Crushing of General Budenny, north of Lemberg, has opened the way for a general Polish advance and the Poles have gone forward from 15 to 40 miles on a front of more than 100 rfailes. “Our concentric attack has result ed in a considerable defeat for Gen eral Budenny, who is retiring in a panic,” the communique said. z ‘‘East of Lemberg we have thrown the Bolsheviki across the rivers Gnita Lipa and Bug (running north and south about twenty-five miles east of the city). “By smashing General Budenny’s army we have completely defeated the Bolshevik army in the Lemberg region and he is reported withdraw ing beyond Brody (fifty miles east and north of Lemberg). “We have made huge hauls of prisoners and materials.” x “lighting Between” Russian Bolshevik forces have oc cupied a number of villages from fourteen to twenty-seven miles north of Brest-Litovsk, according to an of ficial statement issued in Moscow yesterday and received here by wire less Further south soviet forces have advanced up tothe' town of Brest-Litovsk, the statement says. Further south the Bolsheviki oc cupied Zamoso, forty-five miles southeast of Lublin, on August 23, and in the Lemberg region are said to be holding up attacks by the Poles who, it is admitted, have “started to advance.” In the neighborhood of Buczacz, eastern Galicia, the „ viki have flung Polish troops back to the right bank of the Dniester river, the statement says.

LITHUANIA TO RESIST INVASION OF POLES BERLIN, Sept. 3. —Lithuania will defend herself with all means at her disposal against invasion by Pol ' ish troops and will prevent any fur ther violations of her territory, says a K< vno dispatch. A statement has been issued by the Lithuanian foreign minister, who declares: "The Polish government has is aued instruction for military occu pation of Lithuanian territory, atter having deceived Lithuanian officials by expressing friendly and peaceful intentions.” • "Bloodshed can be avoided only if the Poles withdraw,” the foreign minister is quoted as declaring. They must await the fixing of a tem porary line of demarcation which must be decided upon in agreement With the Lithuanian government. The note says the Poles attacked Lithuanian troops while boundary ne gotiations were pending. MINERS SIGN NEW WAGE AGREEMENT; MANY' STILL OUT SCRANTON, Pa., Sept. 3. —Repre- sentatives of the United Mine Wdrk • ers of America, who last night ac cepted and signed a new two-year year contract with the coal opera tors based on the award of the anthracite coal commission giving hard coal diggers increases ranging from 17 to 25 7-8 per cent, met to day to formulate a plan for re-open ing the wage agreement and asking for further increases. The union leaders declare the contract just signed is unsatisfactory in that it gave the workers little more than the offer of the operators which was rejected last spring. Many collieries throughout the anthracite regions were still idle to day, due to workers remaining away from the operations as a protest against the terms of the award. Union leaders declare they did not » sanction the suspension of mining while operators expressed the opin ion that the leaders are not unwill ing to see the mines idle pending ef forts to get further wage increases. t LABOR CONCILIATORS CALLED TO WASHINGTON WASHINGTON, Sept. 3. —Secre- tary of Labor Wilson today sum moned to Washington the commis sioners of conciliation familiar with miners’ disputes te be ready to act in the anthracite coal situation brought on by miners’ "vacations” strike.

Pa., Sept. 3. —Only five anthracite coal mines in the Hazleton district were able to start ioday on account of “vacations” taken by the men as a protest against/the wage award. .'he output was cut yesterday to 20 per cent, according to official fig ures given out by the Lehigh Valley railroad. LITTLE WORK DONE IN BIRMINGHAM DISTRICT BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Sept. 3. —With a strike call momentarily expected, union miners were doing little work throughout the Birmingham district, according to information at the of fice of the coal operators’ association. Another meeting of officers of the unio>. was in progress early today, but definite action looking to strike call had not been taken, according to Secretary J. L. Clemo. , Officials of the union asserted that {he strike call would be issued “very Boon now.” Coal op erators declare recognition of the unions to be the Issue, and say they will fight the Btrlke on that basis. Watson and Hardwick Are Ready to Cote Women if Committee Says the Word John P. Knight, in Speech at Auditorium Meeting, Urges Watson Followers to Carry Wives and Daugh ters to the Polls If the subcommittee on rtfjes of the Democratic state executive commit tee, at its meeting to be held at the Kimball house Friday night, de cides that the women can vote in the primary next Wednesday, the supporters of Thomas E. Watson are going to make the primary a “banner day" In the country. This announcement was made by John P. Knight, member of the house of representatives from JBerrien county, at the Atlanta auditorium Thursday night, in a short speech In front of the curtain just before the speech of Mr. Watson. William S. Wier, of Atlanta, intro duced Mr. Knight for a few minutes “to make an important announce ment.” Mr. Knight indulged in no preliminaries. Said he: “The Atlanta Constitution and the Macon Telegraph, facing defeat with their hand-picked candidates, and driven to desperation, have decided to stuff the ballot boxes of this state with the votes of women in next Wednesday’s primary. \ “Ever since 1 was old \enough to vote I have valued the advice of my mother above all others, whether in politics or anything else. I have al ways been in favor of the women voting. I favor it now. But I favor them voting in a regular and legal and orderly manner, after paying their taxes and subscribing to the other qualifications and placing their names on the registration list as re quired by law, the same as male voters. a , “I want to say this to the Atlanta Constitution and the Macon Tele graph—that we have got just as many mothers, wives, sisters, daugh ters and sweethearts, as they have. And we are going to take them to the polls, boys, and vote them. The Constitution and the Telegraph have started a game that two can play, and they needn't worry that we boys back in the tall timber and the wire grass won’t play it to a fare-you-well. We are going to hitch up the horse to the surry and crank up the flivver and go out among the highways end byways and gather up the women and take ’em to the polls. They H hear from us!” Mr. Knight’s announcement was re ceived with a hurricane of applause. Hardwick Heady That the campaign leaders for Thomas W. Hardwick have their plans all complete for summoning to the polls the female members ot the families of their supporters is the information spread broadcast in the Kimball House lobby in the past two days. Prominent supporters ot Mr Hardwick have made the state ment that 2,500 letters are written, enclosed in envelopes, addressed and stamped, ready to be mailed to his leaders in every county if the subcommittee on rules, at its meet ing Friday night, decides that wom en can vote in the primary. The meeting of the subcommittee is called for 8 o’clock in the Kim ball House. Fermor Barrett, of Toc coa a member of the subcommittee who claims to be its chairman, is sued the call immediately following the announcement of Attorney Gen eral Denny’s ruling that women could legally vote in the primary. He called the subcommittee, he ex plained, because Judge James J. Flynt, of Griffin.- chairman of the state comimttee, had refused to call a meeting of the state committee. In calling the subcommittee, Mr. Barrett requested a full attendance by all members of the state com mittee, so that the meeting could be resolved into a meeting of the* state committee. Judge Flynt on Thursday gave out a statement severely criticizing Mr. Barrett for calling the subcommit tee. He asserts that Mr. Barrett is not the chairman of the subcommit tee and acted without authority. He flatly takes issue with Attorney Gen eral Denny as to the legality of women voting in the primary. His contention is that the admission ot the women would nullify the pri mary and throw the Democratic party in Georgia into utter chaos and turmoil. He was not certain whether he would attend the meet ing of the subcommittee, of which he claims to be the chairman. FINAL SPEAKING DATES ANNOUNCED FOR J. N. HOLDER The following statement was given out Friday morning by the head quarters of John N. Holder, can didate for governor, "announcing Mr. Holder’s schedule for the closing days of his campaign through the state: “At the close of his campaign, John N. Holder has been making three and four speeches a day, and on ev ery occasion he has appeared as fresh and vigorous as though it were at the beginning. “Mr. Holder will conclude his campaign with four speeches in Ful ton county Tuesday, where his friends assert he will get a substan tial majority. Friday he speaks at Madison at 10:30 o’clock in the morn ing and at Athens at Bo’clock in the evening. "Saturday, Mr. Holder makes four speeches in Northeast Georgia ,in counties which his friends have promised him will be his on Sep tember 8. He speaks at Elberton at 10 o’clock in the morning, then at Hartwell right after dinner at 1.30 o’clock. Stephens county voters will hear Mr. Holder at 5:30 p. m. Saturday and that night at 8 o’clock a Cornelia, in Habersham county. “Monday, Septemebr 6, Mr. Holder will speak at Talbotton at 10 o’clock in the morning, at Butler at 3 o’clock in the afternoon, and at Americus at 8 o’clock in the evening. “Closing his campaign in Fulton county Tuesday, September 7, Mr. Holder will speak at some central point, probably near the Grady monu ment at 10:30 o’clock in the morning. At noon he will address the em ployes of the Hanson automobile factory. At 6 o’clock in the evening he will speak to the employes of the Southern railway shops, while a big open air meeting to be an nounced later will be arranged for the evening.” Georgians to Inspect University’s Farm KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 3.—Two hundred and fifty farmers from Georgia will arrive here Sunday morning for an inspection of the uni versity of Tennessee farm, according to a letter received by Bros. C. A. Wilson. The board of commerce and Auto club will welcome visitors. FLYNT AND BARBETT CUSH Oil QUESTION of w mine Former Takes Issue With Ruling of Attorney General, Latter Supports Stand for Suffrage A sharp controversy is developing between Judge James J. Flynt, of Griffin, chairman of the Democratic state executive committee, and Fer mor Barrett, of Toccoa, a member of the committee, as to whether the women shall vote in the September primary, and as to which of them Is chairman of the subcommittee on rules of the state committee. Judge Flynt is emphatically op posed to the women voting in the September primary. Disagreeing with the opinion rendered by R. A. Denny, state’s attorney general. Judge Flynt holds that/the women cannot vote le gally in the primary because they cannot comply with the Georgia reg istration law, which, he contends, is not abrbgated by the ratification of the suffrage amendment. Mr. Barrett contends with equal emphasis that the women are legally entitled to vote in the September primary. He has called a meeting of the subcommittee’ on rules of the state committed in the Kimball house at 8 o’clock Friday night for the an nounced purpose of rules and regulations to be complied with by the women desiring to vote. He issued this call, as he he stated, for the reason that Judge Flynt had re fused to call the state committee but he wishes the members of tne entire state committee would, be present, so that the meeting can re solve itself into a meeting of tne whole committee. Judge Flynt asserts that Mr. Bar? rett is not the chairman of the sun committee on rules, never has acted as chairman at a single meeting, and never has claimed to be chairman. Mr. Barrett claims that he is the chairman, and merely waived his pre rogative as such in favor of Judge Flynt. Counties Taking Action In the meanjjme, several county committees are going ahead on their own account to settle the question of the women voting. The Rich mond county committee, of which Joseph Ganahd, ap rominent Augus ta lawyer, is chairman, has notified all women desiring ,to vote in that county to register not later than Saturday night. The Ware county committee has notified the Ware county women that they can vote without registering. The election managers of Quillian’s district in Hall county issued a circular last Monday, z prior to the publication of Attorney neral Denny’s ruling, that the women could vote if they so desired. Judge Flynt has notified the Rich mond county committee, that the pri mary in that county would be nul) and void ’ t be women were allowed to vote. Replying, Chairman Ganahl says they are going to be governed by the constitution of the United States and not the opinion of Judge Flynt. It is probable that Judge Flynt will serve similar notice on all other county committees which un dertake to let the women vote. BRITAINDEAFTO PLEAS FOR MERCY FOR DYING MAYOR LONDON, Sept. 2. —Appeals in be half of Terence MacSwiney, lord mayor of Cork, who is in a critical condition at Brixton prison, this city, as a result of <a hunger strike, will not be recognized by- the British government, Sir Hamar Greenwood, chief secretary for Ireland, strongly intimated today in an interview with the correspondent of the London Times at Lucerne today. Sir Hamar also indicated the government would unswervingly adhere to its Irish policy. "None of the mercy which some seek to invoke for the lord mayor,” said the chief secretary, “was shown the 80 policemen who have lost their lives in Ireland.” "The present lawlessness in Ire land,” the Times’ correspondent quotes Sir Hamar as declaring, “is the work of a small body of men who are striving by carefully plan ned anarchy to impose secession from the British empire on eighty per cent of the people of Ireland who do not want to secede.” Premier Lloyd George, the corre spondent says, will return to London early next week and will not attend the meeting of Premiers Milleranu and Giolitti at Aix-les-Bains. which has been fixed for September 11 and 12. He adds that Erpir Feisal, who was elected king of Syria early in the summer and who is at present in Rome, is not going to Switzerland, having failed to arrange a meeting with the British premier. A Sinn Fein raiding party invaded the royal air force headquarters at Baldoyle, near Dublin, Saturday night and carried off a large num ber of secret military documents, in cluding the army x?trde and cipher used at the present time, according to the Daily Mail. It is declared the coup was the most daring and important that has been attempted In Ireland since the present unrest in that country began. CHRISTENSEN PROTESTS TREATMENT OF M’SWINEY CHICAGO, . Sept. 2. —A protest aganst permitting Terence MacSwiney to starve himself to death was dis patched Premier. Lloyd George today by P. P. Christensen, farmer-labor candidate for the presidency. “You have appalled the thinking world by your callous indifference to the death throes of the heroic lord mayor of Cork,” the message said. “The slayers of Joan of Arc had excuses such as - yours and so, too, did the executioners of Robert Emmett and the hangmen of Nathan Hale. If the Lloyd George govern ment is not a tryout, prove it by freeing Terence MacSwiney and with drawing your murderous army from the soil of the Irish republic.” TWELVE PERSONS HURT IN BOMB EXPLOSION DUBLIN, Sept. 2.—Twelve per sons were seriously injured in a bomb explosion at Londonderry, ac cording to advices received here to day. ATLANTA, GA., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1920. THOMAS E. WATSON HEARD BI OVERFLOW AUDiENCEINATLANTA Speaker Answers Attack of Legion and Hits at • Opponents in Race for U, S. Senate Before a crowd that packed the huge auditorium almost to suffoca tion, .while thousands outside clam ored for admission, Thomas E. Wat son on Thursday night fulfilled his speaking engagement in Atlanta and delivered a fiery speech in behalf of his candidacy for the United States senate. It was undoubtedly the big gest political gathering ever held in Atlanta and perhaps in the entire state of Georgia. While Mr. Watson’s audience was made up mostly of men, there were hundreds of ladies scattered through the crowd. They came with their husbands, brothers, sons and sweet hearts and they pushed and shoved along with the balance of the mob that surged about the doors in an effort to get inside.' More than a score of counties were represented in the big crowd. Dele gations of Watson supporters trav eled long distances to be present at the meeting and when they failed to get into the auditorium their atti tude was one of extreme exaspera tion. As for Mr. Watson’s speech, it con sisted mainly of a scathing attack on the American Legion, which is fighting him tooth and nail in this campaign, and fulsome praise of the principles enunciated by Washington and Jefferson. • He made brief men tion of Senator Hoke Smith and Gov ernor Dorsey, but bitterly referred to President Wilson. His denunciation of the League of Nations was re ceived wth shouts of applause from those near enough to hear him and the cheers were echoed by the crowd further back when they saw the dem onstration being staged up in front. John Knight Speaks His reference to Senator Smith came during his discussion of the League of Nations and the resolution adopted at the Democratic state con vention in May, following the presi dential preferential primary. “Hoke Smith helped to write the resolution which denounced the League of Nations,” said Mr. Wat son, “but now h 6 is anxious to get his na'ne off the resolution. My name is still there and I am proud of it.” Later on in his speech he ridiculed the idea that he was inexperienced in affairs of state and declared that Senator Smith’s experience was not so complete as to make him the only available candidate for the United States senate. “I have had thirty years expe-< rience, such as it is,” shouted Mr. Watson, “and youv all know that my experience is sufficient to fit me for the place.” He took only one shot at Gover nor Dorsey. At one point in his speech he referred to the charge that he was “destructive rather than con structive.”! M “They sky that I have no record of constructive accomplishment,” he said, shaking his head and waving his arms. “Well, let me call your attention to Governor Hugh M. Dor sey,, my very worst piece of con struction.” Promptly at 8:30 the curtain that hid the big stage was lifted, reveal ing Mr. Watson standing beside an American flag, while rqassed behind him were several scoreX>f his sup porters and curious spectators who had edged their way back to the stage as the only vantage point they could secure. John Knight, of Ber rien county, had been out in front of the curtain making a speech to keep the crowd quiet while they waited for the big event of the eve ning. He kept the crowd in good humor and held their enthusiasm at a high pitch until the speaker of the evening could begin his address. Cheered, by Supporters When Mr. Watson stood forth to speak, a wave of cheering swept the arena, his supporters yelling at the top of their voices, waving their hats and contributing to the general pandemonium. At the end of a min ute he was able to proceed, which he did with a smile on his face, evi dently in great good humor at the reception accorded him and at the enormous crowd that had turned ouc to hear him. In fact, he kept a broad smile on his face throughout his speech, which lasted a little over forty rninutes. Opening with a flowery explana tion of the principles of democracy a§ enunciated by Thomas Jefferson, the speaker asserted that he stood four-square with the great funda mentals of Americanism free speech, free press, separation ot church and state, state rights and absolute independence from all out side influences. He emphasized his views on thisssubject and from this vantage point launched into a de scription of what might be expected to occur if the United States shoula® enter the League of Nations. Digressing somewhat, he assailed the conduct of the war overseas, de claring that .the American officers treated the common soldiers like dogs, hanged them from gibbets when it suited their whims and in general acted like czars and auto crats. He exhibited a small photo graph of a gallows which he assert ed was erected at a point behind the lines in France, where many Ameri can boys were hanged for ’ offenses that would merit only nominal pun ishment in this country. He assailed the American Legion as a “band of officers gathered to gether for their own protection, knowing that the rank and file of American soldiers would take meas ures to repay them for their cruelty overseas.” Referring to Trammell bcott and Basil Stockbridge, leaders in the Anti-Watson-Hardwick cam paign of the legion, Mr. Watson ridi culed them mercilessly a nd called at tion to the fact that the lather of Mr. Stockbridge is a Republican. t Hits at President ‘Yes, boys, Basil’s father and Hen ry Lincoln Johnson are the two lead ing Republicans in the state of Geor gla.” shouted Mr. Watson. “This American Legion has got into politics. It has sent so much stuff to the Constitution that it filled up the paper and Clark Howell told them he couldn’t publish any more. So they started a paper of their own —the American Legion Post, and it is mighty funny reading. The Legion offers to get out of politics if Tom Watson and Tom Hardwick are elim inated in the primary of September 8. Well, if that’s what it takes to get the Legion out of politics, then the Legion will be in politics for some time to come.” Getting back to his discussion of the League of Nations, Mr. Watson predicted that if the covenant should be ratified by the United States, this country would be involved in a Euro pean war before Christmas. “Hoke Smith can’t be tied down on his position on the League of Na tions,” declared the speaker., “You can’t tell where he stands. He is slippery when it comes to pinning him down to facts. Wtiat we want in the senate is a man who will tell you where he stands and how he will vote.” “And let me tell you another thing. If I am elected to the senate, one of the first things I will do will be to introduce a x bill vacating the office of president at any time when the pres ident takes a bunch of men and fills up his crew with women and goes abroad on a junketing trip."

Watson, according to Hoke Smith headquarters. • In confirmation of this belief, the Smith managers point not only to the campaign methods of the gov ernor. but to scores of letters and telegrams from unbiased citizens in the counties that have been visited by Governor Dorsey on his cam paign tour of the state. Thei burden of these messages is to the effect that in practically ev ery county visited by Governor Dorsey the senatorial contest is a nip and tuck struggle between Smith and Watson. The governor is not a serious factor in so far as his own political fortunes are con cerned, and the only effect of hiii speeches has been to divide \ the forces that otherwise would concen trate upon Senator Smith and make certain the defeat of Mr. Watson. In other words, according to the advices received by Smith head quarters, the governor, here and there, has succeeded, and every where has sought to prevent his friends from combining on Sena tor Smith as the logical and only candidate likely to defeat Watson. Democrats Bally to Smith The '■knowledge that he is the minority candidate in a county has, it is said, served only to strengthen the governor’s insistence upon visit ing that particular county, and bring ing to bear upon his local followers his strongest influence to vote against Smith, even though it results in giv ing the county to Watson. In few, if any, of the counties visited by the governor has he act ually strengthened his own candi dacy, but occasionally his appeal has dissuaded some of his friends from supporting Smith as the only pos sible means of defeating Watson. Viewed in this selfish light, the cam paign tour of Governor Dorsey has not been wholly without success, de clares Smith headquarters. Viewed, however, in the light of developments all over the state, the governor’s campaign has rebounded to the unmistakable benefit of Sen ator Smith. It has, indeed, rallied to the standard of the senator thou sands of loyal citizens who other wise might have taken no interest in the senatorial campaign. These cit izens see through and understand the purpose of Governor Dorsey’s can didacy and recognize it as a flank attack upon Senator Smith —an at tack fraught with the possibility of success for Thomas E. Watson. “Os course, everyone realizes, first, that the governor’s visits solely to counties in which the race is a straightout Smith-Watson contest confirms the original belief that Dorsey’s candidacy was inspired chiefly hv hatred and a desire to de feat Smi’h.” said the senator’s head quarters Thursday morning. “In the second place, the Dorsey method of campaign has acted as a boomerang against his candidacy, and where he has succeeded in hold ing the uupport of a single friend he has alienated the support of hun dreds, iVhose love for the state cnd the Democratic party transcend® A CRITICAL ERA their personal friendship and admi ration for the governor. Dorsey Men Desperate "But the method of campaign be ing pursued by the Dorsey managers is significant as reflecting their des peration in the present race. It is evident that they are in despair over the collapse of the governor’s candi dacy and, in this extremity, no long er are seeking to camouflage their paramount desire to beat Smith at whatever cost.” But. as the Smith men point out, the collapse of the Dorsey candidacy and the expose of the real motives behind it .are proving a big factor in insuring the certain re-election of the senator. This is demonstrated by the character of the mail being received at Smith headquarters and from the lips of the ever-increasing number of visitors from all sections of the state who visit the campaign headquarters at the Piedmont hotel. The tide has turned unmistakably toward the senator, and every indi cation now points to his re-election. The current is running his way. Sen timent throughout the state is ris ing high. The Hoke Smith wave’is sweeping from the mountains to the sea. In no campaign since 1906 has there been so many cumulative evi dences of the zeal and intensity of the Smith followers. They are mil itant in every county in Georgia. They are encouraged by the prog ress, of the campaign. They view the outcome with confidence. They await the poll next Wednesday with pleasure.

MEN IN SUDMERGED SUBMARINE RESCUED FROM JM BED Several Southerners Among Rescued—War Prevented Loss of Officers • and Men PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 3.—Radio messages flashed from the army transport General Goethals to th« Philadelphia navy yard, via Capo May, told of the rescue early today of the officers and crew of the sub marine S-5 after they had spent nearly two days locked in the dis abled vessel beneath the Atlantis ocean, fifty-five miles south of Caps Henlopen. It was after 3 o’clock this morn ing when Lieutenant Commander Ct M. Cook, who exercised his preroga tive of being the last man to leavs his vessel, was taken aboard the steamship Atlanthus. Nine hours had elasped since the plight of the un- • dersea boat had been made public through a wireless call picked ufc by an amateur operator In Farm ington, Conn Andrew Jackson Nobles, of Jets iersonville, Ga., was a member <rt the crew rescued. There were other southerners. / The Atlanthus is proceeding slow ly with the S-5 in tow. It was a small buoy, a development of the world war, together with the vigilant eye of a lookout on the bridge of the transport General Goe thals, that gave the thirty men on the submerged submarine S-5 their chance for life. This small buoy, with a bell and buzzer device that oan be operated when the boat is submerged, is part of the equipment of all later type submarines. It was cast loose when the S-5 went down. The lookout on the General Goethals saw it, being attracted by its bell, as well as the fact that it was not noted on the chart. A small boat, with an officer in / command, was lowered from the / transport to investigate. When the buoy was reached the buzzer device could be heard. The officer cut into the connection and quickly there came this message: The submarine S-5 has been sub merged fofr thirty-five hours. Air is running short. Machinery is dam aged. Send for help.” This plea was sent broadcast, by the wire General Goethals. Among those who responded was the steamer Atlanthus, which, with the army transport, stood by the sub merged vessel and managed to at tach grappling hooks to its stern. Holding the submarine in a vertical position, a hole was bored through her plates and air pumped through to the suffering crew, who had al most given up all hope of rescue. In the meantime the call for help had been picked up by the navy wire less stations and by command of Sec retary Daniels destroyers were rushed to the rescue from Philadelhpia, Newport News and New York. Before all these vessels 'had had time to reach the scene, however, word was flashed that all the crew had been taken aboard the steamer Atlanthus. The wireless did not tell how the rescue had been effected, or what vessels besides the Atlanthus and General Goethals, if any, had assisted. It merely told that all wer® safe aboard the Alanthus. None had been injured, although all had suf fered for lack of air. It was 1 o'clock when the first man was taken off the submarine and more than two hours .ater before Lieutenant Com mander Cook left his vedsel.
