THE REPLY TO GERMANY.
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.

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.

Improper and Fatuous.
New York Times: His detailed ex
planation of his reasons for resigning
ls not only a gross impropriety, but
I* "ThtMtn fi decree of fatuousness In
reasoning ot which even yet a few
AiuenchiiB may have believed Mr. Bry

facts are known, the violation of law
and war UBage ls beyond all disputo.
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.

+ HOG RAISING. ?
? ?
(Newberry Herald and News.)
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.

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

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

By pasteurization ls meant the
heating to about 165 degrees F. for
20 or 30 minutes and then rapidly

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

the water slowly and allow it to boll

water into the vessel until the milk
