R. Tally, of Hattiesburg, will not
speak at the state fair grounds on next

sity of Mississippi and Mississippi
college would be called.

Automobile Races
With De- ii to
Reach Surgeon
SeCil McSWAlN WITH MAIN AR.
Terry CUT, BROUGHT HERE
FROM NEW AUGUSTA.

All the races with death do not oc-
cur in the chickering's of the movie
films. The real race-not a reel race
ended at the South Mississippi In
Urinary today, when Cecil McSwain
farmer from near New Augusta,
slowly bleeding to death from a sew
cred artery in his leg, was laid on the
operating table for DR.. w. w. Craw-
ford to staunch the flow.
A week ago, McSwain was In the
field cutting hay when the moving
machine caught his leg and almost
amputated 1t. Yesterday one Of the
main arteries again started to bleed
and the efforts Of the local doctors
were unable to stop 1t. They informed
his family that the only hope was to
reach Hattiesburg surgeon with him
as soon as possible. A fast automo
bile was secured rather than wait for
the next train which would put him
here perhaps too late. The machine
drove through the country as fast as
was possible on account of the fast
ebbing life of the wounded man. He
was brought to the Infirmary this
morning too weak for the operation al
once. Emergency tactics were EN-
ployed to gain time so that his
strength might be recovered sufficient
ly for the operation. This Afternoon
the steady hands of DR.. Crawford will
go to the heart of the wound and i
human aid can avail to save the man:
life he will recover

London, Oct. 22.-The Germans to-
day are continuing their terrific on
slaughts and smashing tactics in an
effort to break through the allied
lines in North France and Belgium,
but without success, according to the
information that Is available this aft
ernoon.
This information, however, comes
chiefly from the official announcement
at Paris. Nothing whatever comes
from the German side as to their YER
sion of the results or their repeated
violent attacks on the Western end OF
the battle line.
The Germans doubtless are giving
attention to that portion of the line
near Dismude, Warniton, Armentiers,
Radinghom and La Basse, but there is
noticeable activity along the line ex-
tending much farther south into
France.
From several points come reports
of fighting, but they do not seem to
be the result of any concerted action
and are not taken to be important.
This has led to the statement in Lon.
don that possibly the Germans have
abandoned for the time at least q
definite campaign plan after their
check on the coast movement.
From allied sources comes an Of.
ficial announcement that an important
Russian forward movement has been
successful. After an engagement near
Warsaw the Germans have been driv-
en- back eight miles, the reports says,

DEMOCRATIC Achievement DUE
TO PRESIDENTS LEADERSHIP
One Congress- Passes More Remedial
Legislation Than Has Been Achieved
In Several Decades eefore-Resorms

Conditions.

Washington, Oct 22.-An era OF
peace with foreign nations and domes-
tic prosperity was predicted for the
American people by Majority Leader
Underwood of the House, in a reply,
thanking President Wilson for his let
ter praising the achievements of Demo
Gratis in Congress. Mr.. Underwood
said he and his colleagues felt that
what they had accomplished was due
largely to the Presidents magnificent
leadership.
Letter To President.
The letter follows:
my Dear Mr.. President write to
thank you for your letter commencing
the work of my colleagues in this Con-
gress. 1t is a great pleasure to us all
to know that the hard work of the
past eighteen months in carrying out
the policy of your administration meets
with your cordial approval.
81 am sure that I can say for my
colleagues as well as myself, that al
though we have striven earnestly tc
| keep our promise to the people and
write on the statute books Legislation
in keeping with the progressive spirit
of the times, we feel that it is largely
due to your magnificent Leadership
that we have achieved in one Congress
more remedial legislation in the in
! terest of the American people than ha!
been achieved by legislation in severa
decades before this congress met.
Immediate Results.
eve cannot expect that the reform
inaugurated by your administrator
will Immediately demonstrate thei
worth. After a law is on the statut
books it takes months and often year
before the sentiment of the country at
justs itself to the new conditions, bu
| feel sure that time will prove tina
the legislation which has been enacte
at this Congress is the beginning Of
new life for our nation. We hav
opened the way to fairer business col

dation individual liberty and bushes
freedom for our people
"I believe we can now look TO

Washington, Oct. 22-Complete
mystery surrounds the seizure by
British cruisers off the north Atlantic
coast of the American liner Brindilla,
sailing the American flag, and belong
ing to the Standard Oil Company.
Diplomatic complications with Great
Britain are possible, for the State De-
partment officials frankly admit, while
acknowledging receipt of official news
that the incident had occurred, that
they can see no reason for the seizure.
In the absence Of any satisfactory
reasons for the capture of the ship on
other grounds, it is feared in some
quarters that Great Britain may be at
tempting to establish its right to seixe
ships, which at the time of the out
break of the war flew the German
colors, but which, as in the case of
the Brindilla, subsequently entered
the American registry.
State Department View.
1t was pointed out at the State De-
partment that even though it might
be claimed that the Brindilla carried
contraband articles of war, the fact
that she was a neutral ship sailing
from a neutral port, New York, to
Alexandria, Egypt, a British port
made her seizure by the British cruis
ers unexplainable. The same view is
said to be held at the White House.
When the President was asked con
cerning the incident, he declared tha
he had not been officially informed o
it. AS a matter of fact, the officia
report from the United States consu
at Halifax reached the State Depart
meht some time later in the morning
It contained, however, no details con
cerning the capture.
, If the seizure is to be made pre-
cedent by the British government witt
respect to the claim of immunity mad
, by the United States for German ship
which have entered the American res
istry, the case is likely to assume tn
proportions of the right to assume tn
seizure cases which, during the Ns
poleonic wars, gave rise to the wa
of 1912 between the United States an
England.
At that time England claimed tn
right to board American ships an
take off seamen which she might hol
to be native Englishmen obligated fo
, service against France.

A children's chorus composed of a
hundred or more youthful voices is
the plan for the Andrews meeting.
The evangelist proposes to turn the
musical part of the devotional exer-
cises once a week over to the chill
dren under the direction of H. NJ.
Powell. A meeting for the children
has been announced for each day i'm
mediately after the afternoon service
for the purpose Of practicing for the
song service they are to conduct with
the guidance of Mr.. Powell.
One of the interesting sidelights or
the Andrews meeting was the incident
which occurred last night which shows
that the Hattiesburg ministers are
more versatile than is suspected. One
of the cornetists failed to show III
for some reason or other and Mr.
Powell was afraid that his instru
mental music would be rather weak
when the Rev. J. s. Zeran, pastor o
the Christian church, volunteered L
fill his place, which he did with credi
to himself and to the musical program
Another feature of the meeting las
night was the whistling contest be
tween the men and women Of the cor
gregation. It was on the chorus @
"T Love Him." The men won by
small margin.
The devotional exercises of tn
meeting Yesterday afternoon were lie
by the Rev. G. H. Galloway. The te
: minutes were devoted to the report
: of the morning prayer meetings an
, announcements. Many requests fc
prayers we're made
: The evening devotionswere conduc
ed by the Rev. M. M. Black, OF tn
, Broad Street Methodist church.
r Prayer meetings were held th
morning at the residences of Mr.

Directors Would
Delay Opening
Reserve Banks
FRANK FooTE. OF HArTIEssuRc,
MEMBER BOARD WHICH RE-
JEcTED M'ADoo's PLAN.

Washington, Oct. 22.-Directors and
governors of twelve federal reserve
banks here refused, by two votes, to
support Secretary McAdoo's plan to
open the new system for business No
vember 16, and recommended that the
opening be set for November 80. This
action Is not binding on the federal
reserve board or Secretary McAdoo.
for the currency act gives the secre-
tary authority to open the banks when
he believes they are ready for busi-
ness. Southern bankers are anxious
for early opening on account Of the
assistance the federal banks might
gise In taking care Of the cotton crop.
It is evident tonight that MAORI
lty Of the board are not pleased with
the recommendation. 1t is possible
meeting of the board within the next
few days will develop sufficient senti-
ment to bring vote asking, Secretary
McAdoo to name a date earlier than
November 80.
The argument against opening No
vember 16 was that it is physically
impossible for the directors to get
ready. In several instances the direc
tors have not chosen their governors
and in many cases quarters have moi
yet been selected
The board has already voted to open
all banks at the same time but if II
is possible the decision will be chang
ed if any special reasons are discover
ed to make the opening of part o.
the banks before the rest, desirable.
