(Now Vork <?lol?e>
Among tlio men of (ierinan blitli
hold In rovcroiift' hy every gcmiou*
mUuhHl Aiiiorh nn who known t ho his
tory of hlH country In Johann DeKalb
t,?, hm> 0f Camden. This bravo and
hlghsouled hou of Hiiravla. wl.en he
arranged with Benjamin Franklin and
Silas Dcatie to pln<*e his military ta
ents at the disposal of the Contlnen
tal congress. was one of the few eon*
ttnentnl Kurojienns understanding the
nature of the struggle. Ho had vlslt*d
the colonies In lTtW and studied th?lr
? plrli and democratic institutions. Ho
embarked with I>a Fayette, not as an
adventurer or a mercenary, but as a
champion of a new and better world.
Me sutlldeiitly revealed himself when,
a wounded prisoner after the Camden
defeat, he turned to a IMtlsh officer
and said Juki before his death: I
thank you for your generous symlHt
thy. but 1 die the death of a soldier
lighting for the rights of man."
DeKalb was not imclilst ; he was a
militarist who valued devotion to his
ideal.* higher than his life. Hut be
tween his militarism, which looked to
tlK. oreatlon of those conditions of
justice ami equality which are the only
foundations of a sure peace, and the
militarism which is unllluminated by
moral sentiment, there Is the dlfler
enee that exists between the militar
ism of a buccaneer and of a knight er
rant. To him all soldiering was not
alike as some shallow thinkers in this
t,,uu(rv are disposed to assume. He
was of the company of Intrepid souls
NVho in all ages have deemed It m>ces
sary to tight for righteousness. So the
monuments that have boon reared to
t>cK alb's memory have their lesson for
vis I'hev Instruct us as to the way
to become true pacitlsts. and they also
inform us that If we are doing some
thing to advance the cause of humanity
and to preserve to democracy the priv
ilege of peaceful development. ?e will
be but repaying the debt created
against us when we had I of the
h(.,p of Kuropes lovers of fm-dom.
DeKall' lias a message for all Am
cleans. but he has a s^lal message
for those, like himself, born in the
Fatherland. His life exhorts them to
,vl ,-i,i of a narrow nationalism and
,o get in sympathy with the great
mission of tl.is free country. DeKalb
was not a lover of Hohenzollern prin
ciples. His supreme allegiance was to
something higher and nobler. He was
Cennan and proud of It. hut his
Cerinanlsin was not of the kind that
delights to abase itself when the kals
,.fs name is mentioned. He l>eheld the
vivion of a' better-ordered world, bot
?.r ordered not through mechanical
Obedience to masters, but through the
iter f?^ t Ion of free society. He saw the
chance of building up in the new world
:l national unity not based on blood
relationship, whether near or remote,
but on a common conception of tbo
dlgnlt v ??f mankind. expressed in insti
tutions designed in their domestic as- 1
I H^'t s to give equal opportunity to all
and in their foreign aspects to stand
for the general rights of mankind. It
is a matter for grave regret that so
many of the compatriots of Dekalb
have fallen away from his noble faitJi.

' Washington, May -I'realdent Wil
son, Secretary JLttlwUltf iUid Cot K. M.
House held a long conference at the
White llouse tonight, and it l* under
stood t<ht* submarine situation wan dls
cunaed. Secretary leasing said Inter
that ho had received ai>solutely no
Word from Herlin regarding the charac
ter of the German note, which press
dispatches said probably will In* handed
tu Ambassador Gerard tomorrow.
The President and his adviser* aro
keeping their minds open, while they
wait for the German reply. The long
delay evidently haw created a bad iiu*
I res* Ion, however, and it was authori
tatively stated today that the Uaue
would have to l>e cleared up thin week
if diplomatic relation* with Germany
were to coutinue.
The President 1m known to be unal
terably determined to adhere strictly
to the ponltlon assumed by the United
Suites In its demands that Germany
immediately declare ami effect an
abandonment of its present method* of
submarine warfare.
No proi>osal of any kind will be ac
f opted by the American Government, it
is said, unless it Includes a declara
tion of intention to stop sinking peace
ful ships at once. In finis connection
press dispatches to the cffcct that new
orders to submarine commanders would
l>e told of in the German note were
read with Interest by officials, but com
ment was withheld.
Coi. House, who discussed the subma
rine Issue with German officials while
abroad for the President several
months ago, arrived here thrts morning.
His coming to Washington was con
sidered significant l>eouuse he has taken
an active part In the German negotia
tions to date.
Ih Hhe 'the Oldest Living Woman?
S. S. Gaston, of Woodland, Miss.,
writes that probably the oldest woman
living Is Elizabeth Connor, of that
place. No one knows her age, and she
eame from South Carolina to Missis
sippi before the war. She Is known
as Granny Connor, and the nearest
anyone can come to her age is that her
great-grand-dnugliter has grandchil
dren. She now lives with her great
granddaughter's grandson, and is quite
lively for one so old. She can walk
as far as most any middle-aged woman,
and jump as high, while she Is shout
ing as she did forty years ago. The
writer says that he heard her say
when he was a boy that she was iOQ
years old. and as he 1s now 40 that
would put her age up around 130 at
leastflP^fee always lives with the last
generation until the next is old enough
to marry and raise a family, then she
moves in with them and helj>h them
raise their children until the oldest
marries and starts a home, then she
thinks it is time for her to go with
them and help them raise a family.
She is quite a remarkable old person.

of Crimson ('lover.
A p| iroxlmately 1,(MK) farmers from
(Jreenwood, Ablievllle, Anderson. Lau
rens, Kdgetield, Saluda and other coun
ties. gathered at Hodges. Greenwood
county, to s?h' wonderful transforma
tion wrought on ordinary lands by
crimson clover, the great work done
^n the past years by Hob S. Ilodges,
the ha n kef- farmer of that lit tit* town,
according to a (Jreenwood Hj>eclal of
April '27 : The meeting was planned
by \V. \V. Long, dirtH'tor of State ex
tension department, and the details ar
ranged hy O. B. Karris, county demon
stration agent of Greenwood, It was
m complete suc<*eaa in every way. The
farmers came by train, trolley, auto
mobiles, wagons and buggies. After a
practical demonstration in the big
fields, dinner was had, and after din
ner addresses were made by Bob
Hodges, \V. \V. Iiong, Deputy Directors
IJurton and Stewart These proved to
the farmers present that the clover and
other legumes are the things to en
rich South Carolina soil; that they do
ho with h?ss cost and are more last
ing than any commercial fertilizer in
the world. Mr. I?ng was of Che
opinion after the meeting that much
good had Imh?u in getting farmers to
come and see at first hand what won
derful work had been done at Hodges
by Bob Hodges. On a six horse farm'
last year Mr. Hodges used $110 worth
of fertilizer and made 15 bales of cot
ton to the horse. Hts land is ordinary
sandy land.
