URGED TO RUSH DESTROYERS. L'-ltoat .Monaco Looms Dig, Says Sir Erle Geddes. Now York, Oct. LG.-?All appeal from tho British government to America to expedite the construction . of destroyers and anti-submarine craft and appliances was made here to-night by Slr Bric Geddes, first lord of tin; British admiralty, after he had asserted that the U-boat i menace to-day is "greater than it over was." Speaking at a dinner given by the Pilgrim Society, Sir Kile said that within the past few diys he and Vite Admiral Ludovic Duff, of the British navy, had discussed the naval situation in all ?ts bearings with i Secretary Daniels and Admiral Ben son, and Hitit "complete unity ol' views" had been reached.

TRANSPORT IS SUNK AT PIER. Troop Ship wus Formerly a <?onnnn Tran ?-At hui tlc Liner. Hoboken, N. J., Oct. 15.-Shortly before t the American troop trans port America, (formorly the German trans-Atlantic passenger Amerika,) was about to sail to-day for Europe with soldiers and supplies, the vessel sank at her pier hero. In tho early morning darkness, while the troops aboard were sleep ing, the America settled with her keel in the mud, leaving only three of her eight decks above water. So far as known there was no loss of life. Earlier reports woro that between 30 and 4 0 of tho crew had perished after being trapped in tho bollor room. Troops were placed on guard out side the pier, and details rogarding tho sinking wore denied to inquirers.. The cause of tho accidont remained a mystery even to Navy Department officials. A theory expressed in soma quarters was that water poured into ; the hold as a result of uncompleted i repairs apparently did not conform with the fact that tho ship was ready i to weigh anchor to-day for a foreign port. It is learned, however, that a gang [ of machinists was at work at the ' time the vessel settled, and it was suggested that one of these men, being a civilian and not familiar with marine mechanism, inadvertently opened a seacock under the impres sion that he was closing it. The submerged America, next to .he largest of the government's trans ports, was in sight ol' persons cross- | ng the lower Hudson river on ferry boats. The vessel appeared to be resting in even keel. Tug boats and gov ernment vers?is with cranes were at work, and it is evident tlint opera tions had boen begun tc raise he;. Tho America (22,b'?'2 tonal has a space for carrying 8,000 troops and a . rew of 1,200 men. Of the trjops ; hat were to have sailed on the Amer ica lt is said that only 200 or "?00 were on board at the time.

Director Missionary Cou ruc, Mood y Bibi? Institute, Chicago V TEXT-Who ls my neighbor?-Luke 10: 29. Read Luke 10:25-37. In the parable of the Good Samari tan, Jesus ls clearly undertaking to show the univer sal obligation of Christian serv ice. The question to whom this ob ligation ls duo and the measure of the obligation confronts many an honest in quirer, It is In teresting to dis cover the meaning of tho master's answer to the young man's ques tion. He seems to say that my neighbor is the man In need, the man lu need of what I have to give, and whose need arises and ls made known to me at a time when I nm able to give lt. If this be true, how amazing and wonderful has become the world neighborhood, and how clearly ls the Christian's duty to make Christ known emphasized by the universality of human suffering. Like the man on the way to Jericho, na tions Ile stricken, bleeding, hungry and ready to die. Over against this appalling fact, the like of which the Christian never faced before In ali the history of the world, stands Christ, Cod's only an swer to human need. We of America know him. We have him enthroned In many an earnest heart. We have throughout the land the open Bible, God's word spoken to sinful and suffer ing man everywhere and In all ages, words of love, words of hope and wor^c of comfort. How mightily lt be nooves us In this time of world tragedy and suffering to study the parable of the Good Samaritan and to search our own hearts to know whether or not we as Individuals are rendering that ministry to the suffering which human need requires, and our knowledge of human suffering and our ability to al leviate lt insistently requires. What a reproach that in the mas tor'" r?nrnble *bo r??r?re????ntnHvp?? of r?*. Uglon-tho sor vants pf thc Temple ot. God--passed by tm- sufferer. Each knew of ibo ense of b i.- an need Ench looked upon thc torn and bleeding lorin. Each possessed the rosonrci u from which to help. Ye* each turned away passing on the other side, delib erately walking away from this revela tion of suffering and need, deaf to this cry. So proud, so self-righteous, so ex clusive, were these servants of religion, and so devoted were they to the forms and ceremonies of their service, and so Ailed with the thought of their own importance, that there seemed to be no place in either heart for the milk of human kindness. Will we ever again permit this reproach to be laid at the door of the representatives of religion? Cnn lt bo possible that those who pro fess to be followers of Jesus Christ, and who are the exponents and advo cates of the Christian religion, shall fall to exemplify that high and holy lovc^wherewlth the master loved men? Shall we forget In the days to como that the .master himself In answer to the doubt of John the forerunner an nounced ns the evidence of his divinity nnd gave ns the proof of his adequate ministry to men, that "the blind re ceive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the denf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good tidings preached to them." Shall we not, :\B we Journey toward the.day of world peace, lu our comfort of circumstances, In our amplitude of resources, think of the peoples who have fallen by the way? Will not Bel gium and Frnnce and Roumnnln nnd Armenia and grent, old, riven, torn .ind demoralized Russin, drnw out of the Christinn hen rt of America the min istry of healing, the ministry of money, the ministry of a Chrlstly love? Surely the grout lessons of self" denlnl nnd self-sacrifice which we nro lenrnlng ns n people In this grent wnr will In Cod's good providence prepnre tis for that new neighborhood created hy the universality of suffering nnd the heart hunger of Ibo world.

Do Away with "Yaller Dog." Our good friend, Frank H. Hill, j of the Highlands section of North i Carolina, was in Walhalla for a short ' while last Thursday. He brought ? down a load of "produce-cabbage, ' apples, potatoes, etc.-and several bags of wool. Mr. Hill was somewhat perturbed on reaching Walhalla to find so many people going around with "masks" on, and for a brief period thought, .seriously of "back-tracking" it to his homo section, to which the "flu" had not flown when ho left home. But he felt moro secure when we advised him to adopt tho saturated mask and go about his business as usual and rest easy in mind. He ls a sensible man and at once replied that he would do It, getting a "mask" down-town and the necessary medi cant from one of thc drug stores. How different from some of the nuts here who poo-booed the idea of wear ing masks and walked around with out protection for themselves or for others. But that's another story, i Mr. Hill raises sheep up at his North Carolina farm, and he sells mutton and wool. Ho bad with hi n I about 75 pounds of wool, which he brought down to Walhalla to ship to tho Lcakville Woollen Mills over at Leakville, N. C. Ho gets $1.25 a pound for all the wool he sells-that, ls, $1.2.') after it Is washed and j cleaned. It nets him about $1 per j pound as it comes from the sheep. Mr. Hill is enthusiastic In his be i lief in the good sense and profitable ; ness of raising sheep for the purposes j of both food and raiment. Recently i he sold three sheep, for which he re ceived a little more than $32 "on tho hoof." And occaslonalyy he slaughters one when he wants some thing really good to eat in the meat. ? line, and he sells that portion of the lamb or sheep that his own re quirements do not call for. For in stance, the last one he slaughtered brought him over $lfi at retail on the ! Highlands market, and Mr. Hill kept, ono quarter of the sheep for his fam ily use. But the sheep business, like j everything else, has its drawbacks, and tho one great drawback to the sheep Industry ls the "yaller dog.' I "What we need," said Mr. Hill, "h- a set of clear, common-sense laws that, will protect tho sheep and do iwtv'y i with the 'yaller dog' nuisance. Ono dog will d<.? more damage lu a sth?&'jt 'community than all {.hd'yelloW dogs i:i thc- Sl.i.o could p05.sll>!\ worth j for any and all purposes." And we agree, with him. There are too many "yaller dogs" and lot j enough sheep in our own State as I well as in that portion of the Old North Stnto from which Mr. HUI comes. There is something that our ' legislators might well consider uaw between sessions of the General As sembly. Give the sheep a chance and let the worthless dogs be done away , with. This is a day of conservation .and production; therefore there is no real pince In our State, natloial 'or local economic fields for the "yal ler dog." j Our legislators might get some really valuable pointers from Mr. I Hill along the Uno of sheep raising j and the commercial value of this J wonderful little animal. And the mean things Mr. Hill knows about the I worthless cur as a family are only j exceeded by the mean things that, everybody now knows about the Ger I man kaiser. Now you know j?at about how mean a worthless dog io; Mr. Hill is an interesting talker, and be is deeply interested In the war. He has one son in the service of lindo Sam, and this young sol dier of freedom has but recently been given a lieutenancy. He sailed for I Europe October T>th, and as yet his , parents have not received the always anxiously watched for ?rd annonsc inj* safe arrival over .oas. Young Hill attended one of the officers train ing camps and made good on comple tion of tho conreo, Stanhope Hill, a younger son. .Ac companied Mr. Hill to Walhalla last, week. We are always glad to wel come Mr. Hill here. Ho is one of the whole-souled kind that one jtist can't help liking. Prominent .Methodist .Minister Bend. (Anderson Mail, 17th.)
