Atlanta, Ga.-A strange, wild, hairy
creature, bearing some semblance Of q
man and some semblance Of q wild
creature, who was captured on the
banks of the Chattahoochee river by
Sheriff Taylor Of Heard county, has
been brought to Atlanta and turned
over to the federal authorities, but they
have no use for him and do not want
him, and it looks as if Sheriff Taylor
will have to take him back and feed
him at the expense of Heard county.
So far as Atlanta's leading linguists
can discover, he speaks no language
DIR. F. E. May, the French consul, who
is able to converse In most of the civ

no success.
"He understands nothing l speak; he
speaks nothing understand" says DR.
May.
The stranger is little and bent and
carries cane. His head and face are
matted with hair He looks like wild

harmless.

j BOATS CAN NOW
STAY AT SEA A YEAR
Captain Tells American They Are
Kept Supplied by Other
Submarines.

New York.-Captain Bragg, who has
arrived at an Atlantic port with the
crew of the American bark Hildegaard.
which was sunk with bombs by the
crew of a German submarine on July
10 off the English coast, gives an inter
esting account of his meeting with the
commander of the U boat. According
to the U boat captain. the submarines
stay away from their base for a year
or more if nothing happens to the ma
chinery. They patrol the seas within
certain radius, he said, and their sup
plies are brought to them by subma-
rines of an older type which act as
tenders.
The Hildegaard, according to Captain
Bragg, was blown up within sight of
two British patrol boats, which were
too slow to come up before the bark
was destroyed. The Germans did not
seem at all perturbed at the prospective
danger.
'"The commander of the submarine"
the captain continued, ''spoke perfect
English and told me that he did not in
tend to harm me or any of my crew.
I am going to sink your ship, though
he said, because there are too many
American and British ships on the At
lantic. Get your crew into the life
boats quickly and pull for the shore
ahead of you, and wish you luck
"The moss on the top and sides of
the submarine was fully an inch thick,
with seaweed two inches long, which
looked as if the craft was kept lying on
the bed of the sea for hours at time.
The crew had a rusty appearance and
could have done with turn in drydock
for overhauling and cleaning up, as
we'll as their craft. After she had sub
merged one of the British boats picked
us up and landed us later at an Eng
lish port"

membered that there has been 36 per

vehicles in this state SO far this year."
In 1916 there were no less than 125
persons killed and 231 injured on grade
crossing accidents in this state alone.
Yet the number was greater in Ohio,
where 155 weres killed in the twelve
months, and in Pennsylvania the toll
amounted to 159. In the United States
last year 1896 persons Were killed and
3,267 were injured in grade crossing
accidents, and of the number fully 95
per cent were autOmobilists.

Ger all the earth, till the onswelling

Ours is the task to speed the gladstone

OF which the prophets sang, when war

No more. when through the darkness Of

Shall come the dawn, when panoplied

Shall vanish meath the sun of liberty

TAKE BABYS FOOTPRINTS.
System at Baltimore Hospital Helped
Mother Prove Claim.

Baltimore.-The new footprint system
of identifying babies at the Maryland
General hospital has cleared up a case
of mistaken identity. This system was
adopted to make sure that babies in
the maternity department did not get
mixed. The footprints Of every baby
born at the institution are kept on file
with the name of the mother.
Laura Jones Of North Carolina be-
came mother three months ago. The
footprints of the child were taken
The mother returned to North Caro-
lima, leaving her baby in charge of an
other woman. About the same time a
baby was found in vestibule. The
police thought Laura Jones had aban-
doned her infant, and a relative identi-
fed the founding as the Jones baby.
Recently Laura Jones came back.
She knew her own baby. The police
authorities were doubtful. At the hos
pital when the footprints Of the two
babies were compared with the record
the mother proved her claim.

U BOATS EQUIPPED WITH
DEVICES 70 CUT NETS
Have Motor Driven Circular Saws
Which Protrude From Both
Sides of Craft.

From reports that reacn us from Eu-
ped some of her Z boats with ingen-
ious devices to enable them to cut their
way through submarine nets. One boat
with double flange of thin sheet steel
protruding from both sides of the bow
Is said to have been destroyed by shell
fire, and the device itself, practically
intact, is said to be in the hands Of
the British admiralty. A second boat,
equipped with heavy motor driven cir
torpedoed merchantne<h, and the cap
tain while in a small boat made draw
ing of the device fG. the admiralty.
Illustrations in the September issue
Of the Popular Science Monthly give
clear idea of these net cutters. The
double fiange of thin sheet steel which
protrudes from both sides of the bow
of the submarine is operated by cleo
trically controlled gears. The fanges
spread on either side of the bow to a
distance of eighteen feet, or thirtysiX
feet in all, whenever the nose Of the
vessel touches an obstruction. Their
action is said to be automatic, al
though an operator within the boat can
extend or withdraw the device at any
time by moving two heavy metal arms.
The q boat equipped with the cir
cular knives is obviously far better
able to cut it's way through net than
the boat just described. 1t does not
bother about device at the bow, fig
uring, no doubt, that the sharp nose
of the vessel and it's rounded hull are
sufficient to get through a net or stop
the boat before it becomes entangled.
However, it does not permit its c<n-
ming tower to go unprotected. Several
strands of stout steel hawsers contain
ing motor driven knives foot in diam
eter and placed about foot apart are
stretched from the bow through the
coming tower to the stern. Striking
a net, the knives would revolve on a
flexible shaft.

Old Chateau Where Famous General
Saw Light of Day Viii Accommodate
Fifty Youngsters, Who Will Later Be
Brought to This Country to Be Fitted

Paris.-To promote deep and last
ing understanding between England,
France and the United States is the
aim of the Lafayette school recently
established in the old Lafayette cha
teau Chateau Chavinac) In Auverne,
France, which will open early in Octo-
Der with fifty French boys as pupils.
The quaint and historic Lafayette
chateau has been purchased by friends
of the American Fund For French He
roes, of which Mrs. William Astor
Chanler is chairman. About $4,000 q
year will be needed to run the schoo:
for fifty boys, and it is hoped that the
response to appeals to the public will
bring enough mkoey so that the insti-
tuition can be enlarged to accommodate
200 boys and can be endowed as per-
manent international center Of instruc-
ton.
For the present the sons of French.
men who have fallen in battle will be
received, carefully selected from lists
submitted by French projects. No boy
older than twelve or younger than six
is taken. Until he is eighteen he re-
ceives the best education that can be
given him by French and English mas
tiers, and when he reaches eighteen he
comes to the United States to study for
three or four years In an American uni
versity or in some branch Of business
or industry which will fit him to take
back American ideas and ideals to be
used In the rebuilding of his country.
AS the plan progresses it is expected
that the sons of British and American
soldiers will receive similar education
in France.
The school has been indorsed by the
highest French authorities and will be
