China Grove, N. ('., Jan. 7th, 191^.1
Kditor Herald: ?
I wish to thank you in advance for
the* print ?ng of a sad happening in our
community on Wednesday, January
2nd, 11HS. It happened as follows:
Starting' out from my place in the
afternoon of the day mentioned above
I unting Bailey B. Stanley in company
with John Nobles, Herman I). Stanley,
Jesse White, and Cliff White, and,
after reaching: the Branch close by
some where in the hunt, soon after
being' gone, men and dogs all together
coming up with a squirrel. In the
fun and merry for the squirrel some
v ay the gun in Herman's hands fired
off, and the load took effect in the
body of Bailey B. Stanley under his
left shoulder in the back, resulting in
almost instant death. It is very sad
indeed to lose one who was at every
call of need, ready and willing to respond.
He was industrious, truthful
and honest, quiet and of sound judgment.
He was kind-hearted and loved
by all who knew him, wjiich was fully
shown from the time of his accident
until his body was laid away in th *
cemetery at China Grove. Let mo return
my thanks to my friends both m
Horry and Columbus for their interest.
J. H. Stanley.

NATIONALCRisiSDEVEL0PIN6
IN GERMANY
London, Jan. S.?A reply from the
Central powers to the statement of
British war aims trade by Premier
Lloyd George Saturday is awaited
here with the greatest intreost. It is
believed they cannot decline to repiy
Mi some form and to make the reply
more straightforward and definite
than any previous statement of their
aims.
But if the German papers correctly
mirror the situation there, the test
which the Bolsheviki have made of
Germany's attitude toward the principle
of no annexations has thrown
Gremany into political turmoil. Ad* j
\ ices from * the rnnitnls nf nnntfil I
countries bordering on Germany show
that the opinion prevalent there is;
that one of the most severe national j
crisis in the history of Germany i>
developing as to result of the difference
of views between the militai ist !
and non-militarist leaders regarding'
tlie govei nment 's attitude toward R v {
si a. |
Ludcnderlf Threatens. I
It is reported generally that Gener- !
el von Ludendorff, as leader of the1
former group, aetualK has gone sol
!'ar as to threaten the resignation >?f
lumself and Field Marshal von Him!
eenburg if further countenance U1
given even to such views as those advanced
by men of the type of Dr. vo<i
Kuehlmann nad Count Czernin, tlv 1
German and Ausrtian foreign minis- i
tors. |
At the same time the views of von ;
Kuehlmann and Czernin fail to satis-j
fy the Gorman socialist, who regard |
their middle of the road policy us!
trickery and who also are determined |
that the spirit'of the Reichstag rose, j
lution must ho followed sincerely ar.d 1
without qualification or reserves.
Neutral observers declar0 that the
gap between the German parties suddenly
has become a chasm so wide
that there is little hope of bridging ;t.
and that the development of an internal
crisis of serious proportions seem
pi obable.
On the other hand, it is pointed out
that the various parties of Entente t
countries never seemed to completely !
united as in their support of the war j
aims formulated by Premier Lloyd i
George.

Y
Washington, Jan. S.?The expected
lorinan. offensive in the west, Sec re
.ury linker's weekly war review today
says, "will possibly be their great
est assault," but the French and British
armies can be relied upon to withstand
the shock.
Summarizing the situation on the
(ve of a possible great offensive, Secretary
Baker confidently points out
that through sixteen fierce battles uf
great magnitude the British and
French steadily have pushed ahead
with methodical and cumulative gains ;
The expected offensive, he points out,
probably is being delayed for massing j
great supplies of munition guns and ;
troops and the Germans may bo ex- i
pec ted to "strain every fibre ot then \
' emaining sti ength."

impedes river traffic;
Last Friday morning revealed t ?
the people the fact that the Wacou11.aw
River had frozen over during
the night. For several days before
that time, the waters of Kingston
Lake had frozen over to such thickness
that skating parties ventured out
upon it. The water of the river withstood
the cold until Thursday night
v hen the continued cold caused a cak0
oJ ice to form over nearly the entire
surface .
Friday morning was the t.imo fc
the regular schedule trip of the
Steamer Bui roughs from Conway to
Georgetown. The start on the trh)
was made by the boat at about the
usual time, but the steamer returned
after going a short distance down the
liver. latter in the day the trip was
made without mishap.
Reports from Galivants Ferry and
other points along the Little Pee Dee
Kivc'ri were to the effect that the
same conditions prevailed on that
st ream.
SHORTAGE OF FOOD

Washing ton.?-The food situation in
the allied countries of Europe is
j.,raver than it has boon at any time
since th0 beginning of the war and <
giving American government official,
deep concern. Official reports picture
extreme food shortages in Kngland,
France an(' I tilly. The fact that
conditions in Germany and Austrv.
are far worse offers the only ground,
for optimism in viewing the situatio i.
In England and France the situation
is described as critical in a cablegram

WILL RUSH AMERICAN
TROOPS TO EUROPE
Recommendations of Colonel
House and Other American
Delegates.
Washington.?American troops are
to be rushed to Europe in as large
and as constant a stream as is humanly
possible; the Allied nations
will so arrange their shipping as to
provide the necessary transport; the
merchant ship building program
must be rushed; there is to be closer
cooperation of all the co-belligerents
to present a single and united t'roni
to German autocracy; the part of tinUnited
States has been clearly defined
and arrangements made to cuiry
it out.
These are tht. principal results* as
they affect America of the recent
inter-Allied war council in Paris, announced
today for the first time by
the State Department.
These recommendations made by
the American delegates, of whom
Colonel K. M. House, President Wilson's
personal representative was th?
head, are the result of the great eoun
cil of heads of a'l the co-belliferents.
Principal Recommendations.
The principal recommendations of
the American delegation arc:
"That the United States exert all
their influence to secure entire unity
of effort, military, naval and economic,
between themselves and the
countries associated with them in the
war.
"Inasmuch as the successful termination
of the war by the United States
and the Allies can he greatly has.
toned by the extension of the United
States shipping; program, that tlw
government and the people of the
United States bend every effort towards
accomplishing this result by a
systematic coordination of resourceof
men and materials,
"That the fighting fortes of the
United States he dispatched to Kurop(,
with the least possible delay, incident
to training and equipment."
I )e pa r t in en t Stat em cut.
The following statement by tlv IV*partment
of State was made public in
connection with the recommendations:
14A review of the report filed V'Hh
th0 Department of State by Colonel
J louse, the head of the special war
mission, which visited Groat Uriluin
and France in November, shovvs that
it succeeded in its purpose of roach
ing a <lctimt0 working' plan for the
prosecution of the war through cooporation
of the governments represente<l
at the conferences held in Paris in
the various fields of activity, and
through marshaling- the resources of
the nations at war v;th the Central
Powers and coordinating their uses
under a common authority, thus avoid
ing- the waste and uncertainties that
arise from independent action.
"The results of the conference, as
shown in the report, are most gratifying
to this government, first, hecause
they indicate that the conferees
were inspired by the desire to he mutually
helpful; and second, became
the agreements, which were reached,
when in full operation will greatly
increase the effectiveness of the efforts
now being put forth by tb"
United States and the Alllies in the
conflict against Germany and Austria.
Hungary.
"A summary of the results accomplished
at their conferences and of
the recommendations made by the
American mission will indicate the
value of the work clone and the practical
methods which were considered
by the conferees, and which arc recommended
in the report.''

total loss with exception of the win|

The fire company responded quickly
to the alarm but could do practically
nothing for the reason that
water mains were frozen, the stain*

extremely hard to start. Finally
the. company strung a line of h.o-<e

at the scene and aided in bringing; out
