United Fruit Co.'s Steamer
SixaOla Received Warning
Just in Time
HEADING TOWARD
ENEMY SUBMARINE
Tanker Pratt's Signal of Distress Was
Caught-Fruiter Then Changed Her
Course and Reached an American
Port in Safety.

AN ATLANTIC PORT, June g.
With eighty one passengers besides hei
crew of sixty men, and carrying a ear
go of $4,000 punches of bananas, the
United Fruit Company S steamer Six
aola put into this port yesterday to es
cape from the U-boat operations.
The vessel was diverted here after
Capt Henshaw had received wireless
message that the tanker Herbert l.
Pratt, as well as several other vessels
had been destroyed only short dis
lance from his ship.
The passengers cheered as the steam
err approached the dock. They had
known exactly what had been going on
although they realized that danger had
been near. The many messages received
by the wireless operator telling of the
U-boat activities along jhe Atlantic
coast had sent rumors flying thick and
fast and the sight of lifeboats hanging
from the sides of the vessel, ready to
be lowered at moments notice, were
of fearful significance.
As soon as the censors had completed
their work the mail brought by the
Sixaola was sent on to New York. AS
the men, women and children left the
boat they were placed in taxicabs and
taken to a station where special accom-
modations had been arranged for them
on the clock train for New York.
Capt. Henshaw said he received his
first warning that submarines were off
the coast Saturday night, when the OPP
orator picked up message from Ar
lington station to the effect that sub
marines had sunk some vessels along
the coast and warned him to put in at
the nearest port.
81 headed toward the mouth of the
Chesapea ke,' said Capt. Henshaw,
but when / arrived there early Sun
day morning | saw a convoy putting
o.. 4 thought he might be going up
the coast and | followed along behind
A short while later we picked up a
message that the schooner Isabel B
Wiley had been attacked and sent
down, and a bit further on the convoy
left us.
81 then decided to try for Philadel
phia and began zigzagging the steam
ship. AS soon as / received the frs
warning, however, provisioned thu
| lifeboats and had them swung over tn,
side from the davits. All lights wer'
put out and the liferafts cleared away
"We were carrying quantity o
balsam wood on deck, tied together il
piles. l had this united and distribute,
about the side, SO that if we were sen
down there would be something afloa
for persons who might not get into tn
lifeboats to cling to.
81 thought / was going to max
Philadelphia, but was keeping might
sharp lookout for submarines when
got the message from the Pratt. w
then were headed straight for the spo
where she was sunk and going as har
as we could. We thought she had bee
torpedoed and decided not to take an
more chances, SO l ordered the steamshi
about and skinned along the shore III
til we reached the point where we coul
reach port. -

ROBINSON CIRCUS
REQUIRES 4 TRAINS
One of Biggest Herds Of Elephants

Performances Here June IA.

The famous John Robinson 2ircus will
arrive in Brattleboro, Friday, June IA, for
one day-stand and with the trouping
white top outfit will come one of the

peanut, and what is more important per,
haps to the children than anything else,
the free street parade with it's attractively
carved wagons, strikingly plumed horses,
gaily caparisoned riders and drivers; the
brass bands of crashing music, including
the original Dixie "Jazz' band, and the
siren shrieks Of the inevitable steam CALI

In order to insure It's occupancy of the
pinnacle place in Circusdom, the John
Robinson outfit has boen augmented

Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1918-08-20

Nearly all of at time or another have
cherished the fond hope that the war will be end
ed by an invention. Some hitherto unknown gas
or explosive OF terrific intensity will be released
by the allies TO oEiterate the Germans tank
or a gun of monster proportions will be turned
against the foe Or else the mere threa; of using
such contrvances will bring the Hun to his knees.
So we have dreamed. even the most common-sense
of us: we have heard rumors from time to time
and have wondered and hoped.
But rumors count least of all in this They
rank scarcely above downright German prOpagan-
da and deserve but little more consideration. 1t
is true that nothing is impossible in cur marvel
Gus age even the invention of forces incompre-
hensibly destructive. But even IL such things
were produced it is doubtful if in themselves they
would end the war History teaches the contrary.
Once the Grecian horse brought about The fall of
Troy at one blow, but nothing spectacular has
occurred since Homer's Iliad The Revolution,
the Napoleonic wars the Civil war, the Franco
Prussian war, the Russo-Japanese war, did not
stop because of single invention.
In s'ren a greater dess1e - It's me Of tie

been by inventions that would have staggered the
warriors OF a hundred even fifty FEARS ago. Air
planes, bombs, wireless TINT" poison gas, the
tank, all have been launched into the conflict.
Germany staked her all on the submarine, she
sought to destroy the morale of England with
the Zeppelin and to strike panic into the French
with long-range guns. But where these inven-
tions been effective in greater less degree,
none of them have proven the trump card.
This is admittd by scientific journal
as the Electrical Experimenter. which, after point
ing out the tremendous usages to which inventions
have been put in this war, goes to say that
"the greatest invention is the undying will to
win" Come what may, victory will rest with
the side whose people throw into the scales the
greatest number of tanks, airplanes, ships and
cannon; the greatest number of submarines,
bombs, gas and liquid fire, who put their
sources and spirit to the full behind their armies

The Legislative Session.

The 1915 session of the General Assembly, just
come to a close on the whole has been gratifying
Meeting at a time when mems hearts and souls are
30 soreIy tried and when the world is in a tumuIt
the members have held to their task in a praise
worthy manner. While no great outstanding
niece of legislation has been enacted the assembly
is certainly to be congratulated on the number OF
sane and constructive measures that were adopted
review of these shows Enthusiastically that the
people OF Georgia have much reason to benefit by
them. To mention only few of the bills of gen.
era interest that passed both houses there is the
repeal of the Bynum law, by which the United
States is now given permission to utilize such
Georgia lands as necessary to establish nation
al forest reserves. There is the bill providing
budget system for creating efficiency and
economy commission which. though somewhat
emascuIated in its course, is step in the right
direction. There is the absent voters BILL giving
their rights voting citizens to boys in serv
ice; the work or night BILL which protects labor as
well as throttIes ideness the bill financing bu-
reau of markets; the bill providing for statewide
tick eradication. the anti-tipping BILL and a
Der of others.
Atlanta, in particular, has to thank the
legislature for passing the bill by which munic
qualities may issue bonds two-thirds vote of
those voting election day, providing this is
majority of the registered voters. Had this change
been made before, Atlanta would never have been
put into the embarrassing and dangerous situa-
ton it faced this spring When the Constitutional
amendment passed by the Legislature is ratified
by the people, the city can carry out those much
needed improvements which the former archaic
law baked. Atlanta may also gain from the pas
sage of the charter amendment which will enable
the practice of the hopeful experiment of the cleo
tion of a board of education by the people
Here and there in the 1918 legislative record
have occurred instances of regrettable failure;
SUCH for instance, the loss of the local school
tax bill in the stormy closing hours There is
every reason to believe that this measure will be
revived and successfully put through next year,
but fits defeat at this time is extremely regrettabe
for any postponement of improved school condi-
tiOns which it cOntemplates means so much delay
in the educational progress of the state.
Aside from few such failures as this, how
ever, the mistakes of the General Assembly of
1918 have been rare, and in the last analysis its
aehietements reflect small credit upon the legs-
lativa body. Were anything needed to prove this
it its action in getting together at the ELEVENTH
hour and saving the state the expense, inconven-
fence and general undesirability of an extra ses-
sion.
