Lusitapia Disaster.

Philadelphia, May 10. 0.-Presi-
dent Wilson gave to a gathering
of four thousand naturalized
Americans tonight the first init
nation Of the course the United
States probably will persue in the
situation resulting from the loss
of more than a hundred Ameri-
can lives on the Cunard liner
Lusitania. He spoke by implica-
tioL, but his hearers interpreted
his remarks as meaning that
while the United States would
remain at peace, it would seek to
convince Germany of the injus-
tice to mankind of the tragedy.
America" said the president
must have consciousness that on
all sides it touches elbows. and
touches hearts with all nations of
mankind. The example OF
America must be special exam
pie not merely of peace because
it will not fight, because peace is
the healing convating influence
of the world and strife is not.
There is such a thing as a
man being to proud to fight.
There is such a thing as being SC
right that does not need to con.
vince others by force of its
sight" Humanity first" was
his advice.
These remarks precipitated a
tumult of applause. and patriotic
enthusiasm attended by the wav.
ing of thousands of American
flags.
The president made no direct
reference to the Lusitania TRACE
dy, but the audience did not
hesitate to read the application

Alabama Team Won Triple
Victory Over Clemson
Last Week.
RIVALRY Between TEAMS IS STRONG
Victory For Auburn Will Give
Them Better Claims For
Championship

The Alabama Polytechnic In
stltute base ball team from Au-
burn. led by their famous coach,
Mr.. Donahue, will play Mississippi
A. and NJ. here Friday and Sat
urday at Lake Park in the final
series of the year for both teams.
Although Auburn teams are
famous all over the South, this is
the first time that an Auburn
team has ever played in Columbus
and the opportunity will be seized
by many to see the Orange and
Black athletes and their famous
coach, who has won the foot ball
championship of the South for
the past three years. Coach Dom
ahue will have several of his foot
pail stars with him on the base
ball squad. among them beir &
Hairston, the quarter back. wlo
is one of the best college catchers
in the South as we'll as a slugger.
Last Saturday his home run
drives enabled Auburn to win
three games from Clemson in
one day. the teams playing one
game in the morning and a double
header in the afternoon. Tn 8
triple victory over Clemson has
put Auburn back in the running
| for the S. |. A. A. championship
and they are saying that ii they
can win from A. and M. that they
will have a better claim than
Alabama has. as they defeated
Georgia, last years champions,
! while the best thatAlabama could
do was to break even in a two
game series. At any rate A. and
NJ. and Auburn seem to be evenly
matched. A. and M. has lost
one series to Alabama. while Au-
burn lost one to Georgia Tech.
| The rivalry between the Missis-
sippi Aggies and Auburn is very
strong, and both will fight their
hardest TO win. as this is the
first time that they have met in
base ball for several years. The
new base ball diamond at Lake
Park will be in much better
shape this week, as the heavy
rain last week settled the ground
and the spectators can be assur-
G. of three fast games.
The teams will probably play a
double header Saturday as each
is anxious to win decisiyely from
the other team.

Mr.. John Shelton, Wife and Little
Baby are Rescued by Mr.. W.

Mr.. and Mrs. John Shelton and
little six months old baby, of
Ethelville, Ala, had a narrow es-
cape from drowning shortly af-
ter noon Sunday. and had it not
been for the quick work of Mr..
W. |. Harper. a local citizen, they
would have lost their lives.
Mr., Shelter and bis. family up
on leaving this city Sunday had
just crossed the Luxapalila
bridge on the Air Line road. The
horse, which they were driving.
became unmanagable in the
swift overflow across the road
caused by the recent heavy rains,
and went into water up to his
head. Jumping from the buggy
Mrs. Shelton managed to swim to
a telephone pole. The horse. in
an effort to follow her, fell into a
twelve foot trench formerly used
as a gravel pit, and was drowned.
Mr. Shelton. who held the baby
in the buggy, managed to get
out safely and reached the pole
to which his wife was holding.
Mr.. W. T. Harper, who was
nearby. heard their distressing
screams and ri he'd to aid them.
Finding a skiff in the creek near
by he pulled it from the stream
and dragged it across land for
nearly fifty feet. Putting the
boat into the overflowed water
he got in and hurriedly went to
their rescue.
