him and then challenged. The enemy
answered with rifle fire, whereupon
the American outposts opened with
heavy machine gun and automatic
fire, scattering the Germans and driv-
ing them back to their own lines
A violent artillery duel went on
all through the night along the
whole length Of the American front
The Germans threw more shells into
the American positions than in any
similar period for the past few
months. The American batteries "e-
piled vigorously.

Calling of Negroes Helps State.

Calling OF negroes heIPS oIdle.
Washington Ger, April 8. Green's
boro News.
A. w. Mclean, of Lumberton, Dem
ocratic national committeeman, told
the Daily News correspondent today
that the recent call for the negroes
to 60 to cantonments for training will
greatly strengthen and build up the
quota of North Carolina, which has
feen very mucn behind. This has
been due, Mr. Mclean says, to the
fact that the war department has not
been able to take the negroes until
recently, and that this has caused the
state to make a bad showing in fur
nishing her quota of men.
Mr.. Mclean said it was pleasing to
the white people of the state to SEE
how enthusiastic the negroes ar over
the part thy are going to take in the
war. All of the North Carolina draft
ed men have been sent away in fine
spirits and their people have made a
point to encourage those who have
been called.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2s.-NIlitary men
are hoping that peace developments will
come to a decision quickly. They fore
saw that if peace talk is long continued
10 will have a demOraizing effect on
war work. Symptoms Of this have al
ready become evident as shown last
week by the government appeal TO nom
essential industry workers to shift over
TO essential lines, regardless Of peace
talk. II was indicated at that time that
the peace exchanges were tending TO de-
press war work because some labOrers
thought peace was at hand and hence
would not give up peace-time jobs.
Military men say that 10 is a natural
reaction to have war work hampered
IL peace talk is persistent. But they
point out that thus for there is no as
surance that Germany will accept armis
tice terms and hence no reason for any
American to believe that he can 'let
down."
The army authorities believe that
Germany is making a strong bid to es-
cape the nevitable--invasion Of Ger
many Resignation Of Ludendorff is
viewed as a long step In this direction,
but army men are far from convinced
that Germany is entirely sincere in her
TO date.
The army men hope that matters will
De left to them. II the armistice terms
ire rejected. they expect to make
cleanup Of the situation. though they
ldmit there will be very desperate fight
ng ahead with heavy losses all around.
n this connection, they point out Ger
many will have shorter lines and hence
viii need fewer men than before. And
hey add that the German military ma
hine is still intact though suffering re-
erses. The army is getting out Of Bel |
ium with most Of its material and with |
small losses in prisoners.
n these circumstances military men
yarn that the nation must not be over
anguine about walk-away in crossing

Another factor in the situation is her
constant appeal to President Wilson to
get a Just peace. German papers are

is a growing fear that the peace man
