Louisville, Ky., Sept. 27. South Srn Railway foreign commerce serv ice , headquarters here today an nounced what Was regarded ' as a striking analysis of America's ex port business of principal commodi ties for the first six months of 1921. The announcement, which was made by R. L. McKellar, foreign . freight traffic manager, said that 1,360,440 freight ' cars, each forty - feet long and containing twenty-five tons. would be required to transport the commodities exported, which was placed at 34,011,000 tons, and a train, if the cart were ss assembled, would be 10,306 miles long, or nearly half way around the world. Exports of wheat alone, Mr. Mc- Kellar's figures showed, for. the period were equivalent to 147,865 such carloads or an Increase of' over 165. per cent over last year. Ex ports of corn, it was said, aggre gated (4,679 carloads or an Increase of 671 per-cent as compared with, the same period in 1920. The impetus given the movement of cotton by the recent advance in price, the announcement added, had been subsequent to the compilation of the figures. The movement of this commodity i for the first six months shows a. decrease. BAPTIST HOSPITAL VILL SERVE ALL Rev. J. Clyde Turner Is To Spea,k on the Proposition Here This Evening Rev. J. Clyde turner, pastor of the First Baptist church, of Greens boro, will address the mass meeting of Baptist men of the city and their friends, at the First Baptist church, corner of Second and Church streets, this evening at 7:45 o'clock. Dr. Charles E. Maddrey had ac cepted an invitation to deliver this address, but on account , of an un avoidable situation he has been compelled to cancel the engagement., Mr. Turner Is well known to many in this city as one of the strongest pastors and one of the best speak ers In the Baptist State Convention, and ther committee feels gratified that he has been secured to speak for Dr. Maddrey. While coming un der the auspices of the Baptist Men's Union all men of all Baptist con gregations of the city are urged to hear Mr. Turner tonight. He will discuss the Importance of the Bap tist Hospital as a denominational In stitution, and some Interesting facts will be presented In connection with the hospital to be erected here dur ing the next few months. There will be no soliciting of pledges or collection taken at the meeting this evening! The funds for the building of the hospital here will be raised by a special committee of prominent local business men and citizens, which is now planning : a campaign to be conducted in the near future. Approximately $113, 000 is to be raised for this purpose, and it is Mated that that will be all that will be expected of Winston-Salem as a community. Once the hos pital is constructed and In operation It will become one of the objects of benevolence of the Baptist denomi nation of the state of North Caro lina. It will be supported by the baptists all over the state, Just as they support the Thomasvllle or phanage, and the other Baptist In stitutions and agencies. In other words, the hospital will go into the regular annual budget of the Baptist denomination of the state. This makes it all the mors to the advantage of Winston-Balem to get the hospital, because once It Is es tablished here, It ceases to be a com munity liability, but rather a real community asset , Another consideration Is that the hospital Is not to be denominational In Rs patronage, but Is to serve, up to Its capacity, people of every creed. ' San Pedro, Calif., Sept. 27. Only two men lost their lives when the Submarine R-6 sank In Los Angeles harbor last night. It was officially announced to- -day by Rear Admiral Herman O. Stlckney. commalider of the Pacific fleet train, and an eye witness of part of the disaster. A third man who was missing and who for a time was thought a possible victim of the acci dent has been accounted for, to gether with all other officers and i men of the submarine, Los Angeles, Sept. 27. The crew of the R-6, which sank In the har bor here last evening, consisted of 26 officers and men, two of which are believed to have been last. 1 At midnight no statement had , been made by officials of the navy de partment. As soon as the alarm was sounded search-lights of all ships of the fleet lying at anchor in the harbor were turned on the scene of the disaster. ' According to the Examiner, ex ecutive officers of the submarine base and the Pacific fleet were Im mediately called Into a conference aboard the flagship California. Ad vices regarding the reported sinking were telegraphed to the navy de partment at Washington and prep arations were made for rescue work. Admiral Ebehlee, who at present Is In San Diego, was notified of the accident and It is said he will return immediately to San Pedro this morning to . attend a meeting of a court of inquiry, which wll be held to investigate the alpking of the vessel. . The R-6 was tied Up to the tender Camden when she sank. That the death list was. not larger and that only one submarine was Involved is thought to have been due to the presence of mind of one sailor whose name is not known who It is said when the R-6 began to settle ran up the fore peak and cut the hawsers by which the submarine was moored to the Camden and 0wo other vessels similar to the R-6. Divers are working feverishly in the hope that one sailor who Is thought to have been on the stricken vessel may still be alive in the ves sel which is resting on the harbor floor under 35 feet of water. The belief was expressed that should this man still be in the R-6 he may be alive providing he was successful In closing the compartments Into which the water rushed thru open doors. Searching For Bodies. San Pedro, Cel., Sept. 27. Two submarines from the base here early this morning were searching the' outer harbor in an attempt to lo cate the bodies of the two members of the crew of the R-6 who are be lieved to have drowned when the vessel sank In the harbor last night. An Investigation wll be launched at once to determine the cause of the sinking. y Details of the Accident. Los Angeles, Sept. 27. Lieut. - I. R. -Chambers, who was in command of the submarine R-6, Is reported to have been the last man to make an escape from the craft when It sank late last night in the outer harbor at San Pedro with a reported loss of two members of the crew. After Lieut. Chambers left the submarine he immediately began to aid members of the crew unable to swim to get to life boats and pieces of floating timbers. According to a story told by wit nesses of the accident, who were aboard the tender Camden and the slater ships, the R-6 was tied up at 6 o'clock last night with two haw sers, binding her to three sister ships and two hawsers connecting the string of submarines with the mother ship. Prfor to the disaster the entire crew, It was said, was inside the hull getting torpedoes ready for bat tle practice. Suddenly the rear tor pod o tube apparently yielded to sea pressure and opened. The . vessel began to fill rapidly and the mem bers of the crew rushed for the con ning tower. -- , . One of the first men to reach the outside of the submarine was seen to cut the hawsers releasing the other submarines. Just as the man believed to have been Spaulsberg, who was report ed drowned, reached the conning tower ladder there was what seemed to be a gas explosion and It Is said the man was thrown clear of the tower, a stream of water following him. The man believed to have been J. Dreffen,' reported drowned, never reached the tower ladder. It la said, and he is believed to have gon down with ths boat The R-6 was of the Holland type built In 113. Lieutenants 8. T. Jutt and J. M. Steel- were .Junhtr of ficers. 4 .

PUBLIC DEMONSTRATION HELD LAST WEEK IN VIEtyNA WAS SIGNIFICANT Expressed Approval of -Austrian Movement in Favor of Union With Germany; Col. House Says It Indicates Partial Fail ure of French Policy As To Segregated Parts of Austro Hungarian Empire; Analysis of Situation. (By COU EDWARD M. HOU8B.) ;gpclal to Twin-City JS.ntlnel and Pblt- dlpnia Publlo Ledmr.) " The great public demonstration which was held in Vienna last week to express approval of the movement in favor of union with Oermany Is significant. It indicates the partial failure of the French policy to onng ths segregated parts of the Austro- Hungarlan empire under r rencn in fluence, i The Austrlans, particularly the Viennese, have no love for 'Prussia, the state which always must domi nate any greater Germany, but they are in such financial and Industrial straits that some kind of federation with Germany seems the only way out. ' At one time Austria had high hopes of obtaining financial relief by means of the loan which was planned through the good offices or tne League of Nations. This loan would not, in the opinion of economists familiar with the situation, have realized the hopes anticipated, and the relief brought by it would have been of a temporary character. Nevertheless, the promised help has held In check until now the senti ment in favor of union with Ger many. 1 It is not alone tne hopeless finan cial situation which la stirring Aus tria to action, but there la the further desire to rid herself of the trade restrictions which her neigh bors have thrown around her. To day she has an area about the size of South Carolina and a population of little more than six millions; to morrow, 4f united with Germany she becomes a part of one of the world's potential powers. i After the war and up to the pres ent there has been a movement among many peoples toward segre gation. This has been carried to such a limit that Its. absurdity In many instances) has been recognized, and there has been recently a reac tion and a tendency to swing back in the other . direction. Germany would be willing to accept Austria, but there is not as much eagerness for the union as there would be it Austria were . not almost wholly Catholic In religion, -It would give the already powerful centrum party tn Germany more influence and, with coalition with some of the weaker party groups, It might give them the control of the government. There would- also be difficulties regarding the v questions Of their respective public debts and reparations. France has opposed the Unking of Austria with Germany for obvious reasons. She desires a weaker Ger many, not a stronger one. If Ger many could be segregated Into such parts as existed prior to '71 France would be reassured. As the situa tion now is, France Is looking ' In every possible direction for security. She feels that she either has been or is In process of being deserted by her war allies. She is, therefore, at the moment depending upon her army for present and future protec tion. She also is reaching out tor new allies in eastern and south eastern Europe. She has sought to build a powerful l'olish slate, but has not aa yet succeeded. Poland is showing more vitality than her enemies have predicted, but Poland falls far short of being the ally which France had in the Russia of pre-war days. With the tendency of Germany and Russia to work In understand ing, Poland must always be In a precarious . condition. Those two strong states could crush her almost over night and before France could interfere. Briand's Intention to attend the Washington conference has back of it the hope that France's position may be again in some way straight ened. It is not a reduction of arma ments that he has In mind so much as the security of France. Germany is disarmed as much as she can be, therefore It Is not to bring about a different condition there which brings him to the conference, but it is to seek in some way to make France stronger for the future and to demonstrate to Washington that the French army must remain as powerful as now unless some other security is) given. If France could know that she was safe from German attack the whole European situation would be eased Immediately, but until she has assurances of this nature she will In sist upon maintaining an army large enough to Insure her own safety re gardleos of other considerations.

S.-German Treaty To Come Up at Important Session Which Convened Today Berlin, Sept. 27. Important legis lation awaited action by the relch stag when it reconvened here today, this session of the German parlia ment being considered aa the moet important held since the treaty of Versailles was signed. Ratification of the peace treaty with the United States and a tax measure to bring ordor out of choas prevailing In Ger many's finances were on the calen dar and there threatened to be par tisan acerbities as a rsult vt the as susHination early this month of iMathtas Ersbergor, formerly chan cellor.

They ar moving with them 16 Immense . guns, 3ft tractors and numerous automobiles, motorcycles and trucks. Capt. Htawart states that the first combat train, of which he is com mander, will probably camp tonight near Hanes. Arrangements will likely be mads for the msln body of the troops to camp at the. same place. Capt. Stewart says ths first com bat train la composod Of 130 artil lerymen and 30 engineers, and that their duty is to rs-lnforcs bridges and repair roads for the main body to travel over. Capt. George Gil lette Is In command of the engineers that are planning ths work as they go along. ' Most of the work on the bridges consists of placing wheel treads on the iron bridges and heavy supports under ths wooden ones, After the troops have passed over the rosd the second combat train will come along and remove the ma terial from the bridges and repair ths damage that might be dons to the roads. The damage, says Capt. Stewart, la usually very slight on the roads. A road drag Is a part of the equipment of the second combat train and all ruts and di-ep cut places ars Immediately leveled. Capt. Stewart says that 16 bridges were encountered, between MOcks ville and Winston-Salem, but that ths most of them were found to be In good repair and strong enough to carry the heavy trucks and .other equipment, ' MAINTAINING A STRONG j GUARD AROUND JAIL Scottsboro, Ala., Sept. 27.

Visitors at the capital during the last few day are painting to the Harris appeal ease a sufficient reason for th creation of a state board of pardons that should hear all plea for executive clem ency, entfting this stupendous bur- dsn from the shoulders of the gov ernor, Exoept for the well nigh super human courage displayed by Gover nor Morrison In this latest case It le suggeeted that the condemned man would have been victorious In his appeal for commutation. Similar appeals have been made to other governor and many, many prison ers, convicted of capital offenses, havs been saved from the elsctrle chair to which a jury, a superior court Judge, a majority of the su preme court members and publlo sentiment had decreed they should go In punishment for their crimes. The preaerft governor' action in the Harris case Is a striking exception to the rule. Likewise It Is also refreshing. Nev er has such an a open! for commu tation been made before a governor In recent years.'' Nothing wse over looked by the prisoner's counsel In preparing this most dramatic ap peal. For the condemned man ther appeared In addition to one of the most brilliant criminal lawyera in Western North Carolina, an ex-u perlor court Judge and a former gov. ernor of the state. . It wss not easy to resist the eloquence of this triumvirate. In doing so ths sov- ernor broke all precedent. nut tne envocnies of ths board of pardons make their strongest appeal lor wis new department of state when It Is showed that Governor Morrison, or any chief executive, must go thru do tens of Harris ap peal during his four year in of fice.

Already there are four other first degree murder esse pending and upon which Governor Morrison will b called to decide.
