The knitters

day
In home and Office and show;
They even knit In church, folks say,
And the needles fly while the parsons
pray,
For the knitting must never stop.
Some knit for the soldier boys un-
In the trenches over the sea;
For they have no heroes of their own,
No lovers in The shell-bound zone
And the 'saddsst of all are these.
But most. of. them pray for their own
as they knit,
For lover, and son, and friend
For their very own they must do their
bit,
And every stitch carries love with it,
And the prayers that never end.
Then how can we help but win the
fight.
When even children leave their play,
And their needles like lances flash in
the light,
And million women from morn till
night
Keep knitting as they pray?

Persic Sent Down by Ger man Submarine in War
 Zone on September 6
ATTACKING U-BOAT IS BELIEVED DESTROYED
Liner Was Torpedoed After Dropping Behind Convoy Fleet Because of Engine Trouble--Subs Still
 Fear to Attack Conveys

Washington, September IL. News of the torpedoing of the British liner Persic with 2900 American troops OH board, in the war zone September 6. was given to the American people today, first through the British |admiralty and then later tllrough the navy department. |The steamer was beached and the enemy submarine is be- |lleved to have been accounted for.
 Officials here viewed the result of the attack more as an allied success than as a disaster. The fact that the steamer was torpedoed wSien she was endeavor- ing 10 oyertake the conveyed Fleet of transports, after overcoming engine trou- ble which had forced her to lag, con vinced officers that submarine com manders still are fearful of attacking troop ships in convoy. And the imme- diate and completely successful assist ance rendered by the destroyers was taken as an additional evidence that the conveying system now in vogue is prac- tically perfect
 First word Of the attack on the Persic, it was learned officially, reached the navy department on the night of September 6 in a brief dispatch from Vice Admiral Sims, although navy officials have em-
 phatically denied in the interim that any important news of submarine activities was being withheld. It was understood that the British admiralty expressed the request that they be permitted to an- nounce the news of the attack.
 Rumors that a troop ship had been sunk probably with heavy loss of life, have been current in Washington since the publication of what evidently was an
 inspired London dispatch stating that allied naval circles had reason to believe that German submarines soon would con- centrate their efforts in an attempt to im- pede the steady flow of American soldiers overseas. No explanation of the purpose of this article could be obtained, how ever, from naval officials here.
 Attacks on troop ships by submarines are expected by officials, and it may De that new and more deter mined campaign has been determined upon by the Germans because of the re-
 verses suffered by their armies. The greatest possible protection is afforded troop ships, and this increases as the American naval forces in the war zone are added to by new construction in American yards.
 The records achieved by the American and allied navies in the transporting of more than l,6oO,c0O American soldiers overseas with the loss of only 2s1 of them still is considered miraculous, and it is accepted by naval officers as testifying to the success of the convoy system.

HARRIS IS WINNER
 IN GEORGIA. RACE
 FOR J. 5. SENATE

Atlanta. september 11.--Unofficial and incomplete returrs from today's primary in Georgia at midnight indi- cated that William J. Harris. former chairman of the federal trade commits sion. who had been indorsed by Presi- dent Wilson, had swept the state in the senatorial contest for the seat now held by United States Senator Thomas W. Hardwick.
 Competition for second place in the race appeared to be close between Senator Hardwick and Congressman William Schley Howard of the Fifth district, but neither has received sufficient number of votes to make a second primary a likelihood. Early returns gave Harris an overwhelming majority of the county unit vote and it appeared probably that he had re- ceived majority of the popaiar vote as well.
