New information to Enemy

London, Aug. GA German sub
marine has been destroyed single
handed near Ostend by A. w Bigs-
worth, who dropped bombs from his
aeroplane.
Official announcement of the feat
was made this evening as follows:
"The Secretary of the Amiralty an
nounces that Squadron Commander
Arthur Ellsworth r. N, destroyed
single-handed German submarine
this morning by bombs dropped from
an aeroplane The submarine was
observed to be completely wrecked,
and sank off Ostend.
at is not the practice of the Admir-
atty to publish statements regarding
the losses of German submarines, i'm
portant though they have been, in
cases where the enemy has no other
source of information as to the time
and places at which these losses have
occurred
'In the case referred to above,
however, the brilliant feat of Squad
ron Commander Bigsworth was per-
formed in the neighborhood of the
coast in occupation of the enemy, and
the position OF the sunken submarine
has been located by a German de-
stroyer."

NO TIME TO TALK
PEACE DECLARES
PREMIER V|v|ANI
AvOwaI of Nations Firm Purpose
Arouses Chamber Of Deputies
CREDITS VOTED 53s TO I.
Premier Says Opinions Differ in
France Because French Are
Free to Express Views.

Paris. Aug. 26--By vote of $50 to
l, the Chamber of Deputies today vot-
ed the credits asked by the govern
ment after a stirring appeal by Pre-
mier Viviani, whose eloquent periods
and vivid portrayal Of the determine
tion of Ffance to fight for the attain
ment of an honorable and not pre-
mature peace brought the members
to their feet in tumultuous applause.
q am not going to speak OF the san
itary service, alone" said the Prem
ier, but also of parliamentary Incl
dents that cannot be ignored In the
higher interests of the country, by
which we are judged we must justi-
fy the union of government and parl-
lament
''rhe home services of the war de-
partment have accomplished their
tasks. In other quarters errors have
been made, but parliament has lent
cordial cooperation without seeking
at the time to fix responsibility for
mistakes. The errors have been re-
paired
Let us Danish nessimism and de-
pressing anxiety France, by the
grace of all her children's efforts, her
public servants prompted by neces-
sary criticism, is equal to the task of
fulfilling her destiny.
Put the question of peace before
the country, and it would be blown
to nothing. Not until heroic Belgium
has been freed, not until we have re-
taken Alsace and Lorraine could
there be mischievous divis,cn
among us.
France has created an army full
filing the most modren conceptions
She has instilled the love Of justice.
the love Of right, and upon the day
war began the children of France
united in support of this high ideal,
without which there would have been
only armies of mercenaries.''
At this point the Deputies sprang to
their feet and cheered the Premier
wildly.
When the demonstration had died
down, the Premier continued:
yes, the German press has said
that France was divided. Yes, there
are divergencies of opinion. These
are the essence of free government
But it would be fatal division if
there were in this country fraction
of the people who even thought OF
premature peace"
Premier Viviani concluded by say.
ing:
81 ask you to adopt the concilatnry
attitude necessary, so that we may
go on TO victory"
The entire Chamber applauded, and
it was voted that the Premiers adj
dress be posted on the billboards
throughout France.

SOCIALIST PEACE TERMS
Opponents Must Not Acquire Any
German Territory

Berlin, via London, Aug. 25--The
socialist newspapers publish the re-
suits Of conferences by the party's
Reichstag members and members of
the party committee concerning the
socialist peace aims and summarize
these aims as follows:
''Peace must be permanent one
leading the European nations to
closer relations.
"Germany's opponents must not be
permitted to acquire any German
territory.
Most favored nation clauses
should be introduced into peace
treaties with all belligerents.
Tariff walls should be removed.
so far as possible freedom of the
seas should be established, the right
of capture abolished and 'narrows
important for the worlds commerce"
should be internationalized.
Austria and Turkey must not be
weakened
"Annexations of foreign territories
violate the rigths of peoples self rule
and weaken internal strength and
hormany of the German nation; there
fore, we oppose all plans of this sort
of shortsghted politicians, favoring
conquest
Finally the party demands the es-
tablishment of an international court
to which all future conflicts of ma
tions may be submitted

AustrO- Germans Have Captured
Fortress of OIita
SLAvS HOLD ONLY GROOnO
Will Be Evacuated When It Has Full
filled Purpose of Pro-
tecting Retreat.

Berlin, via London, Aug. z7--The
Russian fortress of Olita, the last
stronghold of the Slavs on the War
saw-Petrograd, has fallen into the
hands of the German-Austro forces,
according to the official announce
ment of the war Office today.
The Germans now are in posses
sion of the whole line of railway from
Chelm to Bialystok, the Russians
having already evacuated the latter
city. The lesser fortress Of Grodno
is now the only strongly defended
position remaining in the hands of
the Russians.
The Russians have not yet entered
the vast Bialowies forest, which runs
thirty miles north and south, and has
a width of from seventeen to thirty
miles. The forest is famous hunt
ing centre and bison preserve.
South of Brest-Litovsk are the Pripet
marshes, which protect the Russian
left, and with plenty of roads and
three or four railroad lines. Il is ex-
pected here that Grand Duke Nicho-
las will make good his retirement if
Grodno and Wilma can hold out long
enough. Even though they should
fall, military observers say the Grand
Duke would be well on his way to
his new positions before the Germans
could reach his flank. There is again
talk of Russian preparations for
stand, but no indication as yet where
this attempt is to be made.

Have YOU noticed these little stiff,
unadorned black hats that few OF
Hattiesburg's most chic damsels are

crowned variety, that can be found
in any shop, but the small, mannish
tailored looking affairs.
And have you gone through the
stores trying to find one? If so you
have been unsuccessful. For the hat
is so exclusive that not even the most
fashionable milliners-those at David
sons, Mrs. Georges O'Ferrall, or Miss
Edmonsons have them.
New York's Fifth avenue is stamp
ed indelibly, even if invisibly, all
over the hats-so simple, SO unosten-
tatious, therefore, so expensive.
But it remained for a mere man to
discover the secret of their origin
and a small, snub-begrimed, ungram-
| matical man at that.
T. 1t was Tony, the bootblack, who
made the discovery, Let Tony con,
