PAPER MAKERS
TAKE TITLE TO
Us ACRE AREA
Cigarette Paper Manufac-
turing to Be New In
dustry For U. S.
WILL USE LOCAL
LABOR in PROJECT

BREVARD, May 5.-Announce-
ment that the Ecusta Paper cor
poration, of Delaware and New
York, had purchased more than
200 acres of land in Pennsylvania
county and would soon begin the
construction of a $4,000, 200
' plant for the manufacture of fine
cigarette paper on Davidson river,
two and a half miles north of
Brevard, was made here yester-
day.
Establishment of the plant in
this county marks the beginning
of new industry in this country.
Formerly manufacturers Of cigar
cites in the United States have
been dependent upon paper inn
ported from abroad.
The new plant when completed
is expected to employ between
three and four hundred people.
Operation is expected to begin
early in 1899 and four cigarette
paper machines will be installed.
The estimated outlay for the
plant is two million dollars.
Deeds for 225 acres to be used
as a plant site were transferred
and recorded hese this morning.
Detailed plants for construction
work on the plant are expected to
be announced within the next two
months. Engineers expected to
employ between two and three
hundred men on the job and local
labor will be used as far as pos
sible.
Officials of the company report
ed that the site was selected after
a consideration of many possible
locations and after a study of all
factors involved, extending over
the better part of year. OFFICIALS
reported that the best conditions
for a plant of this type, including
an abundant quality of pure
mountain water, necessary for
this type of manufacturing, were
found here.
In formal statement it was re-
ported that: "The contemplated
plant will, in many respects, marx
what is, in effect, the beginning
of a new industry in the United
States. Almost all of the hlgh
type of cigarette paper, used by
the leading and best known clga-
rette manufacturing companies IN
their national brands is at the
present time imported from
France.
"The purpose of the new Amer
lean plant will be to produce pa
per of this same high STANDARD
with the added factor that II Is
expected to use American I'd"

Communists Say Way Is

Hopei Peasants
EMPIRE NOW FULL
TOTALITARIAN STATE
By ROBERT BELLAIRE
United Press Staff Correspondent

SHANGHAI, May 5.-(UP)-A
spokesman for the Chinese war
office in Hankow today said divi-
sions of the Chinese regular army
and scores of guerilla bands were
attacking the Japanese at more
than a dozen points along an IT.
regular line of about 1000 miles
from Hangchow, capital of Che
kiang province, through Anhwei,
Shantung, Shansi and Hopei pro-
vinces.
He said $4,000 Japanese soldiers
have been killed in the fighting In
South Shantung province since
May /, and that 5000 have been
killed this week in the series OF
futile Japanese attacks on Taierh-
chwang-the key point northeast
of Suchow-fu which the Chinese
captured last month.
East of Taierhchwang, the
spokesman said. Chinese columns
have driven a wedge into the Jap
anese positions north of Pi-hslen
and advanced l2 miles, forcing
the Japanese vanguard to retreat
from Liang-fang-shan to war d $
Hsuchien.
A study of the map, however,
showed that the Chinese victories
were important only in that they
represented a series of harasslng
operations which, if the Chinese
can continue them long enough,
eventually may so weaken the Jap
anese that they will have to aban-
don vital conquered areas.
The real key points of the North
China provinces and the langtse
river delta remained firmly in Jap
anese hands and there was no in
dication the Chinese would be able
to menace them in the near fu-
ture. =,
A Chinese spokesman said the
ragged Japanese line of fortlned
positions north of Taierhchwang
had been pushed back about hVe
miles during the past "a hours as
result of a series of Chinese coun-
ter attacks.

REPORT 1000
REBEL FORCES
ARE WIPED OUT.
Loyalists Claim Moors,
Francois Fiercest Men,
Killed in Battle

HENDAYE, Franco Spanish
Frontier, May 5. (UP)-More
than 1000 African Moors, re-
garded as Generalissimo Francis
co Francois fercest warriors,
were reported in Loyalist dis
patches last night to have been
wiped out in the town of Ell Pobo,
Is miles northeast of Teruel.
The government account said
the battle, fought with BayonetS,
hand grenades and the curved
blades of the Moors, had halted
Francois efforts to blast a path
across the mountains from Teruel
to the Mediterranean seacoast.
The Insurgents denied the 10y
alist claims of victory and said
the twon of Ell Pobo, captured
Tuesday by Gen. Jose Varela' s
troops swinging soutward from
Aliaga, remained in Insurgent
possession despite repeated gov
eminent counter-attackS.
simultaneously, the Loyalist
nounced they had proof of fresh
German military intervention on
the side of Francois armies, in
Guiding the arrival of high Ger
man staff officers and munitions.
Government dispatches describ-
ing the battle of Ell Polo, which
has changed hands four times,
said anti-tank guns and artillery
batteries were hidden in the en-
circling mountains in readiness
for Varela's 1nSurgent attack.
Heavy Rebel air and artillery
commandments failed to destroy
the guns, and the Insurgents were
driven back, the Republican dis
patches said.
They asserted that two Moroc-
can battalions filtered through the
first lines late yesterday, but the
Loyalist reinforcements trapped
one and slaughtered the men with
grenades and bayonets. The other
battalion escaped.
Edward Depury, United Press
correspondent at SaragosSa, re-
ported that the Insurgents cut of
the road below Villaroya De Los
Pinnares leading to fortanete and
Cantavieja, east of Ell Polo. He
said the maneauver blocked the
Loyalists' retreat in the Allepuz
sector.
The only road still open led
through Mora De Rubielos to the
main highway from Teruel to
Sagunto on the coast, Depury
said.
Loyalist Foreign Minister Julio
Alvarez Del Vayo, discussing Ger
man intervention, told the foreign
press in Barcelona that Germany
not only intensified her interyen-
ton to aid the rebels, but high
German staff officials recently ar
rived in rebel SPAIN"
