CAPTAIN IN PANAMA
Was Married on June 18th at Colds
boro to Miss Michaux.

About dozen years ago, bright
eyed, shrewd and magnetic lad of 13
summers from Union, S. c., came as
lone guest of the editor of The
News. This lad won his way to the
hearts of the editors household, for
he brought presents of candy for the
women and offered his services as
dish-washer. Nicely he figured as a
dishwasher here for his five days.
stay, yet he never washed dishes at
home. He was adept In the art of
pleasing and master in tact. His
father, j. D. Arthur, was and is a
cashier, whose bank deposits increase
each year in Union, S. C. The young
son was there an efficient and popular
bill-collector each month for the mer-
chants, until he went to the Citadel in
Charleston, then to West Point acad-
emy, where he graduated two years
ago with high honors. He made his
mark in college and is now stationed
at Panama Canal, where he is Capt.
j. D. Arthur, Jr., of the engineer
corps.
Love threw the. witchery of it's
oNei IiiiS young captain In
Panama and he applied in vain for
furlough to get married to his second
cousin, Miss Sara Michaux, whose
father is postmaster of Goldsboro, N.
c. She, at last consented as a neces-
sity to meet him bravely in Panama in
June for the marriage. So she bought
in Baltimore her trousseau.
A cablegram announced that the
young groom, aged 25, Capt. ]. D.
Arthur, Jr., had secured a furlough.
He and his bride were married at
Goldsboro Tuesday evening, June 12,
1917.

ago, is now married man and a pop
ular captain of engineers in Panama,

MATERIAL BILLS SHOW
MAGNITUDE OF CANTONMENTS
Force of From $4,000 to 10000 Men
Will Be Required in the Con-
struction of the 16 Homes
for Great Army.

Washington, June 2O.-A force of
from 10000 to $4,000 workmen will
be required in the construction of
the 16 great cantonments for the new
national army, according to figures
furnished today by the war depart
ment.
Some idea of the magnitude of the
projects may be gained from the es-
Inmates, which show that 394 miles
of insulated wire, 100000 kegs of nails,
$4,000 barrels of cement and 10000
shower bath heads are to be used.
To guard against fire, the govern
ment plans to install more than 70
miles of fire hose, $500 extinguish-
ers and 100000 fire pals. Elaborate
plumbing specifications Indicate the
thoroughness with which sanitation
is to be acquired. The difference in
climatic conditions between the
north and south makes it necessary
for 216,000 additional feet of lumber
to be used in the northern states.

WILL NOT DESERT ALLIES

The duma, in secret session, has
passed a resolution for an immediate
offensive by the Russian troops.
The resolution declares separate
peace with Germany or prolonged in
activity on the battle front to be ig-
noble treason toward Russia's allies
for which future generations never
would pardon the Aussia of the pres
ent day.
"The duma therefore considers" the
resolution adds, "that the safety of
Russia and the maintenance Of the
liberties which have been obtained lie
in an immediate offensive in close CO.
operation with Russia's allies.

GRAIN CROPS BURNING UP
IN THE KAISER-LAND

Copenhagen, via London, June 10
Throughout Germany, according to
reports here, all valuable grain crops
are burning up, as they did in 1915,
in an unprecedented heat wave. The
prolonged drought has not been brok-

on record in the TO years experience
of the weather bureau. Tropical tenn
peratures were also reported every
where west of Oder river.
The weather bureau states that the
prospects for rain or lower tempera-
lures are vey slight. The effect of
the drought on grain crops around
Berlin is described by a neutral who
arrived here on Friday as almost
catastrophal.

TO CALL OFFICERS
FOR SECOND CAMPS
OPPORTUNITY TO SE-
CURE ARMY COMMISSIONS.
Mature Men Wanted-Trainirg to
Begin August 27-South Caro-
lina's Quota Two Hundred
and Fifty.

Charleston, June 20.-Application
blanks for the use of those who wish
to enter the second series of training
camps for reserve officers have been
received at Gen. Woods headquar-
ters and must be used by all who ap-
ply for admission to the course, which
will open on August 27. These
forms must be used and must be
mailed in before July Is to "The Ex-
amining Officer, Second Training
Camp, Southeastern Department" j."
The second series of camps will be
located at eight places, two at each
place, with the exception of Fort Ben
jamin Harrison, Ind, which will have
three camps, and at the Preside, San
Francisco, which will have one, the
total being 16 in number, as before,
but each accommodating only 1000
men, those of mature age being given
the preference. One of the two camps
at Fort Oglethorpe will supply the
territory of South Carolina, North
Carolina and Tennessee. South Caro-
lina's quota is $50 men, including
those named from the National
Guard, about 70 guardsmen being al
lowed to enter.
Qualifications the Same.
Entrance qualifications remain un-
changed and members of line sections
of the officers reserve corps who
through no fault of their own were
unable to attend the first series will
be allowed to attend the coming ones.
In distinct contrast to the present
camps, hoover, the greatest efforts
will be made to secure mature men,
and for this reason preference will be
given to men over 81 years of age,
all other things being equal. The
minimum age remains fixed at 20
years and nine months, but with the
few men allotted to this State it will
be extremely difficult for men under
81 years to qualify unless they have
preeminent qualifications or unusual
military experience. Men who ap-
piled for the first series and were not
accepted must reapply, whether or
not they were certified to attend, but
need not secure new physicians GER
tificates. The right to enter camp
if selected, will not be affected by
the applicants being drafted either
before or after camp begins.
Other changes are that instead of
sending three letters of recommends
tion with his application the appli-
cant must merely give the names of
three men who can certify to his
character and standing and who are
not relatives of his; that he must un-
dergo physical examination and be
passed before applying and must pay
the cost of this himself, and that
the examining officers will go to vari-
Gus places to examine candidates,
these cities to be selected and an
nounced later.

AMERICAN SAILOR GIVEN
COMMAND IN IRISH SEAS
Vice Admiral Sims, United States
Navy's Representative in Eu-
pean Zone, Assumes Charge
of All Operations in
Waters Abuttin EN-
eral Isle.

London, June 19.-Vice Admiral
William S. Sims, U. S. N, has been
appointed to take general charge of
the operations of the allied naval
forces in Irish waters.
Admiral Sims will act in this ca
pacity while the British naval COM
mander in chief is absent from Lis
post for a period, the official an
nouncement of his appointment ex-
plains. The American admira's flag
meanwhile has been hoisted as the
allied senior officer in these waters.

An Important Post.

WashingtonA June ia brief
message from London to the navy
department was the first news of the
appointment of Admiral Sims to
command the allied naval forces in
Irish waters during the absence of
the commander of that district and
gave no other information as to the
new responsibilities placed upon the
American officer.
The Washington government has
given Admiral Sims wide powers to
enable him to meet any situation.
He has full authority to act on his
own initiative in disposing his forces
so as to secure the greatest CO.
operation with the French and Brit
ish navieS and also the maximum eff
ficiency in the battle against German
submarines.
Much of his time has been spent
IN London and Paris and today's ad-
wees are the first to indicate that he
has been at sea with his ships.
Tremendous responsibilities have
been placed on Admiral Sims shoul-
ders. The tale of torpe loei ships in
Irish waters is an often repeated one
1t has been said that even without
the American vessels the British
have had thousands o. destroyers,
submarine chasers of all sizes and
kind, mine sweepers, aircraft and
every other known method of COM
batting submarines posted in these
waters in the effort to keep open the
shipping lanes.
All these forces are no wundcr Ad-
miral Sims. On him also rests prob
ably the duty of arranging for the
arrival and departure of commercial
vessels, both transatlantic and
coastwise, that ply Irish waters. The
British admiralty exercises rigid con-
troll over all ship movements and no
vessels leaves port until the naval
commander reports the seas free of
the enemy.
In some quarters it was pointed
out that the announcement that the
American officer had been placed,
even temporarily in command of
British forces greatly superior ia
those under the American flag in
those waters might have a political
effect in Ireland, where the situation
is turbulent with the approach of
the Irish convention period II
might tend to show beyond question
it was suggested that the British
and American governments were in
perfect accord.

THREE FLAGS IN ONE.
(Col. Archibald Hopkins in the Wall
Street JournaD.

Three flags ablaze in morning sun.
Their colors red and white and blue,
The fluttering breeze blends into one,
One flag to Truth and Freedom true,
How lovingly their folds entwine.
Their flag, our flag, your flag and
mine.
The English flag, the mother tongue,
The motherhood, revered and dear,
Her steady battle lines far flung,
Her fleet that give us safety here.
The meteor flag on every sea.
Which tyrants hate and pirates flee,
The flag of glorious, bleeding France
That gave us gallant Lafayette
And now. by wtr's grim happy
chance,
Please God, we'll try to pay the debt.
The flag that flew with ours on high
When German George bade us good
by.
The starry flag we love the best.
The flag our fathers first unfurled,
The flag that freed a land oppressed
And lit torch for all the world,
The flag that tells of hearth and
home
In every land where we may roam.
The three in one will lead the fight
Against the cruel tyrant Hun.
And by their majesty and might
Shall victory and peace be won.
See, mounting through the deadly
breach,
Each waves for all and all for each.
