Mew War Coming; Veterans

| with the world today were varied,

line-'greed," %"hatred," money

Pvt. Charles w. Matthews, SO.
29ta Virginia Brigade (Picket's
Division), and Pvt. Alvin Smith,
103, of Co. H, 9th Ohio Infantry,
both replied succintiy:
"Sin."
Neither John H. Crate, 101, of

of the GAR, nor Gen. julius F..
Howell, of Bristol, Va, command
er-in-chief of the United Confed-
crate Veterans, thought another
war was coming.
1T hardly think so, and I hope
I'm right" said Crate.
IT do not" Howell said firmly.
Good Men Today
The veterans all were asked if
they thought the average young
man today is as well-equipped to
fight a wal as in 1876. The
majority said yes, although none
yielded on the point of fighting
spirit. Sgt. Whittinghill put it this
way:
Eyes. They have just proved it,"
The veterans also were asked
do you feel young enough to take
up a gun and defend your country
| again. Most admitted Realistic
ally that they were too old and
feeble, although nearly all said the
| spirit was still there even if the
flesh was weak.
Asked, eff you had your choice,
would you rather live during the
next 100 years than the past 10o?'
all but a few were content with
what they had seen and done.
Cpl. Horton, however, dissented.
He said:
"The next 100 years. The last
100 were very nice but when you
r 100 years old, you'd like to
have your life to live over again.

Pvt. James A. Hard of Roches'
ter, N. Y, who at 106 shares with
Pvt. Wedge of Illinois the honor
Of being the Oldest veteran inter-
viewed, said spiritedly:
young fellow, if I could have
as much fun in the next 100 years
as I did in the last, I certainly
would like to go the distance"
Hard reminisced amiably OF the
past and joked about his position
as "high private in the rear rank"
then depressed for a fling at this
generation:
"This age of wonderful non
sense!" he chuckled. people are

about the part he played in the

during the German occupation OF
the lowland country. He admitted
however, that he was active in
groups that aided and hid German

of his jobs was to teach Jewish

DEEP DIVERS
SEEK HOARD
Italian And British Divers
Will Attempt To Recov-
er Copper Bars
By A l.. THRAPP

United Press Staff Correspondent
LONDON-UD-A record deep
water salvage operation has been
undertaken by Italian and British
divers who will attempt to recover
about 81, 366, 900 in copper bars
from the sunken French freighter
Alaska, lying nearly 400 feet deep
off the Isle Of Wight.
The ~5,399-ton Alaska, laden with
$500 tons of copper, colided with
the French ship Dotterel in the
pitch blackness of a foggy night
during the early wal blackout. 1t
was the night of Nov. Is, 1889.
Mortally damaged, the Alaska
hoated aimlessly for hours before
she went to the bottom.
Her position was unknown for
nearly eight years. Early in July Of
this year she was located and def
initely identified. But she was in
deep water and where tides were
so strong and savage gales arose so
swiftly that salvage seemed impos-
sible.
The Admidalty, which charted
the potion OF ships sunk during
the war, said she was one of the
few remaining hulks unsalvagable.
Most of the vessels closer to shore
were stripped of cargo of value,
then blown up, if they represented
a shipping hazard. the Admiralty
said. The only valuable cargoes
left were those in depths too great
or waters too dangerous to be
reached until now.
An Italian salvage firm, the Sori-
ma Company, before the war spe-
cialized in deep set salvage jobs.
The company devised equipment
OF a new type which resulted in
successfully stripping the P. & o.
Penisular and Oriental) liner
Egypt of some S., 600, 900 in gold
and silver.
The Egypt, also sunk in collision,
lay in 420 feet off Ushant or Ues-
SAINT Island, west of Brest. Here
the tides and gales are as danger
Gus as they are south of the Isle
of Wight.
The British salvage firm under
taking the Alaska salvage, Risdon
Beazley, Ltd, called on the Sorima
Company for technicians. The
British company chartered q royal
naval salvage vessel, the Lifeline,
and borrowed special equipment
from Sorima. Skilled engineering
personnel also came from Italy to
help in the salvage task.
Deepest salvage tasks undertake
en- previously by British concerns
were about 100 feet. With new
techniques the field Of operations
now has extended to twice that
depth, but the value of cargoes
would have to be considerable be-
fore salvage at those depths would

NEW YORK, W.H - The world
has not learned it's lesson and
is headed for another war, a good
many of the surviving Union and
Confederate veterans of 1876
feel.
These same men favor pre-.
paredness and universal military
training. Most of them think the
United States was right in using
the atom bomb to end World Wal
II and should use it again if neces.
sary for self-preservation.
They favor, too, for the mos
part. a tough policy toward Rus
STA.
The United Press asked a brief
series of questions of the handful
OF surviving Northern and South.
ern veterans in all parts OF tne
country who could be reached and
were able to give interviews
Twenty-seven of them, ranging in
age from SO to LOG, answered.
Majority Sees War
Ten thought there would be q
new war soon, within not more
than 10 years or probably much
earlier. Seven thought it could be
avoided and three would hazard
no opinion.
Nineteen of the q favored a
firm policy toward Russia thei,
opinions ranging from real though,
ness" to moral firmness or keep
ing peace with Russia eff We can
The question on Russia was
phrased:
"WAat do you think of this coun-
try's present foreign policy and its
get tough with Russia attitude?"
II don't think we are getting
tough enough" said Daniel A.
Wedge, 1O6, of Aurora, ILL.,, for
mer private in the Eighth Illinois
Regiment.
On the other hand, G.. w. Ben

Troops, who says he is the only
man now alive who saw Fort
Fisher fall, penned on a question
naire in a firm hand:

ness over there"

in response to the question. do
you feel tough enough to take up
a gun and defend your country
again"-"Sure would.")
Regarding whether man ever
would find a way to keep peace,
Benson observed:
1.-THE world got to thinking it
knows too much. Everybody's
crazy for worldly gain. I strongly
doubt man will ever find a way
to keep peace. The world seems to
have been born in war and it will
end in war;"
Lesson Not Learned
On the above question of whether
the world had learned a bitter les
SON since Civil War days and had
been taught anything about keep
ing peace, Is thought not. Eight
thought we had learned a lesson,
wholly or in part.
Regarding a new war, a few

Kendrick Enters
Supervisors
Race

Oliver Kendrick, of Baden,
farmer and dealer in household
products, has filed notice and
petition as a candidate for Super
visor of the Clintwood district.
He will oppose Parks Hawk
ms, of Pound River, in the No
vember election. Hawkins was
nominated for Supervisor by the
Republican district convention
last winter.
1t had been generally assumed
that Hawkins would be unoppos-
ed until word spread that Ken
drick was getting his papers
ready to file.
Both men are we'll known and
highly regarded and the contest
will be hard fought.
Emery Bruce Mullins, Brush
Creek, announced himself an in
dependent candidate for Supervis
or of the Clintwood district a
good while ago, but he failed to
file the required notice and pc
tition.
The clerk says that Robby
Rife, who recently announced
himself an independent candi-
date for sheriff, filed his petition
but failed to file the required
notice and that the law forbids
certifying his name to the cleo
toral board as ia candidate.
Elsewhere on the political
front, Senator NJ. NJ. Long will
have no opponent in his race for
reelection in November. 1t was
generally understood until few
days ago that the Republicans
would meet in convention to
name a candidate to oppose Long
but they failed to do so.
