French Lose Crest of Hill.

London, Sept. q, 1 p. m.-Le
iTransloy, the important point on the
line between Bapaume and Peronne
which the Germans have been stub
bornly holding is virtually in the
hands of the British. They have
captured the village of Viller-au-
Flos to the north of LIE Transnoy
which they have outfanked on both
sides.
The capture of Moreuil north
west of Bapaume was reported this
morning. Between 5000 and 1000
prisoners were taken by the Aus
tralians in the victory at Peronne
yesterday.
The French met slight setback
to the east of the Nesle line losing
the crest of Hill No. II, which they
captured last night.

FOUR COUNTIES OVER THE TOP
NOT BIG ONES EITHER

The great news coming from the
battlefelds of Europe should speed
up the sale of War Stamps. At a
time when American soldiers fresh
from civil life are showing them
selves the equals of the highly
specialized soldiers of Europe, our
people are going to see that these
brave fellows lack for nothing that
money can furnish. If our govern
ment wants tanks to save American
lives, if it wants alrplanes or munl-
tions, it shall have all it wants. How
little it is to give money in compar-
ison with giving life.
Why not let North Carolina speed
up it's campaign to furnish in the
next month our full quota? We can
do it and never miss the money. Sup
pose we do miss it, what difference
does it make? 1t will help get our
boys back sooner
Four of our counties have pledged
their full amounts. Six have
pledged over their quotas. Greene
has gone over it's assessment by 23
per cent, Wilson by 16 per cent,
Martin by 3 per cent; Jones by Z,
and Forsyth and Perquimans by ?
per cent. If small counties with no
large towns in them like Greene,
Martin, Jones and Perquimans can
go over their mounts, why don't
the remaining counties 60 and dc
likewise? The splendid organization
and devoted work which have
brought honor to the four small
counties can bring like results ir
the rest of the State.

ARTILLERY FIRE
| OF AMERICANS
Handle Two Barages at Same
Time. One to Protect
Troops and Other
TO HARASS THE ENEMY

With the American Army in
France, Sept. 2.-The American
troops in their drive beyond Juvig-
ny began at o'clock Saturday and
the Americans had gained their OBJ
jective by nine O'Clock at night.
Ragged points in the new line were
smoothed out yesterday.
In addition to the 900 prisoners,
two pieces of artillery were captur-
ed and great number of machine
guns and trench mortars. Trenches,
shell holes and the open field were
strewn with German dead.
The drive forward from the posi-
tions north and south Of Juvlgny
proved field day for the Americans
and their Allies, the French. me
artillery literally blasted a way
through the enemy ranks, tearing
down defenses and leveling the
ground, while Allied planes main
tanned complete and uninterrupted
connection by radio with battery
commanders throughout the engage
ment. The infantry, when called
upon for it's part in the dramatic
venture, responded like veteran
troops after a long period of rest,
and with enthusiastic shouts began
the pursuit of the Germans who
were not caught in the terrific bar
rage.
With the infantry went the tanks
and it was a different story from
that when they first advanced
against Juvigny. Two companies
thirty tanks had been detailed fol
the work. They were light, two
man French tanks.
Placed in the sector in front o.
the Americans two new German di
visions-the 23S and the 227th-
the first of which marched from
Rheims and the other from Metz
Both were excellent organizations
but, like other divisions encounter
ed in the past few weeks, were af
flicted with that mysterious some
thing which caused them to cracl
when pounded by the rejuvenate'
allies.
A new variety of barrage wa
