these buoyant boxes. Mr.. Donnelly
personally will supervise this final
phase of the safety equipment.
The first reports of the non-sink-
able ship, announced by William L.
Saunders, vice chairman of the naval
consulting board lat dinner Satur-
day night to University Of Pcnnsyl-
vania alumni, gave all credit for de-
velopment of Mr.. Donnelly's contriv-
ance to the naval consulting board.
Commissioner Donald tonight, how
ever, said the ship he'd been equipped
with the cells under the direction of
the shipping board.
The boards division of shi pprotec-
ton, he said, had recommended to the
board a. July the tes; of Mr.. Don
nelly's invention, offerei t. the beard
at that time.
The Lucia, a 9,00-ton vessel, for
merly belonged to. Austria, was rcqui-
sitioned for the purpose. and expert
ments wre bgun. Only recently, after
about four months of tests and new
designing. the equipment was com
pleted.
Although no actual test of the
lhcia's safety from torpedoes has
Deen made, the mathcma Ciral calcula-
t!ons FROM small scale experiments,
says Mr.. Donald, are considered suf-
ticient proof that even wi, a hole
fclty feet long blown in her side, she
would remain safely afloat, supported
by the honeycomb of cells.
Each cell is unit, independent of
any other for its supporting quality
and the great number of them, in I'D
dltlon to the ordinary safety device of
watertight doors and other watrtirht
compartments on every seapoing YES
sci, gives so great a degree Of buoyan-
cy that two or three torpedocs would
not be likely to work havoc enough to
sink such a ship.
A vessel SO mashed and torn by tor
pedoes, with gaping holes below the
watcrline, could remain on the surface
indefinitely, simply water logged with
no danger to her crew. Unless unus-
ually rent open, she could proceed to
port, however slowly. In~any event,
neither lives or cargo would be likely
to be lost, for succoring vessels either
could tow her to port or salvage at
the spot the undamagcd part of the
cargo.
The final proof of the Luca's float
ing ability in distress was to have
been made by attempting to sink her
by flooding her in drydock. This,
however, was deemed, In the face of
the expert opinion on the effectiveness
OF tn equipment, waste of time.
| In the judgment Of her inventor and
the shipping boards experts the prin-
ciple is so certain that no further de-
lay is to be allowed in rushing the
Lucia, unprotected by any warships,
into the most infested submarine
waters.

Barnwcll, Feb. 10.-Special: One

another woman was seriously injured
here this afternoon about 6 o'clock
when an automobile in which they
were riding dashed head-on into a
westbound freight engine at the At

railroad intersects the public road
leading from Barnwell to Allcndalc.
The dead are: Miss Ready, Fred Lee,

the accident occurred.

HOW FARMERS MAY GET
FLOUR WITHOUT MEAL
Food Administrations Plan for Those
Who Have Their Own
Corn Ground

Columbia, Feb 9.-The national
food administration has given author
ity for modification Of the pound
for-pound law in order to give relief
to the farmer in South Carolina who
has his own corn ground locally. Much
dissatisfaction has been cause ed among
farmers, who felt that it was unreas-
enable to ask them to buy Northern
and Western meal when they had
their own home ground meal which
they could use. There was no pro-
test concerning reduction of the con-
sumption of flour, but simply that
the farmer did not wish to buy meal
from his store when he had better
meal or grits at home.
Under the new rule the farmer can
have his corn ground by miller, who
will give him certificate This Ger
tificate must be filed with the grocer
by the farmer, whcreupon he can buy
an equal amount Of flour, not in ex-
cess of half a barrel.
This plan was recommended by
practically the unanimous ovtc Of the
county food administrators at their
meeting in Columbia on the 4th in
slant, and has been advocated by a
large number of prominent people
having knowledge Of condit ions in
South Carolina.
The national administration was by

age will be a def to the U-boats for
the most practical test possible-their
craftsmanship.
1t has been intended to make a test
of the Lucia in drydock, but it was
learned tonight that John A. Donald,
vice president of the emergency fleet
corporation and shipping board COM
missioner, that the drydock test had
been abandoned for drastic trial in
the proving grounds of the danger
zone.
William F. Donelly, inventor of the
non-sinkable construction of the Lu-
cia, marine engineer of New York,
will have complete charge of the load
ing of the vessel.
Although the Lucia is fitted with
10000 of the water and airtight cells,
permanently attached to the frames
and deck beams and other available
spaces of the vessel, about Is to 20
per cent of the cargo space must be
packed with additional numbers of

and on Saturday gave its consent to
the plan. For the information Of
county food administrators and food
representatives over this State ,millers
and farmers, he following is a de-
scription of the procedure necessary
for farmers to obtain flour upon a
miller's certificate:
The farmer takes his corn to the
mill and has it ground He signs a
certificate which the millers will have,
stating number in his family or ten
ants for which he buys, the amount
of flour he has OIL hand; anu agreeing
to use in his household equal weights
of flour and substitutes. Thereupon
the miller signs certificate as to the
number Of pounds of meal ground.
This certificate is then filed with the
grocer, and thereuron the farmer can
buy an equal weight of flour, but in
no case in excess of onc-half barrel.
This relieves the only difficulty that
has been encountered in South Caro-
There has been no objection what
socvcr to the reduction in consump-
tion of flour, and the farmer has been
patriotically ready to reduce his con.
sumption of flour, but he very nat
urally did not desire to buy more of
what he already had an abundance in
his home.
Blanks are being mailed to the
county food administrators for dis
tribution to millers. They were mailed
yesterday afternoon. Millers should
apply to the county food admnistra-
tor of his county for the blanks.

BY J. w. T. MASON
Written for the United Press

Realization among the people of the central pow
ers that Germany has not won the war by Won Hin
denburg's strategy of slaughter in western France
is undoubtedly responsible for Count Czernin's
new peace drive.
The utmost significance must be attached to the
fact that Immediately upon the conclusion of Ger
many's push into Picardy, the Austro-Hungarian
foreign minister suggests he is willing to accept
peace without annexations.
If the central powers believed they were win
ming the war such declaration at this time would
be impossible. Count Czernin practically invites
the allies to make offer of -annexationist
as diplomatic language allows, that he would ac-
cept it.
By "non- annexationist peace" however,
Count CZernin means in particular that France
shall abandon all claim to Asace-Lorraine. This is
impossible, not only from the standpoint of the
moral victory which it necessary for the worlds
democraces to win over Prlssian militarsm.
Alsace-L orraine's future has become symbolic of
the kind of world relations that are to exist when
the war is For that reason it is no longer
clusively French question but now an American
question and British question as WELL
Count Czernin's intimation that peace may be
had if the allies agree to reject Frances claims to
Asace- Lorraine is the strongest possible proof
that ustrO-Hungary is anxious about the outcome
of the war.
If the TeutOnic advance toward Amiens repre-
sents great triumph for the German militaristic
machine, Count CZernin cannot see it.
His newest peace speech is the most damaging
comment Germanys latest offensive that has
been made since it became evident that the of
fensive had failed to put the Anglo French armies
out of the war.

Berlin puts on her finest clothes, rings her glad
