 The note denies that the Sussex was attacked by a German subma- rine, the investigation covering tue Sussex case, says the note, was extended to all actions undertaken on March 2i the day of the Sussex incident in the channel between Folkestonc and Dieppe. One steamer was sunk, the commander Of the German reaching the con- clusion that 1t was a war vessel. A sketch of this vessel together with photographic reproduction of a picture of the sussex printed in the London Daily Graphic were en- closed with the note, the differ ence in the two craft being indi- cated.
 iiie steamers EngiIsiman and Eagle Point were sunk by German submarines after they had attempt ed to escape and time was allowed for the withdrawal of those on board.
 The steamer Berwindale was possibly sunk by a German subma- rine, while definite details with re- spect to the Manchester Engineer are lacking and therefore has not been sufficient basis for investiga- tion of this particular case.

SOUTH CAROLINA IN CONGRESS

congressman RagSdale, or
South Carolina, administered a |
severe and deserved rebuke to
Congressman Heating, of Coll =
RADIO, in recent speech report
ed in the Congressional Record |
While discussing the question OF |
preparedness, the Colorado Con-
gresham felt called upon to re-
fleet upon South Carolina. Mr..
Ragsda]e read from an article in
in the New York Mail in which |
occurred this reference to Colo
RADIO and the child labor situa,
ton.
Colorado is proud of the fact
that she produced more sugar
beets than any other State in
the Union. There is nothing to
be proud of in the fact that the
little hands of 5000 children
from Z to 13 years of age helped
to produce this wealth.
The work begins with thinning
the beets as their first growth
begins. Children Z and 8 do
this, bending over until their
backs must ache overwhelmingly.
All summer they hoe and weed,
and in the autumn help with the
harvest, the heaviest work of all
Some of the details given by the
committee are almost beyond be-
lief. A girl of 10 is reported to
have handled from 10 to II tons
of beets in a day"
| After reading this article Mr..
Ragsdale said:
MIR. Chairman, coming from
the State of South Carolina, and
being somewhat conversant with
labor conditions that obtain
there, I give it as my opinion
that nowhere within the boun-
daries of that State are labor
conditions anywhere near so bad

Mr.. President, South Carolina

illustrious men and may well
feel proud Of her son, Senator
Benjamin Ryan Til;man. More
than 20 years ago be was urging
the passage of bill providing
for the erection Of Government
factory for the manufacture of
armor plate, and the success
which, in my judgment. will at
tend his efforts, is an illustra
ton of the fact that an idea
which is founded in truth may
be crushed for time, but it will
ultimately triumph. 1t is given
to but few men 10 realize results
from their efforts in such great
movements as this, and the
chairman of the Com miJtee on
Naval Affairs Mr.. Tillmanl may
we'll congratulate himself
that the sentiment of the couu-
