' I (By Associated Press) Atlanta, Ciu., Oct. 24.?Germany's 1 fforts to keep American ships off the ( ligh seas through her ruthless suh- 1 narine warfare was a direct blow 1 limed at the prosperity of American 1 arms and of American business, Sec- ' clary McAdoo declared in his Lib- ' rty Day address here today. ' After reminding his hearers tha*. America went to war in 1812 to vindi- 1 ate her right to the freedom of the ' ens and had steadfastly maintained 1 t since then, he continued: "Why i< ' hat right so essential to America's ife and security? It is because we ' lave always produced more than we ' an consume at. home. And the very * irosperity of our people, their very ' ife, in fact, depends upon their abil- 1 ty at all times to sell that surplus n the open markets of the world." 1 The German emperor had been led iy disloyal people in this country to f lelieve that America never would * ight," the secretary of the treasury 1 ontinued, "and that any transgres- ' ion of our rights would be met sini- 1 ily by protests. ' "Had America submitted and kept * ier ships off the seas, discord and dis- ' ontent among American people f irould have followed, Mr. McAdoo aid, and the German emperor by one > troke of his pen would have accon^ ' dished "more destruction upon 1 tmeriean fnrmo i?i A . - 1, til miiciiaui lilt"- v ories and in American business ' ouses and to American interests all ' ver this land than he could accom- ' lish with all the armies and navies 1 f the German empire." N After telling what stoppage of c American sea commerce would have 1 aeant in loss to cotton growers of the * louth, and of Germany's efforts to N ivolve the United States with Japan x nd Mexico through the Zimmerman ' ntrigue, the secretary turned to ruth- * ?ss submarine warfare, and recited * he stories of helpless men and women i eing drowned at sea. ' "Some man has said, or is alleged c o have said, that America had no r ustitication for this war with Ger- ; nany," the secretary declared. "If * here be an American, or any man in * his land, whether he is an American ( r not, who knowing this record, says 1 hat we did not have justification for ( /ar with Germany, then yellow blood 1 lows in his veins?he hasn't any Ted 1 lood in him." Mr. McAdoo denounced those indiiduals who would make peace with he kaiser's government and the "sieged peace societies" in this country, 'he latter are merely "German solves masquerading in the hides of American traitors," he declared, while ome of the former are deluded and imple people and "some are in the ay of the kaiser." The secretary, who has completed l tour through the West and South- . vest in the interest of the Liberty ] .oan, said his trip had convinced him hat America is awake to the fact hat this country is waging a war or self-preservation and knows that , vhen the struggle is carried to a successful conclusion the liberty of the Jnited States will never be imperilled igain. After describing the liberty bond vhich the government is selling as mving the entire country's guaranee of the safety of the principal? he money invested in it, the secretary aided, "but America cannot assure ler soldiers of the principal?their ives. "The soldier does not ask the government to guarantee him safety," laid Mr. McAdoo. "He expects to die f necessary, but he has a right to ask he civilian population to do this much 'or him?to arm him with the best run that American money and Amercan ingenuity can devise, a gun that vill shoot faster and farther than any run yet made, and give him the best myonet that can be forged by Amerca's skill and brawn. "It is the only chance he has for lis life. That is all we can do for ?im. Isn't he entitled to it?" The $5,000,000,000 raised through he second Liberty Loan will be demoted chiefly to this, the secretary laid in closing and "we shall end this hing forever, and America's liberties vill never he imperilled again." Dupont Plant Wrecked Rv l^Ynlnsirm Mi?nduv J ?ATAVIIUUJ Taconia, Wash., Oct. 22.?The black powder cording mill of the Dupont Powder Works, 20 miles south of Ta:oma, blew up tonight.

I _ SHEOwk - < Where Deduction is at Fault (Editorial from Columbia State) One can never tell when our old friend Sherlock Holmes has been operating in the neighborhood. Sherlock, as every one knows, has been [lead and alive oftoner than a colon\ of cats and, for that matter, everyone has a wish next to his heart that his lives shall he inexhaustible. At any rate Dr. Conan Doyle said the otbei lay, "Divorce is not an evil. It is a remedy for the evil that lies underaeath. The only country where divorce is made impossible is in South Carolina. The result is so awful that hey have had to alter the legitimacy aws." Granting that Dr. Doyle, in the ;uise of Sherlock Holmes, a guise, ly the way, which the brilliant elector ivould be wise to assume for all time, las been "using sound" in this great 'country" of South Carolina, someone las imposed upon him, deceived him. blinded his eyes, stuffed him with ommyrot, doped him. fooled him to a Inish. One almost suspects that lurkng "in our midst" is one cuter than Sherlock himself and fatally bent on daying merry tricks. The times are too full to admit of ;erious discussion of divorce in South "arolina, but we halt a moment to issure Sherlock that conditions arc lot so awfully awful. His saying that he legitimacy laws of the State have >een altered is a very pretty deduction?from a long row of zeroes. Pevlaps if this "country" of ours had not 'or its border neighbors Georgia and Parheelia, what is a question elsovhere might have an interrogation loint after it here, but South Carolina s so situated that she is is also quite ontented. She has two buffer States >etween herself and the wicked world leyond and when South Carolinians nust have divorces they buy railroad ickets and go and get them. Kven vere this not the convenient condition if the "country" (and as an old-fashoned "rebel" we must thank the docor for the word) South Carolina still vould obstinately oppose divorce, for vhich we are duly thankful, but facts >eing facts and geography geography, here can be no cause of excitement in hese parts so long as the other -17 Vmerican "countries" shall be so 'uriously modern as they are. The onclusive proof that a divorce law is lot needed in South Carolina is that ,vith singularly rare exceptions in>ody asks for it and the hundreds of housands of happy families living in iecent regard for the things that are >f good report threaten to destroy the >ld faith in the Sherlockian method ol atiocination that has been so hardly von.

We believe that the origin if these reports is (lermany itself, tnd that CJermany, in order to cause his country to slacken in its ptepa :iiion lor war. is 111 this way seekng to mislead this country ami the \llics and create tlie impression that ts economic and financial interests tie nhout to collapse. Nothing that omes out of Germany can he ac epted with any decree of confidence, vhether from the professors in its iniversities, down or up to the kaiser, is the case may lie. That nation has iwnine the father of lies. If, in order o create a false sense of security in his country it can unceasingly lie and liscredit its own ability to continue he war. we may rest assured it will lo so. There is no safety for us but in iroparing on the most gigantic scale for a long war. If hv any manner of means the war should ho hiouirht to in end by an unconditional surrender mi the part of Germany within the next twelve months, all the expenditure and work that we have put forth will he more than justified. We believe, however, that every plan in this country should look forward to the probability of a war at least two years longer, and po ihlv more. We hope for the early destruction Df German military power, and we may hope for a collapse of that government and its unconditional surrender, and nothing hut an unconditional surrender should he accepted hy the Allies. And yet hope carries the thought of expectation, and, there fore, it is possibly too strong. We nay wish for these things, hut if we are seriously studying the question, we can hardly hope for them in the true meaning of the word.
