During a sham fight which constitut-
ed part of a certain infantry bat
talion's training for the war COM
pany was told off to follow up the re-
treating enemy" For this purpose
the pursuers, who had been having
a strenuous time, had to cross a fairly
wide river, and were marched to the
nearest bridge, which was about four
miles away. Imagine their disappoint-
ment on arriving to find this notice
attached to the bridge of the ''ene-
my: This bridge is blown up" But
the officer in command of the pursuers
was a man of action, and promptly
attached a notice to one of his leading
men and proceeded to march his force
across the bridge. They had almost
crossed it, when an umpire suddenly
appeared, frantically waving his hand
and exclaiming: 1.-The bridge is blown
up; all these men are drowned" The
commanding officer made no reply, but
simply pointed to his notice, which
read: This company is swimming
across!"

Washington.-Secre McAdoo an
nounced that in view of the action OF
the Allies in putting cotton on the
contraband list he would if it became
necessary deposit $3O,00O,O00 or more
in gold in the federal reserve banks
at Atlanta, Dallas and Richmond for
the purpose of enabling the reserve
banks to re-discount loans on cotton
secured by warehouse receipts made
by national banks and state banks
belonging to the federal reserve sys-
tenn.
The gold would be deposited tenn
porarily, at least, without interest
charge. It was explained that it ap-
complished with greater efficiency
thereby, the deposits would be made
directly with national banks agree
ing to lend the money on cotton at
a rate not to exceed 6 per cent.
The announcement came at the
close of a day of speculation in Of

their contraband order.
I'm the exercise of the discretion
given to him by law" read a treas
ury statement, Secretary McAdoo
said that the government will for the
time being charge no interest on tp,se
deposits in federal reserve banks;
that such cotton is justified by the I'M
usual situation respecting cotton
caused by the European war; that he
considers it his duty to use every
available means in his power to help
the cotton producer of the south in
the circumstances; that it is matter
of economic Importance to the entire
nation that those who have produced
the cotton shall have a fair oppor-
tunity to dispose of it gradually and in
an orderly manner so they may not
be forced, through inability to market
their cotton gradually, to sell it at sac
rifice prices"

TORPEDO SUNK ARABIC.
Was Hit BY German Torpedo Without
Warming Officials Say.

Was Hit BY German Torpedo Without
Warning Officials Say.
London. - Official and unofficial
statements were made bearing upon
the precise status of the steamer
Arabic when she was sunk, the pur-
pose being to show definitely that she
was an unoffending merchant ship and
that without question she was struck
by torpedo fred by a German sub
marine.
The latter point became increasing
1y important owing to cabled reports
that some Berlin officials maintained
there was no proof that anyone saw
a submarine and the sinking might
have been the result of striking a
mine.
The foreign Office issued brief
statement summing up the facts with
in the knowledge without disclosing
all the details in it's possession. The
statement said definitely that the
Arabic was sunk by a German sub
marine without warning and without
any attempt on the part of the steam
er to attack the underwater craft or
to escape. The announcement also
declared the Arabic was unarmed,
was proceeding to a neutral port, and
therefore carrying no contraband.
The most important direct testi-
mony came from members of the
crew of the steamer Dunsley who gave
a circumstantial account Of seeing the
German submarine while she shelled
the Dunsley. They declared that dur
ing her maneuvering astern of the
Dunsley the underwater boat came so
closely into view that it was possible
to note she showed no number or dis
tinguishing mark. Later they declar-
ed she submerged and rounded the
Dunsley's stern, showing only her
periscope.
