SLAIN ON HIGHWAY
White Man is Held in Connection
With an Aiken Killing.

What appears to have been one OF
the most deplorable assassinatlons
that has occurred in Aiken county for
years came to light when the sheriff
returned from the killing Of Sam
Berry, which occurred near Eureka
Thursday afternoon, although Sheriff
Howard and Coroner Spradley were
not notified until late that evening
and could not go to the scene until
Friday morning. Berry was found
dead by roadside, and a jury OF in
quest was empanelled.
1t seems from the evidence that
one Johnson Temples, white, had had
a dispute over land question with
Berry. and, in company with Berry,
was going along a road, when. &C
cording to Temples, who was about
six feet in the rear of Berry, the lat
ter was fred upon, being shot num-
ber of times with shotgun. Berry
fell dead, and Temples ran off. and
never reported the killing, it was
stated. All the evidence was gone
into fully, and the jury found ver-
dict that Berry came to his death at
hands of parties unknown to them.
Sheriff Howard arrested Temples,
and he is now in Jail at Aiken. Some
two years ago Berry narrowly escap-
ed death from ambush, his buggy and
horse being hit in number Of places
by the would-be assassins.

CANAL CLOSED FOR 1915;
10 MONTHS OF EXCAVATION
Permanent Channel Can be Secured
by Renewed EffortS-Moun-
tain to be Removed.

\ careful survey of the slide area
in the Gaillard Cut reveals that there
probably are ten million cubic yards
of earth in motion, which must be
taken out by dredging before perma-
nent channel is possible. This is
the conclusion reached by the canal
engineers, who concede there now is
little hope of opening the waterway,
even for the temporary use of ship
ping much before the first Of the
year.
The present rate Of wet excavation
is million yards a month and at
this rate it would require not less
than ten months to remove the mass

ably faster than the dredges can take
it out.
1t is said that often the canal bot

culated to be in the neighborhood OF

MUST NOT PUT U. S. SAILORS
ON SEAS in AN OPEN BOAT
The United States Upholds its Con-
tention in the Argument Over
the William P. FREE.

The administration has reasserted
it's position that the treaty Of 1928
between the United States and Ger
many prohibits the destruction Of
American vessels, and it insisted that
all Americans must be protected
when for military reasons such YES
sells are sunk. 1t declared that a
small boat was not "a place Of safe
ty'' in the meaning of the treaty.
The American communication is
based upon the case of the American
sailing vessel William P. Frye, which
was sent to the bottom by a German
sea-raider almost year ago. The
case has been the subject of corre-
spondence since last March. Ger
many originally admitted her liability
for damages, but took the position
that the case should be adJudicatei
BY a prize court. The state depart
ment declined to accept this proposal
and insisted that the damages should
be paid through diplomatic channels.
The American government accepts
the German suggestion in reply to
the American proposal concerning a
commission to fix damages for the
Frye, agreeing to dispense with the
umpire and leave the case to the two
experts, one from each country.
The state department has insisted
that the destruction of the vessel was
a deliberate violation of the treaty OF
1928, which specifically states that IN
the event of war neither country shall
destroy vessels of either of the con-
tracing parties, but shall dump the
contraband overheard and allow the
master to continue his voyage.
Germany refused to accept this in
depreciation of the treaty and sug-
gested arbitration of the meaning OF
the paragraph which was written al
most one hundred years ago. The
state department accepted the pro-
posal of arbitration, but insisted that,
pending a final settlement Of the
meaning Of the treaty, no Americans
should be endangered or cut adrlft
on the high seas in small boats.

Are you angry!

Are you angry!

None of them? Then, why don't
you smile?
History tells US of men who train

they wanted a stern expression of
countenance. The savages also prid-

sort of emotion.
Have you noticed in the photo

Only the heroes themselves are

TO BUILD 20 DREADNOUGHTS
FOR U. 5. NAVY IN S YEARS
President Wilson and Secretary Dan
ieIs Confer as to Needs Of
National Defence.

Fifteen to twenty fighting ships of
the drea6nought and battle cruiser
type with a proportionate number OF
sea-going submarines, coast subma-
rines, scout cruisers, destroyers and
auxiliaries, enough to make q new
American fleet, is contemplated by
Secretary Daniels for recommends
ton as a fve-year building program
for the navy.
|, President Wilson and Secretary
Daniels have discussed informally
the navy's needs and are agreed that
to be adequately prepared for defense
the fleets strength must be almost
doubled in the next five years. An
other conference between the presl-
dent and secretary viii be held Fri
day at which time the total number
of battle ships to be asked for PROB
ably will be fixed.
The fve-year naval program when
complete would add, in addition to
dreadnoughts and battle cruisers,
nearly one hundred submarines,
about seventy destroyers and several
scout cruisers and fuel and hospital
ships
An important part of the program,
too, will be a proposal for a large
increase in personnel. Appropria-
tions for at least eight thousand ad-
ditionai men will be asked for the
first year.
The total cost of the proposed pro-
gram OF the first year is put at nearly
two hundred and forty-eight million
dollars. Just what construction
should be provided for the first year
has not been determined.
It is considered probable that the
construction program for the first
year will exceed that OF succeeding
years that urgent deficiencies may be
filled promptly.
1t is understood President Wilson
intends to discuss the naval program
in his annual message and to make
of it an administration measures. IL
is the purpose Of the navy depart
ment to recommend at least thirty
submarines for next year. 1t Is plan
ming to bring the total to about one
hundred and seventy in i've years.
1t is not known what the plans OF
the navy are for the organization OF
the new fleet, but the general belief
in naval quarters that the plan OF
having a fleet in the Pacific will flg-
ure materially in the new program.

ANDERSON COUNTY MAN
SHOT BY WIFE'S NEPHEW
Negro Chauffeur Runs Car Out OF
Garage and Hears Shots as
Employer is Slain.

DR.. Lawrence Orr McCalla, aged
ffty-twc, retired physician and
wealthy and prominent farmer of
Starr, Anderson county, was shot
and instantly killed early Saturday
by Mrs. McCalla's nephew, Feaster
Jones, aged about thirty. The shoot
ing occurred in the automobile house
in the McCalla back yard.
After the shooting Jones walked to
his home, situated across the road.
and telephoned to Sheriff Ashley,
telling him what he had done, and
asked if he should come to the Jail
and surrender or would a, deputy
come for him. Jones refused to make
any statement and the causes leading
up to the homicide, which has shock
ed Anderson County, are unknown,
and no one seems to be able to fur
nish any light as to any clrcum-
stances or incident or happening that
might have been the cause.
Feaster Jones was interviewed by
a representative as he was standing
on his lawn, from where he was
watching the crowd gather and where
the coroner was empanelling jury

FRANCE HAS AERIAL ARMY
READY TO BATTLE The FOE
Correspondents See Battle Aeroflanes,
Cruiser, Scout and Torpedo
PIanes-Carry Sin. Guns.

An aerial army no longer is a
dream of romance. Such an army,
formed in divisions and squadrons,
with battle aeroplanes, cruiser aero
planes, scouts and torpedo planes, all
armored heavily and carrying three
inch cannon and rapid-fre guns, is
reality. It has been made possible
through the remarkable development
of military aviation in France.
The French government has per-
mitted the first inspection of its new
fleet of aeroplanes. Opportunity was
given to inspect the large and small
types of the new battle planes and
watch them manoeuvring high in the
air, firing round after round from
their three-inch rifles while they
soured, looped and dated about.
The minister OF war, Alexander
Millerand, assigned two military ex-
perts of the staff Of the aviation ser
vice-Capt. de Lafargue and Lieut..
Paruf-to conduct the correspond
ents first to one point, the name OF
which may not be mentioned, where
the new fleet Of battle craft had been
assembled, and later the Aviation
School at B, where one hundred
military aviators were learning to
navigate the new war craft.
The aviation field is a vast enclo-
sure. Entering the field a monster
battle plane loomed up thirty feet
high, with a number Of planes
stretching one hundred and thirty
feet across. Further back was rang
ed the fleet of battle cruisers and
scout planes. They were formed like
a battalion, twenty planes in a row
across the front and ten deep.I Their
huge wings made front half mile
wide. =.
The battle plane and all the cruis-
ers were armed heavily. Each car
ried both the three-inch cannon and
the rapid-fire gun.
The huge battle plane was the
chief centre Of attention. The engi-
neer who constructed it explained the
details. The officers said this was
the first actual realization of the bat
tie plane, other aerial dreadnoughts
having proved impractical. This mon
ster actually flew, carrying a crew
of twelve men, with two cannon on
the wings throwing three-inch steel
projectiles.

FIERCE ATTACK ON SERBIA
THREATENS ALLIED CAUSE
Russia, France and England to Co.
operate in Fighting Bulgars
or1 Tos1tono
and Teutons.

London reports: Serbia is being at
tackled from the north and the east.
The Austro-Germans, after capturing
Belgrade and Semendria, are advanc-
ing southwark, while the Bulgarians
are trying to interrupt communfca-
tions north and south of Nish, Ser
bias wartime capital, and to attack
the Serbs on the flank if they are
driven back by the German field mar
shal, Won Mackensen.
The situation is admitted to be
serious, not only for Serbia, but for
the whole allied cause. 1t is assert
ed that the Serbians are inflicting
heavy losses both on the Austro-Ger-
mans and Bulgarians, but with their
army Of about two hundred and fifty
thousand men they are believed to
have little chance Of making any pro-
longed resistance against three hun
dred thousand or four hundred thou
sand Austro-Germans and probably
two hundred thousand Bulgarians.
They are arranging for the transfer
of the capital to Monastir, in the eX-
treme southwestern corner of the
kingdom.
Greece apparently has decided to
ignore the treaty under which she is
supposed to go to the assistance of
her Serbian ally in case of an at
tack. Premier Zaimis said when mott
fed Of the Bulgarian attack that
Greece remains in position Of arm
ed neutrality"
The Quadruple Entente has decided

tions we're in the main founded upon
opportunity to peoples of the same
race. the same sentiments and the
same religion to join themselves to a
state under a government most akin
to them"
Premier Asquith in the House Of
Commons declined to grant day for
debate on Sir Edward Grey's state
ment on the Balkan situation. In
the House of Lords the Marquis OF
Crewe made statement similar to
that of the foreign secretary and
continued:
This attack on Serbia will only
make sterner and fercer the deter
mination of the allies to carry the
war through to definite victory at
whatever cost. Nothing has occurred
in ary part of the world to weaken
that resolution and we will maintain
it,
Sir Edward Grey, the secretary for
foreign affairs, also announced IN the
House of Commons that the cooper
alton of Russian troops in the Ball
kans had been promised, as soon as
troops were available.
In his remarks Sir Edward Grey,
alluding to Servia, praised the skill
and courage with which she had
driven her foes out of her country.
Once again, he said, the crisis was
upon Serbia and she was meeting 1t
with the same splendid courage. The
entry of Bulgaria made a great diff
ference in the situation and raised
the question Of treaty obligations be-
tween Greece and Serbia.
Regarding the attitude Of Greece,
Sir Edward Grey referred to the
statements made bp ex-Premier Veni-
zelos and the new Greek premier, M.
Zaimis, and said it must be obvious
that the interests of Greece and Ser
bia were now one. In the long run,
he said, they must stand or fall TO-
gether.
Through Greek territory alone
could the allies assist Servia, he said,
and added that Great Britain was CIV
ing Serbia all the help in its power
freely and Internationally.
''In view Of the treaty between
Greece and Serbia" said the foreign
secretary, 'how can there be any
other attitude on the part OF Greece
towards the assistance offered
through her to Serbia? In the steps
taken we acted in the closest CO.
operation with France, and the CO.
operation Of Russian troops is prom
ised as soon as they can be made
available.
s'The military measures adopted to
meet the requirements OF the new
situation are the subject of continu-
Gus attention by the military authorl-
ties Of the allies, and they Will oe
taken in close connection with each
other. 1t is not my province to make
a public disclosure Of the military
plans, and I can only say I believe
they will be based upon the prlncl-
pies Of sound strategy.
"servia is fighting for her national
existence and with her the struggle is
lust now intense and acute, but the
struggle is one and the issue is one,
in whatever theatre Of war fighting IS
taking place.
"All the allies are fighting for ma
tional existence and for all who are
fighting the same issues arise. 1t IS
fight for the right to live not under
the shadow of Prussian militarism
which does not observe the ordinary
rules of humanity in war and to leave
us free from the menace of oppres-
Sion.''
