MILITIA START

Mississippi Boys Fret Under Deten'
tiOn at Camp Taylor.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. THE latest
advices from Camp Swep Taylor today
were to the effect that the time for the
departure of the First regiment for
service farther afeld is still indefinite.
Adit. Gen. Scales stated that no one
is in a position to make definite
statement on this line; the only posi-
tive statement possible being that the
command is rapidly getting its equip
ment completed, and the men getting
licked into actual service shape.
1t is known that all of the forces,
from commanding officers down to the
last accepted dookie wants to get
irto active military service somewhere
little farther from home, and the
sooner they get away the better, as
the detention here is demoralizing To
all alike, rank and file.

BREMEN AND
AMERIKA SAFE.
Former Bound for United States, the
Latter for Brazil.

Bremen, Aug. 7.-(Via Amsterdam
The Bremen, the German trading
submarine which is due to arrive at
"some American port" is now believ-
ed to be safe within the three-mile
limit Of the shores of the United
States, and with her is the third Ger
man trading undersea boat, the Amer
ika, on her way to Brazilian port.
That these two U-boat merchantmen
are now safe from attack by war YES
sells of the allies is based on the news
dispatches which reached here today
from America stating that two sub
marines were sighted near the coast
of Maine by the captain Of the Cross
Island coast guard station.
If the Bremen representatives of
the Eastern Forwarding Company had
any word from the Bremen and the
Amerika it must have been good news,
because the same evasive reply to
questions was given out as had been
the case when the Deutschland was
first reported having arrived in the
Chesapeake Bay. At that time the
local agents Of the German submarine
merchantmen merely stated that all
they knew was that the Deutschland
was safe and an official announcement
would be made public upon her arrival
at her destined port,
Today when asked if the reports
were true that the two submarines
sighted off the Maine coast were the
Bremen and the Amerika, the answer
was that they had no official notice Of
the arrival of the two vessels ir
American waters, but they could say
that the Bremen and the Amerika
were safe. "When they arrive at theil
destination they will be announced of
ficially; until then nothing officiall!
shall be given out"
When asked if the company had re
ceived any tidings from the Deutsch
land. now on her return voyage from
Baltimore, the statement was mad
that the Deutschland was safe at SCI
and that she had eluded all warship
of Great Britain and France. Aske
lif the Deutschland, as had been re
, ported, had been in communicate
with the other two submarines, it wa
said that such might be the case, bu
, nothing further on the subject coul
be said at this time.
, The cargo of the Bremen, it is VI
Iderstood here, is very similar to tha
carried to Baltimore by the DeutscE
Hand. It is also said that this vess
lis carrying to America new Germa
cure of or preventive Of infantile pi
k ralysis. The Amerika, which is bour

o cargo, is carrying many thousant

HUGHES AFFIRMS NOTHING,
SAYS JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS
The Great Mississippi Senator Hits the Bulls Eve
in Dissecting Candidate Hughes Speech Ac-
cepting Presidential Nomination.

at any rate, the future can be permit
ted to take care of itself. He has done
all without ENHANCEMENT in the Eu
ropean war Of barbarity and insani-
ty.
Mr.. Hughes arraigns our lack of pre-
paredness-charges it all to the Dem
ocratic party and the administration.
We have appropriated the largest
! amount of money ever appropriated
in the history Of the republic for both
army and navy preparedness, or pre-
/ paration for the common defense, to
use better phrase. Again he is all
criticism and no affirmation. Does
he want to appropriate more than we
have already appropriated?
WHO LEFT US UNPREPARED?
We who are on the ground find a
great many people who are quarreling
because we have appropriated so much
for the army, though very few quarrel
about what we have appropriated for
the navy. What is Mr.. Hughes's fig
ure? How much better does he want
us to go than Roosevelt or Taft or
Mckinley?
Is he right in saying that if we
had been more resolute than Mr.. Will
son in protecting American rights it
would not have led to war with Eu-
rope? The president was resolute, did
protect American rights, and his pro-
lection has not led to war with Eu-
rope. If the European war found US
"shockingly unprepared," to use his
own language, who left us shocking
ly unprepared?" A few general words
about the Organization of peace"
whatever that means, If anything def
mite at all, seems at first blush to be
little affirmative, but it is rather
! vague.
His reference to our prosperity as
temporary" is at best an assumption
How does he know, how do you know,
how do | know? 1t seems to be pref
ty real. AS only about 10 or 20 per
cent of our exports have been mum.
/ tions of war, our prosperity cannot
be charged to the European war. Be.
sides that any man that knows any
thing knows that war anywhere or
the globe never of itself brought pros.
perity to anybody anywhere else. The
amount of legitimate trade destroyed
by it always overbalances the emer,
gency trade created by 1t.
WILSON AS A LEADER
1t is rich to hear Mr.. Hughes say
that "the president has followed, moi
led," when a whole lot of gray haired
senators at Washington are charging
him every day with having lee
too much. The truth Is that he il
about the first president since Andrew
Jackson died that has in fact led
Even Lincoln followed, as certain wal
governors learned when they wanted
immediate emancipation and various
other things.
His promise to "aid labor" and hi
promise that he will "block spoilsmen'
are only the platitudes of politics. Ev
erybody says he will before he il
elected, and great many people thinl
they will, and some few like Wilson
live up to it.
; The truth is that Wilson's admins
, tration has been almost without paral
, lei for affirmative legislation. One o

MISSISSIPPI STATE BANKS
SHOW A BIG INCREASE
Evidencing the Great Prosperity Which the PeO-
pie of the Magnolia State Are Enjoying In
Spite of the Boil Weeyil and the War.

jackson, Miss, August 5,-Secreta-
ry r. S. Hall Of the state board Of
bank examiners has just completed
the tabulatiou Of figures submitted on
call of the banking board from the
276 state banks doing business during
the past year up to June 80, 1916.
Although there was a decrease Of five
in the total resources over the 2Sl
banks as compared with the same pc
riod in 1915, there was n big increase
reporting at the end Of June, 1915.
Incidental to the summarized state
mcnt it is stated that four of the five
banks that went out of business were
purposeIy wcedcd out by the exam
iners as result of their official scru-
tiny Of their affairs. Yet so quietly
was this done and so efficiently were
the banks suppressed that few outside
the immediate circles interested were
aware of their passing, -Four years

fITelegram to Editor of N. Y. World }
Washington, Aug. IL have just
k4eceiyed your request to dissect the
EAughes speech in about thousand
words. and to give you brief COM
[ment as to how it is being received in
hVashington.
a | have been some times unjustly
<eomplmented as being fairly ingen-
sous, but | am afraid that am not in
kenous enough to be able to use a
thousand words dissecting this partic-
Mar subject. However, / will try my
best
4, How was it received, that reminds
me of historical incident. A distin-
|.guished president of the United States
iapponted a man attorney general.
THE latter concluded that he would go
hack to the old nieghborhood where he
was raised and which he left because
he could not make living, to see how
ltbe people took the news. Upon the
way, frem the railroad station to his
aboriginal village he asked them if
they knew a man by certain name,
naming himself? One of them spoke
ubats once, "Yes, he is the man the
president has just appointed attorney
general" He said, "Well, what did
the people say about it?" The reply
was. ".lThey hain't said nothing much;
they Jest laughed"
"PLATITUDINOUS REHASH.
The speech is a platitudinous rehash
Of negations and blind partisan hate.
1t "views with alarm" but it does not
point with pride" to any Republican
achievement. There is nothing posi-
lively affirmative in it except the last
part, in which Mr.. Hughes positively
accepts the nomination. There is a
long arraignment of the president be-
cause of what he has done and failed
to do in Mexico.
But the American people are await
ing anxiously yet to know positively
and affirmatively what Mr.. Hughes
will do if he should be elected pres
ident. He might have come out posi-
lively in favor Of immediate interven-
ton in Mexico. If he had done that
he would have stood at any rate upon
firm ground. Nine-tenths Of the Amer
lean people would not have approved
of his locating himself that way, but
at least he would have been located.
He did not issue a statement telling
what he would do tomorrow if he were
W Wilson'S place. That Wilson may
have committed some mistakes in
Mexico goes without saying. / ex-
pect he knows it better than Mr.
Hughes does. But it seems all OF
them turned out in the long run fairly
well, whether by accident or purpose
WILSON CALLED THE KAISER
The same thing is true about his ar
raignment of the president regarding
the Lusitania incident. The president
demanded a disclaimer and change OF
policy upon the part of the Kaiser
and the Kaiser, agreed to the change
Of policy and made the disclaimer
True, he did it after quite time ant
in rather an ungracious way, but HI
did it, which was all that was insist
ed upon

the few apparently affirmative things
in Mr.. Hughes speech is his advoca-
cy of rural credits bill. What we
have already done he advocates.
If, as Mr.. Hughes announces, dip
lomacy is prevention" Il suppose by
the way he means prevention of ca
lamity and war and all that then the
function of diplomacy under Wilson
ought to suit Mr.. Hughes. Mr., Hughes
says he doesn't understand what Will
son meant by "strict accountability"
Apparently the Kaiser did understand
lit.
| DOESN'T MEASURE UP
His speech is many words as were
ever used by any candidate for the
presidency, negation, partisan hate
and criticism, and in as few words as
any in the affirmative assertion of a
fixed position. l am absolutely sin
cere in saying that Democrats even
lwho hitherto admired the man and
rather admired the letter which he
published Immediately after he was
nominated have felt very sorry for
him on account of his incapacity to
measure up to the present situation
even from the Republican standpoint
which is rather a limited one. II
Roosevelt had been in his place and
Icould not have found an issue, he
would have made one somehow OF
Ianyway,
The only question that any Demo
Icratic stump speaker will have to ask
| in the campaign is, what does Mr.
Hughes positively propose to do abou
lanything that Mr., Wilson has not al
ready one, or which the Democratic
party has not put upon its programme
lfor future doing2"
Will he repeal the bank reserv'
tAct? Does he propose to revise tn
tariff upward again, as was done un
lder Taft's administration, to the in
finite disgust of the American people
lDoes he propose hostile programm
of slaughter of thousands of poor, il
Iliterate, ignorant, needy, starving pee
lple in Mexico? Does he propose t
take up the Lusitania matter agai
land carry it further? Does ne pre-
pose to take Mr.. Roosevelt's advic
and send an American army and nav
to Europe for the assertion of Be
Igium's rights of neutrality?
He critcises the taking of men sol
lof their peaceful pursuits and sendin
them to Mexican border?' Does /
mean by that he would repeal II

FIND BODY IN LAKE
Coroner Bulloch Brings il
Verdict of Accidental
Drowning.

Judge Oscar L. .Dittmar, who was
once mayor of Shdell and a man OF
considerable influence was found
drowned in the. lake at North Shore
last "Wednesday, October 8. He had
gone out in boat to fish, and as he
did not return his friends. went to
look for him and found his body in
the water. Coroner 'Bulloch brought
in q verdict Of accidental drowning.
Judge Dittmar had had consider
able trouble lately and was frequent
ly despondent. He was in the habit
of taking these fishing trips and was
much alone. 1t is thought he lost
ilis balance and fell overheard. He
was probably between seventy and
eighty years of age.
