Il tell you it was some achievement to do in
a week S time with no assistance of any kind except
what marine engineers were able to tell the old man
via wireless
The old man said he nearly got nervous pros
tration trying to think up schemes to keep his crew
fit during those days when there no daylight
at all. Mind yOu he had just 500. He gave them
military drills on the ice organized cricket games,
had iceboats built and had races, and blessed some
genius for devising a way to manufacture home
made skates. Then he made his crew go to school,
the text books being novels from the ships library
THE wireless gave them the news of the world
and even solved problems which stumped the tenn
porary schoolmasters. They found in the library
some Of Sheridan's plays and had go at them.
When the salvage ship arrived at the end of six
months, as soon as she could push her way through
the lee thanks to the old mans genius she found
the Liverpool crew in pretty fit condition
New Bow Put On.
The fitting of new bow to the Liverpool as she
foated in not too calm a sea feat In itself.
Equipping new bows to ships which have left their
old ones on the rocks is delicate task even in a
dry dock. for the two parts have to be brought to
a dead line in every particular. Yet the marine
engineers who figured on the Liverpools plight, as
advised by wireless overcame the difficulties of fit
ting bow to floating ship by equipping the
LiverpOol's new bow with socket which would fit
into the other section of her hull and form blow
out patch over the joint.
OF course, above water the two parts could have
been held together by stringers if necessary. 1t
was the bent and twisted plates under water which
gave most difficulty. And as Americans used
electric welding for joining together, as they
hoated the halves of the boats brought through the
Welland Canal, so was it used on the Liverpool.
And under her own steam she came back to civiliza
tion monument to what man do when he has
to- Not the least remarkable part of the case was
the building and launching of the new bow and
towing the unwieldy structure twelve hundred
miles over waters infested by mines and U-boats.

GREAT GROW DIS
HEAR DR.. SOULS
URGENT APPEAL
FINE MANIFESTATION OF PATRl
OTiSM THROUGHOUT TWO
HOURS OF: ADDRESS.

DR.. Andrew NJ. Soule. federal food
administrator o. Georgia, if he could
know the good he did in his address
which lasted two hours here yesterday
afternoon before packed court house
would be amply repaid for coming to
Cordele at the invitation of the local
county council of defense. of which
body Judge U. V. Whipple is chairman.
The crowd was larger than has been
seen together in Cordele in many
years, the court house could not ac-
commodate all who came. Many stood
through the whole two hours, apparent
ly without shifting position.
1t was remarkably profound occasion
and DR.. Soule delivered a message
which was a great stroke for patriot
ism and loyalty to Americas cause in
the war. More food crops and the con,
serving of that already in hand was
the burden of his address. Food sick
ers are as bad as slackers on the firing
line, he declared, and the woman who
is unwilling to make the program in
the kitchen conform to that on the war
front is indeed a Stacker.
He often repeated the assertion that
he had not come to condemn any one
but to impress the importance of real
izing that this is distinctly our war,
Every man and every woman has a
duty, he urged, and no one here can
do greater service than to make more
food crops and save that which can
be sent to Europe.
He paid fine tribute to the patriotic
service of Herbert Hoover and told
how Hoover had promised Europe
scventy-fve millions bushels of the
wheat which his been saved for this
country. He said we are sending that
wheat by our own self denial
He strongly emphasized the great sac
making to defeat the purposes of Ger
Yiiice which England and France are
many and establish liberty over all
the earth This. he declared. is our
cause in common with England and
France. and for that reason we should
be making and saving, not only enough
for ourselves. but some for Europe.
Heretofore we have had to feed our
own people. l05 millions Now we
must feed $50 millions more. South
Georgia was praised for the part it has
done already and he believed it would
do even more. The applause here in.
dictated that the great audience was
heartily in accord with the speaker.
Judge Whipple in introducing DR.
Soule, said that Georgia has moved up
from twentieth place to fourth place
as "a food producing state in the union
and he heartily credited DR. SOule with
having done more than any other one
man in the state to bring about that
progress. ~De
