Familv There The fact that the name of Lieutenant Milton Pittman is reportied as having been aboard the ill-fated Tuscania has caused apprehension for his safety here' where he was knowj and immensely liked by all. Mr. Pittman was a compara tively young man and was engaged in the saw mill business' while here. He enlisted immediately following the formation of the forestry regiment and because of his-unusual capabili ties was given a commission shortly afterwards. Prior to his enlistment he lived at No. 418 Norjth Fifth street, vacating that house on the first of December when he London Newspapers Say Dis left here for Washingtno.

American soldiers, as - their trans port, the Tuscania. wound etTmortallv Jby a German torpedo, sank beneath the .wares, faced : death heroically. To their calm behavior and the sKiliful work of British destroyers and traw- approximatc-f lers is due the; fact that air: but 101 or -me passengers and crew were saved. Of. those lost, latest reports indicate that many were members of the crew.

The lack, of panic facili tated the work of the British destroy ers, who braved danger by coming up to the side of the sinking liner and taking oft the soldiers. The Tuscania remained afloat two hours, due prob ably to the action of the second en gineer who stopped the engines when the vessel received her wound. Reports of some survivors that the submarine , fell a victim to the swift vengeance of. the British destroyers lack official confirmation.' One Amer ican officer has related, that the U boat attempted to sink the rescuing destroyers and that one pursued the submarine and dropped depth bombs and silencing it probably for all time. On the American sector in France the artillery is endeavoring to even the score with the enemy by bom barding heavily German batteries, trenches and other - military targets. German guns were silenced When they attempted to reply. The Amer ican gunners succeeded in dispersing a large body , of GermansJ estimated at two battalions, and in inflicting losses on the detachment. German efforts against the French lines at Verdun iand in Alsace are growing stronger. Infantry attacks have Haken the place ot raids, but the latest German attempts were re pulsed with loss by the French northeast of Verdun, at the Bois Des Fosses and r south of Hartmanns Kopf, -in Alsace.

American ar tillery and infantry have succeeded in cleaning a majority of the snipers who caused t considerable annoyances f-ince the sector was occupied. Snip ers' posts in buildings have been de stroyed by knocking, down the shel ters over the heads of the Germans with shells. Snipers hidden in bushel or shell holes have been. routed by American sharpshooters. Night pa-1 trbls1 have succeeded in locating soms of the positions and the Germans in them, have been finished off later. Last night a small patrol entered an advanced German trench in search of a nest of snipers. A lieutenant, a corporal and two men left the Ameri can wire and returned ' five hours later. They walked -across. No Man's Land, picking their way carefully. Reaching the enemy wire, they crawled beneath it cautiously and ap proached 'the most advanced enemy trench. The men looked down into the trench, which apparently was abandoned but they were sure . snip ers were there. They; dropped down noiselessly and found a place where the trench bottom showed fresh foot prints; On the parapet the corporal discovered a rifle loaded and pointde in the direction of the American trenches. There was not a German around. t The: corporal brought ' back the rifle to the American lines. It is a typical German weapon made in Ber lin an din good condition. ' At 'another point, enemy .snipers were discovered in a shell hole. A few well placed . shots, from light ar tillery ended their career.
