"After 20 years in business at the
old stand, Ripley. Rant is being sold
out by the sheriff today to the highest
bidder," said the landlord of the
Petunia tavern. "You see, Rip's
jo* theory of thet art of running a groeery
store was to outyell all comers.
His other idee was that the customer
was always wrong. If he hadn't got
what the customer wanted the durn
customer ort to want what Rip had,
and if he didn't like it he could git
out.
"Customers disturbed him a good
deal anyhow by insisting on being
waited on when he wanted to argue
with some of his cronies about the
burning issues of the day. He knew

almost everymmg aooui everyimng,
knew it in tones of thunder, and
knew most of it wrong.
"Frinstance, he knew how General
" Pershing ort to proceed in whipping
the Germans and when he did exactly
the opposite and yet whipped 'em
to a quivering custard old Rip was
^ almost as mucbxflisgusted with the

/ He preferred convincing a man
} against his will to selling him a big
bill of goods, and if the customer was
^ convinced quick enough he could get
anything in the store on credit. So
the sheriff is closing him out today,
and Rip doesn't seem to know how it
happened."

PALESTINE AS IT IS.
Land Chosen of God to Teach Human
Race.
Of peculiar timeliness, because of
widespread American interest in the
future of Palestine, is a communication
to the National Geographic society
from Viscount James Bryce,
former British ambassador to the
United States.
The historic Holy Land, released
from deadly Moslem domination, may
take its piace among me prosperous
and even populous" civilized
states of today, he states, if administered
by "a government which
should give honest administration,
repress brigandage, diffuse education,
irrigate the now desolate, because
sunscorched, valley of the lower Jordan
by water drawn from the upper
course of the river."
A part of Viscount Brvce's communication
follows: "Palestine is a
tiny little country. Though the traveler's
handbooks prepare him to find
it small, it surprises him by being
smaller than he expected. Taking it
as the region between the Mediterranean
on the west and the Jordan
and Dead Sea on the east, from the
spurs of Lebanon and Hermon on
--x ? At. * <3 AAl/vwi A+ TD V? aVIO
rne norui lO lilts uestsi t at uccisucua
on the south, it is only 110 miles long
and from 50 to 60 broad?that is to
say, it is smaller than New* Jersey.
"Of this region large parts did n^t
really belong to ancient Israel. Their
hold on the southern and northern
districts was slight, while in the
southwest a wide and rich plain
along the Mediterranean was occupied
by the warlike Philistines, who
were sometimes more than a match
for the Hebrew armies. Israel had,
in fact, little more than the hill
country, which lay between the Jordan
on the east and the maritime
plain on?the west. King David, in
the days of his power looked down
from the hill cities of Benjamin, just
north of Jerusalem, upon Philistine
enemies only 25 miles off, on the one
side, and looked across the Jordan
to Moabite enemies about as far off,
on the other.
"Nearly all the events in the history
of Israel that are recorded in
the Old Testament happened within a
territory no bigger than the State of
Connecticut whose area is 4,800
square miles; and into hardly any
other country has there been crowded
from the days of Abraham till
our own so much history?that is to
say, so many events that have been
recorded and deserve to be recorded
in the annals of mankind.
"Nor is it only tnat Palestine is
really a small country. The traveler
constantly feels as he moves about
that it is a small country. From the
heights a few miles nprth of Jerusalem
he sees, looking northward, a
far-off summit carrying snow for 8
months in the year. It is Hermon,
whose fountains feed the rivers of
Damascus.
?
"But Hermon is outside the territory
of Israel altogether, standing in
the land of the Syrians; so, too, it is
of Lebanon. We are apt to think of
that mountain pass as within the
country, because it also is frequently
mentioned in the Psalms and the
Prophets; but the two ranges of Lebanon
also rise beyond the frontiers
of Israel, lying between the Syrians
of Damascus and the Phoenicians of
the west. Perhaps it is because the
maps from which children used to
learn Bible geography were on a
large scale that most of us have
failed to realize how narrow were
the limits within which took place an
those great doings that fill the books
of Samuel and Kings. Just in the
same way the classical scholar who
visits Greece is surprised to find that
so small a territory sufficed for so
many striking incidents and for the
careers of so many famous men."

Genealogy of the Germans.
The claim is made that the various
European nations have resulted from
a mixture of the original primitive
inhabitants with the Teutons who overran
them during the later migrations;
but that in Germany, on the
other hand, Teutons were merely
mixed with Teutons, and thus the
race here remained pure. In fact,
however, skeletons and other remains
show conclusively that there
was a race of primitive inhabitants
in Germany as well, going back as
far as the diluvial period. At the
time of the Cimric invasion and later,
T A 1 ~~~ .? - e . 'U ~
wiien iiit; sutJciLu ui mc icuiuuiv/ axugrations
burst upon them, this population
partly migrated, or at least
withdrew into the mountainous re!
gions, partly perished and partly
mingled with the newcomers. A
primitive population dwelt, here as
well as in the other European countries
at a time when the rhinoceros
and the elephant still roamed through
Europe. Even as late as the twelfth
and thirteenth centuries the French
were the more likely to be called
Germans.?Dr. G. F. Nicolai, in "The
Biology of the War."

OPERATIONS OF U-BOATS.
No Bases in America, Says German
Commander.
"Germany never had a submarine
base in America," said Captain Bartenbach,
commander of submarine
bases in Flanders during the war to
, an American correspondent in Berlin
a few days ago. "Xor did German
submarines, operating off the American
coast, have a mother ship or receive
any aid or supplies from
i shore."
!
Captain Bartenbach became identified
with the submarine service in
i Germany 13 years ago, when it was
! in its experimental stages. He com
manded the first German submarine,
the U-l. He is still in the submarine
service and has his office in the Admiralty
building in Berlin.
I asked him the first question regarding
the base of submarines in
America, because I had often heard it
argued that German U boats could
not have operated off our coast unless
supported by a nearby base or
mother ships. Capt Bartenbach said
the submarines that harried the
American coast were outfitted and
sailed from Kiel and received no supplies
on the voyage.
One submarine which visited Ameiica
was absent five months. It was
commanded by Captain Kopenhamei,
and reached America in August of
191S. It did not succeed in getting
I back to Kiel until January" of this
! year. Captain Vonnoskit, who was
off the American coast last July and
August, was away from Kiel for
three months, while another of our
unwelcome visitors was Captain
Rose.
Captain Bartenbach said the Laconia
was sunk by Captain Berger
I and the Lusitar.ia by Capt Schweiger,
! both of whom had died when then
j submarines were destroyed during
j the war.
! Captain Bartenbach said the greati
est enemy of the submarine was not
j the depth bomb, but the anchored

ble to give, but the captain said
about three U-boats were sunk by
anchored mines to every one sunk by
I
a depth bomb.
One of the most important duties
! of submarines, said the captain, was
planting anchored mines. It was an
anchored mine, planted by a German
j U-boat, he said, that sank the British
ship on which General Kitchener
I was a passenger. The mine had not
i been placed especially to sink -Kitchi
ener's ship, but because the Geri
mans made it a practice promptly to
I place mines along every new route to
I which traffic would be diverted.
| I asked Bartenbach how long the
| British tied up his operations by attacks
on Ostend and Zeebrugge.
"During the entire time of the
! war," he said, "the channel for the
] passage of German submarine boats
at Ostend and Zeebrugge was never
closed for as much as two consecutive
minutes. The British attack was
a glorious thing, done ^'ilh .splendid
audacity and dauntles&^Pbut
it was an absolute failure from a
! military standpoint. In the first attempt
at Ostend two British boats
missed the channel and went ashore,
their bones are rotting there now,
while in the second attempt the Vindictive
found the entrance to the
harbor, but was sunk almost immediately.
The wreck is still there."
I told Captain Bartenbach that
presence of an "oil slick" on the water,
after a destroyer had dropped
depth bombs, was hailed as concluusive
evidence of the destruction of
the submarine by the enemy. Tin*
captain said oil and also fresh water
was carried by submarines in the
outer sten of the boat which was
thin and would be pushed in by the
force of the explosion of the depth
bomb. The oil would be released
and would ascend to the surface and
form an "oil slick," while the U-l
boat had receive no material damage.
If the depth bomb made a clear hit
on the submarine, or exploded very
close along-side, it would of course
destroy the submarine.
The submarine captain could exercise
his judgment when making an
attack, but in case of passing a spot
full of anchored mines, he must try
to go through. If the submarine
commander saw that the attacked
ships wrere in convoy with a guard of
destroyers, he would simply submerge,
let them pass, and wait for a
boat without an escort. After leaving
his base he would not turn back
because of being afraid to go through
the mine field.
Captain Bartenbach was positive
that none of his submarine commanders
ever fired on or rammed small

.tempting to escape from the wreck.
"Any U-boat commander who did
such a thing," said the captain,
"would be courtmartialed first, for
inhumanity; second for idiocy, because
he would be wasting time and
ammunition and putting his boat
crew in jeopardy to no purpose. Some
excited people in small boats after
their ship had been struck would
sometimes declare the submarine had

A Zapata Story.
The stories they tell about him are
like those which are told of Villa,
the bandit of the north. Here is one:
Zapata demanded tribute from a rich
rancher. The fellow answered with
courtesies but no money. He woke'
up next morning with Zapata at his
front door. He found himself the
next afternoon tied to a post in the
middle of a bull pen, his body out of
reach, but his legs low enougn to oe
gored. Red cloth was tied around the
victim's legs and soldiers were set to
torturing the bull. The beast was
turned loose in the pen and saw the
red cloth on the post. Maybe you can
guess what happened. The flesh was
gored from the man's legs and he
died as he hung on the post. Zapata
had taken the rancher's wife to the
edge of the pen fcnd made her sit
there and watch the torture of her
husband.

come up near them and tried to run
them down when all the submarine
commander was after was to find out
the name of the ship he had sunk."

EAGLE ATTACKS MAX.
Farmer J. R. Wilson Had Hard Fight
Before Capturing: Bird.
j
Gaffney, May 4.?J. R. Wilson,
who manages the farm of F. H. Knox,
in Cherokee county, had an exciting
experience yesterday when he was attacked
by a black eagle, and had a
strenuous time before he succeeded
in killing the monster. Mr. Wilson
was near the river when the eagle
came out from under some timber
and made the attack upon him. He
brought it to Gaffney, where it was
weighed and measured by C. C. Kirby,
who has it now on exhibition, and
i
crowds of people have visited the I
store Friday and Saturday, as nothing
of the kind has ever been seen
in this section. It weighed 10 pounds
and measured 8 feet from tip to tip.
"Gee, whiz! Isn't that Smithson j
who just went by in his automobile? j
Whpn T knew him a few vears aeo
he had a junk shop."
"He still has. Only he moved it
to a place on a fashionable street
and labeled the same stock, 'Antiques.'

The Answer.
Our diplomats offer us a project
of a league of nations which is not
the society of nations such as was
prescribe! in the 14 points of President
Wilson. The peoples of the entire
world in their thirst for justice
acclaimed these 14 points, and we
accepted them. The French working
class, faithful to its conception of a
war on war, rises against the sabotage
of peace.
This expression of opinion does not
come from the supporters of President
Wilson in America. Xor is it the
emanation of any radical group in
Europe. It is the formal pronouncement
issued in behalf of the conservative
labor element in France when
tlio inKhorv r?f ininpria 1 i<it<s thrpntpn
ed to restore the old spoils principle
in the peace conference.
It is a sweeping answer to those
American editors who, because of a
mixture of neurotic sentimentalism
and a hatred of the president, have
been stupid enough to believe that
the voice of a few jingoes, imperialists
and corrupt politicians is the
voice of Jhe French people.?Philadelphia
