The Sox do not lose half their bat

hurlers who take regular turns are

The Sox are well fixed for utility

The following letter which was re-
ceived some time ago by Frank E.
Harrison, Jr., will prove interesting
reading. 1t gives the German idea
Of the war.
While Mr.. Harrison was in school
in Charleston a German war vessel
spent several weeks in the harbor
and a lasting friendship was formed
between the young Lieutenant and
the Southern student.
"S. M. S." 25 ", Is.
lily dear Friend,
First, to take all fears from you,
I am we'll and sound. Indeed I got
it via Kopenhagen, but it was sent
it in Kopenhagen, but it was sent
back to me. Then I kept silence.
Now, of course, you shall have an
immediate answer. Fancy, isn't it
a shame! have not yet fought.
All work is done by the submarines,
the fleet is waiting. The English
don't come out.
The Life of a Lieutenant.
To begin with me, l was in torpe-
do school till the 9th of June 1914.
I am sure I wrote you from there
last. Ye Gods and little fishes,
what a hot time we had there. Be-
sides boating, coaching and shooting,
"a greasy and black buss) I
had plenty of golf, cycling, hockey,
a lovely surrounding country, with
forest where 1--WE were all alone"
Gee. it was a high life!
Then we came to S~onderburg, a
very North German Paradise, on
Gunnery school, and fine cycling,
sailing, swimming and rowing. There
war surpried US. After a few days
in ;Kiel, I came on my dearold train
ingfship. The old tin can was fitted
as a cruiser, and we went into the
Baltic. It was dull, no enemies,
though we knew that British sub
marines had passed through the
Sound (Kopenhagen); they did no
damage. In November I left the
ship and came on the Hanover, since
April I am on the Hessen. 1t will
be perhaps IL months until ad-
vancement, I am ensign yet (mid-
shipman with sword) besides boat.

PERFECT SUBMARINE GUNS.
American Navy Has Fine New Wea'
pom.

Washington, July IA three
inch disappearing gun for subma-
rines has been perfected by the navy
ordnance bureau, Secretary Daniels
announced today, and in future all
American underwater craft will be
equipped with these weapons for
surface fighting.
Mr.. Daniels said that within ten
days the gun and its carriage would
be sent from the ordnance factory
here to New York for mounting on
new submarine MI, under construc-
ton.
For nearly two years naval experts
have been working on a weapon for
use of submarines which would not
delay the clearing of decks for div
ing. No navy in the world has a
better weapon of the kind than the
ordnance bureau has evolved, ac-
cording to the secretary.
The new gun is shorter than the
regular three-inch navy rifle to meet
space limitations. This reduces its
range somewhat, but it has been
| fitted for high angle firing which will
give it some chance for use against
aeroplanes.
The big cruiser submarine author
lied by the last congress probably
will be armed with two or more RI
ies, possibly of four-inch calibre.
German submarines of the U type
have made effective use of mounted
! guns in the European war.

GFRMAN LIEUTENANT WRITES AN
INTERESTING LETTER TO Mr.. HARRISON

swain and III officer of the Range
finders, sunny time, not over mucn
to work; merry gun room (mess).
We were some time out in the North
Sea but never had a fight, but that
glorious "a Jan. I, only cruisers were
engaged, as you can read in the
newspapers.
I wont write so much about war
accidents in a private letter, lest it
be stopped by the censors.
Now you, you think England is in
the right, well, it is impossible, so
change your mind by n letter,
wait for the end, that is all | say.

Meanwhile, we sunk the "Lusi-
tania." an armed merchant steamer
(auxillery cruiser) whose 54oo
boxes with ammunition, to pick out,
but the main object of it's military
argo, the English tried to protect
by the bodies of American women
and children. We warned you! and
we kept our promise! do we do
more than speak the truth? Judge
frankly: dare you doubt n mo-
ment, that the English would have
acted in just the like way, if they
had the occasion to?

German Melancholy.
Boy, do you understand what 1t
means to shut ones eyes, listen to
any plantation song, or raggy music
to dream and wish to be "far, far
away" 1t is a melancholy of q
very German kind and is, l guess,
one of our best, or sure, most beau
tiful qualities. Listening to GER
tain music I can get quite sick by
vain wishes. Similar feelings I had
in churches of st. Petersburg, where
YOU can hear the most delicious
choruses of the world. But the songs
of the South captured me quite.

cept Deberry's plea of guilty until he
had appointed two attorneys to confer
with him.
