SAYS MUHLENBURG COUNTY
HAS 1000 TRACHOAIA CASES

Greenville, KY, Jan. THE sue
cess of the free clinic for the treat
ment of trachoma which has been
held here since Tuesday was greater
than anticipated. There were fifty
operations in the four days and 25e
persons were examined. The percent
age of infection was 33 1-3. Mrs.
Hickey, the visiting nurse, says
there are 1000 cases of the disease
in Muhlenburg county.
DIR. John McCullen said he had
been conducting clinics over Ken
lucky. Virginia and West Virginia
for eighteen months, and had found
no place where the interest taken in
the attempts to eradicate the dis
ease was as great as In Greenville
He said private citizens as well as
local physicians were deeply inter
ested. The chief object of the tours
was to demonstrate the necessity
for the radication of the disease.
He was gratified at the assistance
given him and his assistants during
the week.
Arrangements have been made for
local physicians to continue the
work, and several operations will be
performed this afternoon. Patients
are here from all portions of the
county.
One of the most enthusiastic
workers at the clinic was Miss Linda
Neville. of Lexington, who was high
ly pleased at the results. She sue
ceeded in making arrangements to
take two of the patients, Amanda
Warner and Ursula Richey. to the
trachoma hospital at Jackson. In
the opinion of DR.. McMullen II was
though advisable that the treatment
of these two girls should be contin-
ued at a hospital, and the arrange
ments were made accordingly. DR..
McMullen left for Louisville this
afternoon with Miss Hicks. the
nurse. The rooms of the emergen-
cy hospital are all occupied by pa
tients and will be utilized for some
time.

"STARrISH" DEfENSES
USED BY GERMANS
FRENCH OFFENSIVE IN CHAM
PAGNE HELD IN CHECK BY
UNIQUE CONSTRUCTIONS.

Paris, Jan. 15.--An ex-member OF
the French Chamber of Deputies,
now serving as Major, gives some
interesting details as to why the
French offensive in Champagne,
which opened in September, has not
progressed as quickly as might have
been expected.
1t was only when the German sec
ond line had been pierced that the
intricate nature of the enemy's de-
lenses was made evident. At inter-
walls Of approximately five hundred
yards behind the second line the
Germans had constructed under
ground strongholds which can not be
detected from the surface. They
are known as "starfish" defenses,
and their construction is most in
genious.
About thirty feet below the ground
is dug out" of generous dimen-
sions, in which are stored machine
guns, rifles, and other weapons.
Leading from this underground
chamber to the surface are five or
six tunnels. jutting out in different
directions, so that their outlets form
half dozen points in a circle with
2 diameter Of about 100 yards.
In each of the tunnels narrow
gauge railway is laid down to allow
the machine-guns to be speedily
brought to the surface. At the
mouth of the tunnels are two gun
platforms on either side, and the
mouth itself is concealed by being
covered over with earth and grass,
as the case may be. These 'starfish"
defenses are also mined, and can be
exploded from any one of the various
outlets.
On several occasions when the
French endeavored to press home
their advantage, they found them
selves enfiladed by machine-guns
raised to the surface by troops who
had taken up their places in the un-
derground strongholds at the first
menace to the second line. When one
of the outlets was captured machine
guns would appear at another. while,
II the French troops attempted to
rush the stronghold, the Germans
took refuge in the other passages,
and not them as they appeared.
In this way it was necessary to
capture every out, and owing to
their being concealed this was a diff
ficut operation, involving heavy loss
of life. Moreover, whenever the en-
envy saw that the position was un-
entenable they could blow it up be-
fore abandoning the last tunnel.

Children Cry
FOR FlETcHER'S
casio RIA
WIFE GETS WISE TO
.HUBBY's FISH STORIES

New York.-Wives with husbands
having a love for fishing may be in
terested to know that Mrs. Eva. N.
Caswell has found a new way to de-
termine whether said husbands real
ly take fishing trips when they say
they do or whether their jaunts are
far from that ripping stream.
Mrs. Caswell discloses the secret
in an answer she has filed in the Su-
preme Court to an action for divorce
begun by her husband.
One of the alleged cruelties she
says was practiced on her was the
"whoppers" her husband told her
after he had been on Fishing expedi-
tons" Mrs. Caswell was suspicious
of these journeys, she says, and came
to believe that the only thing about
them savoring of fish were the yarns
her husband spun on his return.
August 81, last. according to Mrs
Caswell. her husband fabricated a
story that he was going on fishing
trip and asked this defendant to pre-
pare his fishing pants" She decid-
ed to put the acid test on the trip.
she says. as she 'surmised the Jour
ney was for other purposes"
Therefore. says the defendant. 81
placed pins in the legs of the fishing
trousers. When he returned my hus-
band asked me TO see how fishy the
garment smelled."
Thereupon. she says. she directed
his attention to the fishy part of the
story. pointing out that the pins
were still in the legs of the garment
where she had placed them. and de-
clared that he had never been on any
fishing trip:

IMMIGRATION BILL
A DRASTIC MEASURE.
LITERACY TEST AND AsIATIC Ex-
CLUSION AFFECTS JAPANESE,
CHINESE AND HINDUS.

Washington, Jan. 22.-Drastic re-
strictions would be thrown about
Japanese immigration, and the Hin
dus as well as Chinese virtually
would be barred from the country
by a provision written into the i'm
migration bill, which will be report
ed to the House next week.
The new features relating to i'm
migrants from Japan would have
their most far-reaching effect, in the
expectation of immigration commit
tee members, in shutting off effectu-
ally the influx OF Japanese laborers
whose competition with American
labor in the Pacific states has arous-
ed pronounced a;.ti-Asiat: sen siihcnt.
AS agreed upon tentatively by the
committee the exclusion section Of
the bill includes paragraph barring
"Hindus and all persons of the Mon
golian or yellow race, and the Malay
or brown race" Before report is
made to the House however, pro-
posed qualification probably will be
added providing that there shall be
such exemptions as may be set forth
in any "existing agreements, as to
passports or by treaties. conventions
or agreements that may hereafter be
entered into.
For several years representatives
from the Pacific states have been
fighting for legislation to exclude
Japanese and Hindu laborers. Two
years ago the House immigration
committees agreed that in order not
to burden the pending general i'm
migration measure with an Asiatic
exclusion issue bill. The measure lat
er was dropped, however, at the sug-
gestion of State Department officials,
who held that it would seriously
complicate negotiations with Japan
over the California alien land law.
Exclusion of Chinese and Japanese
students, business men, travellers and
certain other excepted classes is not
anticipated by members of the COM
mittee, but the bill is expected to
put into legal form and amplify an
informal agreement entered into
eight years ago by Secretary of State
Root and the japanese ambassador,
under which Japan agreed not to is
sue passports to japanese laborers
emigrating, the United States.
other provisions of the bill would
raise the head tax ON immigrants to
So and would increase the penalties.
Both fines and Imprisonment would
be authorized for offenders, and any
steamboat company bringing an alien
later deported would be required to
refund the cost of his trip.
Both the Asiatic exclusion section
and the literacy test provision of the
bill are expected to precipitate Wig
orous debate when the measure
comes up in the House. The re-
quirement for a literacy test has
caused the failure of three previous
immigration bills through presiden-
tial veto.

NEW EVIDENCE IN THE
MILLER VIRGINS CASE.
1t is AIIeged John Farr. Who Com
mittel Suicide. Told Who Killed
-. Old Man Phillips.

A representative of the Greensboro
News AshevilIe bureau has received
information, which if true, may cause
still another reprieve by Governor
Craig in the cases of Merritt Miller
and Hardy Virgins, the Graham
county m~urderers now in death cells
at the states prison at Raleigh,
awaiting execution October 81. Ac-
cording to a statement made by a
prominent citizen of Cherokee
ty. John Farr, of nea Andrews, COM
mitted suicide last Friday and just be-
fore taking mis- own life he told sever
al people of that immediate section
that he, Ed Williams, now serving ~
years in the states prison, and Andy
Orr. one of the most notorious moon
sinners, it is alleged that has ever.
infested the. mountains of the west
killed Phillip l.. Phillips, of Topton,
for whose assassination Miller and
Virgins are under death sentence.

Farr making the statement, Tor re-
spected. citizens OF Cherokee hearo
him talk and those who are interest
ed in the MiIler-Wiggins cases are

which Ed. Williams sent to the COLI
demned men on the night before they
were to be executed, in which he
stated that cit is too late now for me
to do anything" as evidence that
williams does know something whlch
might be of help to the men under
death sentence. Rev. Mr.. D1lts. the
Raleigh pastor who has helped Miller
and Virgins, is here in the west nav
ing arrived tie first OF the week and
it is thought that he will investigate
the reports from Andrews before ne

ASHEVILLE MAN KILLED
IN BATTLE IN FRANCE.

Kifin Rockwell, of Ashevi1le, one of
the most expert birdmen serving with
the French aviation corps, was killed
Saturday during an engagement with
enemy airships. Announcement Of
his death was contained in a brief
cablegram. sent to his mother. Mrs.
Loula Ayres Rockwell, at Winston
Salem, and transmitted by her to
Miss Agnes Rockwell, a sister of the
dead airman, who is at present at the
Rockwell home on Hillside street,
Asheville.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Paris dated Sunday says the aerial
fight in which Rockwell was mortally
wounded by a German airman, took
place over the town of Thanh. The
body of the American aviator fell in
re-conquered- territory in Alsace, cal
the spot where Rockwell shot down
his first adversary five months age.
Rockwell was serving as a volunteer
in the Franco-American flying corps
on the Verdun front. A few hours
previous to the engagement he had
been promoted to the rank of second
lieutenant, but died without knowing
of the new honor. He already had
received the military medal for shoot
ing down a German twO-seater near
Hartmans-Wellerkopf in May. He
had beaten down another before Yer
dun and had participated in a thrill
ing combat in which nearly all the
Franco-American 1otillo was engaged
with a strong German force. He was
wounded during the fight by a frag-
ment of shell while engaged alone
with three adVersaries.
