METZ IS UNDER THE
FIRE OF AMERICAN GUNS

w OSpt' -"'
tative John H. Small, chairman OF
the house committee on rlsv.e anu
harbors, and Harry B. Spear, presl-
dent of the West Coast Shipbuildlng
company, whcih is son to construct
shipyard at New Bern, held con
ference here yesterday on the intra-
coastal waterways movement.
With the construction of his ship.
yard at New Bern, Mr.. Spear hopes
to increase interest in North taroi.-
ma and the south concerning the
greater uses of baresg and inland
waterways as means OF relieving
railroad and freight traffic. The
New Bern yard will be equipped to
build unlimited number of barges
and river steamers for government
al and commercial uses. The gov
ernment has already promised the
West Coast Shipbuilding company
which now has in operation ship
yards on the Pacific coast, sufficient
orders to keep the New Bern yards
for some time.
"The south has a great opportuni-
ty ahead of it in the use of its in
land waterways" said Mr.. Spear.
Representative Small and l discuss
ed yesterday the feasibility of gen.
eral conference, to be held at New
Bern or elsewhere, as the forerun-
ner of a campaign of education to
wake up the southern section as to
the advantages Of cheap transporta-
tion by water. The opportunity is
here and North Carolina and other
southern states need only to be en-
couraged to accept it.
Reports here that a lack Of prior
ity orders might delay construction
of the New Bern yard were declared
baseless by President Spear yester-
day.
He haid arrangements had been
made for beginning Immediately the
construction of the New Bern ship
building plant and that the necessa-
ry priority orders which are neces-
sary fuS the supply and transporta-
tion of construction materials,
would be forthcoming. Mr. Spear
plans soon to leave for New Bern for
the winter.
Mr.. Spear yesterday explained a
recent wrangle he had with a Wash
ington hotel, concerning which in
quiries came yesterday from New
Bern following the receipt of reports
that Mr.. Spear had been arrested at
Washington.
Someone at the hotel stole two
suits and an overcoat, and other
clothing out of my room," said Mr..
Spear. II valued the lot at 5000 at
least. When the hotel rendered a
bill l demanded that they deduct the
value of the stolen apparel. | agreed
to compromise on a 500 reduction
and to pay the bill. The hotel man
agement refused to make an allow
ance and tried to bulldoze me by
threatening to swear out warrant.
| told the manager l could not be
bulldozed and to go ahead and ar
rest. When the warrant was served
Wednesday had bond already pre-
pared and am ready to fight the mat
ter out. That is all there is to the
row.
Mr.. Spears controversy is with
probably the most expensive hotel in
Washington. He had been stopping
there several weeks and, according
to his statement, paid $3.50 on the
bill and then withheld a balance
pending settlement for the stolen
clothing.

With the American Army in the
Lorraine sector, Sept. 19th-(By
the Associated Press)-Eight Am
orleans were killed when a clearing
hospital was struck by enemy shells.
The enemy threy large number
of explosive projectiles on two sue

Germaps deliberately fired upon the
hospital as no wood was near to OBJ

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness and that is by constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by aninfiamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian 1be. When this tube IS lnhamed you have a rum bling sound or imperfect hearing. and when it IS entirely closed, deafness is the rssult. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever Many cases of deaf ness are caused by Catarrh. which IS an an intlamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cure acts thru the blood on the mucous sur faces of the system.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrhal deafness that cannot be cured by Hall s Catarrh Cure Circulars frse. All druggists. 75c.
