SUSSEX DESTROYED
BY GERMAN TORPEDO
United States Now in Gravest
Situation Since Outbreak bOf
the European War
EXPECTED TO DISANOW
No step Will BE Taken Until German
Government Presents Its Side of
the Case.

Washington, April 6.-Report of
American naval attaches saying met
al fragments found on the camel
steamer SUSSEX bore distinctive
markings showing them to be parts
of German torpedo, and dispatches
telling of scores of submarine at
tacks on neutral and other unarmed
merchant ships within the last two
weeks were studied at conferences
to-day between President Wilson, Co
lionel House and members Of the
cabinet
The reports are as conclusive
proof that the Sussex. while carry
ing 25 American citizens, was at
tackled in violation of solemn, reit-
Grated assurances Of Germany. With
this fact apparently established, it is
< nerally conceded that the United
States is confronted by a situation
more grave than any which has aris-
en- since the outbreak OF the war.
II was said authoritatively again
W 'N'i'' hON'Ntl, ludJ HO ueIlnlte
step will be taken until Germany
has replied to inquiries in the cases
Of the Sussex, Englishman. Manches-
ter Engineer, and Eagle Point. Word
from Berlin is awaited. not so much
because Information is wanted. as to
sive Germany an opportunity to say
what will be done about it.
In view Of the evidence collected
it is confidently believed in manv
quarters that Germany will admit
the attacks on the Sussex, and un-
official dispatches from Berlin have
indicated that such an admission un-
doubtedly will be accompanied by
disavowal and offer of reparation.
1t was reiterated to-day that be-
fore any step leading to rupture Of
relation with Germany was taken the
president would go before congress
with the facts. The cabinet will
meet tomorrow and will have before
II all information available regard
ing the Sussex and other vessels.

SENTIMENT FOR
CATAWBA COUNTY
Men Behind Move Believe There
Is No Possibility OF Failure
PETITIONS IN CIRCULATION
Contcmp.ates Carving Out Portions
of York, Chester and Fairfield
For the New County

special TO me. state:
Rock Hill, April 5.-The move
ment for the formation Of a new
county ith Rock Hill as the county
seati has reached such proportions
that The leaders in the movement
believe there is no possibility of
failure in connection with the mat
ter They say that if overwhelming
sentiment among all classes counts
for anything, Catawba county will be
carved out of portions of of York.
Chester and Fairfield.
Petitions asking Gov. Manning to
call Il new county election have been
circulated throughout the territory
which it is proposed to include in the
new county. and these petitions have
been signed by 95 per cent. OF the
white men above 21 years of age in
the territory. The number signing
would have besI larger but for the
fact that those circulating the peti-
tionS were unal L. to see some of 81,
citizens. The number of citizens who
declined TO sign the petitions could
almost be counted on the fingers of
two hands.
AS far as The States correspond
ent has been able to ascertain after
diltgent inquiry, public sentiment Is
practically unanimous in favor of the
new county in the proposed new
county territory. The most conser-
vative leaders in the movement say
that unless there is a change of SEN
timent between this time and the
election, the vote for Catawba will
be unanimous. and it is not believed
that any Of the handful of citizens
who declined to sign the petitions
will go to the polls and vote against
the proposition. With this over
whelming public sentiment in favor
of the new county. the people living
within its bounds declare that there
is nothing which can prevent the
creation of Catawba county.
The leaders in this movement. who
are some scores of the leading citi-
zens of. the new county territory in
each Of the old counties. announce
that they have entered the fight to
win.
Ii formed. the new county will be
composed OF the eastern sections OF
York, Chester and Fairfield coun-
ties. II will include territory COW
ering something like three townships
in eastern York; a smaller amount
of territory in eastern Chester. and
in Fairfield a section of about as
large as the section OF York which
it is proposed to cut off into the
new county.
1t is claimed that this will form
one OF the most populous and wealthy
counties in the state. The popula-
tion will be 10000 or more: and il
is said that the assessed value Of
taxable property will amount to close
to $1O,O0O,000. The promoters
claim that the taxable values. per
square mile, will be the greatest Of
any county IN the state, except Char
lesion and Richland. On account of
the wealth of the new county the
promoters claim that ample money
for all purposes can be provided
with low tax rate and that the
per capita for the maintenance of
schools will be increased.

Nebraska In Aneisn. Days.

Tn late tertiary times what is now
 Nebraska was n low lying and swampy region. covered with vegetation similar to that now growing in most climates much farther south. Camels and la mas were abundant. and during the pliocene epoch great ground sloths and xlypiodonts. whose relatives now live in south America, inhabited western Nebraska. Mastedens with tusks on both the upper and lower jaws. much like those of the mIocene epoch, still persisted. Short legged rhlnoceroSes re malnea abundant. aud there was a great variety of woltlike earnivora. Saher toothed tigers and true cats, some of them considerably larger than the modern tigers. were also abundant. Three toed horses were still numerous. but the modern genus equus was not among them One of the most curious animals of the time in Kansas and Nebraska was gopher-like rodent that had two large horns on his nose. Its enormous claws indicate good hnrrow- ing powers, and its horns also may have been used in digging.

LAST DITCH.

Rev. John S. Wilder, pastor of the
South Side Baptist church. of Savan-
nah, who is the captain chaplain of the
First Georgia regiment in a state
ment yesterday, said:
81 am sorry that conditions have
so presented themselves that it is
necessary for the boys to go into
mobilization and possibly to the Mex
lean border. AS the chaplain of the
First Georgia Regiment l served
them in the time of peace and now
that they are now called to protect
and defend their country I expect to
be with them to the last ditch.
"The First Georgia Regiment has
as splendid a set of young men as
there is in the United States and as
well equipped and efficient officers as
there is in command of any army.
my church two months ago gen
erously gave me a leave of absence
from the time the president should
issue the call until we returned home.
This was done at my suggestion look
ing forward to my having to go with
the boys.
REV. Oswald Smith, theological
student at Mercer University, will
supply for me until September or I'M
til / return in the event | shall return
earlier than that date.
"As chaplain of the First Georgia
Regiment | want to ask the prayers
of every Savannahian, in behalf of
the boys and myself in the event we
leave"
