million dollar cargo and take aboard
for the return trip metal and rubber

he brought from Germany
to Counsellor Haniel Won SaimhaUsen,
of the German embassy and delivered
his papers to the office of the North
German Lloyd.
The submarine was examined by
the surveyor of the port and an agen;
of the department of justice. These
officers, as well as the customs and
quarantine inspectors, said that there
was no sign of armament aboard, anc
there was no doubt but that the shiT
is entitled to the status of an ofdi
nary merchantmen.
Captain KONG told of his trip from
Helgoland and denied that he haC
been chased by enemy cruisers. HI

By AssocIATEp PRESS.

London, July 10.-The French
south of the Sonlne have advanced
to within about mile of Peronne, the
objective of their drive. They have
occupied Hill No. 81, which COM
mands the Somme southeast of
Biaches.
Desperate fighting between the
British and Germans at Trones wood,
on which the Germans launched six
attacks, caused the Germans to oc-
cupy a small portion of the wood. The
British gained in the vicinity of OWL
lers and Laboiselle, and also in the
Manetz wood. German artillery has
been bonbarding the Verdun posi-
tons heavily, but no infantry attacks
have been attempted.
Russians are still pressing toward
Kovel, in Volhynia. Petrograd says
the Russians have crossed the Stok-
bod river in several places in the face
of strong German opposition.
In the Dvina sector and near Ba-
ranovichi, the Germans are deliver
ing strong counter attacks.
Fighting between the Austians and
Italians continue, Vienna reporting a
repulse of the Italian Alpine forces.
British forces under General SHUTS

Interesting Figures From

NOT TRUE THAT
INSTRUMENTS BROKE

That the wind velocity of July 5,
1915, was the greatest ever recorded
in Pensacola, is proved by the ac-
companying figures compiled by OBJ
server Reed.
The wind last Wednesday attained
a velocity of 104 miles an hour, while
the highest reached during the storm
of 1906 was 81 lies.
1t is not true that the wind record
ing instrument was broken in 1906.
1t was in 1912 that the anenometer
(wind register) blew off, not because
of excessive violence, for the wind
was blowing only "a miles, but be-
cause of loose nut, which fell off.
Observer Reeds tables also show
that the water rose three and a hall
feet higher in 1906 than last week.

PEACE PLAN IS
DEFENDED BY.
THE PRESENT.
That Reached BY Mutual
Understanding Is Better
Than BY Force.
DEMOCRATS ARE
ABLY DEFENDED.
Mr.. Wilson Delivers Two
J Addresses During Stay
In Detroit.
BIZ ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Detroit, July 10.-President Wilson
defended the peace reached by mu-
tual understanding rather than by
force, and defended the democratic
party as friend Of business in two
speeches here today. The president
first spoke to the Worlds Salesman
ship Congress, and later to an audi
ence Of more than fifty thousand at
the Ford motor car plant. He deliv-
cred one rear platform address to-
night as his train passed through To-
ledO.
At the non-partisan luncheon at the
Detroit Athletic club, Mr.. Wilson de-
Tended the democrats. He said: al
dare say you have noticed that the
same necessity to make a living is
imposed upon both democrats and
republicans, and say you are ready
to believe that the democrats are just
as willing to make good living as
the republicans Therefore, it seems
to me to be logical that the democrats
have Just as much interest in the BUSH
ness and the prosperity Of the United
States as anybody else"
The president added that suspi-
cion was beginning to dawn that, the
average man understands the bust
ness necessities of the country as well
as the extraordinary man.
Speaking Of the federal reserve act
Mr.. Wilson said: eve succeeded in
taking credit out of the control of 8
small number of men and making Il
available to everybody who has rca
commercial assets. Even those Wht
are opposed to the at now admit i
saved the country from a ruinou
panic when stress of war came on"

Washington, July 10.-The federal

He Came. He
Spoke and He
Lost His Beer

If the law is to be evaded, it
must be done quietly, for Deputy
Marshal A. z. Dole, is a very light
sleeper. If the hero of this story
had known these facts he would
probably not have said a word, but
he didn't and he did.
And when he did Mr.. Dole heard
his soliloquy, and the boaster lost
his beer.
It happened on Santa Rosa
Island where Mr.. Dole is stationed.
Liquor is not permitted to be
brought to the island. This man
had some beer and was talking
about it.
Like a big aitch he can take
this beer away from me. 1 would
just like to see him try" This in
loud voice.
Mr.. Dole was sleeping, but it
woke him up, and he walked out on
the dock and, taking the bottle
from the man, remarked: II don't
know how they do it down there,
but this is the way we do it in the
United States"
