SUBMARINE SINKS
FRENCH WARSH|P;
1888 MEN LOST
Dreadnaught Courbet Torpedoed
by Austrian Craft.
SINKING BOAT is RAMMED
Sister Vessel, Also Hit by Missiles,
Tries to Aid CoGrbet,
But Sends II to
the Bottom.

Berlin, (via wireless to Sayville),
Jan. l2.-Again the submarine has
proved the master Of the dreadnaught
and the pride of the French navy,
the dreadnaught Courbet, one OF
Frances only four warships of this
class, lies at the bottom of the Medi-
terranean after an attack by the Aus
TRAN submarine No IL.
The Courbet, only year old and
Of 23,500 tons displacement, is the
second largest warship sunk since the
war began, the British dreadnaught
Audacious having been larger by 1000
tons.
The Courbet had a complement OF
99S men, all Of whom are believed to
have gone down with the ship. After
the attack by the submarine, the
dreadnaught's sister ship, the Jean
Bart, tried to tow her to port, and
during her maneuvering the Jean Bart
rammed the Courbet. With her COM
partments already filled by the blow
from the torpedo, the huge vessel
could not withstand the added blow,
and sank.
Vienna Tells Of Success.
News Of the sinking of the Cour-
bet come in the following statement
given out by the official press bu-
reau:
Vienna reports state that 1t has
been ascertained that the French
dreadnaught Courbet was hit by the
Austrian submarine No. ~. The Cour-
bet was rammed by her sister ship,
the Jean Bart, which was attempting
to tow her. The Courbet sank. The
Jean Bart afterward locked at Nal
ia. The French pretend that only the
Jean Bart was slightly damaged, con-
cealing the loss of the Courbet."
While no date or locality was men
toned in the official statement, it is
believed here that the engagement
was that which took place Oh Deem
Der 81 in the Otranto channel, east
of the heel" of Italy.
The Courbet, bdilt at a cost of $12,-
100000, carried 12 134.inch guns in
her six turrets, and had a speed of
II knots. She also carried "a 5.6-inch

Columbia, S. c., Jan. 12.-With a
sweep of his pen Gov. Coleman Liv-

militia of South Carolina out of ex-

The order disbanding the National
Guard is effective Immediately. AID.

eight months ago from the chief of

Officers of the guardsmen took
steps to prevent complete disor-

week, would rescind the order.

to have the war department delay ask
ing the return of 100000 worth of
supplies issued the National Guard.
Differences between the governor.
the militia and the war department
over organization and equipment of
the troops were given by Blease as
the reason for his action.
The official order said it would be
unjust and unfair on the governor s
part to turn over to his successor in
Office the militia In its present condi-
ton"
Adjatant General Moore will go to
Washington to confer with war de.
partment officials on the situation.
At Odds With United States.
Governor Blease and the war de.
partment have long been in a contro-
versy over the National Guard, and
at one point Secretary Garrison with
held the federal aid provided by the
Dick law because, the department
commended, the state troops were not
up to required efficiency and because
the war department records showed
losses of government property.
Blease will end his second term as
governor on January 10.
He has turned convicts out of the
penitentiary as fast az the police and
judges could put them in. Only few
days ago he signed a blanket pardon

about one thousand felons.
AS an added thriller" the blanket
pardon was signed with red ink, and
when informed that estimates of the
total number to whom he has extend.

Refugees who have arrived at Bergen
OpZoom from Brussels, says the
News Van Den Dag, report that a
great fire has broken out at the former
Belgian capital.
German Line PerlIed.
London, Jan. 12.-Fighting of a des-
perate character is going on in the
center of the Franco-Belgian battle
line, notably northeast of Scissors,
which, through bombardments, seems
likely to suffer the fate of Reims and
further east in the vicinity of Perthes
and Beausejour.
From these points the allies have
been trying to reach the important
railway to the north, seizure of which
would cut one of the German main
arteries of communication.
The official communications of the
contending nations do not agree as to-
the outcome of recent fighting in these
areas.
Claims Of Each Side.
The allies claim to have forged
ahead from Scissors; the Germans say
these attacks have not been fruitful
and that fighting is proceeding.
The allies contend that they have
advanced north Of Perthes and still
hold the ground at Beausejour to the
north and east.
The Germans make no mention Of
fighting north of Perthes, but assert
that they have advanced east of the
village.
The Paris report says also there was
an intermittent artillery duel from the
sea to the Lys, in the region of Ypres
and in Champagne as far as Reims.
Between Reims and the Argonne the
allies bombarded the enemys first
line trenches and the shelters of the
reserves
In Alsace the French continue, by
sapping and sporadic charges, at
tempts to force their way nearer the
Rhine, but there has been snow in the
Vosges and neither side claims any
new progress.
Germanys Official Claims.
The German army headquarters
staff in Berlin issued the following:
"At Newport and at Ypres and south
thereof only artillery combats have
taken place. A French attack at Bots
selle, northeast of Albert, failed COM
pletely.
North of scissors the French, who
had established themselves in a small
section of our outer trenches, attacked
afresh, but so far they have gained
no successes. The battles continue.
East of Perthes our troops have re-
which the enemy had taken"

people given? What has it done to
increase the volume of knowledge?
