LOCAL APPREHENSION
FELT AT WRECK NEWS

Considerable apprehension was felt
when it became known locally that
the fast northbound train on the l..
& N. had been ditched at an early
hour Wednesday morning. There were
a number of young men on the train
leaving for college, and Senator Beard
had a son aboard, who was returning
north. A telegram from young Mr..
Beard early yesterday afternoon,
however, announced that he had es-
capped without injury. In local rail-
road circles the utmost secrecy was
maintained, the bare announcement
being made that none of the pas
sengers had suffered injury.
Inquiries concerning the wreck were
telephoned from many parts of the
city and county to The Journals Of
flee last evening, and the inquirers
were assured that none of the rela-
tives of the former had been hurt, so
far as thr railroads statement as
serted.

BIG MOBILIZATION SUCCESS
FULLY.

Washington, Sept. 19.-While mo-
bilization of the first major increment
of the national army is proceeding,
Secretary Baker and the other chiefs
of the war department appeared be-
fore the Senate appropriations COM
mittee and presented requests for an
additional two hundred eighty-seven
million dollars with which to provide
for total force of 100000 men.
Almost the entire forty-five per
cent of the first draft will be under
military control by Saturday. Mobili
zation in different parts of the coun-
try proceeded satisfactorily.
Secretary Baker said he thought
General Crowder's suggestion that all
registered men be examined for mill
tary service SO as to eliminate the
from consideration in fu-
ture calls, may be carried out.

SITE IN SOUTH IS
BEING SOUGHT BY
u. S. GOVERNMENT
WAR DEPARTMENT LOOKING
FOR PLACE WHERE INFANTRY
AND MACHINE GUN PRACTICE
MAY BE CARRIED ON.
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Sept. 19-The war de-
partment is now seeking a site in the
southern portion of the country for an
additional infantry and machine gun
firing school where adequate ranges
can be laid out for rifle and machine
gun practice work. Boards of officers
are looking over various proposed
sites in Texas and elsewhere but no
recommendations have yet been re-
ceived.
The new range will require between
Is and 20 square miles of uninhabited
territory, broken into level lands and
also into hill country so that battle
conditions of all kinds can be repro
duced for the target practice work.
There must be room for a large can
tonment at which the troops can be
housed; good rail facilities; an ada
cent city or town, and an adequate
supply of good water for camp pur-
poses.
The site will be either leased or
purchased as seems best when an
available tract has been found. The
government already owns several ma
chine gun, rifle or artillery ranges of
a similar character.
The chief machine gun and infantry
fire school of the army is now at
Fort Sill, Okla. With the tremendous
increase in the use of machine guns
due to trench warfare, however, sew
eral additional schools and ranges
must be established without delay

MAN SAND-BAGGED
COURT HOUSE ANNEX

W. C. Waters, residing at 225
North DeVilliers street, was sand
bagged" in the court house annex late
Tuesday night but the police filed a
report of the occurrence yesterday,
when the facts were reported to tho
ranks.
1t appears that Waters, who was in
the annex on some matter in which
he was interested, was struck by a
man who stood in the darkened stair
way at the rear of the annex, and
when Waters did not fall, as it is be-
lieved his assailant evidently intended,
the stranger ran through the rear
door and escaped before it could be
ascertained whether the assailant was
white or black.
Waters was stunned by the blow
but was not rendered unconscious and
was unable to tell whether or not the
bag was intended for him or for
some other man. 1t is the belief of
the police, however, that the hidden
stranger was after anyone who car
ried money or anything of value. and
it is additionally believed that he in
tended to knock his victim uncon-

TARVlA SUGGESTED
ON AERO PAVED ROAD

At the special meeting of the board
of county commissioners yesterday
morning all details, except two, of
the Molino bridge plans were ap-
proved by the board, and the COM
pany ordered notified of the slight
changes made. 1t is expected that
complete plans will be approved at
the first meeting in October.
The only other matter to come be-
fore the board at the special meeting
was the material with which the road
to the aeronautic station would be
paved. A representative of the Bar
nett Company, of Birmingham ap-
peared before the board and urged
the use of tarvia, which he stated
could be supplied for $4,000 mile.
With the gravel, and other material
necessary to pave the road with
tarvia, he stated that the total cost
per mile would not exceed $4,000,
which is considerably lower than
concrete.
The board stated that when the
question came up for final decision
that they would seriously consider the
use of tarvia. 1t was decided to
send a representative to the roads
meeting at Mariana, October 8.

This means that there will be large

there have been named two captains
the losing side to "set 'em up" to the
loser. Henry Wicke is one of the cap
tains, while genial Jessie Clark will
captain the other, and both have re-
solved that their respective sides will

ASSOCIATED PRESS SUMMARY.
Bombardment by British artillery
Of German lines in the Ypres sector
In Flanders continues most intense,
but no infantry action is in force
There were no major operations along
the French portion of the western
front.
German defenses along the Aisne
were raided by French, and where the
expenditures of artillery ammunition
was enormous.
Italians are more active on the
Trentino front, and are harassing the
enemy with numerous raids.
Russians continue on the offensive
in Moldavia.
Rumania's army Is continuing its
activity on the Moldavian front and
has won another success, Petrograd
reports the occupation by Rumanian
troops of Teutonic position on n
height near Grozechti. The Russian
front proper is comparatively quiet,
neither side apparently being engaged
in any important operations.
Reports from the British front in
Flanders continue to mention only
raids and artillery and airplane activ-
ikfes. Notwi MISLEADING that virtually
all the recent London official state
ments have been similarly lacking in
records of major operations, the Brit
fish casualty lists disclose there has
been heavy fighting. Casualties on
all fronts reported during the week
ended yesterday. for instance, totalled
more than 27,000 Of which the killed
numbered 1880.
Point Is given these facts to the
recent reports of correspondents that
despite the laconic official announce
ments the British activities are by
no means as unimportant as they
might seem and that all arms of the
British service are being constantly
employed in the process of wearing
down the German resistance. The
German casualties for specific periods
are not so readily available but OBJ
servers at the front calculate them
as extremely heavy in the sort of
fighting now in progress.

VESSELS SEIZURE WAS
NOT UNEXPECTED HERH

While no information was obtain
able from the district atto19ey, it is
understood that the cause of seizure
was a suspicion that the boat had
been engaged in carrying contraband
to Germany, shipped through a neu-
trail port.
Whether the suspicious of the gov
ernment have been verified could not
be ascertained, as the information
sent out is understood to have in
structed all authorities to watch for
the vessel, and report her arrival, to
the department.
The schooner was reported foated
and towed to a gulf port by the As
sociated Press, Sunday night, though
no statement was made until yester-
day concerning the charges which had
been preferred against the boat, and
crew.
