used in the war.
Brisk local fighting continued to-
day on both sides Of the Meuse.
East Of the river there were heavy
contacts in the Bois de la Grand

Bos Belleu. We took Beileu Wood
for the fifth time yesterday after
noon, onl yto be later driven out
again. We have now retaken il
again despite terrific German artil-
lery fire.

the Germans had deserted Clery lie

North of Grand Pre- the Germans
also withdrew from Bellejoyeuse
Farm, which has changed hands

We sent patrols into the farm to
have the Germans open heavy ma
chine gun fire from dominating
woods. They had evidently set a
trap, expecting large force OF
Americans to rush into the place.
We have not occupied the farm
which is under constant fire from
the hills of Bourgogne Woods. The
farm in turn had firing command OF

Following is the text of Mondays S
communication from the War Office
The Turks still held on Friday
strong positions on Jebel Hamrin,
west of the mouth of the Lesser
Zab. But on the previous day some
of our armored cars, by desert
track further west, struck in on the
Turkish line Of communications in
the neighborh0od of kaleh Sher-
CHAT. where they attacked enemy
conveys. At the same time our cav
airy moved up on the left bank OF
the sTigris, threatening the enemy
from the east.
The pressure Of our troops in
front, combined with the attack or
their communications, compelled the
Turks to retreat twelve miles to the
north on Saturday night to posi-
ltaet with them. Our troops are
showing great powers OF endurance
in country possessing no roads and
devoid of supplies.
Kerkuk was captured by US on
Friday after slight opposition, and
the Turks retreated toward Allyn
Kuprij. Armored cars inflicted
many casualties on the enemy Gloss
to the latter town, and on Sunday
our main body was in touch with
the Turkish troops covering the
crossings of the Lesser Zab.

reached stage where il is being
limited practically only BY facilities

France. The production OF Liberty
motors during October reached one
thousand week, goal which had
not been hoped for, before Decem-

$500 fighting airplanes of all de-

1t is realized that none Of the bellig-

FOR SIX MONTHS SCHOOL TERM

Campaign organizations to carry
to voters on November 9TH the pro-
posed six months school term and to
make personal appeal for the united
support of that constitutional amend
ment, are backed by the two politi-
cal parties which in their State plat
forms heartily endorse the proposal.
1t is perhaps the only measure Of
fered in generation at the polls
which to date has not produced an
objector. Nevertheless the educa-
tional and the party leaders are as
suming nothing but ppresenting the
needs to the people OF North Carolina
that no man may at late hour ap-
pear and with torturing of figures
attempt to argue away the need of
heightened term.
These needs have been summa-
rized. The first and greatest is JUS
tice to the North Carolina children
who now have one of the shortest
constitutional terms of any school
children in the civilized world
North Carolina now spends less than
one third the average amount of the
United States apportionment for
each child and if we have fancied
ourselves too poor to match the ma
tion at large, we surely can not de-
fend our record by comparison with
other Southern States. which spend
an averags of fifty per cent more
than we DO.
1t is to get ourselves away from
this evil eminence, doing the least
for children who are as good as the
best. that both parties and all The
leaders in both, the heads OF our
departments, the State chairmen of
our two great parties, our Governor
and all others in authority as public
servants, issue this appeal to the
voters of the State not to allow any
thing to make them cast a vote
against the schools. Not only the

Anyone who can remember all OF

called may go to the head of the class
in memory culture. They are oil
pushes in reality, and they promise a
season that will be memorable for the
rich effects they make possible In for
NAL suits and in afternoon and din
ner gowns. No commonplace design
ing is worthy such fabrics, and they
have inspired artists in women's ap-
parel to such efforts of elegance as
appears in the costume pictured
above. Among many handsome suits
this was the star at the recent style
show at Chicago.
This suit is made of black fabric
resembling panne velvet but having
longer nap and therefore sturdier ap-
pearance. Black is never sOmber In
