Magnifi^TSounds Device Perfeeie^d to Make Man's Voice Heard twenty Miles J San Francisco, May ^24??A man's ! voice can. be made as loud as the [cannon's roar it can be heard two or [twenty miles. The ticking- of a watch }<can be amplified until it sounds like I^Jreakers on an ocean cliff. .? a:V V-'r "It's no trick at all to magnify j sound four or five million times, or j indefinitely," said Tom Lamberti a ; wireless telephone engineer, . today. I'"All that is needful is to connect a number of vacuum valves in multiple with a wireless receiving set, and the thing is done. At the first receiving contact a voice will be-normal. Cur in one vacuum value , and it is rais ed seven times; thereafter it squares itself?seven times seven to forty nine for the next vacuum value, and 49 times 45 for the next, and so on. "I mean volume of sound; not pow er of transmission," explained Lam bert. "In a test recently, a phono graph was connected , with an am p? rier at midnight, and we were lifting it up gradually to supply all San Francisco with song and amusement when the police urged us to desist. "In the stadium at Golden Gate Park the ticking of a watch ? was. made audible all over the grandstand while an athletic meet was in pro gress. Captain Robert W. A. Brewer, an experimenter, moved off 2,000 feet and spoke qiuetly to his dog and the dog couldn't be held. A wireless station which I am not per mitted to name recently received a telephoned mesage f-om Europe, and through its amplifiers startled duck hunters in the marshes eight miles away." Mr. Lambert exhibited one. of the vacuum valves. Its exterior resem bled an ordinary 16-candle electric light bulb . Through the glass, how ever, could be seen electric winding that was dissimilar. Around a fila ment was wound convolutions of wire called a "grid''. Above the grid was an encircling metallic plate. The cur rent, it was explained, passed through each in the order described. The in coming wireless signals travel down the aerial wire to the tuning set and then to the vacuum valve, which is a "detector." or receiver. For practical purposes, the vacuum has its use as in war-ships, where the wireless telephone speaks its message through a horn to several officers, instead of to one using ear pieces. It can be availed of to ad dress audiences. The wireless telephone is wonder fully extending the * field developed by the wireless teegraph. Any wire less telegraph receiving set is equally good for receiving telephoned mess ages. The transmitting instruments, of course, are different. Every airplane possessed by Uncle Sam and all United States warships are equipped with wireless telephone apparatus. These sets on warships are efficient at least twenty miles. Allies Reject Huns9 Proposals ! Suggestions Regarding Sarre Valley Fall on Deaf Ears Paris. May 25 (By the Associated Press)?With the exception of one minor concession, all suggestions and counter proposals by Germany for the j disposition of the Saare basin have i been f-ejected by the reply of the Al | lied and associated powers. Count von Brockdorff-Rantzau's ap peal for an oral discussion of the points at issue on this subject were j ignored. The concession agreed to is that j Germany might create a prior charge I upon her assets or revenues for the j payment of the mines in the Saare re j gion if the plebiscite goes against France. If, however, the sum agreed upon is not paid within a year from the date it is due the reparation com mission shall effect payment upon in structions from the league of nations.

Condition in State and in the I . Belt Very Poor.?Forced I to Replant i . ?-?:? Columbia, May 27.~The cotton crop has been, practically ruined not only in South Carolina but r II over the en . tire cotton belt by the excessive rains j of the past two weeks, according: to I statements given out here yesterday, j The South Carolina Cotton Associa tion issued a statement declaring that }the condition of the crop in this State was the worst in history. The Amer ican Cotton Association, through its president, J. Skottcwe Wannamaker, issued a statement saying that the excessive rains had covered the entire belt and that thousands of acres would have to be replanted while hundreds Of acres had been abanoned for the year by the planters. B. Harris, commissioner of agricul ture for South Carolina, declared yes terday morning that he had never known the condition of cotton to be as^bad in this State at this time of the year as it is now. "And I under stand that the condition of cotton in this State is better than in any other State./' he added. Mr. Harris declar ed the situation critical. "Information received by the Amer ican Cotton Association from over the belt," . said President Wannamaker. "indicates that cotton is rotting very rapidly because of the excessive rain fall of the past two weeks. Hundreds of.acres have been abandoned while thousands of acres will have to be re planted. If the. weather should be fa vorable every day from this on the crop would be the shortest in the his tory of the South any way. If -the unfavorable weather continues, even for only a few days, it is hard to es timate just how short the crop would be?certainly it would be the shortest in the history of the world. "We had reports today from Texas saying that weather conditions in that State were very unfavorable. There has been an excess of rainfall in that State as in practically every other State of the Union.. "I wish to urge the farmers of the South not to sell their cotton at the prevailing prices. There has been some sharp advances during the past two weeks but the market has not anything like reached its summit. ; "Information from most reliable I representatives throughout the cotton j belt shows that the abandonment of cotton acreage on account of shortage in labor and adverse seasons will be ! the greatest on record. In addition to this abandonment of acreage and shortage of labor, the crop is from three to four weeks late, immature land diseased. Information gathered in detail from leading dry goods and manufacturing centers of the world reveal a. startling condition. Europe is in desperate need, of cotton goods. The balance of the world is clamoring for dry goods. The tremendous infla tion in the dollar will also play an j important part in advancing the price ! of cotton, far mo"e than the world realises. "3 predict that raw cotton will bring the highest price paid for it since cot ton was first planted in America. If the farmers will hold their spot cot ton they will reap the reward for which they have been so desperately scrambling. I do not intend to ad vise any one to speculate in cotton but with the information now in my possession and with the facts that are staring us in the face, it seems to me that much higher prices for cotton are an inevitable certainty. "Not only Russia but practically all of the European countries that, con sume cotton are in communication and have been in communication for some time, with the promoters of the cotton export corporation. It has leaked out that thc*se manufacturers are now quietly buying cotton on the exchanges. They have had an under standing with the export corporation that credit will be arranged for and they an- now securing actual spot cotton. They have wisely decided not to delay buying. They realize that the stupendous demand for cotton will force higher prices and make it ex tremely hard to secure anything like sufficient spot cotton to fill their de mand. As they lack funds for buying enough spot cotton they can buy fu ture cotton aim carry it with much .smaller money than the credit can be arranged. They are wisely buying cot ton on the exchanges of America. The 'export demand for cotton will far exceed any record of any previous year since cotton was first planted :n America. "The foreign and domestic demand for Cotton will wipe out every bale of surplus and will go unsatisfied be fore next fall in my opinion. This pre diction is based on facts, in possession of the Anu-riean Cotton Association. "Europe is clamoring for the export corporation recently organized to ar range credits so that she can purchase! cotton to furnish work- for her people and clothes for her suffering citizens"!

Slain While in Small ?b?t in River Macon, May 26.?Rad Jones and John Melton, well known Pike County resiclents, living at Molena, were shot from ambush and killed today while they were in a small boat on the Flint River, according to reports re ceived here tonight.'

Empty shells were found on one bank of the river and the boat, which had drifted half a mile down the river was bloodstained. The sheriff of Pike county said tonight no motive ifor the double killing had been es-, tablished. Jones was 37 years of age and is survived by a wife and six , children.

May 28 (By the Associated Press).?The Italians have effected a further landing of troops at Soki, in Asia Minor, 50 miles southeast of Smyrna. j The Turkish government has pro tested to the peace conference against j the landing.

' < CaB to Form Companies General Moore Starts Machin j ery for Organization of Two BattaKons of National Guard I Columbia, May 27.?^. W. Moore, adjutant general, yesterday directed letters to a number of places in the State, urging that military companies be organized with dispatch for induc j tion into the State National Guard, two battalions of which are to be re organized immediately! The mini mum strength is to be 65 men, and General Moore is urging that as many as 75 men be recruited, as there will doubtless be a number of rejections in each instance. : When authority was granted by the war department several weeks ago to reorganize these two battalions. Gen eral Moore, determined where pos sible to rehabilitate former. National Guard companies and also form com panies in places now where there is no military protection. The places which are to get first choice are An derson, Pelzer, Fort Mill or Rock Hill, Laurons. Camden, Hartsville, Darling ton, Florence or Timmonsville, George town or Walterboro. If these\fail to meet the requirements, o*ther places will be immediately considered. . It will be necessary for these companies to organize for inspection by June 15, and thereby qualify for muster June 30. General Moore and a committee wlil go to Washington probably tomorrow to call on the military affairs com mittee of both houses of congress and also for a conference with the mem bers of the South Carolina delega tion. Capt. W. L. McCutchen. Columbia, May 26, 1919. Mr. Hugh C. Haynsworth, Attorney at Law, Sumter, S. C. In Re: Capt. Wilmot L. McCutch en. Dear Sir: In reply to your letter of some weeks ago with reference to Capt. McCutchen, I am enclosing you herewith copy of a letter written by myself to Mrs. Cooper, sister of Capt. McCutchen. I trust that this will be of some service to you. I understand that Capt. McCutchen is on his way home, so I guess he will be turning up most any time now. You ought to have the brass band out to meet him. he certainly deserves it. With best wishest, I remain, yours very truly, Wm. Anderson Clarkson. May '24th. 1919. With reference to your letter of May 7th in regard to Capt. W. L. Mc Cutchen, I beg leave to submit the following: Capt. McCutchen then Lieutenant joined the Thirtieth Infantry, Third Division during the Spring of 1918, and has been with this unit ever since. After May 191S the Third Division participated in every action of the American army possible without be ing in two at the same time, and Capt. McCutchen did his. part, and more, in each one. He is entitled to wear the four campaign badges assigned to the division, to wit: Aisne-Marne defensive, Marne Champaigne offensive, St. Mihiel of fensive and the Argonne-Meuse of fensive. Not having been in Capt. McCutch en's company. I did not have very much opportunity to know of many particular instances of his gallantry. However, there is one instance which I saw which was typical of his action under fire. It occurred during the Argonne-Meuse battle about October 12th or 13th. and just above Cunel, which you will find on the map to the northeast of Verdun, and just about Mont-fauoun. It was during our participation in this battle. We had lost all of our majors and all of our company commanders within two days after going into action. The reg iment at this time was a mere rem nant, about three or four hundred men out of three thousand, and were then holding a front line section. Col. Hason. then commanding the regi ment, had received orders for with drawal for rest and reorganiza tion, and asked me to carry the or ders to the front line. This was ac complished, but on the way back the Hermans dropped a barrage on the road which we had to traverse. 1 shall never forget the calmness with Capt. McCutchen sustained the bar face, but "Mac" seemed to be oblivious close that the concussion caused by their bursting whipped "Mac's" over coat around his legs as a storm would. ). myself dived into a shell hole, breaking my glasses and scratching my face, but "Mac" seeme dto be oblivion :>f any danger. It never phased him. There are lots of occasions in which rapt. McCutchen did himself credit, but you will have to get him to tell rou about them. He was absolutely fearless and had to be protected from lime to time by his own men. There are no hardships that he did tot bear absolutely philosophically, flis reserve was something marvel dus. It mattered not how long the like or how disturbing the strain of >attle, "Mac" was always there. He was made captain during the .alter part of October for his gal ant ry during the Argonne-Meuse bat le. As soon as it was possible I had ism transferred to my battalion, and le was commanding a company prac irally all the time he was there. I eft Germany the 3rd of April, and at bat time Capt. McCutchen expected u ders to go away at any time. He was one of those men that one s proud to have known, and I want 1 o assure you that the manner inj; vhich he acquitted himself was in-' I leed an honor to the State and to him- i ?elf. ji Paris.

J The Battleship &r^m Warship ^ WoSjKr-: ful Record in Spanish? American War Discarded San Francisco.. May .16.?"Good -bye dear old Orgeon," was the sentiment voiced by hundreds of men, women land children during'the last week ^f' the Victory Liberty Loan campa^ when they visited the .famous old ba?-. tleship for the last time ^s she lay at anchor in San Francisco bay. "With in a few weeks the grim fighter, of nearly a quarter of a century: ago will take her place with the "Consist*-" . tion" in the hearts of the American people; the Orgeon will go.out .of commission and become a memory. A few weeks after the sinking of the battleship Maine" at Havana the -Oregon was in San Francisco harbor when there flashed across the conti nent on March 12, 1898, .from; the navy, department to the Oregon's com mander an order to proceed to Callao ,<Peru> as soon as practicable. On -March 17,- Captain ? Charles; E. Clark assumed command, and two days la ter began the celebrated trip around the "Horn." Captain Clark was not advised' that war had been declared against Spain until his arrival at Rio-Janeiro^ April 30. Great concern was -felt in the United States for the lonely Orgeon as the whereabouts of the Spanish fleet under Admiral Cervera, which had just left the Cape Verde Islands,, was unknown. The nation breathed a sigh of relief when word was received that the Ore-, gon had arrived safely at Jupiter In let, Fla., May 24, after a trip of 14, 000 miles made in 68 days. A few days later she joined Admiral Samp son's fleet off Santiago, Cuba and she participated in the great battle., of Sunday, July - 3. 1898, when Cervera*s fleet was annihilated. The Orgeon* forced the Colon, the last of the-Span ish ships, ashore to her destruction. Subsequently the Oregon steamed from New York to Manila where she. was on duty during the American op erations in the Philippines. Of late years she has been used for a training school for young sailors and has been the feature of many celebrations .-and other events. She was built at the Union Iron Works at San Francisco in 1896 and carried a complement of 34 officers and 671 men. Her displacement was 10,288 tons. Pythian Grand Lodge Col. 0. J.

The enthu siasm of the young men in the world war and their usefulness to their country led the leaders in the Pythian order to start a movement to allow young men 18 years of age to reap the benefits of the order. Aiv*> 3 Lumpkin of Columbia, and the Rev. Louis J. Bristow of Abbeville were elected supreme representatives. Greenville was selected for the next place of meeting. The following offi cers were elected: O. J. Bond, Charleston, grand chan cellor; Finlay Henderson. Aiken, grand vice chancellor; H. C. Till man, Greenwood, grand prelate; C. D.

The installation ceremonies were made memorable last night as the supreme vice chancellor, William La dew of New York, inducted the Py thians into office. The long form team from Jasper Lodge at Charles ton delighted several hundred mem bers of the order last night when they conferred the rank of knight. It was a fitting climax to a day well spent.
