HUN PRESS SEES DANGER.
Express Fear Foch Has B. Up
Strong Army Of Reserves.
Washington Dispatch, July %.


An official dispatch today from
Switzerland says the German newspa-
pers not only admit that the German
offensive has failed, but express fear
that General Foch has built up an
army of reserves that will enable him
to wrest the offensive from the Ger
man high command.
The Frankfurter Zeitung asserts
that the entire strategical plan of
Hirdenburg is compromised by the at
tack on the -Marne front.
"Something new appears in the
strategical situation" says this pa
per. General Foch has been able to
form an important army of reserves.
Foch's attempts to deal blow in the
back of Boehm's army, and should it
be successful, it might compel this
army to retreat under most unfavor-
able conditions.
"Foch's attack threatens the whole
of Hindenburg's plans"
The StrassDurger Post says the pub
lie had, in general, attached too great
hopes to the German offensive at
Rheims and asks: ''From where do
these troops come that the American
transports have really brought more
quickly than they expected?"
The Muenicher Nueste Nachrichten
says France is still! very strong; that
America has more than half million
soldiers in France and that the Eng
lish army has been reconstructed and
put into a perfect state. 1t adds that
ii will take weeks, perhaps, to wrest
the initiative from General Foch.
The Koelnische Zeitung says the
fact must no longer be hidden that
German deserters have made use of
their knowledge Of the plans of op-
crations to betray their country.

NEWS AND COMMENT
New Hanover Commended-Unc1e
Sam Giving Russellites the
Right Dose-Cannot Pay Prices
Charged for Hair Cuts, Shaves
and Shines.
Correspondence C of The Robesonian.

Correspondence of The Robesonian.
Cumberland, N c., July 23.-The
splendid rains of last week were most
gracious and welcome.
Our people at Abbottsburg greeted
us gladly Saturday and Sunday. The
congregations were large and the at
tention was serious at every service.
1t is a great pleasure to be engaged
with Pastor J. H. Hildreth of Fay
etteville, in a good meeting with lis
church at Union Springs this week,
but there is no great interest shown
up to this writing.
Our hat is off to New Hanover coun-
ty in planning so wisely for the bet
terment of her schools 1t shows that
she is not satisfied with present A..
tainments and means to go on unto
perfection. On the other hand, we
hope the voters in the good old county
of Wake, the county of good colleges,
splendid churches and magnificent
leaders, may soon see her mistake in
failing to provide better school facil
tiles for her rural children and will
follow the example of her sister
county by the sea.
1t is a pity the leaders within the
circle of any religion will toss even
a straw in the way of vindicating hon
or, truth, and virtue, the task to which
our great country has at this time
dedicated itself. But such is the case.
The Federal Court of New York has
recently found seven Russelite leaders
guilty of forming a conspiracy to de.
feet the selective draft act, and sent
them over to the Federal prison at
Atlanta to spend twenty years. We
are glad Uncle Sam knows how to
spank a bad boy. We believe in re-
ligion with all our heart. but it should
be based on common-sense principles
and not on foolishness. Them that
sin rebuke before all, that others also
may fear" l Timothy 5:2O.
And now our friends, those clever
gentlemen, the proprietors of the ton
sorial parlors in our nice little city,
have closed their doors against poor
sinner like US; for we cannot pay the
29 per cent raise on hair cut, the SO
per cent raise on shave nor the 100
per cent raise on shoe shine. This
we know is an unintentional injustice
to US, and perhaps unavoidable or
their part, but we can't help ourself
either.
It is cause for much rejoicing that
the Lords people are praying as nev-
er before, and that He is answering
their prayers in consonance with His
own will. The Temps, the Tommies,
and the Sammies are giving the Teu-
tons some good doses and ere long
the trumpet blast of victory for the
cause of honor, peace and safety will
be heard to earth's remotest bound.
Next to going to Heaven, we rather
be with that crowd of boys who have
championed the cause of Liberty for
the nations of earth, that it may be a !
respectable place for people to live,
than anything our poor mind can con-
Ceive.

Every dealer is required TO keep an
absolutely accurate record of all sales
OF sugar, this record to include the

will be examined periodically by the
Food Administration inspectors who
will be put in the field in the imme-

the present conditions.
1T isths duty Of every man, woman
and child in the United States to use
a minimum Of sugar for tea, coffee,

"The individual who uses more
sugar than is necessary for any pur-

the bottom Of their coffee cups or iced
tea glasses, is a Stacker and a near
ally of the Kaiser.
Less Essentials Must Go.
"The American nation is stripping
to the waist for this fight and non
essential industries must go by the
board. It has not been necessary
until this time to curtail our use OF
sugar to the extent that is now re-
Quested. IL is necessary now and our
people must realize that, just as in,the
case Of wheat and meat, they must
save until it hurts. The Food Admin
istration doesn't want any one to do
without creals, coffee. tea, etc, and
especially 1T doesn't waat children
and invalids deprived of the amount
OF sugar necessary in their food for
their proper growth and development
but it does want and it will expect
every patriotic adult to confne their
use of sugar to not exceeding three
pounds per month at the very most.
This is the measure of conservation
and these three pounds a month
should include any candy, soft drinks.

TELLS OF HIS LOYALTY.
Mr.. Forrest Butler Gives His Version
Of the "kisSing the Flag" In
cident.

Along with other newspapers The
Herald and News carried the story Of
a number of citizens making Mr.
Forrest Butler kiss the flag and
pledge loyalty to the country, the in
cident growing out Of alleged disloy-
al language. 1t is always fair to give
the other side hearing, and to that
end we reproduce the following from
The State, under date Of Newberrv,
April 9:
Forrest Butler, who was reported
in The State of Sunday rs having
been required by party Of II men
Of West End. Newberry, to kiss the
flag, wants to say to the public that
the charge that he had shown any
lack Of loyalty to the government,
or had been knocking it or the presi-
dent. is false. and the hostility Of the
party had its foundation in some other
cause; that he had no objection tc
kissing the flag OF his country, for
he loves that flag and is loyal Amer
ican-born citizen, and will go as far in
defending the flag as any of the y
who tried to take the law into their
own hands. He wants to ask whether
if the 81 had had just cause Of con?.
planning against him. they would nc:
have reported him to the federal au-
thorities instead of undertaking TO
regulate the matter themselves IN
their own way

VIGOROUS APPEAL.
WAR SAVINGS COMMITTEE:

Charleston The following rigor-
ous appeal has been issued by the
South Carolina War Savings Com
mittee:
To oppose the War Savings move
ment is to oppose victory on the part
of the United States and its Allies.
To be Indifferent TO this great move
ment is in effect to be indifferent to
The murder Of women. children and
other civilians: Indifferent to the ap-
peal of outraged humanity.
To belitttle the War Savings move
n,ent is to belittle the heroic sacri-
fees of countless dead and wounded
soldiers who fought for your protec-
ton. q
