| submarine sent the big British steam
er with nearly hundred American
lives to the bottom of the sea- At that
time, however, Mr.. Marshall refused
to express any definite opinion with
regard to this country's probable &C
ton in the matter, and he has kept
his silence ever since.
1t is believed, however, that the
Vice President probably has been
waiting for President Wilson to speak
the first word for the administration,
and in view of the Presidents pointed
address for peace at Philadelphia yes
terday Mr. Marshall may now feel at
sees it.
If these possibilities are converted
into fact, Hattiesburg will be the first
place in the United States where an
official statement has been made re-
garding the most important interna-
tional complication in which this coun-
try has been involved since the civil
war.
Mrs. Marshall With Him.
Following her almost unbroken GUS
tom of remaining at her husband
side in all his travels, Mrs. Marshall
is accompanying the Vice President.
so far as has been learned by the To-
cal reception committee, there are no
other members Of the party.
The Vice President has been receiv.
ed most cordially at every place he
has spoken on the present Southern
tour. His subject Is one which he Is
especially we'll fitted to handle, for as
presiding officer Of the United States
Senate, never taking part in the de-
bates, Mr.. Marshall Is afforded a rare
opportunity to observe the general d.
rection toward which the govern.
mental affairs are drifting, and as he
is an exceptionally able speaker, his
address is said to be not only highly
instructive but equally as interesting.
Reception and Auto Ride.
The Vice President and Mrs. Mar
shall will be guests Of the city just
eighteen hours, and arrangements
ments have been made to make their
stay here as pleasant as possible. It
had been planned to take them In au-
tomobiles to the Normal College i'm.
mediately on arrival this afternoon,
but on account Of the muddy condt
ton of the grounds. making 1t impos-
sible to line the students up on the
campus, this has been postponed.
The reception at the Hotel Hatties-
burg tonight in honor Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Marshall doubtless will be attended
by several hundred men and women,
as it is open to the public.
Tomorrow morning at $50 o'clock
the Vice President and Mrs. Marshall
will be driven in automobiles to the
Normal College, Woman's College and
other points of interest in and around
the city. It is expected this drive will
last about an hour and a half, the
party returning in time to board the
1870 Northeastern train for Meridian,
where the Vice President speaks to-
night.

Mine SWEEPERS SHOW
CONTEMPT FOR PERIL
Linked Trawiers Dare Winter Gales to
Clear the North Sea-.

A young American who recently sign
ed for service as member of the crew
Of mine sweeper sends the following
account of one of his trips out into the
North sea: -. q. -..-.
"'Order-You proceed at once to -
and will sweep the area marked on the
accompanying chart This was the
order which sent us hammering into
the head seas Of lively wind on a
bitterly cold Sunday morning at 4
o'clock. = 1t takes a tight vessel to
survive the welter and smother which
rise so quickly In these waters. In the
winter months, especially, the work
goes on amid conditions of great sever
ity, and our ships frequently keep the
sea as mine sweepers when as trawlers
they would flee to the shelter of their
harbors.
"Our ship is one Of the best of her
stanch type, and she reeled along won.
derfully on that Sunday morning.
Somewhere in the darkness to star
board there showed through the whirl-
ing snow the lights of another vessel
running on the same course as our
selves, and at the same speed. The
dawn came UP and showed her to be
kin to us and the signals at once made
clear that in her we beheld our sweep
ing partner. There arises curious
respect for her. She must know quite
well that at any moment her plunging
bows may meet a mine and then there
would be a vacancy at her end Of the
drag tackle and vacancies in little cot
tages in the, isles. -.
"Fifteen hours Of drenching and buf.
fet1ng were our portion that day. The
vessel, with the pull Of the tackle and
the drive Of her engines keeping her
down like a half tide rock, was never
clear Of the sweeping seas. Thud, slap,
crash, swish, they came over her bows
and swirled along the deck, never ceas.
ing their constant assault.
"When the snow passed there was 9
glimpse Of sun. Then the wind backed
against the sun and came down on us
in wild gusts, icy cold. AS the after
noon wore Oh the cold increased, and
just before nightfall came a strange
lull which let in biting frost. The
hardy fellows on board were stiff and
numb before the day was done, and
when the gear was slipped and shipped
nobody was sorry. -..
'"The disposal Of the mines recovered
11 1l,o ~.
circumstances Of their recovery. Ere
quently our gunners explode them by
firing into them from the deck"

KANSAS TO HONOR INDIAN.

Proposes Monument For William
Walker, First Provisional Governor.
A bill has been passed by the senate
Of Kansas appropriating several hun
dred dollars for monument to mark
the grave of William Walker, a Wyan-
dotte Indian, who was the first provi-
sional governor of Kansas and was
buried in Kansas City, Kan. There
was considerable argument over the
bill. and the venerable Senator L. P.
King, who served in the Indian wars,
gave short speech in favor Of the bill
in the purest Sioux, although it was
quite unintelligible to most present.
William Walker was chief Of the Wy
andotte tribe, which brought the first
church and the first school to Kansas
when it emigrated from Ohio to the
mouth Of the Kaw river in the thirties.
When large number of Indian trad
ers, missionaries and Indians organ
lied the provisional government of the
then Nebraska territory they elected
Walker the provisional governor. This
territory included all of Kansas and
Nebraska and parts of Oklahoma and
Colorado. Walker served until the ter
ritorial government Of Kansas was or
gained in 1854. when Samuel Reeder
was appointed. Reeder was forced by
the slavery opponents later to fee the
country.
Walker also figured In the American
Notes. of Charles Dickens. Dickens
met Walker in st. Louis and considered
him most remarkable man.

POPULATION OF BERLIN.
Said to Have Dropped Below the
100000 Mark.

In consequence of the war the p0pu-
lation Of Berlin exclusive Of the subur-
ban towns) has again dropped below
he 100000 mark, which it had crossed
several years ago. The population at
the beginning Of January was returned
at 1,982,154, which signifies a loss Of
$1,000 for the year.
This loss, however, does not take ac-
count of the men who have gone into
the war, who are still. counted as II
present; it seems to be due mostly to
the removal Of working people to the
suburbs and to more distant districts.
