PARIS (By Mail) Captain de K j rills, of the French air service, herd of innumerabfe air-raids, in an interview with the United Press today, pointed j"out the great importance of these enter ! prists :and predicted that the co-opera- would 'shake the morals of the Ger man people and hasten the end of the war." "Air-bombardments," said the Cap tain, "are becoming one-of the most scientific forms of warfare. Every day they are. becoming more compTr cated. ' First of all, one must bear in mind that the 'aviatjon de chasse ad the 'avla'tion bombardment' are two very different things. 'IThe business of the former is to attack, that of the latter to manoeuvre. By manoeuvre, I mean that the func tion of air bomardments, is either to prevent concepj tration - of enemy air. craft, or to force to give battle. "Then of course there are reprisal raids, such ashosle we have just late ly carried out. About the . effective ness of these reprisal raids, when they t are suecessf uL there, is no doubt, and I Will give you an example. "On June 21 of last year, we under took a raid on Carlsruh as a reprisal f or a recent; raid- jmi Bar-le -Due.

BICKETT SPEAKS HERE DECEMBER 15 A great time is expected to take ' i place in Greenville, Wednesday, De- J cember 15. AH the Boys and Girls Clubs throughout tbV County of Pitt j are to have a big rally here on that day. ' . . rr-i. t i .1 l a 1. . . t I I uurruw iuuuiim nvctKX uus in-cu ; extended ah invitation to be present, ; and the committee in charge of the ! occasion, have been notified of his ac- j ceptance. He will address the clubs ; i at the East Carolina Training School, j J after which dinner will be served in; !the college dining room. ' It is expected that at least one huu- : :dred members of the clubs will le in; attendance, besides a large number of i j others. This will be'the first time since Gov ernor's inauguration, that he has been called upon to address the Boys and Girls Clubs in any county in the state. . i t illia Pvw ptipv ran rest assured or a ii i . i;,: ; warm and cordial welcome to Pitt . i county. He is a great speaker, so a great speaker, so rich and rare treat is in siore for the : citizens. A more definite account of i in these colums lat er. strict orders to cease bombarding prise. When they decide that the penalty for a certain enterprise is too great, they abandon it, at least tempo- rarily In the case of the German air. raids, which ceased for a while, such a calculation had certainly been made, "Finally, however, the Germans evi- deftly decided that it was worth while betrinninz their terrorizing system a gain, so they started their- air raids once more, though mostly on England. "One of the principal objects of these raids, it must be remembered, is to keep large uortions of the British air fleet in England to Oppose the inva, ders. The same problem is solved in big strategic battles, where the princi pal aim of bombarding squadrons is to keep the air forces of the enemy busy and to disperse them as much as pos sible. "The result obtained in aerial war fare have developed entirely new tactics which must be leart on the spot. To train bombarding squad rons takes time and very careful pre paration. v "One of the most important things is to acquire cohesion, or what you might call "team work." When an air raid is undertaken the enemy's first ob Jectis to break up the formation .of .the attacking squadrons by adroit, manoeu vres. Theh if this succeeds, ami the squadron Is scattered, its isolated mem bers are attacked and the result Is generally disasterous for the attack- ling party.

The Field Marshal reports "Good Progress" was made. The drive today was the second this week thathe British have directed at the last remaining hold by the ene my of the Passchendaele Ridge, which ; is the directive object of both thrusts ! on West Roosebeke. which lies at the ! iui eM iiuusi'ufnc, nuiLii lies ai lue i I eastern extremity of the high ground ' " 6 commanding the low lands.

PUSHING ENEMY BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS, ( United Press Staff Correspondent) WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES AFIELD The British troops drove their wedge uearly a mile further into the German positions about Passchen daele today. As this dispatch was filed Haig's victorious troops were report ed to hive achieved all objectives and that a dozen strongly fortified farms had been over-run by the attacking V.'Jf ves. Vigorous fighting is reported along "the advance line. The pressuru of General Haig's push has shoved the Bavarians gradually oil of the ridge. They are resisting violently hut unsuc cessfully. TERRA CEIA KING OF ALL THE CORN LANDS Much interest is being manifested in the big land sale to be held near Terra Ceia on Wednesday, the 14th. It looks like this will be one of the biggest events ever held in Beaufort county. Several weeks ago Mr. Carl M. Owen placed his 1,600 acre farm known as the Shirley Farm in the hands of Mr. W. E. Stubbs, Cashier of the Bank of Belhaven for sale. Mr. Stubbs has had considerable exper ience in handling real estate and ve ! feel sure that he will have one of the 1 biggest sales ever held in this section of the state He has secured the sar vices of the Atlantic Coast Realty Co., of Petersbury, Va., Greenville, N. C, and the Washington-Beaufort Land f Company of Washington, N. Carolina. to condut an auction sale. This, is probably the biggest real estate auc tion company in the country and al- ways have big crowds. ! ' A matter of usual Interest is that we understanl they are to sell the crop with the land. Another feature that is attacting great attention i that they are to sell in small tracts. Heretofore some of the drawbacks has been that the land has been owned by large owners who would not sell to small farmers. Only this week one of tne owners in this section refused $150 an acre of laud for the privilege of reserving the crop. We hope that a number of our local citizens will avail themselves of the opportunity of inve'sting in the fertile land. There 1 nothing that furnishes as substan tial a backing for a town as a good farming community. Now that one of our mills has closed permanently we take this opportunity of urging our local citizens to buy some of this land and not let people from the outside get it all. When a local citizen makes a good crop the proceeds stays at hame J and helps our town. We believe this : would greatly help in replacing the 1 loss that we will sustain from the loss of the Roper Lumber Company mill. Messrs. K. W. Cobb and R.
