DIFFICULTIES GERMANS
HAD TO CONTEND WITH

Amsterdam, July 19-War Corre-
spondent Schuermann, telegraphins
from German army headquarters on
July Is. tells of some of the difficulties
the German troops had to contend
with in their offensive in the Marne
region. and indirectly admits that they
suffered heavy losses.
Certain vantage points," the corre-
spondent says, were held by enemy
machine gun crews TO the very last.
And our artillery, crossing the crater
zone ground. under enemy fire, had the
most difficult task.
"The majority OF the prisoners were
taken on the Marne where the enemy
made a big effort to prove that the
direct road to Paris was well guarded
He poured a terrific fire on all ap-
proaches to the road and concentrated
his shells on the pontoons we were
trying to throw across the river
Again and again the work Of our
pioneers was smashed by the heavy
shells. Nevertheless, a crossing was
achieved"

LINER WHICH ANSWERED tt
TANfc's sos ToRPeDoEo OFF
IRISH COAST WHEN ON EAST
WARD VOYAGE.
BY Associated Press.

Washington, July 19.-The British
transport Carpathia, 1868 tons gross,
has been sunk by German submarine
off the Irish coast while outward
bound from a British port, it was
learned here today. So far as known
here no lives were lost.
The Carpathia was owned by the
Cunard line. Prior to the war she was
engaged in transatlantic service.
Although in the Service of the Brit
ish government for several months.
the Carpathia has been used as an
American troop transport. Her last
departure from an American port was
in June. The Carpathia was built in
1903 at Newcastle, England.
It was the Carpathia which an
swered the wireless sos call of the
White Star liner Titanic in April, 1912,
when that vessel hit a submerged ice
berg on her maiden voyage to New
York and was sunk with heavy loss
of life. The Carpathia picked up and
;anded at New York s66 survivors of
the Titanic.

ARMY AND NAVY OFFICIALS AND
CITIZENS GENERALLY EXPRESS
SATISFACTION AT CONCLUSION
OF COUNTY BOARD.

Army and navy officials and citizens
generally expressed satisfaction yes
terday that the matter of hard sur
facing the road to the government
reservation has been definitely deter
mined by the county commissioners
and a contract awarded for supervi-
sion of the construction work.
While there was some dissatisfac-
ton over the awarding of the contract,
it was the consensus of opinion that
the work will be well done.
Commissioner Hardy said that while
he is of the opinion that some money
could have been saved by accepting
one of the other bids. he is confident
that the county will receive full value
for every dollar expended. He says
that the interest which he has felt in
the project from its inception over
shadows any feeling which may have
accompanied the action of the major
ity of the board and he will continue
to work for speedy completion of a
road which will be a credit to Escam-
bia county.
Commissioners Hardy and Candy
constitute the road committee and it
will be built under their personal SUI
pervision. They will have the co-op-
Grafton of a civil engineer from the
navy department to be assigned to
the work by Lieut.. warfield, who has
given the commissioners much valu-
able assistance in arranging the pre-
liminaries for building the road.
Bids for materials will be opened
August and actual construction
will start as Soon thereafter as pos
sible.
The county has an so-foot right-of-
way between the two bayous and in
building the new road sufficient of
the present clay road wifi be left in
tact to permit traffic to continue with
out interruption and without incurring
the expense of providing temporary
roadway.
