 Hard fighting is still in progress between the Austrians and Italians. in the Tyrol. the French and. the Ger mans in the region of Nkrdun, and the Germans and British around La .Basse
 The great offensive of the Austrians against the Italians in Southern Ty- rol continues unabated. and at several points the Austrians seem gradually to be throwing back the Italians to- ward their own territory To the southeast of Trent. on the Lavarone plateau, Vienna says the Italians have been dislodged from all their posi- lions and advise that the Austrians nave captured Fima, Mandriolo and :he height immediately west of the front from the summit as far as the Astach (Astico) valley

 Tn the region of Verdun, both the French and Germans claim successes tor their arms at various points. An lntcl esting point in the latest French official communication is the state ment that the French have penetrated Fort Douaumont northeast of Yer dun, which the Germans storined and captured February 9, four days after the commencement of the assault on Nerdun. and from which all attempts tD drive them out proved futile The Germans. however still hold the northern part of Fort Douaumont.

NEW YORK, May 22.-Dr. Arthur Waite, the young dentist and tennis player. who was placed on trial today before Justice Clarence J.-JShearn and a jury in the criminal branch of the supreme court. charged with the mur- der of his wealthy fatheri law John E. Peck. of Grand Rapids, Mich not only administered deadly disease germs and poison to his victims, but applied chloroform to his nostrils until he died. it was alleged, by Dis trict Attorney Edward Swann, in his opening address for the state.
 The trial which began shortly after 10 o'clock this morning moved rapidly. A jury was selected in less than three hours, and the district at torney consumed only half an houi in his formal presentation of tho states case. Meantime, Waite wh' was newly dressed in a blue suit dnt sat by his counsel, appeared as mucl unmoved as the most disinterestet spectator in the courtroom.
 Aside from the address of the dis trict attorney in which he recite' Waites life history and gave com plete resume of the circumstance leading up to the crime to whicl Waite already has confessed. the out standing feature of the trial toda was the testimony of Dr Albertu Adair Moore.

The Russian prime minister has
announced that in case Russia ana
her allies are successful in the war
Russia is to have Constantinople and
the straights. and thus obtain what
she has sought unsuccessfully for a
thousand years, an ice free port. The
minister said that England, France
and Italy had agreed to this some
time in 1915. The announcement
was no doubt made at this time for
the purpose of heartening the Rus
sian people. With the possibility oil
securing this territory Russia will no
doubt fight to the bitter end, for the
desire to secure an open sea port has
been the central idea of her di-
plomacy and military undertakings
all these years since Peter the Great
went down to Holland and learned
the value of ships.
But the famous straights md the
city of Constantinople are yet In the
hands of the Turk, and there seems
no probability that they will change
hands in long time. The Germans
continue to push back the Rumanians
and are expected to shortly take pos
session of Eucharist. their capital
The deadlock on all the other fronts
continues, and there are not the
slightest signs that the war can be
brought to a close by either side in
a long time. In order to gain access
to the outside world and to develop
her commerce. both for her own
sake and for the res of he world
Russia is certainly entitled to have a
sea outlet somewhere.

bad Newspaper Reporting.

There is an old saying that one
should not make mountains out OF
mole hills. II is to be feared that
many of the men who gather news in
the towns aud cities in North Caro-
lima have fallen too much into this
very habit The most of these men
write at space rates. that is. they are
paid for such of their writings as are
published. This fact. coupled with
the further fact that newspapers are
always looking for things out of the
ordinary. and for all kinds of things
that carry a thrill" to their readers,
accounts for a lot of rotten stun with
which the daily press is flooded. The
result is TO minimize the real news
and TO flood the papers with worth
less stun that benefits nobody and is
a waste of time to the readers. AS

Durham few days ago. serves. II
was sent all over the country and dis
played and featured by the big pa
pers and of course the smaller ones
copied il. The story was that mes
senger boy had met and married a
very rich widow who was 40 years
old and had twelve children. He was
attracted by the million which she
was reputed to own. AT least that
was his story. OF course the cor
respondent grabbed il. He later sends
out the information that the woman
was not rich at all and that the young
man had been in the school for the
feeble minded As he got the story
from the boy at first. the correspon-
dent must have known that he was
not at all likely to have found any
woman of means crazy enough to
marry him. But the correspondent
did not wish to bring out the inn
probability of the story. He wanted
to get his stuff accepted, and he was
willing to impose upon the public for
the sake of doing it. We do not
know who the correspondent was and
this case is used only as an illustra-
ton 1t is the business of news
paper man to protect his readers
against humbug and frivolous reports
unless they are written so that their
real character may be easily known.
Every time there is little excite
ment over a crime the correspondents
feel that it is absolutely necessary
to add that a lynching is expected or
talked Of This serves only to help
along the lynching sentiment. as the
most OF such reports are not true in
any real sense In the cock and bull
story referred to above the cores
pendent should have stated that the
claims were set forth by the man on
ly, unsupported by facts, and that the
real character of the man made his
story improbable.

even that of a barber. Sounds funny
doesn't it? You would think that
shaving and cutting hair would be-
come rather monotonous after a
while, but listen:

interesting things | know of" a vet

has his own idea about how his hair
ought TO be trimmed. It's my job

notions.
Now, there is the bald-headed
fellow. He always wants il cut
short or else arranged so as to cover
the badness" he said. Sometimes
is is quite a study TO know just what
to do. But that's the interesting
part Of it."
The safety razor has become a Sc
rious menace to the business, this
barber said
The young men, You know, fall

many travelling men find them a con-

Barbery is one business which is
unaffected by the weather or chang
