MOTHER AND BABY, LUSlTANIA VICTIMS,
 SEEN FROM LINER

New York, May 17-The American liner St Paul, which left Liverpool on May 8, the day after the Lusitania, disaster, passed through eighteen miles of wreckage off Old KinsaIe Head, where the Lusitania went down, and seven bodies were seen in the sea. This was on Sunday, May g, forty-four hours after the Cunarders sank.
 One of the bodies was that of a. well dressed woman with her right arm clinging to an overturned life raft. Her left arm clasped an infant to her breast and it's arms were around her neck.
 Nearby noated the. bodies of three children in life preservers.
 Several of the St. Paul's passen- gers thought the body of the woman might have been that of Mrs. Paul ECrompton of Chestnut Hill, Philadel- phia., with her baby, and the others | three of her four children who were lost.
 Only Forty Feet Away
 The body of the woman was only the St. Paurs bow and was seen plainly by Mrs. Jean Cabel -O'Neill, William Potter of Philadelphia, for mer United States Minister to Italy, and Sir Frederick M. Maxwell, Chief Justice of the Leeward Islands | those of adults.
 1 In addition to the life raft with the bodies of the woman and infant 1 there, was another overturned raft. three Scapsized Hfeboats, steamer chairs, life belts, wooden gratings and other deck fittings.
 | The St. Paul did not stop. No sub marines were sighted. Just after the I St. Paul left Liverpool, however, a I wireless warning was received From 1 the British Admiralty in Liverpool to look out for the German under l sea craft.
 Capt. Pascow said the sinking o1 I the Lusitania was the greatest stroke 1 of the war for recruiting in Great l Britain He also said the British fleet is now greater than at the beginning g ] of the. war despite the loss of sew I era4 war vessels, as all the Roya I Navy Yards have been building dread lnoughts, and in fact almost every shipyard in England and Scotland is turning out war vessels of some de
 scription.

The deadly gases of the Germans are not so effective now in the Euro pean war. In the accompanying n- 1ustration is. shown a British soldier equipped with a. nose guard to protect him from the terrible odors that fol- low the explosion of one of the Ger man bombs. It is declared that this device has been very successful in overcoming the otherwise fatal effect of the gases. The guards are simply made of cotton gauge and, fit snugly over the nose and mouth.

C0NCREGAT4ONALIST PASTOR ADVOCATES
 UNITY OF CHURCHES

Tn a sermon given yesterday at the First Congregational church, Rev. Herbert D. Gallaudet, pastor, urged that the North and South Congrega- tionaI churches be united.
 That there is no need for two churches so close together in the southern section of the city in view of the growth of the city and that more good could be accomp1ishe d elsewhere was the substance of the address.
 Either the unity of the two churches or the removal of one to another part Of the city, was favored by Rev. MT. .GalIaudet in his address. He spoke at length on the problem of churches in their relation to the people.

Some Historic Marehes.-The pro-

Some Historic Marches.-The pro-
digious marches accomplished by some
Of the German troops, especially be-
fore the battle Of Tannenberg and IN
the last battle Of the Masurian lakes,
have moved q Berlin historian to make
interesting comparisons with famous
marches Of other days. He concludes
that no troops have ever before made
such a record in this respect as the
soldiers now in the armies in the east.
An average march, he says, Is 70 to
81 miles but after three days day Of
rest is observed If this pace has been
kept. On the famous retreat OF the
10000 Greeks under Ken ,phon, after
the battle of KunaXa in 40l B. c., from
near Babylon to Trapezunt on the
Black sea, the average days march
was 16 ga miles, but this average was
secured by several forced marches OF
271-2 miles, and the normal days
march was about Is IA miles.
A striking accomplishment was that
of Napoleon's Guards, who covered 110
miles in six days on their march to
take part in the battle Of Jena, and
that over bad roads through the Thur
ingian forest. The Ninth German army
corps with exhausting marches be-
hind 1t, covered 46 miles from the
vicinity Of Blois to Orleans in 36 hours
in 1870, and over muddy roads and was
ready to fight the next day.
One East Prussian regiment march
ed 122 miles in five days to join Hind
enburg's army, and took part In the
battle Of Tannenberg in the afternoon
Of the fifth day without stopping to
rest.

Army correspondence
Charleston, Oct. II, 1858.
The greatest quiet prevails through
out the city tonight, Notwithstanding
shouts are distinctly heard from the
several batteries. Last night two Yam
KEGS in an open boat were brought to
by our water pickets, and this morn
ing turned over to the tender mercies
of Gen. Ripley. They say they lost
their way and it is said were not over
communicative. The new bridge con-
structing between the city and Mount
Pleasant vicinity Is nearly completed
and thus safe connection between the
two places and Sullivan's Island will
be secured, at least until the bridge
between the two islands Is destroyed,
the big gun" will then be rolled over
and probably will report loud enough
for your readers to hear at propitious
time.
The 18th and 18th regiments are
again on the move, not far this time,
only to the other side Of the city, on
James Island. The trial Of Gen. Evans
is progressing here at the military hall,
which Is the occasion Of assembling
many Of the military hot and cold
spurs. It seems Gen. Evans was acting
major general, and Col. Keitt was ap-
pointed by Gen. Ripley to the tempo
rary command Of his brigade. This
the general (Evans) would not allow,
contending the position Of right was
