MUST. Ina much BK Anderson is without un automatic Dre alarm system, which, when a box ls "pulled," cuises the fin- hell to strike thc number of Ibo box from which tile alarm ls sent In, und thus gives the location or thc lire, lt ha:; been suggested that the local ll rf department might KO ar range that when un alarm or fire ls Kent In the bell will fl mt strike the ward in which the blaze is, and then go ahead with the general alarm. With an automatic alarm system, as is generally known, there are a number of boxea or stations placed all over the town from which alarms of lire may be Bcntjn by pulling down n levor encased on one of these boxes. These stations are numbered, und ?fretty too? tho general public learns tho numbers or the various stations and where they are located. When au alarm ls sent In from one or these stations, tho fire bell strikes the number of the station from which this call ls rccolved. And tho public: knows immediately in what part of the city tlie fire Is located. A* alarma are now sounded In An derson, one does not have an oppor tunity of knowing where the Ure ls until niter n long period of general bell ringing 4B ended. Tho bell is rung for several minutes, and then the number of the ward in which the fire ?B supposed to be ls sounded on the bell. A call fireman or a private cdti7.cn wishing to know where the Aro ls, mtiBt wnit for the general ring ing to censo and then Unten for the ward to bc sounded. If it happens to he bin house on fire, he learns about lt only after a considerable walt. HEB LAST CHANCE. Tho president's: latest note to Ger many mny be the last. It is not like ly to be phrased explicitly ns an ul timatum, and yet in effect it will provo to bo one If Cerraany docs not yield. It Is more than two months Blnce the Lusitania was sunk. If wc per mit Germany to hedge and shift as alie has been doing, ignoring our rep resentations in behalf of tho sea rights of neutrals and socking to confuso the tase with irrelevant matters, It may bo years before the issue is set tled. Bomo progress has been made, to bo sure, since the president's noto of protest waB forwarded on May 13. Tho Germans have modified the stand they took in their first war zone proclama tion. They no longer wave away all neutral ships and disclaim all respon sibility for "unfortunate accidents." Thc German government has reversed lbj attitude and declared, in its note of May 31, that "it has no Intention of submitting neutral ships In he war zone to attacks by a submarine," and in a subsequent note has given assurances that "American ships will not be hindered In tho prosecution of legitimate shipping, and the live..; of American citizens in neutral vessels shall not be placed in jeopardy." These concessions, however, arc trivial in comparison with 'what thu United States has demanded as its in alienable right under the law of na tions, and the conditions! attending them aro Intolerable. Wo cannot ac cept tho arrogant restrictions on our commerce that Germany bas pro scribed In bor last note. Particularly wc cannot tolorato any more palter ing over tho Lusitania question, In volving tho sacredness of American lifo on tho high seas, whether under our own flag or any other flag. The attempt to sink tho Orduna has been tho laist straw. In that attack, Germany bad net even the plausible, though Illegal, defenso of aiming to destroy munitions. Tho Orduna waB an innocent passenger Bhlp cn routo to America, with many Americans aboard. To have destroyed her with out warning would havo been sheer murder without a singlo mitigating circumstance. Naturally, after that exhibition, given even while the German diplo mats woro seeking to persuade us ot Germany's good Intentions, we cannot trust Germany unless she gives us explicit promises of reform, and backs them by honest deeds. Wo do not want war with Gormany; but unless Germany pledges horsol f Immediately, without equivocation, to a courze of legality and human de cency, wo do not want anything moro to do with Germany. CAR A MK li IC A DEVELOP A DTK INDUSTRYt Tho Germen dye Industry repre sents an investment of $400,000,000, giving employment to about 60,000 peoplo and producing 800 shades and combinations, according tb an article by Mr. Frederick L. Wagner, an en gineer, who ^ has visited Germany many times l? order to make a close personal study of all the chemical in dust rles of thut country, lu this week s issue nf the Manufacturers llocord ni Ualtiimoro. According to Mr. Wugncr, the German dye Industry .has boen exceedingly profitable, pay ing dividendo from SIC to '?0 per cent., und laying aside from ?IO to 40 per cent, on tiie capital Invested for Im provements und as a "war" fund. Out or accumulated profits tho German dye plants have written oft the entire cost of their works so that amortiza tion and Interest need no longer be considered in their bookkeeping. As showing what will be necessury for America to ?lo in c ompeting willi Ger man dyestuffs makers in tho develop ment of a dye industry in this coun try, it is said thal one German plant employing 10,000 people employ 800 young university men under a chief chemist in the research laboratory, paying them from $1 to $1.2.", per day, their future advancement depending upon tiieir own elTorts. All Gorman banks of consequence huvc associated with them highly-trained technical experts, whose sole business it ts to examine and report to tho bank's muuugor upon the merits of uny in vention or any manufacturer's claim for credit. Tliis financial cooperation in connection with tho government aid, bas brought about the develop ment of thc dye industry to its pres ent dominating position in thc trade, as well a? tho development of other German industries. As to the pos sibility of America developing a dye Industry, .\fr. Wagner says of the Ger man Industry with which we will have to compete: "Organization is pre-eminently the correct title fov this activity, because thc Germans organize a chemical trade campaign in thc same manner ns they organize for war, appointing various committees, who constantly seek new markets as well as raw ma terial; who creato a demand for the finished product; who establish agen cies all over the world; who seek loopholes In foroign patents with thc idea of making use of them if pos sible; who have had thc German pat not laws so framed as to almost ex clude thc foreigner, all of this' being done under the careful supervision of their government, assisted with the aid of State bounties, or subsidies, duties, etc." Under theso circumstances Mr. Wagner point,? out the cooperation that must bo glvon by bankers and by tho government if permanent suc cess is to attend "thc efforts to devel op dye-making In America. LYNCHING ON THE INCREASE, In thc first six months of this year, there hnvo been in tho United States 34 lynching, 13 or more than in the saine period of 1914. And one State In particular has distinguished it olf in this record of dishonor. Georgia has had sight lynching bee:-, ncurly ono-fourth of the total. number. It ls noticeable that very few of these mob killings have been in pun ishment or retaliation for tho "un speakable crime." Only seven mcu of tho 34 were acculxid of attacking wo men. Six of them were negroes, and ono was white. Most of the other 27 wero guilty of not hu g more than robbery or retty theft. And not all of them were colored, by any moana. One-third of tho 27 wore white men. Lynching used to bo defended as tho only means of deterring negroes from assaulting white women. If that was a sufficient justification onco, it is no longer. Tho very criminality of tho method has wrought a sort of moral deterioration in communities tolerating or excusing thc practice until tho ultimate, extra-legal pen alt- is applied unhesitatingly to tho punishment of potty crimes and mern misdemeanors, and to whites as well as blacks. It Is a good object lesson showing thc folly of ever going be yond tho law. A LINE DOPE lit ! Judge Geo. E. Prince baa returned from Atlanta, where he went several weeks ago to undergo treatment In a sanitarium. He is greatly Improved in appearance and states that he fools a great deal better. Judge Prince talks interestingly ot incidents trans piring In Atlanta at tho timo former Governor Slaton commuted the sen tence ot Leo M.

"I could have gotten $.000 for thc pair of mulan" he said, "and I needed the money mighty had, hut I don't believe it is right for the United States to bo shipping munitions ->t war to the belligerent nations and I don' believe I ought to sell my mules or anything else that will contribute to the continuation of this war." In tho show window of thc store room occupied by tho Messrs Kay, on Cranite Row, ls a three-Inch shell which hos attracted consid?rable at tention. The projectile is the prop erty of Mr. Boykin, a watchmaker, and was sent to bim. it is said, by a rela tive of bis who Is in the navy. The shell measures about 12 Indies in length.
