Killed, Wounded,
Prisoners and Missing as officially announced during the past week for North
Carolina and Richmond County.
The war news the past week has each day shown an
improvement. Our troops and our Allies are giving the German armies no rest,
but are attacking at many points.
Before the Allied offensive began on July 18th,
the total length of the battle line, from Switzerland to the North Sea, was 250
miles. NOW by steady gains the line has been shortened to 200 miles!
The Germans have at last been driven back to the lines they
occupied when they began their offensive March 21st. Lassignay was captured
Wednesday, and Noyon is threatened, and will likely be in ur hands within a few
days.
Gen. March, our Chief of Staff, Saturday told Congress that
by sending 4,000,000 troops to France by next summer, we can end the war in the
Fall of 1919! This is the first intimation given out by officials as to when we
may expect the war to end. It is significant.
The total American losses in killed, wounded and injured to
date number 22,567.
