Need Of Constructive Legislation.

just before the European war broke
out we had million skilled mechan-
les out of work and nearly half mil
lion railroad men were idle, together
with nearly half a million freight cars.
The railroads were suffering from
lack of freight to carry to market, and
industry was gradually becoming
stagnant. In Louisiana two hundred
thousand acres of sugar land were
plowed up because of Democratic
changes in the tariff law. 1t is gen
orally conceded by all save the blind
that the country was not progressing.
Attempts were made to keep courage
up by the predictions made by Secre-
taries McAdoo and Redfield and Presi-
dent Wilson of the great trade booms
which were soon to appear but which
failed to materialize until the outbreak
of war on the continent.

tendent Of Education Of Alabama and
Is thoroughly conversant with farm
Ing and economic conditions in the
South and also with the needs Of the
farm boys In whose behalf the club
work Is being conducted. Mr.. Hill

better farming methods, soil improve
ment and financial profit.
Rev. Il. S. Trhesdale who was pres

We went forward and saw the entire
forward part of the ship, including
part OF the bridge and the forward
mast, gone.
Some men and women jumped
overheard at once and we threw over
RATS and seats to them. We then
went to help the women into the
lifeboats and afterwards to help the
wounded out of the debris. We saw
at least Is severely wounded and
helped with five ourselves. Among
these. were DR.. Penfield and Miss
Baldwin.
Altogether six boats were launched,
Cne OF these capsized with it's pas
sengers. We supposed 25 or 30 peo-
pie We're lost in this boat. We low
hfed one boat ourselves. OF the re-
manning five boats, three were filed
with passengers and standing off 100
yards. OF the other two, one was
nearly full of water and contained
only five men. We did not see the
sixth boat. We know of only three
Americans who got into the lifeboats.
Mr. and Mrs. Baldwin and Miss Bald
win.
After ten minutes Of watching we
decided that as the snip was apparent
ly not sinking. we would stay with
her. After the small boats had been
standing by for an hour they were
hailed and the people brought back
on board. About dusk a sailing vessel
three miles away which had been
standing by for some time was signal
ed by rockets and waving of blankets.
At least so exploded rockets and
colored flares were sent up. but the
ship continued her course and disap-
peared In the distance. The wireless
remained intact though the operator
said 1t was very difficult to receive be-
cause the forward mast was down and
the antennae were lost. The boilers
remained intact as we could see the
steam from them and the electric
lights burned until we left the ship.
AT 1880 q French steamer came up
and took off the women and children
and half the men and Miss Baldwin,
who was unconscious. Then four or
five boats came up and we with the
remaining passengers were taken on
British ship. With us there were
seven wounded. Ave men and two wo-
men, One man died on the way to
England. Five dead were left on the
hulk but apparently no Americans
among them. We arrived in England
at $3.50 a. m. and the wounded were
transferred to a nearby hospital.
Tho first officer Cat least q COM
missioned ofilcer) Of the rescuing
British ship told us that the captain
Of the Sussex reported to the captain
OF the British ship that he saw clear
Iy tho wake OF a torpedo. He ported
his helm hard and in few seconds
longer would have escape it. No
life belts were given to the passen-
gers and we found them with great
difficulty after the explosion. In our
opinion. the explosion occurred about
90 feet from the bow and apparently
ON the otarboard side. We solemnly
swear that the above statement is true
70 the best Of our knowledge and be-
licf."
