MAD DOG CRAZE HASN'T
TURNED Up THIS YEAR

ATLANTA, Ga, July 31.-What has
become of the mad dog craze which
usually breaks loose in Georgia about
the middle of July?
Probably the war is occupying so
much of the peoples attention that
they have forgotten about dog days and
hydrophobia, but whatever may be the
explanation, it is a noticeable fact
that neither in Atlanta nor elsewhere
in the state are the papers carrying
the usual wild alarms about dogs with
dripping jaws and terrible CLASSY eyes.
A bill has been introduced in the
legislature requiring all dogs to be
muzled, on the idea that this would
prevent the spread of rabies, but the
rabbit hunters want to know how on
earth a hund dog can get himself in
action with a muzzle on his jaws.

MANY KILLED As
U-BOAT SHELLED
CREW IN BOATS

LONDON, July 31-Eight men were
killed and several wounded by the
Smelling by a German submarine of
the life boats of the Elder Dempster
Steamer Addah, which was torpedoed
on June Is, according to official YER
sion of the affair One boat was sunk
by shrapnel while they were in the
water waiting for the other boats to
pick them rp,
The Official narrative says that the
submarine along side one of the Adj
dah's life boats and made use of her to
send some of the crew of the submar-
ire on board of the Addah just before
the STEAMER sank. When the submar
ines crew had been returned to their
craft. the officer in command of the
life boat was ordered to move away
ircm the submarine.
by this time" the official state
ment reads, the boat commanded by
the captain of the Addah which already
had been badly smashed by numerous
shells from the submarine, was about
three or four hundred yards ap ay from
the German craft.
THE submarine again opened fire
ON the captains boat with shrapnrl,
killing eight men and taking the
boats stern off Even after the boat
had been sunk and the men were swim
ing in the water the submarine shelled
them with shrapnel. Then when
tie German thought that he had finish
boa then opened fire on the Chief
Officers boat firing eight shrapnal.
Fortunately nobody was killed, but
only holing the boat breaking the oars
and wounding several men slightly.
After this the submarine command
or waved to the chief officer to go
over to the position where the captain
and several other people were swim
ming about to pick them up, and the
submarine then went away on the
surface.
"The captain and the remainder of
the men were then picked up and TAX
en- aboard the chief officers boat, and
were eventually picked up by French
patrol steamer.
This" the statement adds, "is a
fine gallant record for seamen of the
nation that claims to be fighting for
the freedom of the seas

BRITISH BLUEJACkETS
NOW CALLED "LIMEYS.'

LONDON, July 31.-American blue
jackets on duty in Eruporean waters
have a nickname of their own for
England's sailors and soldiers. They
call them "limeys"; the individual be-
ing known as lime" The Ameri-
can sailor men apply the designation
to all English fighters just as the
British refer to their soldiers as Tom
miese."
The sailor from the United States has
his nickname for nearly everything
he sees. Bluejackets who had served
in the Near and Far East first started
calling British sailors and soldiers
'lime-iuicers' because of their fond
ness for fruit juice and charged water.
Now the designation has been short
eped down and everything British is
"limey" British sailors and soldiers
clubs are known as "limey clubs" and
British-brewed lager beer Is commonly
spoken of as limey beer"

SOUTH CAROLINA MEN
HERE To STUDY WEEVIL

A party OF South Carolina planters
arrived in Americas last night on a
tour of inspection through this section
OF Georgia, in which the boil weeyil
has made his appearance this season.
They are Z. P. Watson and T. S,
Bates, of Batesburg, S. c.; Marvin
Mitchell, Of Ridge Springs, S. c., and
L d. Barr, of Leesville, S. c.
All four of the party are prominent
planters in their section of South
Carolina and foreseeing the infesta-
ton of their farms by the weevil, de-
cided to gather up fund of first-hand
information concerning the methods
used in fighting the pest, as well as
the means taken to counterfeit the eff
fects Of his work.
Today they made trip out to sew
eral Of the worst infested plantations
il the county. and incidentally, were
much impressed by the enerE etic man
ner in which the farmers of this sec
tiCn are fighting the weevil by picking
the punctured squares nnce or twice
each week The Investigation of crops
as practiced here was also a matter OF
extreme interest to them. At the Aries
plantation they we're shown how stock
raising is being developed.
The party intends to leave Americas
today for other points in south Geor-
gia.
