ACKEKMAN, ; (United Press Staff Correspondent) "With General Von Linsingen's Ar mies on the Russian Fronts Aug. 20. (By Mail) Germany has - added flying whales to her other war won ders of the air? ; - ' A hundred yards away these new aeroplanes look like gigantic fish with double fine which have flopped out of the water and lie stranded on their bellies on the sand. They have four big eyes on each side. High in the air they are the most startling creatures I have seen on any -front They look like the fly ing fish one sees on the ocean, many times magnified. On close examination you discover an . aeroplane standing about eight feet from the ground The wings are those of an ordinary aeroplane, but the bodies are shaped like a fat fish. GERMANY-SiWAR MENAGERIE APED AEROPLANES No Movement From Camp Glenn Today Fitting Out Soldiers With Cold ; Weather Duds Furlough for Few Infantrymen There will be, no movement of sol- di'crs ; from Camp Clcnn today. That . much Is reported on pretty good au thority. ' The sanitary troops, includ ing an ambulance company with i big equipment, and a'( full field hos pital company, to use the first train oii't, and tho First infantry, to be the first line outfit to move, are ready to entrain at a minute's notice. ,. Their paraphernalia is already on the cars, i Fitting out of the men with win-ter-weiglit clothing is holding up the men. That is a big ' task' for the quartermaster force at the reserva tion. Some of the clothing has not arrived from the Philadelphia supply depot, and it is generally believed at Camp Clcnn now that it will be Sun day before the movement toward the iborder begins. . The Second infantry, In which Kinston is most interested, probably won't get away before Mon day afternoon or Tuesday morning. It Is hoped that, since the regiment is coming through this ; city, that the Second will move by daylight. iSsveral members of the, First and Second infantries are spending short furloughs here. Assistant Band Lead er Joseph Ballard- and Cook Oscar Palmer of the headquarters compa y, Second, are among the number. ACCUSED of murder; ; ; FIVE INMATES HOME Hartford, Conn., Sept 21.Mrs. Amy E.

BUSINESS SECTION , HIDDENITE BURNED ' Statesville, Sept. Tha main business portion of Hiddcnito , was destroyed by fire which originated in the boiler room of J. C, Thomas' roller and planlrg mill at 4:30 this afternoon., The total" loss is estimat ed" at' $40,000. LATEST ADDITION TO ; GIANT HSH- 0 The motor is enclosed in the head and at the sides, where the eyes of the ' fish would be, are two windows. The opfratdr or observer can .look out ffom above the fish's back, or from the sides,' through the .eyea, '.. (The cerisors' scissors bad detect ed a paragraph at this point, possi bly carrying more details of the aero plane's construction.) ; .. , These flying, whales have greater spe,ed, more bomb-carryiny capacity and quicker action than any other bi planes in Europe, officers at the Ger man -aviation carcp told us. The one I saw was not large. The Germans have other aeroplanes much larger, equipped with two motors and carry ing three or ftfur porsoijs, but for purposes of .combat the "flying whales" cannot be equalled, even by the famous French Nieuport ma chines. , UNEQUALLED Remarkable Success of Rev. W. M. Craig in Short Se :. ries of Services at Camp , Glenn Moral Standard Superb,' Declares - . Rev. W, Marshall Craig', tho young pastor of tho First Baptist church in this city, during the three nights end irig Wednesday night secured no loss than 200 conversions the estimate, is Mr Craig's of soldiers in the Y M. C. A. at Camp , Glenn. Mr, Craig, ack -from tha reservation, Thursday evening, told about the ser vices and the ' sincerity of the men. Hundreds of.v those fellows, bout to leave for El 'Paso, and 'possibly to back" of Villa, attended the services, Hundreds raised their hands in prom ise that they would try to make their spiritual lives better; and, look ifig;out over the small sea- of sol dier faces, serious young Mr. Craij saw' nothing but the, seriousness there which did his Wart good.'Thoi when the time came for converts to announce, no less than ten score showed up. It was a wonderful and a-trulj beautiful spectacle for tha preacher, for Mr, Craig knew he wishes all the mothers and fathers of the young chaps down there knew it, he pays that amongst that 3,000 enlisted men thtre is more moml purity than there is ift any ton thous and youths in civilized life. ' The physical standard of the North Ca'ralina soldiers is splendid. Thero is rot a -bit' of doubt that' the brigade will prove' a ' revelation ' to the othn soldiers in 'Texas, At the call .'for service they were uibove the average in the country, and' threemonths of life under ideal conditions, with none of 'the alleged harrowing heat ard hard work that those already at die border have experienced, . has made them a lot. of male beauties in U army uniform. Mr. Craig thinks they are fine ' physically, ' but their moral standard that is what ha is irt testacies over -"is nearly superb!" There was' nothing iat all" spectacular about the services in the Y. M. C. A.' tent,: None of .the ordinary meth ods of persuasion were employed. That wouldn't havs ; "gone" with . tjie men, anyway. They were simply told jomo truths and, listening atten tively, more orderly and more inter, ested than any congregation in civil life,' decided to "come across." The chaplains took their names. Mr. Craig, three hoars from Camp Glenn, feel very ! confident J that practically the' . last man will! make good his promise. " He knows his men. accident to train on a,c;lnemigrker An A. C.

The front truck af the outbound train left the track, turning partly around under - the Iocojiotive, and bumped over the crossties for a dis tance of about 200 yards, tearing up rails and ties.
