LYMUS SMITH, he of long residence in
the state Of Washington, and widely known
among the BAPTIST fraternity of the North
west, passed to his great reward last week
and was buried Sunday from the Mt. Zion
Baptist church. The funeral services were
largely attended and throughout very pa
thetic. He had been a member Of two Bap-
fist congregations, one at Roslyn Washing
ton, and the one in Seattle, and in both Of
them he had been the quintessence Of faith
fulness. His former pastor, Rev. Brown
said he was one Of those church members
that was of real service to the pastor, be-
cause he always struggled to do a little
more than was his duty. Rev. S. A. Frank
lin Of Kennydale; Rev. Hammonds of Sc
attic and Rev. j. P. Brown Of Roslyn, each
briefly related their observations of him as
a man and brother and mourned without
comfort his seemingly untimely end. The
Rev. W. d. Carter spoke briefly of Brother
Smith, but he was overcome with grief
that he was unable to say very much Pa
thetic resolutions of coincidence were read
by z. L. Woodson representing the trustee
board; by w. w. Casmon representing the
U. B. F.; by Miss Vivian Chainey on behalf
of the Sunday School; by Miss Anderson on
behalf of the B. Y. U. P and by Mrs w.
w. Casmon representing the choir of the
church. He was buried under the auspices
of the U. B. F. lodge.

ROBERT JOHNSON of Gle Elum, who
for some time lived in Seattle, was visitor
to the Big City this week. "For the next
year, at least, I will reside in South Gle
Elum and associate myself with my father
in the hog raising business. We already
have number Of breeders and some time
in February we expect a number of pigs
If properly handled, these pigs in six
months will weigh about ITS pounds, dress

been named a committee of one to make ar
engagements for the local branch to hold
public meeting for the purpose of raising
funds for the assistance of the families of
the colored soldiers who were hanged, as
well as for those sent to prison for life, from
Fort Sam Houston, and to aid in the de-

REV. J. p BROWN of Roslyn, Washing
ton, was visitor to the Big City last Sun
day and Monday. He is pioneer of East
ern Washington living first in Spokane
He moved to Roslyn about twenty-five years
ago, when he was called to the passionate of
the Baptist church Of that place and he has
pastored it continuously ever since He is
practically the founder of the Northwest
Baptist Association, which was organized
IN the interest of the colored Baptist
churches of this section of the country.
When he first moved to Roslyn there were
nearly 1000 colored folks living in and
around the coal mining camp, but there are
not more than half that number at present
Rev. Brown is hustler in Roslyn as well

voted it a most delightful evening.
A MEETING PLACE. public auditor
ium, someplace where everybody and his
brother feel free to go and have their say
is the need of the colored folk of Seattle at
present. To be sure, they can hire the vari-
GUS halls, if they do not happen to be en-
gagede but at that they are expensive and
the rent for any one of them cuts great
big hole in the amount taken in at enter
tainments given for charitable purposes. If
ten men would get their heads together they
could soon have a hall or meeting place for
the community at comparatively low fig
ure and the hall would in less than year
pay for itself, and no one would be out any
great amount of money. Once on time the
Afro American hall on East Madison was
literally patronized, but the promoters got
in tangle among themselves and the hall
was closed and it has not been occupied for
quite few years. A similar proposition
m the same neighborhood would pay at this
time and pay we'll and Cayton's Weekly
hopes that number Of enterprising men
and women will get their heads together and
decide to have common hall, which will be
open to any one who wants the same, and at
reasonable price.

D'Annunzio Is Decorated by TWO
Kings for Deeds Of
Bravery.

In Addition to 7Triumphs as an Author
and Aviator, LyAnnunzio Has
Shown Marked Ability as
Statesman and Politician.

Rome.-Two rulers, the kings re-
spectively of Great Britain and Mon
tenegro, have conferred medals on Ga
brielle D'Annunzio.
Without the history Of this mans re-
markable career fresh in mind the
reader of this news is hardly likely to
realize the fact that in D'AnnunZio
is embodied probably the highest type
of contrasting versatility now living
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1918-01-25

The greatest living poet, the greatest
living playwright of great and talent
ed people, is nov acknowledged its
greatest living warrior of the air.
Fifty-three years seems an approprl-
ate age at which to attain distinction
in literature or art, but the greatest
flyers of other nations are men in their
twenties. Mature age is supposed to
have unsteadied the nerves and so
cooled the enthusiasm as to unfit
man, in large measure, for brilliant
work above the clouds. D'Annunzio
has disproved this theory.
Shows Talent as Statesman.
In addition to his triumphs as an
author ard Aviator, D'Annunzio has
shown marked ability as a politician,
The career of this remarkable man
began in his fifteenth year. While he
was studying at Prado he published
volume of poems in which he display
ed such marked ability that he attract
ed the attention OF literary critics
throughout Europe.
It is upon the "spicyness" of his
themes that D'Annunzio's enemies base
their In~st severe criticisms, but the
esteem in which he is held by the Ital-
ian public was shown vividly in the un-
certain days of 1915. At this time
Giolitti, the Italian ex-premier, was the
leader of t,.,ie pro-German element in
Italy.
At critical time Gioliti visited
Rome and attempted coup which
would have committed the nation to
active participation in the war on be-
half of the nations with which she is
now locked in life and death strug-
gle. D'Annunzio's voice, which was
the real voice of Italy, was raised
against such move and so stirred
were the people in his audience that
they rushed enraged to the streets and
threw up barricades behind which they
fought for the preservation of the
country's honor against those who
would betray them to the kaiser and
his intriguers.
Cries "Always Forward"
On May 10, 1915, the Italian parlia-
ment declared war and the next day
D'Annunzio issued an impassioned
statement declaring that "This day the
people of Italy have once more become
healthy; they have recovered their
strength and their liberty. Be they
few or be they many, one against one,
one against four or one against ten
forward. Always forward to the
charge. Victory is only to those who
believe in victory, who swear by vic
tory"
DAnnunziO was among the first to
manifest an intense interest in ayIa-
ton. When the Wright brothers were
in Europe he passed a great deal o.
time with them. and it was through his
influence largely thvt the italian gov
crnmcnt consented to consider serious
/ II what until then had been regarded
rs fantastic dream. The airplane at
that time was an unstable and peril
ous machine. Nobody knew this bet
j ter than the inventors, and it was only
with the greatest reluctance that Or
vile Wright one day consented to
take the poet with him in 4 short fight.

Washington.--Every one of the 109
German ships seized by the United
States is in the transport or cargo
service, the damage deliberately done
to their engines having been repaired
thoroughly.
This information was given out by
the committee on public information in
the course of a statement which again
confirmed the stories of the destruc-
ton secretly performed by German
crews by orders from Berlin.
In the statement the committee says
that there is evidence that German
central authority gave an order for de-
struction on these ships effective on
or about February /, 1917, simultane-
Gus with the date set for unrestricted
submarine warfare, and that the pur-
pose was to infict such vital damage
to the machinery Of all German ships
in our ports that none could be oper-
ated for from Is months to two years.
This purpose has been defeated in sig
nal fashion. In less than eight months
all the ships were in service" .
Committee Tells of Repairs.
In describing the means taken by
the government to repair and reclaim
three ships the public information COM
mittee says:
''There is documentary proof that the
enemy believed the damage irrepara-
ble.
''To obtain new machinery would
have entailed a prolonged process of
design, manufacture and installation.
Urged by the necessity of conserving
time, the engineers Of the navy depart
ment succeeded by unique means in
patching and welding the broken parts
and replacing all Of the standard parts
which the Germans detached from
their engines and destroyed or threw
overheard.
"The mechanical evidence is that
the campaign of destruction was oper-
ated on these ships for more than two
months and that the Germans were
convinced that they were making a
thorough job Of it. Their scheme OF
ruin was shrewdly devised, deliberate
ly executed, and it ranged from the
plugging Of steam pipes to the utter
demolition of boilers by dry firing.
"When the United States shipping
board experts first surveyed the ruin
the belief was expressed that much
new machincr:.- would have to be de-
signed, manuf: ctuTed and installed,
making 1S months fair minimum esti-
mate of the time required. However,
at the navy department, where the
need of troop and cargo ships was an
urgent issue, officers of the bureau OF
steam engineering, having faith that
the major portion Of the repairs could
be accomplished by patching and weld
ing, declared it was possible to clear
the ships for service by Christmas and
ihe last of the fleet actually took her
final sea test and was ordered into
service as Thanksgiving gift to the
nation.

Many Volunteered Service.


"To accomplish this end the navy
department secured the services OF ali
available machinery welders and
butchers, many of them having been
voluntarily offered by the railroads.
"AIost of the time that elapsed be-
tween the date on which work was be-
gun and the date on which the last
ship was put into commission after
vigorous tests was, in fact, chargeable
less to the actual repair work than
to the tedious task Of dismantling all
machinery from bow to stern of every
ship for inspection, thus eliminating
every chance of overlooking concealed
mutilation."
The governments repair forces
worked always in apprehension of con-
cealed explosives. They found every
where on the ships instances of artful
pipe plugging Of concealing steel nuts
and bolts in delicate cylinders, of de-
posting ground glass in oil pipes and
bearings, of cunningly changed indl-
Gators, of filing fire extinguishers with
gasolene. The statement goes on to
say.
"The method of patching and weld
ing broken marine engines had never
before been practiced, although the art
has bean known in the railroad indus
try for Is years. Three methods OF
patching were used; electric welding,
axiacetylene welding and ordinary me-
chanical patching, the latter often later
being welded. Following the repairs,
tests of the machinery were first made
at the docks, where the ships were
iashed firmly to the piers while the pro-
peilers were driven at low speed, and
later each ship was taken to sea for
vigorous trial tests. The patches and
Yields were reported as having given
complete satisfaction.

Each is convertible to completely

age service. The fleet Of seized mer-
chanuuen added 100000 tons to the
