TEUTONS GAVE US
A GREAT TRANSPORT
Giant Vaterland, Almost Unsinkable
Which was Planned and Built
in Germany

Washington, Sept. 29.-Kaiser Will
lam himself has contributed Uncle
Sans greatest aid in transporting
armies to France.
Thanks to the kaiser's orders to the
Germany shipping companies, Uncle
Sam has today one ship which can
transport half division of over 10,-
900 men, with all their equipment.
The ship was designed primarily for
that purpose The giant Vaterland,
outwardly floating passenger pal
ace, when stripped of her ornaments,
is the wo1'd's greatest troop trans
port.
AS if the submarines were foreseen,
the Vaterland is equipped to with
stand submarine attack better than
any ship affoat. Gun platforms for a
whole flock of rapid frers were cum
ningly built into her. Her speed en-
ables her to run away. Through a
system of watertight compartments
she is practically unsinkable. If
struck squarely by two or three tor
pedoes she would remain afoat.
As Uncle Sans engineers have
proceeded to remodel the Vaterland
since the American flag was hoisted
over her, they have been running into
surprise after surprise. They have
found their work already done for the
most part.
The suitability of the Vaterland for
| transport purposes have heightened
the suspicion that she was built espe-
cially to carry a little army for sur
prise attack on a distant coast-the
| United States or Brazil in all proba-
bility-if things had gone as the kais,
er planned, and our turn had come.
The highest military experts in
Germany were consulted in building
the Vaterland. And now their pet
weapon is turned against them.
The Vaterland can cross the Allan
! tic in less than a week. She could
take 10000 men per month to Europe.
The troops sailing on the Vaterland
can drill every day. On her giant af-
ter-deck whole regiment can de-
ploy.
No troops have ever sailed the seas
in the solid comfort enjoyed by the
boys who go 'over there" in the Vat
erland.

Petrograd, Friday, Sept. 28.-Pre-
mier Kerensky took the initiative,
coldly facing what may be the su-
rpeme test of power for his govern
ment. The told the democratic con-
gress that his regiments saved Rus
sia in the darkest hours. Speaking of
the Korniloff revort he said: 81 pre-
vented it. | destroyed it."
Minister of War Iverkhovsky said
discipline was necessary in the army
and state. Henceforth officers will be
named by their superiors rather than
elected by. their commands. His adj
dress as a whole evoked more ap-
plause than that of Kerensky.
The crisis probably will come Sat
urday, when the radical element will
present an extremist program.

BOY INJURED WITH DYNAMITE
Sam Phillips

A boy, II or II years old, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Nelson, who live near
the city rock crushing plant in the
first ward, while pranking with dy-
Mantle cap this morning, which he
probably found near the blasting
pit, was terribly injured. The lads
right hand suffered the loss of the
ends of three fingers, the other hand
is badly hurt and his chest, face and
legs were more or less injured and
torn by the explosion. When medical
attention was secured the boy was
taken to the physicians office where
his wounds were dressed and he is
resting easy and is in no danger. 1t
was a long time before the cause of
the accident could be ascertained, as
the neighbors thought it was gum
shot. The explosion was heard for
some distance and all was confusion
when help arrived. Another boy was
playing with the injured boy, but
when the explosion occurred, ran off
and did not appear for long time to
explain the matter. Mr.. Nelson is
working for the railroad in Sumter
and Levy county and the boys mother
clerks at Fishels store.

fielder Robert Byrne was enrolled
with the Pittsburg and Philadelphia
Nationals in 1909 and 1915 when these
teams won the right to play the Am
erican League pennant winners for

There is also much promising ma
terial among the younger members
of the teams and it is not all unlikely
that one or more of these players, un-
tried in the premier diamond conflict
may prove the deciding factor in
eitheer a game or the series as a
whole Certainly some of them have
excellent records to support the sup
position. Benny Kauff, the star bat
ter of the defunct Federal League;
Jim Thorpe, the famous Indian ath-
Iete, football player and former mem
Der of several major and minor league
clubs; pitcher Fred Anderson; Wal

Giants all appear as possessing pos
sibilities in this direction.
The White Sox roster includes the
names of several players who have
sprung into baseball prominence with
in the past season or two and it may
be from this list there will appear one
who will by a spectacular fielding
feat, long hit or brilliant piece of base
running gain a place in the World
Series hall of fame at a bound. In
fielder Charley Risberg and outfieldeI
Oscar Felsch have played remarkable
baseball this season and should main

many players of far greater big

important of all diamond clashes ano

SCANDINAVIAN FISHERMEN
IN DANGER OF STARVATION
(Associated Press

Copenhagen, Sept. 28.-Scandinav-
ian coast fishermen are faced with
absolute ruin, on account of the i'm
possibility of plying their trade this
year in the face of mines and u
boats. This is the more to be regret
ted as fish are more plentiful in the
North Sea than ever before in the his
tory of the fishing industry.
Meanwhile the German trawlers
under government protection, are
making great preparations for the
season. A large new fishing port at
the mouth of the Elbe is in course of
construction.

ASSOCIATED Press)

The tropical hurricane striking the
gulf coast at the mouth of the Mis-
sissippi and sweeping northeastward
yesterday, was central over southern
Alabama this morning with much of
its fury spent. Pensacola is still iso-
lated. The last reports from there at
1 o'clock yesterday afternoon did not
report the loss of life or extensive
property loss. Ample warning is
probably responsible for the lack of
heavy damage anywhere. Washouts
demoralize drail traffic and broken
telegraph wires interrupted communi-
cation.
During the storm yesterday the
building occupied by the Mobile
Chamber of Commerce was burned
with loss of $45O,0OO.
Storm warnings were displayed
from Fortress Monroe to Jacksonville

Subscriber Tells
 More About the
 City of New York

MT. Editor.-Has the war started in Newark yet?It seems to be started here in New York City with the bread, onion, ana potato rioters that are on the hunger strike. They had the retail grocery man begging for mercy when the women boy cotted his poultry and his per- ishing vegetables which the re- taller had thousands of dollars invested in. They offered the poultry at cost but they would Tt take it unless he promised to keep it down.
 But it looks now as if there was real war close at hand that is far more destructive than the rioting of few thou sand dollars worth of poultry and some angry women fight ing. When you can, in the af- ternoon, hear the belehing of the cannon, peal after peal, as though the battle was on while they are testing the cannon and target practice of the artillery.
 A stranger coming to New York can't claim to have seen the better part of the city un- less he has traversed 5th ave- nue, Central Park, and River side drive, leaving off the com- mereial part and it's prineely mansions.
 At 42nd street of 5th Ave nue is situated New York Pub lie Library containing,it is said, three million volumes. It is said to have cost $9,000,000 exclu- sive of it's grounds and it has 50 branches scattered over greater New York.
