(BU Associated PreSS,)
SS0cidted PreSS.)

Berlin, Aug. 4.-Germany's recently
completed battleship cruiser Seydlitz
has developed S9,73S propeller horse
power on it's official trials. This is
the highest horsepower developed by
any battleship with turbines in the
world. The Seydlitz registered an av-
erage speed exceeding 2S knots per
hour, which gives her rank with the
armored cruisers Moltke and Goeben
The day of the turbine cruiser of 100,'
900 horsepower appears not far off, for
Germany has thus far increased the
horsepower of such vessels with every
successive one. The Won der Tam
the first, had 7s,SO2, and the figure has
risen steadily.

London, Aug. 1--WE expect the
British Government will Immediately

til the war ends" said Godfrey
Isaacs, Chairman of the Marconi
Company today. Our station in Ger

by the German Government, but it
has not the same power as the British

Asked by The World correspondent
whether he thought Russia would
make as poor showing as in the war
with Japan, Mr.. Isaacs answered:
If the Russian army has developed
as much in other ways as she has in
aeroplaning, Germany will have her
work cut out. Russia has as many
aeroplanes as Germany and Austria
together and they are the biggest and
most effective machines in existence

LOCAL MANUFACTURERS SEE
SILVER LINING TO CLOUD
Forchheimer, Standard And Philip
Adams, Cancel all Orders and Pre-
pare to Close Offices-3o Per Cent
OF Lumber Is Export and Will be
Drug on Market.

The war scare has shattered the
bright prospects of the lumber market
of two weeks ago, but the Hattiesburg
manufacturers and dealers think they
can see a silver lining to the war
cloud. This is in spite of the an
nouncement that the export trade is
already dead and that most of the
export firms have given notice to
their employees that the offices will
be closed after the middle of the
month.
The lumbermen here think that the
interior market sfn a few weeks will
be somewhat stimulated by the war
and by the high prices and by the
bumper wheat crop of the middle
west.
1t has been stated that 30 per cent
OF the lumber production of Missis-
sippi, Louisiana and Texas is from the
export mills and it was thought for a
time that their product shut off from
the foreign markets would be turned
into the interior market to run the
prices down, but as most of the ex-
port mills have closed down or will
do so at once the production of export
lumber will cease. The local lumber
men say that the export lumbermen
will not make any attempt to COM
pete with them in the interior market
because they are not prepared to do
so and overproduction and a surplus
will be offset by other things.
Banks In Splendid Condition.
In spite of the uncertain condition
of the markets in general the local
lumbermen continue to receive orders
from the interior. The orders have
held up without any appreciable effect
of the war so far. The railroads are
still handling the lumber out of Hat.
tiesburg without any car shortage in
sight in spite of the heavy movement
of wheat.
The local banks were never In any
better condition and are not in the
least alarmed over the situation. The
precautionary measures adopted in the
cities will never be necessary here,
they say. One bank yesterday report.
ed that it had more cash on hand than
ever before in the history of the insti.
tuition and that more was coming in
every day.
Rate Increase Helpful.
The long hoped for rate increase OF
5 per cent was granted the railroads
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion on Saturday, which means an
increase of $1O,OOO,OOO to the incomes
of the railroads.
The local lumbermen have beer
waiting for the decision for severa
months, confident that it will NEAR
that the railroads will get back into
the lumber market to buy equipment
and car materials. Several of tn,
largest railroad lines have been out o
the market for more than a year, pend
ing the favorable action of the Com
merce Commission. 1t will now b,
necessary for them to buy large guam

The wheat crop alone, said one lum
herman today, will Offset the depres

Miss Nellie Carpenter of Mystic. a teacher in the Chestnut Hill district of the town of Columbia, is the defendant in an alleged assault suit for $1,000 brought by one of her pupils, Helen Gantic. through her father. Peter Gantic, of Lebanon. Papers have been served on a body attachment writ and the bond was furnished by Allison L. F'rink. of Columbia.
 The complaint alleges that Miss Carpenter pulled a large quantity of hair from the plaintiffs head. and 1t is stated that because of this assault, the date. of which is said to have been March 25, the girl has been sick and unable to attend school.
 Miss Carpenter has no statement to make on the case at the present time. She is a graduate of the Willimantic Normal school in the class of 1913. Principal Henry T. Burr stated that Miss Carpenter had never shown any disposition to treat children in a se- were manner while here
 The case is said to be another where the parents resent physical punish ment Since this method of training recalcitrant children has gone out of force in many places, any attempt to restrain children by it's means has as a general rule led to more or less un- pleasantnesS.
