"The Germa.i guilt m double," said Frost to-day. "In the first, place, no civilized government would have re torted to such method-, even when it was possible to ink ships or; i ionally without murdering non-combatants. Now that arming of merchant ships and the effectiveness of the pain I makes it impossible for the subma rines to risk giving warning, they would drop it if they were white." Call* Murder by Real Name. The sporting world he u « explains the soil of man Frost is. Born hack in Oberlin, Ohio, his life has been that of the sturdy young American who m-ikes his way m the world by hard work and lighting fan. It is not atrange that he hi no use fur the nophistrles tf "frightfulnc s".—and calls murder by i. real name. Now that the -u >ma.r r have bee.i driven to attaack ships ubmerged using the torpedo almost exclusively —the murder roll is pound to grow, Frost explained. Most hips when struck by a torpedo, go uown in two or three minuses, which Rives no op portunities of escape to those below decks. Recent sinkings which came under his observation, since the beginning of the ruthless warfare, shuw this con clusively. A freighter loaded with iron ore and convoyed by a destroyer went down in two minutes. Kightcen of her crew of iJii perished. Another »unk in two minutes after being struck. She was hit in day light but *ubmartlie «n. nut seen. Twenty-eight of her crew of 82 por apots or by more than one torpedo.

Maay of them were never picked up. The men probably went mad and leaped into the mm. In the v a >e of the Cairnhiil, a British freight* it, with a new of lw men. five of \ hom were American., the German deliberately gutted the lifeboat, took the provisions which the men had placed in the boat and tnrew them into the sea, emptied the water ketf of fit h water and to make their joke complete filled it with salt water. The boats sails were taken off and that wa practically the only hope of KtltinK to land if the wind were favor able. She was attacked 150 miles out at sea. 1 While the Germans were indul^rin^ in tht e pranks with the lifeboat a party wa wrecking the ship and the men were kept standing on the dei k of the submarine.

The Germans overplayed this little drama of frightfulness, as they used up a whole hour in preparing the life 1 boat as a torture chamber for the niei I ■ who were to he set adrift In it. A de : stroyer smoke was seen on the horiior and the Germans made haste to dive Mattewson was thrust t?irou|(h th< hatchway and the submarine divei with the lti men still standing on hei deck.

Monroe, June 16.—John Medlin, a white farmer living on the Kaziah place four miles from Monroe, on the ! Concord road, was taken from his | I home at 11 o'clock last night and I soundly whipped by a (fathering of ! men. It is alleged Medlin so severely | whipped a stepson a week ago that he 'died Friday morning, June 8, and the whipping war the outcome. An investigation was made by the hei iff at the time of the w hipping of the boy, and it W'U - v, alleged that Medlin struck the 12 year old rhild with a singletree from a plow and kicked him in the stomach. It is now proposed to have the body ex humed and an investigation made by the coroner and the county physician.
