IF ANOTHER WORM) WAR In a very lucid-newsjmper article, JumcH T. Williams, Jr., originally of Greenville, said: "To be neutral in another European wur the United .Slater must have the po^yyyr to enforce neutrality on lurid ami heu and in the air. This j>ower the United States lacks today hecause congress in recent years has refused to provide for the national defense either afield of afloat." When Woodrow Wilson, who had won re-election by the slogan, "Jle kept us out of war," decided to put this country in tl>e world war as an 4 associate of the allied powers fig-hting Germany, all the forces of propagan- J da were brought to bear to inflame public hatred of Germany and ?o ?u?tain the administration in its momentous decision. While passion was rife, no consideration was given to ? the why of our being in the world i war, a struggle which in no way con-' * earned this country. h That "Why?" has often been ask- * ed since the treaty of Versailles and t the passage of susequent years. Few : fail to realize now that we would not ^ have been hurt, had we kept out of that war, regardless of who won it, ? All we got out of it was huge ex- < pense for waging our part in it, hu- ( ger expenses for ensuing pensions, ' many dead soldiers, many porman- \ ently crippled citizens and a let-down of the -general character of our cili- [ zenship. Oh, yes, we got something else, the | hatred of the nations we saved. With ] un para 11 el led generosity we scaled , both the face of their solemn prom- 1 ises to repay and the interest rates 1 those promises bore. t A candidate for office was told that 1 a certain person hated him and was fighting his candidacy. Alter a mo- * ment's reflection, the candidate said: ' "I cannot understand why that man hates me. I have never done anything for him." That candidate re- , voaled a deep understanding of hu- , man nature. So, the nations of j Kurope hate us for doing something < for them, for saving them with men J and money. 1 Phere is another trait of human nature at play also in arousing Europe's * hat red of us. If a man do you dirt, you may lie big enough to overlook and continue to have a kindly toleiarue .for that man but liis knowledge .'.."tt he has d'?ne you dirt will make hi hate you. The nations of Kurope i- it nave repudiated their debts to.1 11- kt;o\\ that trey have been guilty ' : :';r hase.-t of ingrat itude. They r.a.e done u< dirt and therefore, in , aeon-dance with that trait of human ] nature, they hate us far worse for ] having done us dirt than we hate 'them for their baseness. < "But. coming back to that impera- ' live "Why?" the explanation is that ( we went into that war because we ' were un p re pa red. to protect our l ights as a neutral power. We tame- < ly submitted to Kng land's denial of those rights ami then joined the war . I on Gernaftiy' when s-he was forced to , copy Kngland's disregard of our 1 rights as a neutral. Had Germany 1 and England known that we were fully prepared to defend our rights ' as a neutral nation, neither would 1 have invaded them. : As the war clouds gather more and 11101 e black above Euiwpe, the ques- ' lion is often asked: "Will we be J d: aw n into it ii another general war be started in Europe?" The unthink- ing an.-wt-r: "No. We have learnt , our lesson." We have not learnt it. < j As iike causes produce like, effects, in 1 va-e o! another war in Kurope we will ]>i ohably be drawn into it because wo l;i <" ' o belter prepared today to de; < ml our ngnt- as neutrals than we I Were in August. Pol l, when the world jwar started. The hundred- of million.-, if not billions, we have spent [on pw'ding weed-, raking leaves and i'.tei .-imt.ariy trivial project.- would have given us aid and water fleets sceond to none and if the ('. ('. C, boys had been put in the army, it would have had equal effect in reducing unemployment, would have ' given them better training ami would have given this country an adequate 1 army for enforcement of its rights 1 as a neutral nation in case of another war in Kurope and its temptations to again over-ride our rights as a ; neutral nation. -"^ s Nero fiddled while Rome burnmi. mrngress plays peanut politics and neglects such provision for the ! national defense as would make any ' nation or combination of nations ' afraid to trample again on our rights as a neutral nation, no matter what 1 the vicissitudes or necessities of a , world war in which they might be- . come engaged.?Greenville Observer. "Huey's Man" Run Out Sparta, Ga., May 1.?Rev. Gerald K. Smith, national organizer for Senator Huey Long's "Share-Our-Wealth Society," was not allowed to speak on the streets here this afternoon. Each time he attempted to address the crowd his voice was drowned out by the noise of automobile horns and jeers from the crowd. After several attempts, Rev'. Smith climbed down off his speaking truck and appealed to the mayor. He was later ordered out of the city by Sheriff Bob Wiley, and ho lost no time in leaving. Desperate Convicts Escape From Gang Two of the most desperate convicts it the chain gang camp made their sscape from the local camp just beore midnight 'Sunday and are now it large. Tom Truesdale, who escap*1 on two former occasions, and Earl Withers, serving a twenty-live year erm for murder escaped by unloosenng a section of the steel floor of heir cage. Sheriff Blackmon was notified shortly after the escape and he cnleavored to get in touch with offi ers and citizens on all roads loadng out of the county but as yet no trace of the men has been found, rhe only clue that the officers have o work on is the general direction vhich they believe the convicts took. It is believed that the convicts had >een busy for some time as two bolts lad been pried loose from the end i)f the steel iloor. The floor was rather rusty and at this end they were able to get the bolts loose so .hat they could raise a section of the loor. Tom Truesdale was captured after lis last break about three weeks ago. Flo is known to be a dangerous man md officers 'believe that he will shoot t out with them if he is cornered. Earl Withers, the other escaped convict, was .serving a twenty-five /ear term for killing his father-inaw\ Truesdale was serving three and >ne-half years for stabbing Charlie Williams after being caught in the let of stealing goods at the store of li. C. Moore <& Sons.?Lancaster S'evvs. World's Largest Ranch Broken Up At !a<t the greatest single real ?-snte tract under private owner-thin in he world is to be broken up ar.d di. id< d among the heirs of its former Avner. Ij is tiie famous King ranch n Texas, comprising 1,200,000 acres, arger than the state of Rhode Island. This vast estate was the personal empire of Captain Richard King, who lied a half-century ago. the nucleus r>f which he bought from Mexican owners in 1853. He added to his Holdings from time to time, encouraged settlers, built towns and railroads, ind raised prodigious herds of cattle. It is related that a few years ago when meat packers were very short of cattle and in the market for 20,H)0 head, a representative of the King ranch who happened to be in Chicago said he could supply them. The packers were skeptical and asked that the ranch be wired to find out whether such a large number really could be Furnished. The answer came: "Yes; 10 you want Shorthorns or HereFords?" After Captain King's death in 1885, Mrs. King managed the vast estate, with the aid of her .son-in-law, Robert J. Kleberg, for 10 years until her loath in 1025 at the age of 9-1. Kleberg died about throe years ago, hence the big ranch will be divided, md the world will probably never see its like again. !8cmo Ik'vlsHra^t Charleston, May i>. ?
