V> In part, this discrimination appo?rsl
to bo due to genuino UrltlHh fear and
hatred of all things German. A Brit
ish boycott on German goods and a
bl " Ultu of Gorma?. business men has
li .n established In every qu&rte* of
tho world. The possession of a Ger
man name I? enough, in tho eyes of
'English authorities, to put even) an
American business man under BUS
picion. Tiley are determined that ill
PO way ?hall Gortnany or individual
Germane derive any benefit from cora
merco which the British admiralty
ha;i power to control.
Il' that were all, lt might bo un
derstood UH mere OXCOBB of war pre
judice. lint the matter look? different
when it ls found that In nearly every
ca H o where cargoes have been held
the merchants for whom they
were destined have received cables
I rem liri tl nh firms offering similar or
Identical goods In the same qi/antl
tles-and at higher prices.
That fact alone ls ground enough
for challenging Brittan sincerity. It
look3 ns If England were mort In
terested in strangling American trade
and diverting it to English firms than
In destroying the resources of her
enemy.
MAKING FACTORIES PLEASANT
A mill or factory used to be merely
a place to toll in. And sinco toll
was tho curso of Adam, lt never oc
curred to nnybody that it might bo
mitigated by.; a llttlb . attention. to
plcnnuntnoSs'^ba^?t?nifOT?.' ..' *':
Now tho view is rapidly changing.
In tho last decade or so thoro baa
boen a marked Improvement in' fac
tories throughout the United (States
in tho direction of making them more
tolerable places to work In. The now
attitudo had* teen ' revealed 'clearly lu
tho answers',received "hy the- American
Museum of. Safety to a list of ques
tions sent to industrial firms.
Tho employers woro aske'i if In
their ruo tories they paid any atten
tion to the .color of tho walls nnd. coll
in r. tho npieo'lof ! the machines, tho
lighting an^igemonts, lunch.lihd reBl
rooms,, good-.archlt?ciur?l ' features,
beautifying -the iac?c-ry alto with'
grass,-'-- flowers, etc.,. arid vtbe'f location
of tho building with renard' to sun
light, air aud recreation facilities.
It is easy enough to remember a
time when nine Arms out ot ten would
have teased. asUlp r-uch questions as
silly'and impertinent ^^ul the men
to wL ,?n ' they wore sent- answered
them.courteously and, in general, with
intelligent appreciation of their sig
nificance!' ' J' ' . ' '
Most of thom recognlzodtho Influence
on tho workers' minds of tho colors
used In interior decorating, although
they usually added that their own
practice was to paint wails and ceil
ings a plain white, instead of'inore
restful tints. They failed tn see tho
need of making machinery lesa noisy;
that wilt como in time, as nerve
strain becomes better understood. But
thoro was pretty uniform .apprecia
tion of tho importance of good' lfght
j inr.i of convenient and cheerful lunch
and. rest, rooms and of an attractive
factory environment
The motive In making improve
ments along these linos has been pr 1?
mariiy the desire Tor * greater ef -
ficiency. Employers are coming to seo
that it is profitable to make their
factories light, airy, pleasant *?and
comfortable, beean so Under, such con
ditions their employees do more work
und better work, and db it; rap're'c'On'r

NO ENTANGLING ALLIANCES
In Norman Angeli's new book, "Tho
World's H?ghw?y," ho shows tho fal
lacy of tho. argument that tho United
States could ""insure her. own. safety
by creating- an, army and .navy* suf
ficient to make he'r "the - strongest
power In the;world^ long
er avails to be merely 'the strongest
power. Nations how fi^ht not as units,
but as {rroups. One power cannot de
pend on its'; own strength, no* mat ter
bow great; that strength ls, ' because
it'.; Is. always possible: for" other na
tions t? >. combine . against it in greata
er power, as the Antf^^te^'c^mbin??'
'||ptyB>., Germany. t "War has become,
internationalised,*' and the only means
Of safety in any cr?ala ties in inter
national; agreements for. mutual de?
"If, therefore, America intends to,
! vlbdicatit her, rights--perhaps ?rea if
sho itrtends to secura* ber safety bli
hind-by military means, ?he, too,
must do what even tho moat power
to! military elates of thc past have
done: enter into the game of mili
tary alliances."
And yet, as Mr. Angeli proceeds to
explain in tho next breath, oven that
method ls of little use to UH. Because,
for our purposes-(ho establishment
and enforcement of international law?
and treaties-tho alliances must bo
permanent; and "of the very few
things that history teaches us with
any certainty, ono is that these mili
tary alliances do not out lust thc pres
sure ol' war conditions. No interna
tional settlement that .has followed
the great wars ever settled or en
dured."
Even If the common enemy Is "de
stroyed," ho never stays destroyed
moro than a yoar. or two. If the con
quering group of nations makes It
self a police forco to keep the out
law suppressed, the outlaw soon be
comes the ally of ono of tho police
men against the rest, and tho pro
cesa miiBt etsrt all over again.
It's a discouraging prospect, any
way you look at lt. Ani no matter
how far wo may go in enlarging our
own defensive armament, this Rea
soning drives us all tho more to main
tain the wiso principle of Internation
al relations laid down by Georgo
Washington-"Friendship for nil, hut
entangling nlliances with none." Unelo
Sam will continuo to piny tho game
alone. . .
MAKING COURTSHIP COSTLY
ono of tho ?dilef reasonB why young
men don't marry BO numerously as
they used to is because courting costs
too much.
Of all tho extravagances of tho
present generation, there's certainly
none moro conspicuous than thc ex
pensive entertainment which young
men feel obliged lo give their girl
frlendB. It doesn't matter .much
whether tho young man's intentions
nro serious or not; ho spends his
money juBt the same. Formerly there
wasn't much expected of a man, oven
an, engaged man, except occasional
I flowers or candy , or booka. But now
euch things are the least of tho im
pecunious swain's troubler.. Theatres
and luncheons and automobiles eat
a hole into the most comfortable in
come. And the plumber or the ice
man "falls for it" no less than his
I richer brethren. .
It isn't necessarily, as Borne dis
gruntled males insist, that. girls, are
moro selfish and exacting than , they
used to be. When an occasional giri
of economic instincts insist that a
mari shall not "blow in" his money
on her, Bhe ls likely to meet with a
rebuff. Tho. young man li im? elf ex
pects to spend his money on her; to
a certain class of young man, the
class that sets the pace, that's what
money ls for. The' standard has
changed, and young males are caught
in a. fy stem of social obligation that
leads a man earning $20 a week to
H,>end *I0 entertaining a girl friend
for an evening, without feeling.that
ho's done anything nfr-iurd-in fact,
doing it with a .feeling of secret pride
that isn't wholly deflated by lila ect
<ing ten ceut hinche?3 till pay day.
Whether such. expenses really scare
men out of matrimony ia a question.
Cortalnly they postpone matrimony
somewhat,-because it take? so much
longer to save euough to start house
{keeping. But on tho other hand,.a
?young man ls likely to conclude that
lt won't cost nny moro to support a
wife than to,keep on good terms with,
a-girl.
An a mattor of fact, the- lavluh ex
penditure, is usually curtailed after
the honeymoon, it has to be, to keep
tho family housed,- clothed and pro
visioned.;. And the retrenchment often
brings dulneao and discontent because
tho transition from .extravagance to
thrift is 00 abrupt,

.... Ever since Dr. :John R White,first
came to Anderson lt has been general
ly said that he- looked like the Com
moner, William Jennings Bryan. Only
those who were at Anderson College
last .'. night" ?ad now appreciate tho
striking resemblance. "': Their* is fib
mistime about it, the two men uVer
l^li^c?k alike [io a great extent: ?
One. man expressed lt . in thls^jway1
last night Ho ?aid that if the people
of Anderson had not'known Dr. White,
and had never seen Mr. Bryan, tho
former could easily have - passed off
?? the latter, judging from tho pic
tures ot tho. former aecretary of .?tate
?which

Dr. White is not near BO large as
Mr. Bryan, but as to the general out
line of thc faces and the expression
of each, there is a very striking re
semblance.

lc/.:?re, for some reason unknown to

colonel for a moment. He speke

pened. No mention was uiude about
the lishte and the audience remained
perfectly quiet, listening to the speak

Mashed up again.
Manager Plnkston announced yes

comedy company at the Palmetto this
next week. They carry 10 people and
como to Andorson from Home, Qa.
This is said to be one of the beBt
shows in the circuit. .Mr. Pinkston
stated also that he was going to ar
range /or a return engagement ot the
company that is delighting Ander

IhlB week. Thia is decidedly one of
tho best shows ever shown at this

"Do you agree with Mr. Bryan?"
That was tho question that was
raised by several people on tho street
cars from the college last evening af
ter tho lecture. Some said they did
and somo said they didn't. Well, of
course that. Is perfectly mumal. His
locturo was good, and although many
do not agree with him in his great
subiect, no ono is tho worse off for
hearing it. .".

giins available "fdr the -offensive' as
true, Gaedke- points out that, to reach
(?0,000,000 shots,'each"gup.-would have
had to flrevsome'17,000. charges hi the
three days. Even new guns direct
from the shops,could not hold out,
even ii lt were physically possible to
serve them ' so fast, which lt is not. .

of tho heavy artillery. At the most,
Says Gaetlu'e,- tho hold guns could not
have fired more . than 1,000 shots a
day, and .the heavy guns much Jess.
Even the. smaller total, however, is
imposing enough. It means an ex
penditure; in ammunition of $25,000,
0?0 to ' $60,000.000. The estimates
of $50,000,000 says Gaedke, show? how
terrible must- have . been.1 the impres
