CAPTAIN DISMUKES, U. S. N,
REMEMBERS HIS ALMA MATER

The people of Noxubee county will
recall the incident of the torpedoing
of the U. S. Transport Mount Vernon,
near Brest on the French coast some
thing like year ago, and the fact
that the splendid handling of the ves-
sci by the commanding officer, Cap
tain D. E. Dismukes, wascompliment-
ed by Secretary of War Baker, who
was passenger on board at the time.
The Commercial Appeal and the Bea-
con carried accounts of the event as
well as all the other newspapers of
the country.
1t was great pleasure to our peo-
pie, especially the old friends of Capt.
Dismukes, to know how distinguished
was the rank and how well deserved
the honors were that came to this ma
tive of Noxubee.
The rise Of Capt. Dismukes from
ensign to captain has been steady and
sure and a record of merit, capacity
and courage.
The transport Mt. Vernon was ori-
ginally the German steamship, the
"Kronprinzessin Cecile" and was
seizedby our government soon after
the United States entered the war.
She crossed the ocean while in United
States service eighteen times, carry
ing to Europe $4,000 soldiers, and
then eight times after the armistice
bringing home $4,000 soldiers. She
was the Queen of the Transports, ably
manned and ably commanded.
"A History of the U. S. S. Mount
Vernon" which was compiled from
the ships log book has been published
and Capt. Dismukes has presented a
handsome copy to his old boyhood
Alma Mater, the Macon High School.
