When the Antilles sank forty or fifty
men were at the stern Most of them
leaped fifty feet or more into the sea
as the stern rose to perpendicular
position and some were drawn down
by the suction of the sinking vessel,
The submarine was not sighted
either before or after the explosion.
The sea was running high at the time,

clinging to debris, were in the water
an hour before they were sighted by

MACON, Ga, Oct 22.-Information

two counties who are being terrorlzed
by a small band of night-riders. Re
ports indicated that only negroes who
owp or drive automobiles and auto

of night riders objects to negroes drlF-
ing automobiles of any description, al
though the white persons who are al
legged to be responsible for the acts
have not applied for the positions.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 22--

craft tboard of the council of national
defense
1t is the 4eply to Germany's recent
boasts that she will send a feet of bat
tie planes TO this country. American
manufacturers have announced they
stand ready to equip fleet of one
thousandbattle planes of the largest
type and send them across the Allan
tic for big drive on Germany's fleet
at the Kiel base. Battle planes are
now unded construction to make this
attack feasible.
Germany has boasted she would
strike this country first. To do so She
must have BATTLE planes that can
travel 1000 miles and return to their
base-about seven times the distance
vet covered by an airplane in single
fight. Her approximate distance
from the Atlantic coast is $500 miles
If her battle planes are able to make
only 500 miles they must land IN enc
my country and be captured. Her
planes must remain afioat at least
900 miles to do any effective work.
America, on the other hand, will
have to cover only about 1900 miles
at leg-20O miles longer than flights
have been made Taking the trans
Atlantic air route, Newfoundland to
the Azores to Ireland. she will have
two intermediate stops in friendly
country.
Great machines are being built iii
this country that can remain in the
air twenty-four hours. An Italian
aviator has flown more than 1000
miles at a single flight. French ayia-
tors nave remained up in light ma
chimes nearly twelve hours. BIRTHS
airmen have been doing the same
thing.
Manufacturers have estimated that
The life Of large battle planes like the
Italian and the British is 150 hours
minimum in the air After that they
must be overhauled 1t is estimated
that the fight across the Atlantic
would take abou. forty hours. This
would leave 110 hours in which to
conduct major operations against the
German base.
The distance between Great Britain
and Kiel is about 425 miles. 1t is
estimated that as these giant planes

les an hour there would be an ex
penditure OF about eighteen hours
fight in each raid.
Two things heretofore prevented
the llght--Guration of flight and in
ability to maintain direction. Dura-
