florida State Highway
Comm ission Boosts
Central Route

Jacksonville, Jan. 20-With the
opening of the new bridge across
me St Mary's river at Folkston,
carly next month, and with only
some six to eight miles of un-
comfortable roadway between
jacksonville and the bridge, the
front gate to Florida will have
been well opened, is the opinion
of F. O. Miller, good roads man,
a state highway commissioner,
and general and specific urger and
compeller Of good roads for Flor
ida and those contiguous parts OF
other states, that have to be pass
ed through to get to Florida.
Mr.. Miller characterizes the
opening of the bridge and the
elimination OF the old ferry, as the
one greatest thing Of the past
year in making for more through
auto travel from the North and
West to Florida.
He has Just been over the az
road the entire distance, and f.
declares there is no bad road
in the entire link, although there
are six or eight miles of what NAV
be called uncomfortable" road
way, which will now soon be
made good also.
The claying of roads Of sand
foundation are often the cause OF
much dissatisfaction at the start,
for it takes some time for the clay
to become an integral part of the
surface, and naturally until there
IS some rain and travel on these
roads there will be more or less of
cutting the rough. Soon, how
ever, the cementing of tbs two
materials becomes accomplished
and then there results the finest
of roadways-indeed experts have
declared that such a roadway is
superior to brick.
Saves Sixty Miles
The new short cut, that is
opened by the new bridge, means
saving of some sixty miles be-
tween Waycross and Jacksonville
and that is actually to any part
of Florida, except the extreme
western part. In addition to this
distance cutting, there is made bv
the bridge the only ferryless route
to Florida from the north and
west.
The new bridge is not an ex-
penslve affair, but It is a safe and
comfortable approached and con-
venlently located crossing, where
has, heretofore, been ferry of
more or less crudity.
Mr.. Miller says that with the
opening of this bridge. the last
link in the chain of good roads
from Georgia to the last wished
tor place in this state. and he saws
that after Florida is reached
there is a stretch and network
OF good roads paved or hard sur
raced that cannot be equaled or
eNcellcd in the entire country.

had landed in the sick bay. Here there

These four were hurled into the next
compartment by the air pressure; there
they lay unconscious.
The Lutzow was now a complete

The night news Of the approach Of two
British cruisers and five destroyers
was received and just at that critical
time the fore and middle bulkheads
gave way
"0rderS were given to quickly carry
the wounded to the stern. Then the
order rings out: All hands muster In
division order abaft' A tumult arises
on the lower deck, for everybody is
now bent on saving his life. 1t is i'm
possible IN that short space Of time to
bring up all the wounded, for they are
scattered everywhere. Eighteen men
had the good fortune to BIO carried up
but all the rest who could not walk Or
crawl had to be left behind.
"The q men shut up in the Diesel
dynamo chamber had heard the order
through the speaking tube, for many
mad with anguish, screamed through
the tube for help, and It was learned
that two Of their number lay bound be-
cause they had become insane. In
spired by their sense Of duty, these
sealed-up men had continued to carry
on their work in order to provide the
ship with light.
THE torpedo.boats now quickly took
off the crew of the LutzOw, and those
left behind were doomed to death. It
was resolved that no piece of the yes

An order was given and torpedo cleft
the waters. Just then seven men were
seen running like madmen round the
rear-deck Overfatigued as they were

sleep and only just awakened. AS the
torpedo exploded, the Lutzow's bow
quickly dipped, and the stern rose un

over and sank, forming a great whir

into the depths.
when the roll was called 1t appear
ed that there were 1908 survivors Of
the LutzOw; 597 men had persisted in
the battle
