Al- ( though the success of the campaign seems assured, workers are not letting ' up. as it is hoped to roll up an over- * subscription. Necessity for those chap- t ters. towns and states whicl have j over-subscribed to continue their efforts was emphasized in a statement 1 sent to war fund managers by Henry 1*. Davison, chairman of the Red I t'ross war council. Dr. Davison called j attention to the fact that the arrange meats for the campaign were maae early in the year before the recent German drives in Picardy and Flanders and that changed conditions called for increased Red Cross funds. For that reason he asked all workers not to lessen their efforts to secure subscriptions until the close of the campaign next Monday night. None of the divisions have yet reached Its quota, but many cities and towns had Joined those who went over the top Monday and Tuesday. The Potomac division (District of Columbia. Maryland. West Virginia and Virginia) hus subscribed $1.0"7.612. and the southern division (Georgia, Tennessee. North Carolina, South Carolina and Florida) $1,6S2.654. ?

'I here have heen ntllilerous raids and i larger attacks ! > hotli sides during the I past tun weeks, and liotll sidt s have )> n claiming the advantage; hut there seems to lie very little dollhl that most of the advantage has heen with the Allies. Ihspalehes of a few da>s ago announced the completion ol the organization of an American army corps ol Joo.unii men, and it is stated that the Xiiiericans arc now holding the third longest mileage on the western front? more than the lieigians. There has heen some suggestion that possihlv the (iermans now have enough of the offensive husiiiess, and that tIn > will wait for the Allies to make the next lag move; hut the probabilities seem to he against that. The greater neeessity ol the (iermans making the next move seems to he quite ' evident; hut as to how that will he remains lor developments. 1 As matters stand the Allies are certainly getting their forces to the trout as lapidly as are the (iermans, and they are not feeling thai they are losing untitling by delay. ACTIVITY OF AIRMEN Western Front Shows Indications of Big Operations. In the pasl years of the war, according to tile Associated I'ress suiuiiiarv ol tlii' situation on the western trout, a period of extraordinary activi ty Iiy tin- ;i< riiiI squadrons til tin- contending annus in Krancc has been consult n tl as an indication that events were rapidlv shaping: themselves for an offensive by tint- side or the other. At tin pristnt moment tin- most notable teat lire ol' Iht' war situation is the iriiiarkahlc work of airmen in various sectors wlicit* a Herman attack is lookctl for. Tliis activity lias not been restricted to the actual battle area, but far back of each front there have been daring raids. The I Shine cities are being Ire 1111-n11 >' bouibed, while I'aris has again bt en in danger ol' a new Herman attain from the air. American aviators have borne a prominent part in this lighting. In the I. iiii villi* and Toul sectors tliey have given a magnificent account of themselves, while further north. ;ind ven in the defense of lamdon they have demonstrated their fighting capacity. German Plans Hindered. The (ierman plans for a resumption ol the offensive in Km nee have been serious!) hampered by the sudden blows of Allies here and there along the trout. The Hermans have been forced back at numerous points ami new lines which may be more easily defended have been established b) the Allied nations. The Americans on their own sectors have given t|?. enemy no rest. The art lib ry has battered the (ierman lutes night and day while the infantrymen have raided (ierman outpost positions and have proved themselves cajiable of outwitting and outfighting the enemy, (lenci'iil Pershing's men have won several hot tights with the loo aiul havo raptured prisoners. A night gas attack was loosed on tlie Hermans by the Americans near Toul. throe wuves of shells drenching a wooded position of the enemy with poisonous Haines. Tin French. too. have been tit work in various sevtors. iiartieularly in the Sotntne region. They have gained ground here and there at points where positions ot tactical value were wrested trout the (icrmans. British Line Fairly Quiet. Further north, the British front has been fairly ?iuiet, with tremendous bursts of artillery tire coming at intervals. Tin tterman ollicial statement says that British attacks at various points were repulsed. Keports from headiiuarters of the French army are that there has been a redistribution of Herman troops along the entire front. A Herman attack is expected soon, probably in the Sotntne region near Albert or on the Aviv river, where the Herman cannon have been thundering for several days, but so far the Herman general staff has not shown Its hand. It is known that there are great masses ot troops within striking distance ol the Iront. and it is believed that when the enemy is ready to strike there will be only brief artillery tire as a prelude to the actual assault by the infantry. The last rei>ort from the French war office mentions heavy artillery tire in the Sotntne region and at I'lemont. near Xoyon. where there was terrific fighting early In April. ? Thirty-seven persons were killed and 153 were injured last Sunday night in the biggest airplane raid that has yet f?ecn made on London. The Hermans lost four of their machines, three of them shot down by anti-aircraft guns and one sent down aflame by a British flier. The Ixmdoners attempted to defend themselves mainly by means of anti-aircraft guns fighting with the help of search-lights. A considerable amount of property was destroyed in lxindon in addition to the killed and wounded. LOCAL AFFAIRS. ; NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. F. C.

Two hundred and seventy-three shirts shipped by the lted Cross yes- 1 teniay represents a great deal more work than the average man who does not know has any idea of.

Arrangements are being perfected for ( a big war savings stamp drive from ( June 11 to June 2S, during which time South Carolina will be expected ( to buy 20 per cent of her ipiota of l stamps, a total of $fi,S37,472. York ( county's pio|s>rtion of this sum is ( $2US,1XS. This, it is to lie understood, | is only 20 per cent of York's total luota, which is a little over $1,000,000. Kver.vbody will be expected to , assist in this drive just as they assisted in the sale cf the third Liberty loan and as they are assisting in the raising of the lted Cross fund.

Tin re are no available ligurts; but it is certain ( that the reduction is very exeat, tun of the largest local dealers mad. a t. statement to Here and There a day 01 n two ago like this: "We had a pi'tty good stock of flour on band the tir<t day of January: but sitae then w? a have bought but *>0 barrels. We have y more than fifty barrels now. Ihiring ^ the same |*-rlod ol last yiar w< sold ' nearly a thousand barrels, our ??m r- * al trade is as heavy this year as it was y last year.

So far as Here and h There has been able to ascertain there p is very little foundation for tin" story in fart: but still there is something to 1 be learned from it. fine of the things I to be learned is not to violate the food p regulations, and the other is not to go ( into a panic over the demands of any traveling confidence man who might " seek to do yon out of vour money, o That the government is doing what it can to enforce its food regulations, there Is no doubt: but what it is doing M is by due process of law.
