Disabled Submarine Under
 Water 35 Hours; Crew Safe
(Continued from Page One)

small boat was immediately lowered from the General Goethals. The boat reached the buoy, cut in on the telephone apparatus on it, and then from the depths of the sea cannes this message:
 The submarne S-5 has been sub- merged for thirty-five hours. Air is running short. Machinery damaged. Send for help"
 The General Goethals immediately sent out radio messages telling of the plight of the submarine, and then stood by to render whatever aid was possible, keep ing in communication with the sub merged vessel by means of the telephone on the buoy.
 An amateur wireless operator at Far mington, Conn, hundreds of miles from the scene of the trouble, picked Up the message from the air and made it pub lie. The information was confirmed later from Philadelphia, which reported that air was being pumped to the thirty . five men and two officers aboard ths submarine by two steamships.
 During most of the afternoon the two ships rolled idly in the waves, unable to help waiting for the navy to send ships having the gear necessary to cut through the steel hull of the submarine and release the imprisoned members of the crew.
 Shortly before dusk tonight the tele- phone operator, who had been sitting all day with his ear to the slender wire that connected the men uner the water with the vessel above it, received this message from the commander of the submarine:
 We must have more air" There was no other message for some time Officers of the two ships, realizing that something must be done quickly tc save the lives of the submerged mon, immediately had apparatus rigged up which was lowered into the sea and con nected with the submarine. Through this the vessels pumped air into the under sea craft. It is presumed that the ma chinery for changing the air in the sub marine was damaged In the accident | that caused her to submerge, as under ordinary circumstances, if the machine ! is working properly, a vessel of the type | of the S-5 can stay under water for sev- eral days without injury to her crew

 UNKNOWN POWER
 But beware, if you laugh and make fun of me you shall regret it. For in me there is God and I have unknown power at my instant disposal. In St. Eouis( not so many years ago, either. the people of that city refused to let me have the use of the church during the several weeks that l was there. Then one day God spoke to me and told me to move on, and that lie would not leave a stone unturned in that wicked place. AS l walked over the bridge in leaving the city He spoke to me again and stated that 1 would never walk over that bridge again.
 Then in less than six hours the town was partially destroyed and several hun dred people were killed, That is the punishment of God, and His wrath will descend upon us if we do not believe and obey Him.
 These are the days of preparation. They are numbered, too, and the time IS not far away when the tine will come for everyone of us to stand up and de- clare we are for God or for the devil.
 T am only an instrument of God. 1 have the power to cure the diseases of your body, your earthly diseases When you are cured of those then you will be able to meet the Master l shall con- tinue to try and help people to meet their God until the day he sees fit to take me away to his home above"

Quarter Million
 Tons of Coal m
 ateLast Week
Mines Produced 276, ,0OO Tons---Are Hampered By
 Strike and Car Shortage

The coal production for the week end- ing last Saturday in Alabama is esti- mated at ~276,oo0 tons from reporting mines, with about 2o,0o0 tons unreported.
 The car shortage has been much worse than usual on the Frisco. and has been about as bad as it ever was on the lines of the Southern in the Walker county field
 From a cursory inspection of indlvidual mine reports, officials say, 1t IS evident that car shortage is accountable for the decrease in. production compared with the several preceding weeks. Some large mines on the Frisco, where there has been no strike, report only 70 per cent production.
