Withdrawing from Ostend All reports seem to agree that Os- < tend practically is clear of Germans, $ who apparently are reforming to the . south with reinforcements and the siege guns used to batter the Belgian forts and that they now propese to hammer on toward Dunkirk and Ca- j lais. One report says thev are be- i vond Flanders less than 10 miles from j f Dunkirk. \ Further south in France reinforce- | ments from Brussels are said to have been brought up before Lille, which the Germans are reported as bombarding. 1 The Belgians themselves, according i to last night's Paris official communication, have held the Germans in an attempt to cross the River Yser, south west of Dixmudc, Belgium. This was < the first heard of the Belgian forces f since the evacuation of Antwerp. King Albert, unheard of for some time, is said to have cheered the men in the field. c Some of the Londan papers describe I the German evacuation of Osteml as j. a retirement to the east on the theory , that the allies' progress to the south.

TERRIBLE BEATING THESE TWO GOl STILL REMAINS MYSTERY TO PC LICE FORCE OF DURHAM, N. C. ALMOST TO DEATH Young Man and Young Woman Botl Found Almost Beaten to Deatl In Rear of a Cemetery in Nortl Carolina City, Police Trying to Sol ve it. One of the most mysterious crime* that has ever been committed ii North Carolina is puzzling the police C* T~*v 1 " oi uurnam, and so far tho officers l:nvo been unable to find out who beat Mr. John Thomas and Miss Lula Powe so terribly and left them back of the cemetery for dead. Both are in the hospital, and their faces are in such a condition that neither can talk Mr. Thomas was found Friday night and carried to the police station first and then to the hospital. About 10 o'clock that night he crawled to the home of a Mr. Coley, on Maplewcod avenue near tho cemetery, and asked that something be done for him. His face was beat into pulp, his eyes nearly closed from the blows dealt there, and his mouth so dadly swollen and lacerated that he could hardly tell what had happened to him. Mr. Coley at once notified the police station and an ambulance was sent for him. At the station Thomas said that he was attacked by a band of negroes who robbed him of a watch and some other valuables. He had r.o idea who the negroes were, and did not know just where the trouble occur red. He did not mention the fact that the young lady was with him at the time of the assault. Miss Powe was not found until next morning when several negroes discovered her as they were going on to their work. They at once notified the police station and the young woman was attended to. She was found unconscious back behind the cemetery fence with her face battered almost as badly as that of Mr. Thomas. There were signs that she had been out all night, but she was also unable to give any account of her terrible experiences. She was carried to the hospital. Both of the young people live in West Durham and work in one of the mills of the city. So far as is known both are sober and reliable. Miss Powe has been one of the steadiest Li'Avlvirc in liAr rlrmo vf m nnt T f o caul that the two young people have been sweethearts for the past three years, and expected to get married some time in the near future. There was no objections on the part of the parents to their association, and there .vas no quarrc-l between the two or .vith any other person so far as the narents of the young woman know ibeut. Tt is presumed that the two were >n their way to the fair grounds, fcr :here is a short cut from West Durham avound behind the cemetery, ivhen a band of robbers assaulted the nan. The woman began yelling and ,he robbers silenced her. The police have been working on he case, but have found no clue. The mly thing that caused them to know :hat the two young people were together was the fact that Miss Powe vas lying on Mr. Thomas' coat when she was found, this morning. The Auto in tlie Field. It is quite a common sight in South Carolina to see farmers drive to the harvest field in automobiles. It takes i solemn sum of money to buy an automobile and it takes good roads, as veil as gasolene, to run them. A joy ride in the harvest fields of this State is one of the most exhilarating experiences that is available on this continent and one that would charm a tourist and convince a homeseeker. A speedway lined with growing crops and blooded stock is a landscape that one seldom tours in a lifetime. In mapping out automibile routes in South Carolina harvest fields should be given prominent position. Why not ''See Rural America First" campaign ? Agriculture needs all the great mm it can get.

Iti hatred against Russia has been o long standing, and its diplomats hav< noted Russia's ambition to advanc* its own interests through Austria ^ Hungary. Its hatred for France, too is deep and of long standing. Ac 11 cordingly, when war was immincn 1 between Austria-Hungary and Russh - Gcrmmy's sympathies were with th< former. Czar Nicholas communicated witl '{Kaiser Wilhelm, asking him to us< I his good offices to establish peace be| i tween himself and Austria. While ; messages were being interchanges ' between Russia and Germany, the L. startling news reached the Kaiser's ears that Nicholas was mobilizing his 1, vast army of 5,500,000 troops. The Lj German ambassador waited upon the I Russian minister of War, demanding the cessation of -mobilization. This request was refused. Three times the German ambassador repeated his request and three times received a positive refusal. Thereupon diplomatic connections were severed ami Russia and Germany were at war. * Germany served a similar ultimatum on France, which Franee likewise refused, and before the expiration of the ultimatum Germany had j already began her invasion of the French Republic. In this conflict Germany is easily the strongest single nation; the spirit of militarism has been alive for years, and it has been in active preparation ! for just such a crisis as this. Its army is the best trained in the world, 1 and might be victorious, were it not for the overwhelming odds against it.
