Why This Sniper Did Not
Kill AnyHahan Troops

Headquarters Italian Army, April
2O.-( Correspondence OF The Asso-
ciated Press There is 4 narrow
pass on the mountain front of the
Craps which has given the ltal-
ians lot OF trouble up TO short
time ago 1t is a rocky defile with
cliffs rising sheer a thousand feet
on either side. Through this mar
row passage it was necessary for
the men to go every day in hand
ling supplies. But as they passed
they were picked off one by ono
by an Austrian sharpshooter in a
cavern near the top of the cliffs.
Here he had been lowered from the
enemy lines along one side of the
cliffs, and here food was lowered
and the deadly sniping kept up day
after day.
1t was recently observed, however,
that 4 strange change came over
the operations from the cliff. The
shots rang out as usual whenever
an Italian soldier went through the
pass. But, singularly. no man ever
fell; the shots always went wide of
the mark; the cunning of the sharp
shooter appeared to be at an end.
This continued for days, with the
Italians going back and forth safe
ly, and the aimless and idle shots
ringing out from the enemy post in
the cliff.
The Italians finally made raid
to clear out the place, their bat
teries pouring shot into the cavern

DEMAND FOR FISH
GREATLY AUGMENTED
War Brings New Species in the
Market as Edible.

Washington, May 2S.-One OF the
most curious anomalies OF the pres
ent war, which has been called the
greatest destroyer in the world
history, has been the addition OF
many thou sands OF dollars to the
national wealth OF the United State
through the utilization OF fish food
which were thrown away AS worth
less until necessity demanded their
conservation. Fishing communities
on the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific
coasts and even on the interior lakes
have found their incomes augment
ed materially by the public readiness
to eat fish. which formerly was re-
garded with prejudice through ig-
norance OF the foods tastiness and
nutriment.
The radical change which has
been wrought by the war in the
fishing industry is reflected in the
Fisheries Service Bulletin. publish
ed by the bureau of fisheries OF
the department of commerce. In
stead OF being confined solely to
items concerning salmon. shad, cod
and other fishes which have had

which formerly rejoiced in the un-

types OF water food. Regarding the

taught the value OF the founder and
attractive ways to prepare it, de
mand for the fish increased until
last season there were IS boats TAX

markets. and probably 2OOO.OOO
pounds have been marketed. Carp
abounds in interior lakes. An agent
of the bureau was sent to II. Louis,
Kansas City. Omaha, Minneapolis.
St. Paul Milwaukee. Chicago and
Indianapolis to stimulate the use OF
fish. A bulletin containing recipes
for cooking carp was prepared.
State commissions OF Minnesota,
Wisconsin and Indiana co-operated
in the work.
The result was greatly increas-
ed demand for carp. which contin-
ued to grow in favor as the public
became acquainted with its value.
More than 10000 pounds OF carp
were sold from Minnesota lakes, and
in Milwaukee the weekly consump-
tion reached 25.0OO pounds.
On the Pacific coast there is a
growing demand for sharks, rays
and whales. Sharks sell TOR 10 TO
IL cents pound. Ii is said to be
especially delicious when salted or
smoked. Numerous cann-ries have

Keighley, England. April 2O.-(By
maiD-The first woman candidate

ing party was Lieut. Guglielminetti,
and as he rushed into the cave >,
singular sight was before him.
Stretched on the ground was an
Austrian soldier dying from an
Italian bullet wound. But though
an Austrian soldier in the gray
green uniform OF Austria, the
wounded man raised himself on his
elbow, drew a tiny Italian flag from
under his coat, and in faint voice
exclaimed: give rltalia."
The dying man had only time 20
whisper his story. lie was Giorgio
Ayanazini, nephew OF the socialist
deputy Avanzini representing the
city of Trent in the Austrian par
lament. Like all the people Of
Trent and the Trentino, he was an
Italian by instinct houell forced
by the political situation of Trent
under Austria to enter the Austrian
army. AS such he found himself in
the Austrian lines at the top of the
cliff, and he had been detailed for
the dangerous task OF being lowered
to the cavern to pick OF Italian
soldiers as they passed. Being un-
der observation he kept his rifle go
ing, the shots rang out regularly,
but Avanzini took good care that
no shot found its mark in an ltal-
ian soldier.
Avanzini's body was lowered 10
the Italian lines, and the soldiers
whose lives he had spared joined
in giving the honors OF war to
man wearing an enemy uniform.
