FROM CAMP HILL.
Newport News, Va

Sept. 13, 1918.
Dear Homcfolks:
AS am in a new camp | will write
you a short letter to let you hear
from me, and the news from Camr
Hill. We arrived at camp September
18th, after having pleasant trip
from Camp Johnston, Fla. / like
Virginia fine; it is nice and cool, and
more pleasant than Florida. We
have large barracks here and every
thing is arranged conveniently. We
came by way of Savannah, Ga, Co
lumbia, S. c., Raleigh, N. c., and
Richmond, Va, and to Newport
News. Three squadrons stopped over
in Raleigh, n. c., and paradcd thru
the city FOR awhile. We enjoyed our
stay very much. The ";cG Cross Ia
dies as usual were Il, the station to
m@kc us happy. We made our trip
without any accident, excen: the pull
ing off Of one Of the couplings be-
tween the coaches at Denmark, S. c.,
! about 2 o'clock at night, were de
layed about two hours and one-half
We had fifteen cars counting cooks
ears and baggagc;- had our meals
IL the regular hours, but the sleep
ing wasn't SO regular.
Camp Sewer is Il toy when COM
pared with these camps here. There
are three camps-Camp Hill, Morri-
son and Stewart. There is an avia-
tion camp here and the acroplanes
fly around like birds.
Our squadron, Number 335, took
hike this A. NJ; went to Newport
News. We have some fine scenery
here; our barracks are built right on
the banks of the James River. Pm
sitting here on my bunk writing, and
l can look out Of the window right
into the river. It's big thing, be-
| lievc me. The waters of the James
River flow into what is known as
| Hampton Roads where the great
battle between the first l'onclad bat
tleships was fought on March 9th,
| 1862. Hampton Roads is between
Newport News and Old Point Com
fort; and just 10 our right is Chesa-
pcakc Bay which is near US. MY bar
racks is about thirty yards from the
water, and all kinds Of boats up to
the largest vessels are continually
passing in and out.
All Camp Sewer boys are here,
but are located in different parts Of
the camp.
Well, could write more, but they
are calling us out now to issue some
thing, so must close.
| Remember me to all Of my friends
and write me Il long letter soon.
| Much love from your son,
! Robert M. Wclborn.
You don have to wait to gel Your
cotton ginned now. We have fixed for
you. Pickcns Oil and Fertilizer Go.

Central Items.

Last Monday was red letter day for
Central Monday afternoon the Wes-
lcyan College students and faculty and
the high school students and faculty
paraded the streets flying banners,
with appropriate verses on them, and
also carrying large u. S. flags. Some
of the small children were dressed like
red cross nurses. This great pocession
was led by Lieut.. Marvin Lawrence who
was mounted Ward Bedford represent
ed Uncle Sam and carried German flag
dragging in the dust Dr. Bedford and
his faithful faulty at each school de-
serve much credit for the araangemcn,
Of this parade. The climax Of Mondays S
efforts was reached Monday night when
DR.. John l.. White delivered one Of his
mastcrtul, patriotic addresses. DR..
White carried every one in the audience
right up to the place of owning a
Liberty bond or being SO marked by
society that whatever else we might dc
it would never erase the black mark
put on us by failing to buy Liberty
bond DR.. White was interrupted many
times in his discourse by prolonged ap-
plause.
TThe big drive for the Fourth Liberty
loan is on and Central will "go over the
top with her apportionmcnt. We have
some as loyal and patriotic men and
women rs ever trod American soil. We
may have some who have not done any
thing for either the Red Cross or the
Liberty lonn drives, but if we have
such we frankly say we are ashamed Of
them.

The Perfection is dn Oil heater
 without a fault Priced SAYS

Perfection oil heaters, especial ly this new model, perfected by the Standard Oil Company, are the only perfect oil heat CTS on the market; the only ones which take the smell out of kerosene and pour heat into the home in almost unbeliev- able quantities. It is remark able how quickly one of these efficient little heaters will make the largest room con- fortable on the coldest morn ing.
 Are light in weight, have ham, dies which do not get hot, and can be carried from room to room to spread comfort which is their business.
 Perfection oil heaters con- sume but little kerosene; burn it without odor and without waste. A very low price for a heater which gives such splen- did results. 9th Fioor)

ish front would remain almost
without extension as the line
bulged inward with the continu-
ing retreat. By this time the
German advance has practically
been brought to a halt every
where north of Peronne, except
around Bapaume, which the Ger
mans captured on this day. On
the southern end of the line the
German s advance accomplished
approximately five miles. On
Tuesday the advance continued
all along the line passing Noyon
and Roye, and practically reach
ing the edges Of the area evac-
uated by the Germans in the
spring of 1917.
On Wednesday a British coun-
ter attack recovered something
like five miles depth Of territory
along the Somme and there was
no advance in the north, but the
middle Of the salient was ex-
tended perhaps two or three
miles.
On Thursday, with the line
practically held in the north,
the Germans shifted their attack
to the front between Arras and
Lens and succeeded in driving in
the British outposts but accom-
plished nothing more. At the
lower end of the salient a sharp
bulge developed which carried
the Germans through Mondidier.
At the same time the French
holding the heights west Of the
Disc counter attacked sharply,
driving the Germans back for
about three miles on a ten mile
front, seriously imperiling the
German salient to their left.
Throughout all these actions
the retreat was conducted with
the utmost steadiness, with the
infection Of terrific losses on the
attackers and with the minimum
of damage to the allied armies.

Throws Greatest
Weight Toward South.

On account Of this last point
it is clear that, while pressure
of the most severe kind would
be exercised by the enemy over
the whole of the sector chosen
for the attack, his strategic OBJ
ject lies and therefore his chief
effort would be made as near as
possible toward the southern
end of the sector. To find upon
the map the exact situation of
this sector the reader must look
for the two towns of Arras and
st. Quentin in the northeast of
France. Through Arras runs the
canalized River Scarpe. Upon
this river due east of Arras are
the ruins Of the village of Rouex.
This was the northern limit of
the front attack. South of st.
Quentin, about seven or eight
miles and little east and in the
marshy valley of the Disc, is the
little town of La Fere. These
marked the southern limit, and
it was clear that the neighbor-
hood of st. Quentin would be
the territory where the enemy
would put the great part of his
weight.
That weight, the concentra-
ton of men and guns, was and
is exceedingly formidable. The
enemy had altogether in France
and Belgium 186 divisions,
about 100 of which might be-
used for active operation,
though they were of varying
rank, morale and value for fight |
ing purposes. OF these divisions
not less than SO, mainly chosen
from the best units, faced the
British line, and not less than rs |
stood ready to deliver the shock
between the Scarpe and the
Disc. OF this number 40 of the
best were selected for the initial /
blow and the remainder for
!" feeding in" to the advanced
lines as their predecessors grew
exhausted from losses and the
strain of fighting and had to be
withdrawn for rest and reorgan- I
ization.

gain such advantages as

cutting of the main railway
through Amiens, which is
the great artery of commun-
ication between France and
England, and
n To make an immedi-
ate threat to reach
Paris, which lies, at the
nearest point of the German
line on which the battle
opened, little more than
seventy miles away.

has ever been developed with
such dense masses of men, or
with such an astonishingly high
proportion Of loss. There were
places where the attackers were
thrown in with a momentum of
seven men to the yard of front.
That is a whole division of in
fantry on a single kilometre.
Against such tactics the obvious
advantage to the British of us
ing every missile weapon that
could be pushed well forward is
clear, and the toll paid in loss of
guns where the enemy forced the
first lines and overran them was
we'll worth the result in the de-
struction of Germans that they
had caused before being captur-
ed.
On this first day the enemy
nowhere passed the main de-
fensive third position of the
battle zone, upon the main
tenance of which depended the
question whether the retirement
of the British would be forced
or not. The fighting Of Thurs
day then, on the results shown,
had gone against the enemy s eff
fort and in favor of the British
defence.
But with Friday came a great
change. The night was very
misty on the southern part of
the line, although clearing in the
north. The fog hung well on In
to the forenoon in the district Of
st. Quentin and forbade the use
of the enemy aircraft until COM
paratively late in the day. But
when the weather cleared the
British discovered that the Ger
mans on this second day were
a serious effort in the
vital southern portion Of the
front Of which st. Quentin was
the center.
