WORLD HAS CHANGED SOME
Strong Men Are Not Likely
to Be Duplicated.


George Hackenschmidt was pretty
strong man and many are the tales
told of his wondrous feats of strength.
But the Russian lion was a weakling
compared to a certain man who lived
on the southern coast of Ireland.
1t is said of this particular Irish
man that when he went fishing for
whales he always used a three-inch
hawser for line and compound an
Choir for hook. He'd bait his hook
with couple of sheep, or maybe a
calf, whirl it around his head TWO or
three times and send it sailing out
into the ocean.
We forgot to mention that he usual
ly used an old cannon or something for
sinker.
Atlas used to do pretty neat lit
tie turn in holding the world on his
shoulders. But it must be remembered
that in his time the world wasn't as
heavy as it is now. There weren't so
many people and practically no heavy
machinery, and big guns and monu-
ments and bridges and Wilbert Robin
son and Bill Taft and others.-kansas

Pershing Paid for Pig.

The French papers delight In an
ecdotes of the good relations between
the American soldiers and the peas
ants. One of these stories, with which
General Pershings name is coupled
is printed this week.
"a big American automobile tore
through a French village on its way
to an American camp" says a Lyons
paper. Unfortunately pig belong
ing to an old peasant woman strayed
into the path of the car and was killed.
The old lady was heartbroken. But a
few days later a letter came for her,
inclosing a check for 100 francs, and
saying how sorry the writer was for
the death of her pig.
''The signature was that Of General
Pershing."

LOADED TRANSPORT HIT
BY TORPEDO OF HUN SUB
$500 Yank Troops Taken off Steamer
by Accompanying Fleet of
Destroyers

Washington. Sept. 12.-News of the
torpedoing of the British liner Persic,
with $500 American troops on board,
in the war zone September 6, was
given to the American people yester-
day. first through the British admiral
ty and then later through the navy
department.
All the soldiers were rescued by ac-
companying destroyers, the steamer it
self was beached, and the enemy sub
marine is believed TO have been ac-
counted for.
Officials here viewed the result of
the attack more as an allied success
than disaster. The fact that the
steamer was torpedoed when she was
endeavoring to overtake the conveyed
fleet of transports after overcoming
engine trouble which had forced her.

rine commanders still are fearful of
troop ships in convoy, and
the immediate and completely suc-N
cessful assistance rendered by the de-
stroyers was taken as an additional
evidence that the conveying system
new in vogue is practically perfect.

(War Review for September 14)
The American First army has car
ried out the initial task assigned to
1.-THE leveling of the famous st. Mi
hiel salient in Lorraine.
In a little more than "a hours not
only had the work been accomplished,
but General Pershing's men had all
the important towns. villages and stra-
tegic positions in the sector within
their hands and were standing on she
banks of the Moselle river at Pagny,
looking across the stream into Ger
man territory. And the southern outer
Notifications of Metz, the great Ger
man stronghold in Lorraine, We're only
four miles distant.
Large numbers of Germans had
been taken prisoner-more than -
900 had been counted and others were
still on their way back to the pris-
oner cages-and many guns and ma
chine guns and great quantities of am
munition and other war stores We're
in American hands.
From Nationwide, on the north,
across the salient eastward to Pagny,
the Americans have closed the mouth
of the big sack that extended south
ward to st. Mihiel, trapping within
it by their fast advance all the enemy
forces who failed to take refuge in
flight when the great commandment
of Thursday morning heralded the ap-
proach of the offensive.
Railroads Captured.
In addition. along the eastern side
of the heights north of Nationwide
the Americans have debOuched from
the hill region and are astride the
running from Commercy to
Verdun. Likewise the Tliacourt-
Metz and Nancy-Metz railroads are in
American hands.
Beginning in the northwest and
the salient eastward, Fres-
nes, Les Eparges, Nationwide. Preny
and Pagny and all the ground lying
between them are in American hands,

Although the operation of the Amer

it nevertheless cannot but

cans and the front in this sector was
reduced from some 40 miles to little
under 20 miles.
The latest news from the st. MihieI
sector shows that the battle line now
runs directly from Pagny on the Mo-
seIIe river to HattonviIlefand along the
foot of the heights of the Mouse.
Pagny, town on the MoseIe river,
is on the western border of Germany.
In addition to the 10000 prisoners
who have been counted, large num-
bers of Germans are still coming in.
Most of the villages captured by
were left in good condition by the
Germans. The town of ST. MihieI was
practically undamaged. The Germans
left the railroad from Verdun to Com
mercy, TouI and Nancy intact, and this
road will prove a great help to the
entente allies. ]
Another valuable line of rail from
Thaiucourt to ST. Mihiel by which the
Germans fed their troops in the salient
was also left intact. The operation of
the Americans must be regarded as
big local success. All the detectives
were reached.
