Shells to the number of ?>00,00( were poured into the ranks am B ^ trenches of the Germans and at vari B ous points the contending force* fought with bayonet and grenades. For two days, the French report I the actions have been numerous ant I desperate; the artillery duels violent H and continuous. The French hav< carried several lines of trenches 01 the road from Aix Noulette to Sou jchez; they have advanced in all direc , tions toward Souchez, gaining theii I ground by what is recorded as a series of "brilliant assaults." The Germans brought 11 divisions approximately 154,000 men, into ac tion, and on both sides the losses were heavy. From Attack to Defense. Counterattack followed counterat 4&ck and the French were obliged tf make the best use of' their defense throughout an entire night to save themselves from being overwhelmee by the masses of troops hurled al them by the opposing commanders. Berlin's account of the battle ad mits the loss of positions to the French south of Souchez extending H over half a mil, but of the lattei H claims set up by the French makes H no mention for the present. The Ger H mans asserted that they have recap ured the greater part of the trenches H that had been taken by the British HH near Bellewaarde, in Belgium, anr that the allies' attacks near La Bass< canal have been put down with heavj casualties.

(Eh c "HO 0 I WILSON IS AGAINST I DEMAND FOR NAVY Bryan Praises This Disposition on Part of President Wilson PREPAREDNESS PROVOKES DOES NOT PREVENT 3 Says Bryan in Latest State merit Given out on His Resignation. 3 Asserting that the preparedness provokes rather than prevents war t and that the upheaval in Europe was -> a result of the false philosophy that ^ "might makes right," former Sccretavy Bryan in a second of his series , of three statements on "the causeless . war" submits an argument against military preparation by the United ) States and praises the course of 1 President Wilson in the international . emergency. ? "If any nation is without excuse for entering into a mad rivalry with the t belligerent nations in preparation for j war it is the United States," says Mr. I Bryan. "We are protected on either ^ side by thousands of miles of ocean j and this protection is worth more to . us than any number of battleships. "We have an additional protection r in the fact, known to everyone, that 5 we have the men with whom to form an army of defense if we are ever attacked; and it is known also that . we would have the money, too. > "The leadin participants in the present war are the nations that were best prepared, and I fear it would . have been difficult for us to keep out ) of this war if we had been as well ? prepared as they. ? "Happy for our nation that we have 1 in the White House at this time a t president who believes in setting the old world a good example, instead of . following the bad example which it ; sets in this matter. What an unr speak able misfortune it would have - been if the nation had been under the 5 leadership of a president inflamed by . the false philosophy which has plung. ed Europe into the abyss of war!" , In discussing the cause of the Eu^ ropean conflict, Mr. Bryan, in a j lengthy analysis, argues that it is no 4 war of race, religion or families, and , declares: "If I have correctly analyzed the situation, tne war is tne natural result of a false philosophy * * The fundamental precept of the false phil^ osophy is that 'might makes right." Leading up to his argument against 3 preparation for war by the United States, Mr. Bryan, says: "We dare not trust the peace of the world to those who spend their time in getting ready for wars that should never come. "How can preparedness prevent t war if all prepare? Each step taken I by one nation toward more complete a preparedness excites the other nations s to additional purchases of new levies, T until all have exhausted their producI tive industries and menaced their moral progress. y "The doctrine that preparedness will prevent war will not stand the I test of logic and the conflagration in Europe shows that it falls when test. ed by experience." o i. First Open Cotton Blossom. e Mr. W. H. Lawrence, who lives near f the Little Pee Dee, in the lower part r of Bucks township, has the distinction of sending to the Herald office the first open cotton bloom of the season of 1915. This first bloom was picked from the field on June 16th and reacht ed this office in the mail on the foln lowing day. Mr. Lawrence has some very fine cotton. o g Showers Continued. t i. The showers of rain continued nl y most throughout last week. From reports reaching Conway it appears that in some sections this rain was needed t, and was of much benefit to the crops t, while in some instances the farmert found it too wet to run their plows.

Jenkins were reposing on a chair about .three feet from the bed on which he slept. The man took about $4.00 from the pockets of the pants together with other articles. At the residence of Mr. H. W. Ambrose his pants were missing the next morning I and the sum of $8.00 that he had in | the pockets. His shirt was also gone I This stealing was done some time in the night while Mr. Ambrose slept. At the residence of Mr. Charles Duscnbury the screen at the window had been propped up with a knife and the room had evidently been entered, but nothing was missed from within the house. The bicycle of Mr. M. G. Anderson which rested on the porch was gone. Messages were at once sent to " all nearby towns for the authorities to be on the watch and it was believed the thief would soon be caught, j Among the things taken from the ? pockets of Mr. Jenkins was a bunch of keys including those to a safe in which valuables were kept. On Saty urday it was reported from Clarendon that a man had been arrested there believed to be the thief, as he was riding a bicycle and had a quantity of keys thought to belong to Jenkins. Messrs. Jenkins and Anderson went ^ there that afternoon with the chief of police onlv to find that a mistake had in ^ been made in arresting the man. The wheel was quite a differnt one from that owned bv Mr. Anderson and the ?r keys were strange ones to Mr. Jenkins IS # # a Later the authorities went to Marion and Mullins in the hope that ^ some trace might be found of the man I but the party returned without any in formation. In the town of Marion on Saturday le y, night a thief entered the residence of ' the president of the bank and took from the pockets of his clothes the sum of $1.45. It is supposed to be the work of the same man who committed the robberies here. ? I Items From Princeville. [n Health generally good. Crops are looking much better since the showers set in. Rpv.
