Scraps and Jacts.
? Rear Admiral Peary, speaking at
a Republican banquet in New York
recently, said: "We cannot stand still.
A hundred years hence, we either shall
be obliterated as a nation or we shall
occupy the entire North American
world segment." A sentence from Secretary
Bryan's criticism of this last
Wednesday is: "Such a prediction
from an obscure man would be foolish;
from one in his position, it is little
less than a crime."
? A British submarine went ashore
in the Dardanelles a few days ago
within easy range of the Turkish
guns. Some of the members of the
crew, who survived, were made prisoners.
The submarine itself was in a
position where the Turks, on favorable
opportunity, would be able to
save it, and probably use it against
the British. There was naturally
great concern among the British naval
commanders as to the outcome and
they called for volunteers to destroy
the boat. Young officers and seamen
offered themselves for the undertaking
without hesitation, and approaching
the stranded submarine under a
very hot fire, they succeeded in blowing
the boat to pieces, with the loss
of but a single man.
? Imaginary ammunition orders by
the Allies multiply over night, it
appears, and become quadrupled by
sunset, says a New York letter. If the
Allies are buying all these millions
of dollars' worth of shrapnel, it is
contended, it is high time that they
also establish credits in this country
to foot the bills. So far Wall street
had heard only of the "orders" and
not of credits in sufficient amount to
pay for one-ten\h of the ordnance
which the mills are supposed to be
turning out. Whether imaginary or
real, however, the "orders" remain
a great factor of the market. Any
rumor, it appears, suffices to send the
war stock higher. Every heap of scrap
iron In the country, gathered together
by peddlers at perhaps four pounds
for a cent, becomes transformed into
a heap of gold by the rumors of the
shrapnel press agents. The highest
price paid for shrapnel steel by the
willing Allies, according to one apparently
well-founded story in circulation
today, is $45 a short ton. In
other words, shrapnel steel, when cut
up into dealth-dealing slugs for the
75-millimeter French field guns, is
about twice as valuable as steel rails.
? A squadron of three foreign cruisers,
the most powerful gathered here
since the war began, lay off the entrance
to New York harbor last Wednesday.
The nearest the shore was
a four funnel British cruiser, seven
miles east of Ambrose channel lightship.
Her name and the names of her
companions could not be made out,
even through glasses. Ten miles east
of the Highlands rode the second
ship, an auxiliary cruiser, big and
with lines that spelled speed. This
cruiser, observers thought, was a |
stranger, the Caronia having depart- J
ed, presumably for supplies, me
largest ship of the squadron, a fourfunnel
cruiser, lay 15 miles southeast
of the Highlands. This vessel,
too, had not been seen previously by
shore observers. For more than an
hour messages were exchanged between
the two warships. Apparently
the four-funnel cruiser, in command
of the squadron, was issuing orders.
Later a small boat bearing officers
put out from the auxiliary cruiser
and made the five-mile trip to the
four-funnel cruiser, and the officers
went aboard. Meantime the cruiser
off the Ambrose light ship signalled
the incoming motor ship Falstria,
flying the flag of Denmark. The Dane
answered the warship's signal by
steaming slowly close by, as If for
inspection. After running up answering
signals the Falstria headed for
port.
? The British expeditionary force
in France, which at the beginning of
the war consisted of six divisions, has
been increased to more than 36, or,
roughly speaking, 750,000 men according
to a statement by David
Lloyd-George, chancellor of the exchequer,
in the house of commons
Wednesday. The Chancellor added
that the place of every man who had
fallen in battle had been filled and
that the army was adequately equipped.
But he reiterated the need for
munitions declaring that during the
batt'e of Nueve Chapelle more ammunition
was used than in the whole
of the South African war, which lasted
nearly three years. The interesting
information also was given that th?
output of the munition factories had
been increased more' than nineteenfold
since the outbreak of the war
but the call was still for more, and,
as Mr. Lloyd-George continues to
hold the opinion that consumption of
liquor is interferring with the work,
he promised legislation to deal with
this matter. The figures made public
by the chancellor as to the size of the
British army in France and the expenditure
for ammunition has caused
great surprise in England where the
opinion has been general that about
half the number of men had reached
the front, especially as there has been
no sign of any decrease in the number
of khaki-clad men training in this
country. It is likely that many of the
new men already have been under
fire as the Germans are making repeated
attempts to re-capture. Hill
60 near Ypres which the British took
Sunday and have, according to Field
Marshal French's report, been repulsed
with great loss.
? "I am glad you ask that question.
This is not a war of the Turkish
government, but a war of the Turkish
people," said Enver Pasha, the most
remarkable man in Turkey, who at
the age of 33 years is war minister
and generalissimo of the Ottoman
Army, to the Associated Press correspondent
in the first interview ever
tr\ tho Anipriffln nrpss. "Lome:
before we took this step Russia had
grown ugly on the Black sea and in
the Caucasus, invading our territory
there, while England had already
operated against Mesopotamia and
had concentrated a fleet before the
Dardenelles. We were unwilling to
start the ball rolling, and even after
the Russians attacked our fleet in the
Black sea we still waited one week
before war was declared. "We knew
that Turkey would again be led to the
slaughter-block. Being unwilling that
this should happen, we took the only
course open. We Turks feel that we
have a right to exist, especially when
the best of us are straining every
effort and are catching up with other
countries in intellectual and material
dwvelopment. There was a time
when Turkey was merely a government
clique." Replying to questions
as to the present status of the campaign
the generalissimo said: "Conditions
in the Caucusus are more
satisfactory. Regarding the situation
in the Darlanelles I will say we arc
fully confident that it has been demonstrated
that fighting down the
forts there will be a huge task for
the allies. But even should that happen.
we would still be master of the
situation there by means of howitzers,
mines and a fleet. The allies
coming up the strait would be obliged
to move in single file, and the effectiveness
of our protective measures
should he apparent."
? The I'nited States renlied Wednes
day to the recent memorandum in
which Count von Bernstorff, the German
ambassador declared that "if the
American people desire to observe
true neutrality they will find means to
stop the exclusive exportation of
arms to one side, or at least to use
this export trade as a means to uphold
the legitimate trtide with Germany,
especially the trade in foodstuffs."
The American note signed by
Secretary Bryan, was drafted at the
state department, but was finally
penned by President Wilson himself.
After pointing out that the language
used by Count von Bernstorff "is
susceptible of being construed as impunging
the good faith of the United
States in the performance of its duties
as a neutral," the note "takes it
for granted that no such implication
was intended." and suggests that evidently
the German ambassador "is
laboring under certain false impressions."
It then declares that while
the relations of the United States
with any one of the belligerents "cannot
wisely be made a subject of discussion
with a third government."
such corresjxmdence between the
United States and the allies as has
been published shows "the steadfast
refusal" of the American government
"to acknowledge the right of any
belligerent to alter the accepted rules
of war at sea insofar as they affect
the rights and interests of neutrals."
The attitude of the United States on
the question of exportation of arms is
restated?namely, that to place any
embargo on arms during the progress
of a war would be "a direct violation
of the neutrality of the United States.'*
The note refers to the spirit of friendship
which the United States desires
always to manifest toward Germany
and its people and concludes with the
declaration that the neutrality of the
United States "is founded upon the
firm basis of conscience and good
will." The communication was delivered
by messenger to Count von
Bernstorff late Wednesday and by arrangement
with the German embassy,
the state department mace it public
Wc-dnesday night.

YORKVILLE. S. C.s
FRIDAY, APRIL, 23, 1915.
At the conclusion of Gov. Heyward's
address, the veterans will be paid off
according to rank in Confederate
money from a wagon in front of the
Confederate monument in the state
house plaza. This will be the first pay
the soldiers have received since Appomattox.?Columbia
State.
Bright idea that, and just like Columbia,
too!
The correspondence beween Governor
Manning and Mayor John P.
Grace with reference to law enforcement
in Charleston, is growing more
and more interesting. Governor Manning
is insisting that Charleston be
cleaned up entirely. Mayor Grace
says that he has put a stop to wide
open gambling, as far as possible, and
he is doing what he can to hold liquoi
selling down to a minimum: but he
does not promise to close the liquor
shops entirely for the reason that he
claims it cannot be done.' He insists,
however, that the authorities are doing
everything in their power, and
that Charleston has made as good a
showing in this regard as any other
community.
We are giving space to the full text
of President Wilson's address at the
Associated Press banquet in New
York last Monday, not only because
we consider it our duty to do so; but
because we are quite sure that many
of our readers will especially be pleased
to see what the president thinks
of the matter discussed at this time.
As to whether it was really necessary
for the president to say anything, we
are not altogether certain. We are
inclined to think that because he has
been living and acting the views
expressed, the people of the country
not only understand them, but are in
pretty close accord with them, l^ost
of our readers will feel that the president
has only told them what they already
knew, and they will continue as
they have have been, content to follow
him to the end.
Rumors have gone out from Rome
to the effect that peace is a probability
of the near future. There is no
authority behind the rumors and no
explanation beyond the statement
that the information comes from high
and responsible sources. What it
means we do not know; but from
what we have gathered by all the
study we have been able to give the
situation, we are not led to believe
that either side is near exhaustion.
We have been able to understand in
a manner reasonably satisfactory to
ourselves why the sentiment of this
country has been that the allies would
certainly overcome the Germans. Our
idea is that this sentiment owes its
existence to a natural belief that the
issue should be decided by numbers,
and there has not been enough importance
attached to preparedness.
We have a feeling that Germany has
run up against rather more than she
has been counting on; but we do not
feel that we have any reason for believing
that Germany has approached
any nearer to exhaustion than has
the allies. We do not think that the
allies are anywhere near the end of
their resources, either of men, money
or munitions. It looks to us that both
sides are being steadily and surely
ground away. But that is not the
point. If there has been any good
cause for this war it has been the
conflict between German militarism
on the one hand and British navalism
on the other. We consider that both
nations seek to dominate the earth,
and the main issue is as to which shall
have the right of way, England with
her ships or Germany with her
armies. The issue has not nearly been
decided, and a peace upon any other
basis would at best be only a temporary
peace, liable to be broken as soon
as the struggling powers are able to
recover themselves sufficiently to
make a new start. So far as we are
concerned, we feel like we would be
glad to see an early settlement of it
all, even though such settlement came
through compromise, but there is
nothing in the present situation that
leads us to believe that the end is in
sight through compromise or otherwise
We hope we are mistaken.
The Bank Fight.
The old I'nited States bank tight is
on again! That is what it looks like
and there is nothing pleasant in the
orosoect: but nevertheless it appears
to be a matter of duty, and it is very
probably coming. The outcome will be
a matter for the future.
The determination of this issue will
depend in large measure on the one
'juestion as to whether the masses of
the people, who always stand for the
right, will ever be able to fully comprehend
the merits of the case. Down
underneath it all are many important
conditions that are all wrong, and
which the great work-a-day world
knows is all wrong; but upon which
that great work-a-day world will be
so easily confused, that it will seem a
matter of chance whether it will take
the wrong side or the right side.
Andrew Jackson was not the lirst
powerful publicist to see and realize
the dangers of tin old t'nited States
bank system in both theory and practice;
but up to his day. he was the
lirst president to have courage and!
ability to tackle it. The struggle be- I
tween Jackson anil the t'nited States
bank was terrific, and although Jackson
partially whipped the bank, he
did not complete the task because of
the then impossibility of the thing, and
there was widespread comprehension
of the fact that there would come a
day when there must be another great
and probably decisive battle of the
same character. All the various presidents
since Je ckson's day, more especially
since Lincoln's day, have understood
the isisue; but it is only now
that the Issues are becoming fairly
joined.
The cry of "money trust" has
been more or less familiar for more
than a generation. At first those who
constituted the money trust, and
those who thought themselves beneficiaries
thereof, said "pooh, pooh;
nothing but ignorant demagogy!" but
the congressional investigation at the
beginning of the Wilson administration
left little doubt of the truth. The 1
entire country is now aware of the fact |
j that there han been and is a money
trust, and a large proportion realize
that although the regional reserve
system was established for the purpose
of putting the money trust finally
and forever out of business, the
thing will not be finally accomplished
without another terrific legal and per
haps terrific battle, that will be or
as much immediate consequence and
as far reaching in Its effects as the
famous battle that was won by Andrew
Jackson in 1836.
There has already been talk of personal
ends, the use of official position
to accomplish individual spite
and all that, and there will be more
of it. Such Is human nature. There
have always been those who will not
look for motive beyond immediate
self-interest and there will always be
such. But people who have an intelligent
and comprehensive knowledge
of the vital principles involved in the
old United States bank struggle, will
take no stock in allegations that the
motive of the present fight is petty
spite or anything akin to that. The
idea is positively absurd.
It will be remembered that in the
fall of 1913, there went out a distressful
cry to the effect that because of
the scarcity of currency, there was
going to be difficulty about moving
the cotton crop. There was created
an impression that the New York
banks which had been furnishing the
money supply, did not have it to
spare. That meant low priced cotton
and the situation looked very gloomy.
Then came the news that Secretary
McAdoo proposed to deposit $50,000,000
in the national banks, and
things began to loosen up. There
came statements from certain quarters
that there was no use of the secretary's
action, because the New
York banks had plenty of money with
which to move the crops. The people
never fully understood the matter;
but the fact of the business was
that the "money trust" had determined
to curtail the currency supply so
as to reduce the original selling price
of cotton, with a view to transferring
mainly to the northeast, the ad
vantage or me rise mat wouia ioijow
when currency became more free. Mr.
McAdoo's action was taken to checkmate
this old, old scheme and give to
cotton producers a larger share of the
proceeds of their labor. The money
trust did not relish taose proceedings
even a little bit, as might naturally
be supposed.
It will be remembered that last
summer when, before the regional reserve
system was in shape, the European
war came on, and it looked like
thfcre' was going to be a panic, Mr.
McAdoo averted the trouble by depositing
in the banks millions of Aldrich-Vreeland
emergency currency,
and it will be -emembered how, later
on, he had to rebuke some of the
banks because they used this 2 per
cent money to pay their own 5 per
cent notes.
It will be remembered how, during
the campaign of 1912, when Mr. Wilson
was telling of his plans for reforming
the country's finance, some
man in the crowd shouted that the
"money trust won't let you," and Mr.
Wilson replied, "Yes, and we will
hang the money trust higher than
Haaman," or words to that effect.
It is very well understood that the
"money trust" is not at all favorable
to this regional reserve banking system,
because the full and free operation
of that system will "hang the
money trust higher than Haaman."
This whine about Treasurer McAdoo
and Comptroller Williams being
after the Riggs bank for 'personal
reasons" is not creditable to the Riggs
bank, even if there were any foundation
for it; but in view of all the facts
and circumstances of the ease, it is
about what is to be expected of the
money trust.
McADOO AND THE SOUTH
Secretary of the Treasury Did What
He Could for Cotton Producers.
W. P. G. Harding of the Federal reserve
board, gave out last night a
letter he has written to J. L Hughes
of the Southern club of Chicago, in
answer to an inquiry of the secretary
of the treasury as to what the Wilson
administration did for the south last
fall when it was in distress over the
cotton situation.
Mr. Harding wrote to Mr. Hughes
that Secretary McAdoo, among other
things, had called a conference of
those interested in transportation last
August, recommended a bureau of
war risk insurance, worked for a
government-owned merchant marine
and looked with favor upon the establishment
of a cash fund of $100,000,000
to be subscribed by banks
throughout the non-cotton producing
states, out of which loans should be
made on cotton on the basis of six
cents a pound.
"I'nder the conditions that prevailed
last fall," said Mr. Harding, "the
creation of a fund of this magnitude
to be loaned upon a commodity which
was then regarded as unmarketable,
was a termendous undertaking, but
Secretary McAdoo devoted all of his
energy and ability to the task. In the
face of enormous odds, he was successful.
and as soon as it became evident
that he would succeed In raising
the fund, a demand for cotton, at
prices slightly above the loan values
fixed, sprang up, and this demand has
continued without intermission, so
that the best grades are now selling in
the south around 10 cents a pound, a
price which in the opinion of experts,
is as great as would have obtained
had there been no war. While the
benefit of the cotton loan fund was,
therefore, confined to its moral effect,
it was unquestionably a great factor in
restoring confidence and in initiating
a movement of cotton which has developed
beyond all expectations.
"Having lived in the south all my
life and having been engaged in the
banking business twenty-eight years,
1 feel warranted in saying that I have
never seen a situation in the south,
apparently so desperate as that which
existed last fall, that worked out as
rapidly and jis satisfactorily and I
wish to say never before within my
recollection has a secretary of the
treasury devoted as much time and
energy to the solution of south) rn
problems, nor shown such knowledge
of, 21 nd sympathetic interest in the
necessities of that section. The relief
afforded the south by Secretary McAdoo
was intelligent and effective, and
his spirit of helpfulness was restrained
onlv by the limitations of law and
the obligations of his oath of office.
The deeds and motives of the administration
will be more and more appreciated
in the south with the passing
of time."?Washington s|>eeial of April

Discussing with the editor of The
Enquirer the proposition to change the
name of the town of Yurkville to York,
recently, Mr. James L. Moss, a prominent
citizen who lives on the outskirts,
said he could not understand in the
first place why anybody should ever
think of such a thing, and in the second
place he thought that in a matter
like this the people of the whole county
should have a say-so. There are
many who think like Mr. Moss in the
matter.
The name of Hickory Grove was
changed a few years ago to "Hickory."
The thing was not done at the instance
of the people; but by a cranky postal
official who sought to distinguish himself
by wholesale vandalism in shortening
up names of towns throughout
the country. The Hickory Grove people
did not like the change at all, and
they soon found no end of annoyance
in the miscarriage of their mail, freight
and the like. At last when there was
a change in the administration, the
name of the town was changed back to
Hickory Grove. If they should try a
"get together" gag out at Hickory,
Grove for the purpose of trying to
change the name, somebody would regret
the move.
There is more home mixing of fertilizers
throughout York county this
year than ever before in the history
Df cotton production. Generally the
farmers are using 16 per cent acid and
7j per cent cotton seed meal. The
common Droportion is two tons of
acid to one ton of cottonseed meal,
which Rives an analysis of approximately
10J per cent acid, 2J per cent
;immonia and 65-100 per cent potash.
This mixture is beinR produced at a
cost of approximately $17.50 a ton,
against $23 per ton commercial goods
analyzing 8-2J-1. Potash is now worth
$125 a ton, and very little is being
used, mainly because of the price,
rather than because o:l the advice of
the agricultural department and Clemson
college, that it is unnecessary.
It is a fact that many of the farmers
are resorting to the mixture described
above more because of its cheapness
than because of their faith in it; but
most of the recognized experts say
that the results are going to be so
satisfactory thut home mixing will become
more popular in the future.
YORK VS. YORKVILLE.
The town council has published a
notice calling an election to be held on
Tuesday, May 25, on the question of
changing the name of the town of
Yorkville from Yorkville to York.
At the same time and place, and under
the supervision of the same set
of managers, Yorkville school district
will elect two trustees of the Graded

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS
Court of common pleas for the spring
term, has been moving along rapidly
all the week without the slightest indication
of a breakdown, and will
hardly adjourn before tomorrow afternoon.
When The Knquirer went to press
last Tuesday, the court was engaged
in the case of W. K Hill vs. P. B.

of a note of which they were the
endorsers. The jury found for the defendants.
The case of G. C. l^eech vs. C. S.
Moorehead, the plaintiT alleging libel,
was compromised out of court, the
defendant agreeing to retract certain
statements which he is alleged to have
made and paying the sum of $25 toward
costs of the plaintiffs action.
The jury retuned a verdict for the
defendant in the case of the SrnoakBrown
company vs. Wallace.
In the case of Bert Nivens vs. Waddy
Thompson, colored, in which the
plaintiff sought to recover property
given him by the defendant under a
mortgage covering the payment of a
horse, the jury found for the defendant
in the sum of $85.
The next case to engage the attention
of the court was that of the
Shannon-Smarr company of Sharon,
against R. W. Hope, the plaintiff asking
judgment against the defendant
for alleged non-payment of an accourt
The jury found for the plaintiff
in the sum of $358.78.
The court is now engaged in the
trial of the case of Edna E. Land
against J R. McGarter et ah, the suit
involving title to a lot of land in
King's Mountain township.
RECORD OF RAINFALL
Mr. B. I. Walker of Clover No. 3, has
handed The Enquirer a record of rain
fall that he has been keeping from and
including U?02. He explained that he
had no it ecu rate rain gauge, but uses
an ordinary tin can, open at the top
and the same size all the way to the
bottom. He has measured the various
rains at the end of each twenty-four
hours period and kept the record in
the white space around the dates of
his calendar. The statement that he
brings The Hn?|uirer, gives the total
rainfall of each year up to July 1, in
the first column and the aggregate for
the year in another. His statement,
while probably not absolutely accu
rate as to inches, because of the inadequacy
of the gauge, ought certainly
to show the proportionate rainfall of
one year as compared with another.
It is as follows:

HERNOON VS. WAROLAW
In its summary of supreme court
decisions, the Columbia State of yesterday,
gives the following statement
of facts involved in the recently decided
case of R. J. Herndon vs. J. Q.
Wardlaw:
R. J. Herndon, claimant, respondent,
vs. J. G. Wardlaw as receiver of
York cotton mills, defendant-appellant,
in re Stevens, Sanford and Jordan,
plaintiffs, vs. York cotton mills,
defendant.
Herndon advanced to York cotton
mills $6,000 and received from it 60
shares of its preferred stock of the
par value of $6,000, the transaction
being evidenced by two writings as
follows: To R. J. H., "We agree to
take $6,000 from you, say, on April
25, May 25 and June 24, 1910, to issue
you preferred stock bearing interest
at 7 per cent, payable semi-annually.
It being understood that after the expiration
of one year, if so desired by
you, and after due notice, that we will
reimburse you for the amount or
continue the transaction upon the
same terms as at present, viz.: to pay
you an additional 1 per cent, per annum
on $6,000, which shall begin
upon the issue of the stock. I consent
to the above. R. J. Herndon.
J. G. Wardlaw, Pt."

Thirty days prior to July 1, 1911.

stock on July 1, 1911. Held that H.
was a creditor and that the stock was
only taken and held by him as collateral
security.
Before Judge J. W. DeVore, York.
Affirmed.
A creditor's bill was filed against
York cotton mills and a receiver appointed.
On notice to creditors to
come in and prove their claims,
H. presented a claim for $6,000 with
interest and relied upon the writing
hereinabove set out. The receiver
contended that H. was not a creditor,
but had paid $6,000 for 60 shares of
preferred stock and was therefore a
stockholder. This contention being
overruled by the circuit court, the
receiver appealed.
The opinion of the supreme court
by D. E. Hydrick, A. J., affirmed the
decision of the circuit court.

and Gage concurred. E. B. Gary,
chief justice, disqualified.

? The home of Mr. and Mrs. J. M.
Starr of Yorkville, was the scene of a
very pretty wedding Tuesday evening,
when their eldest daughter, Miss
Mary, became the bride of Dr. S. K.
Lowry of Yorkville. To the notes of
the wedding march, played by Miss
Frances Burgess on the piano, accompanied
by Miss Ola Allison on the violin,
the wedding party entered the
parlor, where the young couple were
made husband and wife by Rev. Dr.
E. E. Gillespie, the double ring ceremony
being used. The wedding party
was led by the ushers, Dr. P. W. Hunter
and Mr. C. A. Boney, who were
followed by the ring bearers, little
Miss Pauline Moore and Master
Tscharner DeGraffenreid. They were
followed by the bridesmaids, Misses

were the recipients of many beautiful
wedding presents. They are residing
in the Laws cottage on Lincoln street.
? There is not a town in South Carolina
whose streets present a more
beautiful appearance at this time of
year than do those of Yorkville. The
elm trees are wearing their dress of
green which appears to be even more
beautiful than ever this year. So extensive
are the tree branches along
both sides of Main street that at many
points they meet and form a beautiful
canopy overhead. With the coming of
spring have appeared the usual number
of birds. My lord and lady cat
bird have returned for the spring season
and are now busily engaged in
erecting their spring and summer
homes, and during the early morning
and late afternoon they fill the air
with their sweet music. The saucy
biue jay has also arrived and the feud
which has been going on between him
and the lord and lady cat bird from
time immemorial is again in full
swing. The pretty red cardinal has
been seen, has also the yellow hammer
and the thrush. A few red head
woodpeckers have taken up their
abode in Yorkville as is evidenced by
the freshly drilled holes in a number
of valuable trees, and if one happens
to be on the outskirts of the town
about the time of sunset or maybe a
little later, he may hear the call of
the whip-poor-will. In the small
streams around Yorkville, the bullfrog's
rumble can be heard?a sure
evidence that the cold weather is
past, since the old fellow would never
dare raise his voice in such manner
were he not sure that he can now in
comfort, lay upon the stream banks
and bask in the sun. In gardens
surrounding, apple, peach and pear
trees are in bloom, various early vegetables
are nearly ready for use and
in short, every sign points to the fact

Settled Out of Court.
The case of Black vs. School Dis
trlct No. 50, which was on the calendar
for trial this week, was settled out
of court. The case arose out of a misunderstanding
with reference to the
maintenance of Oakley school, along
with the Mt. Holly school In the same
district. Mr. John Stultz claimed to
have received authority from the

General Summary of War Activities
All Along the Line.
Glowing accounts of the strength
and condition of the British army
and of the great increase in the output
of munitions, which it is expected,
next month will amount to 25
times what it was last September,
given by David LJoyd-George chancellor
of the exchequer, end Harold J, Tennant,
parliamentary secretary of the
war office, in the house of commons,
have increased enthusiasm and confidence
of the people of England in the
war.
Supplementing the statement of the
chancellor, that Great Britain has
more than thirty-six divisions of
troops on the continent and that the
output of munitions has increased
enormously, Mr. Tennant, speaking on
behalf of the secretary of war, Lord
Kitchener, declared that recruiting
had been most satisfactory and grati
fying; that the health of the troops
was splendid, and that the wounded
were in the London hospitals twentyfour
hours after they were stricken in
France. He wished to impress on the
country the necessity of increasing
the supplies of artillery ammunition,
adding: "There is no limit to the
amount required."
The frankness of the cabinet ministers
in making known the number of
men at the front, and the reports that
reach London from various sources,
have convinced the people that at last
the big effort against Germany and
Turkey is about to commence. Both
In the Aegean and North seas there
are signs of increasing activity. From
today all steamboat communication
with Holland is stopped by order of
the British government.
Taken in connection with the news
from Berlin that British submarines
have been in the Bight of Heligoland,
where the German admiralty lays
claim to have sunk one, and perhaps
more, this is believed to foreshadow
some movement in the North sea;
while there is no longer any endeavor
to hide the fact that a big AngloFrench
force is prepared to go, as
General O'Amande, the French commander
has said, "to any point where
it is required."
A German report says that part of
this force which is under command of
Gen. Sir Ian Hamilton, has been landed
at Enos, a Turkish town near the
Turko-Bulgarian border on the northern
side of the gulf of Saros, under the
support of the allied fleet. At the same
time there is news of transports loaded
with troops passing the island of
Jutomoa not far from the entrance to
the Dardanelles, and of others being
sighted off Smyrna on the coast of
Asia Minor.
This makes it uncertain where the
blow is to be struck. There are
Anglo-French troops in the Aegean
sea, including Senegalese, who were
transferred from France, and British
"Tommies" from the outposts of the
empire, which, with the disappearance
of the last German raiders, are considered
safe from attack.
F'arther east, in Mesopotamia, the
Turkish army sent to bar the British
advance from the head of the Persian
gulf, after having suffered 6,000 casualties,
is in full retreat, harrassed not
only by the British but by the Arab
tribesmen, whom they had enlisted on
their side, and who. now that the
Turks have been defeated, have turned
against them.
Nearer home the British are holding
tenaciously to Hill 60, near the
Ypres, which they captured from the
Germans Saturday, and which the
Germans since have been trying to retake.
The French are pressing hard
on the two sides of the German triangle
in the Woevre.
The Russians, according to their accounts,
are repulsing repeated Austrian
attacks southeast of Lupkow pass
in the Carpathians and are holding
their own against the Austro-German
efforts on their flanks near Gorlice in
western Galacia and Stry, in the eastern
part of the same province. These
attacks apparently are being made
