These rumors are to I the effect tbat Germany herself ls] largely responsible for Mexico's ex asperating conduct. An American traveler who spent some time recently in close contact with political circles in Germany is quoted os saying that he found Berlin in confident anticipation of the en-j trance of "anotfcer ally" Into the] field. * That ally* was to be Mexico, whose revolutionary leaders, whether for or against Carrauza, were said to have "been bought with downright c&Bh." Mexico was expected to be ''another Turkey". Sho would pro voke war. with the United States, thereby "punishing" this nation for sympathizing with the Al?les and Belling them munitions. And ac cording to the Berlin view, there j would be two results of immediate] practical value to Germany. First, our output st rooj?iUons I would be diverted and kept from the Allies. . . . Second, we would be so engrossed in the Mexican war as to leave Ger many free to reaumo her submarine j warfare against merchant ' .vesseli. { without molestation from us. . It must be admitted tha| recent j events in Mexico and news dispatches! from Germany tend tc? - support this vlewx There has been renewed Ger man clamor for the resumption of U-boat warfare.' Admiral K?ester ls reported to have .declared repeatedly In the last, few days that the attacks on merchantmen were to be renewed with greater violence than ever. Many German newspapers while urging this course, have pointed to oUi embroil ment with Mexico as an immense | benefit ,to Germany. . Bnt lt Germany has actually bribed Mexican leaders to for co war .upon us-ot which as yet there, la no proof -H*r ev?n lt GrnnAnyf;'lgi'''&i?ra]y:.re Joining,' with clem honda,' over a pre dicament that seem?'to^bods well for her, she ls probably mistaken. > War with Mexico will not have the result she anticipates. There would no doubt be a moderate j Slacking, for a time, of our monition shipments to Europe; but our pro duction would be so enormously ac-1 celerat^d that the effect on the Euro-1 pean ? ti ?ggls would be; almost ?negli gible. And as for the submarine ia sue, tao German government will bo everlastingly deceived if it Imagines |^|t|^^^?lj|^^P Mexico will divert us from compelling full ob servance ot our rights In European waters. It Is the; anny what ls needed -In j Mexico. Our fleet, which ls the on ly arm we should UBe anyhow, ii wc wore drawn into the European con flict, would be available to defend American property and life against any further U-boat frightfulness. And war in. thia hemisphere, far from making us submit "to European Impo alttons, will quicken our fighting spirit and stiffen our reslBjance .to wrong In every Quarter of. the "worli. ? ., ?? -,-", / ? ?: THE PRICE OF PAPER ' ' ?-'. The cost of printing paper has risen so high as to drive imany news papers out of business und Impose 4 grievous burden on'aH the Test. It used to be an axiom lo the newspaper world that the readers' pennies would Just about pay for thw white paper used. Today theK pytoe at which most newspapers, ar? sold doesn't como "anywhere ?car paying for tho paper in them. \ The?ccet,of paper has nearly .doubled. Maay. papers which marlo u fair profit a year or two ago are how;published at a loss, | for.??'.thia; reas?y . \ alone../ Publishers] have'discredited a-general increase in] the retail price', but few papers haye j cared to adopt thia method of recoup- j tag their losses.? Whether the rise In ; the ^prlco ot I Painting paper ia legitimate ls open f to serious question.

It concerns not only thu news papers, but the cutir- public, which is as much interested as any editor or publisher in getting itB papers at a minimum cost and preventing the Tinanoiai oi?pp??uK of the nation's would bo diverted to Mexico and kept from the Allies. ARMY SNOBBISHNESS The army caste system, which matn- \ tains and unbridgeable social gulf between officers and men, hes dis appeared from the British army, un-j der the stress of heavy losses and the j necesGity for officering a great vol un to or army. It disappeared from the' French army at the very beginning of the war. It has gono from tho Russian army and othor European arr mles. Only in Germany and the United, States are the rigid distinc-J tiona? of military canto still observed. One of tho valuable by-products of service in Mexico is likely to be the upsetting of thia abBurd system-which has developed-in time of peace. It( is wholly contrary to Hie spirit of American life. . Oar anny/ aside j from; th* necessities of .disciplino,! ought.to bo BB democratic as our j civilian life. And it probably will be, lt the Mexican campaign entails the raising of additional forces and protracted service in tho field of largo numbers of volunteers. Tlie presence of the National Guard, and its absorption into the regular army, will be a powerful factor in this'ttomncratlzatlon. Civilian troops will not swallow the arrogance which, according to army tradition, goes properly with gold-braided uniforms. The guardsmen and the new volun teers will laugh at snobbishness. And the endurance of common hardships and perils will havo a wholesomo ten dency in the samo direction. Hereafter it will probably be pos-4 albie for-ah American officer to be' friendly and sociable to his enlisted men, when off duty, without Incur ring, the scorn of his brother-officers for making a "vulgar exhibition ' ot - democracy.1' I [ LINE O'POPE 11 "I never saw tho HLe of wheat Inj my life," s^d a local business man yesterday who observed scores of v? h?cl?s drive up to tbs Burriss Milling Company's placo ot business and leave sacks of wheat to be ground into fi?uf?

Yester day a roporter of Tho Intelligencer secured from the local postoffice all Information necessary for tho use of persons desiring to send mall to the young mon encamped at Styx. AU that ls necessary is to address the mall matter to "Styx, South Carolina." Of course, it would greatly facilitate matters If tho company and the regi ment in which tho woung men are en listed were added to the address. For instance, if one desired to address a member of the Palmetto Rifles, thc letter would be addressed as follows: "Joac liu?, CO. O. Jst Inf. N. C. 3. C., Styx, South Carolina." Matter to be sent by express abould be ed drersed tho same way. I There was a smdll army of news paper correspondents in attendance on the campaign meeting yesterday. J. C. Derieux, managing editor of the Greenville Daily News, was oh hand to report the doings of the cam paign for his paper. Rion McKisslck. editor ot The News, was also along as an observer. . W. P.
