Has Abraham Lincoln spoken to the American people on this war? This is the question suggested by a singular coincidence in the National Capital this week. Dr. John Wesley Hill, chancellor of Lincoln Memorial University, at Cumberland Gap, Tennessee, was in Washington to inspect the new Lincoln Memorial on Potomac Drive for the first time. The university of which Dr. Hill is chancellor was founded at Abraham Lincoln's personal request by General 0. O.

regard to financial circumstances. As chancellor of this institution. Dr. Hill has been chosen to organize and direct the ivork of tho Lincoln Patriotic Army, the big nation wide organization just established to help win the war through the patriotic help of all true American citizens who enlist in it. When Dr. Hill with two United States senators interested in the Lincoln Patriotic Army Ssnator Robert L. Owen, of Oklahoma anti Senator James E. W.-ztson, of Indiana was inspecting the yet uncompleted Lincoln Memorial, Senator Owen happened to point to seme exquisitely chiseled letteri-g on one of the walls when it was found that ths

words to which the OklahoraJM senator had pointed were these: "STRIVE ON TO FINISH THE WORK WE ARE IN: TO ,"'BIND UP THE NATION'S WOUNDS: TO CARE FOR HIM WHO SHALL HAVE FOT1NE THE BATTLE AND FOR HIS WIDOW AND HIS ORPHAN: TO DO ALL WHICH MAY ACHIEVE AND CHERISH A JUST AND LASTING PEACE AMONG OURSELVES AND WITH ALL NATIONS." Some of the more superstitious who heard cf the incident are citinr it as a messapre from the spirit of Abraham Lincoln on the present war.

VESSEL RAMMED AND SUNK; 66 PERSONS LOST

Survivors of the eoastwlse steamer City of Athens, which was sunk in a collision with a French cruiser in a fog off the Delaware coast yesterday morning, with a loss of sixty-six persons, related here today many tales of heroism on the part of the crews of the twa vessels. All praised the efforts cf the French sailors, especially, who launched small boats within a few

minutes after the accident and, aided by the cruiser's searchlights, picked up many of the survivors from pieces of wreckage. The survivors agreed that the speedy sinking of the steamer, within five milutes after being rammed by the warship, was responsible for the heavy toll of life, although some claimed that the City of Athens' life saving apparatus failed to work properly. There were J36 persons, including 24 United States marines on board the steamer, which was bound from New York for Savannah, with a $2,000,000 cargo of cement, rope, foodstuffs and general merchandise on board.

with his aid when the steamer toppled j

and my grasp on the gunwale slipped. I caught up the baby as the ship sank under the swirling waters. When 1 came up choking and almost uncon seious from the water with the little one in my arms, we were directly under the bow of a life boat. "A man whom I afterwards learned was James Wallace, of 221 William street. Savannah, lifted the baby from my arms. When I regained consciousness, I found myself in the life boat covered with a piece of canvass which I wrapped around the baby. My coat and nightgown were torn from me in the struggle to drag me in. After that Wallace rescued one marine and a civilian. That-brave negro deserves a hero's medal. "We were in the life boat for about two hours before we were picked up by the crew of the French cruiser. I cannot speak too highly of the gallantry and kindness of the French officers and men Curing our rescue and the time spent on the cruiser."

Barnard of Indianapolis, federal food administrator for Indiana, who will be In Richmond within a week to preside at a district meeting of county food heads. I. H.

To the Taxpayers of Wayne Township and City of Richmond: I, the undersigned, candidate for Township Assessor of Wayne Township, beg to submit the following for the consideration of the Republican voters at the coming Primary to be held on next Tuesday. I believe that my past experience as deputy assessor of Wayne Township, and as township assessor for a partial term two years past, has fitted and qualified me so that I will be enabled to render more efficient services to the township than could be rendered by those without, or with less practical experience in the work of assessing. The general assessment of all real estate, which is made every four years, and which is of greater importance than the assessment of any other year, will be made next year. As real estate assessments produce about 65 per cent of all taxes in Richmond and Wayne Township, and these assessments must stand for four years without change, the assessment in 1919 is a very important matter, requiring experience, fair dealing, and sound judgment in fixing value of property. It is generally conceded by County Officials that the real estate of the City of Richmond has been, in the main, over assessed as compared with the out townships of the county, and if I am nominated and elected it shall be my constant aim to procure an equitable assessment for the Township, reducing property which is too high, also increasing that which is found to be too low, and in general favoring a reduction for this City, to an equality on real estate of the other Townships. Respectfully submitted, A. D). IBOTTID Republican Candidate for Assessor of Wayne Township
