GERMANS HAVE CONFIDENCE
IN ULTIMATE OUTCOME.
BERLIN, Sept. 19. Members of
the general staff here in private conver
sation have manifested absolute con
fidence In the outcome of the battle
in France, as their own army is stead
ily growing stronger and the lines of
communication have been adjusted to
permit a more efficient supply of pro
visions and ammunition.
The French army, according to offi
cial bulletins, is showing signs of hav
ing shot its bolt and has fought it
self to a standstill, being unable to
fill Its depicted ranks like the Germans
while Germans are slowiy but s::rely
gaining ground In the centre. The
headquarters announcements still give
no definite Information, however, re
garding the position of the battle lin
contenting themselves with speaking
of It generally as located between the
Olse and Muese.
A shower of steel arrows, ro'iased
by French aviators over a mile high
in the alr'iS the most modern terror
of war, according to accounts of Ger
man wounded printed in the Mnulch
Medical Weekly. The arrows are of
presssed steel from 4 to 6 inches long
and a quarter of an Inch In diameter
They have a heavy pointed head and a
skeletonized shaft. The arrows seem
to have caused more surprise than actual
damage. Only one ton was killed
by a head w in the attack describ
ed, the others causing mostly flesh
wounds.

CAPTAIN GODFREY t. CARDEN
TRANSFERRED TO THE
CUTTER MOHAWK.
The following article taken (mm thr
Wilmington Dispatch will be of much
Interest locally on account of the fart
that Captain Carden Is well known in
New Bern:
Capt, Godfrey L. Card en, who has
been In command of the revenue cut
ter Seminole here for aeveral years,
has been transferred U the cutter
Mohawk, a larger vessej, which has
Its station in New York harbor. This
change U in effect now., ( apt. Car
den's successor to the 'command of
the Smlnole has not yet been ap
nounced. The Seminole will probably return
eot Wilmington from Baltimore, where
hs has been undergoing repairs dur
ing the sunmer months, about the
middle of October, said Capt, Carden
who is attending Federal Court here-
Capt. Garden's first duties, as com
mander of the Mohawk will be the
guarding of the Kron Prinzzen Cecelie,
a gold laden German ship in Bar Har
bor, Me., which ran in bo escaj the
British war vessels.
He says the Seminole will be much
better equipped when the. returns to
Wilmington than when it left. En
gines, of a different and a better type,
have been installed. Their average
ment will enlarge the coal bunkers, so
that a great deal more coal can be
carried at one time. The towing facil
ities of the cutter, also, have been
changed, making this work much
easier and safer.
Quarters for a ship's eurgeon, too,
have been installed, and a surgeon
will be added to the official corps of
the cutter. She will be of great as
sistance in many cases of rescue at
sea and in a number of other ways.
The gymnasium outfit which was
presented to the Seminole boys by
Lloyd's, London, for the vallianl res
cue of a British ship, has been held up
at Spauhling's factory during the sum
mer, but will be shipped to Wilming
ton within a few weeks.

Wiistead attacked Miss Nannie

Both defendants submitted, and
the case did not go to the jury. There
was no argument In the case, and
only one witness. Officer Bartholo
mew of the local police force, who
was one of the offixers who took the
negroes to raleigh on the night
following the attempted assault, went
on the stand and told of the confess
ion of Winstead, and the case was
not pressed further.
A few hours after the boys had
attempted their crime, both were
taken by the officers, and were
brought to this cltyf Ihey were
placed in the local jail, but later in
the evening, the local police heard
rumors that ther might be danger
from a mob which it was said was
forming, and beforf anything could
be done, or a crowd collected to
gether, the boy. were hurried away
to the State's prison at raleigh
for safe keeping. They were there
until Thursday, when officers took
them to Tarboro for the trt.it.

FALL OF LEMBERG
ENGLISH ENGINEER DECLARES
APPROACH OF RUSSIAN
ARMY CAUSED PANIC.
LONDON, Sept. 19 An account
of the capture of l.emberg, Calieia, at
lven by an English engineer who has
arrived In Petrograd from Lembergis
.ontained in a dispatch to the Cen
tral News from its Petrograd corres
pondent.
"Panic broke out in the city at the
approach of the Russian army," the
engineer is quoted as saying. "The
entire Austrian administration fled.
No. defence was attempted. The Rus
sians gave the demoralized Austrian
military authorities three days to
evacuate the city.
"On the third day as the appointed
time approached, Russian scout aero
planes appeared over the city, watch
ing for the departure of the Austrians
when the Austrians failed to leave the
Russians made a show of opening a
bombardment. Although no shells
actually fell in Lemberg the cannon
uling terrified the citizens, of whom
.15,000 bolted into the surrounding
country.
"The large Jewish community was
particularly alarmed, owing to stories
in Austrian newspapers. Bankers
emptied their vaults and made their
escape with the money. Nobody was
allowed to leave for Vienna by train
unless they deposited 5,000 kronen at
the railway station to show their abil
ity to meet the enormously Increased
expense of living in the capital.
"Among the pitiful sights in Lem
berg were numerous Austrian soldiers
begging in the streets for bread. Many
were seriously wounded. Other Aus-
traln soldiers were seen carrying their
uniforms under their arms in bundles,
which they declared they were about
to burn.
"The utter disorganization of the
Austrian military administration is
evident. The army proved itself an
unwilling mass of men, of which large
numbers were delighted to throw down
their arms to the Russians.
"Exemplary order was established
In Lemberg under Russian control."

Gil STORY
TUG ISDAL1ED
BY GOIPOO
URING OF BIG GUNS QN TEXAS
ALMOST PUTS ALICE OUT
OF COMMISSION.
NORFOLK, Sept. 18. When the
naval tug Alice, which accompanied
the battleship Texas up Chesapeake
Bay, returned to the navy yard she
looked as if she had been fired on by
the big ship. Her bulkheads were
buckled, the glass in her pilot-house
was smashed and their drinking glasses
on board. Her seams also opened on
the wsy back to the yard.
The Alice was lying alongside the
Texas when the big ship fired her
fourteen-inch guns off Tanglers Sound.
The big guns, the first lime they were
given a thorough test, were fired di
rectly over the Alice, and the concus
sion was so great, the smaller craft
came near being seriously damaged.
The Alice encountered severe storms
on the way back to Norfolk and her
seams opened. She is supposed to
have been so badly shaken up by the
concuslon of the Texas' guns, that
her hull was damaged and she was in
no condition to weather the storm.
The tug Hercules blew out a cylinder-head
and the Massasoit struck a
submerged log In the Elizabeth river.
This series of accidents practically put
the entire fleet of naval tugs out of
commission and the government Was
forced to seek help from the out
side. " ''
The Clark Towboat Company char
tered two of Its tugs to the government
and they are now doing the work here
tofore performed by the naval tugs.
The battleships Rhode Island, Flor
ida, Texas and Minnesota despite a
severe northeast storm on the' outside
are engaged in target practice off the
Virginis Capes The ships ' will be
joined by the Maine, Missouri, and
Prairie which arrived in Hampton
Roads yesterday.
The battleship Wyoming which will
today become the flagship of the At
lantic fleet under the command of
Rear Admiral Fletcher, will fire at
the sunken bulk of the old battleship
San Marcos in Chesapeake Bay next
weeir The Wyoming is now at New
York.

that he was in the office of the South

from alongside the pier. He rushe
outside and saw the man paddling at
a lively rate in the water trying to
keep himself afloat. The rnan wat
