ONLY FIVE GENERALS
OF CONFEDERACY LEFT

Gordonsville, Va, July 22.-The
death at his home here yesterday of
Brig. Gen. William McComb leaves
only five surviving general officers
of the Army Of the Confederacy. They
are Gen. William Ruffin Cox, of Rich
mond; Gen. Roger A. Pryor, of New
York; Gen. Marcus j. Wright, of
Washington; Gen. Felix II. Robertson,
of Waco, Tex, and Gen. E. McIvor
Law, of Barlow, Fla.
Gen. McComb was a native of Penn
sylvania. He went to Montgomery
county, Tenn, about 1856, to engage
in experimenting the construction Of
Ia large FIGURING mill at Prices Land
ing, on the Cumberland river.
At the beginning of the Civil War
he enlisted as a private in one of the
companies Of the Fourteenth Tennes-
see regiment. He was promoted to
lieutenant soon afterward, and was
made adjutant of the regiment by Col.
w. A. Forbes. This regiment was
part of the brigade of Gen. S. R. An
derson in the Cheat Mountain cam
paign in northwest Virginia, and with
the rest of Loring's division shared in
the hardships of Stonewall Jackson's
winter campaign in Bath, Hancock
and Romney.
At the reorganization of the regi-
ment at Yorktown in the winter Of
1862, William McComb was elected
major. AS such he took part in the
battle of Seven Pines, where the bri-
gade commander, Gen. Hatton, was
killed. Gen. James Archer was then
placed in command OF this brigade.
At the battle Of Cedar Run, Lieut.. Col.
George Harrell was mortally wounded
and McComb succeeded him.
In the second battle of Manassas,
Col. Forbes was killed and McComb
became colonel of the Fourteenth
Tennessee September z, 1862. At the
battle of Charlottesville, Col Nc
Comb was wounded and did not re-
cover in time to take part in the bat
tie of Gettysburg.
On the death Of Gen. Archer, his
brigade was consolidated with that of
Gen. Bushrod Johnson. Col. McComb
was placed in command, receiving his
commission as brigadier general on
January 20, 1865.

GOV ER y MENT NOT TO

Washington, July 10. Neither fix
ing Of cotton prices nor the formation
Of a cotton corpolcticn by the gov
ernmcDt to coke over the entire cot
ton crop, as The United States food ad-
ministration grain corporation is
handling the wheat crop, is likely at
the present time, according to Asbury
+. Lever, chairman Of the house Com
mittec on agriculture and himself a
representative Of cotton state. South
Carolina.
Delegations of Southern bankers.
Southern planters and New York
bankers, all Interested in tho cotton
situation. have been here this week.
They were supposed 20 see the Prcsi-
dent AID Bcrn"rd B"ruch, chairman
Of the war indu3t~ics board. but did
not appear at either office. They saw
Representative Lever and Senator
Smith, acting chairman of the senate
committee on agriculture. "They
haven't been able to decide among
themselves what they want" said Mr..
Lever today. "My committee is not
considering any legislation along such
lines and will not initiate any under
present conditions. If the cotton men
were to agree on a definite plan and
recommend it, Of course, we would
consider it,"

MORALE OF CENTRAL
EMPIRES CRUMBLING

Washington. July 2I-Astounding
proof that the foundations Of the
central powers are now rapidly
crumbling and the morale of their
civilian populations cannot withstand
wears longer was disclosed today by
DR.. Raymond Pearl, statistician Of the
food administration. Through compar-
ison of data gathered by agents Of the
allied governments and the United
States. scientists have established the
following conclusions:
The net DECREASE in birth rates in
1917 was As per cent in Germany and
54 per cent in Hungary.
The aet decrease in England and
France was "a per cent.
Gormany's loss in population was
10000 per million, Hungary's 10000
per million, and England's 10000 per
million.
The marriage rae in England
showed a marked increase but the
rate in the central powers declined
sharply.
great decrease in the mortality
rate in England coupled with the in
creased marriage rate will result in
a net increase in population in the
British Isles as a result of the war.
War greatly increases the death
rate among all persons Of 70 years or
over, due to work and nervous ex-
citcmcnt
The marriage rate cf any country
IS the surcSt indication of the morale
of the nation.

HOW MAJ. ROOSEVELT
WAS WOUNDED

With the Americans at the Marne,
July 22.-Details are now available
regarding the wounding of Major
Theodore Roosevelt. He received a
machine gun bullet in the left leg
Thursday morning, during the initial
phase of the Franco American coun-
ter-offensive
Roosevelt went over the top with his
battalion, following a creeping bar
rage, across a wheat field, when an
enemy machine gun Knocked him
down.
The German artillery was making it
hot for the American storm troops
Several privates dropped at the same
time Major Roosevelt did. Roosevelt
confided the command Of his battalion
to captain. When stretcher bearers
appeared to take him away, Roosevelt
insisted that the enlisted men be car
ried back first
Reaching field dressing station,
Roosevelt bound up his own wound,
telling the surgeons he didn't want to
take up their time
/ Then he rode to the evacuation hos
pltal on the front seat beside the
chauffeur, insisting that the more Sc

I PER CENT JUMP IN
BRITISH SHIPBUILDING

London, July 22.--The German
wireless of July 21 discovered de-
cline in British merchant shipbuilding
and expressed belief that the desired
production for 1918 could not be
reached. 1t gave some figures to
prove" that "there has been no cx-
tension Of the production"
This concern for the British future
was quite unnecessary. British ship
building is going on splcndidly as the
following correct figures will show:
During the year ending June 80
1917, the output Of merchant tonnage
in the United Kingdom was 833,8G3
gross. During the year ending June
80, 1918, it was ,43l ,l50 gross tons
which was an "extension of produc-
ton" Of exactly 597,287 gross tons.
This is an extension Of over =!
per cent.

GERMAN is A POOR LOSER
AND A POOR SPORT
His Press Is Either Angry or Mourn.
fully Shakes Its Head, But the Lo-
cal Anzeiger Still Has the Nerve
to Say the American Army
Lacks the Will to Fight

London, July 22.-German press
comments upon the fighting on the
western front are peculiarly interest
ing. Some Of the journals are frankly
lachrymise while others undertake the
uphill task of cheering up the disap-
pointed German public.
The Koelnische- e-Volkeszeitung is an
CRY and says there is no ground for
Soncealing the fact "that in the ranks
V the German troops were deserters
who utilized their knowledge for base
treachery to the fatherland."
But the newspaper endeavors to re-
. assure its readers, by saying that fur
ther severe battles are impending,
adding that not only in the region east
OF Rheims, but also on the Marine, the
Germans are confronted by new tasks.
1t urges them not to allow the small
tests made of their patience to give
rise to all kinds of wrong concep-
lions.
In the Vossische Zeitung, which is
famous for it's previous insistence that
that England should be beaten to her
knees, Capt. Won Salzmann is allowed
to say that the general prospects and
, the enemy's determination are such
( that he can only shake his head
smournfully and hope for settlement
cas- between equals" 1t ie, he declares,
"the moment of reckoning," which has
come, and he endeavors to comfort his
readers by saying that this war "for
the fatherland, freedom, honor and in
dependence" can only be won if dark
days strengthen the determination to
hold out. "That is how it affects me-"
he declares, setting himself up as a
mobile example for the fatherland to
follow. But he is frankly afraid of
"the fresh Americans with their un-
broken nerve"
On the other hand the Lokal Anzci-
ger processes not to be one little bit
afraid Of the American menace. It
knows how carefully the authorities
have kept the German people in the
sdark upon the size and quality of the
United States army in France, and,
"i|AShoiSt - iSFeltS W Inc Olu-IaS-
ioned dodge Of stimulating contempt
for it. 1t says:
"The American army is evidently
lacking in the one esscntial-the will
to fight. In any case the American
!, army will not be numerous enough to
play an important part till 1920 and
!. then only provided the transport diff
ficuNty is got over and the munition
