Agricultural Association.

The annual meeting OF the Obion
County Agricultural Improvement As
ISOLATION was held as scheduled on Mon
day at D. m. at the courthouse. The
officers OF last year were reelected with
out change.
A brief summary Of the work OF last
year and the purpose of the association
in the future was given by President
George Dahkne. He stated that the
plans which were formulated for the
past year had been accomplished by
laying carefully and thoughtfully well
founded basis upon which can be built
the work of permanent soil improve
menc. There have been no radical
changes made and the association has
no glaring figures to report, but it is be-
lieved that the changes which have been
made and the method which it is now
openly and positively advocating are
absolutely unassailable in the light of
practical permanent system of agricula
ture.
These recommendation were placed
before the meeting by ]. G. McAmis in
a plain direct manner. He stated in no
uncertain terms that there was no long
err any question about the practicability,
under proper conditions, of reducing
the acreage of corn by substituting for
it, soy beans, alfalfa, barley and winter
oats; of increasing the yield and stands
of red clover by lining, of increasing
the profit from livestock by productive
winter pastures of crimson clover and
rye, oats, rape and Canada peas, wheat
vetch, etc.
There is no longer any doubt that
many OF these simple things can and
must be done il we are to live up to our
opportunities. 1t only remains now for
them to be put into general use. With
this in view, number of farmers
to do many Of these things on
a small scale and report results at a
future meeting.
An auditing committee was appoint
ed, which gave report at the meeting

citation.

NEW YORK, Sept. IA circum-
stantial story of the sinking of the
North German Lloyd liner Kronprinz
Wilhelm sby the British cruiser Lam
caster, brought into this port by Pilot
Mccarthy, aboard the Norwegian
freight steamer Hermod, was proved
today to be untrue. Mccarthy said
that the story had been told to him
by Pilot Nichols, who yesterday
boarded the warship off Ambrose
channel lightship. Nichols admitted
to newspaper men this afternoon that
he had told such story to Mccarthy
and several persons. He confessed
that he had been romancing.
There Is not one word of truth in
the story" said Pilot Nichols. 1T is
perfectly true that | boarded a Brit
ish cruiser yesterday and gave the
men on board some newspapers. AS

the name of the cruiser. 1t might
have been the Lancaster and it might
have been some other warship. l got

informed that the Lancaster had met
and sunk the kronprinz Wilhelm. L
also said that because | did not wish
to appear inquisitive / did not ask the

When Pilot Mccarthy was seen
later in the day and asked for de-
tails of his alleged conversation with
Nichols he denied that he had said
anything of the kind.

BY J. W. T. MASON
OF the United Press.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE move
ment of the allies to envelop General
Won Kluck's hitherto irrepressible
right wing is again developing
strength. A French and British force
is moving eastward along the Somme
river, which apparently is to serve as
the northern wall to cut off the Ger
man right.
For this movement to succeed the
German front between Laon and
Rheims must be pierced, in order to
separate Won Kluck from the rest of
the, kaiser's forces. The frequent
mention of desperate encounters to
secure passages of the Aisne east of
Soissons is the key to this part of the
encrcnng strategy.
Once the roads on the German side
of the Aisne-north side-are held by
the allies in this district, Won Kluck's
position will become precarious.
If the allies break through here
and if their movement along the
Somme emerges simultaneously to the
north of the German right, a situation
unique in military. annals may oc-
cur. Won Kluck's lines of retreat
northward and eastward will be cut,
and if his army cannot cut it's way
through it will be compelled to take
refuge in the French Notifications at
La Ere and Laon, which the allies de-

TO WAR FOR TRADE
White Books Show How Eng
land Is Making Campaign for
World Commerce.

NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-Reports
were received in New York city yes
terday indicating that the United
States will have to reckon with Eng
land commercially as it starts out to
capture the trade of the outside world
demoralized by the war. England
herself is starting big foreign trade
crusade and announces very frankly
that she is out to get the foreign
business which she has made Ger
many drop, not only in Europe, Asia
and Africa, but in South America as
we'll
Great Britain is going about the
campaign very deliberately and sye-
tematically. The intelligence depart
ment of the Board OF Trade is not
only issuing white books" to every
industry, telling them where Ger
many had trade, how she got Ii and
how she kept II, but they are sending
their agents out to those countries as
well. The men from the United States
who are planning to descend upon
South American ports will, In all
likelihood, find their British rivals
there before them.
An extract from the white books
now being issued by the Board Of
Trade will show how the British are
going about It:
THE following information has been
received from his majesty's consul at
Alexandria:
IF the cotton crop is successfully
financed the conditions and prospects
of trade will be favorable. The United
Kingdom should secure large pro-
portion of the German empires very

manufactures of good quality. such as
machinery, especially artesian we'll

files, bolts, etc, and in textiles imitat-
ing popular patterns. Successful
competition is improbable in inferior
cheap and nasty goods, such as
crockery, pewter, ironmongery, no
siery and haberdashery. Our serious
difficulty is that long credit (six or
twelve months) is indispensable, as
fellaheen pay only by instalments.'

DESCRIBES HOW
GERMAN CRUISER
HELA WAS SUNK
One of Crew of Submarine E-o
Says Two Torpedoes Were
Launched.
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, Sept. II e. a. m.)-The
Harwlch correspondent of the Daily
Telegraph sends this story of how
the German cruiser Hela was de-
stroyed, as told by one of the crew OF
submarine C-9:
In the early hours of Sunday
morning two or three British sub
marines were stalking the Hela about
six miles off the German coast. The
wind was freshening and the sea was
beginning to get rougher. The E-9
came to the surface at $3.50 O'Clock
and sighted the enemy. which was
seen TO be in range.
With all possible speed the E.9
dived and at suitable depth
launched two torpedoes at intervals
of fifteen seconds. Whether both
struck is not definitely known, but
one of them certainly was effective,
as the explosion followed.
The Ed remained below about a
quarter of an hour and then came to
the surface briefly for a survey, which
showed the Hela listing badly. There
We're other German ships in the
vicinity. but none were active fight
ing units.
1.-THE submarine prudently dived
again at once. After an interval,
something over quarter of an hour,
it came to the surface again, but the
Hela had disappeared.
The submarine got aawy safely.
but was unable to make a report of
her achievement to the admiralty
until today, when she first got within
her wireless range. The submarine
crew say their boat was never seen
by the enemy, either before or after
the blow was struck.

EMBASSY OF j. 5.
At LONDON TAKES
BIGGER QUARTERS
Relief Workers Believe Most
Americans Now Out of
War Zone.

LONDON, Sept. 17.-Walter Hines
Page win move the offices of the
American embassy next week to
Grosvenor square, in which neighbour
hood are located the Spanish and Bra
lillian embassies and the Danish and
Belgian legations. He is renting the
building formerly used by the Japa-
reese embassy. IL contains forty rooms
and is well suited for embassy use.
The landlord increased the rent of the
old offices at 1913 Victoria street, while
the new offices are more commodious,
in a better neighborhood. and offered
at reasonable rate.
The offices being used at present by
the American embassy will be taken
over temporarily by the American
Residents Relief Committee and by
the American Money Transfer Com
mission, which organizations will
combine their work and surrender
their quarters at the Savoy Hotel
Henry s. Breckenridge. the Ameri-
can assistant secretary of war, is UNI
certain as to how long the Ameri-
can army officers will be held in
London directing the relief work. He
thinks the American tourists are now
well out of Europe. excepting those
III the I6luOlt StttlOilS VI TIC Goll-
tinent.
Herbert C. Hoover, chairman of the
American residents relief committee,
and other prominent workers in this
field, believe that many German
American and American tourists now
in Germany will leave the country
when the actual war news reaches
them.
Tourists coming from Germany say
that virtually all the news printed
there is favorable to the German
army and that visitors have no
knowledge of the Russian or the
allies successes.
Many Americans also are staying
in France who contemplated leaving
when the Germans were near Paris
and who probably would rush to
England If the allies were repulsed.
The relief committee workers, the
army officers and the diplomatic and
consular offices, however. feel that in
view of the warning that had been
given to Americans on the continent
the American government should not
be expected to maintain a large re-
lief body for tourists who disregard
ed the advice of the United States
war and state departments.
