FIND OUT YOUR WANTS

Mr.. j. A. Spiers has received a
notice from the administration to
ascertain the needs of the people
along his line as to their require
ments for the winter months that
the congestion of last winter may
lie avoided. The necessity of the
industries stocking up with fuel and
is apparent since with the
movement of supplies for the army
and the domestic service which
is heavier in the winter than in the
summer the need for thought along
this line is apparent.
One of the trite sayings of the ad-
ministration is that summer never
fools the squirrel, when it is SO in
the shade he remembers 1t will be
very cold next winter

WILSON, A STOPOVER
TO GRETNA GREEN


"'Tis true, and pity 'tis it's true
that the hard and cruel laws of the
Old North State and the still more
cruel close adherence of the register
of deeds of Wilson county to those
laws, yesterday brought tears to the
eyes of a sweet little would be bride
and anguish to the heart of the nice
looking lad who would have made
her his bride. 1t all happened this
way. Mother and father emphati-
cally declared that no maid should
wed at the tender age of fifteen, even
if she were as pretty as fifteen ever
dared to be SO we'll grown young
lady that, we'll, that she looked a
mite older than she was Laura, OF
course that isn't her name, urged
that fair Julliette married at four
teen and that her own dear grand
mother, not Juliette's but Laura's,
faced the parson at sixteen, and un-
Gle Henry's first wife was only fif-
teen and a half-and, but the Milky
was fastened on the proposition and
pa and ma having solemnly and firm
ly put twist in the plans of two low
ing hearts, departed for the picture
show. Then things began to happen
Laura and John remembered just ex-
actly how Harry Meyers and Rosema-
ry Theby did the elopment stuff and
they quickly decided to understudy

advised as to the method of depart

Virginia nor of the amount of bag

know that John and Laura arrived In
Wilson on No. SO and after few in
quiries descended upon John Dildy
John Dildy is a connisseur of women
and Is a marvellous Judge of both
beauty and age. Upon first glance
he was satisfied that Laura was quail
flied in the beauty line but he figur'
ed her a bit under the age limit
That is to say he broke the sad news
that since she had not attained the
age of eighteen papa's consent must
be obtained. 1t was useless that the
blue eyed little blond beguiled him
with beseeching glances and the near
husband tore his hair and beat upor
his breast. John knew that No. 81

FIVE MILLION
AMERICAN TROOPS!
Will Be Raised to Strike Ger
many a Crushing Blow
by Next Spring
PLAN OF GOVERNMENT

Washington, Aug. S.-Backed by
a reserve Of five million American
troops, Field Marshal Foch, supreme
commander of the American and Al
lied armies, is preparing to hurl the
entire united military strength of
France, Great Britain and the Unit
ed States against the Germans on the
western front in order to bring the
war victorious conclusion in the
shortest possible time. Next spring
will see the terrific conflict, already
in progress on the Aisne-Vesle line,
in full swing with Foch's armies with
all their power.
This was the impression gained
yesterday by members of the Senate
Military Committee who heard Gen.
March, Chief of Staff, explain in ex-
ecutive reasons for asking extention
of draft age limits to include all men
between IS and As years of age. They
learned also that the definite decis-
ion to enlarge the American military
program to an army of five million
men was reached about July 80 and
is in accordance with an agreement
reached in Paris shortly after that
time.
The date when the United States
decided to more than double the
great effort it already was making
and to bring it's whole man-power to
bear Immediately may be significant.
Gen. Fochs smashing blow which
has flattened out the Aisne- Marne
salient and has thrown the whole
German frontfrom Rheims to the sea
into jeopardy was struck July 15
with American troops bearing their
full share.
1t appeared possible that the sue.
cess of that blow had influenced AM
erican officials, who continuously
have pressed for vigorous aggres-
sive campaign at the earliest possi-
Bile moment and with attention con-
centrated on the western front, to
believe that enough could be done
this year to prepare the way for
smashing military triumph next
year when the full American army
becomes available. The period OF
time covered by estimates for equip
ment and transportation for the
troops under the enlarged army plan
is understood to carry it up to next
spring
AS the project is understood, al
though no details were obtainable. il
is contemplated to place an army Of
substantially three million troops in
France before the spring campaign
opens, backed by two million more
at home, moving forward as needed.
In this connection intimations that
the British have made extraordinary
efforts to concentrate troops on the
western front in the last few months
become increasingly significant. Cou-
pied with the French and American
efforts this gives promise of such ov-
erwhelming forces in the battle next
year that a comparatively short and
bitter fight llay see the issue decid-
ed and the German army driven be-
yond the Rhine if it is not destroyed
| in he field.
In this midweek conference with
newspaper men later in the day Gen.
eral March dealt with the battle Sit
| uatlon in general terms and referred
TO this appearanve before the Senate
Committee only to deny report
that he fixed the military program at
landing eighty-four American diyis-
ions in France by next day. He had
made no such statement, he said.

pulse the attack, used guns Of n and
los calibre and Minnenwerfers. They
had them on the higher ground, con-
siderably to the rear of the battle
line. The American guns did excel-
lent work not only in covering the
advance, but in breaking up forma-
tions, especially one large assem-
blage of infantry.

The attack southeast of Amiens
on the Montdidier sector is intended
for the purpose of driving the Ger
mans from this region. In this place
the British are holding the lines and
south of Villerse- e-Brettonneaux. Last
week the Germans withdrew south
of the Ayre river and southwest OF
Montdidier and the attack on the
British is to straighten out this line
and get command of this territory.

The next morning the four reported

large towns in the rear of the lines
with an easy job. When it came our

A strong wind had arisen and dis
persed the gas.
They told me that had been "out"
for three hours; they thought l was
dead.
The attack had been repulsed after
a hard fight. Twice the Germans had
gained a foOthold in our trench, but
had been driven out by counter-at-
tacks. The trench was filed with their
dead and ours. Through a periscope
l counted eighteen dead Germans in
our wire; they were a CHASTITY sight in
their notwithstanding respirators.
l examined my first smoke helmet.
A bullet had gone through it on the
left side, just grazing my ear. The
gas had penetrated through the hole
made in the cloth.
Out of our crew of six we lost two
killed and two wounded.
That night we buried all Of the dead,
excepting those in No Mans Land. In
death there is not much distinction;
friend and foe are treated alike.
After the wind had dispersed the
gas the r. A. M. G. got busy with their
chemical sprayers, spraying out the
dugouts and low parts of the trenches
to dissipate any fumes Of the German
gas which may have been lurking in
same.
Two days after the gas attack l was
sent to division headquarters, in an
swer to an order requesting that cap
tains of units should detail a man

Traits of Bird Lovers.

Years ago, during winters visit
in London, I used to watch the per-
sons who regularly fed the birds in
Hyde park. / noticed that most OF
them were people Of apparently hum
BILE circumstances, few pretty close
to undertaking themselves. 1t was
delightful to see how much pleasure
they all took in keeping these birds
from hunger.
Two that I saw each day for a
week or so, evidently husband and
wife, l ventured to speak to. Eagerly
they talked about the birds as they
might have talked abors children,
noting and relishing individual char
acteristics.
"We have become so fond of them"
said the wife "They recognize us
now, many of them, and few come
to us quite fearlessly. We should
feel quite uncomfortable IL we should
miss a day. They are like members
of the family that have to be cared
for"-Exchange.
