American sharpshooters on the Sec
tor held by the United States forces
i northwest of Tou1 on the western
front have matched their marksman-
ship and wits against the skill and
experience of the German rifieman OPP
posed to them, and thus far have had
the advantage. Enemy snipers have
been routed from their hiding places
among bushes in the hi1ly, wooded
terrain or in shell holes by the expert
fire of the Americans, and where the
rife proved unavailing there was
brought into action machine guns and
light artillery which destroyed the
German shelters and made casualties

Dr. Won Seydler, the Austrian pre-
mier, has rendered the resignation of

opposition OF Polish deputies against
special debates and the provisional

HEARING IN PITTS Case
Burke County Men Committed to Jail
to Await Trial at Morganton
on Murder Charge. 80

Morganton.-The coroner's jury
concluded its inquest in the P1tts-Hen-
nessee case and rendered a verdict
that DIR. E. A Tennessee was shot to
death by Garfield and Aaron Pitts.
The jury was composed of G. T.
Webb, J. F. Britain, W. M. Mcdowell,
w. l. Walker, Fred Ross, Leith Cor
don and Coroner DR.. T. V. Goode. Be-
fore the time set for the preliminary
hearing all available seats and stand
ing room were taken and many stood
outside unable to get near.
When Solicitor Huffman called his
witness and announced readiness to
begin, the attorney for. the Pitts boys
waived examination and submitted to
the defendants being bound to the
March term of Burke superior court
without bail Therefore no evidence
was submitted.
Judge Cline, of Hickory, who is
here, upon motion of Solicitor Huff
man and agreement between the at
torneys, the defendants were commit
ted to the Buncombe county Jail to
be confined in separate cells, incOr-
porating in the order that the defend
ants would be allowed to be brought
to Morganton twice for period OF
several hours in order that their at
torneys might consult them.
Solicitor Huffman had asked that
the men be transferred to another
county for safe keeping, and they were
accordingly taken to the Buncombe
comfy Jail. There is said to be strong
feeling on both sides and it was fear
Jail delivery.
The solicitor says he has obtained
some damaging evidence against the
Pitts boys, but he refuses to make
public any of his evidence. He has let
it be known, however, that he has
nothing to implicate w. D. Pitts, ia
Their of the two men under arrest.
The Pitts-Hennessee fight, or rather
battle, several years ago, was the most
memorable affair Of the sort in these
parts within the memory of the pres
ent generation, and it's bloodiness is
still a favorite subject of reminis-
cence.
German Pitts was killed and Gar
field Pitts badly wounded. DR.. Hen
nessee was to all appearances done
for, shot and cut to pieces as he was.
But he, Spartanly, allowed himself to
be sewed together without anaesthet-
les and surprised everybody by get
ting we'll.
He was tried and acquitted, his law
yers being Gus Self and Mike White
ner After the trial he presented At
torney Self with an automobile in
token of his gratitude. He retained
his stoical demeanor all through the
court proceedings, and the
only moments when the courtroom
spectators saw his head bowed in grief
was when word was brought to him
that his little girl had just died. He
was allowed to attend the funeral un
der guard.

WHEAT AND MEAT CONSERVED,
Much Can BE Saved by Use Of Various
Substitutes in Arranging Lunch
for Children.

Wheat and meat can be saved In
thousands of lunches carried each
morning to school by the children of
this nation. There is no need to de-
crease the energy value or nOurish-
ment of these lunches, but in addition
to saving wheat and meat it is pos
sible with the various substitutes to
give a pleasing variety to the noon
meal at school.
Since whatever meat brought from
home is usually in the form of sand
wiches, the problem of the meatless
lunch is not hard, for so many good
sandwich filings other than meat are
easy to secure. Here are a few sug-
gestions for sandwich filings: Chop
ped hard-boiled egg mixed with salad
dressing; peanut butter; cottage or
cream cheese; chopped dates and nuts.
ALI are good and the children will like
them as well as meat.
For the wheatless day the sand
wiches are more of a problem, but
toasted corn mullins, rye bread, oat-
meal bread, or oatmeal or corn waters
can take the place of the bread made
Of wheat only. The filings can be
anything usually used.
A sweet such as chopped fruits and
nuts pressed and cut in cubes or slices,
a piece of chocolate, or oatmeal cook
les, will find favor with the children
in place of the cooky or cake made
from wheat -four.
Sandwiches, fruit, and a sweet make
a good lunch, especially If supplement
ed by a cupful of hot cocoa Or soup
made at school and containing some
milk. Or the lunch brought from home
may be even simpler-plain bread and
an apple or other fruit are enough If
the hot dish prepared at school is q
hearty one.

Destroy This House Pest.

The silver fsh-like insect known as
silverfsh or slicker Is a troublesome
pest in many homes where it is found
in books, papers, clothing and other
articles containing starch. It is par
ticularly destructive in libraries, being
fond of the paste used in the bind
ing of books. frequently it feeds on
the paste used in applying wallpaper,
causing it to scale off. It also dam
ages starched clothing linen and cur
tains If left undisturbed for any cOnsid-
cradle period Of time. Nearly every
housewife is familiar with this obnox-
ious little pest, which is able to run
about with great rapidity, though they
may know it by some other name than
silverf1sh.
One of the best household remedies
for silverflsh is pyrethrum. Sodium
f1uorid, a most efficient roach powder,
is also an effective remedy. It may be
busted, Or applied with the powder
blower, wherever the silverfish is likely
to occur. Frequent handling and airing
Of starched clothing and similar OH
jects will aid in their destruction. A
thin, boiled starch paste made of three
quarters ounce Of powdered white ar
senic and one pint Of -four is q good
poisoned bait when spread upon small
pieces Of cardboard and put in places
freQuented by silverflsh. AS this paste
Is very poisonous it should be kept out
