New York Times.)

tNeW YORK 11meS.)
The story of the sinking of the
American steamship Rochester by a
torpedo was told recently by William
J. Donnelly chief engineer, and Fl. F.
Parsons, wireless operator of the
freighter. They arrived on their way
to their homes. The Rochester was
sunk on Nov. 2 when she was about
forty miles off the Irish coast. The
men had time to launch their boats
and were rowing away when the u
boat came up and began firing at the
sinking vessel
1t was freezing cold, and some one
in one of the two boats, the chief en-
gineer said, asked those on the sub
marine deck why they did not sink
all hands and be done with it. An
officer shouted in good English that
there was no use in doing that, as
none would reach shore. This came
near being true, for it took the men
four days to make shore. The cap
tain and twenty-five men reached
8uncrana and the remainder of the
crew later. Several died from ex-
posture, and it is said that Capt. Erik,
<ekeritz is seriously i'll in an English
hospital.

RUSSIAN QUICkSAND.

The Entente allies and America
should base none of their war plans
OH the possibility of future assistance
from the Russians, but there is a ray
of hope for them in the socalled peace
negotiations between the central pow.
ars and the Bolshiviki of Russia. Re-
gardless of the sincerity of either the
German diplomats or the Russian Boil
shiyiki, the situation has become SO
complicated that the Germans are
about to find themselves struggling in
q morass of socialistic quicksand,
which may prove more dangerous
than the armed forces of Russia and
As disastrous to the ambition of the
kaiser as the Russian SHOWS were to
Napoleon.
1t is generally believed in America
that Lenne, the Bolshiviki leader, is
a constituencies paid agent of the
German government, and that his
chief lieutenant, Trotsky, is but little
better. If the Germans have paid
Lenine to deliver Russia into the
hands of the Central powers, they
made bad bargain, for man who
would betray his own county would
likewise betray his bribers ii the cir.
.cumstances permitted. If Lenine has
not been in the pay of the Germans,
he has adroitly led them into dip
lomatic tangle that will leave the
Central powers in a worse situation
than if the weak armies of Russia
has been left at the front.
The effect OF the negotiations at
Brest-Litovsk has been to hold before
the hungry eyes of the German peo-
pie the hope of peace on at least one
frontier of their land with the posi-
bility of that peace spreading until it
covered all of Europe Failure to per-
petuate that hope because of tyran-
nical determination to hold captured
provinces, will shatter that hope and
the disappointment will be keener
than that which follows the loss of
battle.
Socialistic theories in the meantime
have been circulated in the German
lines by the Bolshiviki and have per-
meated the fabric of the German
masses as far as possible against inn
perialistic restrictions. All of this
is disturbing to the Junkers. They do
not know how far to go in their me-
gotiations with the Bolshiviki and
they do not know how or where to
stop They have gone too far to turn
back abruptly and yet they have ac-
r0mplished nothing but to get their
feet into the bottomless quicksand of i
Russian socialism and Russian chica- {
,ery.
As allies of the Entente the Rus
mans were not for long of any worth.
As sem-neutrals or semi-allies of the
Germans they will be poison to the u
Morale of the Central powers. The 8
Entente is better off without them 81

no one will deny that, but the goo

from the heckling and nagging o

There is no one who will claim per

but no truthful man can deny that |
has, in the face Of seemingly insur
mountable difficulties, wrought won
ders for food production and conser

Hoover and his co-laborers there
would already have been an acute
scarcity of certain food staples in
this country and prices would have
gone skyward in many instances. And
yet because he does not like Mr.
Hoover, and at heart has no sympathy
for the nation in its present struggle
the unspeakable Reed of Missouri,
who has never done real disinterest
ed service for humanity in his life,
is heckling and nagging and trying
to destroy Hoover and his achieve
ments. The investigation now under
way has given Reed an opportunity
to vent his spleen and again display
his disloyalty. Reed is little, very
little man, and he simply cannot con-
ceive of the patriotism and devotion
of man like Hoover who has for
saken a great business career, to
serve his nation and civilization with
out money and without price.

Meetings to be Called
The county food administrators of
Tennessee and the county agents will
call meeting at each county seat on
Friday, January II, for the purpose
OF discussing the production of hogs
in that county. All of the banks will
be asked to finance the farmers who
desire to purchase brood sows. Off.
Gals of the agricultural and food de-
partments feel confident that every
bank will respond to this request. AT
this same time, as many boys as pos.
sible will be encouraged to take I'D
pig club work.
viii Take Hog Census.
During the week beginning January
IA, complete survey of hogs will be
made in each county. At the same
time, a record will be made of all o.
The seed on the different farms, such
Is corn. soy beans, COW peas, peanuts
etc. The information will be sent
each night to the department of ex-
ension and it is expected that in an.
'ther week, it will be completely tab
llated.
This survey will put into the hands

ested.

On Friday, January II, the State of
Tennessee will commence recruiting
an imemnse army to send against the
| Kaiser; an army which will strike a
telling blow during the campaign of
! 1918 and give stamina and strength
to the allied cause.
This is not an army of men who
will be sent to training camp and
taught military tactics, furnished with
machine guns or cannon. 1t will be
an army of "porkers '-pigs of every
description and breed; Poland Chinas,
Berkshires, Jerseys-any kind of pig
that will make good pork.
The government, through the food
administration, has asked this state to
increase its production of hogs 159s
during the year 1918. To do this,
there must be some quick work. Ten,
nessee must have several thousand
additional brood sows in the different
counties and these sows must be bred
by February Is SO as to drop a litter |
of pigs by June. Figuring that each |
will produce an average litter OF |
five pigs, this means that much will. |
be done toward accomplishing the re-
suit desired.
