff Baldwin has cut the
144th notch on his blockade still
record, and by one more still has
clinched his record as the best
still destroyer sheriff in the State.
He and deputy sheriff J. B.
Reynolds made a raid about II
o'clock Sunday night about 4
miles from Hamlet, in Marks
Creek township. The still was
in a swamp, and as the two were
cautiously tipping along a path
about so yards from the quarry
they struck a wire, or rather
fell over it, a bell at the end Of
the wire tangled and the block
aders fled. By the time the off
GERS rushed to the still, the soul
destroyers were several hundred
feet distant literally burning the
wind. The plant was of 60-gal
Ions capacity, in full blast, ane
had it not been for the clever
scheme Of obstructing the patti
with a wire and bell, the mer
would probably have been nab
bed.

In years to come the ending of
the influenza epidemic and end
ing of the war will have a parallel
meaning. The crest of the cpl.
demic in this State was reached
the last of October. Since that
time the disease as an epidemic
has subsidized; though it is expect,
ed that cases will continue all
through the winter.
About 5000 deaths occurred in
the State from this disease. Gas.
ton and Forsyth counties had the
heaviest toll-210 deaths each;
Wake had 203, New Hanover 164.
Richmond county had 81.
1t is estimated there were $780,,
600 deaths throughout the Nation
from this disease; it appeared tc
be deadlier in the crowded north
ern cities than in our more oper
Southland.
