GARRETT LIBERTY
LOAN MEETINGS
Two Held Which Were Enthusi-
astic and Successful.

The campaign in Garrett county On
behalf of the Second Liberty Loan
opened last Monday morning in Oak
land, and if the progress made on that
day may be taken as an indication, this
county will do her share and more to-
ward providing Uncle Sam with funds
necessary to prosecute the present war
against Germany and her Allies to a
speedy and successful conclusion.
Mr.. W. 7. Childs and Capt R. Full
Ter Shryock, Of Baltimore, arrived in
Oakland Monday morning from State
Liberty Loan Headquarters in that city,
and after making the rounds of the
banks and business places, getting
acquainted and making arrangements
for the meeting held that evening, left
early in the afternoon for Kitzmiller,
where they addressed an enthusiastic
meeting, resulting in subscriptions
amounting to $22, 600, with the promise
of more to follow.
The Oakland meeting was scheduled
for s o'clock that evening and a large
crowd gathered in the Maryland
Theatre at thc appointed hour 10 hear

NON-COMS AMONG
CARRETT'S BOYS
Several Have Been Appointed
COrporals and Sergeants.

Last Saturday, the 18th, looked upon
day as being ore of ill-luck, was the
opposite for several of Garrett county s
soldier boys now in camp at Camp
Meade, and these boys are attached
also to the 313th Regiment, Company
G. Of which Claude B. Sweezey is the
commander. On Saturday the officer
announced the appointment of men
who had been selected for promotion to
corporals and sergeants.
Those lads still at home who will be
sent to Camp Meade with the next
quote should not loose heart, however,
as they too will have an opportunity
for promotion. Not all of the nom
commissioned officers have been select
ed and the lists will not be completed
until after all of the men have been
placed at the camp and assigned. Then,
too, there will always be room for pro
motion, for no time is lost in reducing
non-com. who does not make good.
The fortunate ones of the Garrett
county soldiers who were appointed as
non.coms by Saturdays order were:
To be serGe John w. Liven-
good and Charles Milton Sincel. To
be Corporals, Hugh C. Mcmahon, AL
bert G, Middleton, Paul K. Liston and
William C. Stanton.

atrociti IS committed by German Of
ficers and their men during the war,
bringing home the fact that all this
might possibly have happened to this
country, unprepared as we were for
war, and closing with feryent appeal
to those present to do all in their power
to help finance the government in tbs
great struggle for liberty. A pleasing
featul e of Mr.. Child address was a
l)cal incident of which he spoke. He
said that making the rounds of the
stores in town that morning he m a
young son of German parents, who had
saved $50 out of the pay his father
allows him for his work in the store. He
invested $4,000 of this amount in a
Liberty Bond, instructing his banker to
apply the balance as part payment for
similar bond for his sister. Mr..
Chiljs ca led attention to the fact that
this incident could not be duplicated in
all Baltimore, and he doubted if its like

wood, were in this county and went
over the Memphis to-Bristol Highway
to ascertain its condition and needs
looking to the expenditure OF the $500
due this county from the state auto

been recommended and 1t IS probable
that the county machinery for road up
keep will be put to work. in conjunc-
ton with the County Road Commas

The road east of CrOssville IS said to
be IN very fair condition but west it
has been badly cut up by wagons haul

Maryland development.
Deal Closed Today for Several Thousand
Acres for Mining and Farming.

A deal is expected to be closed today
whereby a Nashville company will take
over several thousand acres of the w.
Cooper estate lands at Maylend. The
deal has a two-told purpose: Mining
and farming. There are several open
lngs on the property that show the Sc
vance vein IN such quantities as to
render mining safe proposition and
it is probable the Nashville people will
develop at an early date.
There Is an extensive artificial lake
on the property and for some years
movement has been on foot to make it
a summer resort for Nashville and
other wealthy people. 1t Is also to be
considered as a farming proposition, as
practically all the land lays in such a
way as to render farming entirely
feasible.

GOOD ROADS CONVENTION,
MANY Cars Will Pass Through Cross

Way to Nashville.

The Appalachian Good Roads Con-
vont;on will meet in Nashville next
week, October Is 10. Many auto own

and logically many will 60 in their cars
over the Memphis-to- Bristol Highway.
Part of the Memphis o-Bristol
Highway IN this county, we ar toio'
IL in bad shape IN some places from
having been badly cut up by tie teams.
If that be true, and it probably is, 1t
would be an excellent thing tor the
Road Supervisor to get busy at once
with the county road machine and fill
in the rutg, round up the grade ana put
the highway in the best shape possible
before these men from East Tennessee
mass over 1t on their way to the capitol
city.
We understand that one of the main
objects of the Nashville meeting is to
see il federal aid cannot be secured for
the Memphis to. Bristol with view to
making it what it should be and keep
ing 1t in a good and passable condition.
Such an event would most certainly do
much in a business way for Crossville
and Cumberland county. 1t is incum-
bent upon the road officials OF this
county to take every step within their
mower to render the road the biggest
possible business bringer tor this sec
tiop. When 1t is remembered that
some SEQ, 600 have been spent upon the
Memphis to- Bristol Highway in this
county and that all the time we have
been told 1t will bring heavy traffic
this way and incidentally much bust
ness, the people are naturally looking
to see the increased travel and feel the
affects of that promised business.
For men bent on urging funds for
this great through highway to find 1t
difficult to pass over it, because team
STEERS have cut it up and the County
Read Commission has not made rea-
sonable effort to keep it In reasonable
repa,r, it does not speak we'll for our
eounty, to say the least.

Turk Commander Explains
Expatriation OF Jews

Amsterdam, Aug, 30.-Djemai
Pasha, commander of the Turkish
forces in Syria, has given Germaa
newspaper men his version of the res
moval Of the inhabitants of the Jeffa
district. He said 10000 of these peo-
pie had been sent temporarily inland,
mainly to Haifa and Nazareth.
Among them were 5000 Jews, who in
the last few years emigrated to
Jafa. -
This small Jewish settlement about
which so much fuss is made" said
Diemal, "is administered by self.
elected commission and maintained
by the Ottoman government, which
spends 1000 Turkish pounds on it
monthly. Those who have taken .up
agriculture receive additional advan-
tages." .
Djemal was unable to say how
long the expatriation would last, it de-
pending, he asserted, upon military
developments.

Washington, Aug. 50.-American
naval forces are conveying merchant
craft across the Atlantic, it was dis
closed officially today at the Navy de-
partment and examination of the rec
ords show that the loss of conveyed
ships by submarines has averaged less
than u of ! per cent.
Details of the convoy system are
withheld 1t was stated, however,
that American war vessels are regu-
larly escorting fleets of British,
French or other allied merchantmen
across the protection being supple
mented when the danger zone is
reached by the destroyers and other
patrol craft.
American naval officials believe that
an effective system for checking the
submarine menace is being built up
gradually, but certainly. Many de-
vices and many methods enter into
the task. Among other things depth
bombs are proving effective. Officials
reports indicate that American de
stroyers have accounted for several
U-boats with these weapons. No an
nouneement of such incidents will be
made, however, unless absolute proof
of the fact is available.
No Captures Reported.
No U-boat has been captured by
the Americans. It is the best judg-

Washington, Aug. 50.-(special Tel
egram. 1.-The Omaha Ambulance
company will be sent to Camp Dodge
within a few days, according to a
statement made by Gould Dietz today.
The hitch in the acceptance Of the
company as a unit of ythe national
army has grown out of misconeep-
ton of its muster. Officials of the
regular army in charge Of Red Cross
work insisted that as long as the
Omaha company was a part OF the
National Guard it could not be/broken
over by the regular establishment.
This situation was communicated to
Governor Neville and the adjutant
general of Nebraska.
Today Governor Neville cut the
red tape that seemingly prevented
the Omaha company from active serv-
ice by telegraphing Mr.. Detz that the
state of Nebraska had no authority
over the Omaha unit whereupon Stir
geon General Gorgas said arrange
ment would be at once made, as soon
as the Omaha company was mustered
out to take it over intact, as part
of the national army and that the
company would be sent to Camp
Dodge, where it is greatly needed.
Mr.. Deitz is elated over the success
of his mission, and with Mrs. Deitz,
will leave for Omaha tonight.

Mentioned With Funston for
Distinguished Service in War

Colonel F.. A. Grant, now depot
quartermaster in Omaha and the rank
ing officer in the city, received as
many official mentions for distin-
guished service in the Spanish-Ameri-
can war as did the late General Fred
Funston. There is a whole list Of
them in army records commencing
him for the gallant part he played in
that war.
Colonel Grant entered the Spanish
American war as captain in COM
mand of Battery B, Utah Light
artillery, and soon was promoted to
major in command of the battery and
was placed in command Of the gun
boats.
While Dewey was in Philippine
waters Colonel Grant commanded the
river gun boats there. He was great
friend of Admiral Dewey and often
has been his guest.
After the war Colonel Grant en-
tered the quartermaster' department
and has held many important posts in
this work. He came to Omaha this
summer from Manilla, where for four
years he was in charge of all water
transportation and personnel. He has
also been quartermaster at New York.
San Francisco and Seattle.
