Australians Strike Back at Germans Near Morlancourt, Between the Ancre and Somme Rivers, and Advance Lines Nearly Mile as Result of Two Assaults— Canadians Appear in Arras Sec tor Farther South Than They Have Been Since Battle in This Region Began on March 31 ANOTHER ATTACK BV HUNS ON YPRES SECTOR IS LOOKED FOR l Australian and Canadian troops are in action along the British lines on the vital sectors of the battle front in France. The Australians have struck the Germans near Morlancourt, between the Ancre and Somme rivers, east of Amiens, and have advanced their lines upwards of three-quarters of a mile, as a result of two assaults on j the Teutonic positions. The Canadians have appeared in the Arras sector farther south than they have been since tlie battles in this region began on March .1. This part of the line is most important as it defends Arras to the south west and includes localities such as XeuviUe-VJtasse, Mercatel and Kois Be Aux-St. Mare, where they have been bitter struggles hince the Ger mans launched their great offensive. American troops on the French front not far from Montdidicr hate been under a storm of shells for the past couple of days, projectiles con taining high explosives being mm i gled with those charged w ith polson otis gas being fired into the lines held by (Jen. Pershing’s men. Along the rest of the front in France there have been no engagements of an unusual character nor has the Italian front been attacked as yet by the Aus trians who have gathered there. The British forces which have been holding the town of JSs-Salt, east of the Jordan and northeast of Jericho, for about a week, have been compelled again to abandon the place before su perior forces of Turkish and German troops. The British, however, are still maintaining their control of the cross ings of the Jordan further south. From tlie official reports and special dispatches filed by correspondents at the front there come Intimations that heavy fighting may be resumed at any time. The fact that heavy rains arc falling may have a great deal to do with the delay in the German drive. There is a feeling along the French front that the Germans may attack in the Ypres, Arras and Amiens sectors at the same time. These blows, while car ried on independently, would really be phases of a new attempt to cut througu the lines the komme sector, eliminate the Arras sector anrl carry the high ground southwest of Ypres. .Observers have pointed out that an attack on the Arras sector, either on the apex between Arras and Lens or on the sides of the allied lines as they stretch back from those ties, must come be fore the. Germans can hope to carry their advance in cither Flanders or Pic ardy much further. It is reported that heavy forces are being gathered before Arras for the expected attack. I.ittlo relative to the internal situation in Aus tria lias come over the cables, but from Serbian sources it is learned that on at least two occasions there have been clashes between the Slovenian popula tion of that country and the Germans. The methods by which the German military authorities have dealt with the l kranians have been denounced in both Berlin and Vienna by Socialist leaders. GERMAN RAIDS REPULSED IN REGION OF LOC.RE London, May fi.—German raids to day against the French positions in the region of Lucre, in Flanders were repulsed, in the operations between the Somme, and the Ancro last night rays the official statement from Field Marshal Haig tonight, the British captured more titan "00 prisoners. The artillery has been active on both sides of both battle fronts. 85 at Portland Portland. Me.. May 6.—Maximum temperature of 85 degrees above zero was recorded at the Portland weath er bureau today which is the record for this early in the season. THE BRITISH TROOPS ARE IN FINE FETTLE I _ Despite Ordeal Passed and Casualties Suffered EVERYWHERE IS FOUND QUIET CONFIDENCE British Military Mission in This Country Gives out Statement Reviewing Con duct of Allied Troops in Re cent Great Offensive j Washington, May 6.—The situation for the Allies on the western front has improved eonsiderablv since the failure of the German drive on April 21, in the opinion of the British mili tary mission here. Since the first news of the present battle, said a statement by the mission today, the German casualties have increased in proportion to the decrease on allied side. The enemy cannot renew the offensive, the statement said, until he replaces with fresh divisions those that suffered so heavily in the last battle. The mission's statement said: "The enemy has not renewed his attack in l-'ranoe since his fifth costly failure on April 29. when the divi sions engaged suffered so severely 'that they had to be withdrawn, and I fresh divisions will have to be sub- j stltuted before the enemy ran re- j I sume the offensive. Since the first few days of the present battle the j German casualties have been increas ing as quickly in proportion as the allied casualties have decreased and now with the French and fresh Brit ish reserve available the situation, though bound to be an anxious one for some time jet, has considerably improved. Despite the ordeal through which they have passed and their casual ties. the British have never been in finer fettle and all along the line is to be found the quiet confidence of men who have faced the worst and overcome it. One of the most re markable features of the recent fight ing lias been the magnificent con duct cf the new draft. Their be Ihavior has had much, to rlo with the high morale which permeates all ranks at the present time. "During the recent fighting the rn emy's expenditure of ammunition has been enormous. The intense bom bardment previous to the attack on the 29th of April lasted for over la hours, and. carried out as it was with the utmost intensity and con centration ever vet achieved during the war. must have emptied his dumps and caused the present lull in the fighting whilst he replenishes his depots.” 15,000 Gas Shells Thrown at Americans on Picardy Front And Followed by In tense Artillery Fire —Enemy Airplanes Are Also Employed and One German Ma chine Is Brought Down and Another Damaged With the American Forces on the French Front. May 6.—I By the As sociated Press) The Germans launched a heavy pas attack against the American troops on the Picardy front during last night. Early in the evening they sent over tiiteen thous and shells, composed chiefly of mus j lai d gas. within a brief period. These shells were followed by an intense artillery fire and at midnight several hundred gas shells were dropped into the American lines. Enemy airplanes appeared over the American lines about the same time. Anti-aircraft guns brought down one German machine and damaged an other. The extreme activity of the artil lery and aviators, the rifle fire and nighttimes and the reported move ments behind lit enemy lines in this sector may forecast a new attack, hut Gen. Pershing's men are ready for any emergency. They are coun tering the enemy preparations blow for blow, keeping up a harrassing ar tillery rifle and machine gun fire, and are actively patrolling. The spirit of ti e Americans is ex cellent. They me eager to tight and a typical expression is: "Let Fritz start something. He'll get all that s coming to him.' A young French captain who trained the men now in the Picardy lines t'i'.d the Associated Press to day he never had seen finer material.

Count Czernin's visit was known of only in the highest official circles and the fact that it was paid is reveal'd now for the first time through the correspondent of The Associated Press, who accompanied the mis sion. The reason for the visit was that the Germans and Austrians had determined to bring to a speedy con clusion the negotiations with Ruma nia, and had decided that a throat delivered in person by the head of the Austro-Hungarian foreign office would be more effective than reams of documents. Count Czernin arrived In Jassy about Feb. 25 and went straight to the King. His message was stern, unbending, ruthless. He told the King bluntly that Rumania must coricluds peace on Germany's terms and do ,t immediately. There must he no fur ther delays and unless Rumania con stated to this program tho Central l owers proposed issuing a ukase de posing the Rumanian royal house and dividing the entire, country be tween Austria and Bulgaria. The Rumanian King saw no way out and a week later the formal peace negotiations were begun. The coun I try and cabinet was in a state of de jection from the date of Count Czer nin’s sensational secret session. Quoen Marie fought bitterly against 1 any and all peace talk from the be I ginning and site had the support of I the. Crown Prince anil a considerable I ody of the Rumanian public. The I King and the cabinet, however, saw I no possibility of escape. Three days I before the negotiations were opened thr was a crown council ai which I tlie subject of peace was fully uis II ussed.

At this moment Skoropauski, j attired in the Circassian uniform, en tered a box in the hall, amid great en thusiasm. The general then walked to the stage where, bowing bis aeknowi 1 odgment of the, loud applause, lie pro i claimed himself ruler cf the Ukraine in i these words: 'Only a strong government can help us. I shall rely upon your oath.' “General Skoropauski afterwards is I sued this manifesto: j 'The Ukranian state arose, thanks to the powerful help of the Central Powers which, loyal to their promises, j will continue to light for the security of j the Ukraine.' “The manifesto also dismissed all tha ministers and re-established the right to private property.’’ REPUBLICAN HEADQUARTERS OPENED IN N.

WILSON Washington, May 6.—Upon learn ing of the publication of letters and messages iddr. -set! to him by ITes blent Wilson it connection with the aircraft program.

Mr. Borgium said he had noticed the publicity given his correspond ence with something' more than a shock and that he could hardly in terpret it as friendly. In the course of a long letter he declared that the “Aero department is full of profiteer ing and that hundreds of millions have gone” and that when he com menced his investigation from an of fice in the war department building assigned to him, his work was sys tematically blocked, to the extent even of threatening witnesses. He named in this connection Stanley King, assigned as an aide to his work and asserted that Maj. Gen. Squier, thief of the signal corps “‘Acted in like n anner.” “Every official that I approached and from whom I had the right to re ceive aid and (curtesy entered into; a general conspiracy to deceive and to mislead and to prevent learning the truth aV>out the aeronautics situ ation”, the letter continued. "I do not presume to give the reason for this.” Remarking that Col. E. A. Eades and army members of the aircraft board had said st-.mi-public that 1200 American airplanes were flying in France, the sculptor asserts that in fact there are hss than 20 planes. Liberty motors ere developed for the purpose of mobilizing the engine building business in the country Borgium asserted. NO REASON GIVEN FOR DOUBLE KILLING AT CAMP UPTON, N. Y. '’amp Fpton, X. V..

In n talk to the tieorgia Manu facturers Association, speaking of the "national obligation" of our manulactuiei a to "maintain the tre mendous credit bnlani e v. hieh now' elands In our favor," Mr. Cutler said: "Perhaps the newest tint most de rlsivaly binding part of Inn obliga tion lelates to the necessity of con •.inlrg in "iir own factories as much of the precious raw materials found and produced In this country as our mantifsetuiers can turn Into goods.

That is a truly surprising utter ance to emanate from a Democrat. Contrast It with the Hayn* doctrine enunciated In 1881 and adhered to by President Wilson and the vast ma jority of Democrats to the present day. Mr. Cutler ha* all our commercial statistic* at hi* elbow.

The fact of the matter is that the Democratic tariff policy, which would receive its most vicious application under 1‘resldent Wilson's demand for a "removal of all economic barriers,” absolutely nullifies any attempt of this country to achieve the goal re ferred to by Mr. Cutler. We cannot give foreigners monoply of our mar I Wets with any expectation of getting theirs. _ Why We Live in Maine. Will B. Kendall of Bowdolnham, the well-known raiser of sheep, paid the good old State of Maine a beauti ful tribute in a ringing speech at the semi-annual meeting of the State Board of Health on March 21 at Lew iston. It was well received, as his speeches always are, but he really began to arouse enthusiasm w hen he j stated that he would be glad to con tribute liberally toward prizes to be offered under the auspices of the i State Hoard of Trade to those writers Who should submit the best 40 rea sons why Maine is the best State to I live in. re The matter was immediately ferred hy the StHto Hoard to the Ex ecutive t'ouncil. which at its meeting 1 April 13 in Brunswick unanimously voted to accept Mr. Kendall's offer, j Other generous Maine citizens have :nlso offered to contribute for the same purpose and prizes worthy of such a subject are now at the dis posal nf the Hoard of Trade. Twenty-seven prizes will be award ed, as follows: First prize of $5o to the individual who submits the great est number of reasons accepted by the committee; second prize of $25 to the one who submit the best single reason; and 25 prizes of $1 each for the 25 other contestants who submit the next best reasons. The conditions arc not difficult. They include the following require ments: Each writer will file with Sec. E. M. Blanding his or her reasons, with name and address attached, and also five copies, one for each com mitteeman, without signatures. Con test will close Dec. 1, 1918, and a de cision Is hoped by Dec. 31. The con test Is open to everyone, at home or abroad. The committee of award will Include Hon. Carl E.

Dealers in ice will now be required to report their names, post office address and schedule of prices for the seasons of 1917 and 1318 to the federal food administrator at Orono on or before May 10. 1318. Food Administrator Merrill for Maine Wednesday said that the food ad ministration la concerned that ihcre should be no profiteering in ice es pecially that the cost of ice to those elements of the community which are least able to protect themselves should not be increased over last year unless absolute proof can be given by the ice companies as to the necessity. Any increase in price over that ruling last season to the house hold consumer will therefore justify Investigation as to whether It con stitutes profiteering.

Washington, i). t\, May 4, 11U 8. Dear Mr. Editor: Hoping to he of some use this year In connecting the Department fit' Agriculture with the peopie who wanted to make "war gardens" ad vertised some weeks ago in your valuable paper for lists of names of people who wanted government seeds. It war a great success in get ting names and I have employed ex tra help for some weeks in directing franks to these patriotic citizens, but now I find that the people in the De partment of Agriculture have al 1 lotted in large measure to the north I eastern part of tho jjountry seeds which flourish in the southwestern part and have sent under my franks to lists of nnmes I gave them thou sands of packages of muskmelon, to mato and other truck useless for our people in Maine. I am chagrined that anyone who tok the trouble to write me should get such a mean result. I have used very reprehensible language to the i people cf the Agricultural Depart ment. but their good seeds have gone elsewhere. All I can do is to apolo gize for them and express the opin ion that this government seed busi ness is a nuisance and a detriment to everybody concerned besides being an unnecessary waste of money. In the future I shall earnestly favor its abolition. If you will publish this In your paper It may meet the eye of some in dignant citizen who has received a package of muskmelon seeds and perhaps turn his wrath from me. Yours truly, JOHN A. PETERS.

The idea is that they want the man in service to be one of them, and that they are right there with letters that will follow i hint “Ouer There.” How a soldier or a sailor feels towards such new friends, and what they mean in his life, is suggested in this "bread and butter” letter that a hostess in one community keeps in her top desk drawer and reads over every once in a while: “My time has been so taken tip with duties that I am just getting around to letting you know how much I enjoyed my visit to your home and the dandy present you gave me when we parted. Such kindness makes me proud to be in my country's service. "The Red Cross recently issued helmets and sweaters to the sol diers in our regiment, but by the time they got around to my com pany there was not much left, so you can see how acceptable the ones you sent are. And, say, those wrist lets: Should Fritz feel inclined to slap the Sammies on the wrist, thanks to you, I am provided with suitable armor, and the helmet shall never be replaced by another till the one now adorning the shriveled and oyster-like physiognomy of Kaiser Hill hangs dented and disfig ured from my own shoulder. "This camp is a wonderful place, brimful of ehthusiasm and a 'Ber lin-or-bust' slogan on every lip. Kach of us feels the task and duty that besets us. and we are all as siduously addressing ourselves to tlio accomplishment of a glorious vic tory, with the hope of soon loung ing around the steps of the Kaiser's iair. with a stein of Hock in one hand, and the stars and stripes in the other, drinking to the Grand Old l'. S. A. and the people who have stood right behind us and made vie- tory possible.” Other letters may not express so fluently the way they feel toward the people who want to make things pleasant for them, but each ex presses in its own way the big strong tie that is being formed be tween the camp and the community. —The Boston Sunday Herald.

Foremost among these was I'nited States Steel, which j made an extreme advance of 25 points! to par. or 100. exceeding its previous maximum of the year by lj points. Steel j was confidently absorbed in single lots of 10(10 to 6000 shares, again oontribut- I ing enormously to the day's moderated' large total. Affiliated Industrials and equipments, especially Bethlehem, Crucible and Lackawanna Steels, Republic Iron and llreat Northern ore. retained the better i part of their 1 to 25 point gains, with j (leneral Klectrio, New York Airbrake and American Car. Shippings, tobaccos and sugars were j mainly representative of a visit of pro- fessional activity. Sumatra Tobacco j mounting to a new maximum on s j gross gain of 5 points to 106i. Coppers, oils and fertilizers derived much of their1 strength from poo! operations.

SKOW. 228-2 Mr. and Mr?. J. P. Thompson of Win ter St. will Wednesday observe the 5-a anniversary of their wedding day. It is unusual that a town has so many elder ly couples married the same year, among them being Kev. and Mrs. t. Emerson, Mr. and Mrs. Harrison Hes ton, Mr. and Mrs. S. M. Sawyer, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bickford and Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Mills, while Dr. and Mrs. C. V 'Richards have been married 51 years in June. All of the gentlemen named are veterans of the*Civil war and mem bers of Russell Post, G. A. R. and their wives are all members of Russell Relief Corps. Mr. Thompson has had rather an ad venturour life especially during the earl ier part of his young manhood. He was born in Bingham, 82 years ago and spent his childhood and early life in that com munity, up to the age of 17 years when he came to Skowhegan. .ae occupied various positions l trust after this change and finally accepted work with the late Joseph Malbon, as the driver of a six-horse truck team to Waterville He was thus employed for about two years but in 1856 was among those who helped to build the present railroad into town. During the earlier years of his life he also w irked in the woods win ters and in the spring found employ ment at river driving. In this variety of occupations young Thompson was engaged until 1S59 when he went to Cali fornia to work in the mines. White in that distant state the Civil war broke out and it obccienc to his country’s call on the 18ti’. day of September, 1S61 enlisted in Co 4 of the 4th Infantry of California Volunteers. At the time of enlistment if was thought the soldiers would come directly east, but instead the compan was sent to Fort Yam Hill in Oregon ir. order that Phil Sheridan who was then only a lieutenant might be re lieved. Together with other members of his family, the soldier youth was kept at Fort Yam Hill for three year3. At the end of that time a regiment which had been raised in Washington territory was sent to that locality with the result that the Californians were discharged. This was in 1864 and the war was so nearly over that Mr. Thompson did not com east and enter the service as he had planned to do, but instead journeyed to some newly discov ered mines at the head waters of the Saintain river in Oregon and there once more became a delver for mineral wealth, which was then making the West famous. His stay was not with out its privations and one winter for three months he was snowed in and cut i off from the outside world. During the early part of March he fashioned some snow shoes out of boards and started upon an 18-miie journey over the mountains. The trip was successful and when he reached the valley after his descent found the green grass was growing, in marked contrast to the ,ce and snow left behind him. From that time on Maine was hi? destination ar.d he arrived back home in April, 1866. He went to Bingham and the 8th of May was married to Miss Eva A. Cummings to whom lie had been engaged before undertaking tHe journey to the western lands, For about 20 years the couple resided in Bingham. 51 r. Thompson set tling down as a carpenter. About 25 ago they came to Skowhegan and Mr. Thompson built the house where they now reside on Winter St. He is a past commander of Russell Post while Mrs. Thompson for many years hold an office in the Relief I’orps besides being affil iated with various other organizations. They have no children. The Western Union is resuming de ferred cable service which will be of especial interest to those having rela tives or friends in military service over seas. Red Cross Shipment The Somerset Chapter ot American Red Cross will make another shipment to the Boston headquarters next Satur day the 11th. The chapter has just re ceived from Mrs. Thomas Howard of North avenue an afghan which she has knit from her own yarn and which it is needless to say was greatly appreciated by Hie local Bed Cross workers. F. E Sawyer also gave a valuable donation of a box of chocolate to the chapter to be used in the comfort kits presented the Somerset count" boys on their de parture for Camp Devens. Mrs. Mary Garland of Dexter was a recent visitor at the surgical dressing department of the local organization. Cottage owners at Lake Wesserun sett are getting their summer homes ready for occupancy, many going from here Sunday to pass a few hours there.

The roof is 40 feet high and will enable the con venient handling of the scenery equipment. James Durkin, now play ing in ‘-Success” in New York, has been engaged as theatrical manager and in his recent letter states that "my aim shall he to assemble the best company obtainable, in fact.

"S. T. 1SG0" was reputed to be a specially nice brand of St. Croix rum that was extensively advertised in New Hampshire sometime in the sixties.— l-\ W. Sanborn in Norway Advertiser. Brother Sanborn shows a lament able ignorance of the history of the country in the GO’s. Crake's Planta tion Hitters were a popular beverage throughout the land in those days, especially in country towns, and ns we recall the label it read "S. T. X-1860." We never knew the real meaning of the label but it was said Drake made a bet that herould make a certain amount of money in 10 years and undertook to do it from the sale of the hitters. The label as translated meant "Sure thing ten years from 1860.” The sale of the bitters was given a black eye when the government put them in the class with alcoholic beverages and they are no longer sold where a liquor dealer's stamp is not held.

The daughters of fc*ir Robert Shale, an Englishman, who is addicted to drink, unreliable and unlovable, Elinor and Lucy Shale, with a few devoted servants, are the only occu pants of Shale Abbey. Unable be cause of their poverty to mingle with the high society to which they belong, they live the lives of recluses until Gerald Forster, a young man of wealth and high social standing is in troduced into the Abbey. Forster is attracted toward Elinor and it is not long before their friendship ripens I into love. The Shales are invited to attend a county ball and Forster begs Elinor to accompany him, it being his pur* i pose to demand her hand in marriage after the dance. Meanwhile, Lucy 1 has been spending some days in Lon don where she becomes infatuated with Dick Tallerton. They arrange an elopment, but before this can be j accomplished, Tallerton is taken ill and dies. Lucy faces disgiaee with approaching maternity, and after making her plight known to Taller ton's family, her story being sup ported by proof, the latter settle her claims with an allowance of 400 pounds a year for the support of her j unborn child. I.uey returns to the Abbey and makes Elinor her conlidant. Forget ting all about Forster and the ball, Elinor accompanies Lucy to Brigh ton where the latter gives birth to a son, who is named Dick, for his father. Elinor finds a foster mother j for Dick in Mrs. Callard, who, be lieving Lucy to be a married woman, accepts tho trust. Deeply wounded by Elinor's con duct, Forster does not again refer to his love for her and he is sent to Egypt on a mission for the liritish government. Two years later he re turns to England. Meanwhile. Noll Dibin, having learned from Lucy’s physician the truth regarding Dick's paternity, leases Shale Abbey and after Forster’s return, accompanies him to the Abbey, lie discusses the child's paternity with Forster, but he reveals only part of the tiuth, and the impression the story conveys to Forster is that Elinor is the mother of the boy. Aggrieved, Forster es pouses Lucy and they return to Egypt, leaving Elinor heartbroken. Elinor now becomes in truth the mother of her sister's son and Dibdin falls in love with her. lie proposes marriage, but she declines his offer. Lucy becomes the mother of a sec ond child and with her husband re turns to England. She becomes jealous of Dick's love lor Elinor and vainly to win the child’s love for her self. Forster is ordered to return to Egypt at once to quell a mutiny and Lucy resolves to take Dick with her. When Elinor learns of this, she up braids Lucy for her conduct and threatens to rereale the truth to Forster, unless she agree to permit' Dick to remain in England with her. Lucy appeals to her sister to pre serve her secret from Forster, who. she affirms, now loves her. She promises to make amends to Elinor by confessing the truth to her husband on their return to Egypt and with that understanding Elinor consents to remain silent. Lucy leaves the boy in Elinor’s custody and later the latter finds happiness as little Dick's foster mother and as the wife of Dib din, r\ ho, having discovered her worth as a woman, successfully urges her to become his bride.—Adv. Vivian Martin in a New Story at the Opera House. Down in her heart. Betsy Burke. Daukhter of Sheriff Burke, has great admiration for the manly qualities of "Cocopah Kid," a would-be tough man, so when he gets into a scrape and falls inlo the hands of the Sheriff. Betsy pleads for him with her father. "'Jocopah Kid” is released and Betsy begs him to prove himself a real man. which he fervently promises to do when the chance presents itself. Sheriff Burke is called to Chicago suddenly and he resolves to send Betsy to Uncle Jim Murphy at Gold Center. There being a gold rush on at the time the sheriff is unable to tind accommodation for Betsy on the train and he is obliged to send her by express. This arrangement conclud ed Betsy is entrusted to the care of Donegan, the express agent at Gold Center. Among the miners who have made Cold Center their headquarters, are several scoundrels under the leader ship of ‘‘Gentleman Joe” Slade, a gambler of ill repute. ’Vith his men, Slade has succeeded in imprisoning all decent citizens and is holding them in custody while his men are looting the town. Among those im l risoned by Slade is Uncle Murphy, who is thereby unable to claim her or pay the express charges and his niece, in consequence, is held at the express office as “unclaimed goods.” This novel situation begins as a joke, and Betsy and Danny are hav ing a good time of it when Slade, after having seen and admired Betsy, learns the truth. He demands that Danny, as express agent, carry out the provisions of the law regarding unclaimed goods, and to sell the girl NOTICE V- e, Au&usta- Maine.

The situation now becomes serious, for nothing is heard of Uncle Mur- j phy, who is kept a close prisoner by Slade. Danny has to feed, water and i exercise the pretty consignment in- i trusted to his care, and he fulfils this function with marked devotion j to duty. Betsy seeks to escape, h~'w- ever, and the guard stationed by Slade is mysteriously shot. Betsy flees back to the office and Slade i threatens to buy Betsy for 30 cents. Uncle Murphy, now in a desperate j situation, wages his mining claim against Betsy's right to escape, and loses. Slade and his cut-throats mean while have cut off communication between Gold Center and the out side world and the opportunity for “Cocopah Kid” to prove himself a real man, now presents itself. He gallops to a nearby town and tele graphs the facts to Sheriff Burke, j who hastens westward on the next train. “Cocopah Kid” returns to Gold Center and arrives just as the auc- i tion sale of the “unclaimed goods” j at the express office is about to take place. Danny refuses to call the auction, whereupon Slade and his men take j matters in hand. Slade has just bid 30 cents tor Betsy when "Cocopah j Kid” enters and bids against him. i This provokes a battle in which “Co copah Kid,” Danny and Betsy hold off the Slade band until a posse j headed by Burke reaches the scene.

RED GROSS FILMS TO BE SHOWN AT COLONIAL SUNDAY j

Local Chapter Will Give Free Show to Tell in Moving Pic- tures the Story of the Work the Red Cross Is Doing—Pictures' Declared Best of the Kind Ever Taken The first move in the campaign of showing Augusta people how the Red Cross spent their first $100,000. 000 and of explaining why another $1,000,000,000 is needed will be taken next Sunday when free Red Cross moving pictures will be shown at the Colonial theater, afternoon and eve ning. These moving pictures were fur- nished by the governments of the I'nited States and of France for the j exclusive use of the American Red Cross and are declared to be as fine! examples of motion picture photogra- j phy as have ever been produced. i T^hesc pictures include a flvo-reeler, “France in Arms,” and two others, j “Field Service on the Western Front" J and ‘Humanity’s Appeal.” These pie-! turns require about an hour and a! half to run. It is planned now to give three or four showings of these pictures in Augusta on Sunday—probably two af- j ternoon shows and one or two in the evening. These pictures will be en- virelv free and no collections <r: pledges will be taken. Some first clasF speaker will address the audience for n few minutes. The pictures which are shown here Sunday will be exhibited at Togus oa Monday, May 13; at Winthrop on j Tuesday, May 14. and at Hallowell or. j Wednesday, May 13, BECOMES RED CROSS NURSE Miss Marjorie Wright Leaves for Waynesville, N. C., to Serve in Base Hospital at Cantonments Miss Marjorie Wright, a graduate [of the Augusta General hospital I training school, left Hallowe!l yester day morning for Waynesville, N. 0.. j where she will serve as a Red Cross nurse in the base hospital at the can tonments there. A party of Red Cross officials, in- eluding Mrs. George E. M acorn her, i Mrs. Blaine S. Viles. Mrs. A. S. Par-i rott and Mrs. D. B. Weeks, accom panied by Mrs. Wallace Price, pros- ident of the Augusta Nurses' Asso ciation, went to Hallowell to see Miss j Wright off and to present her with a Red Cross comfort kit, a muffler and I flowers. According to local hospital records tive of the L’O registered nurses In Augusta have already entered the service of the United States as nurses but this number is all too small, qnn- sidering the growing need for nurses. In consequence, the Red Cross is con- i ducting a vigorous campaign for j more volunteers for war service, eith- er in this country or in France, and will welcome further enlistments in the nursing service. This w-ar work offers a line opportunity for gradu ate nurses and makes a strong appeal to every patriotic woman of the coun try. Enlistments are received at the Red Cross headquarters in the post office building. A crew was at work yesterday stringing the boom of the Augusta Lumber Co., near the east shore of tiie river, and got quite a bit of it done during the day. This is a job that has been revolutionized by the coming of the motor boat, for while in the old days it took a lot of hard rowing, pulling and hauling by a crew of men, the tvork always being j done at a time when a strong current was runnig, the motor boat now does all the work, towing the logs to their places and also towing the boat in which are the men who string the boom. That was a right smart thunder shower w-hich landed in Augusta at I about 3.30 Monday afternoon, and i possessed all the requisite features. The thunder was heavy enough, the lightning was not wanting in quan tity or quality, and the rain came down in a way that guaranteed a soaking to everybody who didn’t get under cover. It was not learned that the lightning did any damage. —————Quality Wins—.

E. 0,1 New Vapor Way of Treating all Cold Troubles North Carolina^Druggist In vents a Salve That is Vaporized by the Body Heat j NOTHING TO SWALLOW YOU JUST RUB tl ON Particularly Valuable to Moth ers with Small Children. Local Druggists Are Offer ing 25c Jars on 30 Days’ Trial. Colds are simply inflammations of the air passages and everybody knows that the only way to reach the air passages direct is by means of vapors that can be inhaled. The old fashioned vapor treatments, however, were cumbersome and costly, but a Xorth Carolina druggist solved this problem by inventing a salve that is vaporized by the body heat. This preparation, known as Vick's VapoRub, is now being introduced here. The local druggists know the danger of constant ‘‘dosing,’’ especial ly to small children, and are anxious' that all their customers should try this new “outside" treatment. Ar rangements have accordingly been made with the manufacturers to sell the small size jars, price t'oc, on 30 days’ trial—no charge to be made if the customer is not delighted with the results. For deep chest colds, sore throat, bronchitis, tonsilitis, or incipient pneumonia VapoRub should be ap plied over the throat and chest and 1 covered with a warm flannel cloth. The vapors arising carry the medi cation. with each breath, to the air passages and lungs. In addition Vapo Rub is absorbed through and stim ulates the skin, taking out that tight ness and soreness in the chest. For head colds, hay fever, catarrh or asthmatic troubles VapoRub can either bo applied up the nostrils or a 'little melted in u spoon and the va pors inhaled. Croup is usually re lieved within fifteen minutes and one application at bedtime prevents a night attack.—Adv. NO ADVANCE IN PRICE 25c. 50c, $1.00 Tebbetts of Waterville and 71 others: Ualph C.

Mr. Starer's rock is but 1600 feet from his store and there is plenty of deep water for water shipments and the vein is said to he a long and wide one. One man offered to take 5000 tons of rock annually for a period of five years. A number of other experts besides Mr. Golding have looked at the ledge and examined the rock which has been blasted from it and declare 1hat it is a fine quality of spar. Mr. Starer says that it is probable that within a shore time active steps will be taken to produce the spar there in sufficient quantities for shipment. Much of the spar which, is shipped from this section goes to New Jer sey and to East Liverpool, Ohio, where it is used in the making of crockery. What Future for Women? Women have always had a wider range of industrial opportunity in this country than abroad: war will inevitably widen the range, observes a writer. A dearth of men will ne cessitate her acceptance of such ac tivities, and for a time at least, her continuance in them. What is to be the result? What changes will oc cur in her temperament, her stand ards. and her attitude toward life, m consequence? No one can predict them. The Committee on Public Safety at Canton on Saturday detained a couple of women who gave the names of Mary Fisson and Bertha Holly, both of Massachusetts, who were distributing literature pertain ing to the works of Pastor Bussell, but they were later released upon their agreement to stop their opera tions. Their headquarters are at Livermore Falls. The higher au thorities were notified. I have seen and heard man> path etic things since my arrival In nance.” says a letter from H. C.
