American waters was brought
here today by two steamships,

up wireless rs. O. S." calls indi
eating that q ship was being
shelled by u,boat in The vicin-
ity of Nantucket Lightship.
One ship receiving the distress
calls was a British freighter and
the other an American tanker.
Both reported the scene of the
attack as about 90 miles east of
Nantucket and the time about 8
o'clock yesterday morning. The
identity of the submarines vic
tim was not learned by either
vessel, as far as is publicly
known.
According TO the commander
OF the British vessel the mes

Wounded in American Hospital
Bombed by German Airman

Washington, Sept. l5.-The
flrSt complete detailed account
of the German air attack on
American base hospital No. 5 in
France on the night of Tuesday,
September 4, has reached this
country in report nom Mai.
Gen. M. P. Murphy, head of the
Red Cross commission in France.
1t was in this attack that Lieut..
William T. Fitzsimmons of Kan
saS City, the first American Off
Ger TO give his life in the war,
was killed; three other officers.
six privates, a woman nurse and
d patients from the British lines
were wounded. An American
Red Cross Inspector returning to
Paris from the scene told the
story as follows:
THE airplane attack occurred
at II O'Clock at night. Just at
that time fortunately no convoy
of wounded was being received
or the list of casualties would
have been far greater as one of
the bombs fell into the center of
the large reception tent to which
the wounded are first borne for
examination. Ten seconds suf-
feed for the dropping of the
bombs from the fast flying plane
and within less thana minute
afterward the surgeons of the
hospital were at the task of col
lecting and attending those who
had been struck down. And for
"a hours they were at work in
the operating room, one surgeon
relieving another when the lat
ter from simple exhaustion could
work no longer. And the very
next dav, Just as if nothing had
happened, these same surgeons
were called upon TO receive and
care for 200 wounded sent in
from the the trenches of the Brit
lsh expeditionary force. The
hospital. which is on the Ere lch
coast, has l,SO0 beds under can
vas in a quadrangle 500 fee
square, is in a district where
there are many similar institu
tons ana is unmistakable as 6
hospital. AT the same time the
German aviator flew over i
most of the surgical staff wa.
engaged in making rounds O
the ward. Lieutenant Fltzsim
mons, however, was standing a
the door flap of his tent.

Big Artillery Range for Chesterfield
County; Largest Camp In u. S.
Russian Rebellion Ends With
Arrest of Korniloff


Arrest of Korniloff
Russia's internal situation was
considerably clarified by Satur-
days news dispatches which
announces the arrest of General
Korniloff, marking the definite
end of his revolt, and the forma
ton of a new cabinet at Petro
grad. Publication of the names
of the new cabinet members was
deferred for day.
With General Korniloff was
arrested General Lokomsky,
who was in command of the
Russian Northern front when
the revolt started and who cast
his lot with his chief. What
the fate of the two men will be
is problematical. Opinion in
Russia seems widely divergent
as to the treatment that should
be meted out to them.
Sweden is determined to do
everything possible to set things
right so far as she was concern
ed with the German dispatches
transmitted through her foreign
office, as brought out in the re-
cent Washington disclosures,
Foreign Minister Lindemann in
formed the Associated Press
correspondent at Stockholm.
She has stopped the practice and
will not renew it. he stated, and
will ask Germany for an ex-
planation of its abuse of privi.
Ieges.
Germany and Austria have
proclaimed the creation of a
regency to govern Poland, the
two nations retaining great con-
troll OF foreign affairs during the
period of occupation and Of
certain other powers of govern
ment, not vet made clear.
Military activities on most of
the front seem at minimum
for this season, when active op
erations are still possible virtual
ly everywhere in tie field of
hoStilities.
Pelrcgrad, Sept. 15.-General
Korniloff, leader of the recen,
rebellion against the provisional
government, and General Lo.
komSky, the commander of the
Northern front, who refused to
take command of the Russian
armies after Korniloff was de
posed, have been arrested.
The members of the colnm1s,
sion OF inquiry are due at mohi
ley at midnight and the arrested
persons will be given into their
hands. Such other officers as
the commission selects also will
be arrested.
News of the arrest of General
Korni!off was first conveyed in
telegram received by Premier
Kerensky from General Alexieff
chief of staff. So far only the
following details have been re.
ceived:
AT 10 o'clock last night, Gen,

Government Seeking 100000
Acres of Land In Chester
field County for Military
Purposes
Final Decision by
September 3Oth

AT last an apparent use has
been found for the bald sand
hills of a portion of Chesterfield
county, The Government has
has taken notice OF the ideal
military camp site in this coun-
ty, and it is believed that the
biggest army training camp in
the United States is soon to be
established in the central, thinly-
settled section of the county.
An army official recentlv came
to Cheraw and let it be known,
that there is chance for the es-
tablishment of whopping big
training camp. and Immediately
the wheels began to turn. The
matter was taken up through
Mr.. G. w. Duvall of Cheraw,
and he soon enlisted the help OF
many others. The work OF Sc
curing options on all the land
in this great body of 100000
acres began at once, and at this
time it is practically complete.
This afternoon Mr.. Duvall
goes TO Charleston and tomor-
row morning he LAYS the entire
matter before the authorities.
There are several more possible
sites, and the two most feasible
ones will be selected. Then en-
gineers will look over both sites,
and the final decision will be
made and reported to the War
Department not later than Sep
tember 30th.
1t is understood that this is to
be the finishing up training
camp for the troops from all the
camps in the United States, and
is intended to take the place OF
the training behind the lines IN
France, The troops would be
brought here and given sixty
davs of training just as much
like real warfare as it is possible
to make it. Light artillery, ma
chine guns, rifles and very prob
ably airplanes would be brought
into use. The soldiers would be
given actual trench experience
and sham battles would vLry
probably be almost daily oc
Currence.
No better place could be found
III the United States. This site
is high, dry, healthy and hilly
The King sand hills could stop
all the bullets that can ever be
shot into them, and be none the
worse.
Right through the proposed
site goes Black creek with its
numerous branches so that there
would be no scarcity of water
Thousands of acres of this land
have never been cultivated, and
the principal growth is stubby
black jack and wire grass. One
may travel miles without sign OF
civilization. OF course, some
sections are settled, some oI
them quite Tricky, but these are
the exception and not the rule
Someone has said that there are
approximately 1,700 homes in
this entire body of one hundred
and fifty thousand acres. Much
OF the land is owned by non
residents, who live IN Monroe,
Charlotte and other places. Mr..
Bonsal. the railroad promoter,
owns eleven thousand acres.
Mr.. Duval states that the
large land owners are giving
options at a reasonable price,
while the small holders are as
rule, much higher. The Gov
ernment asks for leases or out
right sales.
There are many good people
who live within the proposed
boundaries and MANY Of Them

STOCKHOLM, June 27.-Before the
workingmens and soldiers congress,
sitting in Petrograd, NJ Kerensky, man
OF the hour in Russia, has made an
other one of those marvellous demon
STATIONS by which he so often pulls a
desperate situation together
He gave blow for blow, turned sat
ire as weapon against the satirfst,
and swept what two minutes before
had been a hostile assemblage to such
a storm of cheering that his words
were lost In the tumult
Again he employed his favorite
weapon-candor uttered with ferocity
and he trimuphed.
Appears as Former Rebel.
Coming before the congress, as he
said, not as a cabinet minister but as
an old revolutionist who had suffered
for the faith, he demanded support
for orderly policies, saying:
Avoid chaos, for from it can come
only a dictator. But | am not he,
though many wish to make me such. :"
He defended his repressive policies
which are directed against the move
ments for an immediate autonomy in
Finland and the Ukraine, on the
ground that this was question which
the provisional government had no
right to settle and which must be de-
cided in the impending constitutional
assembly
Fight Only With Truth.
He went on to declare that he was
no enemy to discussion, saying: Il
always have been for the right of free
speech" whereat a member OF the
radical Bolschaviki group shouted
ironically, Thanks, very much
Mr.. Kerensky caught up those words
and said, Il am not saying that to get
your thanks, but to get you into the
habit of fighting honest men only with
the truth
Again the ieering voice interrupted
with the words, SIS it because of that
that you are busy driving soldiers
from the 'front.'" This reference was
to the incident when kerensky order
ed the colonel to put out of his regi-
ment soldier who spoke against the
plan for a further Russian offensive.
Critic Soon Forgiven.
Searching out the interrupter with
blazing eyes and raising his voice to
a shout, Kerensky replied do you
know the end of that story? That
soldier was given his freedom to go
where he liked. but he came back and
asked me for forgiveness and permits
sion to stay with his regiment. Fur
thermore, in the presence of 10000
soldiers, l asked if there were any
who were for determination with the
Germans, and they answered, Not
one"

taunt: They said that because they
