re 1 AMERICAN AIRMEN
ss HOLDING HUNS BACK.
! No More Flying Over Our Lines ut
Will.
a:
is j With the American Army in
oflFrance, Saturday, May 25.? (By Asis.
jsociated Press.)?The activities of
u-jtne American air squadron operating
ol ' in the sector northwest of Toul
is'seem to have had results oven more
effective than was anticipated,
t- When it first began its work there
ta were between thirty and fifty sumid
mons to activity coining into our
ie|aviators daily. Gradually the nui iber
! nf calls had dwindled until for s?-vir
; civil days the average ha-* t - n only
lg me a day.
s- From a strictly tcchincal military
r. standpoint, the operations of the i
ie American airmen have two objects. I
The first is to kill off the opposing I
xt airmen, while the second is to l:eep I
;i: jthe enemy from flying his machines!
k. on the American side of the line and
V.; thus preventing him from taking
r, photographs, regulating artillery
; fire, or in any way securing in form a-J
0 1 tion.
t The records show that the new
k, squadron has already taken a ered-1
n-|itable toll of enemy pilots and ob-j
|servers, while for a German airplane]
at to come over the American lines now
aljts a rare occurrence. This situation
|contrasts sharply with that which
is prevailed when these aviators first
I
started operating,
to j Moreover, according to information
obtained from a German ollicer
aviator brought down within the
last few days, the fear of the Anter
iran aviators nas oeen lnsiuien mio
li-!tho German flying corps. This
prisoner furnished the information
that the line from St. \lihiel to Potiy
ti-Mousson, within which the Amerit)e
ican airmen are operating had come
n- to be regarded as a dangerous place
r. for German pilots. Our fighting avtiejiators
could not possibly have heard
a more welcome tribute,

AMERICAN RAID SUCCESSFUL
!
"Sammies" Accomplish Work Quickly
in Montdidier Region.
With the American Army in
Fiance, May 25. Saturday?(By Associated
Press.) American forces in
the Montdidier region carried out a
silent raid upon enemy positions yesterday,
killing six men and capturing
one. Without the assistance of the artillery
the Americans slipped into
the enemy trenches and quickly accomplished
their work.
German Account.
Amsterdam, May 26.?"Heavy losses"
were inflicted upon the Americans
on the Picardv front in the repulse
of strong American patrols
yesterday west of Montdidier it is
claimed in a semi-otlicial German report
receivd today in a Berlin telegram.
i The report in the course of a deiscription
of yesterday's military operations
says:
I "West of Montdidier strong Amercan
patrols advanced against our
front. One American patrol was entirely
cut up by our fire. The others
were thrown back by counter-attack.
The Americans thereby suffered
heavy losses "
Militarist* v*. "Yankees."
Amsterdam. May 26.?Regarding
ihe American hordes training in
the French csrinps, the semi-official
jNorth German Gazette of Herlin remarks:
j "Fresh reinforcements are meanwhile
maturing in our recruiting depots
behind the front and we will
wait and see whether the lightning
'trained Yankee will hold his own
'against the German lads who have
had military training from their
youth."

GERMANS LAUNCH
SECLND OFFENSIVE
?
i
ai.mks auk holding i'lhmly ,
i against ukavy assaults.
I
j
Tin- It low Fulls Suddenly With Only (
Itrief Artillery l*re|Mtrat ion,
but IY?"?jmi.s Itiu Hut tie. ,
I
Germany's preat offensive on the '
western front litis been resumed. t
With only brief artillery prepara- (
tion two blows have been struck by ,
the Teuton armies, which have been ,
reorganized since disastrous losses !
were inflicted on them by the French |
and British during the Picardy and ,
1 landers battles in March and ^pril.
One attack was on the line from Voor (
Mezeele to Locre, southwest of |
Ypres; the other on a thirty-five j
mile front from Pinon, north of Sois-;
sons to Kheims. This is known as the!
Aisne sector
In Flanders the Germans have
gained virtually nothing, but farther
south the Berlin official statement
claims that the German Crown
Princ's troops have carried the whole
ridge of the Chemin-Des-Dumes and
now are fighting on the Aisne river. ]
The German attack in Flu.i^ *rs is
against positions taken by the 1 rencn
May 20, when they recaptured Brulose
and Locre and strengthened
their line on each side of Hill 44,
which they had retaken u few days
before.
On the Aisne front the present bat- ,
tie recalls the fearful fighting of last
summer along the .Chemin-Des-Dam- \
1 es, where for weeks the German
Crown Prince hurled his men a- nst
the French positions only to ?e .1
crushed and beaten. Last yeai s
'enty-five divisions were eng-aged in
the German attacks along this line
alone.
The attack here is really in the!
nature of a line straightening operation.
It is being launched from Laon j
as u center and is aimed at the elbow I
in the line formed during the fight- :
ing in Picardy in March and April. |
Here, however, the Germans must |
,: face permanent works which have'
i been occupied by the French for long
. periods and which can be defended'
quite easily.
Evidence that the Allied supreme!
command was forewarned of the new
German attack may be found in the
fact that British troops are fighting
there. The German Crown Prince is
in command in this sector and this
may indicate serious effort to break
the Allied lines. Crown Prince Rupprecht,
of Bavuria, is the nominal :
commander in Artois and Picardy,!
'and the German Crown Prince for
dynastic reasons will strive to outdo
whatever success is attained by his
? oll< ague farther north
It is ??rob:?Mn that American j
troops are engaged in the fighting in
both battles on the French fronts.
The late official reports note quite
severe fighting in various sectors,
among them the Apremont forest,
where Americans are known to he
holding positions at the present
time. The reports say the Germans
were repulsed in all these attacks.
It is officially reported from ,
Washington that American positions
in Picardy sector, near Cnntigny
' and Montdidier. have been subjected
to attack and that at places the Ger-:
roans penetrated them. The enemy,
however, was driven out by thei
Americans,
icans.
Almost coincident with the new
German assault the Italians launched
a blow at the Austrian linns in thn
mountain region to the northwest of
Lake Garda. According to reports
'they have carried Monticello Pass, i
the village of Presena, Monte Ziglon
and the mountain spur to the east.
Itefore them lie parallel streams
leading down into the Lagarina valley
and if they successfully carry out
their attack there, it Is possible
to outflank the entire Austrian po,
sition in the north of Italy.
The Keuter correspondent at head
i'quarters in France describes the German
bombardment as scarcely less
violent than that which heralded the
German offensive on March 21. Gas
shell.- were employed in great quan
lilies .ind the bombardment and infantr>
attack between Soissons and
Kheims were on a more formidable
i scale than in Flanders.
I The Germans according to this
correspondent, employed their fatni
liar formations dense waves of in>
fs ntry following closely in the wake
of a lilting barrage, and they pushed
* '"? 11 uoujis up ?iui rnararif risuc
recklessness.
j "Among the signs of a resumption
iof the grand offensive are that the
enemy is heavily shelling our far
l>ack areas with high velocity guns,
and also his airmen are unusually
venturesome." continues the dis-j
patch. "A note of confidence comes'
in the reports from the battle front "

It it had not been for some coolteaded
work on the part of Sheriff
^ant- there would have been a seious
affair on the Mil) Village Satirday
-afternoon.
.1 r\ Hughes, a man about 60
ears of age. came here from Laiu>erton
not many months ago.
Hughes is an employee at the mills.
He had been leading a peaceful life
intil Saturday afternoon when be
illed Ul) on "monkev rum" an?l >??
;an to raise a rough house. He
vas buying groceries sit the mill
store and had some words with Mr.
Jausey, si clerk in the store. Blows
.vere exchanged and Hughes got the
worst of the affair. Hughes proceed
*d to his home nearby and arming
Himself and his ltl year old son with
shotguns returned to the store looking
for Causey. In the meantime
Causey got out of the way and a
small boy threw Hughes off the track
by telling him that he saw Causey
"going around a corner." Hughes
went back to his home making
threats against Causey's life and Mr.
Davis, the store manager phoned
Sheriff Lane to come to the mill village
and arrest Hughes.
When the sneriff reached Hughes'
house he found Hughes sitting on
the porch with a rifle across his
knees. Hughes warned the sheriff
not to come near him, but while
Sheriff Lane was talkiug to the man
he kept advancing and finally reached
the steps wltere he sat down.
Hughes had put his gun aside and
the sheriff was in the act of covering
him with his pistol when he happened
to look around and discovered
Hughes' 1?> year old boy sitting in
the passageway with a shot gun
pointed at him ready for action.
Sheriff Lane got up and told Hughes
that he would get a warrant and
I come back for him.
Mr. Davis, the mill store manager,
came back to town with the sheriff
and they got a warrant from Magistrate
Haselden. Accompanied by Mag
istrate Haselden, Mr. Davis, Deputy
Britt and Mr. G. D. Barlow. the
sheriff returned to Hughes' home.
When the party arrived at the house
Hughes raised his rifle and told them
not to approach the house. The boy
was still sitting in the passageway
with the shotgun across his lap. The
sheriff began to argue the matter
with Hughes and finally Hughes
agreed to submit to arrest provided
the bond was fixed at the amount
suggested by him, the amount being
very small. The party entered the
house and the bond was made out.
Hughes was asked to come forward
and sign it. He came forward with
his rifle still in his hands. As he approached
the table the boy was asked
to conn- 1111 and siirn the bond ?1ro
The boy could not manage the gun
and the pen at the same time and in
a thoughtless moment he laid the
gun .aside. As he did so Mr. Davis
grabbed him by the arm and drawing
a pistol he thrust it into Hughes'
face and told him not to move. At
this moment another member of the
party grabbed the rifle and wrenched
it from Hughes' hands. Without
further ceremony the father and son
were placed in the automobile and
taken to jail where they will remain
until the case is heard at the June
term of court
Hughes has a bad record. He has
served time in Clarenden county and
before coming to Dillon had some
trouble with the authorities at Lumberton.
He is a man nearly 60
years of age and the father of several
sons and daughters. One of his
sons was a member of the party of
young men sent to Camp Jackson
Sunday morning.
When the sheriff saw Hughes inthe
jail Sunday morning Hughes
seemed to be very penitent. He
broke down and told the sheriff his
life had been one of trouble. He
attributed it to whiskey, saying that
he was a quiet and peaceful man until
he began to drink and then he
wanted trouble with everybody. The
boy seems to have a very high regard
for his father and admitted that
he was ready to carry out his father's
orders to shoot if necessary. The
gun was loaded and in the boy's
blouse were found a dozen shells
loaded with No. 1 shot. It is evident
that father and son were looking for
trouble
o
Twelve Cousins in Army.
The Fass brothers, Messrs. Mor
ris. Max, David and Isaac Fass, hav<
five cousins in France or in
training camps, while Mrs. I. I. Fusk
has seven cousins in the service,
some of whom are fighting ia France
while others are in the training
camps. Mr. I. I. Fass says his fatherin-law
who lives in Chicago writes
him that several of his sons and nephews
have closed up their stores and
gone to the front and offered to give
Mr. Fass a mercantile business if he
would come to Chicago and take
charge of it. This is quite a creditable
record for one family.
