Germany is
Striking Allies Now
baltimore SUM-

The German grand Offensive in
France can, in all probability, be ex-
planned by fear Of the United Statea.
German newspapers and German
military critics of high and low de-
gree have affected to regard the Unit
ed States rs II negligible military
factor for Il good while come md
have openly minimizcd our ability to
make ourselves folt over there. but
their open cOmmen. and their rcnl
convictions are two different things.
The German government is not in the
habit OF deceiving itself ns TO facts.
Whatever may have been believed
md hoped year ago in German mill
tary circles, their view hns been very
much modified by what we have net
ually done in the last twelve months.
Our preparations have been develop
ing on huge scale that has been
ominous. The German government lie
accurately informed az to all we have
done and are planning. 1t knows our
financial and nuemrical strength, and
it has seen that it must class ut
before many months AS it's most for
iinidablc adversary.
This, doubtless, is the reason why
it is risking 30 much on this tremcn-
deus attack. If it had been compelled
to reckon only with France, Great
Britain and Italy, Germany might
have been content to let them tnkc
the iniative. She might have snid to
The Allies: "Its your move" And
chc could have allowed them to con-
.inue the slow process of attrition
But with the United States coming
to the front with unexpected speed
and power, she would seem TO have
come to the conclusion that she could
not afford to wait, that it was case
Of now or never and the longer she
delayed the more serious would be
her situation.
This would explain why Germany
is haznrding everything on the re-
suit Of this gigantic assault. What
ever may he thought in Washington
as To the Uncle Sam's war machin.
cry having fallen down there is every
reason to believe that it has created
real alarm in German military minds
and that Germany has been forced To
stake her all on the doubtful result OF
this wager Of battle, because she has
seen looming up on the horizon fig
ure whose arrival spells her doom.

TAZEWELL AVENUES GOOD (?)
STREET.

An interested citizen asks, "What
has become of that good road built
down Tazewell avenue last year? ?"
No "good" road was built down Taze-
well avenue last year nor any other
year. Only little patching was done
last year, and what was done is
gone, and the street is in about as
bad shape as it was before it was
patched" The street was left after
the patching, almost as flat as pam
cake and every rain that came washed
the road into the holes If our friend
wants to find this greatly improv-
ed" road, he will find part of it in the
old, well known ditch alongside the
street, and the rest of it in the bot
tom of the Clinch or perhaps the gulf
of Mexico by this time Wonder
when the authorities will find out
that it is waste of time and money
to build roads and streets half way?

Bootlegger Comes
to Grief in Graham

Jess Utterback colorcd man, was
brought to Jail here last Saturday by
officer Rosenbaum, of Graham. The
negro, with number of others, came
to Graham in an automobile early
Saturday morning after two suit cas-
es of liquor that had been hidden the
night before in lumber pile The
officers of Graham were on the look
out for the men, and when the car
arrived a battle of pistols followed,
and Utterback was the only one ar
rested, bullet from one of the Off
GERS guns having winged him. The
auto in which the men were riding
was forsaken and left in the road,
and was later claimed by Bill Smith,
we'll known Pocahontas character.
John Morgan and Walter Martin, of
Pocahontas, have been arrested in
connection with the affair.
The fifty-odd pints of liquor con-
tanned in the suit cases was destroy
ed here last Saturday by Common
wealth's Attorney Harman.

DIR. ]. II. HICKS TO LEAVE TAZE-
WELL FOR MARYLAND.

1t is learned with much regret that
DR.. j. r Hicks, of Shawver Mill, is to

cessful physician OH Clear Fork for

East razewell and in Bland county,
for more than thirty years. He is

OUR DISTINGUISHED GUESTS
TOMORROW.

The visit of the distinguished
Frenchman, Mr.. Nomod, of the French
High Commission tomorrow, will be
quite an event in the history of our
community. 1t will be the first visit,
so far as we know, of member of
foreign government in this section
Of the State and all our people will
be interested to see and hear the dis
tinguished gentleman. No Frenchman
is foreigner" to the people Of Vir-
ginia or other than welcome visi-
tor. The French people came gladly
to our help in our struggle for indie.
pendence and its establishment was
wrought in no small degree by the
sympathy and help thus afforded at n
time of n great crisis. And, now,
while these lines are being written,
and no doubt while the distinguished
visitors shall be speaking, brave men
of this same brave nation will be
barring their breasts and dying in Il
conflict in another great crisis, along
side Of brave men-the descendants
of our own flesh and blood.
Not an American Revolution" this
time! Not American independence"
this struggle, but "World Revolu-
tion," "World Independence" and the
glory of this latter conflict will be
greater than the former.
The visit of this distinguished
Frenchman Mt this time is particu-
larly opportune and fortunate, and
the pleasure and honor of his visit is
due to the thoughtfulness of Con-
gresham Slemp, for which he de-
serves the thanks Of all the people.
