 Club Meeting

w. V. Trammell. who has served as secretary since the organization of the hiwanis club, yesterday severed his official connection with the club, but remains one of the most active members in the organization, and through his untiring efforts on be- half of the club, he has greatly en- deared himself to the membership.
 MT. Trammell was forced to resign as secretary in view of the fact that his business would not allow him to give the time necessary to the great ly increased membership He will be succeeded by Jeff Bailey.
 In view of Mir. Trammells efficient services, for which he has refused to accept any compensation. a resolution was adopted commenting him for the splendid achievements during his ten ure of office
 As surprise to Mir Trammell-and the surprise was complete--a beautiful silver tea service was presented to him by the club In very modest, yet feel ing speech of just few words MT Trammell replied to the presentation speech of Kfwanian James l.. Davidson

Conference of Federal Labor Agency Examiners
 at Montgomery Today
State Director Tarrant and Examiners Bowen and Samuels Will Meet U.
 s. Employment Service Men

State Director George B. Tarrant, his secretary, D. Swan, and Examiners Lewis Bowen and E. s. Samuels of the local office of the United States en- ployment service, went to Montgom- cry last night for the purpose of at tending conference of federal labor agency examiners today.
 MT. Tarrant has recently established six new agencies in the state, which, with the six already in operation, makes 12 in Alabama. In order that he might ascertain the labor situation in each of these 12 cities, MT. Tarrant notified the examiners to meet him in Montgomery today. While there he will give them instructions about the duties of their offices and impress upon them the necessity of getting every able bodied man into some es- sential industry.
 Each of the counties in which these agencies are located will be organized along the lines of the Jefferson County elf-Preservation Loyalty league, which bids fair to become a powerful agency in recruiting the labor neces- sary for all plants and industries working on war contracts.

Writes Of Super-Sub Encountered on Voyage
 Across the Atlantic

Mrs. Edward H. Butt, formerly of Au- gusta, but for many years resident of England, returned to the United States last week with Mir. Butt. She was in tho convoy of which the Justicia was part and she saw that vessel put out of commission by a submarine. Mrs Butt has written her brother, E, w.. Barrett, some of the interesting inci- dents of the trip as follows:
 Thursday evening we started with six other beautiful ships We travelled along quietly. keeping well punched together, with destroyers around the convoy. l will never forget the sight. All went well until Friday, the 18th, when just after lunch was feeling none too well and went to lie down in the lounge, when at 2:5O came tremendous. thud. We slipped on our life belts and took up our place in line at the lifeboat assigned to us, We had had boat drill the day we went on board and, of course, knew just what to do. All the time the depth charges were dropped by the destroyers, who had closed in and raced to our assistance. We were the outside ship on the star board position. The torpedo just missed
 
 gama and caught the Justicia, who was shade to our rear, square amidships, just over the engine room. God help the poor firemen who were on duty, as none survived. She dropped at the stern but did not sink. As I said before, the de- stroyers were around like flies, dropping depth charges which shook our ship tre- mendously at distance of DOO yards. So the willy Hun must have got good shaking up. We were given orders to run as hard as we could and we did, thanks to our brave stokers. As our life boa. was No. l we were too far forward to see it all, as one must obey orders. Two destroyers kept close to the Justi- cia, the others taking up their old posi- tions When we sighted periscope No. we sent up our signal when the little terriers of war wheeled and let off more depth charges, so Fritz No. 2, l hope, will not rise again.
 Messages were instantly sent out and tugs came to tow in the Justicia, as we were then about 80 miles off the Irish coast We got a wireless, however, the next day, saying she had been pursued by squadron of Uboats and,- after an

all-nlght battle, Succumbed. Saturday and Sunday 1t was cool and fine and no excitement. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday it was hot but fine. Friday, the 18th, it was a glorious day and oul nerves were beginning to calm. We had a small passenger list, only three ladies in the first-class and one in the second about 75 first-class passengers, and all delightful people. We were on deck and all cheerful, when distant firing attract ed my attention. Off I started for life belts, as we had received orders it was not necessary to carry them for three days past
 AS I got halfway to my stateroom the whistle gave the hair-raisng alarm, four blasts, Take up boat positions. '' The super U-boat came to the surface, opened fire on us. first with shell, then shrapnel, but her range was short and she missed us by about 500 yards. We swung around and let her have it With our aft six-inch gun and pumped some high explosives so near she soon shut up She could not chase us as they can only do 15 knots on the surface and about eight knots submerged. Her mate. ru- nor says, engaged another and was sunk by that vessel. Our battle lasted about one hour.
 "Al went we'll the remainder of Friday and Saturday, the 27th, about 5:f5, when I was standing on the aft deck talking to an American captain who had been shirwrecked and we were bringing him and his crew home, when up loomed a huge super. Our gunner was too quick for her and let her have three shells hardly before we could get our belts and take up positions. She must have had a near shave, as she never got a chance to open on us but submerged inn mediately. Altogether We sighted two off the Irish coast in our trouble there, and it is believed there were six. All, however, gave up the chase of the con- voy and pursued the Justicia, believ- ing her to be another vessel. On the American coast we sighted six supers and engaged two. And still we say we are getting the U-boats under, are we? God knows I hope so. I confess the sound of a ships whistle sets every nerve in my body shaking. and however hard I try to stop I cannot

One of the interesting episodes of the War Savings campaign occurred yester- day morning at the postoffice when a stranger walked up to the booth presided over by Mrs. Porter Ledbetter and said he wanteI to buy Savings Stamps.
 How many?" asked the pretty youns woman on duty at the booth at the time. smiling sweetly at the prospective custo- mer.
 "Oh, about how many have you gotg' and as the young woman began counting them out, he added, I'll take Sl0Oa worth.'
 Dropping the sheets of stamps which she had begun counting, the young wom- an gaspe1 for breath, looked bewilder- ingly at the stranger, wondering if he were trying to play a practical joke on her. but as he appeared to be in earnest she handed him all she had and called on the postmaster for the difference.
 Handing over 5000 in crisp new bills, folding the stamps and putting them in his pocket, the stranger thanked the stamp seller and triumphantly walked away.
 "I almost had heart failure," the pretty young stamp seller remarked to her compa anion, and one or two other inter
