FRENCH AM) ITALIANS ARE
ACTIVE, OX AMiAXlAX FRONT
trench Troojw Continue Offensive
Tactic Intermittent Artillery Du
el Along British Front American
Aviator Active.
For the moment, the eyes of the
anted woild aie turned away from
the battle front in Fiance, where
the German are believed to be pre
paring lor a resumption of their their
ohensive against the positions held
by the soldiers of the entente na
tions. The most active arrangement
in the various theatres of the war
is in Albania, where the French and
Italians are continuing their success
es against the Austrians.
While it is not expected that far-
reaching results will be brought about
by tne offensive in this section or the
world, the movement has in it possl-
oil;ties which seem interesting. The
apid progress by the French and
Italians, the probability that the Aus-
tro-Bulgaria line to the east, past
Lane ucnnua may be outflanked and
the possibility that an offensive may
be launched along the Salonika front
tend to give the events In Albania
some importance- at a time when the
main battle area Is quiet.
There have been Indications recent
ly that an offensive might be begun
in Macedonia, ir for no other reason
than to draw Austrian, and possibly
Uerinan troops from Italy and Fiance
It is reported that the Bulgarians are
weary and that a powerful blow along
the front north of Saloniki might
bring about notable military and po
litical results. The Teutonic allies in
Macedonia have been savagely at
tacking the entente lines, but have
been driven back.
French troops continue their often
sive tactics east of the Retz forest,
along the line from the Maine to the
Aisne. The fighting has gradually ex
tended southward along the front
southwest of Soissons, with the
French repeating their operation of
pushing the enemy back from strong
positions from which he might easily
reach vital ground along the French
line of defense.
Along the British front, there have
he-en Intermittent artillery duels,
deepening here and there into bom
bardmenis of great Intensity. This
lias been the case east of Amiens,
where the Germans have drenched
Auntraltnnf positions with shells and
then attacked In an attempt to regain
territory lost when the Australians
and Americans attacked on July 4.
The enemy has been repulsed with
losses. Near Merris, the British have
improved their positions in a minor
action.
There have been no events of an
unusual character along the American-held
sectors of the line except at
Chateau Thierry, where American av
iators have been active. One squad
ron has penetrated far behind the
German lines and it was believed it
brought back valuable information
as to the conditions there.
The situation in Russia remains ob
scure, and Germany has as yet made
no move as the sequel of the assassi
nation of her Ambassador Count von
Mirbach. at Moscow.
In the mountain sectors of the Ital
ian front the Austrians have bec-'i
pushed back slightly, in the Brenta
valley und on the Asiago Plateau.

C. A.
.Mrs. Robert H. Hargett has receiv
ed a very Interesting letter from her
brother Mr. Wriston Stales, a radio
operator with the American army
at present stationed at London. In
this letter Mr. Scales speaks very
highly of the work of the Red Cros.
and Y. M. C. A.
Portions of the letter follow: "You
are sure right, the Red Cross is doing
a wonderful work over here in Eng
land and In France don't see how
we fellows could get along if It were
not for the things and help they get
from the Red Cross. I have seen
numbers of Red Cross nurses in
England recently as well as nurses
from other countries. I saw the Ser
bian nurses last Sunday night at
concert given for the American forces
in England.
"They give a concert every night
at the Palace theatre, the leading ao
tors of the different theatres giving
their services free. There is a con
cert in all the huts (Y. Al. C. A.) al
most every night. I have seen some
fine ones in the American Y. M. C. A.
hut. They have a big hall and a real
stage.
'The Y. M. C. A. Is doing lots of
good work over here too, they are
sending lots of men over.
"I sure would like to hug the little
bouncer Mr. and Mrs. Hargett's lit
tle son, Robert. Jr.) Give him my
lov and tell him that I am going to
bring him a German for a souvenir.
"The war is progressing very fa
vorably for us right now. I think
this summer will see a peace move
on if the Italians hold out. If they
lose out well it's up to Uncle Sam
to get a few more millions over here."
This letter was written before the
Italian successes and there Is no dan
ger of their failing now.
American pursuit planes, flying In
squadron formation, have penetrated
German occupied territory to a dis
tance of 50 miles. They met and
chased several Hun machines beside
securing valuable Information. All

Roosevelt, the youngest son of Ex
President Roosevelt, brouint down
his first German airplane this after
noon in a fight i.orth of Chateau
Thieny.
Lieutenant Roosevelt with three
other pilots was Hying at a height
or 5,000 yard 8 eig.it miles inside of
the German lines, when the machine
became separated. Soon after,
Roosevelt saw three planes which he
thought were his companions ;tid
started to join them. He was colse
ly approaching the machines from the
rear wnen he saw hie mistake, for
the planes were Germans, Roosevelt
immediately ouenea Are and alter
50 shots tracers penetrated the fusi-
lage of the nearest German machine
and it went into a spinning nose dive
falling throught the clouds 2,000
yards helow.
The lieutenant :k certcin it must
have crashed, for no pilot voluntar

nose dive. The two remaining Ger

but he managed to make good his
escape and return to the field, him
self nnd his machine unscatched.

(From the Pageland Journal.)
Baxter Doster was shot and instant
ly killed in Petersburg, the negro
settlement lust outside the town lim
its, last Thursday afternoon by Lite
Smith at the close of the Fourth of
July festivities which had been in pro
gress during the day. It will be re
membered that about J 8 months ago
Llge had a big hole shot in him with
a shot gun by Baxter, and for sever
al weeks was very ill. Sint-e thai
time there had been little love one
tor the other, and the old Krudne
perhaps played Its part In Thursday's
shooting. Llge was in or near his
wagon-IfMno. Harington's yard when
Doster came along somewhat undet
the influence of drink, it is said, and
enraged because his horse had torn
out from his buggy and left him
afoot. He stopped, and after a few
words called to his wife not far away
to bring his shot gun. His wife
was hurrying with the gun; Lig'
backed away, followed by Baxter
and when he backed up to his wagon
he told Baxter to stop or he would
kill him. He continued and Lige lev
eled his pistol, and In an instant Bax
ter lay dying with two bullet holes
in his breast and one in his neck
I.ige came down and surrendered to
Policeman Gregory, and has been con
lined in the county Jail since that
lime. The corner's inquest Frldjtv
was merely a matter of form, as Lige

released under bond yesterday af

and in charge of Mrs. B. H. Griffin of
Marshville, county food demonstra
tor, and Mrs. J. C. Redfern of Wades
boro, food demonstrator for Anson
county, was a great success.
The demonstration began at ten
o'clock and continued until four
o'clock In the afternoon. A number
of women from Monroe and all parts
of the county attended. Wartime
recipes that will enable the women i
Union county to back up their boys!
in the trenches were the keynote of
the day. The main thing stressed In
the recipes was the saving of wheat,
sugar, fats and meat. Each demon
stration was accompanied by a I'
ture. The lectures alone were worth
going far to hear. In one of them
Mrs. Redfern presented to the moth
ers the question of preparing nutri
tons lunches for the school children.
"School children are under a continu
al nervous strain and lunches thai
provide for the-proper nourishinen'
of every part of the body are essen
tial to their health." said Mrs. Re
fern, in the lecture ac.-onipan-ing
the demonstration of making
brown bread.
One of the things which the women
attending the demonstration took
special interest in was a fireless cook
er which hud been made by Mrs. Grif
fin. The materials used in inakin?
this cooker were one laid tub, a good
sized can, some sawdust, a piece of
asbestos and some plaster paris. The
can Is smaller than the lard tub and
is placed inside of it after it has been
wrapped with asbestos. The space
between the can and the side of the
tub Is then packed with saw dust.
Plaster paris is th"n limited on top
of this to keep it in. All that is nec
essary to prepare food on tills cook
er is to start the food to cooking on
un ordinary stove. Alter it has reach
ed a good rent, place it in the can.
place the lid of the can on with a
thick cloth over il and the fool ccok.-
itself by its own heat.
Immediately after t'le demonstra
tion McAdoo, tiie pure blood Wyan
dotte rooster presented to the Mon-
toe chapter of the Red Cross by Mrs.
Griffin, was placed on sale on the
courthouse lawn. Mr. .1. G. Rogers
was auctioneer, who was to sell the
chicken for the benefit, of the Red
Cross. Bids were to start at one dol-
ar, the first bidder to give in this
dollar, as each raise was secured the
person making this bid was to con
tribute the amount he raised the bid.
Mr. Oscar Blair started the bid. and
when the bidding stopped at $12 1
was decided to postpone the sale un
til Saturday afternoon. At this ti
the bids will be resumed at twelve
dollars. The person b!d:ling last get
tho rooster.

LUXURY TAXATIONS BEFORE
WAYS AND MUX'S COMMITTEE
Many of Them Are 0Mised First
lrotest t onics During Hearing oil
Wholesale And Retail Jewelry
Trade.
Washington. July 10. Members
or the house ways and means com
mittee today studied with interest
the list of luxury taxations suggest
ed by the treasury department, but
opposition was apparent tfl lllanir n!
the proposals which some committee
men regarded as impractical. The
committee will take up the list item
o item when it begins naming the
new war revenue bill.
The first protest agaiurt the treas
ury's suggestions came todav durinir
the committee's hearing of represen
tatives of the wholesale and retail
jewelry trade. .Meyer D. Rothschild
and Robert B. Steele, both of W
York, declared that the proposed 50
per cent mail tax on jewelry was
ruinous and would force so many
concerns out of business that the
government would not derive nearly
as much revenue from this sniiri-
as it would under the ten per cent
tax.
William H. Hill, of Detroit, who
appeared belo.e the committee to
day to represent the patent medicine
industry, proposed the Canadian plan
of affixing a government tax stamp
on tax to be added to the selling
price.
While Mr. Hill was on the stand.
Representatives Fordney, ranking re
publican iiie-mber of the committee,
said the government's actual war ex
penses this year arter deducting $6,
OOO.OtlO.OOO loaned to the allies
ovvuld be $1 S.ooo.OOO.Oiiu,. The $8.
0000,000,000 which it is proposed to
raise by taxation, he said, represent
ed forty per cent of the total actual
expense and added that he did not
think that amount should be raised
by taxation.
A ten per cent on "wire le-ases"
intended to apply to telegrams, tele
phones and other wires whose use
Is leased, is one of the treasury pro
posals. The retail tax pilnciple is new in
the United States tax law, although
it has been levied In France, Eng
land, and Germany, The treasury
suggested that ten per1 reuf basis"
for this plan would be Too low and
that any one wanting the retails
goods would pay as high as 20 per
cent. The treasury proposed a li
cense tax of $10 a yea i on every
soda fountain.
The suggested tax ou domestic ser
vants would allow un exemption of
one female servant. Others would
be taxed as follows: First servant,
twenty-five per cent of wages paid;
second servant servant, fifty per cent;
third, seventy-five; and no more than
three servants, (not counting the one
female servant,) 100 per cent of wa
ges paid in each case.
Members of the coinmitte indicat
ed that the list would form the basis
for consumption taxes in their draft
of the bill, though some of the pro
posals would be changed and others
disregarded.
Besides doubling present taxes on
liquors nnd tobacco, quadrupling solt
drinks levies, nnd making general in
creases in other existing rates, th"
treasury suggestions include taxes on
50 per cent on retail prices of jew
elry, watches and clocks except those
sold to army or navy men: twenty
per cent on automobiles, bicycles,
musical instruments, etc.; lo cents
a gallon on gasoline to lie paid by
the wholesale; ten per cent on hotel
bills for rooms over $2.5u a day or
American plan over $5; ten per cent
on all cafe or restaurant bills and
taxes of unstated amounts on men's
suits selling for more than $30, wo
men's suits over $40 and coasts over
$30; men's hats over $4, shirts over
$2, pajamas over $2; gloves over $2;
