Unfortunate Domestic Trouble.

The Anderson Tribune of Septem-
Der II carried the story printed be-
low concerning parties residing at
Westminster. For the reason that
we felt sure that there was a mis-
take In the announcement, and we
were unable to confirm the report,
we refrained from using the article
last week. The error consists in the
initials Of Mr.. Singleton. The 81. f..
Singleton" should be 81. E. Single
ton,' the balance Of the report being
correct as far as we are able to ascer-
tain. The notice Is as follows:
"Policeman John W. Brown was
called to local hotel last night.
When he arrived, according to infor-
nation furnished the Tribune man
by the hotel proprietor, he was told
that he was called for the purpose Of
being a witness at divorce suit that
would follow. The officer was called
by j. f. Singleton, said to be a prom
inent citizen Of Westminster. From
tte story given out, Mr.. Singleton
:lad suspicioned his wife and a trav-
cling man by the name Of w. A. Shell
ton, of Richmond, Va. Mrs. Single
ton had left home Sunday afternoon
and came to Anderson. Mr.. Single
ton followed. He found Mrs. Single
ton registered at local lo'c'. He
found the man he SUSPECT: ..uI had
also registered. In the company of
the officer and the proprietor the
room OF Mr.. Shelton was visited. He
was not in. Chairs were secured and
all three gentlemen Ieeped over the
transom to the door uf the room oc-
cupied by Mrs. Singh -on--and they
were rewarded for their trouble by
seeing Mrs. Singleton and Shelton
asleep. Mr.. Singleton requested Off,
Ger Brown not to make an arrest.
Positive proof of her unfaithfulnesg
was all I wanted" Mr.. Singleton is
said to have remarked, as he walked
down to the hotel office, registered, :,
secured room and supposedly went
to. bed and to sleep.
MRS. Singleton is said to be about
25 years OF age and very pretty"

HOOK WORM INQUIRY
is NOW IN PROGRESS

FORT BLISS, Texan investiga-
ton is being made by army medical
officers here to ascertain to what
extent hookworm is prevalent among
soldiers at the fort and in camp
here. The investigation is not be-
ing made with all of the troops,
only those from the IA states known
to be breeding grounds for hook
worm being used for the tests that
are being carried out at the base
hospital, Major H. B. McMurdo, of
the medical corps, had charge of
the experiments. A new system of
locating and isolating the germ has
been discovered and Major McMurdo
says the germ is found by this new
system where, under the old system
it was overlooked in all but the we'll
developed cases.

SENATE PASSES
MAN-POWER BILL
TENTATIVELY
Work of Fight Amendment to Man
Power Bill Is Death With
Tentatively by Senate.

WASHINGTON Senate ten
tatively passed the work of fight
amendment to the man-power bill,
providing that this clause does not
apply to strikers that submit their
grievances to the War Board for
adjustment and who return to work
pending the decision of this board
This amendment will have far
reaching effect in the industrial dis
tricts, and will have a tendency to
stimulate production in industries
turning out work for the Govern
ment.
1t acts as both protection to the
Government and to the laboring
class. 1t still gives labor a chance
to demand new wage scales, better
hours and working conditions, but
they must submit these grievances
to the War Board for final settle
ment, and must continue to work
and increase production in the mean
time, pending a decision. In the
meantime, however, the Government
reaps the advantage of the increased
production while the War Board is
considering the matter. Failure to
do this places the strikers involved
under the work of fight clause i'm
mediately and they will be liable
! ii immediate draft. A great num-
Der of strikes of the past year have
been warranted by conditions and
were justifiable, but a number of
them were the result of German
propaganda and methods to hinder
the Government in it's work, and
succeeded in lots of cases This
amendment changes all this; and
where the grievances are just, the
War Board will grant what is equit-
able, but where the demands are
excessive, the strikers must con-
tinue to work under the old con-
ditions or fight. .~

ing, however, the Huns were forced
to give ground everywhere and were
finally compelled to evacuate the
town, which the French troops i'm
mediately occupied.

a very strong resistance. Several
counter attacks launched by the

IS SUNK
BY MISTAKE BY
MERCHANT SHIP
Converted Yacht, Doing Duty As
Sub Chaser, Sunk By Incoming
Armed Merchantmen.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The navy
department received the report to-
day of the sinking of the armed
converted yacht now known as SUBJ
marine chaser No. 209, off Fire
Island by the incoming armed mer-
chant vessel Felix Taussig. Seven
teen members of the chaser's crew
including her commanding officer,
and executive officer are missing !;
and eight survivors, some of whom
are wounded, have been landed.
The submarine chaser No. 209
was manned entirely by naval re-
serve men and ordinarily operates
out of Philadelphia She belonged
to the patrol squadron on duty off
the coast and was on this service
when she was mistaken for an enemy
submarine in the darkness early to-
day by the armed merchantmen,
who opened fire on her with all of
her batteries and sent her to the
bottom.
The captain of the merchantmen
which sank the chaser has offered
no explanation yet, but it is thought
that he either failed to see or did
not understand the signals flown.

WITH THE BRITISH-The ex-
tension of the advancing British
line north of the Scarpe have now
brought them to within easy strik-
ing distance of a good part of the
Hindenburg line, back of which lies
open country with terrain AID roads
in excellent condition for he move
ment of tanks and horses.
The British again made steady
progress today along the battle
front, especially around Bapaume
and on both sides of the Somme
river. 1t now begins to look as
though the enemy is fighting rear
guard actions only in an effort to
delay the advance of the British
until they can move their war ma
terial and supplies to the rear.
There are ample signs of great
er confusion than ever before among
the Hun troops behind the lines and

have been reduced to the strength

Workmen are now busy laying
pipes to the machine shop and thi.

house. Both of these buildings will
have a heating plant of their own
A boiler to serve this purpose will
