Cape. G. A. Blair Confirms in Letter
Story of Horrible Practice.

Greenville, Nov. 1.-Apparent con-
firmation of the charge that the Ger
mans render" the bodies of their
dead soldiers in order to secure oils
and fats is contained in letter made
public here by Miss Myrtle E. Blair,
from her husband, Capt. George A.
Blair, of the One Hundred and Sew
enteenth Infantry (the old Third
Tennessee of the Thirtieth Divis-
io11), which was trained at Camp
Sewer and which has been in the
thick of the fighting during the past
few months in the Cambria area.
After describing some of the fight
ing, Captain Blair, according to a
copy of the letter which Mrs. Blair
has permitted to be used by the news
papers, says: 81 saw something to-
day that I had heard of before-but
never believed, that was the Boche
making grease of their dead. 1 went
into an underground passage way,
climbed a winding stair to long
room where there was q. long table
used for the dismembering and cut
ting up of the bodies. At one end
the bodies were piled high, several
layers deep, while on the other side
were three huge kettles, with parts
of the bodies in them ready to rem
der 1 saw a head and different
parts of the body in one kettle which
had been left in haste. l have seen
lot which is inclined to harden us to
the horrors of war, but this to me
was the most horrible" .

DUAL MONARCHY MAKES UNCON-
OPTIONAL SURRENDER.
Armistice Became Effective Monday
Afternoon.-Italian Troops
Occupy Trieste.
ria is out of

London, Nov. 3.-Austria is out of
the war.
At 3 o'clock Monday afternoon the
armistice, signed this afternoon, will
go into effect. By that time greater
part of italia Irredenta" will be oc-
cupied by Italian troops.
Trieste, Austria's chief seaport and
the heart of the whole Irredenta
movement, already is in Italian
hands. Strong forces were landed
by Italian warships.
Trent, capital of the Trentino,
Italy's ''lost province" swarms with
Italian troops. Udine, the gate to
Venetia, is Italian once more. What
Austrians are still on Venetian soil
are dead, wounded or prisoners.
One hundred thousand captives and
1900 guns have been counted, by the
victors up to late this afternoon.
Italy refused to grant an armistice
as long as the enemy stood upon her
soil. That is the reason for letting
fully IL hours elapse before the ar
mistice becomes operative. Those IL
hours will be taken up by a cleaning
out process
First news that the armistice was
signed was made public here shortly
after Premier Lloyd-George had tele-
phoned it from Paris. The terms will
be published Tuesday.
They are understood to amount to
unconditional surrender.

Senator Benet Offers for Chemical
Warfare Service.

Washington. Oct. 31.-Senator
Christie Benet today fled his appli-
cation to enter the chemical war
fare service of the United States
army and took the physical examina-
tian. It will probably be some days
before. he hears the result Of his ap-

The junior senator from South
Carolina had made his arrangements
for entering the army and had all
but completed the filing of his appli-

present position. What he is doing
now is merely carrying out his origi-
nal intention.

Armistice Granted.

London, OcL. S1.-1ue IuIhISu dI-
mistice took effect at noon today. 1t
Is impossible as yet to publish the
full terms of the armistiee, but they
include the free passage of the Allied
fleets through the Bosphorus to the
Black sea, the occupation of forts on
the Dardanelles and in the Bosphorus
necessary to secure the passage of
the ships, and the immediate repara-
ton of Allied prisoners of war.
The terms of the Turkish armis-
tice, which now are in operation, in
clude the free passage of the Darda-
nelles to the Allied feet, Sir George
I Cave, the home secretary, announced
in the House of Commons today.
Reparation Of British.
Another condition is the immedi-
ate reparation of British war prison
ers.
Other terms, it is learned, comprise
the occupation of the forts of the
Dardanelles and Bosphorus necessary
TO secure passage of the Allied war
ships through the Bosphorus to the
Black sea.
Similar to Bulgaria's.
It is expected, however, the terms
VIII be much on the line of those
given Bulgaria, which amounted to
unconditional surrender, leaving ter
: ritorial questions to the peace confer
ence.
Some uneasiness is expressed by
the newspapers over report that the
Allies are prepared to make\a bar
gain with Turkey by which she would
B be left In possession Of Armenia in re-
turn for a tree passage of the Dar-
daleIles to- enable the Allies to deal
with the German controlled Black

Lieut.. E. w. Springs Brings Down
German Planes.

Lancaster, Oct. 30.-The War De-
partment on October 26, gave out
list of names of American ayiators
fighting with the British royal flying
corps, who brought down enemy.
planes from September 9 to %. The
name of Lieut.. Elliott w. Springs is
again cited among others for distin-
guished bravery in bringing down en-
emy planes.
Col. Leroy Springs has received a
letter, dated September 20, from his
Tson, Lieut.. Springs, stating he had
brought down nine German planes
for which he was officially credited
by, the British government, that he
thinks he brought down six others
over the German lines for which he
has not been able to get official con-
firmation.
Lieut.. Springs has been fighting
actively on the front since the 25th
of May, with the exception Of the
month of July, when he was in q
hospital, owing to a smashup of his
machine the latter part of June. He
wrote that in short time he would
have been in every drome in France.
The war department gives Lieut..
Springs's address as Lancaster, Pa,
and his friends in South Carolina
will object to Pennsylvania claiming
him, though it is obviously clerical
error that his address is not properly
given.

FIVE SCORE LIVES LOST.
One Hundred Bodies Taken From
''Tunnel."

New York, Nov. 1.-Eighty-five
bodies had been taken late tonight
from what is known as the Malbone
street tunnel on the Brighton
Beach line of the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company, where a five car
train running at high speed jumped
the track on curve and struck the
side wall with such terrific force that
the first car was demolished and the
others "buckled" until they were
jammed against the roof of the tun-
mel.
The crash occurred when the train
ahead, said to have been in charge of
a green" motorman, jumped the
track at a switch and another train
running in the same direction plunged
into the rear cars.
The tragedy marked the first day
of strike called by the company's
motormen to enforce the reinstate-
ment of 2 discharged members OF
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers as ordered by the national
labor board. Officials of the COM
pany professed three hours after the
accident to have no definite informa-
tion as to it's cause. They said no
reports had been made to them by
members of the train crew.
District Attorney Lewis, of, Kings
county, declared all the officials OF
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company
and every person connected in any
way with the accident had been or
dered placed under arrest. He as
serted that the company was with
holding the name of the motorman.
High Rate of Speed.
"There is no doubt" Mr.. Lewis
said, ''that the motorman of the
leading train was going at high
rate of speed when he made the turn
into the cut. The front car jumped
the track and buckled. The train
following ran into the stalled car"
According to survivors Of the
wreck the motorman evidently was
unused to the road, as he was COM
PEELED to back up at one point when
he had taken the wrong switch.
Both trains were jammed with
passengers as the strike had resulted
In material reduction in service and
consequently delay.
Immediately aftef the crash the
wrecked cars burst into flames, add.
ing to the terror of those who had
escaped injury and increasing the
peril of those pinned in the wreck.
age.
Police reserves from a dozen sta
tions were rushed to the scene Of the
accident and they Immediately sent
in calls for all the ambulances in
Brooklyn, while Manhattan hospitals
we're asked for assistance. The fire
department was called upon to ai6
the injured and remove the dead.
Rescue work was retarded by the
fact that the crash occurred in deer
cut. It was difficult for relief work
ers or survivors to labor up ano
down the steep concrete walls o1

street tunnel

l4.YfAR OLD BOY
 SAVES 2 NEGROES FROM DROWNING

Cecil Willis May Receive Carnegie Medal for He
 roic Deed.

Cecil Manker Willis, aged IA, son of R. w. Willis, manager of Leo An drews' plantation near the Rob Roy bridge, is hero and he may be award ed Carnegie medal.
 Sunday week ago Cecil went to the Arkansas river and went in swim ming. He was joined later by Elize Adams, 15-year-old negro boy, and another little negro known as "Sonny" aged II, sons of negro plantation hands
 Cecil is pretty good swimmer but the two little negroes were not. After half hours swim, both of them got beyond their depth, became exhausted and faced death in the murky waters of the river.
 Instead of becoming panic stricken and hastening away to get help when he heard cries of distress from the two, Cecil plunged into the river, and brought one to the bank. Tired with his struggle, he returned for the sec ong one. It was mad battle for the drowning negro seized his would-be rescuer in a death-like embrace.
 Cecil fought him off and then seiz- ed him from behind and brought him to bank, where he dropped exhausted.
 The heroic double rescue has been brought to the attention of the Carne- gie foundation and it is very likely that Cecil will resolve a medal and perhaps a cash award.
