Withstandng Ferocious Onslaught.
In q battle that has rivalled in fe-
rocity any that has preceded it dur
ing three and a half years Of warfare,
the British, on a 50-mile front, have
withstood the great German offensive
in it's initial stages. At some points
the British line has been bent back,
but not as much as had been expected
by military experts acquainted with
the forces the Germans had brought
up and the power of the guns they
had upon and behind the line.
AS the result of the struggle on that
part Of the front just west Of Cambria,
where the fighting was apparently hot
test, the British line has nowhere been
broken and Field Marshal Haig's men
have inflicted frightfu1 casualties on
the enemy.
The first reports of infantry fighting
were indicative of an attempt on the
part of the Germans to drive wedges
into both sides of the Cambria salient,
isolate the British troops farther east
and regain the Hindenburg line. from
which they were driven on Novem-
Der %, 1917, by General Byng's sud,
den blow. Subsequent dispatches
have proved that this was. indeed, the
plan of the German general staff. The
fighting on the rest of the so mile
front was but a side issue to the ter
rifle onslaught aimed at Gauche wood
and Lagnicourt, the south and north
bases of the salient

Lexington-J. Franklin Deaderick,
cashier of the Commercial and Savings
Bank, of this place, was shot and kill
ed by J. Graham Hege. The shooting
occurred in the sitting room of Hese's
home Five snots N all are said to
have been fired by Hege, two of
which pierced Deaderick's body, enter
ing the right side and going entirely
through the body. Deaderick rushed
from the room and fell from the front
porch to the yard and died almost in
stant1y. Hege Immediately telephon-
ed the sheriff's office and requested
that an officer be sent for him. appris-
ing him of the deed He refused 20
make a statement giving the details
of the shooting, further than to say
that he shot in defense of the honor OF
his home and said: ST did what any
other man would have done"
The slayer said further that he had
formerly held the dead man to be the
best friend he had in the world and
after being placed under arrest said:
"Boys, don't ever. have good friends.
You can't trust them too far
From facts gathered after the shoot
ing it appears that shortly after Hega
arrived home from his work as man
ager Of the Southern Upholstery Com
pany, Deaderick also arrived at the
Hege home. Words were passed and
the firing began, to cease only when
the pistol was emptied. J. z. Hedrick
of the bank of which the dead man
was cashier, issued a statement this
afternoon saying that fege had in
vfted Deaderick to his home. Hege
denies that he had asked Deaderick to
come to his home, though saying that
an interview was in mind.
Mrs. Hege when interviewed declin-
ed to make statement as to the ex-
act nature of the trouble that led up
to the shooting, further than to say
that it was of a domestic nature and
had occurred at a date previous to the
shooting.

RED CROSS THRIVES
/ UPON EMERGENCIES
Wonderful Efficiency Shown by
Organization in Handling
Work in France.

Emergencies are what the American
Red Cross thrives upon. The proof Of
this assertion, says Captain Ednyfed
from France, is found in the way the
Red Cross is meeting the shortage Of
shipping.
Captain Williams work over there
was in tie purchasing department Of
the Red Cross. AS the space on ships
became less and less available for tho
transportation of Red Cross supplies,
it was necessary to buy as much ma
terial in Europe as possible.
"The Red Cross buys supplies in
France, England, and Italy, and will
do so in Spain when negotiations are
completed, because our government
needs every inch of space on ships to
transport troops and munitions" he
explained. "Everything is bought on
a strictly business basis by men spe-
cially trained in American industries,
working generally without pay.
"Our ability to give relief to Italy
when the Austro-Germans suddenly
swooped down upon them last autumn
ing our warehouses in France stocked
up. Had we sat down and waited for
the time when enough ships would
have been available to get all our
goods from America the Italians would
have suffered UNNECESSARILY and pos
sibly would not have rallied as they
did following our relief work.
every ton of supplies we buy in
Europe makes one more ton of space
available for the shipment from Amer
lea of army supplies, or surgical dress
fngs and other Red Cross supplies
made by American women"
Captain Williams confirms the re-
ports Of all other officers who have
been to France, that the Red Cross
has sustained the French people and
army wonderfully and that they are
ready for the trying days ahead
