SENATOR STONE

Senator Stone. of Missouri, is one
of the nauseus twelve. who refused
to indorse a declaration of war on
German atrocities. He was born in
Missouri May I. 1S4S, and was one
of that branch Of the democratic
party in war times known as copper
heads. Like all of his associates In
iniquity, his stock in trade was
abuse OF Lincoln and everything he
did.
1t seems appropriate that such a
man should stand up in his place in
the senate and launch vindictive
war on the republican party, the
members of which have stood loyal
ly by the president, when such DEM
ocrats as Senator Stone have been
appealing to the scum OF the eartn
in sniveling pleas for peace at any
price.
This is no time for politics, when
America is contending against a
powerful foe and the cooperation oil
every party and every creed is need
ed to stem the tide and present a
united front to the common enemy
The party. he assails has always
stood unitedly for the stars ant
stripes, which is more than Senator
Stone can say truthfully. 1t IS sup
porting democratic president to
day, because he is the head Of thii
nation and It will continue to do 1t
regardless of the fact that sucf
demagogues as Senator Stone know
nothing so sacred as politics anC
spoils.
Republican leaders everywher
have excused the democratic admin
istration for egregious blunders II
war preparation, on the ground tina
we we're not prepared for war, ant
in the great rush Of preparation mis-
takes must Of necessity happen
However, If the democratic party ac
cepts Senator Stones speech as
party issue, there may be som
showing up done that is not on hi

gogue stands in public places an,

him.

Aug. .21.-(By the Associated Press
D. m.)-The Germans brought up
reinforcements during the night
and are heavily conntbrAttacking
at Vezaponin, on the right of the
Aisne-Oise battle line. They obvi-
ously are seeking to relieve the hea-
Wy pressure of Gen. MangOn's men
on their right in the region of the
Carlepont forest The attack on
Vezaponin had only the result OF
largely increasing the German loss,
es, as the French maintained their
positions there.
Resuming their attacks this
morning the French gained further
important successes, capturing the
better part of the Carlepont wood
and reaching the Use east of Sempig-
ny. This advance enabled them to
take on the flank by their artillery
fire the important position of Mount
Renaud on the other side of the riv-
er, which is still occupied by the
Germans.
Further east, Selens and the POM
meraye were occupied, giving the
French command of the entire val
ley of the Disc south and southeast
of Noyon.
Ike fighting has extended all
along the battle front from the
Aisne to the Disc with the aid of the
aviators, who are being favored by
ideal weather for flying. The air.
men have hindered greatly the
movement of the enemy troops,
Lombing bridges over the Disc and
conveys and concentrations or

ried the infantry in its progress, at
ta"ling the enemy's infantry with

DEATH OF LIT. PAUL VENABLE

The death of 1t. Paul Venable for
merly Of this city, but now in the
service of his government is reported
in the Raleigh afternoon paper of
yesterday though it has not been re-
ported in the casualty list as sent us.
Neither has the name of young
Adams who was reported to his pa
rents as being seriously wounded.
This of course is due to the fact
that the war department always no.
titles the family before it does the
newspapers.
The notice in the Raleigh paper
yesterday stated that Mr.. and Mrs.
S. w. Venable of Durham, N. g.,
received a cablegram stating that
their son 1t. Paul Venable was
killed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Venable resided in
this city for number Of years and
the family was very popular in this
city where both were engaged in
church and social work of helpful
sort. 1t. Venable was then mere
youth but developed into very low
able and companionable fellow and
was highly esteemed by large ac-
quaintance in all parts of the State.
His death will be universally
mourned.

as never before, the party has Il
chance to sweep the State.
one of the features of the gather
:hg today was the first Republican
sre ech of Judge d. l.. Russell, OF
hickory, who has lately gone over
to the Republican ranks. 1t is
known fact and one to which he
fankly admitted yesterday that Rus
sci was not war sympathizzer at
first. The Democrats in this section
liked not his attitude. Thereafter
he lined up with the Republican par
ty. Yesterday he said tnat he mad
been misled by the Democratic
preachments, that he had found out
the people do not rule under DEM

picture of the future with himself
in a congressional seat. Jonas, too,
touched upon the war. I'VE are not

ellis you that is not patriotic"
His explanation of how the war
came to America was simple. After
