 Do that, you blighter," he said and faced about and was on his way down the road. They had it on the French man after that.
 This Philippe Pierre, of whom I have spoken. told me a story about two Limey officers that I hardly be- lieved, yet Philippe swore it was the truth. He had been in America before the war, and he said he had seen one of the officers that the story is about many times in New York.
 He said there were two Limey off cers going along the road arguing about the German shells which the Turks were using. One of the officers said they were no good because they did not burst. Just about that time shell came along and they picked themselves up quite a distance from where they had been standing. An other shell whizzed by and landed fiat on the side of the road. The officer walked over. dug it out of the ground, and took away the detonator and fuse ito prove that they did not explode

The Western Harvest

Decay and death have no place in thoughts of the amending fields of yellow wheat being gath cred to the western garner. With all it's own peculiar loveliness, summer has slipped swiftly into the past; and though autumn's habitual melancholy is intensi, fled by the heavy laden sorrows already come or impending, yet
 he saddest of us all rejoice over the rich harvest which, in spite of failure to reach the estimates hoped for, is of epic proportions. The first thought is of flour to feeo the allies, and the second is of grain as our staple in solid and enduring prosperity. The mil lions and millions of bushels means that millions will be fed. This is the dominate thought that comes home to mems busi- ness and bosoms. In no land can autumn be more joyous than in the lands which produce wheat. Manitoba Free Press.

 If a gnat gets through the M P's. at the big gate of Camp Pike 1t must carry pass on it's wings or body. The quarantine Is air tight as far as the entrance of ci vilians. and no one can come h unless he has telegram from Base hospital; carries special emergency pass from the Post Com mander or has some special 1 ly indispensable mission to per form. This has oeen made nec- essary to suppress the Spanish Influenza edidemic, which though in a light form, generally speak ing, is still causing great uneasi ness for fear of the development of pneumonia. All cases have been quarantined and isolated. so it is hoped that by stringent enforcement, the disease may be ] conquered in good time.
 Despite the number of men who are hawking and sneezing with the prevailing Sphiggotty l flu, there is time for many a good laugh at Y headquarters, when the GarkleS came to explain to their best girls why they cannot come to town.

Camp Pike Notes

First place was taken in the pentathalon field day held at Camp Travis. San Antonio, at the commencement exercises Of the Army Y. NJ. c. A. training school by the Arkansas delega tion at the September class. This is the story brought back to Little Rock by the 20 odd graduates of the class from Ar kansas, almost a bakers dozen of whom will be assigned to Camp Pike and other Arkansas camps. The Arkansas team won four out ot the five events. car rying away the scores in the baseball game; the potato race, the relay race and the standing broad jump. Texas won the tug of war by a narrow margin on account of the superior weight l of it's team. In addition, R. l.. Huddleston, Little Rock travel ing man, was chosen as Secre- tary of the class. Arkansas had 26 students of the 145 in the class and more than 20 were graduated with high grades.
 Following are the Arkansas men who were assigned to Camp Pike and other southern army camps from the September school: Charles M. Campbell: Little Rock, to Camp Pike; w. Hearn, ArkadelE hia, Camp Pike; B. F. Hopkins, Parkdale, Camp Pike; F. N. Henderson, N. Little Rock, Camp Pike; s. c. Holbrook Hartford, Camp Pike; E. L. Hud dleston. Little Rock, Camp Ira wis; L. J. Mcdaniel, Pine Bluff, Ell Paso; Dawson Miller, Little Rock, Camp Pike; R. F. Miller, Mena, unassigned; M. c. Mum, Philadelphia, Camp Beauregard; A. A. Poff. Jonesboro. New Or. leans; J. M. Purvis, Jonesboro, New Orleans; Rev. w. A. Rawley Dermott. Camp Pike; T. l.. Vaughan. Little Rock, Kelley field. Among those to be assign ed are B. West and J. B. Rolison, Jonesboro; M. E. Vincent Heber Springs; P. Vaughan, B. D. Robley, Hot Springs and L. w. Robertson, Little Rock.
 Arkansas has headed the list for men recruited from the capi- tai and country districts for the Army Y training school for three successive terms, and it is ex. pected an extraordinarily strong delegation will be selected to en- ter the October class at Camp Travls, San Antonio.
 It's surely an Ill wind that blows nobody good. When the first quarantine for influenza was placed on Camp Pike enlisted men and officers, there was a large surplus of delicious peach and vanilla ice cream at the Host ess House The word spread like wildfire among the adjacent bar racks and Sammies came d run ming The Hostess House had tC be closed by 8 o'clock, so two and three big scoops went for jit- ney, which had formerly cost a i iit per each.

London, Sept. 3.-The British
have captured the town of Lens. the
town of Queant has also been taken.
Lens was evacuated by the Germans,
the British moving in. With the
push beyond the Drocourt-Queant
line the British advance has been
driven to a point just to the west OF
Buissy 2 IL miles to the northeast
of Queant and they have occupied
Pronville l 1-2 miles southeast OF
Queant.
More than 10000 prisoners were
taken by the British yesterday. Ad-
ditional prisoners were taken this
morning.
The British also have captured
Doignes, Velu Bertincourt and Roe
quigny, and report an advance of
maximum depth of four miles on u

CASE IODAI
Washington, Sept. 3.-The grano
jury is scheduled to report today on
the governments charges against
Edward L. Travis, former state cor
poration commissioner of North Car
olina and his two business associ-
ates who are charged with conspir-
acy to defeat the operation of the Sc
lective draft law.
Indications were last night that
there is to be no further delay in the
action of the grand jury or the dis
trict attorneys office. A report from
the grand jury was expected week
ago, but it is understood that the
prosecution consented to postpone
proceedings before the grand jury
pending a conference between Mr..
Travis and one of his attorneys, Jas.
H. Pou, of North Carolina.
1t was learned yesterday that Mr..
Pou, who was expected here this
morning, has already made quiet
trip to Washington. He conferred
with his client and returned home
Sunday.
If Mr.. Travis is brought to trial
his array of counsel will compromise

cessful corporation lawyer of Wash
ington, and Robert H. McNeill
North Carolina lawyer now doing
well at the Washington bar.

WHAT THE VICTORY MEANS
In The Breaking of the Dracourt
Queant Line

By the victory seemingly has end
ed the menace of the Hindenburg
line to the south, which the British
are gradually approaching over its
entire front. Already, thoroughly
outflanked on the north and with
the French we'll upon its southern
base, military necessity apparently
will require that the Germans relin-
quish the Hindeburg Notifications
and realign their front from Flan-
ders to Rheims in order to avert dis
aster at the hands of their now
swiftly moving antagonists.
Hhe fighting here was as furious
as any since the war began and in
creased in intensity as the British
battled their way forward, meeting
the ever-growing resistance of the
enemy, who had put in every avail
able man and was rushing up re-
serves at the rear.
Thousands of prisoners have been
captured, the roads to the British
are literally jammed with them.
Already the roads to Douai Cam
brai and St. Quentin are thoroughly
invested by the British and French
while north of scissors the
French and Americans are in posi-
tions of vantage from which to carr
ry out turning movements which
will outfank Laon and the Chamin
des Danes and Aisne lines. The sit
uation of the emmy, viewed from the
war maps, is the most perilous he
has yet been in.
Added to the troubles of the Ger
man high command is the situation
that is fast developing in Flanders,
in the region around Ypres, where
the Germans daily are being forced
out of their positions by the British
and American troops. All over tins
sector steady progress. is being made
eastward in the blotting out of the
salient that has long existed there.
The Americans who took Voorme-
zeele Sunday now are we'll into the
region east of the town, having ov-
,rcome the strong resistance of the
Germans who endeavored to bar
heir way. A few more strides by

MOORE SENT UP FOR 25 WEARS


The case of W. r. Moore and son,
Rennie which had been in progress
in Pitt Superior court since early
Thursday morning was concluded
Saturday evening at 6:24 o'clock
when the jury after a deliberation
of twenty-five minutes returned into
court with verdict of second de-
gree murder for w. r. Moore and
verdict of mot guilty for the son.
Before passing the sentence of 25
years in State pen upon Moore,
Judge Whedbee told the prisoner
that the jury had been merciful up
on him, because there was sufficient
evidence introduced to convict him
of first degree. There was no words
or signs of disapproval of the verdict
from Moore or his counsel.
Moore was taken to Raleigh to
commence his term.
Rennie Moore the convicted mans
son, who was with the father at the
time of the killing was acquitted.

Particularizing the alleged rob-
berries he declared that in Clinton
Sampson county the registrar was
the first half of the day of the pri-
mary and "electioneered for Dortch
the other half" In Duplin, in the
Albertson precinct he charged that

the returns were checked against

In Mount Olive he charged that
soldiers leaving for camp had been
voted for Dortch and left with the
impression that, they were only reg
istering to vote later. In Wayne he
continued, negroes were voted with
out having been registered and at
Morehead City "Charly Webb voted
between forty and fifty Republicans
for Dortch.'
Referring to the activities of the
secret service agents, he said they
