REBECCA WINBORNE MADE
 FIRST CONFEDERATE FLAG

Wilson. N. C.. Aug. 14.-Mrs. Rebec- ca WinbbTne, 87 years old, who died recently. is said to have been the wo- man who made the first confederate flag. The banner, designed by Cap tain Or-en Randolph Smith of Hen derson, N. C.. was made by Mrs. Win Murphy at Wilson in February 1861. 4 sister refused to aid in making the flag, it is said. because she was en- gagged to a northern army officer A few weeks after the flag was com pleted it was adopted by the confed- crate congress at Montgomery, Ala, as the standard of the confederacy. The first banner contained only seven stars, representing the number of states that had seeded. but this num- Der was soon increased to eleven by the withdrawal of other states from the union. By an act of the confeder- ate congress it was named The Stars and Bars"
 At a reunion of Confederate Veter- ans at Norfolk, Va, in 1910, Captain
 Smith explained the meaning of the various colors, in the flag as follows: | "The idea of my flag I took from the Trinity. The three bars were for the church, state and press all bound to- gether by field of blue (the heavens over alD. bearing a star for each state 1 in the confederation. The seven white stars, all the same size. were placed in a circle. showing that each state hat 1 equal rights and privileges, irrespec- | tive of size or population"

GERMANS NOT WITHIN
 FIFTY MILES OF PARIS

Washington, Aug 14-A new drive against the German positions either in Flanders or between the Disc and Soissons, is expected by many army officers here as d result of the slowing
 up of the advance in the Picardy theater
 Outlining the situation at his mid
 week conference today, General March,
 chief of staff, confined his statements
 to pointing out that the Germans have
 now been forced back until they are
 not within fifty miles of Paris at any point. The head of the army previ- ously has laid stress on the fact. how
 ever. that the greatest advantage won by Marshal F'och in a military way is in having Wrested the initiative from the enemy.
 In the course of his discussion. Gen eral March said that General Persh- i ing now has 1,250.000 American troops organized into the First Army Corps ! Presumably the Americans on the British left flank in Picardy, identi- l fled by the chief of staff as the 131st i Infantry of the 33rd Gllinois Nationa l Guard) Division, are among those ! still b-igaded for training.
 | It appeared possible to some off ] cers that the organization of the Firsr i American Army might be followed by an all-American attack at some poinr i or the line which it holds beyond Yer ! dun, where there has been no recen- 1 fighting. No reports, official or un, l official. have been received. however i throwing any light on General Persh. i ing's plans or the part assigned tC i him by Marshal Foch in the presen
 offensive campaign.

HUERTA MOVEMENT WAS
 FINANCED BY GERMANY

Fl Paso. Tex. Aug. 1.-The asser- ton of Gaston B. Means. in Chicago, that General Victorano Huerta was in the employ of the German imperial government was not a surprise to federal officials on the border who un- covered the Huerta revolutionary plot and arrested Huerta in July ?, 1915.
 While being held for trial as pris- oner at Fort Bliss. General Huerta told his guards that after he abdi- cated the presidency of Mexico he went to Berlin and had a personal in terview with Emperor William. He said he had gold deposits in banks of London, Paris, Berlin and Barcelona. Federal officers here believed the Huerta movement was being financed by the German government and that the purpose of the movement was to involve the United States with Mexi- co and prevent the shipment of muni tions to Europe.

In fact. it seems not improbable that the Germans pro pose to readjust their front from the Somme to Arras and possibly further northward.
 The capture of Ribecourt by the French marks an important epoch in the offensive which has for it's inn mediate purpose the freeing of the region between the Somme and the Disc of the enemy. As a gain from the strategic standpoint it ranks with | the taking by the French of the forest and hill position between the Matz and the Disc, which has brought the | French almost to the gates of Las signy. Through Ribecourt lies an i open route up the Disc valley to Noyon "a route by rail and the big nationa l thoroughfare, not to mention the cana which parallels the roadways for the | greater part of the way. Noyon. Is only a little more than six miles north east of Ribecourt.

CLOSER ANGLO-AMEII
 COOPERATION DISCUSSED

London, Aug. 14.-According to the Evening News, Lord Reading, the British ambassador to the United States. who is here on visit will discuss with Premier Lloyd George and Arthur J. Balfour, minister of foreign affairs certain proposals for a closer Anglo-American co-opera- tion both during the war and after ward. The newspaper states that pro posals involve an offensive and de- fensive alliance in which the co-op eration of other democratic nations will be welcomed.
 Lord Readings visit, however, has mainly to do with certain financial re- adjustments connected with the as sumption by he United States of re- sponsibility for loans to allied nations heretofore borne by Great Britain, the Evening News says, and with the conclusion of negotiations for certain further loans in which. the United States, Great Britain and France are to participate.
 No Political Alliance for U. S. Washington, Aug. 14-It was stated authoritatively today that the sub alliance never has been discussed or even suggested The understanding here is that Lord Readings visit tc London is to report personally upon his work in the United States and tc acquaint himself fully with develop ments at home:
