ENEMY APPEARS
 EXHAUSTED AMI.
 BADLY BEATEN
Germans Now Occupy Old
 Trenches Between Foul quescourt and Rove. No Signs of Counter Offensive
TRepubllcan A, p, Leased Wire1

FRANCE. Aug. f4NlBy The Associ- ated Press)-In the battle area be- tween Fouquescourt and Rove, the en- emy appears to be in fairly strong position in the old trenches behind the rusty wire erected prior to July, 1916. This area is strongly garrisoned.
 There are no immediate signs of counter offensive. The enemy seems to have accepted defeat.
 IL is believed the Germans are some what nervous. According to the talk of prisoners, at least five and prob ably more enemy divisions have been withdrawn from the fighting in an ex- hausted condition.
 Australians Straighten Line
 The Australians have cleared the enemy from Cateaux wood, just south of Bray, strengthening their line St the river and eliminating an enemy strong point Southeast of Boisleux-St Mare, south of Arras, the Germans attempted q raid on the allied positions Four managed to get in, and one was killed and the others wounded. All the hos tile positions between the western out skirts cT Bray and Etinehem are in the hands of the Australians who now con- trol the nor>Aern bank of the Somme southwest or bfdN.
 Huns Leave Man Traps
 The Germans have not desisted from the practice of leaving man traps in the territory from which they have been chased. The body of a British officer found in Aveluy wood had a German grenade attached to the wrist in such a manner that it would have exploded had not the body been moved cautiously.
 WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON THE VESLE, Aug. 14.-(By The As sociated Press) s)-From one end to the other of the Franco American line be- tween Soissons and Reims and far into the back areas. the Germans dropped bombs from the air before daylight today The remainder of the day was confined to a sluggish reciprocal artil- lery duel.
 Enemy Attacks Repulsed
 On the Hanks of the position. which are held by the French, light attacks were repulsed during Tuesday night The French also were subjected 10 bomb attacks At no point has there been any alteration in the line.
 Not since the German retreat halted has there been aerial raids of the mag nitude of the one today. The Ameri- cans stood up well under the lombard ment The front line was pounded and almost every village and the roads be- tween were subjected to the lombard ment. but the great number of bombs fell on unoccupied ground. This was taken to indicate that the German air men were striking more or less blindly Allied anti aircraft guns hampered the enemy somewhat.
 Enemy Line Only Temporary
 The present German line. which i' still regarded as only a temporary one depends on defense of machine guns and airplanes. The enemy has con centrated machine guns at about on' every fifty yards. density rarely ef- fected. Their aerial defense relatively is far superior to any established hith- erto on this front.

LIEUT.. DONALD ROSS SPEAKS.

A packed audience greeted Lieut..
Donald L. Ross, of Canada, at the
Comus Theatre Wednesday afternoon,
where that distinguished visitor in an
hours talk electrified his hearers.
The meeting was called to order by
Mr.. Ledyard, who called on Rev.
Dodds, of Verona to offer an invo-
cation. Hon. S. P. Clayton, in a
fervid and patriotic introduction,
presented Lieutenant Ross as sol
dier who had been over the top and
came with message direct from the
trenches.
Lieut. Ross was greeted by his en-
thusiastic audience, who rose to their
feet and cheered for several minutes
when he stepped to the front. He
stated that he would not make a
.saeech but would endeavor as far as
possible to answer many questions
asked him about conditions over
there. He reviewed the trip across,
the landing in England, the exper-
ience of six days stay in the great
city of London, and then the crossing
of the channel into France and the
progress made by the soldier as he
goes finally to the first line trenches.
He told of the experiences of those
who met the enemy before the big
guns were placed behind the lines,
and before the Allies began the use
of the barage when their men went
to meet the enemy. He told of the
deadly hand to hand combats and
stated that the Germans were afraid
of cold steel, that they took to their
heels when attacked with the bayonet.
He described the life led in the
trenches and the hardships of the
firing line. He aroused great enthu-
siasm when he said that the allied
lines may bend, but will never break.
Lieut.. Ross stated that there were
now about 100000 Americans on the
firing line and assured the relatives
and friends of our soldier boys that
none of them would be rushed into
service before they were fit, that they
will be given thorough training IN the
new methods of warfare practiced on
the battle fields of France.
A very strong appeal was made by
Lieut.. Ross for the support OF the
government by the purchase OF Lib
erty Bonds, that only through this
means can our soldiers and the sol
diers of the Allies be supported IN
the great fight they are making IN the
cause of liberty.
Lieut.. Ross was wounded twice
during the ten trips that he had
made cover the top" He returns
Sunday night to Winnepeg, his home,
and will be in France agaif, by the
| 10th of May. A great ovation was
extended him at the close of his talk.
He was driven to Okolona by party
composed of Mayor Robins, G. r.
Strain, S. j. High, George Maynard
and F. L. Kincannon, where he spoke
Wednesday night.

CHARLES JASPER TRAPP

Died, at the home of his sister,
Mrs. G. L. Francis, in Nettleton, at
o'clock Sunday morning, April 21,
1913, Charles Jasper Trapp, aged SO
years.
Mr.. Trapp had been in feeble
health for number of years, and it
became necessary at five different
times for him to go under the sur
geon's knife. His condition just
previous to his death was considered
more favorable than it had been for
some time. He was on the road on
his regular trip up to Friday. having
been in Tupelo Thursday. Friday
morning he was taken i'll and Satur
day his condition was serious. He
grew rapidly worse, and fully con-
scious Of his impending fate, he
quietly and peacefully fell into that
sleep that knows no waking.
Charles Jasper Trapp was the son
of the late j. L. and Ellen Trapp, and
was born at Verona January 25,
1882. His parents moved to Moore
willie, where he grew to manhood. His
education was received in the public
schools of the day. When he grew
to mans estate he moved to Nettle-
ton, where he embarked in the mer-
camille business with his brother-in-
law, Frank Green, in which business
he was very successful. In this bus
mess he displayed those qualities of
sobriety, morality, integrity and
promptness which drew around him
a circle of friends who remained with
him until the end of his life. His
health failing he was forced to take
more outdoor exercise, and he went
on the road as travelling salesman for
Memphis grocery firm. He soon
built up trade that was lucrative
and which stood by him. In his So
cial life no young man in the county
enjoyed wider popularity. His
friends were drwan to him by the
goodness of his heart, and he was as
true to them as steel. When mere
boy he connected himself with the
Methodist church and was a stead
! fast Christian who took an active part
in all church work and deeds of
charity in his community.
In his affliction he displayed the
fortitude of the stole. No word of
complaint ever fell from his lips, but
always cheerful and hopeful he brav-
+ ed misfortunes that came to him and
met his fate like lone who wraps the
drapery Of his couch about him and
+, lies down to pleasant dreams"
The funeral services were held at
| the Methodist church Monday morn
ing at 10 o'clock, conducted by the
pastor, Rev. j. E. Thomas. Mr..
! Thomas paid high tribute to the
memory and character of his depart
ed young friend, from whose life he
had drawn Christian inspiration
since he had known him. Mr.. Wagner,
a member of the firm for whom he
travelled. was present and paid high
tribute to the character of Mr.. Trapp,
stating that his connection with the
firm had brought strong business and
social ties between them. The church
could not hold the friends who came
to pay their last tribute Of respect.
The chancel was filled with many
beautiful floral designs which were
laid above his grave.
The pail bearers were: Arch Nc
Dufie, Elga Smith, Lon w. Lowe, Ivy
Johnson, Henry Riley, Eds McDuffie,
VIM. Mayfield and Jim Wiygul.

there
In this busy age many buy their
homes, automobiles, pianos and talk

Uncle Sam says. Why not buy gov
ernment bonds in this manner? We
can whip the Germans with our
money, but not with the money in our
pockets or bank accounts. It must so
into the United States treasury in sub
scriptions to Liberty Bonds.
To win this war quickly. and deci-
sively, it is necessary to enlist the CO

ter way to do this than by effecting q
general participation in the invest.

PARTIAL PAYMENT PLAN
FOR LIBERTY LOAN
Wage Farmers May Obtain Bonds and
Pay in Weekly Installments.

The government partial payment"
plan Is being adopted by many of the
cities and towns throughout the
Eighth Federal Reserve District for
handling the TIL. / Liberty Loan,
which starts April 6. Committees have
been appointed In several cities to
work out details in connection with
the plan. 1t is thought that no form
of subscriptions to be used in the sale
of the bonds will reach anything like
the aggregate number of subscribers
who will take advantage of this meth
cd of purchasing.
In st. Louis committee of bankers
has been active shaping arrangements

weekly installments.
F. o. Watts, president Third Ma
tional Bank of st. Louis and chairman
of the Metropolitan Committee of the
Liberty Loan Organization for tic
Eighth Federal Reserve District, is
highly enthusiastic over the plan.
During the previous loans, Mr..
Watts said, there were, approximately
$4,000 subscriptions in st Louis which
were taken on a weekly installment
plan. but in his opinion that city
ought to have $4,000 subscribers to
the weekly payment plan. That IS the
goal set by the present committee for
the Third Liberty Loan Bond issue.
OF the Al banks in st. Louis, 4s have
signed up to cooperate in pushing the
weekly payment subscriptions, and

scriptions, approved by the st. Louis
Clearing House Association, as well
