ENGINEERS JOB
NOT AN EASY One
(By Associated Press)

CHICAGO, Dec. 15.-Hardships in
locomotive cabs were described to-
day by engineers testifying before the
federal arbitration board here of the
wage demands of western railroad en-
CINE crews. Three switch engineers
told of working thirteen or forteen
hours and "helper" engineer told of
averaging eleven hours.
James H. Shean, attorney for the
roads, said that under the seniority
rule the witnesses chose their own
runs, and that they were we'll paid in
comparison with other industrial
workers.
John c. Goulding, a switch engi-
neer of Chicago, said he earned about
$40 a month by working the equiva-
lent of 80 eight-hour days in month.
He admitted it would be difficult, by
reason of the nature of his route, to
relieve him at the expiration of ten
hours, the length of a day alleged as
normal. He declared his actual work
ing day was about fourteen hours.
C. R. D. Johnson, an engineer on a
helper" engine on the Southern Pa
cific exhibited a respirator which en-
ables enginemen to breathe in going
through long tunnels which became
choked with smoke. If there is any
delay in getting through the bores,
he said, the metal of the respirator
becomes so hot that it scorches any
part OF the face 1t touches.

bATTLESH|PS MUST
GIVE WAY To THE
LITTLE SUBMARINE

LONDON, Dec. 15.-England proba-
bly, never will lay down another dread
naught, says one of the foremost ship
builders in this country who for OBJ
vious reasons, cannot be quoted. All
the dreadnaughts, according to this
authority which have been laid down
will be rushed to completion, but no
orders will be given for any more YES
sells of this type. This policy VS. I'M
der serious consideration when the
Audacious went to the bottom and the
recent loss of the Bulwark has only
served to confirm the opinion that the
battleship as a fighting craft is DOOM
ed.
All new construction in the British
shipyards consist of heavily armed
cruisers of great coal carrying capa-
city, destroyers and submarines. For
ten miles along the Tyne in coming in
to Newcastle the passengers on the
boats cannot hear each other speak
because of the din of steam hammers,
most of which are making destroyers
and submarines.
When Sir Percy Scott expressed his
doubts of the efficiency of the dread
naught just after England had placed
her seal on it as the premier fighting
unit of naval warfare, his unorthodoxy
made him the strategic hereto of his
time, but this war has come near to

Here is the agreement between
Jack CurIey, the Chicago promoter,
and lack Johnson, the black champion,
for fight for the championship of the
world. Curley went to London in No
vember, to which city Johnson had
gone, despite his assertions of French
patriotism, and there got the big black
to agree to meet the American giant.
The fight will be held in the latter
part of March, and will run from
twenty to forty-five rounds, according
to the decision of CurIey. He has not
yet chosen place for the contest. 1t
may go to Mexico or Cuba. Had not
the women of California voted in favor
of the constitutional amendment to
abolish boxing there, the golden state
might have got the match AS it is,
Americans, who are chiefly interested,
will probably have to go a long dis
lance to see the fight The agreement
follows:
This agreement, made the 18th day
of November, one thousand nine hun
dred and fourteen, between Jack Cur
ley of New York City, U. S. A. Of the
first part, and Jack Johnson, at pres
ent of London, England. of the second

Whereby it is agreed az follows:

KAISER HAS HARD
TINE FEEDING HIS
PRISONERS OF WAR
(By Associated Press.)

COPENHAGEN, Dec. 15.-Agents Of
the commissary department of the
German army who are here purchas-
ing supplies, admit that Germany's
shortage in some respects is serious.
They state that Germany would be-
glad to release all prisoners of war
because of the difficulty of providing
supplies for them.
The agents find their task here made
difficult by the Danish prohibition
against export of many articles. They
have succeeded however, in purchas-
ing large quantities of meat, which
may still be exported to Germany
They would like to get million pairs
of boots and shoes, but the list of pro-
hibitfons includes all articles made Of
leather or hide.

NEW YORK. Dec 1.-THE destruc-
tiau of Admiral Won Specs squadron,
thz defeat of the Russians at Lodz.
and the seizure by Great Britain of the
Turkish HinterIand north of the Per-
sian Gulf give to the weeks war news
n zariety and significance of unique
interest
The most far-reaching in its ulti-
1zzzte consequences of the weeks de-
EeIoumsuts, is the British victory at
Kurna. The seizure of the military
rmztgr, has broken Turkeys hold ON
Southern Babylonia and lodges in Eng
lands possession the most important
surt of Nehuchadnezza's ancient en-
pir1
The district extends from the Tigris
and the Euphrates rivers to the Per
sian Gulf and gives England control
ut the new trade route through Asia
mfnor to- the Orient which is destined
TO be of value in the future
The British naval victory off the
Falkland Islands demonstrates again
the overwhelming necessity for big
GUNS and high speed in modern war
ships. Chance in a naval contest. If
waged on the surface, seems to have
vanished. Given the caliber of the
guns and the power OF the engines and
the result in infallible practicable.
Science has banished heroism from the
ErHy. The smaller vessels have no
chance and are death traps, while
casualties aboard the larger ships are
scarcely more than accidents.
Gen Won Hindenburg
Has Made Progress
Nevertheless, this fact must not de-
tract from the fine strategy shown by
the British admiralty in sending Ad
nafraI Sturdee to South America. He
seems to have heen ordered afloat from
his desk as chief OF the naval board
after Won Specs Chilean victory, on
November L. Apparently in command
of same of the fastest and most power
FuT cruisers of the British feet, Ad-
mfrag Sturdee crossed the Atlantic on
n diagonal course and ran straight
xuto the Germans. The entire affair
rom the time the admiral left London
wmtH ne sank the German squadron in
The South Atlantic took about a month
a truly remarkable exploit.
Equally worthy of the highest praise
zs the victory Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg has won in Poland With a
largely inferior force he has secured
"a firm hold we'll within the enanys
territory and has apparently compelled
1he Russians to reTinqutsh their Of
EenxiVe against East Prussia In the
Forth and SiRssia in the south There
are dTstinct possibilities that he may
be able TO fnfiict the most crushing
Eefeat of the war ON the SIavs, II he
rRn drive them rapidly against the
Vi9ula river
HIS SUCCESS In accomplishing this
proazhEy requires that he strengthen
his forces with further Withdrawals
from the west Large detachments al
ready have been made, and it is a mat
ter for very exact decision whether
the German lines in France and Bel
gTum will hold If they are weakened
any more. Slow gains have been made
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1914-12-15

by the allies during the week, but
nothing has been of a decisive char
acter. To hold the western trenches
and at the same time to give Won Hin
denburg more men with which to drive
the Slave into the Vistula Is the double
problem facing the German general
staff as the week ends.
