BRITANNIA STILL RI LES THE I
. WAVE
Churchill Sees No Cause for Worrry
London, Nov. 27.?Winston Spencer
Churchill, first lord of the admirality,
told the house of commons today
that, despite the navy's losses
since the outbreak of the war, there
was no cause for nervousness over its
present and future effectiveness.
"We can afford to lose a superdreadnaught
every month for 12
months without a single loss to the
enemy and be in as good a position of
superiority as we were at tne outbreak
of the war," said the first lord.
Of the older armor cruiser, Mr.
Churchill said, Great Britain had lost
six and Germany two. At the beginning
of the war Great Britain had 8G
light modern cruisers to Germany's
25. Great Britain had lost two and
Germany had lost, or interned, a quarter
of her number. Great Britain,
since the commencement of the war,
also had added as many light cruisers
as Germany had lost.
Contrast of Growth.
Mr. Churchill declared the maximum
reinforcement Germany could
receive to the end of 1915 was threecapital
ships, while the strength of
the British fleet in that period could
be increased by (5 ships.
The reason Great Britain could not
produce results on a large scale with
submarines, Mr. Churchill went on,
was because they so seldom have been
offered opportunity to attack. The |
losses in submarines sustained by the |
British and the Germans had been j
equal, he said.
British torpedo boat destroyers had j
shown enormous superiority over Ger-'
YYlHr? nnwni' "Wo liauo Incf tinnn1
many has lost eight or ten," the speak
er said.
The economic pressure on Germany
Mr. Churchill said, continued to develop
in a healthy and satisfactory
manner. Hundreds of ships of over
300 tons burden entered and left the
ports of the United Kingdom daily,
while a deficiency in the commodities
necessary for munitions of war was
beginning to make itself felt in the
enemy's military organization.
Loss Not Heavy.
While the admiralty estimates that
there would he a loss of 5 per cent of
the BritLsh mercantile marine in the
first three months of the war, the first
lord said, the percentage has been
only 1.9. The danger from mines was
one the limit of which could be discerned,
and which could further be
restricted and controlled. The enemy
p had adopted methods which it was
not thought would he practiced by any
civilized power, but the danger from
them had been and still was being
further restricted and controlled by
the navy.
Mr. Churchill said thel'c had been
[ some danger of the escape from Germany
to the high sea of fast liners
equipped with guns for commerce destruction,
but that that danger up to
the present had boon successfully surmounted.
Mr. Churchill declined to discuss
such topics as the navy engagement
off Heligoland, the destruction of the
British cruisers Monmouth and
Good Hope off the coast of Chile and
the British naval expedition to Antwerp,
claiming such discussion would
be profitless until he was able to reveal
all the facts.
Literature for the Philippines.
Rev. Jesse L. McLaughlin, Sunday
school secretary of the Philippines,
reports that he is now preparing a
series of organization leaflets on
"The Formation of the School,'" "The
Making of a Superintendent," "Makof
a Secretary," "Making of a Teacher,"
"Training of a Teacher," "The
Ideal Scholar," and kindred subjects.
The multiplicity of dialects making it
necessary to publish these leaflets in
many languages, for while the English
is being taught it is si ill impossible
to do "real heart teaching" in
any tongue of the people. In many
schools, some of them very good
schools, too, almost none of the teachers
or pupils can use any English at
all.
Frank Says He is Innocent.
Leo M. Frank, under death sentence
/ for the murder at Atlanta, Ga., last
April of Mary Phugan last Friday
gave out a statement to the public declaring
his innocence of the crime and
reviewing the Circumstances surround
ing his trial and the legi^ steps taken
to obtain for him a rehearing or a set

CHEAPNEW FUELFOR
GASOLINE ENGINES
MUCH BEING CLAIMED FOR "ZOL1NE"
THE NEW FLUID.
FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION
There Appears to be Big Names in
Auto World Associated With this
Proposed New Substitute for Gasoline.
The small comment aroused by the
invention of the fluid called "zoline"
a substitute for gasoline as a fuel for
motorcars, is a sign that the press
is wary of the claims for it and, indeed,
the announcement that a fuel
as good or better than gasoline is to
be placed on the market at 2 or 3
cents a gallon seems too good to b"
true.
Nevertheless, it is established that
the fluid was given a test in Indianapolis.
which observers report was
wholly satisfactory. The Public Ledger
of Philadelphia, which published
reports of the test, received numerous
letters expressing doubt of the truth
of the claims for "zoline" and last
Thursday printed a number of telegrams
about it. Here are two of them
Reports on Test.
"Indianapolis, Intl., Nov 24.
"I know personally about in is prodI
net "zoline." If i? m wonderful nronnsi
tion. It consists of nine parts rain
water and one-tenth a secret chemical.
A test was held at the Indianapolis
motor speedway last week under
official A. A. A. sanction. A thoussand
miles were driven at an average
of 50 miles per hour. The motor fuel
was made right there on the ground.
The cost of making is less than 2 cent
a gallon. It is manufactured through
a still. One of these stills is to be
shown at the coming New York automobile
show, and the product manufactured
right in the hall. The engine
of the car has been torn down and no
ill effects were found on the motor. I
could refer you to a dozen prominent
Indiapopolis men concerning its wonderful
merits. Not only is it good for
automobiles, but for any engine using
gasoline for energy. In fact, it is better
because the heat units arc less
j and the combustion power greater
j than gasoline.
W. Blaine Patton,
"Manager Star News Bureau."
"Indian apolis, Ind., Nov. 25
"Wo have tested in Marmon cars the
| new fuel styled zoline. It is apparently
an entirely successful substitute
for gasoline. Representatives of our
company have seen the fuel made experimentally
and did not detect any
fraud. We have, no definite knowledge
as to the cost of production, and there
j fore can not say whether the new fuel
i will revolutionize motor traffic. It
looks li!'r> ?? crr>iininn rnmnvl/nMn /lie
j covcry. which is stiil in an experimen!
tal state?.
"Nordyke & Mavmon Co."
Another, from a news agency in
Pittsburgh, quotes Andrus, the inj
ventov, who lives in McKeesport, Pa.,
! as saving that the fluid, 90 per cent
I of which is rain water, and the re!
nainde^ a secret composition, can be
J manufactured, on a small scale, at
1 i-'2 cents per gallon, ami on a large
scale for loss.
Another of the Public Ledger's telegrams,
which speaks for itself, is as
follows:
''Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 2.r>.
"Whatever publicity has emanated
through various sources about zoline,
which name, by the way, has not been
definitely fixed by the owners of the
formula, has been against their wishes
and desires. We can say that the
tests of the products as manufactured
from both fresh and salt water
distillation have been better than on
some hydrometer tests of gasoline.
The men closely allied are: Carl B.
Fisher, P? A. Allison of the Prestolite
company; Henry B. Joy, president of
the Packard company; Ray Chapin of
the Hudson company; Howard Marin
on, of Nordyke & Mavmon company.
These gentlemen are men of
large business interests, whose names
have never been connected with a fail
ure in the financial or motor car
world. Their connection would give
credence to any claims made officially
for the new motor spirit.
"E. W. Steinhart,
"President Cadillac Automobile company
of Indiana."
''1 ninm^ont 5f T t*11A "
1UI|/VI KIIIV |1 Ml HL't
If those claims be true, they are of
prodigious importance. "Zoline" even
at 5 cents a gallon wiuld be less than
one-third the present cost of gasoline
and the miles per gallon made in the
Indianopolis test were more than gasoline
gives. It is further said that
stills, together with the secret composition,
will be sold so that every
owner of a car may manufacture his
| own fuel.
, Despite the favorable reports from
| )v; \,o.;?.ib!c persons, it is too soon to
VILLAS TROOPS IN THE CAPITAL j
State Department Officials Credit Re-1
port.
Washington, Nov. 27.?Administration
officials today credited reports
that Gen. Villa's troops had joined
Zapata forces in Mexico City. They
had no definite advices.
The last dispatch to the state department,
dated yesterday, reported
that Zapata's men and agents of Gen.
Villa controlled the city. All official
dispatches say order is being maintained,
the only looting mentioned being
that of a ranch in the outskirts
owned by an American. In the same
vicinity the Spanish ambassador told
Mr. Bryan today, several Spaniards
had been reported killed. In view of
Carranza's arrival at Vera Cruz, Secretary
Bryan wired American Consul
Silliman to remain in Mexico City. He
had orignally ordered Silliman to
join Carranza when the latter was at
Orizaba. American Consul Canada at
Vera Cruz will handle all negotiations
with Carranza.
Enrigue C. Llorente, Washington
representative of Provisional President
Quttiorcz, received advices today
confirming reports that Gen. Luis
Caballero at Tampico, governor of the
State of Tamaulipas, had declared his
adherence to the Aguascalientes convention.
Cabalcrro is understood to
control the situation in Tampico and
a portion of Villa's army is marching i
towards Tampico from San Luis Potosi.
Preparations for their occupation
of the port has been made Llorente
said.

A Striking Contrast.
A hundred years ago there were
fewer than a hundred missionaries on
the field. Today there are more than
22,000. Then the Bible was translated
into almost sixty-five languages
now it is placed within the reach of
people speaking five hundred tongues
and dialects and made acceptable to
more than 80,000,000 of the human
race.
A hundred years ago there was not
a medical missionary nor a missionary
hospital in the world, and more than
two-thirds of the world were without
adequate medical knowledge; today
there are more than G75 hospitals,
! treating annuallly many millions of
patients. A century ago there was
but a little handful of mission schools.
Today there are nearly 30,000 mission
schools and colleges, educating
more than 1,500,000 in the great centers
of the new Christian world.
A century ago there was not a professing
Protestant Christian in Japan
not one in Korea; fewer than ten in
the Chinese empire, and a few thousand
in India. Today there is a Protestant
Christian community of about
90,000 adherents in Japan, 309,000 in
Korea, nearly 1,000.000 in China and
the latest figures give nearly 4,000,000
in India.
Plans for Trading in Bonds.
The stock exchange last Friday announced
that the plans for restricted
trading in bonds which they said
would be resumed next day had been
revised to permit actual trading being
printed upon the tickers.
Horses for England.
With a cargo of 1,000 horses for
use by the British and French government,
the British steamer Raeburn,
was to sail early last Friday for
French ports.

WHILE IN CHARLESTON FOR
SHORT TIME LAST SATURDAY
HUNT AT JACKSONBOBG
In Speaking About Cotton He Called
It The Most Wonderful Thing in
The World.?Nothing to ho (iainod
by Depreciating Value.
Charleston, S. O., Nov. 122.?"The
most wonderful thing in the world,"
said Hon. Ellison D. Smith, United
SUites Senator from South Carolina,
in speaking of cotton last evening.
Senator Smith arrived in the city yesterday
morning from Florence and intends
leaving for Jacksonville this
morning, where he will spend the next
iavo days in hunting and in getting
rid of the cffocts of the recent teTm
of Congress. Mr. Smith said that lie
would return home for Thanksgiving.
He is registered at the Charleston Hotel.
The junior Senator spo::e enthusiastically
on his favorite topic, "Cotton."
He said that nothing will be gained
by depreciating the value of the staple
for it is the greatest money producer
in the world. In 18G5 cotton went to
$1.89 per pound, in gold, and, he said,
England immediately organized its
Cotton Growers' Association and attempts
in Russia and several other
European nations to grow the staple
successfully were made, but all trials
were failures, however. Mr. John
Scott, of Florence, was engaged to go
over and aid in the experiment. He
remained in Russia for six or seven
years. Mr. Smith stated, but gained
110 practical results. "With so many
people talking about the diversification
of crops it will be well to bear in
mind the fact that since the people of
England, the ingenuity of the Germans,
and the versatility of the
French had failed utterly to raise cotton
in their respective countries, it
would be well for us to go a litle slowin
taking too radical a stand for diver
sification," continued Mr. Smith.
The Halance of Trade.
"England now has GO per cent of its
liquid capital invested in the manufac
ture of cotton and depends almost entirely
upon America for its supply,"
he stated. If it were impossible, Mr.
Smith said, he would like to see the
people plant not one seed of cotton
next year. Were the Government or
bankers of the country able to finance
the small planters so that they would
be in a position to refuse to plant any
seed next year, in his opinion, it
would be the best possible thing that
could happen.
The senator slated that the depreciation
of the European markets put
the balance of trade against the United
States. For the last fifteen years
the balance of trade has been in favor
of the United States by about one half
of a billion dollars, due almost entirely
to raw cotton. On account of the
present European conflict this country
is now due England about $2,000,000.
This is the first time this has
happened in years.

lieved that it the new banking and
currency law had been in effect and
firmly established at the outbreak of
hostilities the situation would have J
been greatly relieved.
Diversified Farming.
In regard to planting so much corn
attention was called to the speech of
Senator Norris of Nebraska, who in
the Chamber recently stated that
when a bumper crop of corn had been
raised out West bankruptcy and ruin
stared the people in the face. He stat
ed that he had bought a great quantity
at eight cents per bushel and had
burned it for fuel the entire winter.
While in favor of diversified farming,
Senator Smith states that he does not
favor raising great quantities of corn
when it can ho raised for eight cents
a bushel out West. "To over produce
is like the little boy who ate too many
batter cakes.'' He didn't want what he
had.
"The thing which interests us most
right now is, the effect of the Ku'npcan
war going to bo permanent or i.s
it going to effect us for years to
come?" stated Mr. Smith.
"I do not believe that the effect of
i this; war. no matter how long it max
last, can bo of as long duration as was
the effect of the civil war. The reason
being that the facilities for transportation
and communication are so much
more perfect now than then that trade
will more quickly adjust itself than
was possible even 25 years ago. I
think the general outlook though deponds
entirely upon the duration of
the European conflict."
Cotton Acreage Bill.
lie expressed himself as being much
gratified with his trip througout the
Southern States this fall to see the
vast amount of grain and forage crops

punned, ne nas Deen swamped with
requests l'or clover and alfalfa seed
during the past few months. In fact
the requests were fuIlly ten times as
much as of last year.
The new cotton acreage bill recently
passed at the special session of the leg
islature will help some towards better
ing the condition of cotton next year,
according to the Senator. These are
war times, war conditions and war
markets, he continued, and the depression
of business is being severely
felt all over the country.
"President Wilson has certainly
made the Democratic party earn its
salt," was the characteristic way the
President's policy of calling an extra
session wos expressed. Praise in regard
to the President's foreign policy
was given. lie stated that he did not
think any complications would arise
out of the Tennessee being lired upon.
Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it .is entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflamation
can bo taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dolalvs
for any case of Deafness (caused by
Catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars,
free.

Letters Received by Com missioned
Watson Show That Planters Are
Alive to Conditions. 1
The State.
The whole State is responding to
the grain planting campaign. Ia
some sections there appears to be a
veiled belief that the regular session
of the legislature will repeal the cotton
acreage reduction act, passed by
the extra session, hut all sections are*
aware of the fact that whether any
such action is taken it is the law of
common sense and of necessity that
tiie acreage of cotton be reduced. On
his return from the Piedmont Commissioner
Watson found awaiting him
some very significant U tters.
Luther Ellison, secretary of the Lan
caster Chamber of Commerce, extends
an invitation to Mr. Watson to attend
the farmers' d:iv r-t I ..'mcnefoi
.... - ^ % .4MIUI|kJVVI 1UI1
j December 4, and to make an address
in the opera house about noon of that
1 day. Mr. Ellison wrote the commismissioner
that the indications therx*
are that the business nu i will build a
| fiour mill. The ?. mini reial secretary
j at Lancaster writes further. "Rccentj
ly this oliice mailed 1,000 letters relative
to the sowing1 of wheat in Lancaster
county and requested this number
of our leading white farmers to
advise as to the acreage of wheat
they had sowed and expected to sow.
This was done with a vie wof getting;
information in connection with our
plans for a flour mill. As a result of
the investigation, so far, we have received
over 300 replies pledging an
aggregate of over 2,000 acres and every
mail brings more letters."
Some time ago Commissioner Watson
said that on account of highway
conditions he might not be permitted
to go into Jasper county on the grain
campaign, lie has received a letter
from L. 15. Altaian the farm demonI
strator of that county, urging the
' grain party to come into Jasper county
and to make addresses at the court
house at Ridgcluun. Mr. Watson will
endeavor to comply.
K. ('. Morton editor of the Abbeville
Medium and secretary of the Abbeville
county cotton congress, write??
to Commissioner Watson that Abbeville
is very much interested in the
matter of planting more grain.
David Gilliam oF Abbeville county
writes as follows: "This section of
Abbeville county is known as the Sa;
vannah side and is conceded to be the
finest grain land in the State. There
^ /
is ;i scope or country some six miles
square that is known as the 'Flatwoods.'
We never have raised cotton %
successfully." lie urges the commissioner
to make a visit to that section.
"1 know nothing that we would appreciate
more than a talk from you as
we never have anyone to give us a
talk on farming, only as we hear it
from some other source. As you well
know there is not one-half of the farm
ers that would go 15 or 20 miles to
hear a talk on agriculture." Mr. Watson
said last night that ho would go
to this section of Abbeville county.

Mexico City
Except for a few isolated cases of
robbery and violence, which resulted
in severe punishment to the offenders
the Zapata forces have maintained
good order in Mexico City, according
to advices from the Brazilian minister
to the State Department last Saturday.
