Not having bad time to study any of tbe various phaaea of the proposi tion, Tne Intelligencer defers taking any definite position in regard to the suggestion which came up at yester day's meeting of city council that the matter of a bond Issue for extension of the sewerage facilities of the city be advocated now. On Its face, we are Inclined to favor the proposition. There ls no question lhat the city needs to extend Its sew erage system. Anyone who will take the trouble of making a tour of the city and noting the large areas through which there are no sewer lines, and where surface closets aro mill in use. will be convinced of the city's need for extension of the sew erage system. It ls a well known fact that city council has authorized already a large amount of sewer work and that a large portion of this is now under /ay. Speaking offhand, we believe that more sewer work has been authorized already than the city will be able to carry to completion with out piling up quite a large debt A bond Issue to carry out this work, we believe, ls preferable to a big debt being piled up for this purpose. The point we wiall to stress in this connection, however, is that If the elly In to issue sewerage bonds nt any time in the near future now ls Uie best time to do it. The summer season promises to be none too busy a one. and any money that might be turned loose during the next few months would do a vast amount ot good. Within a very short while the money to be expended as a result of the bond issue for street psving will be getting in circulation in the city, snd we believe the effect will bo noticeable. The paving work will be going on for the next four or Ave months. If tho city could vote a bond issue for sewerage and get this work under way abount time the pfevlng work is winding up lt would serve the dual purpose of furnishing em ployment for a large number of peo ple through the summer snd fall months snd keeping up a heslthy cir culation of money in the city. PEACE OF WORLD'S END. War has always been a horrible thing but nothing In the history of the world can compare with the pres ent conflict which has engulfed Europe. Its horrors have been In creased by the progress which has been made In tho peat hundred years In science and Invention. Hundreds and hundreds may now be slain where In Ute agea gone by only a few would hsve been killed} jluppose when peace ls declared between all nations and civilisation and progress once more resumes their pace, what would a war one hundred or fifty jeara from now mean? Would the world be able to withstand it? Just as any machine or any human being can stand so much and no more, just also it may be said of the human race. If. war today la one hundred tlmea worse Uian lt was one hundred yeera ago. science and In tention in the next century will no Soubt have made such progresa, that i war In Ute year 201*. would be one I undred tlmea. worse than it is. npw Mid this, ot conree would be more .han the human race could endure. Couple thia. Idea with the one ex pressed by som ft- people that the hu man race ls growing weaker physi cally and cannot endure as much ss. it. once could, andi what then? Such a oaee as-far aa civilized man kind is concerned' would be tba end: of the world and lt seems that the tim? when either mankind must abolish warfare or else civilization must perish. IN BE.iwcojaw XAJfc Under the head ol Legal Notices Ia this paper ls carried notice In re tard to the time limit for making In some tax returns. In which lt ls stated that Ute time expires on Juiy 1st. This notice comes from Carlton W. Saw yer, comptroller general and these returns must be made. County Auditor Smith stated yes terday that he waa having some trouble In getting these returns and that unless "business picks up" the iherlff would be called on to lend his issistance. This ls law and most be sn forced. DB. WHITE'S CALL. Dr. John E. White, one ot the fore most Baptist preachers In the South, has decided to change bl? place ot residence from Atlanta to Anderson. In the last named city he will be Use paster of the First Baptist church, in Atlanta he waa the pastor of the Second Baptist church. Perhaps th? reniai and'talented doctor prefers bo ng first in Anderson to being second In AUanta.-Rock Hill Herald.

The German government bas now re fused to declare that lt will relin quish the ufse of submarines against enemy merchantment even thought such use Involves loss of life of our nationals, and lt presenta contentions of fact and of law upon which lt Invites discussion. In view of the position hitherto taken by our government respecting tne arbitration of International dis putes our government may decide to arbitrate before the last resort. According to Washington report, however, some members of the cabi net favor an ultimatum in response to the German note. This course would be urged 'by the more impassioned partisans of the allies, without hesi tating, as well as by unthinking flag wavers. It is safe, we trust, to Bay that Vf peremptory action bo adopted lt will not be because of Jingoism or unba lanced partisanship. " Whatever ls decided upon by thc president ought to be. and we believe will be, determined solely upon the sound consideration of American In terest and honor. Pending the government's decls.o.n lt is well to consider what an ultima tum Involves. There is apparent a notion that we can be vigorous in words and mild In action. The op posite policy ls the one we should adopt. There is more wordy mili tancy among the partisans of peremp tory action than there is discussion of what that action means or ought to mean. An ultimatum must not be followed up by a slap on the wrist. An ultimatum which Involves noth ing more than a breaking off of dip lomatic relations will accomplish nothing except to Impress the world with our futility and to Invite further aggression. If we are "too proud to fight" let us be too proud to talk as If we are ready to fight. If we are for militant diplomacy let us not de ceive ourselves with vague talk or "peaceful war" bul face the fact that war will mean for us wsr In the full ? WIT AND HUMOR. ? ? ? A Pair of Snuffers. A gentleufau holidaying in the Highland!.' was engaged one night in Writing a letter In a humble abode, where he had obtained accommodation. The guttering candles annoyed bim. and he called out: "Mrs. M'Pberson. can you get me a pair of snuffers?" "A pair Q* snuffers?" repeated Mrs. M'Phevaon, somewhat bewildered. "Weel, 111 das my best." In a few minutes there was a com motion o utslde. Two stalwart figures shuffled In, following by Mrs. McPher son "This ls Donald M'Dougall," she said, "and this ls Dougall M'Donald. I dinna, ken what ye want wi' them; but I'm thlnkln' the two o' them tah' mair snuff than sny lther twa In the. parish." Behind Time. Thara-, ls a Chicago man, dwelling la one ot the suburbs, who goes lato the city every day to look after a mali order business. One afternoon last winter he took the train tor bis horns, but a terrific snowstorm was raging, and about half way to his suburb the train was snow ed In. All night the passengers were Imprisoned. Early la the morning they managed to reach a nearby tele graph station, from which the Chica go man seat tbs following message ta his office: "Will not be hi the office today- Have not got home yesw.rday yet." - Taking Ks Chances. - Just before Mayday a gentleman ont motoring with a friend noticed- that they were crawling along a thorough' tare where previ JUS ly they had been accustomed to go st full speed. He asked why the car was run So slow ly. "Why." explained the driver of the sar, with perfect naivets, "everybody carrying home garden tools now. and you can't rna over r* man without risking a puncture."

It may well be that American statesmanship, profoundly considering all the moral and material Interests of the republic as they are now involved or may be affected by the European war, will conclude that it is expedient to insist to the last recourse upon our interpretation of sea law and our view of the limitations which muet circumscribe the conduct of war. It may be that American statesman ship will conclude that the well being of the American nation, lbj growth, progress, and security,.would be so im periled by tbs success of German arms and by the establishment In Eu rope of a vast Teutonic military em pire that lt la the Interest and the duty of the republic to throw its sword into the scale against the Ger man allies. These are tremendous Issues which we may assume woud not be decis ively determined in camera or without a profound confidence that the Judg ment reached represented the will of the nation. But being determined in favor of aggressive action, there should be neither hesitancy nor compromise nor half measure. Both the government and the nation should proceed at once to mobilize all our resources, to organize all our powers, and to direct them with unflinching resolve against our opponents. There should be clear understanding then, and, what is even more Importhut, there should be a clear understanding now, that ?the only self-respecting response to an ultimatum refused>is war, and that the nation and its government muet In euch event confirm Ita purpose to the uttermost ot its powers, facing the. i expenditure of blood and treasure through perhaps years of conflict. The late Lord Roberts rebuked the British home staying Jingoes by invit ing them not "to kill Germans with their mouthes." In the same spirit we may remind the bellicose among our fellow citizens and contemporaries that if the United States makes war lt must be war, profound and des ! perate. ? ODDS AND ENDS. + * ?
