WASHINGTON IS OPTIMISTIC
Situation On West Front PIeases
Military Critics,


Washington, April 22-Events on
the Western battle front are shaping
themselves, officers here believe, not
only for defeat Of the German drive,
but for a counter-offensive by General
Foch's armies that may open the
road to an Allied military victory.
A wave Of optimism has spread
over not only American officials, but
also the military men of the Allied
nations in Washington. Some of them
think it will be some days yet be.
fore General Foch can complete his
troop dispositions for great thrust
at the enemy, but others look for
word that he has struck at any time.
The news from the battle front was
distinctly cheering. The British lines
in the hard stricken Flanders front
were holding firmly. French reinforce
ments had arrived there, making
practically certain that the German
drive toward the channel points from
that direction has been defeated.
At the same time, official an
nouncement came from Rome that
Italian troops were already pouring
into France to share in the crucial
struggle there. This added to the
optimism, for it means that the fight.

London, April 22.-Haig's troops
have taken the aggressive on the
southern side of the Lys battlefront
with quick and decisive results. They
compelled the Germans to give up

sector, which were all the enemy

attack was repulsed.
1t seems likely that the enemy will
again essay drive around Arras, al
though he failed there in the early
stages Of the battle. The Germans
must force back the British between
Arras and Albert before they can go
much further, as their right flank is
held fast by the British from Vimy
to Albert.
RepuIsed by French.
In the sectors Of the southern bat

a continuation of the heavy artillery

southeast of Amiens, in which the ad.

took prisoners, including an officer.

Dancing is a form of an apuse-

Individuals and Christian denomina-

The military street dance is most
likely tabooed for Hendersonville by
reason of a marked sentiment against
it and also for financial reasons, so

HI STREET DANCE

The street dance discussions caused
a great deal of misunderstanding.
Unfortunately they embraced too
much territory. DIR. Morse was faith
er Of the idea and in no wise seeks to
shirk the responsibility for such.
In his advocacy of the street dance
DR.. Morse had in mind entertainment
of soldiers and other summer visitors
and the promotion of business inter-
ests. DR.. Morse must - given cred
it for wishing only gooo rather than
harm since his convictions in favor of
dancing as innocent pas time are as
pronounced as those Of others against
the dance.
1t is to be regretted that attempts
were made to pull the Board of Trade
into the controversy because this or
ganlzation had in no wise considered
the street dances. Attempts were
also made to involve the Hustler, but

Miss Cobb the editress of the Nor.

caused us to delay the proceedings OF
a meeting for half an hour, for which
she received a. little structure in
motto, makes the following humble
request:
Editor Hollowell, of the Hen
Jacksonville Hustler, will please do
us the favor to print in his paper
for reproduction in The News
Herald his little preachment on
"On Time, every time, etc" This
being late habit has such a firm
hold on some Morganton folks
that it will do them good, prob
ably. to read that"
Here is the motto: .
In time
On time -
Every tim ;
All the time
Excepting when
Ahead of time
And that's a little
Better time.
This motto works like a charm in
day or Sunday school when repeated
in unison. 1t is good for business
houses, employers and employees, doc
tors, lawyers and all others who are
prone to delaying business through
lack of p~unctua1ity.
The motto is easy to learn, has a
good moral and dweIls upon the mind
once it is memorized.
