Ferdinand replied that the witfr" draws! of Bulgarian troops from tb* Grecian frontier would invite Imme diate attacks from Salonika. He promised, however, to submit thr appeal of the Teutonic power* to the Bulgarian staff.

CARR SENT TO PRESIDENT WILSON Washington, July 11. ? If the law yers of North Carolina have any In fluence with political affairs in Washington James O. Carr, of Wil mington is going to be named dis trict attorney for the eMtern district of North Carolina. No candidate for offlce hae ever received a stronger indorsement than has Mr. Carr, uor has any other candidate been able to enlist the support of such an ar ray of prominent men. it Is conservatively estimated not less than 1,000 letters and telegrams are already flladjrlth igjl. son Indorsing' tne Wlfiulngton man. As each letter and telegram is Bent ( to the President, copies are mailed to Senator Overman, and. It Is pre sumed, to Senator Simmons also. 8ome of these letters have as many as 30 signatures and few of them have less than five or six. They come from all sections of the slate and show that the state bar la prac tically unanimous for Mr. Carr. Poli tical lines, apparently, are to be | eliminated In this fight, so far as - these petitions are concerned, for among the names signed to many of tho letters are noted Republicans, as well as Democrats. While It Is understood that some letters of indorsement are being pre pared In favor of E. F. .Aydlett. of Elisabeth City, there does not seem to be the remotest possibility of any one receiving noar so many as are already In the hands of President Wilson favoring the Wilmington law yer. It Is apparent that the legal fra ternity of the-stfte have either over looked the faet that Collector J. W. Bailey of Raleigh has been mention ed for the place or they do not fig ure him in the running. So far as can be learned In Washington, not a single letter of Indorsement by the lawyers Of the state hss been filed for the Raleigh collector. It Is ap? parent, too, that the lawyers want the district attorney's place to go to a man who is following the profes sion solely as a livelihood. frere are some of the lawyers who] have asked President Wilson to -name Mr. CJarr: Judge W. R. Allen, of Ooldsboro, personat friend of Sen ator Simmons and three times men tioned as a possible candidate for tho Supreme court of the United States.

Id the ftfrui an arc f round the anchor" choeks. I J?jH?Pr periscope was drawn well In st<ie Iczj before she sighted land. But her mast for lights, which she carries Just behind the superstruc ture, sticks up some fifteen feet above the deck for protection of the crew. This rail, which was never aeon o* a war submarine, runs dear around her. Her deckhouse, too. does not remind so much of the deck house of the Monitor of Civil War fame an is the case with the German war submarines. It Is more like the bridge of an ocean liner. 0RO8SED ATLANTIC IN SIXTEEN DA ?8. Prom the superstructure to the bow ? a distance of about 160 feet ? the deck slopes down sharply. The bow itself is very sharp. The slope of the deck toward the stern is much more gentle; she has a speed of twelve knots, and, heavily laden as ?he Is, with her 1.000-ton cargo, she made the trip In sixteen days having left her German port on June 23. The most interesting ^art of the boat is the periscope. When It Is raised, from Its top dowif to the top of the conning tower is a distance Df some twenty feet. That is the din Lance that this new and defenseless typw-of submarine can duck under water to avoid Its enemies, without toing totally blind. The "recleving end" of the peris cope Is In the conning tower, which ?ooks very email from the outside, but. once you are inside of It. It teems to be large enough to hold five 'lien. The eye-pieces themselves, projecting, dark and gltanilng, from :he spotlessly white cylinder, look like guns trained on you to keep you out of this holy of holles'of the sub marine. Close to each of them Is the elec tric motor used to revolvo it ? for, flimsy as a periscope secma to the eye. It Is heavy enough and tightly fastened so as to look unflinchingly in the desired direction. TORPEDO TL'IIKS ENTIRELY LACKING. % The room below the conning tower ? the navigating room ? Is quite as full of a wilderness of complicated apparatus aa that In the ordinary German U-boat ? except for one thing: The "nest" is lacking. The "neat" is the cradle In which the torpedo#* sweetly repose, while wait ing to be rudely awakened and sent Bplmlng on their deadly errand. This room Is where the steering Is done when the submarine Is running submerged. The room back of the engine room is larger and more com plicated. Here are two rows of the famous Diesel engine**, which run the submarine on the surface. "It Is due to these engines that there is so much profit in each trip of a merchant submarine," It was said. 'JU we had to use petrol (gas oline), wflh the present scarcity of that product In Germany, oaeh trip would come very high, but the only ruel necessnry for these motors is the heavy oil which is a by-product of the works where we manufacture coal gas and of our oil refineries." In this room is a clutch ? which' to the Inexperienced eye looks like any other clutch. But when It Is explained to yeu, you realise that It | In a thins of romance ? a tiling with out which America could not have been discovered by the submarine iVrote. M A In' MIOFITAIJLK BV CHEAP KURI,. The no-called "accumulatorR." by ? which the submarine is driven when undei the water, have only enough tflectrlc energy to send the boat ahead for ten hours or no at top ?peed. But. thanks to this clutch, these accumulators can bo recharg ed by being joined up with the oil engine*. This oan be done when the submarine Is on the iiurface. In this way It la possible to keep the energy in tbeee eiectrtc batterlea which the submarine needs whenever It wishes to travel Incog. The most distinctly,* feature about J he boat Is the Ihsence of jorpedo tub** myd*? trp* of armed Qefinja sutyinarlne has torpedo tobea not onlr *0*r the bow. but also In the more recent models, the stem ??d at the bridge. Tbeee are com PletAlr absent from this merrhtai submarine, making clear its owner*' contention that it is a bona fide mer chant ship, and not merely a warship temporarily converted to use as ? carrier. Nor do yon stub your toe on the ugly Utile hummock on deck which marks the place where the disap pearing gun of the old-fashioned type of Ocrman naval submarines la concealed or, to be accurate, pro tected for the hummock prevented real concealment. NO MAGAZINE FOR RRRERVE OF MISSUSES. The more modern German subma rines are provided with tbree-and-a half-lnch guns, such a? the German destroyers use. snd these are kept well under cover below hatches that are flush with the deck. But this boat has no such gun. nor any ram on which It could be raised to posi tion or any compressed air apparatUH that could do the work of raising. In the interior you also miss all the mechanism and tackle used for firing torpedoes, the breech blocks for loading, the reservoirs of com pressed air, which give the torpe does their sendoff, the valves and wheels which control them. You also look In vain for the mag azines with reserve Hupply of torpe does. The most recent type of sub marine they had when I left Ger many a few months ago was able to fafrrf twenty reserve torpedoes* with out too much difficulty. But here the spaces that would have been occupied by those swift and ratal mechanical fishes with their deadly cargo of trlnltroltoluene ? Affectionately known as "T N T" ? are filled with dyes -to gladden the hearts of those who promenade on Fifth avenue, and put the color back Into American life, of which the war has robbed. LACK OF SPACE 18 CHIEF INCONVENIENCE. The men who scr\^? under this modern discoverer of America. Cap tain Kalrig. did not mutiny aa those others did four centuries ago. Yet in some ways they had a more try ing time than their forerunners of the days before Diesel engines were invented. The lack of space was the chief inconvenience. Every available nook and cranny had to be used for the cargo. But this was largely off set by the fact that the boat ran above water much of the way. And even under water they did not suffer from that worst inconven ience of a submarine crew ? bad air. According to those Interested in the project, particular efforts were made In the construction of these merchant boats to Insure the very best possi- 1 ble air supply. A stay of two full days beneath the surface doeB not | Inconvenience the lungs or heart of , the crew In the slightest. The used up oxygen In the air is restored by means of chemicals. And as to the hot, fetid air. which the engine room carries down with It when the boat dives below the surface, this in led out through pipes put through a cooling and purifying process, and led back again "as good as new." Water had to be drunk a little sparingly, since there was no appn rains on board for the distilling of | fresh wster from salt water, but" thore was plenty of hot food. I Had there been a sudden inrush of water from a leak, or a tearing (of the hull, the men were ready to make a dash for their emergency ! hits. You put them on the wsy you do a coat and fasten a respirator? a fairly complicated apparatus, which Is connected with a breathing bag carried on the back ? over the mouth and nose. If you sneceed In getting out the buoyancy of the swimming coat car ries you to the surface.
