Union, S. C., June 17, 1918. Senator James Hamilton Lewis, Washington, D. C. Sir: Senator B. R. Tillman's enemies are circulating the report that he is mentally and physically broken down and therefore unfit to represent South Carolina in the United States senate. I think every one feels that Sena' tor Tillman should be returned to the senate if he is able, mentally and physically, to perform the duties required. , Will you not be kind enough to ' write me about the physical and mental condition of the senator? Thanking you, I am, sir, Sincerely, L. G. SOUTHARD. Mr. L. G. Southard, Union, S. C. My Dear Mr. Southard: I am in receipt of your letter of June 17 and in reply will say: Senator Tilman is now in his 72nd year, and is not the vigorous debater he once was, nor is his physical strength so great that he should be required to squander it, but he does as much work as any man in the Capitol. His mind is clear, his heart is clean, his experience is ripe and his patriotism above reproach. That he has done great things you all know. That he is continuing his splendid work here we know, and bear cheerful testimony to this fact. Cordially and sincerely yours, JAMES HAMILTON LEWIS. Two-Thirds of Subs Destroyed. Paris, June 22.?Two-thirds of the German submarines launched are already at the bottom of the sea, according to a statement made to the i deputies by the under-secretary of the navy. "And," continued the under-secretary, "we are destroying them twice as fast as they are building them." j AMERICANS MAKE RAID. Bring in Prisoners?Our Artillery Very Busy. With American Army in France. June 19.?Two American patrols crossed the Marne east of Chateau Thierry early this morning. They established contact with the hostile forces, killed a considerable number of the enemy and brought back prisoners. These were from Landwehr units, which is taKen a. an indication that no hostile attacks are in-j tended at this po V. in the immediate future. Late this afternoon American machine gunners discovered a hostile party in considerable numbers apparently making ready to attempt to crrss ihe river But ail cr these auns were turned loose for a few minutes the enemy abandoned whatever plans he had. The American artillery east and west of Chateau Thierry for several hours late last night and this morning deluged the enemy with shells. The enemy retaliated today with numerous long-range batteries. mm < > AMERICAN HOSPITAL SACKED. Ottoman Troops Also Attack U. S. Consulate in Persia. Washington, June 19.?Attack by Turkish troops on the American consulate at Tabriz, Persia, and the looting ofc an American missionary hosDital in that city, reported to the State Department today, was believ-! ed in some quarters here to presage the long anticipated declaration of the existence of a state of war between the United States and the Otto-1 f man Empire. Diplomatic relations between the two governments have been suspend- j ed since April 20, 1917, when Turkey withdrew Abdul Hak Hasseinbey, who had been acting as charge of the Turkish embassy here since the compulsory retirement of the ambassador which followed his open criticism of the United States government, necessarily American Ambassador Morgenthau was obliged to leave Constantinople. ! ? ? MANY SHIPS LAUNCHED. Independence Day This Year Will Play Big Part in U. S. History. Washington, June 22.?Celebration of July 4th this year will be made notable for all time by the launching from American shipyards of the largest number of ships of the greatest aggregate tonnage ever put into water in one day. Independence day's contribution to i the merchant fleet on which the j world is depending for victory over the Germans will be at least 89 vessels with a capacity of 439,885 deadweight tons. , In addition, enthusiastic workmen are straining every nerve to complete six other hulls in time for them to join in the splash that will be heard around the world which would make the total tannage 470,886. The conservative estimate of launchings to take place on the day Americans venerate more than any other is one-third more than the entire production of seagoing tonnage in United States yards in the fiscal year of 1915-1916, and exceeds by 42,050 tons the launcliings of 1901, the record pre-war year in American shipbuilding. The shipping board's banner construction month of May will be eclipsed in one day, both in number of ships and tonnage. Thirty-seven of the hulls expected to be launched will be steel, with a tonnage of 254,6S6. They will include the 12,500 ton cargo carrier William Penn, the 12,000 ton Challenger of the same type, the three sisters, Independence, Victorious and Defiance, all of the 11,800 ton class; each and eight of the 8,900 tons each and eight o fthe 8,900 ton freighters. The Lake Pearl, 2,300 ton vessel which is to take to the water on Lake Michigan, will have the baby honors of the day. The average tonnage of the steel vessels is 6,883. With the exception of the 4,700 ton Beechland and two others of 4,000 tons, the 52 wooden hulls which are to be launched are of the 3,000 ton type. Their total tonnage is 185,200. The Pacific coast yards will launch 26 wooden and 17 steel vessels totalling 250,700 deadweight tons. The east will be a close second to the west, making ready for 38 launchings, irom yaras 011 tne Atlantic ana tiuit coasts, 27 of which will be wooden vessels totalling 95,700 deadweight tons and 11 steel vessels totaling 7 0,486 deadweight tons, making a grand total of 172,186 deadweight tonnage. Mobile, Ala., Moss Point. Mass., and Orange, Texas, will lead the Southern yards with each city holding a double launching. Let's not wait for "history to punish the Boche."
