success Due to Speed Of 27 Knots.

London. Oct. 24.-The news of the
Karlsrure's exploit, In sinking thirteen
British merchantmen, according to the
Daily Mails correspondent, was
brought to that port by the German
steamer Crefeld, which arrived there
with the crews Of the British steamers
Strathrow, Maple Branch, Highland
Hope, Indrani, Rio Iguasua, Fran,
Niceto, Maria de Larrinaga, Cervantes.
Cornish City, Pruth, Conder and Lynro-
wan, all of which were sunk by the
Karlsruhe. The Crefeld was accom-.
panied into port by the German steam
ers Patagonia, lilo Negro and Asun-
cion.
A later message states that over 400
men of the crews are prisoners and
that the merchantmen were mostly
sunk in the Atlantic. The ships were
mostly engaged in the South American
trade and their total tonnage is about
go 900.
The cruiser Karlsruhe, ship of a
trifle less than 5000 tons, has had in
this war a career as eventful in the
Atlantic as that of her smaller sister
ship, the Emden, in the Indian Ocean
A Spectacular Career.
The Karlsruhe first came into notice
at the outbreak of the war when she
appeared in the vicinity of Sandy
Hook, apparently in wait for British
Merchantmen leaving New York. Fol
a few days the British shipping hug
ged their piers and then came news
that the Karlsruhe had been driver
away by the approach of several Brit
ish cruisers.
On August the Karlsruhe appeared
in the harbor of San Juan, Porto Rico
where she coaled and then again tool
to the seas. Soon after it was learned
that the Karlsruhe had been in a sen
sational running fight at sea with thu
British cruisers Suffolk and Bristol.

cruisers engaged in a running fight
while the Kronzprinz Wilwelm
through her speed, easily escaped. Th
Karlsruhe also eluded her pursuers
and an unconfirmed report had it tha

Since then the Karlsruhe has appear
ed in several West Indian ports TO
coal after preying in various southern
seas on British commerce. An officia
statement, given out in Berlin on Oo
tober 8, said she had sunk seven Brit
ish steamers in the Atlantic.
The Karlsruhe is a comparativel
new ship, having gone into commission
early in 1913. She is very fast, havin
a speed Of 81 knots and this has er
abled her thus far to elude successful
ly the persistent British pursuit. He

.2 ununity American Flag Supposed to
Give--Jehn .. Rockefeller Case =
Professionalism Registry Law Un.
dersoine a Severe Test-74 Foreign
Built Ships in Question.

Washington, Oct. 24.-Further COM
plications are threatened with Great
Britain over the activities of her cruis-
ers and warships in seizing merchant
vessels flying the American flag.
With the Brindilla incident still
fresh as a source of irritation to this
Government, the State Department
has filed formal protest with Great
Britain against the seizure several
days ago of the American steamer
John d. Rockefeller off the Orkney
Islands.
Although the Brindilla case rests
upon the apparent refusal of Great
Britain to recognize as legitimate the
transfer to American registry since
the war started of vessels formerly
registered under the American flag,
the John d. Rockefeller case goes
even farther in emphasizing an appar-
ent disposition of Great Britain to ig-
more altogether the immunity which
the American flag is commonly sup
posed to give to American vessels.
The John d. Rockefeller was never
under any other registry than Amerk
can.
Waiting For The Lancaster.
In the meantime, unofficial informa'
ton has come to Washington to the
effect that the British cruiser Caronia
which captured the Brindilla, is now
lying off the Delaware Capes, outside
the three-mile limit, waiting to seize
the steamer Lancaster, now being
loaded with provisions at Philadelphia
The whole question of what Great
Britain is now doing with respect to
American shipping dates back to the
war of 1912, which was fought out for
the purpose of establishing the right
Of American seamen from being taken
off American vessels by Great Britain
when that country happened to be al
war with other nations. While there
is at present no attempt on the part OF
Great Britain to operate along those
lines, here repeated violations of what
the State Department regards to be
the rights of American shippers are
growing more and more aggravating.
Acting Secretary of State Lansing
had long conference with the Presi
dent on the subject, and while he re
fused to state what had transpired a
the conference, it understood that the
State Department will follow up its
protest on the John d. Rockefeller case
with a formal protest regarding the
steamer Brindilla. The department
has already assured itself that the
Brindilla, in transferring to American

INSPECTION OF MILK SUPPLY
ONE OF IMPORTANT DUTIES
MIX Committee OF Commercial Club
And City Commissioners Agree on
Proposition Which They viii Pre-.
sent to Board Of Supervisors Jointly
Want County Cooperation.

WANTED Competent Health Off
Ger, to devote time exclusively to San.
itation Of Forrest County and the city
OF Hattiesburg. Must be capable of
making thorough bacteriological milk
tests and dairy inspections. Salary
($1,SOO."
\ This advertisement or one similar
will be inserted in the daily papers
next month, if the proposition which
will be submitted to the County Board
of Supervisors, when they meet here
E November ,, receives their ap-
proyal.
The proposition is the net result of
the conference between the Pure Milk
committee Of the Commercial Club and
the City Commission yesterday. Brief
ly the proposition is that the city will
agree to pay one-third of the salary of
a competent health officer to devote
his time exclusively to the sanitation
of Forrest county and the city of Hat
tiesbure il the county board will pay
the remainder.
Commissioners Agree.
The City Commissioners quickly
grasped the significance of the request
made by the Pure Milk committee for
adequate inspection of the milk sup
ply and their support of the movement
was assured from the first.
Since the inception of the idea at a
recent meeting of the Commercial
Club it has grown to include not only
the inspection of the milk supply, but
also the sanitation of the entire coun-
ty as well as of the city. In order to
have the proper examination and in
spection of The milk it would be neces-
sary to have a man with the equip
ment and training and time which the
present health officer has not. The
milk INSPECTOR must also be bacterl-
ologist in order to test the milk tor
disease Germs. Since the inspection
requires a specialist to devote a large
amount OF time the additional idea
was conceived to have the same man
look after the county sanitation since
the two are closely related, 1t was
decided in the conference to combine
the two and to offer a salary when
would justify a competent man to de-
vote his entire time to the work The
salary suggested was $1,000.
One Third is City's Share.
The city officials have promised to
mt nm one.third that amount If the
COUNTY will guarantee the balance
At was agreed that owing to the fact
)hat Hattiesburg pays so per cent Oh
the taxes of the county and would not
receive more than half of the time
of the health officer that one'thlrd
of the expense would be the correct
nronortion for the city to pay.
The agreement on the proposition IN
the conference was unanimous and the
sanction of the Board of Supervisors
,s the only thing lacking to put For
rest county in the place where it BE-
longs with regards to care for the pup
lie health.
