FIGHT LIKE
VETERANS ON WEST FRONT

From drives on wide fronts the
the German offensive in France has
deteriorated into isolated attacks
along the area between scissors and
Chateu Thierry and eastward to the
Marne in the general direction of
Rheims
Although in these attacks the enc
my still is using large electives and
great numbers of guns, he is being
held almost everywhere from further
progress and on various sectors COM
PEELED to assume the defensive
against vicious blows delivered by the
Americans, French and British
troops.
The Americans on the sectors
where they are alone or brigaded
with allied troops everywhere are
lighting with spirit of abandon that
places them rightly in the category
Of veterans. Near the Neuilly wood
which lies northwest of Chateau Thi-
crry and at the point where the drive
IS, the Americans have beaten off
strong German attack and on the
Marne at Jaulgonne, northeast of
Chateau Thierry, fighting shoulder to
,houlder with the French, they have
aided in forcing the first contingent
of the enemy to cross the Marne
again In this last engagement the
Germans suffered severe casualties
and also left 100 prisoners
Between the Aisne and Ourcq riv-
crs, the Germans have captured Per-
nant and to the south Of that village
he French have coded a little ter
ain. In the Ourcq Valley they also
took the town of Nueilly la Potricx,
seven and one half miles northwest
Of 1hicrry in fighting during which
the place changed hands several times,
at other places the Germans have
been unable to advance. The losses
Of the Germans near Pernant were
extremely heavy. There still is only
moderate activity along the line held
by the British in Flanders and Pi-
cardy, where patrol activities and
5ombarding continue.
Full confidence in the outcome of
the war again has been expressed by
.he supreme war council of the allies
which has just gone over the entire
situation resulting from the big Ger
man offensive, although it is stated
that the allied nations may be still
exposed to critical days" I.

GERMAN SUBMARINES ATTACK
VESSELS IN AMERICAN WATERS

Becoming desperate because of the
Increasing effectiveness of the allied
...e.hod& in meeting the submarine
menace in European waters and of
their inability to interfere with the
transportation of American troops to
France, the kaiser's pirates have at
last made their long expected visit to
American waters.
1t has been suspected for some
time that they were lurking on this
side. They made their presence
known Sunday night by sinking about
ten small unarmed coastwise ships.
1t is supposed that their object
was two-fold, to strike at our trans
ports at the point where the convoys
assemble and to make spectacular
raids that would strike fear into the
hearts of Americans and cause a pop
ular demand for the return to these
waters of large portion of our navy.
they were successful in neither.

SIXTEEN KNOWN DEAD.

New York, June 4.-The toll of
dead and missing from the raid of

kican line. Sixteen Of this number
are known TO have perishcd when one
OF the ships boats capsiZcd in a
storm Sunday night after the vessel
had been sunk. 1t is hoped the others
have been picked up by passing

1t has been established that at
least two submarines Of large tvpr
took part in the raid. 1t was the
u-3I which sank the Carolina and
the U-lJl which sent several schoon-

THE DEATH OF LEE PARKER

Little Lee Parker, the fUur-ycar-
old son of Mr.. A. j. Parker, was in
stantly killed last Sunday afternoon
in an automobile accident.
The car was driven by Chester, the
l2-year-old son of MIR. Parker, and
there were several other children in
the car, and the Misses Brock, sisters
of the boys mother. Lee was sitting
IN the lap of one Of mis- aunts when
the car, while travelling at moderate
speed on the farm road, passed over
a bulk-head and the boy was thrown
out. Rolling under the car the rear
wheel passed over his head, causing
death very quickly.
1t is said by those who have in
quircd into the case, that no blame
attaches to Chester, as he was
driving carefully. The boy
seems heartbrokcn over the tragic
death of his little brother.
An especially sad feature of the
tragedy was the breaking of the
news to his mother, who is seriously
i'll at the Wadcsboro hospital.
Expressions of sympathy for the
bereaved family are heard on every
hand.
The little body was laid to rest at
the Zoar cemetery Monday, the Rev.
f. NJ. Cannon officiating.
