GERMAN OFFICER
DESCRIAES VEAT
Commander of Turkish Craft Gives In
cident Showing Quick Wit in Peril.
Constantinople, July 15. - Capt.
Lieut. Rudolpr Firle, commander of
the Turkish torpedo boat Muavent,
which sout the British line ship' Go
liath to the bottom of Mforto bay off
SId-el-iahr in the Dardanelles, has
told his own full story of his exploit
to the Associated Press correspond
ent, amplifying with some interesting
detals the earlier accounts.
Capt. Firle is a young wan of 33
years, but looks ito morn than 26. He
is a l1hinelamer, slight in build, and
speaks 1English al'most without foreign
accent. The torpedo boat he coin
mande(d was one of four vessels of
the saie class which were transferred
from cerman to Turkish ownershtip
several years ago. Before her change
in owiorship she was known as the
S-165.
When asked to relate his experience
in sinking the Goliath, Capt. Firle
proceeded with this straightforward,
matter-of-fact narrative:
"The BritIsh ships off the Darda
nelles entrance were causing the
Turkish I roops near SId-el-Iahr
some trouble. It was decided that
something would have to be done to
riemove a little of the onesidediess of
the affair.
"Shortly after midnight, May 12-13,
the M latlI slipped through the
Turkish mine field and approached
t(he BirItish fleet of warships and
traispork which was lying in and
south o lito hay.
'As we passed one of the lost prom
ontories the British fleet, with every
hole lit and projector playing, gave
all file Impression of a large city
let me say like lKiel on Regatta day.
"The IrWitissh Ships had ont that day
kept it the bombardment of the
'irk ish positions tint i after 11 o'clock
at -night. On the way down I held
a coiieil with m1y two lieutetants as
to Itie time of iiglit we were to iiake
(tir at we-k. We th ught at ir t that
tle noi is of tile boimbaridmenit which
was then. still going oI voll aid us.
1.11e. we d1e12lded to wait until tle
weary crews hadl tirnmied in, expecting
that. af siio so treiluous1 a day's work
they mnild he too tire( to exercise
niore han a perfunctory vigilaice.
"It was prcven shortly afterwards
thiat this theory was correct.
"We continued down tle strait at,
a lei.urely gait of from seven to
et0hh knots an h0lour. I ordered this
beeanitse I wanted to get as close to
the i litisl as possible before Ihey
wol d(isco18 ver thie priiesence of anl
enemy 's craft. Driving a torpedo
boit's i.ahinery at full tilt causes a
grca (1:eal of noise and what is worse
blows too ma ny sparks out1 of, tie
linnels.
"It vas about 12::0 miditiglt when
I saw 111hlead of me ithe outlines of t wo
Ilritish dest 'royvirs. They were pat roll

then number two and three-tet see

"The first torpedo hit the Goliath
well forward.- I saw a blinding flash
and a cloud of smoke. Before the see
ond torpedo struck-near the for
ward mast- the vessel had already
libted to starboard.
"Dy the second torpedo an oxi)lo

was caused. Before the third torpedo

lost.
I'LD UP THE SOIL
BY USE OF LE(AUMES
Let These Vatherers of Nitrogen Share
the Farm This Winter With Oats
and Wheat.
Clemson College, August ld.-For
three years the demonstration forces
of Clemson College and the United
States department of agriculture have
put soil-building in the very front of
the things they have been teaching
South Carolina farmers, for the rea
son that they believed that the most
serious limiting factor in Southern ag
riculture is the lack of hunius, or de
eayed vegetable matter, in the soil.
Giant strides in soil-building have
been taken by the state during these
three years, but there are many farms
which have not yet felt the invigorat
ing influence of good soil-building
iethods and this work will be con
finuied energetically uintil the state has
been completely won to soil-building.
Many experimients have proved that
lie (ilekest and most economical way
to build uiP worn-out soils is by using
tle wiiter legumes. such as burr and
crimson clover and vetch. The use of
lie clovers and vetchles as winter
cover crops was accordingly iade the
principal point of attack by the deub
oustration forces and the resualts since
1909, when South Carolina had only
2187 acres in (lover of all kinds, are
commonly known.
Last fall, owing to the advisability
of growing imloney crops dui ring wilnter
and to the (Iltliculty of obtaining win
ler legume seed, Clemson College
ised its principal efforts to have farm
ers seed their land to wheat and oats
and the results have justilled this.
!lut there was tievessarily not so big
an acreage in winter legumnes last
year 1s there wou hi have bee n had tile
war not begin wheni it did.
This year, mioreover, Clemson Col
Iegv is again uirgintg fari(ers to sow
wheat and oats and again it is likely
that there will be less interest il
elover thaln there would have beeni
hatidlthis beeni a year of nortna1 cond(1i
tions.
Nevertheless, (lenison College urges
fa rmuers to 1110i leiebr that. a far tmerc's
lir.-;tneed Is goodl land and~ timit ini
not lhe ('nlled good land, becaus-e it Is

CREAMERY CLUB
WAS ORIAMZED
Now Prospect Citizens Met Last Fri.
day and Completed Organization of
Club.
Many progressive citizens of the
New Prospect section of this county
met last Friday and organized a
creamery club. Fifteen mejnbers were
enrolled at the meeting and fifty cows
were entered for the service. The
creamery club idea is being thorough
ly boosted by the experts at Clemson
College and this local club is based
on the facts and figures furnished by
the authorities there. Tho' Clemson
authorties are willing to give all the
aid possible in creating these cream
cries over the state and they will in
all probability send an inspector to
New Prospect to help in selecting the
most convenient route.
At the meeting last Friday Mr. J. 11.
Powers was elected president of the
organization apd Mr. W. 1. Clink
scales was elected secretary. It is to
these two hustling farmers that most
of the credit is due for this progres
sive movement. It is the first in this
county but those who are interestea
in the wlfare of the county as a
whole are hoping that other sections
will take up the matter in the near
future. They have been operated most
successfully in many other sections of
the state and undoubtedly can be
made just as successful if not more
so in Laurens county.
Laurens 3iil Wins Again.

It Is this kind of a production that
scores instantaneous success before
any class of audience. It contains a
itrmendouts appeal as a result of its
red-blooded story; which shows a
minister fighting against monstrous
odds b1oth in his family and amongst
his diocese, a hard and crude collec
tion of miners. In both instances he
faces seemingly inevitable failure, hut
by continual perseverance he wilns
success.
