Three In Attacking Party.

From the conflicting accounts given
by the survivors here it seems that
there were three German submarines in
the attacking party. All hands agree
that the Cressy was bravely firing her
guns as she sank at two of the German
submarines and these are reported to
have been sent to the bottom As the
Flora was getting ready to steal away
with the rescued sailors some British
destroyers appeared In sight
The sailors, far from being d1scour-
aged at the mishap. express the con-
viction that Admiral Jellicoe Will now
teach the Germans a lesson, and that
the ships of the line when they come
into action will amply avenge the de-
struction OF the cruisers.
A special word of praise Is due to
Capt. Voorharn Of the Flora, who. with
only eighteen men in his crew, carried
out the work of rescue with the great
est skill. Owing to the roughness OF
the sea the task of taking on board
men stiff with the cold was extremely
difficult, and many of them had to be
handed up by means of ropes. The
Dutch crew attended to their wants
with the greatest kindness and freely
gave them clothes from their meager
store.
1t is understood the British sailors
will leave tomorrow for a place where
they must remain for the duration OF
the war. -

fare, which caused much controversy,
seems likely to be vindicated. ';s..
The Globes naval expert, dealing with
the sinking of the three cruisers by sub
marines, says:
Our fleet is necessarily exposed to
these dangers. It has to wait upon the
pleasure Of the enemy. 1t dare not wait
too far away, because the North sea is
small and could be quickly traversed by
hostile fleets. The risks must be run
and we need not fear that our men will
shrink before them. Nevertheless, death
dealt by an unseen hand is the most
detestable of all.
This disaster will rouse the British
fleet to action as nothing else could have
done, and the success Of this submarine
attack may yet prove the death knell
Of the German navy"

No other ships were In sight at the

table diplomatic Gordian knot will
confront President Wilson when on
Tuesday night at ball following the
diplomatic reception at the white house
he will be compelled to issue defn-

Many of the reigning sovereigns
whose ambassadors and ministers here
will attend this function have de
nounced the tango in no uncertain
terms, while others have declared it
very charming" To determine wheth-
er or not the dance shall be allowed
in the executive mansion is the prob

had thrust upon him, and is one which
undoubtedly will be the subject nj
much controversy among the Wilson
family, whose views on this subject, it
is said diverge almost as widely as

CAPT. JOHN C. CALHOUN SAYS
COLLEGE WILL RECEIVE LARGE
DONATION IF INSTITUTION Is
CALLED CALHOUN COLLEGE.
Would Put College
Under State Control
Would Name College After Famous
South Carolina Statesman, John C..
Calhoun.

Anderson, S. c., Jan. 12.-That
Clemson College would receive endow-
ments aggregating many millions of
dollars if the name of the institution
were changed to Calhoun College, and
the college placed wholly under the
control of the state of South Carolina,
was the statement made tonight By
Capt. John c. Calhoun, grandson OF
the South Carolina statesman, and
oldest representative of the Calhoun
family, who is visiting friends here.
He said that such an arrangement
could be brought about by an annul-
ment of the contract of the state ac-
cepting the Clemson bequest by which
the Fort Hill property would revert to
Mrs. Floride Lee Calhoun, wife of An
drew Pickens Calhoun, of San Antonio
Texas, the lawful heir of the late
Thomas G. Clemson; that she would
deed the property back to the state OF
South Carolina for the sum of money
sufficient to make the transfer legal
He stated that money would be no OBJ
ject with Mrs. Calhoun, the heir; that
she, and all the family connection,
would like to see the change of name
and control purely for sentiments
sake, and the institutions good. Can
tain Calhoun, who retired from active
business some time ago, and who has
since lived in London and New York,
says that he has known of several in
stances where the college would have
received large endowments but for the
fact that the college bore the name of
another than John C. Calhoun, al
though it was situated on the Calhoun
home place. and because the college
was controlled by set of trustees rep
ing an individual, and not the state.
He is closely associated with the
philanthropists of the East, who are
giving large sums for education, and
while he personally is giving to the
education, of poor children in the
mountains of the Carolinas, he knows
that Clemson College would come in
for large share of the endowments.
Captain Calhoun states that he is
here merely to visit his old home; that
he does not care to stir up any big ag-
itation for the change of name and
government OF the college, but makes
these statements knowing that the col
lege and South Carolina would lie
greatly benefited thereby.

MRS. SLAT0N MAKES
A HIT WITH HER
SHORTER HOUR PLAN

Atlanta, Jan. 12.-Mrs. John Mar
shall Slaton, wife of the governor, this
morning received letters and kilograms
from all parts of the state congratulate
ing her upon the stand she has taken
advocating shorter working hours for
grocery and meat clerks in Atlanta
and other Georgia cities and towns
Mrs. Slaton is so much interested in
the proposed improvement that she is
endeavoring to get other Atlanta
housekeepers to join with her in pur-
chasing their provisions during the
mornings, so as to tighten the after
noon burden. Mrs. w L. Peel and
other social leaders have added the
weight of their influence to Mrs. Sla-
tons appeal
Similar movements will be under
taken, it is said, by women prominent
in other communities in the state.

For instance, Maurice Maeterlinck
the famous poet-dTamatist and author
OF the Blue Bird, Il commenting on
the tango, says that it is "ungraceful
aid silly" while Rodin, the sculptor,
admires it for its artistic poses. :"
Kaiser Wilhelm has taken firm stand
ard admonishes the debonair officers
Of the German army that if they are
not careful they will tango themselves
out of his majesty's service. The
Duchess of Devonshire goes the kali

as the dance of moral death" On the
other hand, King Alfonso is said to be
one of its chief opponents, and is
himself a proficient performer.
Banned by the Pope.
Finally the pope, through several Of
his cardinals, conspicuously Cardinal
Lee Annette, of Paris, has put his ban

says
I'VE condemn the dance imported

Constitutionalist circles in Washing.
ton are intimating that Carranza will
soon agree to send delegates to confer
with Huerta's representatives on the
question of a provisional Government
in Mexico.
The peace compact between Gen.
Carranza and Gen. Villa having been
arranged, the high chiefs of the Con-
s~titutionalist party ait Torreon are
settling the plans for the campaign in
the south.
Between the claims and counter
claims of Villa and Carranza sup
porters the matter lifted down to the
fact that there will be peace be-
tween Carranza and Villa and that
the war against Huerta will be
pressed.
As the result of the s~o-called cleo
ton for President held in the limited
territory controlled by the Federal
forces, it is believed the way has been
smoothed for the more or less grace
full effacement of General Victoriano
Huerta.

LAW AFFECTS 7,4so OFFICERS.
New Legislation Removes Election
Officials From Civil
Service Rules.

Much discussion has followed the
disclosure of the fact that the last
Legislature took from the protection
OF the Civil Service the election Of
ficers in all Of the election districts
OF the State, and allow the return to
the old boss system" under which
the officers were selected in the past,
not by competitive examination, but
for party zeal. Seven thousand, four
hundred and eighty such officers are
affected. 1t is believed that there
is a total ignorance among them as
to the effect of the new legislation.
They are under the impression that
they are protected by the Geran Civil
Service law.
The law covering election officers
in regard to Civil Service was passed
ostensibly to exempt from Civil Serv-
ice the selection of assistant prosecu-
tors, but it contained a clause to
which attention was called when it
was passing the House of Assembly.
With the exception of Assemblyman
Scoval, of Camden, all of the House
members voted against the bill, which
later became a law. Then the bill
was lost sight of. 1t reached the
hands of Governor Fielder" and was
signed.
Now, the question has arisen as to
why the Civil Service Commission
held an examination for election Off
GERS very recently, when the law
destroyed the election department Of
that body according to the opinion of
lawyers and others who have closely
perused Chapter 81 of the laws Of
1914. 1t is understood that the com
missioners had not asked an opinion
from the attorney generals depart
ment.
Only a few days ago the controllers
department questioned several bills
of the election department of the Civil
Service Commission, but the issue is
still open.

HUERTA'S TROOPS
ARE IN MUTINY
Gen. Funston Reports FederaIs
Fighting Among Selves
.. S. FORCES NOT TO ACT
A Representative of the Constitutions
allst Junta Asked Permission to
Pass through Funston's Lines
to DIRECT the Mutiny."

Washington.-Oficial reports to the
Wal Department say Huerta's troops
are fighting fercely among themselves
near Vera Cruz.
A large part of the army has mu-
tinted, and the troops who remained
loyal to the Dictator are trying to
force the m~alcontents into subsection.
Officials here see grave danger for
Huerta through the mutiny cutting off
his means for an exit from Mexico
City.
His early departure is assured in
Administration circles, but if the mu-
tineers triumph in their present up
rising it is pointed out that Huerta
and his followers could scarcely ex-
pect safe conduct to the Gulf coast
through the enemy's lines.
The mutiny is believed by Constitu-
tionalist agents in Washington to mark
the beginning Of a general revolt on
the part of the Mexican Federal sol
diers.
General Funston has ordered the
American soldiers to act only on the
defensive in case the American out
posts guarding the water works
should be attacked.
A cable message from Funston to
Secretary of War Garrison, received
at the War Department, said that
the Federal commander had sem word
through the American lines that a
part of his force had mutinied and
that they might attack the American
outposts.
Funston's defensive orders then
were issued.
Another dispatch, which came from
Funston, said that a representative OF
the Constituencies Junta in Vera
Cruz, asked for passes for himself
and others to go out and direct the
mutiny.
The request was denied by the Cen
era1, who added that no attacks on
the American outposts had occurred.
