United War Work.

The campaign to raise $1,000
in Richmond County for the
United War Work Campaign
begins this morning and
continues through the week.
Greet the canvassers willingly,
give freely and know in your
heart you are contributing to a
most worthy cause. The fact
that the war is the same as over
should not make your contribu-
/ tion, one whit the less.
Rather should your contribu-
ton be the more, for now with
peace assured the need of Y. M.
Ct. A.. huts and other relief
agencies will be all the more
needed since the boys have ceas-
ed fighting. They will need
every good influence to the end
that they may return stronger
and better men.
An especial impetus was given
the Drive, by the presence in
Rockingham Saturday of State
Director Dunlap, of Tennessee,
and a Canadian Captain, Mr..
Quinn. A luncheon was served
at The Rockingham, which was
attended BY representatives from
Moore, Montgomery and Rich
mond counties. w. N. Everett,
the district chairman, presided.
The finishing touches were given
to the plans for the Drive. Mr..
Dunlap and Capt. Quinn brought

INTERVENTION IN SIBERIA IS
NECESSARY As MILITARY DIVERSION

Toxic. July 1S.--(Correspondence
of the Associated Press,) One of
the arguments set forth here in fav-
or OF a combined Intervention by
the entente nations in Siberia was
that II was imperative as military
diversion. The European nations In
the entente we're represented as be-
lloving that IL the expeditionary
forces did not penetrate into Russia
as far as the old battle line on the
eastern front. II would nevertheless,
relieve the French front and force
the Germans again to prepare to
meet an adversary on the eastern
front.
1t was urged here that an expedl-
tlon composed of forces Of the lead
Ing entente nations would be abso-
lutely friendly toward Russia and
would rally to its force Russian ele-
ments which are believed to be bit
terly opposed to the German domina-
tion. 1t was also contcnded that
such an expeditonary force would
counteract the economic and indus
trial, as well as political, penetra.
tion of Russia by the Germans.
The indications here are that the
economic aspects of the war are at
tanning very important stage and
the belief is expressed that II Russis
is left alone there Is danger of hel
falling permanently under the eco
nomic grip Of the Germans.
France, which has made immens,
loans to Russia, was said here to be
lieve that military move from tn,
East, cautiously conducted, woult
save something to the entente o

their tremendous economic interests
in Russia.
England was described as fearing
German advance toward the Indian
frontier and as feeling that a joint
Intervention would protect the situa-
tion in that direction.
Japan and China, who are now
united in military agreement, have
the interest of protecting themselves
against the advance of the German
menace to the Far East and are be-
lieved to be sympathetic to any pro-
iect which would check possible east
ern aggressions.
Still another consideration raised
here as justifying Intervention is
that Germany Is steadily employing
Russians in her munition plants and
general enterprises connected with
the war and is thus able to relieve
large number Of her own citizens
FOR service on the western front. This
development is declared to be a new
menace which is liable to lengthen
the war. Advocates of Intervention
insist that 1t should be of nature
to hold and reconstruct Russia.
/ From a military standpoint. 1t is
understood that the Japanese army
Is ready for any emergency.
AS prominent diplomat told the
correspondent, Washington has only
to push the button and Intervention
will come Immediately"
The opponents Of Intervention
question It's advisability. They think
It would be steadily opposed by the
Bolshevlki and prove to be an error
similar to that Of Gallipoli and Ru-
mania.

$40 A YEAR REQUIRED

Washington, Aug. Special
taxes OF $40 year on occupation or
profession, except war Industry
trades, farmers, teachers and minis
'fcrs OF the gospel were written into
the $4,000, 100000 war revenue bill
today by the house ways and means
committee. A similar tax was placed
upon any business with receipts OF
$4,000 n year or more, with levy OF
S25 year on wholesale houses with
receipts OF 5000, 900 or more.
Newspapers. press associations and
periodicals were exempted from the

In addition to the ordinary tax OF

wholesale. the committee put n 10
per cent tax on retail sales Of jewelry
composed wholly or partly of plati-

Reno. New. Aug, i4.-Resolutions

night by the resolutions committee
Of the American Gold conference
and placed before the conference for
discussion today.
Under the plan, the war Industries
board of the government win be
asked to determine the amount OF
bonus to be paid, baslng its estimate
on the increased cost OF gold produc-
ton now as compared with 1914. It
Is unoffIclally estimated by mining
men at the conference that the cost
of producing gold now Is go per cent
greater than in 1914. which would
call for bonus of approximately s12
an ounce.

Paris. Aug. 14.-Whether the al
lied forces. reinforced by the troops
which have been and are pouring
toward the front. resume their drive
or not, the fact remains that the Ger
mans have been completely out
maneuvered and a victory has been
won.
As the result OF the continuous
pressure exerted by General Hum
bert on the line OF the hills Of Rol-
lot and Boulogne-La-Grasse the fall
OF Lasslgny is imminent. and 1t may
even have occurred already. The
enemy defense is now being offered
by mobile groups OF machine gum
ners. At the same time the Germans
are bombarding the French rear with
their field guns.
Prisoners taken yesterday. most OF
them quite young said that REIN
forcements for Won Hutier were not
expected and that the troops on the
enemy line we're only there to cover

Speculation is rife as to Marshal
Foch's next move-whether he will
continue to press his advantage on
the Somme and the Disc or strike
elsewhere along the front.

With the French Army In France.
Aug. 1.-THE situation since the
battle OF the Avre shows a change.
which for rapldity and extent has
rarely been approached In military
history. Marshal Foch's strategy and
mastery tactics have In three weeks
wrested from the Germans what re-
qulred four months for them to OBJ
tain at a cost variously estimated at
from 5000 to 100000 men.
The immediate results OF che coun-
ter offenslves which win have the
greatest bearing on subsequent oper-
ations are the clearing OF the Cha
teau-Thierry pocket. ending the men,
ace to Epernay and Paris; the llber-
alton OF Montdidier. ending the men.
ace to Amlens; the freeing Of the
important eastern railroad line from
Paris to Chalons and the equally
important northern line from Paris
to Amiens, restoring to the allies
means of communication which give
them enormously greater ease In fu-
ture movements Of troops.
These successes render impossible
any rupture Of the line which would
separate the French armies Of the
center from those to the east, or a
rupture OF the junction between the
French and British.
The most disastrous consequence
to the Germans, aside from the
heavy losses they sustained in men
and material, is the collapse OF their
plan to drive wedges into the allied
lines and the subsequent widening
and joining which would have
threatened general dislocation.
Marshal Foch's strategy is reduc-
