 The crossing at Ram was less ex- pioneers, as=was the case at Belgrade. suffered the most, but one considerable detachment of troops landed without losing a man killed and having only three or four wounded. The Ser bians, completely fooled by sham ma noeuvers at other points along the Hungarian shore, were looking for the main crossing at Orsova, where they can concentrated most of their avail able troops.
 The crossing at Orsova, which took place a few days later. met no serious opposition. The Serbians had g. com pany on the Island of Ogradina, but their fanking fire was intellectual. On the Serbian shore they were surprised completely, and the pontoons had nearly reached the bank before they. were fired on. German officers said that a. halfway adequate enemy force could have either stopped the cross ing entirely or else made8it terribly costly. As it was, five battaHons were brought across with the loss of five dead and seven wounded. Tie crossing was the work of untried Landsturm men, who had been em- pIoyed as Communication troops. The Serbians used neither artillery nor machine-guns to hinder the crossing. They lost 12O men and three officers in captured.

DANUBE CROSSING MASTER STROKE
 OF THE GERMANS
Accomplished Without Loss of Life Through Sham Ma noeuvers of. Artillery and Expert North Sea Naviga= tors.

Orsova, Hungary, Jan 11.-When- ever the Germans have a task to ac- .complish, whether in military or civil life, they hand it over to experts at the work in question. That explains why the crossing of the Danube at Ram was placed in the hands of so1- diers from the North Sea coast, who were brought through three Kingdoms because no other men in the Central Powers were so thoroughly fitted to cope with the conditions that existed here. N
 Ordinarily heavy storms do not kick up an ocean like surf on a river, es- peciaI1y at points where the river is less than a third of a mile wide, as it is at Ram t660 yards), but it occurs there nevertheless. The sailors of the Danube declare that of alls the winds that blow, no other fs of pre- cisely the same character as the storm which they call the -.kosava,'' It blows from below upwards" ]" scurry- ing across the surface of the water and then twisting skyward, raising big waves and producing a surf of really respectable proportions. Even the larger craft are much indonvenienced by 1t, and small boats have no place on the river when it breaks.
 To meet these conditions, the Ger man commander summoned a de- ltacahrnent of German pioneers from the North Sea Most of them were born and brought up on the water front, and were familiar with the han ding of boats in surf and high tides from their childhood With them came a number of surfbOats. AS it turned out, the kosava did not set in until after the last boat load of troops

TO COME HERE
Many Kentuckians Will
Visit Florida on Hunt
ing Trip.

1t is estimated that more than
thirty members will constitute the
party of Kentuckians which is COM
ing to West Florida on December 8
to spend a week in hunting and fish
ing, as guests of the West Florida
Stock Raisers' Association.
A letter from j. l.. Godfrey, editor
Of North and South, who is in charge
of the arrangements in Kentucky, to
Secretary James F. Phillips of the
chamber of commerce, stated that 80
have already accepted the invitation,
including the governor.
1t is planned to arrange for two
houseboats to be used during the en-
tire week, as it is expected that more
time will be devoted to fishing than TO
hunting. The boats have the added
advantage of being capable of NOV
ing from place to place, affording OPP
portunity of both salt and fresh
water fishing.
1t is probable that the party will
assemble at Chumuckla the night of
the arrival, for quail supper, after
which the members will board the
houseboats, for the weeks cruise.

Board of Which Local Officer Is Member
Declares Tests Made Were insufficient

Washington, Oct. 27.-The special
board named by Secretary of War
Baker to consider machine guns for
the United States army has decided
tests previously made, by which the
Benet-Mercier gun was adopted and
the Lewis gun turned down, were in
sufficient.
A report now ready recommends
a series of exhaustive tests of a large
number of different guns, including
the Lewis.
The previous tests We're made by
the United States board of ordnance.
The Lewis gun, turned down, was the
invention of United States army
officer, Isaac Lewis, who then took
his gun to Europe, where it is doing
the most effective work of any ma
chine gun in use.
The ordnance board has been at
tackled from many sides for turning
down the Lewis gun.
Gen. Francis H. French, of the
general staff, who heads the board
named by Baker, says the board has
nothing to do with the Lewis gun
controversy.
Unofficially, everybody in the war
department is watching to see what
will happen to the Lewis gun.
"We have recommended tests of
every machine gun we can get hold
of" said Gen. French. ''We called
on all manufacturers and inventors
and advertised in the press"
sHow long will it take to make the
tests? | asked.
That depends, first, on whether
Secretary Baker approves our recon-
mendation, and second, on how long it
will take manufacturers to supply
guns for tests"
"Will the fact that the army has
adopted the Bent MERCER have any
influence on the boards conclusions 2"

and Patrol Wagon Are
Bought.

Possible.

One motor city service ladder truck
costing $3.50, and one motor patrol
and ambulance, costing $500, were
bought by the city commissioners YES
terday, after bids had been opened at
a special meeting. The city had the
pick of number of others. but the
vehicle offered by the American La
France Company, of Elmira, N. Y,
and the motor patrol and ambulance
offered by the White Compsny, of
Cleveland, o., were considered the
best for the eity's needs, and bids
from those companies were accepted.

and Thos. 0. Stewart, special repre-
sentative for the American LaFfance
Company, presented the claims of the
fire apparatus. Mr.. Stewart sold the
motor fire truck to the city last year,
and the excellent service which that
truck has so far rendered entered into
the selection.
Mr.. Stewart said that he was al

but thought that delivery could De

was of the opinion that the motor
J patrol would be ready for delivery NOT
later than the first of the year.

returned to the three unsuccessful
bidders by the clerk after the bids

CHILDRENS' DAY Is
A HUGE SUCCESS

Hundreds of people throughout the
fair grounds Friday, looked at the
agricultural EXHIBITS, studied the cat
tie, and watched the races. 1t was
children's day, and it looked as if all
the children in the city we're there.
The forty-two canning club girls.
blooming like roses, and in their trim
uniforms, were the objects of admira-
tion on all hands.
In another part of the building
were the bright faced youngsters of
the corn and pig clubs, receiving
their prizes and listening TO the story
of our agricultural possibilities, and
how the tests so far have shown that
hogs are raised cheaper in Escambia
county than in any other part of the
State.
Then too there were the boys and
girls of the city schools, whose
shrieks of delight filled the air on
every hand.
For awhile it looked as If that
girls potato race never would get
started. You take teaspoon and
put a potato on it, and If you have
seen the monster potatoes that Es-
Gambia county raises, you know this
is job. The girls were simply so
full of laugh that they couldn't keep
the potatoes on the spoons long
enough to get started. Finally they
got away, and such q shouting, such
scurrying, such a falling Of pota-
toes, you never saw.
Then the. sack race for the boys,
finally won by the smallest kiddie Of
the bunch. Somebody told him be-
fore he started that one of the bigger
boys might jostle him and knock
him down, so he took the lead on the
first three jumps-and stayed there
that's how he won the race.
Such a bunch of children-such a
fine looking bunch surely was never
gotten together IN one set of fences
since the world began. There were
big boys and little boys, big girls and
little girls, fat. boys and lean boys
and freckled boys; there were pretty
girls and girls that were prettier;
there were young girls and younger
girls; there were blondes and bru-
nettes and chataines; and they romp-
ed about the grounds and hung on
the fences and rode the merry go
round and consumed remarkable
quantities of candy.
/ And their parents were just as bad
maybe worse.
To conclude the day there was a
regular aurora borealis of fireworks.
Oh, it was q great cay, and just
think! there is going to be q whole
week more Of it.

destroyer is missing, another was
disabled and ran aground.
