Death Of Mrs. Elizabeth White.

Death of Mrs. Elizabeth Whlte.
Elizabeth Taylor Starke was
born in Richmond, Va, March
9th, 1881, and at the time of
her death on April 1, 1917, was
Sc years and four days old. AT
the early age of thirteen she
Joined the Baptist church and
during the long and useful years
of her life she remained a true,
faithful Christian woman, who
loved her home, her children,
her friends and her church and
at the time of her death was it's
oldest member. At the age of
eighteen she was married to
William C. White, also a native
of the state of Virginia, who died
eight years ago on Sept. the
25th.
Mrs. White is survived by
three daughters, Mrs. ]. M. Dy-
sart of Higginsville, Mrs. Vir-
ginia Johnson of Kansas City
and Mrs. Geo. F. Zeysing of
Dover. Ten grand children and
several great grand children, also
survive. She was a woman whose
life was full of kind words and
good deeds and although she has
gone from them her memory
will still live as a precious treas
ure in the hearts of her child
rem. She died as she had lived,
quietly, peacefully, triumphant
ly, and we feel that she has en-
tered into that rest which is
prepared for the people of God.
Her funeral was preached at
the home on Monday afternoon
by Rev. Pearson of Glasgow, and
she was laid to rest in the Dover
cemetery under a wreath Of
beautiful and fragrant flowers
silent tokens of the love and es.
TEEN in which she was held by
relatives and friends.

YANKEE SOLVES
U-BOAT PROBLEM
DEVICE TO DESTROY suBMAR.
INES REPORTED INVENTED.
IS ACCEPTED BY GOVERNMENT
Chairman of Naval Consulting Board
Makes Unofficial Statement-Ma-
chine Given Test by Brit
ish Government

New York, May 7.--American inven-
tive genius has found the solution of
the German submarine problem and
new American Inventions will end the
submarine peril.
This statement was made by Will
liam l.. Saunders as an expression of
personal opinion and not in his Off
cial capacity as chairman of the naval
consulting board. He was careful to
disclaim official authorization for it.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels ex-
pressed in Washington the hope that
Mr.. Saunders is correct in his view.
He declared the invention will have to
stand the test of service. The prob
lem will be solved, he said, adding
1T is only a question of tlme.'
Chairman Is Skeptical.
AS the official spokesman of the
naval consulting board, Thomas Robins
gave this statement:
IF Mr.. Saunder was correctly
quoted as saying that some American
genius has perfected an invention
which will clear the waters of subma-
rineS, he must know of some invention
which is not known to me or to the
other members of the board. We are
still searching for exactly that kind of
invention"
The statement of Mr.. Saunders
caused CONSERVATION. 1t was charac-
terized as Il most unfortunate happen.
Ing. 1t was objected TO on two
grounds: First, that If justified, II
would tend to forewarn the enemy; If
unjustified it would have the damaging
effect of an anti-climax.
Given Two Hard Tests.
A reporter received from an inventor
an account of one of the inventions
upon which Is seems certain the orig.
inal announcement of Mr.. Saunders
was based. No details can be given.
This much, however, can be said
The invention is designed for agrees
sive warfare against submarines. 1t Is
| the result of the genius of man living
in New York. 1t has been accepted b,
the Washington government.
1t has been given fairly extensive
test by the British admiralty, with re
suits sufficiently satisfactory to lead
both governments to entertain high
hopes.
The inventor says that the British
admiralty test has convinced him OF
the practical merit of his invention
He believes it will accomplish It's pur
pose and has been told TINS view is
held in official circles. He is under
strict orders not to make public de-
tails of the invention.
