SHIP WINS IN THRILLING
BATTLE WITH SUBMARINE
British Steamer Badly Batter
ed, but Her Guns Hold Off
UnderSea Craft
(By Associated Press. }

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, Sept. 27.-The
British steamer Antinous, which left
here early today after taking on bunker
coal, had narrow escape from destruc-
ton by a German submarine when off
Algiers, en- route to New York, via Gil
braltar and Newport News. The Anti
nous was badly battered up by shell
fire from the U-boat and only the TWO
guns carried by the steamer. by keeping
the undersea craft at a distance too
great to fire a torpedo, enabled her to
escape. A large portion of the Antinous'
bridge was shot away, one shell pene-
trated the bunkers and another struck
just over the boilers. Minor damage
was done to several other parts of the
vessel.
Captain Fishwick said his two guns
had a range of three miles, as against
the five-mile range of the submarine 5
guns, and this difference allowed the
U-boat to fire on him without his be-
ing able to successfully return it. The
three-mile range, however, was sufficient
according to Captain Fishwick, to pre-
vent the successful discharge of tor
pedo at the Antinous.
The submarine finally gave up the
chase of it's own accord, said the cap
tain.
En- route to Gibraltar to Baltimore on
the outward voyage, said Captain Fish
wick, an enraged sailor stabbed the
boatswain to death. The sailor was sem
fenced to five months in Jail when tried
at Gibraltar, and the captain was severe
lv reprimanded by the court for giving
the sailor an opiate to quiet him down
after the killing.

MACON. Ca, Sept. 26-J. r. Smith, of
Atlanta. temporary chairman of the state
democratic convention, which met here
this morning, in his keynote speech, was
liberal and enthusiastic in his praise of
President Wilson and the Democratic ad-
ministration. He met all expectations.
1t had been expected that he would be
chairman of the resolutions and plat
form committee, and those who knew
him were confident that If he were given
this place he would introduce resolu-
tions of unqualified Endorsement of
President Wilson and his administra-
ton.
Mr.. Smith was not maze chairman of
the resolutions committee, but in his
speech as temporary chairman he sound
ed a thoroughly Democratic note, anS as
a member of the resolutions committee
he stood for a platform which would be
an unlimited and unstinted Endorsement

"At this hour and In this generation,
more history is being written in blood
than during any previous period In the

determine with any degree or certainty,
how or when the world shall get back
upon a normal basis. There are so many
things for which the American people
can be profoundly grateful in this day
of stress, it would be difficult for us to
frd words with which to give adequate
expression of our gratitude.
To-day we are at peace with all the
nations of the earth and yet, we dare
not boast, for we cannot tell what To-
morrow shall bring forth.
TRIBUTE TO MR.. WILSON.
History will say that the guiding
genius who heads our national organi-
cation. of which we are a part, has done
more for the preservation of civilization
than any man who has yet lived
I'VE have met here chiefly for the pur-
pose of ratifying the nomination of the
Hon. Hugh NJ. Dorsey, whom the Demo
Gratis of Georgia have chosen as their
standard bearer and leader, and by this
act we are adding to the strength of the
Democratic organization of the nation
The Democratic party, under the pow
erful leadership of the Hon. woodrow
Wilson, the most fearless statesman yet
appearing upon the political horizon
since the days of Washington and JEFF
ferson, has given to the country, in ad-
dition to peace and prosperity, the most
wholesome laws ever written upon our
statute books; laws that the enemies of
the party dare nor challenge in their
canvass of the country for support:
laws which they, for forty years, stead
lastly refused to give to the country;
laws that have released the country
financially, and made it possible for
every man in every line of endeavor to
pursue his business without the slight
est chance of being 'squelched' by the
financial sharks who controlled the
money market of this country before the
Democratic party wrenched 1t from
them.
SQUARE DEAL FOR PEOPLE.
THE enemies of our party, in the face
of all the facts. will find 1t difficult to
convince American people that they have
not been given a square DEAL and
given the highest degree of representa-
ton at home and abroad by the Demo
cratic party.
Reinforced in this state by the cleo
ton of one of her most fearless and
loyal Democrats, Hugh Dorsey, as our
leader, Georgia will stand, as she has
always stood, resting squarely upon the
principles of the Democracy that has
preserved her and brought her through
the fights and given her the position
she now occupies in the hearts of the
American people"
