to have gone down in the time she did.
Probably the attack was made well
out at sea. 1t took two days for the
news to reach Washington and the
dispatch shows the time that must
have elapsed before definite word could
reach Admiral Sims. The survivors
are believed to be already safe. ashore
France or England.
So far as known, no high officers o.
the army or navy were due to return
on the Antilles. There is no definite
information on that point however, as
only General Pershing knows who
was sent home on the ship. The re-
ports so far received show merely
that a number Of army officers and
fifty three enlisted men OF the army
were aboard. Evidently Admiral
Sims rushed his tiding of before he
communicated with General Pershing.

THE WAR BROUGHT O N

Saturday mornings reports brought
the unWelcome news that the Ameri-
a. army transport Antilles, home
ward bound, was torpedoed and sunk
by q German submarine in the war
one on Wednesday, October IL, and
that more than sixty lives were lost.
This is the first mishap to an Amari-
can ship engaged In war duty, since
the severance OF diplomatic relations
with Germany, and brings home to the
people Of this country a full realization
Of what they may expect at the hands
Of the Imperial German government.
II any have failed to realize that the
United States is really engaged in
war. such a delusion may at once be
dispelled. The fact that hfs country
is actually engaged in the conflict can
not longer be brushed aside. American
lives have actually been shifted out in
the same brutal manner that has char
~acterized German atrocities from the
beginning of the. war and the lives OF
those who perfshed in Wednesdays
disaster should. and will, be speedily
avenged.
It was for the purpose of protecting
the lives Of its citizens upon the high
seas that the United States entered
this world struggle for liberty and the
sinking of the transport Antilles will
bring the American people to an i'm
mediate realization Of the fact that we
must win this war and that it will
take men and money to do IT. Ger
many csnnot-and does not-hope to
succeed through her armies on the
held, but she has pinned her faith to
the submarine. 1t Is TO meet this
menace that the United States mnst
prepare; it is for this purpose she is
making preparations as rapidly as, the
condition of her treasury will war
rant. The second Liberty Loan will
hasten the end. Have you subscribed
to It? IL not, why not. There is dam
ger and death in delay.-News.

LACK OF PRIVILEGE Is
BEING FELT BY TROOPS.
Men at Fort CasWen Can't Understand
Why FurlOUghs Are SO Rare. :

HUI ~ AV4O O@S V IN " &4@
Why Burroughs Are SO Rare.
(By P. G. Trogden in the Greensboro
News.)
Fort CasWell, Oct. 23.-The rather
rigid restrictions which have been i'm
posed upon the soldiers here during
their three months service in the
United States army has created more
or less q disheartened feeling which
doesn't decrease with no privileges
being extended them to date. The
men in the ranks cannot Understand the
fact that men they know in every
other branch of the service are get
ting furloughs home and to other places
frequently when no leaves of absence
or furloughs are issued here except in
cases Of emergency.
1t is true that while the restric-
lions have been rigid the men have
seen service that car only be termed
real" service for besides drilling
they have done the labor necessary to
convert Fort CasWell from a summer
field into an army post. The work
came hard to the men, OF course. but
it was done and all the time there has
been nothing except one moving pic
ture show which could offer amuse-
ment 10 them. Very few passes have
been issued to Southport, just two
miles away, and only one weekend
were men allowed to go to Whining
ton, 80 miles away, for a days recrea-
ton Passes home are something
eagerly sought, but never granted. and
the feeling whic hextsts among the
men here is the inevitable climax to
such treatment,
Several newspapers in the state
have published interviews with visi-
tors to Fort Caswell and the place
then the fact that there are men Ia
training here who r from the best
families in the state, extends this
sentiment of disappointment farther
than within the ranks here. No
doubt the men left at home believing
that they would get back for q short
stay, but they have been disappointed.
Attempts to get back home to see rel
atives or friends who desperately
i'll have failed several times, and it
has reached the stage now where the
soldiers must be content to remain
here and reap the amusement from
the moving picture show.
1t is not for the violation Of orders.
nor it is orders directly from the ON
GERS commanding the post that has
caused such strict laws to be, imposed.
for the officers are sub1ectfng them
selves to the same orders These
orders. no doubt, were issued from
higher up than this post and it Is not
the custom for men In the ranks TO
have anexplanation in such cases. In
times Of wal many such cases con-
front the soldier and it puts e man
to q test Of his patriotism.
1t ts evident that Uncle Sam has
something "up his sleeve and there
is q purpose for holding SO tightly to
the men here. Whatever the hard
ships are it is the duty of every SOL
der to give to his country That for
which he enlisted and "do his bit'' for
his country.

nearly every family some member has

butter which he or she does not use.
The remedy is simple. Cut slices %

Brings War Home
This tragedy of the sea, the first in
which an American ship engaged i'm
war duty has been lost, is the first
of its magnitude to bring home to the
people OF the URtted States the rigorN
Of the wal in which they have engaged
against Germany. It carries the
largest casualty list of the war so far,
of American lives, and marks the first
success OF German submarine attacks
Ou American
That the loss of life was not greater
1s due TO the safeguard with which the
navy has surrounded the transport
service, and the quick escu work Of
conveying warships. :.
Secretary Daniels announced the dis
aster tonight IN a statement based
upon a brief dispatch from Vice-Ad-
miral Sims which gave few details
and did not say whether It was a day
or night attack. An accurate list Of
the missing cannot be issued until
General Pershing reports the names
OF the army men on the vessel and the
list OF the merchant crew. A
Feeling Of Relief
Quick upon the wave of sorrow at
the news of the loss of the transport,
g No a feeling Of distinct relief be-
cause b had met her fate homeward

We're returning to the hospital or ON
special assignment. Had the full
complement Of the transport been
aboard. the loss undoubtedly would
nave been written In hundreds, as she
was struck in the most vulnerable
spot and went under so swiftly that
Few could have escaped.
Ofdctals are confident THAT those
who survived owe their lives to the
careful l%attention given by the navy de-
partrnent to the equIppIng of transports
with Hfeboats and life RATS. It is a
nxed rule that enough boats and RATS
shall be carried to afford a place for

ENORMOUS WASTE Of MEAT BY
SLAUGHTER Of YOUNG CALVES
HUMANE OFFICER GIVES SOME
STARTLING FIGURES FOX
WHEELING DISTRICT.
Estimates Animals, if Allowed to 1--we
for Full Year, Would Produce
$4,000 Pounds More Meat.

Agitation for legislation to prevent
the slaughter OF young calves as d
step to meet the necessity tor con-
seryation of meat has been taken up
by Humane Officer Sheldon joseph,
of this city, state agent Tor the West
Virginia Humane society
In two weeks and one day. Mt:
Joseph stated last evening bb3 veal
calves were bu,chered by one frm IN
the vicinity OF Wheeling. Baslng MS
calculation upon a minimum gam Oh
10 pounds per month in meat; ne
estimates that had these calves peeh
permitted TO live one month longer
this one firm would have turned out
$3.50 pounds more meat nom the
same animals.
Mr.. Joseph estimates that IN tne
Wheeling district one thousand caves
are butchered each week, or -FOUR
thousand each month. Should these
calves be allowed TO grow for q
month, basins the calculation on a
10-pound minimum, Wheeling could
produce 10000 pounds more meat
month from the same animals.
These calves which fall victim or
the slaughter, according TO Mr.. Joseph.
do not average over four months or
age when they are killed. Therefore,
if calves were not permitted 10 be
killed under year in age as he ad-
vocates. with eight months more to-
grow at the minimum OF 10 pounds OF
an increase in meat weight each
month, there would be production
OF 100000 pounds more meat from
these animals each year.
Mr.. Joseph bases his estimates upon
an actual Investigation made: both for
his personal enlightenment and for
the society which he represents. and
the figures arrived at more than ever
convince him that legislation should
be enacted forbidding the slaughter OF
Young calves.
