FOUR COUNTIES OVER THE TOP
NOT BIG ONES EITHER

The great news coming from tho
battlefields 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. II our govern
ment wants tanks to save American
lives, if it wants alrplanes or NUM-
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 its campaign to furnish in the
next month our full quota? We can
do 1t 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 its assessment by 20
per cent, Wilson by 16 per cent,
Martin by per cent: Jones by Z,
and Forsyth and Perquimans by :
per cent. II small counties with no
large towns in them like Greene,
Martin, Jones and Perquimans can
60 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 in
t.-e r. 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 4 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 600 prisoners,
two pieces of artillery were captur-
ed and a great number of machine
guns and trench mortars. Trenches,
she'll holes and the open field were
strewn with German dead.
The drive forward from the posi-
tions north and south OF Juvlgny
proved a field day for the Americans
| and their Allies, the French. The
artillery literally blasted 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 its part in the dramatic
venture, responded like veteran
,, troops after long period OF rest,
and with enthusiastic shouts began
the pursuit of the Germans who
were not caught in the terrific bar

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 for
the work. They were light, two
man French tanks.
Placed in the sector in front OF
the Americans two new German d.
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 crack
when pounded by the rejuvenated
allies.
| A new variety of barrage was
used by the Americans. Prisoners
who were brought in, many of whom
had been under barrage of every
army opposed to the central powers
characterized it as "crazy fire."
Others solemnly declared that
they had been subjected to a count
er-barrage by their own army, That
in fact, did occur in at least one IN.
stance, due doubtless to the confus.
ion in the German aerial service
but it was not the case as a whole.
The Americans held their lone
range guns on a line Of taget be-
ginning their barrage along line
to the rear of that. This barrage
moved on and in q brief interval an
other barrage started at the same
point. When the first moving line
of flre reached that of the longrange
guns they shifted and the triple bar
rage was repeated. Ordinarily,

worse, only he was good-natured about
1t. Then he said that ne had been

he had been shelled!

beside it, because the Huns had shelled
it neatly right up and down the middle.
Also, there were so many wrecked

were on their way to the trenches as
re-enforcements. After every two
companies there would be a wagon.
Pretty soon 1 saw the uniform of the
Legion. Then a company of my regi-
ment came up and 1 wheeled In with
them. We were in the rear of the coll
umn that had passed. Our boys were
going up for their regular stunt in the
front lines, while the others had just
arrived at that part Of the front.
Then for the first time my feet be-
gan hurting me. Our bosts were made
of rough cowhide and fitted very well,
but it was a days labor to carry them
on your feet. j began tagging behind.
l would lag twenty or thirty yards
behind and then try to catch up. But
the thousands of men ahead OF me
kept up the steady pace and very few
limped, though they had been on the
march since 3 a. m. 1t was then about
IL a. IN. Those who did limp were
carried In the wagons. But l had seen
very few men besides the drivers rid
ing in the wagons, and / wanted to
be as tough as the next guy, so l kept
IN. But, believe me, l was sure glad
when we halted for a rest along the
road.

the wagon.
Only now there were no wagonsl
They belonged with the other troops.
So 1 had to ease along as best | could
for what seemed like hours-to my
feet-until we turned off onto another
road and halted for a rest. l found
out later that our officers had gone
astray and were lost at this time,
though, of course, they did not tell
US so.
We arrived at our section of the
trench about three o'clock that after
noon and / rejoined my company. L
was all tired out after this trek and
found myself longing for the Cassard
and the rolling wave, where no Mara
thons and hve-mile hikes were neces-
sary. But this was not in store for
me-yet.

moved around out of the dugout until
/ could see the road 1 had been on.
The first thing / saw was a broken
down wagon that had just been hit
In fact, it was topping over when my
eye caught 1t. The driver jumped
from his seat and while he was in the
air his head was torn completely from
his shoulders by another she'll do
not know what kind. This was enough
for me, so back to the dugOut.
How the Germans did it l do not
know, but they had found Out about
that road and opened fire at exactly
the moment when the road was cov-
cred with wagons and men. Yet there
had not been a balloon or airplane In
the sky for some time.
After a while the bo~mbardment
moved away to the east, from which
direction / had come, and l knew our
batteries were getting it. The Tommy
and / came out of the dugout. AS /
started climbing up the muddy sides
l saw there was a man standing at
the edge Of it, and l could tell by his
puttees that he was a Limey. l was
having a hard Job of 1t, so without
looking up l hailed him.
''That was sure some Smelling,

down here with a wounded fin better

The Tommy was right at my heel
by this time, and he let out a string
Of language. I was surprised, too, and
still scrambling around in the mud.
Then the Tommy let a "Gawd 'elp

legs belonged to a Limey officer, a
major, I think. And here we had been

But he sized 1t up rightly and gave
us a hand, and only laughed when we
tried to explain. / got ratified and
told him that all l saw was his legs
