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. RETREAT IF IION KLUGK HU TO FORECAST 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 on the Alsne Immense Danger Nto doubt the line referred to In the latter communication Is that from Loon to ttolssons, which la the moat favorable position fyr a rally this aide of the Meuee. A halt there, how ever. la accompanied by Immense dan ger from a flanking movement. 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 ing In the Forest of Argonne. 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. NOT COMMITTED TO FREIGHT TUX Washington.—Senate republican* at a conference today, determine*! to fight any war revenue measure In any form. Chairman I'nderwood of the ways amt means committee, yielded to pro testa of democrats against the tax on freight, and agreed to let the caucus tonight decide. The president. Mr. t'nderwood said, was not committed to a freight tax and would not Insist upon It. Home democrats, like the republi cans. are oppose*! to any war tax. The conference of republican senators appointed a committee to take charge of the opposition and notify absentees to return at once. WARM AND DRY COTTON WEATHER Washington. "Warm and dry wsather over the greater pan .if the cotton belt." says the weather bureau weekly review today, "favored the opening and picking of cotton which is reported as progressing favorably In nearly all portions. In Texsa. es pecially the crop continues to Improve upder the favorable weather, with prospects of a good top crop tn ad dition." 35 TO 45 DN R’Y DROWNED OR ' KILLED Bpringfield—Between thirty five and forty five persons were killed or drowned and a score of others In jured early today when the locomo tive, baggage car and forward chair car of Ht. l-oills and Han Francisco train No. 6 plunged through a trestle over Brush Creek, near Lebanon, Mo., and were submerged by the swollen stream. 1 Most of the dead were drowned in the chair car and a great proportion of these were women and children. Those who were able to escape from their watery prison fought their way out tiy breaking windows and swim ming to shore. It Is estimated that there were sixty five passengers In the chair car. Owing to poor comunlcatlon it 1s Impossible to give a definite estimate of how many escaped. None of the sleeping cars left the track and the pasengers In these quickly formed rescue parties. one tnan In the chair car lost his wife and five children. When the ac cident occurred he was thrown clear of the car and swam to shore. His wife and children died while ho stood helplessly nearby. CABINETSEES SIGNING OF 4 PEACE PACTS Washington.—ln the presence of the cabinet, Secretary Bryan today elgned peace treaties with the diplomatic representatives of Great Britain, France, Hpuln and China. These treaties bind each of the countries and the United States to submit to Investigation by Internation al commiseton for a period of at least a year, all questions which cannot he settled diplomatically. Lhiring the period of Investigation hostilities can not be opened. There were also present at the Signing Mrs Bryan and the assistant secretaries of state. With the sign ing of the treaties today Secretary Bryan’s peace pnets number 26, of which 19 already have been ratified by the senate. Germany, fluents, and Japnn have accepted the Investigation proposal In principle. WANTS THE EMPIRE CASE THROWN OUT Atlanta, Ga.—The methods used by certain hostile Interests represented by certain lawyers were strikingly Il lustrated In Atlanta this week when a veritable bombshell was thrown Into a case by the Kmplre Life Insurance Company. The bearing was on be fore the newly-created commission composed of the governor th*> attor ney-general and the Insurance com missioner. and the complainant was one Earl F. Candler, a policyholder In the company. A former suit by another complain 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. MARYLAND PRIMARY.

'They fied ' lie declares, 'aa animals flee who are cornered and know It. Imagine a roadway littered with guns, knapsacks, cartridge belta Maxims and heavy cannon. tnere were miles and miles of It and the dead, those plies of horses and those stacks of men. I have seen It again and again, men shot so close lo Oil* another that they remained standing after death. Ths sight Is terri ble and horrible beyond words.' " 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 pulsed. Reports regarding the operations in East Prussia contradict each other. From Petrograd It Is said that General Rennenkampf has re sumed the offensive and that the Investment of Koenlgsberg still Is In progress. Berlin advices, however, are to the effect taht the Russian general has suffered defeat, nearly are to the effect that the Russian aster at Allensteln.

A measure was Introduced In the British parliament today suspend ing until after the war the proceedings on the Irish Home Rule and the Welsh disestablishment bills. Queen Wllhelmlna, opening parliament In pereon, emphasised the ne cessity of the Netherlands maintaining the strictest neutrality in the war. Says American Minister at Brussels Corner ed the Cattle Market. Rotterdam, (vie London, 3:02 a, m.) —A special to The Rotter dameche Courxnt, announces that ths Col. von Reuter, widely known through the part he played In the Zaberti affair, was recently killed In action.

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 Tremendous as Bulletin Read London, 10:30 a. m.—A Petrograd des patch to the Central News describes a scene of tremendous enthusiasm on the first night of the Imperial grand opera season when a bulletin describing the destruction of the Austrian army be tween the Rivers Bug and Dniester was rend In the middle of the performance. The Russian hy.-nn was sung over and over again nnd the national anthems of the allies also were sung while the am bassadors and other diplomatic represen tatives of those countries bowed from their boxes. Tumultous demonstrations took place In the streets, the crowds almost fight ing to buy the newspapers. CHAMPION COTTON PICKERS. Atlanta, Ga. —Wesley and Hawes Drlnkard, of Wilkes county are claim ing the Georgia cotton-picking cham pionship this season. Wesley Is 17 and his brother 15, and last season they picked between them Just 1.042 pounds pounds of line cotton In one day. They are challenging all comers to pick against them this year, and Wilkes county folks think the two boys will beat anybody who competes with them.

S 16 11 22 21 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 of students contemplating entering the Medical College and for holding ex aminations. Prof. Stewart Is highly 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 were but three class A medical col leges In the country;now there nine. This Is an evidence that medical ed ucation is advancing." FOR RED CROSS FUND. Washington—The Red Cross today appealed to all religious denomina tions throughout the country to con tribute to the European relief fund In houses of worship Sunday, October 4, set apart by President Wilson for special prayers. The Red Cross also Is planning to observe Red Cross flag day by sale of flags throughout the country the proceeds to be used for, hospttal work in Europe.

B. REESE. ——- 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. MR. H. G.
