TWO VESSELS
COLLIDE OFF
\. !. COAST
(By Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, May 26.-The Holland
American line steamship Ryndam,
bound from New York for Rotterdam
with a full passenger list and a good
cargo of freight ON board, collided
early today with the freighter Joseph
J. Cuneo, off Nantucket Island, both
vessels being damaged considerably.
Following the collision, the Ryndam
established wireless communication
with shore stations and vessels in
the vicinity, several of the latter hur-
rying to- the assistance of the dis
tressed ships. One message received
shortly before noon stated the Ryn-
dams passengers had been transferred
to the Cuneo, together with part of
the crew of the big liner, but that none
of those on board had sustained Sc
lAOu5 INJURY.
The United States battleship South
Carolina which was among the first
vessels communicating with the Ryn-
dam by wireless, reached the damaged
ships shortly before noon and assisted
in the efforts being made to salvage
the liner. Passengers taken on
board the Cuneo from the Ryndam
were successfully transferred to the
warship soon after its arrival, and are
being brought here.
At the Offices of the Holland-Amer-
lean line late today it was announced
the Ryndam sailed from this port car
rying a passenger list of seyenty-two
persons, and crew Of two hundred.
No estimate concerning the value of
the Ryndams cargo or its contents
has been made public.

CIVIL BUSINESS
NEARLY. FINISHED
SUPERIOR COURT

The current session of Sumter su-
perior court, which began two days
ago, already gives evidence of being
one of unusual brevity, although many
cases on the civil docket have already
been disposed of by trial or otherwise
This morning Judge 2. A. Littlejohu
calledAthe criminal docket for the as
signment of cases for trial next week
The criminal docket will be taken uI
Monday morning, 31st, and probably
ten days or two weeks consumed
thereupon.
The case on Thurman VS.. the Cen
trail of Georgia Railway had been
assigned for trial this morning, but
by counsel for the
plaintiff, Mrs. E. L. Thurman, was to
the effect that a settlement had been
agreed upon. Mrs. Thurman brought
suit for large sum for personal in
juries sustained in a railway acci-
dent near Americus several years ago.
The terms of settlement were not
given out this morning.
At recent session of the court, DR..
e. L. Thurman was awarded verdict
of about $4,000 for alleged personal
injuries sustained in the same acci-
dent in which Mrs. Thurman was in
jured.
Another suit of interest assigned
for trial at this session of court is
that of Mrs. Vernie Compton against
the Seaboard Railway, growing out
of the death of her young son a year
ago. The lad, it will be recalled, was
riding his tricycle. along Finn street
when he ran into a dray team emerg-
ing from the yards of the Moreland-
Jones Co. 1t is claimed by the plain
tiff that view of the approaching dray
was obscured by billboard on prop
erty of the railway company.
The suit for damages is for some
hing like $4,000.
The grand jury was not in session
.oday, having taken a recess until
Thursday morning. That body has
finished to date all busi-
1ess presented and will soon he ready
'or adjournment.

Return to Vessel When She Fails to

(By Associated Press.


LONDON, May 26.-The American
steamship Nebraskan, Captain Greene,
which steamed from Liverpool Monday
bound for the Delaware Breakwater,
was torpedoed and seriously injured by
a submarine warships late yesterday
at point forty miles southwest of
"Fastnet, off the south coast Of Ireland,
in the Atlantic ocean. The United
States flag flew conspicuously fore and
aft when the vessel was attacked ani
every precaution had been exercised by
Capt. Green and the owners to make
the Nebraskan's nationality plain. The
identity of the attacking submarine is
unknown, though it is believed the
blow was delivered by the Germans.
After attacking the Nebraskan the
submarine was not observed by mem
bers of the crew, and evidently left
the scene travelling under water.
Calm Sea Saves Nebraskan.
A calm sea prevailed when the tor
pedo struck the Nebraskan's side and
to this fact is attributed the saving of
the American steamer. Following the
explosion, the entire crew took to the
ships boats and stood by to await re-
suits. A gaping hole had been torn
in the bottom of the big freighter, but
water-tight compartments built into
her hull prevented the flooding of the
vessel. The torpedo struck the Ma
braskan slightly forward, her fore
holds being filled completely within
thirty minutes after the attack. The
ships engines were not damaged and
the boilers failed to explode, though
within dangerous proximity of the
flooded compartments.
After ascertaining the extent of dam
age sustained, Captain Green ordered
the crew of the Nebraskan to return
to their posts and the big vessel pro-
ceeded slowly under it's own steam,
bow down and in imminent danger
of sinking at any time. No lives were
lost, there being no passengers on
board the Nebraskan when attacked,
and every member of the crew report
ing after the ship was gotten under
way following the submarines attack.
The Nebraskan when attacked was
steaming westward at high speed, but
was compelled to turn back and steam
for Queenstown by reason of the DAM
age sustained. The ship carried no
cargo, and was proceeding in ballast
TO America to receive orders.
Immediately after being struck the
Nebraskan began calling for help by
wireless, but there happened to be no
British warships in the vicinity at the
time. Browhead Station received n
wireless communication at 8 o'clock
this morning, relayed from
Crookhaven to the effect that kinsale,
ireland said the Nebraskan passed
there at II o'clock this morning, ap-
narently bound for Queenstown. The
Nebraskan, according to this informa-
tion is proceeding under its own steam
with bows down and apparently Sc

GREAT HEADWAY IN CAMPAIGN

SEPH-GERMANY CLAIMS ADDI-
TIONAL GAINS AGAINST RUS
SLAMS NORTH OF PZREMYSL
(By Associated Press,)

LONDON, May 26.-The Italian off
cial communication issued at Rome
late today indicates the Neopolitan in
vasion of Austria has been extended
until it now covers almost the whole
Austro Italian frontier, the advanced
columns of King Victor Emanuel's ar
my having pushed northward rapidly
following the declaration of hostili
ties.
Strong Italian columns, carrying
heavy artillery and in sufficient force
to maintain the positions occupied have
entered a number of Austrian towns
near the international border and TAX
en- up strategic positions of tremen
dous importance. The rapid italian
advance was was accomplished by
quick marches through mountain de-
gfiles, unprotected by Austrian troops,
the heavy artillery and supplies be-
ing transported upon specially con-
structed military transport wagons,
the existence of which was known on
ly to the members of the Italian gem
eral staff.
AS the Italian army advanced over
the mountain ranges, Austrians re
treating before the veritable avalanche
of humanity launched against the
frontier defenses, destroyed bridges
and property of every description,
leaving much of the territory occu-
pied by the Italians totally bare of
of every kind. Small guam
titles of military supplies only were
abandoned by the retiring Austrians.
Little fighting occurred between the op-
posing forces, though rear guard
clashes were frequent and sharp.
Germans Drive Russians.
From Berlin come reports of con-
spicuous successes attained by Gen |
eral Mackensen, who is directing the
campaign against the Russian north
of Pzremysl. Official German and
Austrian reports both assert the Rus
slams are being slowly driven before
the advancing Teuton hosts, and that
important territory heretofore lost to
the Slave has been permanently re-
by Mackensen's army. Details
Of alleged fighting in this region are
by the German and Austrian
officials, and Petrograd denies that
important actions have occurred dur
ing the past "a hours.
