' U MAT AMERICAN DESTROYER IS A DANGEROUS CRAFT "With Depth Bombs Aboard, the Vessel la a Menace to Itself ' as Well as to the U-B oat. On Board an American Destroyer in French Waters, Sept. 30. (Corres pondence of the Associated Press). An American" destroyer with her depth bombs ready to be discharged is in- Ldeed a dangerous craft to monkey with. She is a menace not only to the enemy but to any other craft with which Ishe might collide in the dark ness, running without lights and to herself as well. If one of her depth bombs loaded with its heavy charge of TNT- should be accidentally explod ed there - would be little left of the destroyer. The deadily depth charge which is proving to. be. the .conclusive answer to the submarine menace- is being re leased from every quarter of the de stroyer. . Two of these big cylinders of high explosives can be dropped from the bridge by the pressure of a but ton. Amidships Thornycroft throw ers drop a charge from either side of the destroyer, forming a barrage. "Y-guns" are stationed amidship with two barrels, each of which throws a depth charge one to port end the other to starboard. Finally astern, there are two long lines of , depth charges running on miniature railway tracks, ready to be droped over the stern. ' With all' these" depth bomb charges ready to be let lbose forward,-alt end amidships" a complete1 "enveiopftig "bar rage can be put in operation at any time. With the destroyers complete ly enveloping the transports the wa ter barrage extends its protecting sweep entirely around the fleet.. . Great care' Is teken against any col lisions in the darkness which would release the depth charges. While the shock of a collision would not cause an explosion the depth charge might destroy its own ship by exploding when It reached the depth fixed by the fuse. Such an explosion has actually occurred in one case doing consider able damage but oaucing no fatalities. hThis incident has given warnine of the extreme care needed to guard against the collisions when the fleet is going through the darkness with all lights out. BIG TOBACCO SALES, Wallace Warehouse Overflowed With Weed Prices Higher Than Ever. (Special Star Correspondence.) Wallace, Nov. 10. The tobacco mar kt has rt-opened, in full blast, the first sale since the epidemic, being Wednesday. On this day, both houses had "full floors, as has been' the case the three sale days this week. UVery one is delighted x with prices for in stead of prices being lower when the market' opened this week, as so many were "afraid of, "they had soared higher than at any time this season. The sales aggregated 300,000 pounds,- the average price during the three days, was 42 cents. Neither farmer, buyer nor warehouse man forgets the Red Cross. The boxes are filled each day at both warehouses, the warehousemen - have it properly graded so that it can bring the highest possible price. Thursday and Friday, the warehouses were so crowded with tobacco, it be ing impossible, to secure enough labor to pack, or move to tobacco; that the farmers could not bring their carts into the houses, as heretofore,' and ' wef e" compelled. . to hand . their tobacco through the windows and doors. To enable ' the buyers and warehousemen to get their tobacco off the floors, where it was becoming badly trampled, and to get it packed and shipped before Monday's sales, the Red Cross endeavor ed to assist in relieving the situation. Ladies, representing the Red Cross, as sembled at 2 o'clock, and assisted in "taking up"' and ' packing' piles of the weed: Working, as they did under the diretction .of. the foremen, these helpers accomplished a' great deal. i i " CHANGE IN WAR SITUATION RELIEVES WHEAT CONDITIONS Raleigh, Nov. 10.

Henri Laurens, Amer ican, Comes Home. (Special Star Corespondence.) Charlotte, Nov. 10. Telling a story such as Alexander Dumas would have loved to have written, Capt. Henri Laurens, lately with the French forces on the western front, is in Charlotte, en route to South Carolina, to search for the wife and baby whom he has not seen for 20 years, 16 years of which he spent in a Turkish prison. Captain Laurens was born at Laur ens, S. C, his father being French and his mother a South Carolinian. When he was seven years of age, his family moved to France, and when Captain Laurens became of age, he joined the French army, leaving behind his nineteen-year-old wife and infant daught er. He says his wife told him she would never see him again, but he laughed at her. He was made captain of en gineers and shortly afterward was taken prisoner by the Turks. He spent 16 years in a Turkish prison, un shaven and unshorn, his hair and beard being 34 inches long when he was released in December, 1916. Find ing his country at war, and his family gone to the United States. Captain Laurens again volunteered and served with the French forces until disabled by a boche shell. He was invalided out of the service and .came at op.ee to the United States, where 'he is traveling, seeking his wife and daughter. "Captain Laurens has found one rela tive, Postmaster Thomas Pope , of Greenville, S. C who is a second cousin. He has reason to believe (hat his daughter, who Is about twenty years of age, if alive, is in the south.

EXTEND BAPTIST CAMPAIGN. Owing to "Stamps' 'and the "Flu" Time Limit May Be Changed. (Special Star Correspondence.) Raleigh, Nov. 10. The million-dollar-campaign man recently ran on a stump, shot through the wind-shield of his "run-about," and narrowly es caped with-his life. Such was the pain ful experience of Dr. Livingston T. Mays, of Charlotte, who is working! in the Mecklenburg-Cabarrus associa tion in the interest of the million-dollar campaign for the Baptist schools of the state. Dr.. Mays had started to a saw1 mill to interview a prospective subscriber when his car ran upon the stump, throwing him precipitately through the wind-shield for ten feet or. more. For tunately he escaped without serious injury, though he will bear in his body marks of thef million -dollay campaign for many days to come. , However, the: biggest "stump" in the way of the million-dollar campaign just; now fs the "flu" situation, which, though better in some localities of the state, continues to keep most of the churches closed up. Very effective wo'rk- is being done, however, in some churches .by putting on an intensive personal canvas of the membership. Where this method has been, adopted the churches, have gone far beyond their allotments. In most instances the reports coming into the central of fice have a note of encouragement in them, and those who are in charge of the campaign will press it to a success ful conclusion. ' ... In view of the serious handicap .under whio hthe campaign has been laboring u pto now, it. is quite probable that the time limit in, :which the million dol- lir w'fte to- f e. raised, Decetttber 3, will hAvtani1aai'ihntfi' flr ir waaTth.! ri, ?
