Word from Bob Simpson has been
received by friends in Columbia, indi-
eating that he encountered some diff
ficulty.in getting started on the last
lap of his journey to the Stockholm

representatives had some trouble in
obtaining passports, which were not
forthcoming until they had produced
birth certificates and photographs and
had submitted afidavits.

AN INTERESTING LETTTR OF
LIFE AT CAMP MOORE

Special to The Herald and News.
Camp Moore, styx, July 1--we
have now been camped at Camp
Moore for more than two weeks, two
weeks of almost continuous rainfall.
Upon arriving at the station, by
way of the Southern we were formed
into marching formation and march
cd over to the place where our tents
were to be pitched, which was
distance OF one and one-half miles
from Styx.
Grubhing, that is what we call get
ting the ground clean of stumps, small
trees, ETC., was then in order and most
all of the men fell to helping get the
tent sites clean.
About 5 o'clock Of the first day in
camp there came a fearful rain storm
which brought with it a sand storm.
This delayed the work quite little
and made the midday meal, which
was then way past due, as the bank
er would say, be handed to the men
about 6 o'clock in the evening.
When night fell some OF the men
were left with no tents to cover them,
out all cheerfully made room for all
that the tents which were erected
would hold and those left over slept
on the ground some covered with
blankets, slickers and some piled up
on cots and passed their first night
in the tented city, city that had
sprung up in day, and from a barren
field there arose all manner of tents,
some round, conical, some square and
some dog tents (the little one man

Rain.

Flood conditions in the South show
marked improvement except in the
territory around Selma, Ala, the
Clanton (Ala) district and the ives.
tern tier of counties in Alabama
Rains have ceased entirely in most
places and rivers and creeks are fall
ing rapidly.
Clanton, just recovered from 2 rain
fall of IS inches, experienced another
heavy downpour yesterday, causing
more damage to crops and again
flooding the streets.
The Alabama river continues to
rise at Selma and Montgomery but
the Cahaba is receding slowly. A
government towboat was sent from
Selma to the Cahaba valley yesterday
loaded with food for the sufferers in
that section.
All streams in the Birmingham
district have gone back into their
banks after doing great damage t.
mining property.
Southwest Georgia streams are
falling rapidly and no more damage
is expected in that State.
One hundred convicts, marooned
several days at the State farm north

GERMANS ADVANCE
ON VERDUN FRONT
Undertake Strong Offensive Toward
Fort Souyille, Which They Hope
to Capture.

Fighting desperately in the face Of
determined German attacks, the
forces under Gen. Haig succeeded
Wednesday in gaining control of the
Mametz wood, which had been enter
ed the previous night by the Ger
mans. In the same region north OF
the Somme the British made some
progress in the Trones wood and re-
pulsed two heavy attacks against
Contalmaison. The Germans are re-
ported to have lost heavily in their
attacks on Trones wood.
The French and German forces
south of the Somme apparently are
resting as, there has been almost NO
activity in the region Of Picardy since
the first of the week.
Around Verdun, however, and es-
pecially on the right bank Of the
Meuse, bitter and heavy lighting is in
progress between the forces Of the
German crown prince and the French
defenders of the fortress. The Ger
mans, following up their success in
the region of the Damloup battery,
have undertaken strong offensive
toward Fort Souville, the possession
of which would strengthen their po-
sition for further advance on Ver-

TO SPEED RETURN
OF BIG SUBMARINE
To Take Good CargO-HOld Will Be
Filled With Nickel and Rubber
for Use of kaiSer's armies.

Baltimore, July 12.-That plans
were afoot to reload the supersub-
mersible Deutschland and slip her out
speedily in her return voyage to Ger
many was indicated tonight. A spe-
cial permit was obtained for contin=
uing the unloading of the vessel to-
night ar it was expected that she
would be ready by dawn tomorrow to
begin taking on cargo of nickel and
rubber.
No one in authority would say when
the vessel would depart and the only
positive statement in that connection
was contained in Capt Koenig's dec
laration to the local custom officers
that he expected to sail within ten
days" The tug Thomas F. Timmins
completed repairs today and took up
a position directly in front Of the
Deutschland. When the Timmins en-
tered dry dock it was reported that
she was getting ready to return to
the Virginia capes to convoy into the
Chesapeake, as she did the Deutsch-
land, the submarine Bremen which is
said to be four days on her way to
this country.
The air of mystery surrounding all
discussion of the Deutschland's de-
parture was tleepened today by re-
ports that her clearance papers may
not he made public when filed, thus
preventing advance notice of her
leaving being obtained.
1t became known late today that
several conferences have been held
here between the representatives Of
the Ocean Navigation company and of
the Krupp Steel company and Simon
Lake, inventor of the submarine. This
gave rise to reports that company
was in process of formation for the
purpose of carrying on undersea COM
merce between this country and Ger
many and that Mr.. Lake had been in
vited to accept the position of con-
sulting engineer.

Knicked By a Mule.

Ruby, the six year old daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Pierce Banks, was
taken to Columbia to a specialist
Wednesday morning for treatment.
The little girl was kicked in the face
bv a mule about two weeks ago but
her injuries were thought to be only
slight; later developments, however,
showed that she had been more Sc
riously injured than her parents at
first thought The child was brought
back home for treatment at present
and will be carried back to the spe-
cialist in a short time for further
treatment.

morning and carried over the shoul-
der.)
Many hardships were suffered dur
ing the first few days and lots Of the
boys longed for home and hot meals
which were fixed by mothers hands.
After the hurry and rush was over
things began to adjust themselves and
the enlisted men began to make them
selves at home, at it were, with only q
few Of them kicking about the sleep
ing quarters, food and the MANY
hardships which real soldier must
put up with.
AS general rule the officers have
been kind to the men and have tried
to do all in their power to provide
all the conveniences possible and
have helped with words of cheer and
in many ways. Many Of the captains
are sociable and try to make the
boys feel friendly toward them and
not to regard them in awe.
Drilling has been in style for the
whole time we have been here and
with the many recruits this has been
arduous and has given the officers no
little trouble but many of the new
ones are getting broken in and will
be ready to go through a regular
drill before they leave here.
The days here are spent, and they
start almost at sun up, in eating,
drilling, cleaning the tents, making
the grounds look neater and in
thousand and one things which can
be found to be done around camp.
And the men are all about to get
uniforms and will soon look like reg
ulars. New guns have been issued.
in place of the old ones which were
taken up and the men seem to take
pains with the new firearms, clean
ing them continually. The trousers
which have been issued are of brown
khaki and the shirts are of an olive
colored wool The hats are the regu-
lar service kind and each one has the
cord around according to the service
which it is used in.
Each night sees the men visiting
and enjoying the camp life joys, some
sing, some play cards while many of
them visit the several tents where
phonograph concerts are held.
Each day finds new rumor about
when the troops will entrain and the
men are getting very anxious to
either go home or else set out for the
border. 1t seems that the story here
had dampened the desire of many
to get at the Mexicans, for the life Of
a soldier, in a temporary camp like
this one is far from the most pleas
ant thing in the world, still the
hardships are borne without many
kicks, but the fact remains that every
man wants to be moving, either home
or for the border.
TIE fare is good, but being unac-
customed to such rough mess, meals
are not as much relished as if they
were better cooked and more of a
variety, but this will adjust itself
On a whole everything is running
as well as could be expected at the
camp and getting better each day.

Torrentlal Rains Cease in Alabama

Torrential Rains Cease in Alabama.
Montgomery, Ala, July Ire
ports from the various sections OF
Alabama embraced in the food area
tonight said that the torrential rains
have ceased, and but little rain has
fallen since midnight Monday. The
clearing weather has given encour-
agement that actual damage may be
minimized. So far the loss of life has
been remarkably small, and confined
to negroes. The loss to the crops OF
the State, as estimated by James A.
Wade, commissioner of agriculture,
will exceed $5,6OO,0OO.
"The crop damage IN Alabama will
not be less than from $5,6OO,O00 to
ST ,000, ,O00," said the commissioner to-
day, 'and may run as high as S14,-
000, 900. This last figure depends on
the length of time the flood waters
cover the ground and the actual ex-
tent of the damage already done in
the northern part of the State where
lowlands between the natural water
sheds are devoted to corn.
"I estimate the. damage, from re-
! ports received, at not less than 10 per
cent. to 15 per cent. Many estimates
reach me that it may go to 25 per
cent. That estimate I consider en-
tirely too high. The federal govern
ment's report last year placed the to-
tai corn yield at 7O,000,6O0 bushels.
This, at an average price of 80 cents
per bushel, totals $56,GG0,000. Ten
per cent. means a loss of $500, 900. q
TIE greatest need for assistance de-
vel0ping during the day came from
the Selma district, especially in Lake
Lanier on the Cahaba river and its
numerous small feeders. Early this
morning Selma appealed to the United
States engineering officers here for 2
boat for use in transporting the peo.
pie from the storm district and to
ave as much of their personal prof
erty as possible. The food victims
volunteered to man the boats to pro-
vide the supplies necessary in rescu-
ing the other people and their effects.
The toWboat Alabama was sent out
Immediately. The only information
reaching the engineering Office is that
many families are cut off from help
by high waters from the Alabama
and Cahaba rivers around the Selma
territory.

Holland Short of Timber.

Holland is suffering from a serious
shortage of timber for building pur-
poses, and the existing supply will be
exhausted within a few months unless
relief measures are taken, according to
the report of an association Of employ
ers and workmen in the building in
dustry, which recently met in Amster-
dam. The only hope, according to the
association, is to secure quantities Of
timber owned by Dutchmen which are
now tied up in the harbor of Arch
angel, Russia. This can be done, it
is pointed out, only by assuring the
Russian government that the timber
will not be sent out of Holland for use
in the countries now at war with Rus
STA. It was resolved to urge the Dutch
ministry Of commerce and industry to
take necessary steps for releasing the
cargoes detained at Archangel. Other
cargoes consigned to Holland are tied
up in the Russian port of Riga, but
under existing conditions there seems
to be no hope of their being released.

Burial of "GeneraI Gloom"

Sunshine has always been CalifOr-
MAS greatest asset, but often while
Old Sol shone overhead the clouds Of
gloom and depression lowered over
the heads Of financiers and other men
Of business. But all that is now over.
General Gloom" has been buried far
out to sea, and his only avocation here
after will be to investigate the con-
tents of Davy Jones' locker.
Some time ago there started from
Syracuse, N. Y, giant hammer, ten
feet long, bearing the name: Moe
no-more." This emblem of the knock
err" was destined for destruction be-
meath the waves of the placid Pacific,
and it's funeral procession across the
country was marked by the attendance
of governors, mayors and other dignl-
taries, and by the playing of many
bands and the marching of many men
as this corpse Of depression was hur-
ried through the cities on it's way west
ward.
These ceremonies finally eliminated
on Washington's birthday at San Fran
cisco in big funeral parade through
the streets, the transportation of the
giant hammer on a big ocean liner to
a point 30 miles out into the Pacific,
and the heaving of the big box con-
tanning General Gloom" into the briny
deep.
