GERMAN LOSSES IN DRIVE
275,800 19 30M08 MEN
Official FriscJi Statisnt Say Strnus
in Rimoviii Wounded to Belgioa
ti Coacnl thiir Great Lissts From
-Gerniai People.
A French official "estimate of
the German losses in the great
battle on the western front has
just been received in Washington
Tne dispatch follows:
After an 11 days' offensive
during which the Germans have
recklessly pushed forward their
attacking waves, one may gath
er a fairly ami ate estimate of
their losses.
'In the flr-t place it has been
possible to identify nearly 100
of their divisions sjnce the begin
ning of the offensive, more than
10 of which were twice engaged.
Some divisions had to be relieved
at the end of the first day, hav
ing lost more than half of their
men; fuch was the case of the
45th and 88th. The latter has
been nearly entirely wiped out.
Among those that have suffered
the most ore the 5th, 12th, 28th
and 107th divisions, as will as
the 2nd (Prussian guard), the
ICtb, 21st and 20th divisions of
reserves.
"Iu the second place an enor
mous number of corpses were
found on the battle giouud, aud
the prisoners on being question-
e 1 acknowledge the extent of the
losses of their respective units.
"To conceal from the German
people the heavy sacrifices that
their offensive methods required,
the Germans are sending most
of their wounded to Belgium.
"It is not an exaggeration to
estimate the total of their losses
at between 275,000 and 300,
000 men."
Owing to the nearness of the
next Liberty Loan, the County
Commissioners received no bids
at par for the road bonds offered
for sale Monday. They are re
advertising the if 50,000 in de
nominations of $1000, $500 and
$100. These bonds will be offer
ed to the people of the county.
A plan will be worked out by
which they may be paid for in
five instalments! The officials
ol the county and the leading
citizens of both parties are sign
ing an agreement pledging them
selves to use all their influence
with the next representative to
have these bonds freed fromcoun
ty taxes. This makes these bonds
an attractive investment, and it
is the opinion of t hose iu the best
position to know that this is our
only chance to build any roads
rtithiu the next five years. Our
Federal Aid, ten thousand dol
lars of which is now available is
at stake.
A recent report from Berlin
says German troops have cap
ture 1 Moreuil and Anaehiswocd
on the west bank of the Avre ri
ver. The statement adds that
the number of prisoners taken
by the Teutons is now 75,000.
and makes a splendid report of
it
Mr. Roberts, representing the
National Association Inspectors,
inspected a car. of maple here
last week, sold by the company
for 'shipment to San Francisco,
California.
The moving up of the clock
here will.help the employees get
through with their work earlier
ani have time for war-garden
in?, etc. Especially will this be
beneficial to the office boys, as
they can get recreation and some
outdoor life.
The people in this vicinity feel
much elated over the action of
the Board of Ed ucation in con
solidating the Shulls Mills and
Foscoe school districts, as this
will result in the building of one
of the very best schools in the
county, and a general revjval
along educational lines at this
place. This one act-of the Super
intendent and Board of Educa
tion in Watauga county will for
ever anchor him to all who have
at heart the building of our sec
tion and county. ,
THE GREAT WAR HAS MADE
CIGARETTES A NECESSITY.
- "Our boyi must have $xh smoke
Send them cigarettes!" This ia a
familiar appeal now to all of us.
Among those most in demand It
the now famous "toasted" cigarette
LUCKY STRIKE. Thousands of this
favorite brand have been shipped to
France. There is something home
like and friendly to the boys in the
sight of the familiar green packages
with the red circle.
This homelike, appetizing quality
of the LUCKY STRIKE cigarette ia
largely due to the fact that the Burley
tobacco used in making it has been
toasted. "It's toasted" was the "slo
gan" that made a great success of
LUCKY STRIKE in less than a year.
Now the American Tobacco Co. is
.making 15 million LUCKY STRIKE
Cigarettes a day.
A good part of this immense pro
duction is making its way across the
water to cheer our boys The Red
Cross has distributed thousands of
LUCKY STRIKE Cigarettes.
