Illinois Central Engineers En-
gagged in Survey
TAPPING OF COAL FIELDS
MOST IMPORTANT NOW
Central of Georgia CO-Operates With
Field Force Working This Way
Route Thirty Miles Short
er Than N. & c.

= Engineers of the Illinois Central
are now engaged in making pTelim-
ipary survey from Nashville to Chat
anooga The route almost parallels
the Nashville, Chattanooga & st Lou
in to Murfreesboro. and then branch
ing off extends through Shelbyville
to Woodbury., Manchester, the Sequat-
chic valley, and into Chattanooga
over bridge contemplated somewhere
near the foot OF Wes, Sixth street.
This is not a new survey, but a
verification of an old one made by the
Tennessee Central railway years ago
Railroad men here said route could
be secured that would have no grade
as sharp as per cent 1t was also
said that there would be no necessity
of tunneling the Cumberland noun
tains.
The engineering party from Nash
Vile WAS heard of last week in the
Manchester and Woodbury. section.
For several weeks engineers of the
Central of Georgia, an allied line,
have been running line from this
city to Jasper, at least, which it was
announced, the night the engineers
gathered here, was designed to tap for
the Central of Georgia that rich coal
and coke oven section. To tap coal
fields seems to be the primary purpose
of both lines, but the combined re-
suit will be a route from Chattanooga
TO Nashville, some thirty miles
shorter than the Nashville, Chatta
nooga & st. Louis. with very light
grades aud no tunnels.
According to the plans advanced,
the Illinoie Central expects ultimate
" to construct a double track over
this distance, and, once in operation.
it will afford the Illinois Central n
splendid route from Chicago to Allan
ia and Savannah by way of Nashville.
The Illinois Central. according to
the Nashville Banner,is making plans
again to take over the Tennessee Cen
tral.
1t is believed, since the Southern
railway, joint holder with the Illinois
Central of Tennessee Central first
mortgage bonds, does not wish to
again become actively in charge Of
the eas tern section of the Tennessee
Central, that the Illinois Central will
assume complete charge after the re-
csivership in the federal court has
been discharged, following the sale Of
the railroad property.
1t seems that officials of the Illinois
Central have long realized that the
Hartman route forms POOR means
Of connecting with the Central OF
Georgia at Chattanooga, and to COM
pete with the Nashville, Chattanooga
IL st. Louis in Tennessee territory,
beside shorten the route, it would be
necessary to secure q more direct line.
The I c. out Of Chicago can con-
meet with the Tennessee Central at
Hopkinsville and coming through
Nashville, make the run to Chattanoo-
ga on to Atlanta and Savannah or
Pensacola, Fla. which is also good
shipping port to South and Central
America.
The principal object in again tax
ing over the Tennessee Central is to
strengthen up the Central of Georgia.

W. ]. SCOFIELD
WRITES OF NAVY
Is In Submarine Branch of
Service----Interesting De-
scription of the Work.

Editor News:
| will write few lines to tel
you and the readers of the News
about a branch of the navy that
has been doing its share of fight
ing these last few months.
While not allowed to write any
thing real interesting, as the CEN
sor would just spoil the looks OF
it, I want you to know something
about it. Ordinarily, a subma-
rine man sees very little day light
as he is under water even if the
submarine is floating as high as ii
can. They are electric lighted
and electric fans keep them well
ventilated. There are no state
rooms aboard even for the officers.
Each man has a bunk or a place
on the deck to call his bed and
a locker to put his clothes. A
victrola helps to drive dull care
away when the men find time to
play it. Usually everyone is busy
or sleeping.
A submarine usually is 1876 to
180 feet long and perfectly round
the entire length, pointed at each
end the same and very much like
a cigar shape. They may be any
where from Is to IS feet in diane.
ter in the biggest place and only
a few feet at each end.
I will venture to assert that
there is more machinery, motors,
wiring, and piping aboard a sub
marine than can be gotten on the
same place anywhere else. They
are full from one end to the other,
and right in the ends are the
places the torpedoes are fired
from. A boat has to be submerg-
ed to fire a torpedo. Of course
they can dive and be hid in q
minute or less time when they
want to.
Everyone has certain things tC
to when an order is given SO there
is no confusion, but everyone is
busy as bees when getting ready
to dive or on coming up to the
surface. They can go for miles
under water it they want to or
can lay on the bottom for days at
a time without coming up to the
surface. Large engines drive
them whenontbe surface and elec-
trio motors when under water.
The only trouble a submarine
has these days in fighting is the
nets and mines. They cannot see
them or go around them. They
have a way of cutting the nets
if they get hung up in one if the
enemy doesn't locate them first.
We are getting more enemy
submarines every day and the
enemy doesn't seem to get any of
our submarines. They only get
the slow transports or old patrol
bO its.
1t seems as tho the end wasn't
far off now, but, of course, with
Russia giving up it may make
the war last much longer.
There are several boys up in
this country from Sequatchie Val
ley. Mr.. Armstrong, from South
Pittsburg, and W. J. Scofeld, of
Sequatchie, are here at the Sub
marine Base and Dennis Condra
is at Newport, r. |. Grady
Condra is at Harvard in the u. S.
N, Radio School,. | will not be
surprised to see John Jones up
here soon as we all were sent up
here from that training station at
Norfolk, Va. With Robert Mot
ley on the U. S. S. New Hamp.
shire and Era Condra on the u
S. Pennsylvania. Sequatchie is
pretty we'll represented in the
navy. There may be others in
the navy that your writer doesn't
know off,. .....

GREAT HARVEST OF GRAIN

Rich Stores of Wheat and Other Ger

Germany'S Tenderness

BUENOS AIRES Reviewing the
crop estimates for the current sea-
son, the Buenos Aires Standard draws
the conclusion that the republic seems
likely to have a record breaking yield.
but it questions whether this will do
the country much good under exist
ing circumstances.
THE outlook would be most encour-
aging" says the Standard, If we could
count upon freighters to carry the
grain to hungry Europe
But will Europe be hungry enough
to purchase Argentina's grain in bulk 3?
That will depend upon what the allies
think will be Argentinas position pol
itically when the harvest is gathered.
They are making every effort now to
so harmonic their pooled produce as
to make purchases from neutrals as
light as possible. not because neutral
ity is a crime to be punished but a
policy that will not be encouraged
"Freighters will be very scarce when
neutrals ask for them TO carry their
produce to the war-bitteu markets

Great Italian Victory

WASHINGTON-It troops have
taken from the Austro-Hungarians the
fortified hill of Dol and the Gargaro

since their entrance into the war.
The capture of all Austro-Hungar-

The fighting in the region of the for

tack at heavy cost to the Italians.
The battle has been raging 20 days.
Last week the Austrians changed
