President Wilson's reply to the Ger man note could bsrdly have been more moderate and restrained without surrendering the American contention in this controversy, says the New York World in ons ot the clesrest cut discussion of the note we have read. Continuing the World says: in the main the note ls a reitera tion ot the principles ot international law .and the code of humanity which the president defined snd upheld In the note of May 18. The United States stands where it stood in the original protest of Feb. 10 against the German war-zone proc amatlon, and in Its refusal to rec ognise the lawless privileges which the Germen government attempted to usurp for Itself on the high sess at the expense of neutral lives, neutral property and the accepted rules of civilized warfare. What ls added to the original statement of the American position ls In the way of elaboration ead amplification of principles hither to unquestioned among civilized na tions. The only respect in which the note la unyielding is In the fins! declara tion that "the government of the Unit ed States.deems lt reasonabe to ex pect that the Imperial German gov ernment will adopt the measures neces sary to put these principles Into prac tica in respect to the safeguarding ot American lives and American ships, .and asks tor assurances that this will be done." Even b*n? the language ls at >>ie vsry least as restrained as in the orig).-al war-zone note holding Germany to "a strict accountability." It Ir even more restrained than In thc note of May 18, In which Germany was warned that the United States would omit no word or act necessary to maintain the rights of its citizens on the high seas. lt is apparent that the president ls determined to give (Germany every chance to put herself in accord with the practices of civilised warfare and to make ft as easy as possible for the German government to accede to the demands of the United Slates govern ment. No conscience less sensitive than that -of Williams J. Bryan-and there ara no such sensitive consciences tn Germany, or. Indeed, in Europe could possibly be shocked by the pres ident* language or by the tone of bis repy. Had lt not been for the mad performance of Mr Byran In suddenly deciding to create a new heaven and a now earth in International affairs hy bia personal Hat. we think the note, on tho whole, would have been a dis appointment to a majority of the Am erican people. They would have ex perted a harder and a lens concilia tory answer to German? ; quibbling and unsatisfactory reply tn the pres ident's note of May 13. lt Is doubtless well, nevertheless, ?hat the note errs on the side of mod eration. This in particularly fortun Hte in view of the sorry performance of Mr. Bryan The president has al ready stated the American attitude as clearly as words could s'ate lt. Any i renforcement of his previous derla ratlons would have been nothing ?hort of an ultimatum. He ha? therefor?' content-d himself with reaffirming his previous statements in terms that are both courteous and conciliatory. lt I* even a question whether be has nol been at such pains to give the (ier man government a chance to ??ave Us face Ihnt his self restraint will be mis interpreted by the blundering diplo macy of Berlin. Yet the attitude of the American people. In their un swerving Bupffort! of tho; president, should no longer be a matter of doubt In German official circles despite the finticB of Mr. Bryan. Be that an lt may. the president shows himself an enlightened states man eager to find a pacific solution tn the problem If auch & Boluttoa can be found without sacrificing principles that are vital nol only to the Untied Statet but to every neutral nation whese citizens and whose z*\i\i* sall thc high seas. As for Mr. Bryan's conduct in this matter, who do not think there ls any sand American citizen who will hav difficulty in choosing between the di plomacy denned in Mr. Wilson's note and the diplomacy defined in Mr. Bry an's simultaneous answer to that note. Mr. Bryan's statement has all the frenzy and fervor of a page from thc Book of Mormon. It is the lucubration of a religious mystic who ls preaching a gospel which he can not elucida!o but which he knows bas stirred all his emotions to tho depths. It has nothing to io, wtjjh govern ment or with i uternational law or vi* h a nation's duties toward Its Unarmed and defenseless citizens, lt hss noth ing to do with anything except the vague yearnings of Mr. Bryan's soul, which Is throbbing In response to his conception of the mllenntum.. Tho president of the United States has nothing to do with religious ecs tasy. He is dealing with concrete con ditions and concrete principles, 'thc principles which he IB now maintain ing, firmly but' with peaceable inten tions, relate to Inalienable rights rf the United States which have been so grossly violated by Germany's abai ? donment of law and resort to anarchy. A Rome dispatch says It has become known there that the- Nobel peace prize will be bestowed upon Pope B?. J edlct XV. With due respect to the Pope, we think W. J. Bryan deserves that trophy. ?O' ? ?

Now York Evening Por.t: Today, more ti an ever, the nation looks to President Wilson with serene confi dence that he will n?und firm in up holding i'n rights, which aro the rights nf all neutral nations and the rights of humanity. Today, moro than ever, he muEt feel the full weight of that | niitjhty trust which has been reposed upon him. And In going forward in hts momentous task he may unhesi tatingly rest tn the assurance that, st ron? SB once In the rectitude of hts purpose and In the clearness of his vlsliui, MS hand ; will be upheld by the unllinch.uc t.upport of a great people, whose cenfidenco he commands in an extraordinary measure, without dis tinction o? party, class or section. Mr. Bryan's Offence. New York Herald: It is unfortunate that there should have been a dlvslon in the cabinet. It is unfortunate that Mr. Bryan should have abandoned tile president at the time when every con sideration of loyalty and national wel fare demanded his unswerving suport of the president. It ls unfortunate that he should seek to prejudice the popular mind against the president's note t? Germany before that note has been made public. It is unfortunate that he Bhould ride with Germany against the United States on a question In which the Interests not only of the United States, but of all other neu trals, are vital: It ls unfortunate that he would rather allow toe whole fabric of International law to be swept away than help to defend it against ansrehy. It ls unfortunate that he Bhould have seen flt to strengthen the hand of the German government against President Wilson. But these are matters which we must leave to Mr. Bryan's con science artd tho erdlct of history. Hia conduct is Impotent for harm If the American people stand behind the president. If they do not Btand behind him loyally and ungrudgingly in this crisis, they deserve whatever measure ot misfortune may overtake them or overwhelm them. Tho Issue 1? in their hands. A Weak Statement. New York Journal of Commerce: Mr. Bryan does not better his case by hit farewell explanation ot his reason for resigning his office of secretary of state, for which he has shown himsell to be condplcuou8ly unfit. It ls In ef fect a virtual "give away" of the case of the government and acceptances o', that of Germany. ?Ro?dng tho Boat.* Baltimore Sun: Mr. Bryan "rocks the b.iat" In the u.idst of the rapids. That IT? the only practical effect of his resignstion at thin time, whatever we may think of the correctness of his views on the note to Germany, of his reasons for retiring. The "rock ing" ls all tho more mischievous td the cause of peace and tho welfare of the United States. If, as ho indicates. Mr. Bryan will now try to bring pop ular pressure on the administration to adopt his views by stumping the country. Bryan Cannot Succeed. PhilsJelphla Record: Mr. Bryan can not succeed. Every man of honor, every man who loves his country will stand by hi" government when the Issues are orawn between ii and a foreign power. His private scruples may keep him silent, but 'ils honor will not permit him to attack- bte govern ment or serve the Interests of a for eign nation. Clarifies tbTiltaatJea.

There ls no need or place for further inquiry, and the only question is that of due reparation and assurance that these murderous practices will not be continued. Waited Too long. Chattanooga Dally Times: Mr. Bry an, as a man of "peace at any price.'.' bas a Tight to his opinion, of course, but his later excuse for hts action very properly raises the question of why he uni not do what he did tlo loni; before he did it. If Mr. Bryan's resignation does not have thc effect of ?lecelving the German government into believ ing that we as a nation are divided in sentiment and are not prepared to give the president whole-hearted support, he will be forgiven for the untimeli ness of l is action because of the gen eral satisfaction lt has given to the conntry and the relief from embarrasc ment his attitudes have been giving the administration . If he had only resigned before this critical Juncture he might have received widespread and grateful commendation from all quarters. The President Right. New York Evening Sun: The pres ident is right. He har been right throughout this entire difficulty. He has said or done nothing that sane and temperate men may not approve and assist with clean conscience and pure hoart. Today more than ever lt la the duty of all to show that he truly represents the people of the United States tn the position which he has tsken up and that they will back Mm up In it to the last extremity. America's Attitude. New York Pr?ss: As for the phras ing of the note Itself Mr. Wilson, ls not, and is incapabe of pretending to bo. truculent. Hen can Insult no Prussian sense of pride and outrage no Ger man passion of honor. It is not of his training, and it la still less of his na ture, to say in a conventional commu nication of diplomacy anything to cut a supposedly friendly government to the raw and to arouse a valorous peo ple to frenzy. But with this nation massed almost to a man at his back in the unyielding demand to no more of our people be made the victims ot submarine piracy. Mr. Wilson can not have failed to drive home to the mind of official Berlin the deep and lasting conviction that the American position shall no longer be dened, no tonger be Ignored, no logner be^trlfied with. That ls all Berlin wants tb*know: lt la alt Berlin hag ever wanted to know. A Recipe For Cooling Off The hot blaze of the sun should make you think of other things besides tall, frosty glassware.

We notice from the Anderson Intel ligence that one of the banks of An derson-the Farmers and Merchants has offered to lend money to young men on easy terms and long time snd at a low cost of interest to encourage the young men of the county to raise hogB. The money ls to be used in the purchase of hogs to begin the raising and the bank will lend money on the Ramo termB to young fanners who are willing; to engage In cattle raising. We take it for granted also that the bank will let this money to the young men without endorsement and without a long string of mortgages because otherwise it would not be of much help. It ls to be loaned on the per sonal Integrity and manhood of the young men who are to engage in hog and cattle raising and tor the pur pose of encouraging such industries. Thal 1s the spirit our money Insti tutions should exhibit. It is worth more to the county and the building of the farms than supervisors and agents of any or all sorts. In addi tion to the .financial help and the en '-."'.ragement which lt gives to the ? ?ung farmers of Anderson county, there ls another side to the proposi tion if lt ls as we understand lt, that the money ts loaned on the individual integrity of the young farmer. It will give him to understand that his in dividual integrity and manhood is an asset and a valuable one and that ls a lesson he should learn early In life and it will be worth much alawsy We have gone so far in the direction ot not being willing to trust any one that the idea is prevalent that the only thing that counts is matarla'-money or its equivalent. Hers ls the proposition of this bank and the plan ls worth while consid ering by other financial institutions. It is better than prizes or gifts. It helps the young man to start and gives him encouragement and oppor tunity. That ia what we need, encour agement and opportunity. "In ore* *r to encourage hog raising In Anderson county. The Farmers and Merchante bank will be pleased to loan money to young farmer boys to buy a pair of hogs of good strain of blood and In this way enable you to make a beginning at raising hogs. We will also be glad to aid you In getting cattle pf good -stock to raise from. We will also aid you as far as we can in finding and purchasing the hogs and cattle. We will loan you this money kt a very moderate rate of interest. The business If properly looked after will be self-sustaining in a little while snd then will become a source of profit." x The Farmers and Merchants bank of Anderson doesn't know that The Herald and News is going to mention this plan. We notice the cashier ls ? Mr. Brownlee. He ls going along the right line. (Rock HUI Herald.) A bank In Anderson will loan money to the farmers ot that county with which to boy Improved breeds of hogs. Perhaps this bank 1s not giving an Im itation of the business methods of F.jck Hill InsUtuUons, bat lt ls work ing along the right line. The banks have for years loaned the farmers money with which to make cotton. It ls certainly as safe business pro position to loan an Intelligent tarm -? money to Invest In hogs. It the Nrmer knows how to handle them he will make more money out ot hog raining than out of cotton groking. Tnere ara. as a matter or fact, thous ands of farmers in South Carolina who, do not understand bog raising, bat Otisy caa learn, and now is the tune to begin. HEALTK SAVE THE BABIES DURIN Written Especially for The Inte The hot weather at this season of the year . is extremely dangerous to the lives of infants and young chil dren, not only because of the depress ing effect of the high temperature and lowered resistance caused thereby, hui more especially because bf the effect of hot weather upon all perishable food producta, of which cow's milk bolds first plsce. It is. therefore, highly important that all cow's milk used for feeding the babies be the purest and freshest you can afford to buy. During the summer months it ls necessary that and ice box be pr?vido*! which is to be wellf)Ued with Ice each day. As soon as the milk comes from the cow it should be placed next to the the ice and kept cool until fed to the baby. I must reiterate what was ssid in a former article and that is: Do not at tempt feeding cow's milk during the hot season unless you can afford to keep ice. Hot milk will allow pois onous bacteria to multiply by the mil lions and these will sooner or later cause the baby to get sick.A little' money spent for ice may prevent ill ness and the much greater expense for medicine, doctors and nurses. As water ls a carrier ot disease, lt is safest to use only bolled water for drinking and preparation of the baby's food. Don't forget that babies get thirsty Just as often as their parents do. Babies who nurse get especially thirsty. Give the baby plenty of cool PRESS CC Kew Enterprise. (New York Sun.) Ther? have been many Indications In recent months that government hes begun to sense the coming change and to feel that the time ls arriving to ask the business msn what he wants and to try to give it to htm; that the time baa gone by for government to take the position toward the busi ness man that lt proposes to tell him what he ia going to get. Signs are multiplying that politics has begun to understand that there la.ao.salva tion for the tribe of officeholders un less the country gets back to work, beginning with the real workingman who baa been getting ont of employ ment because bf governmental antag onism, the man who makes the work and provides lt for the workingman so called. So far aa the war goes lt is furnish ing the opportunity for new enter prise, For proof ot thia In one- di rection, consult the reports of the Pan-American conference last week in Washington. The war ia also pro viding the means for the prosecution of new enterprise. Wot proof ot thia consult the foreign exchange mar ket, the movement of gold Into the country and the facta of the domestic banking position. ?

It is well to boil a quart of water every morning and put in the ice box. By shaking the bottle vigorously the flat taste ia somewhat improved and made more palatable,. Give water between meals. .Sometimes when baby cries'it ls only thirsty; try giving lt more water. By pasteurization ls meant the heating to about 165 degrees F. for 20 or 30 minutes and then rapidly cooling it. Milk for the baby should always be pasteurized in the feeding bottles. It may be done as follows: The milk should be mixed with what ever diluent ls used, whether barley water, ice water or sugar is to be ad ded, and poured Into clean feeding bottles, which should then be stopped with clean, non-absorbent cotton or any clean soft cloth. Put the bottles Into any vessel deep enough to acco modate them and then fill the ves sel with cold water to a point a lit tle above the level ot the milk. Heat the water slowly and allow it to boll for three minutes. Then run cold water into the vessel until the milk is cooled to the temperature of the running water. The milk ls then put Into the Ice box or refrigerator and kept below 50 degrees Farenhelt. Don't give or allow any one else to give your baby all klnus of fruit at this season of the year, unlesa yon want them to get sick.

The American note ls on its way tn* Berlin. It will be given to Americans to read some time in the course ot twenty-four hours. By that time lt may have reached the American am bassador In Berlin and have been transmitted to the German govern ment. Mr. Bryan has seen this note. Mr. Bryan bas resigned bis position as secretary of state because he fears the note means war. Americans do not know wbat the American government has said to tbe German government. They do not know that they must face whatever consequences there may be. If the consequence be war, they must fight the war. That ls. their . concern. It does not matter now whether Mr. Bryan, having right Meas, did the wrong thing because be did lt when the consequence was to in crease the danger he feared. Mr. Bryan passes ont.of Importance. The fact, impregnated with what event we do not know, is that the United flutes, however, little deslrlous pf making Its statement au ultimatum, may have committed Ita destiny to factors lt does u?1 control.
