TWO
INSIDE OF 10 SECONDS SHOTS OF 7 BRIT
ISH CRUISERS SENT SUBMARINE
OF ENEMY TO THE BOTTOM.
London, 6:05 a. m.—The Scotsman today elates that the German sub
marine which sunk the British cruiser Pathfinder haa itself been sunk
On Wednesday last, according to the account, a part of the British fleet
on the lookout for German submarines became aware of the near pres
ence of one. The British vessels divided when the submarine appear
ed with only Its periscope showing.
With grim patience the British cruiser waited for the reappearance
of the submarine, which occurred In a dramatic fashion.
BUDDENLY APPEARED.
By some miscalculation, probain a final effort to escape the cruiser,
the submarine's conning lower and upper structure suddenly appeared
in the midM of the English vessels. The conning tower had hardly brok
en the surface of the water when the first British gun marked It. The
doomed vessel was within range of seven British cruisers and from every
one of them guns crashed out. In ten seconds seven shots entered the
frail shell of the submarine.
GERMAN GEN’L
STIFF IS
SILENT
Berlin, (vis Copenhagen and Lon
don, 6:30 a, m.) —The general staff
oontlnues silent regarding details of
the operatlone In Franco blit In re
sponae to a query today characterized
the general situation as "favorable."
A report which was In circulation
la parliamentary circles Inst night
that the operations had already re
sulted In a great victory found no
confirmation.
At Antwerp.
The Belgian army, which Is quite
surrounded, according to statements
hare, has been Httemptlng. through
repeated sorties from Antwerp to
play at least u pnrt In the war. (The
censor has here deleted further refer
ence to the operations around Ant
werp).
Reports come of small battles with
scattered French contingents In south
ern Alsace, near Thann, Gehweller
end Ruiz, but with the exception of
these there Is no news from the west.
Pushing Reinforcements.
The Germans presumably are push
ing reinforcements forward and the
announcementm that their armies with
a united front have resumed the of
fensive may perhaps be exacted In
two or three days.
Much probably depends on the rap
idity with which the army under the
crown princes completes the isolation
of Verdun, in order to he in a position
to resume major operations.

Paris, 8:45 ». m.—BtrateglHts find
considerable difficulty In forecasting
General von Kluck’s line of retreat.
Having passed the line of Compalgnn,
and Bolasnns where a defense had
been prepared It wm thought he could
not make a aland before the Meuse
was reached. Yesterday’s corn muni -
ratlona, however, created some bon
fuaton on this point, tha flrat saying
that the allies had crossed the Alsne
Jtlver and the second stating that the
Germans were trying to make a atand

Immense Danger
Nto doubt the line referred to In the
latter communication Is that from
Loon to ttolssons, which la the moat

The rlpld censorship leaves room
tor all aorta of hypotheala
Another confusion haa arisen re
garding the army of Crown Prince
Frederick William, reported operat

Would Seem Impossible.
The crown prince now Is said to
have evacuated Lorraine; but this
would seem Impossible for the army
In Argonne has not yet succeeded In
getting out and at last accounts was
In great danger of being In part, at
least, kept In. These troops are
threatened by both Verdun and
Rhelma and have only narrow and
difficult passages to get through.
Important developments for today
In this region are hinted at but the
war office keeps Its secrets well.

WANTS THE EMPIRE
CASE THROWN OUT
Atlanta, Ga.—The methods used by
certain hostile Interests represented
by certain lawyers were strikingly Il

missioner. and the complainant was
one Earl F. Candler, a policyholder In

ant had been dismissed by the su
perior court and the company upheld,
[ when the attorneys took the case ot
I Candler before the Insurance commis
sion The bearing was going on and
Candler was not present, though rep
resented by the said attorneys.
Then the Fmplre l.lfe insurance
Company threw Its bombshell It
produced an affidavit written and
signed by Candler, as follows:
"Believing that I have been, through
misrepresentation, used as a tool by
certain parties. 1 desire to make this
affidavit In order to rectify what I
sincerely believe to be an Injustice to
the Kmplre Use Insurance Company.
At no time have I ever had nor have
l now any grievance against the Em
pire I.lfe Company which will warrant
! any such proceedings, it Is my de
i *!re and I do hereby authorise the
said attorneys to have dismissed at
j once any and all proceedings brought
by the said attorneys who have so
misrepresented me. either before the
superior court or the Insurance com
mission.”
The Introduction of this paper
brought the hearing to a close Imme
diately. An adjournment was taken
until the next day. Representatives
of the company said they would ask
the commission to bear the case out
and render the company a clean MU
of health.

TODAY’S WAR CONDENSED
Germany's armies to the north and the east of Paris, after retreat
ing from upwards of 50 miles toward the Belgian frontier, are today
making a determined stand along the River Alsne.
A news agency dispatch from Dieppe says that General von Kluck
haa been enveloped by a French encircling movement and forced to
surrender with a large command and a quantity of guns and ammuni
tion.
The German general staff, however, announced today that heavy en
gagements were being fought by General von Kluck's right ring to
the northeast of Parts without a decisive result so far. The French at
tempts to break through the German lines were said to have been re

VICTORY IN
lINE
Curtis Defeats Haines For
Governorship. The Democrats
Also in Control of Legislature
——
Portland, Maine—The democratic vic
tory In Maine’s gubernatorial election
yesterday amounted to a plurality of
3,587, according to unofficial returns
from all but 37 of the 621 cities and
towns today. All four congressmen,
three republicans and one democrat
were re-elected.
Heavy Vote.
In a vote heavier than that cast at
the last presidential election both
Mayor Oakley C. Curtis of Portland,
the democratic candidate for governor
and Gov. Wm. T. Haines, republican,
defeated by Curtis for re-election, ran
well ahead of the Taft and Wilson
figures while the progressive vote cast
for Halbert P. Gardner, the head of
the ticket, showed a pronounced
slump from that cast for Roosevelt.
The comparative returns available
from 484 cities and towns give:
Haines, republican, 67,662; Taft, re
publican, 26,121.
Curtis, democrat, 61,249; Wilson,
democrat, 50,451.
Gardner, progressive, 17,443; Roose
velt, progressive, 47,904.
The Total.
The total vote at hand, 136,354, ex
ceeded that from the same places in
1912 by 11,878. The republicans show
ed an Increase of 31,641 against a pro
gressive loss of 30,461. The demo
cratic gain was 10,798.
Incomplete returns on the legislature
Indicate that on a Joint ballot the
democrats will have 74 votes, a gain
of nine, the republicans 7, a loss of
seven, and the progressives two, a
loss of one.
No material change was anticipated
from the complete returns.
THE INFANTRY
DECIDES BATTLE
While there have been many discus
sions as to the relative value of the
different branches of an army there
Is no doubt, according to a writer in
the special war number of the Scien
tific American of September sth, but
that it Is the infantry that wins bat
tles;
W 1 lie It ,s probable the success of
a battle will depend to a large extent
on the support of the field artillery.
It is certain that the principal and
most Important arm Is the infantrj,
which In practically every case must
decide the final issue. The cavalry
may be the first to be drawn Into a
battle, and the artillery may destroy
the enemy's artillery, but a battle is
never won un .1 the Infantry haa driven
back the enemy’s lines.
The usual mode of advancing for the
Infantry Is to deploy them in a line
with a long interval between each sol
dier. This, naturally. Is for the pur
pose of jffcrlng a smaller target for
the enemy. It makes lc more difficult,
however, for the leaders to keep as
good control over the men, and for
that reason one of the objects of field
artillery Is to make the enemy’s troops
Uepldy early.
The Infantry soldier is armed In all
the countries with a rifle and bayonet.
The rifle Is the weapon upon which
reliance Is placed, the bayonet being
used only as a last means, when in a
hand-to-hand encounter with the en
emy.
Enthusiasm Was

AGREE OUTCOME DEPENDS
ON RESULT OF BATTLES
CROWN PRINCE’S ARMY
While Critics of Both Sides Together on This Point,
Wide Divergence of Opinion as to Accomplished Facts.
Berlin Says One Thing, the Allies Another.
London, 10:15 a. m.—For once the
military critics of both sides agree
that the outcome of the campaign in
eastern France depends on the result
j of the operations of the crown prince’s
t army before Verdun; but on the ques
-1 tion of accomplished facts the diverg
ence of opinion is as wide' as ever.
Berlin maintains that the invest
ment of Verdun is now complete and
therefore expects that within two or
three days there will be a resump
tion of offensive along the whole
German front. On the other hand
the latest official communication Is
sued on behalf of the allies, states
that the crown prince has been driven
back and has moved his headquar
ters from Sainte Menehould, south of
Rheims, to Mont Faucon, about 15
miles northeast.
Admitted by Germans.
Berlin admits that the weakened
German right wing has been turned
back, but discounts the reverse by
maintaining that it will have no ef
fect on the general forward move
ment to be initiated when Verdun
falls.
The very candid statement of Gen
eral Joffro regarding the sort of war
fare his troops are capable of wag
ing indicates that the French are now
in a position to take up the gage of
battle on their own terms and in a
country of their own choosing. The
re-capture of Rheims probably means
more to the French army, so far as
morale is concerned than the rolling
up of the German left wing beyond
Verdun, so that the battle line on the
Aisne, already the scene of sanguin
ary fighting, Is today undoubtedly the
scene of a stubborn struggle of the
flrecest description.
Lost One-Third.
Petrograd reports that although
news of damage from General Brussl
lcffs army Is lacking and part of
Prof. Stewart Here—Prof. J. S.
Stewart, of the University of Georgia,
Athens, Ga., Is In Augusta Tuesday for
the purpose of passing on certificates

pleased over the prospects of the
coming session at the Medical College.
He made the statement that there
are even better things ahead for the
Medical College at Augusta, In vle-v
of Its splendid equipment now. “Four
years ago," said Prof. Stewart, “there

——- Notary Publlo Richmond Co.^Ga.
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER
General Ruzsky’s force still Is to be
heard from, it is estimated that the
Austrian forces have lost one-third
of their available personnel and two
thirds of their artillery. It is evi
dent that the Russian generals now
hope to bottle up the Austrians and
their German contingents in Przemysl
which is an Austrian Metz. No hope
is expressed for the early capture of
this fortress, but It is expected tnat
the remnants of the Austro-Hunga
rian forceswill be kept within its walls
until the end of the war.
Also Contradictory.
Reports of operations on the east
Prussian frontier are contradictory.
According to Petrograd, General Ren
nonkampf has resumed the offensive
after winning an engagement on the
border while the same Russian
sources report that the investment of
Konigsberg is continuing. On the
other hand Berlin states that Rennen
kampf’s defeat is almost as great as\
the preceding Russian disaster in this*
region.
Interest in the naval phase of the
war has been somewhat stirred by
the news from Berlin of the destruc
tion of the German light cruiser Hala
by a submarine and unofficial story
from a Scottish newspaper that the
loss of the British cruiser Pathfinder
has been avenged by the sinking of
her submarine antagonist.
Famine Possibilities.
Outside the zone of military opera
tions chief interest centers In the er
forts of the German, Dutch and
French governments to forestall the
possibility of famine among their
peoples by regulating the use of cer
tain staples. The regulations not
only forbid the use of more than a
certain amount of these staples for
purposes other than for food, but In
struct the people In the most econo
mical way to use them.
