Two Bremens CAPTURED.

NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-The New York
World prints story which it declares
originated from a British source of
unquestioned reliability, saying the
English have captured two German
merchant submarines named Bremen.
The Worlds informant stated that
third Bremen is now its way to the
United States, and that the Germans
hope by continually sending out Bre-
mems to finally get one undersea boat
Of that name through the British cor
don.
The Bremen is. declared to have been
caught in the Straits of Dover and
because Of being so firmly ensnared
in British nets, remained under wa
ter two days, five of the crew being
suffocated when the ship was finally
raised. Important documents are said
to have been captured on board the
first Bremen, which now lies at Chat
ham but details of the taking of the
second Bremen are unavailable accord
ing to the story printed in the World.

STORM DID NOT.
Do MUCH DAMAGE
ALONG THE GULF

MOBILE, Ala, Oct. 19-With the
hurricane which swept southern Ala
bama and western Florida yesterday
subsided, a reckoning shows the dam
age sustained is comparatively small.
The total property loss in Mobile and
Pensacola, both of which cities felt the
full force Of the wind, probably will
not exceed more than 100000, with one
death reported in each city.
The storm swept over the United
States as far north of the state of In
diana today, decreasing in intensity as
it travelling inland. The wind moved
rapidly north last night and again in
an easteriy direction with increasing
force, the local weather bureau stated
this afternoon.

Courts Kill Two
Thirds of Time

MACON, Ca, Oct. 19.-"I observe
that about two-thirds of the time of
all courts in this country are wasted"
remarked Judge Wallace w. Lambdin,
in the United States court here. No
body in particular is to blame, but as
il costs about two dollars per minute
to operate this court, l trust that the
attorneys for the government and for
he defendants will eliminate as far as
possible all irrelevant matter in the
trial of all cases and get down to the
facts as quickly as they can. Of
course, the court wants to do justice
to all parties concerned, but must in
sist on cooperation from the members
of the bar"
There was no special occasion for
the remarks, according to Judge Lamb.
din, but only desire upon his part to
dispatch the business of the court. He
is holding both morning and afternoon
sessions and is rapidly clearing the
dockets. Judge Lambdin will be here
until November 10, or later, and by
that time hopes to have every case
pending tried.

Leak Is Found
For Press Gang

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. ia press re-
port has leaked by the official censor
of the governors office. Dependable
report last night had it that Gov. Nat
E. Harris had appointed, even though
he has not yet signed an executive
proclamation to that effect, st. Elmo
Massengale, of Atlanta, to fill the place
on the Western and Atlantic commits
sion made vacant by the death of Jud-
son L. Hand, of Pelham.
The same report has it that the only
other of the several names presentec
which was given any serious consider
alton was that of John T. Boifeuillet,
father-in-law of F. r. Jones, designat-
ed official spokesman for the COVER
nor.
Mr.. Jones announced today that
there was nothing of importance from
the governors Office and that there
was no development in the Western
and Atlantic matter, but later an
nounced that the governor had deter
mined who he will appoint and is only
Withholding the name for the present.

SERBS CAPTURE
TOWN AND ALLIES
HOLD THE GAINS

Despite notably unsettled conditions
III Greece, which apparently had a ten
dency to delay determined pushing
OF the Entente offensive operations uEp
the Macedonian front, fresh successfuK
attacks by French and Serbian troons
in that sector are reported in today4S
official statements.
The Paris statement announces a.
Serbian victory in the Cerna river re-
gion, southeast of Monastir, and the
retaking of Brod, which the BulgarfanR
recently re-occupied after having been
driven out by the advancing Serbs.
Delayed dispatches from Sofia de-
clare the Serbian attacks in the Ger
ma river sector failed of success.
Much interest attached today to pos-
sible developments in the Vardar re-
gion in the center of the MacedoniuA
front. Last nights Paris announce
ment that hostile trenches west of thn
Vardar had been penetrated to deufaa
of a quarter of mile indicated tl,e
possibility that heavy Entente oTeu-
sive was to be extended there.
The French in the west are pursuing.
closing-in operations on the Perourse--
Somme front, and reported further aa-
vances today.
The Bucharest statement late this
afternoon announces the Rumanians
are driving the Teutons back at sev-
eral points in Transylyania.
Interest in the Balkan theatre OF var
was aroused today by the announce
ment from Paris that Serbian troops
had stormed and captured Brod, a VIZ
lage near the western end of the MAGE
donian front, where there has been a.
lull in heavy fighting during several
days.
Early today no authentic informatioR
concerning events in Pennsylvania Was
available, though indications are thar
Teuton armies there are resisting the
Rumanian offensive effectively, and
that little progress is being made by
the Russo-Rumanians under command
OF King Ferdinand near the Rumanian,
Transylvanian-Buk border.
The French war Office statement
claims further advances made IasG
night between Biaches and LaMoison--
cite, on the Somme front, where con-
tinuous fighting is in progress an or
Wednesdays gains have been held by
the French, despite desperate counter
attacks.
The Berlin war Office announces
TIE storming of strong Russian posi-
tions near Herbutox, in Galicia. Brit
ish and French attacks on the Somme
front are declared by the same state
ment to have failed.
