MARKET ISSUES
UNDER PRESSURE
Professional Selling of Active List Due to Overnight De
velopments; War Issues, Shippings and As
sociated Specialties Under Fire
By Associated Press
New York, July 25.—(Wa1l Street)
—Professional selling of the active
list was resumed at the beginning of •
to-day's operations, overnight devel
opments at home and abroad seem
ing to favor the short interest. War
issues, shippings, motors and asso- j
ciated specialties lost 1 to 2 points,
equipments, oils, Industrial Alcohol (
and Atlantic Gulf and West Indies ,
being most susceptible to pressure, j
United States Stcj*l fell a large frac- 1
tion with such rails as Union Pacific, I <
St. Paul. Reading, New York Central!'
and Baltimore and Ohio. Substan- j
tial rallies occupied in the first half
hour on general support.
The market drifted idly during f he
balance of the morning, sales in the |
first hour totaling less than 150,000 j
shares. Most gains were offset by •
declines leaving the list without deft- J
nite trend. Some early offerings
were said to represent liquidation by '
discouraged holders. United States
Steel wavered between 121 and
119 76, other industrials displaying ■
similar indecision. Relative firmness ,
of a few specialties enlisted no out-' j
side interest. Rallies at noon sug
gested short covering. Bonds were
irregular. Liberty 3 l-2s sold at,
99.46 to 99.49.

HUMAN WASTAGE
Illiteracy in this country is more a i
rural than an urban problem, the pro
portion in rural sections being double
that of the urban. How long it will j
be until the "moonlight school." with i
its force of volunteer teachers, can I
reach and teach the millions, and j
the city night schools, when provi- i
sion is made for this class, can re
deem the. urban illiterates, none can i
forecast. It seems, at first thought, a j
stupendous task; but it is the easiest, |
as well as the most urgent, of the
problems that this nation has to ,
sol v e. Thousands of volunteers are I
recruiting the army of "moonlight
schools" teachers and more and more j
schools are opening at night each
year. The census or 1920 will reveal
j an appreciable reduction in illiteracy
in these states where "moonlight
schools" are operating and the cen
sus of 1930. at least, should ttnd_ that
the army if illiterates in the United
States had melted away. When it
finds this, it will also find a new and
powerful force promoting schools,
building roads, increasing Sunday
school and church attendance, build
ing up trade and swelling the avenues
of religious, civic and commercial en
terprise.
The schools need these men and
women. They need them to co-oper
ate. "Ignorance cannot co-operate,"
it is said, and co-operation is the
life of public education. The Sunday
schools and churches need these peo
ple to attend and support them, to
work and worship; the banks need
the money that they have hoarded in
cupboards or buried in the ground;
the newspapers need them as readers,
the book publishers need them as
patrons and Uncle Sam needs them
to patronize his stampstores, the
postofflces.
I But more by far than all the needs
of school and church and trade, these
i men and women need and deserve, for
| their own sake, to be redeemed. They
| are barred from life's best things—
I good books, letters and intelligent
i voting. They are also barred from
i the reading of God's promises. They
are enslaved in a land where Liberty
is the boast and pride.—Cora Wilson
Stewart, in The Christian Herald.
BOMBS FOR BERLIN

Now that we are to have an Amer
ican Aviation Corps, I will present
a SI,OOO Liberty Bond to the first

PREPARING CAMP
FOR ARRIVAL OF
NATIONAL GUARD
Government Engineers Take
Charge of Work at
Augusta Site
Augusta, Ga., July 25. Govern
ment engineers from the Department
of the Southeast have arrived in Au
gusta and took charge of work on
the building of Camp Hancock,
where the Pennsylvania National
Guard will be camped within a short
time.
The site selected for Camp Han
cock is possibly the finest in the en
tire South, says government engi
neers and boards of inspectors that
have visited Augusta froxii time to
time within the past few weeks. Gen
eral Wood, commander of the De
partment of the Southeast, says that
it Is one of the best, and Augusta
was one of the first cities to be rec
ommended by General Wood for a
camp.
Camp Near City
It is an average of five hundred
feet above sea level and on the range
of the famous sand hills of Georgia,
lying west of the city of Augusta,
and adjacent to the famous winter
hotels where notables visit each win
ter. John D. Rockefeller, ex-Presi
dent Taft, Henry F. Frlck. and lead
ers In business and professional lines
come to Augusta i\r a part of the
winter each year lo enjoy the tine
climate.
The site selected for the camp in
cludes a portion of the site used in
1898 for a camp during the Spanish-
American war, and war department
records show that this was one of
the healthiest places used. It was
then "Camp MacKenzie" and a large
number of Pennsylvania soldiers
were camped here during the winter
of IS9B-99.
Good Water Supply
The camp is along the Georgia
railroad and an extension of the
street railway lines will be built to
the site, work to begin this week. A
small portion of it is within the city
limits. The water supply will be
excellent, the city having the facili
ties to filter all water used by the
troops.
Preliminary work has begun to
make the stay of the Pennsylvania
National Guard here pleasant. Com
mittees began work this week to plan
wholesome amusement for the sol
diers. The Y. M. C. A. is at work,
and it is planned to have a branch
of that organization on the camp
grounds. A committee of women
has been appointed and they will
begin this week to get pledges for
magazines and daily newspapers to
be sent to the guardsmen. It is plan
ned to get as many pledges as pos
sible for two or more newspapers
and a like number of magazines from
the different families of Augusta.
Thousand Men at Work
One thousand laborers arrived In
the city on Monday to begin work on
the construction. A limited amount
of lumber is on the ground for the
beginning of the building of the three
hundred wooden structures and sev
eral train loads are on their way to
Augusta from various points in Geor
gia and Florida. The Georgia rail
road will lay tracks into the camp
to facilitate freight handling. It will
require 4,362,192 feet of lumber alone
for the construction work. T. O.
Brown and Son, local contractors,
have charge of the construction
work.

MEN FOR ATTACK
Hindenburg Frankly Admits
Big Offensive Out of
the Question
By Associated Press
Copenhagen, July 2 5.—A remark
ably frank article by the Berlin cor
respondent of the National Tiden
den, passed by the foreign office cen
sorship, discusses the seamy side of
the submarine campaign and the ef
fect it has upon neutrals. It is gen
erally recognizer, he said, that the
longer the campaign continues, the
fewer friends Germany will have
after the war.
This consideration, together with
the thoughts of many billions which
another six months war would cost,
were the two principal factors which
controbuted to bringing a majority
of the Reichstag into line upon a
bid for immediate peace. The cor
respondent says now it is generally
admitted that the effect of the cam
paign has been miscalculated, not
regarding the amount of tonnage de
stroyed, but as to the time required
to make its effect felt in England
The German people are still confi
dent that it will succeed ultimately
if given time and they themselves
are able to hold out.
Disregarding Galician happenings
as accidental, the correspondent
says there can be no question of a
big offensive owing to lack of men,
as Field Marshal Von Hindenburg
frankly admitted, but there is no
doubt the front can hold out. The
correspondent gives as two of the
most striking impressions upon his
return to Berlin, the disappearance
of children who have been sent to
the country in thousands, and the
appearance of a new type of Ber
liner. a lank individual with skin
hanging in folds who has supplanted
the corpulent German. A few have
lost less than fifteen pounds In
weight, many more than thirty, but
they are healthy and usually im
proved. Another feature is the dis
appearance of vegetables owing to
the drought. Green groceries display
only lemons and onions.
DRIVE AGAINST IM.ITERACY
Mrs. Stewart has received many
letters from those who have been
benefited by the "moonlight schools."
She says: "I value these letters more
than a fashionable woman would
value her jewels."
One woman of Carrollton, Ky.,
writes thanking the founder of the
"moonlight schools." "I have been
going seven nights, and have learned
to read and write," says her letter.
"I am 43 years old and have written
my first letter to my mother, the next
to you."
Another adult pupil from Creek
more, Ky.. writes: "I can do some
thing this year I could not do last,
and that is write a letter."
A resident of Rocky Hill. K.v.. age
53, writes: "We are having a 'moon
light school' here. I didn't know all
the alphabet when I started to school;
but I have learned them all. and now
I can read and write a little. I read
the first book most through, and 1
would be glad to have the second.
I didn't have a change to go to school
when I was a boy. I think the 'moon
light school' the grandest thing in the
world! I am going to keep up my
studies until I can read the Bible for
myself, and this is my first letter
that I have been able to write."
A Kentucky woman writes from
Burkesville: "I am 38 years old and
I could neither read nor write until I
went to the "moonlight school." I
have had 14 lessons, and can read my
Bible and enjoy it."
These are samples of many others,
all expressing genuine gratitude for
the uplift the movement has given
to them, and for the new and wider
horizon it has brought into their lives.

DESTROYERS GIVE
FIGHT TO DARING
GERMAN U BOATS
Quick Work of Crew Saves
Vessel From Sudden
Attack
A Erittsh Port on the Southeast
Coast. July 26.—Just how a British
destroyer acts when attacked by a
submarine was unexpectedly demon
strated to an Associated Press corre
spondent to-day while traveling on
one of the modern oil-driven torpei.o
boat destroyers from England to
France.
The correspondent had been taken |
aboard the destroyer for the purpose |
of observing British methods or
combatting the submarine menace. '
when the boat was suddenly attacked
by a submarine, a torpedo missing it j
by a scant six feet, thanks to the \
vigilance and quick action of tne j
crew.
The destroyer was one of a certain
number which were convoying in the \
usual manner some large transports |
carrying British troops to Franco. |
The group of ships was half way j
across the Channel when suddenly
one of the lookouts saw a pair or 1
twin periscopes rise for a moment a l
few inches out of the water a half- |
mile away. They were gone the next
Instant but almost before they haa 1
gone came the shout "submarine on |
port bow." accompanied by a shrill j
call of warning from the destroyer's 1
whistle and the fluttering out of the i
flag which notified every other ship
in the convoy of the enemy's pres
ence.
Tilings Happen Quickly
On every ship things began to hap
pen, more quickly than the telling.
Guns were swung in the direction
from which the periscope had been
seen, ready t" .speak if the periscope
appeared again. Torpedo tubes like
wise were swung into line and tne
numerous antisubmarine devices on
deck were In the hands of their
skilled expert crews.
But even while this was being done
came the torpedo, clearly visible from
the deck, its gleaming brass body
glistening in the bright sunlight, its
propellers sending it at express train
speed straight toward the destroyer.
Something was wrong with the mecn
anism of this particular torpedo, for
it should have traveled twelve or fif
teen feet below the surface. Instead,
it came bounding along in plain sight,
now and then leaping out of the wa
ter. like a flat stone made to skip
over the surface.
Missed by Six Feet
Even thus, it might have found rrs
target but for the presence of mind
of the 60-year-old coxswain. He had
been first to sight the periscope, and
had rushed immediately to an emer
gency lever whereby he instantly
stopped the port engine, thus swing
ing the ship with a lurch to the left.
The torpedo whizzed through the
water six feet behind the stern of
the destroyer, its gradually lessen
ing speed as it sank into the swirl of
the engines indicating that its possi
bilities for mischief were nearly done.
Except for the coxswain's action
tn twisting the ship from its course,
the missile would apparently have
made a square hit in the stern maga
zine.
Meanwhile the wireless was at
work notifying the hundreds of pa
trols in all directions that the enemy
was near. "We sighted a submarine
on the port bow, just off buoy,
2.03 p. m. Torpedo passed just be
hind our stern, missing us. We are
proceeding with our convoy," said the
captain's message.
Call In ChaHern
It was caught simultaneously
ashore and afloat by a hundred vigl-

lant wireless operators. The destroy
er's captain, acting on his orders,
must not leave his convoy to seek out
and attack the U-boat. Others would
attend to that. Already tney wer
gathering for the chase—trawlers,
chasers, drifters, destroyers, even
a dirigible airship had caught the
wireless call and with a quick turn
of a seagull, was swooping down to
the pursuit.
The transports and destroyers, al
though fairly confident that the Ü
boat would scarcely dare show herself
again, even for a pot-shot, were nev
ertheless taking every precaution.
Kvery ship was at full speed, ou
burnlng destroyers constantly pro
tecting their charges.
Lutheran Church Protects
Against Treason Charge
By Associated Press
Lincoln, Neb., July 25.—The Nebras
ka State Council of Defense to-day
announced that a committee repre
senting the synods of the different
bodies of the Lutheran Church ap
peared before the council late yes
terday and protested against the
council's recent statement allegmgv
Lutherans in Nebraska were disloyal.
To make plain its position, the
council to-day issued the following
statement:
"The State Council disavows any
purpose to reflect upon the Lutheran
Church itself and reiterates its orig
inal statement that it depends upon
American patriotism of the men ana
women who comprise the Lutheran
Church membership and the loyal
pastors. The Council repeats that Its
| charges are not addressed against tne
entire Lutheran church body, but only
1 against those who 'have publicly and
privately discouraged the American
I cause and have shown marked par

, enemy.""
