Ships to transport $4,000 Czecho-
Slovaks from Vladivostok to the
United States on the way to the
trenches in France will be asked or
President Wilson, Captain Vladimir
S. Hurban, said here today. The
captain has credentials to show that
he had been delegated by the Czecho-
Slav forces in Russia as a special
emissary to President Wilson to OBJ
tain the necessary transports.
There are $1,000 Czecho-Slovaks

want to get into the very first trench
es and punish the vandals who are
upholding the hand Of Austria. We
cannot fight Austria as we are prac-
tically unarmed. But we can gel
equipment in America and France
and then our forces of 5000 will be
at the service Of the allies and hu

CALLS FOR AUGUST
WILL EQUAL JULY

Raleigh, July 25.-Calls for reg
istrants during the month of August
will be about the same as called out
during this month, according to a
telegram from Provost Marshal
General Crowder to the Adjutaant
General yesterday. The number OF
registartns, white and colored, en-
trained from the State so far this
month exceeds 1000, including
those for general and limited serv-
ice.
The first call for August for white
men, to be entrained for Camp Wads-
worth, Spartanburg, S. c., has been
increased from $500 to $500. They
are to be sent to camp on August
5 and on the same date 1000 colored
men will be entrained for Camp
Greene.
Local boards are instructed, in
the telegram sent by General Crow
der yesterday, to refuse releases to
registrants who apply for permission
to enlist in the navy, marine corps,
or the emergency fleet This prac-
tically precludes it was said yester-
day, future enlistments in the navy
of men who are within the selective
service age limits.
The calls from North Carolina
during July were for approximately
four thousand white and four thou
sand colored men for general serv-
ice and for about three thousand for
special and limited service. The last
number includes registrants who
will be called into service between
now and August /.

of bearing the mark of tiny hypo-
dermic puncture, however, his arm
had two holes of such size that the.
surgeon at first thought they wer1
bullet wounds. They had been made
by brutal German doctor, who had
thrust the large size syringe right
through.
The Chief of Staff declared that
the enemy was resisting desperately
on his sector, evidently to prevent
the using of boats and one lighr
bridge-later smashed by enemy
shellfire-left in the retreat. The
French had crossed the Marne In
some numbers on Sunday night, bur
heavy concentration of German
machine guns in this wood facing
them and tremendous shell fire
from the heights above Verneuil had
so far prevented the establishment
of bridges.
On Sunday night the northern SKY
was lit up by conaagrations where-
the enemy was burning supplies he
was unable to evacuate. Above Tre-
lou, in particular, there was re-
markable spectacle where tons OF
fuses, rockets and colored signaling
lights were thus destroyed.
The German retreat across the
Marne was skillfully affected, thanks
to the devotion of the rearguard,
who died almost to man. But an
immense quantity Of material was
abandoned, including two heavy
guns, which had not fired a shot,
owing to the impossibility of bring
ing across amunitions. Two six-inch
guns we're also recovered, which the
Germans had left with shell boxes
unopened. These we're immediately
utilized, and gave welcome support

London, July 25.-British troops
last night rushed forward in the
Rossignol wood in the Hebuterine
sector north Of Albert, tn eofficial
statement from Field Marshal Haig
announces. A few prisoners and six
machine guns were taken. South OF
illers-Brettoneaux the Germans last

On the western front between Sois-

work of the association in detail and
made strong plea for better news
papers and continued improvement
along all lines in the Old North State.
Mr.. Martin stated that he knew every
editor in the State was behind the
government to the fullest extent, and
that all would do their best in every
particular until the Hun is whipped.
The executive committee reported
on new members, Ave being admitted
as follows: ]. Leake Carraway, Char
lotte; w. G.. Campbell, Winston-Sal-
en-; w. j. Martin, Raleigh; X. M.
Allen, Gastonia; B. H. Butler, South
ern Pines.
President Martin then appointed
the following committee on the res
olutions: Archibald Johnson, H. b.
Vernar, and R. r. Clark; an the Sec
retary and treasurer's report, Wade
H. Harris, Lee B. Weathers and John
IT. Perkins; to meet and entertain,
Geoge Creel, Jas H. Caine, r. L.
Beasley and w. G. Dowd.
"The newspaper of tomorrow" Mr..
Martin said Twill be as different
from the newspaper Of yesterday as
the coming civilization will be differ
ent from the old world civilization
that Immediately preceded the great
upheaval, in the midst of which we
now struggle to find foothold in the
new world we are about to enter"
President Martin distinguished be-
tween the newspaper operated for
the public good and the newspaper
operated for private gain. The men
who come home from the victorious
battlefields of France, he said, would
not stand for the newspaper that fails
to put public service above private
interest.
"The press of the world he con-
tinued, Should demand nothing less
than that those who are responsible
for the murder of women and child
rem in this war shall pay for their
crimes in their own blood. The news
paper is the one institution that
ought to be the last to wish to COM
promise with these arch enemies or
free peoples and free press. For
the final test has come to determine
whether they or we shall perish from
the earth. Men have long debated
the old, old question, which is
mightier, the pen or sword? inc
war is deciding just that. And when
it is all over the world will know
which is mightier, the weapon of au-
tocracy or the weapon of democracy
the sword and the public press.

fifty newspaper columns in length
and will be prefaced with statement
by Abernethy setting forth the reas-
ons why he is making the race.
Many thousands of these state
ments will be scattered over the dis
trict. There are various conjectures
as to what will be the outcome OF
Mr.. Abernethy's candidacy. A rath-
er surprising theory that is held by
some is that Wheatly, the Republican
candidate will clay down" and make
no effort to capture the election,
while others say that is not the Re-
publican way of doing things and
holding that Abernethy's decision to
run means Wheatley's election.
Friends Of Dortch maintain that he
will be elected over both Wheatley
and Abernethy, while Abernethy men
say he can make such case before
the electorate that he will win the
election over both of his opponents.
Reports that Owen G.. Dunn, the
editor and owner of the afternoon
paper here, was slated for the posi-
tio1 of United States Marshal in the
event that Dortch is elected to Cong
ress is erroneous.
1t is Mr.. Dunn's brother, VIM.
Dunn, Jr., who has been mentioned
as the possible successor of Mr..
Dortch. He was the Dortch cam
paign manager for seven counties in
the primary campaign.

OF the Germans. Dress Up in

Neglect
WOUNDED AMERICANS

with the FrenCn Armies, July 20.
-"The Germans have again played
,, the trick of dressing units in khaki
and posing as American. They cap
tured one of our patrols thus on the
north bank of the Marne this morn
ing and a second patrol only just
spotted the ruse in time" said statf
officer of a French division engaged
along the line of the river to The
New York Times correspondent yes
terday afternoon. "They probably
stripped American dead or wounded
in the first days of the fighting, as
all accounts agree that hardly any
valid American prisoners were taken.
"Your men fought with eXtraor-
dinary resolution even in circum-
stances that appeared hopeless. One
body of twenty, led by Lieutenant
was surrounded on Monday to the
left of Conde Wood. They formed a
little center of resistance in corner
of the wood and held out until only
four with Corporal were left alive.
On Friday we made counterattacK
led by baby tanks. The latter were
hampered by the density of the wood
the commander of the tank COM
pany in qestion later corroborated
this statement-bu we regained con-
siderable ground, and the five Amer
leans were able to join us.
For two days they had been with
out food or water, but the thought
Of giving in to the boches never
seemed to enter their minds. The
rcilus were greatly impressed by
their feat and gave our boys a regu-
lar ovation when they reached Conde
village"
COwardly Revenge by Germans.
The bitterness of the American
resistance led the Germans to take
cowardly reprisals against the
wounded who fell into their hands.
Mary Hoyt Wyborg, who is well
known in New York society and now
is nurse in French hospital at
Montmirail told of three Americans
brutally treated.
One had lain three days with bad
shell wounds in a little clearing
where ehboches passed continually
He was not actually molested, but re-
ceived no attention of any kind, and
only maintained life, until rescued,
by his emergency ration and sips
from his water bottle, which FORUM
ately was full. Several times he saw
enemy stretcher bearers tending
their own wounded, but all turned a
deaf ear to his appeals.
Another, with shattered knee,
was deliberately placed by his CAP
tors in the open ground before row
of shallow holes that formed their
firing line. Many times he escaped
death from the allied fire by a mir.
acle, and when found, after our ad-
vance, was in pitiable condition
Immediate amputation was the only
chance to save his life, but at present
he appears likely to live to tell the
tale. IT,
The third had his wounds dressed
and an antiseptic injected. Instead
