Melachite Sunk.

Havre, via Paris, November 26.-
The British steamer Melachite has
been sunk by a German submarine
near Cape La Have, which is about
three miles from Havre.
The Melachite, steamer of about
1000 tons belonging to the Cunard
Company, was bound from Liverpool
to Havre. She was stopped by the
submarine and the crew was given
ten minutes to get into the boats.
After this was done the submarine
sank the Melachite and then closed
her own matches and dove down be-
meath the sea, leaving the crew of
the steamer to make their way to
Havre. They arrived safely a few
hours afterward.

Little river near the North Main
street bridge, Thursday afternoon
about three o'clock, by some little
children of Robt. -Bellamy's, who
were playing on the river bank. They
saw the bundle and attempted
to fish it out with stick and discov-
cred what it was. They reported
the matter and Sheriff Jewell Smith
and Chief Ellis Roper went to the
scene and took the body to the police
headquarters. The county coroner
held an inquiry, and found out moth
ing about the circumstances of the

decomposed and had evidently been
in the water several days. The body
was fully developed and weighed s
or 10 pounds. 1t was wrapped in a
white cloth and over this black
underskirt was pinned. The child
was apparently white or very light
mulatto. 1t had black hair and was
newly born. It was not ascertained
whether the child was dead or alive

The body was buried in the pot

United States and South Amer.
lea Nav Enter Protest on

TO PAN.AMERICAN TRADE.
Southern Nations Ask America
to Approve Of Some Plan
of Ending Trouble.

Washington, Nov. 27.-The United
States government has been asked
by the principal South American ma
tons to cooperate with them in
negotiations with European belll-
gerents to bring about exclusion of
all belligerent warships from the
waters of the two Americas and
safeguard the trade of Pan-American
countries with each other.
Argentina, Chile, Peru and Uru-
quay have laid their suggestions be-
fore the Washington government,
while the Brazilian government is
considering taking similar step.
Virtually all the Central and South
American countries have been circu-
larized by some of the principal ma
tions, resulting in a series of diplo-
matte conferences in Washington
and the capitals of South America,
which are now in progress.
While the proposals are different
in character and scope, they will
seek the same end-the restoration
of the trade between North and
South America, paralyzed by the
European war. The movement also
has for it's object the removal of
possible causes of serious friction
between the countries of this hemi-
sphere and the European belligerents
on questions of neutrality.

lLOUuO0, IN e. Inc huSSldil
general staff is Withholding details
of the victory which all other dis
patches from Petrograd say the Rus
SLAMS have won over the German for
ces that penetrated Poland, Official
report simply says the battle contin
ues to develop to the advantage of
the Russians and that the Germans
are trying to extricate themselves
from an unfavorable position.
The Germans on the other hand,
claim they have inflicted heavy losses
on the Russians between Lodz and
Lowicz.
Military authorities in Petrograd,
assuming that the unofficial reports
of victory are true, express aston
ishment that the Germans should
have attacked LODI, for they say de-
feat there was inevitable. The Ger
mans, who advanced from the north
and south. these military observers
add. doubtless intended to seize the
railway between Skierniewice and
Pictrkow and interrupt communica-
ton between the northern and south
ern Russian armies, but that Grand
Duke Nicholas, with an enormous
number of men at his command,
sandwiched them and directed his at
lacks from all points, except due
west. The reported failure of the
German crown princes army to adj
vance on the Cracow- Cxenstochowa
front is considered by these military
critics as contributing to the check
ing of the Germans.
1t is said in Petrograd that one, if
not two, Germans corps are almost
enveloped and that they are making
a desperate effort to fight their way
to the north. Already large num-
Der of prisoners are reported to have
passed through Warsaw. This is
considered in London TO confirm I'M
official reports and the statements of
Lord Kitchener in the house of lords
yesterday that the reinforced Rus
sian troops in this neighborheod have
been able to check and defeat the
Germans with, believe, heavier
losses than they have ever sustained
before"
The Russians are said to be con-
tinuing their advance through the
Carpathians, in western Galicia and
against Cracow, and Professor Ber-
nard Pares. the British governments
representative with the Russian
headquarters staff, said the Musco-
wife forces are forming a half circle
around East Prussia to avoid the well
fortified and difficult Mazurian lake
region. They also are declared to be
operating with success against the
Turks in the Caucasus.
Except for artillery fighting the
battle in the west remains virtually
at standstill, although in isolated
attacks both sides claim progress.

Lord Kitchener, in the house of

time had fought against great odds,

London, July 25.-Writing under the signature of An American Visitor to Ireland" man from the United States who has just been touring the Green Isle with party of friends, hits straight from the shoulder i'll a remarkable open letter addressed to Englishmen which follows:
 You English people don't seem ln- clined to look facts in the face about your Irish troubles.
 To travel through Ireland by auto mobile these lovely summer days would be delight were it not for the shadow that haunts our little party of American pleasure seekers.
 Not in the least concerned in your political affairs, we do very strongly object that, when we have been lured across the Atlantic by the clever ad- vertising of your railroad and steam ship corporations, we find ourselves in a very unexpected Ireland, an Ire land almost as certain on the edge o1 bloody catastrophe as we were Ill 1860.
 We open your somewhat dull-look- ing English and Irish newspapers each morning, we read aloud to our little party the platitudes of your Lansdownes, Morleys, and the rest Of them, and we cannot understand why they and you instead of staying at home and talking, don't come and see for yourselves what your empire is heading for. We have been here two weeks, and throughout Ulster, Leln- ster, Munster and Connaught we have not, to our knowledge met an Eng fish visitor
 We have been present at gathering after gathering of the rival gangs of bloodthirsty cut-throats who are pre- pairing to make you Britishers look ri diculous throughout the world, and we lookin vain for any real presenta- tion of this amazing state of affairs by newspapers. We do not side with Carson's army, though we admire the way in which Kitchener's methods have perfected it, and we rather pity Redmond's unarmed and leaderless rabble.
 What puzzles us is the apparent in- ability of your public men and your newspapers to look at the facts and tell the truth The basic rock of your Irish trouble is to be found scrawled on every wall and fence in your well-ordered, well-roaded. splen- didly cultivated and solidly built province of Ulster-"We Want No Popery Here" It is usually worded that way but often in stronger fash ion. The red flags that fly at most Protestant churches and chapels, the orange marigolds at every girls bos-
