Summary of the Great War as Told in Late Press Dispatches French Check Attack by Crown Prince's Forces near Dead Man's Hill in Verdun Region. Blockhouses Also Captured From Germans. Austrians Capture Italian Troops and Machine Guns in Short Engagement. Fighting of the most intense char acter is in progress in the Dead Man h;i: region northwest of Verdun where the Germans are desperately battling to break down the French defense and Ljaiii possession of this commanding eminence and the other key position to the Verdun fortress hiil 304. This afternoon's Paris bulletin re cords the repulse of renewed attacks by the Grown Prince's troops west of Dead Man's Hill, where the German lines were advanced Saturday night. Paris also claims the capture during hist night of several blockhouses that were held by the Germans in the Ave- court wood, southwest of hill S04 and the beating off of German attempts to recapture the Haudromont quarry, oast of the Meuse, near Douaomont, which the French took yesterday. Continuing their determined offen sive on the Italian front, and extending its scope, the Austrians have made fur ther progress in the Southern Tyrol. The Vienna war office announces that the peak of the Armentara ridge has been carried. Several additional vil lages also have been occupied. More than .'5000 Italians were cap tured in Saturday 's fighting, tog-dtic with 25 cannon and eight machine guns. ' The German steamer Worms, of 4, 428 tons, which left Sweden several days ago for Germany, is missing and is believed to have fallen victim to one ef the allied submarines in the Baltic. Violent cannonading has been h -ard in the Baltic off the Swedish coast, ac cording to a news agency despatch to day, leading to a belief that German and Russian warships have been in an engagement. The British forces in the Soudan are reported through Constantinople to liav met with a defeat in a battle with re belloiis tribesmen in the province of Daifur. Possibly because these forces were needed in pushing the offensive against the Italians the Austrians are reported to have withdrawn 50,000 troops from Albania. - Tobacco men then fought Kitchin because his opposition to certain fea tures of the shipping bill they inter preted a further inharmony in the par ty. It is very true that some of the best Wilson county men vehemently protested against this disloyalty to President Wilson. It is just as trite that some of these were little inter ested, in Woodrow Wilson four yearn ago and are not crazy about him now. But the biggest oxpositioti which the district has been able to arouse comes from the tobacco interests which de clare that Kitchin 's course tied up many millions of pounds and caused heavy loss to the people who grow and manu facture the weed. "Truth Shall Never Die." This has 'been made an effective is sue and was worth a hundred such a' "disloyalty to the President." Even Postmaster Smith 's noble Seven Hun dred would have had difficulty stand ing together if the Mitchell men made good on that charge. In large circu lars over which is printed. "Truth Shall Never Die," in big black type the following letter from Speaker (lark, "the statesman -who came in a very few votes of being the Democratic President today. ' ' Many Leaders Against Kitchin. With the certainty that Kitchin is going to be overwhelmingly renominat ed ami that the onslaught which prom ised something a month ago will be forgotten in a day, Mr. Kitchin finds many leaders against him and will j'ob ably have a harder fight next time. The leaders are "laying" for him. Assuming that self interest plays a on siderable part in tiieir ealuculations it was but natural that they desired Mr. Mitchell. At best he would have been satisfied in Congress but a term or two. If he could be sent to Washington on the wave, of presidential popularity or upon the call for preparedness, Claude Kitchin 's career was ended and some body else's begun. The two men who have most dis cussed as successors are N. J. Rouse of Lenoir, and Judge Geo. W. Connor of Wilson. It appeared three days ago that their friends might exert them-, selves to the utmost. Neither friend nor principal seems to have turned a hand. It now- looks as if Kitchin will take SO per cent of Lenoir, 90 per cent being the least that a Kitchin man would be satisfied with. for the Connors, they are not fighting Kitchin. They are not even talking about him. Back in 1902 Claude vctesto nominate him with his strength in Halifax, would stick to the cong ! ss laau. Hiriinons M u Wit!;. Tv-..ft..:sin. The number of Simmons leaders who are entirely opposed to defeating Kitch in is amazingly large. They love to go back to 1912 and quote Kitchin 's speeches advocating Will Kitchin be cause Simmons was not en rapport with a Democrat, like Woodrow Wiilson. They love to te-11 Claude's partisans just how foolish the state would have been to make the change and they do love to talk about the chickens com ing home to roost. Then they apolo gize tor vctmg the ivitc.un ticket t;y (.xnlainmg that if they were not wiser than Brother Claude they would swat hire, good and hard. Always in the end they say that it would be a tra gedy to defeat a man whose oppor tunities for good are so .great. And had if not been -for the number cf Simmons men who opposed the de feat of a party leader of such long ser ic.e the Mitchell c.mdMiaey would have amounted to somethhig. On the bare Kitehiu-Simrions division there i. Mt t'e majority either wry.

One con.ddrable personality in ''ril vin Woodard, wholesale merchant, in carnates the Mitchell strength. Mr. Woodard likes Bob Glenn and speaks like Bob Ingersoll. You may catch him in his store without a clerk or book keeper or any help. He will boot a ton of meat on a wagon and kick Kitchin as the wagon leaves the curb. He nev er stops. He is 51 years old and has voted for Kitchin since the war. "I am getting itemed tired of it," Mr. Woodard says, "and "we are going to teach him a lesson." Doesn't Hope to Beat Kitchin. Mr. Woodard admits that the cam paign now can be didactic only. He does not hope to beat Kitchin, with whose dogma he isn't wholly displeas ed. But we can teach him that North Carolina is yet a sister and the second is a child of the sister. The enter prise has either degenerated or been exalted to a school. The merchant will bet any man any thing from a ton of western meat to a half million that Kitchin will noi j can y W llson county, it is a soul '.s rest to find one man positive.

Uncertain North ampton appears to be almost as solid ly and Warren has been unable to get interested. Halifax was always in the way of optimism. Calvin Woodard could never see any hope of Mitchell's nomination so long as Halifax is in the fainting legions of the Lord. ' Kitcliin will carry Wilson. It is safe to say so now for Mr. Woodard won't know it until Saturday, and it will be too late to have him show how much more a, linguist money is with a wholesaler than it is with a newspaper guv.

Grand Ke- tiie district. The imagination must do j le vcry feebleness of the Kitchin op the rest for all who read this para- j position and his supporters could grow graph. It is worth noting as one goes j iUTOraut in the sureness of certain and along that Halifax contracted the habiu j overwhelming indorsement of Brother Claude. This isn't the only place that has been visited and on it does not depend the outcome of the Mitchell candidacy. But it is the only place which shows the fighting good faith. Mr. Mitchell has many strong supporters in Wilson, and Mr. Woodard isn't his sole hope. Nobody else puts quite the energy or the eloquence into it that Calvin Wood ard carries and it is a pleasure to see or hear him speak. Why Fight is Hopeless. For days the integrity of the fight against Kitcliin has been impeached by friends of Postmaster S. W. Smith who holds the office by the Kitchin O. K. The tobacco men a' a class have ap peared to feel more resentment of the Kitchin record than any other. Mr. Smith comes in here. He is the head of the big co-operative tobacco busi ness in which 700 farmers share. In th? of voting for Kitchins many years ago and that back in 1S9S and 1900 with a jet -black population a Demo cratic majority of 5,000 wasn't an im possibility. Mitchell's men are today being com forted. To all who claim as Kitchin 's crowning achievement the shoving back into the party of F. M. Simmons, they present Clingman W. Mitchell as the man who spanked Kitchin and made him behave himself. When a caripaign runs so dry as that church is out. It's the live issue down here now. The question is no longer whether Kitchin will be returned. It is whether he has been spanked or not. The Mitchell men say he has; the Kitchin men say he hasn't felt it. W. T.
