MIGHT END WAR NOW
CUTTING TIFF SUPPLIES
Of Munitions and Arms Furnish
ed by American Interests
A CONGRESSMAN DECLARES
Iowa Eepresentatitve Made Interesting
Speech in House
Last Week.'
That the United States could end
the European war by cutting off ex
port of war material was the assertion
of Representative Vollmer of
Iowa, before the House foreign affairs
committee last week. With Rep
resentative Barthholdt, he endorsed
a resolution to authorize the President
in his discretion to prohibit such exports.
"President Wilson," he said, "suspended
the embargo of export of arms
and munitions to Mexico in the interests
of true neutrality as against neu
trality on paper."
The right of Congress to impose an j
embargo, he said, was fully establish-!
cd and the only question at issue was
one of "national policy."
"1 maintain," said Representative
Vollmer, "that this resolution is in line
with the historic reputation of this nation
as the grcatcs advocate of peace.
It is not in line with that reputation
to supply the instrumcts of murder !
to Eui'Onean nntumc
"Wo are now in the position of send
ing dollars for lielgium and dum-dum
bullets for Germany."
Representative Vollmer emphatic-1
ally declared: I
"Germany cannot he beaten in this
war. Her people are united and determined
to fight to the last drop of
blood. If this war continues if will go
on and on until all the world is dragged
down to bankruptcy.
Maintain German Friendship.
"There is only one nation whose
lines of national interest are hopelessly
opposed to ours. 1 do not hesitate
to predict that Japan proposes to hold
not only Kaio Chow but the islands
of the sea which she has seized. She
desires to secure the unlimited possibilities
of the rapidly developing trade
of China as against the world. Some
day this issue must be tried out in the
Pacific and it may be to the interest of
this country to have a powerful friend
at her side."
"Do you think the German government
expects us seriously to pass such
a resolution as this?" asked Chairman
Flood.
"1 believe, and persons who have
been in Germany say," replied Representative
Volmcr, "that the Germans
look with grave displeasure on shipments
of arms to the allies."
Representative Bartholdt told the
committee that by "dollar neutrality"
the United States was alienating the
friendship of Germany and Austria.
"That friendship has been unbroken
since the beginning of this government,"
he said. "We ought to preserve
it. The alliance of Great Britain
with the yellow race is not a good
omen for our future in the Pacific
We arc now selling our neutrality for
British gold."
Mr. Bartholdt asesrted shipments of
munitions since the war began aggregated
$150,000,000.
"I am convinced," lie said, " that by
cutting off the exportation of these
war supplies we can bring the war to
a close very soon."

Washington Looing for Amicable Settlement
of Difficulties in Shipping
Situation.
While the American note to Great
tipns to the commerce of this country
continued to absorb official Washington,
there was confidence that difficulties
of the last five months eventually
would be amicably adjusted.
Alredy the discussion turned to the
measures the United States . would
take in cooperation with Great Britain
to reduce the necessity for extended
search of the high seas. It became
known that the treasury department
agents, acting with the state department,
in one case already had inspected
a cotton cargo and that the inspection
has satisfied the British embassy
and facilitates progress of the shipment
to its destination.
The belief was held early last week
in official quarters that an understand
inp: might be reached whereby cargoes
could be certified before their departure
and thus made immune from detention.
High officials of the Washington
government were somewhat surprised
the American note had been regarded
as ''brusque" in some London quarters.
They said the British cabinet
after a single reading of the document
spmust be convinced that the United
States had spoken in the most friendly
spirit, though none the less earnest
ly and emphatically.
Those familiar with the contents of
the note said it is a matter of fact and
frank state ment of the difficulties experienced
by American shippers and
the failure of the British govc rnment
to meet the protests which had been
made.
In all, it became known 30 Amcris
can ships and cargoes , their value totaling
millions, had been detained.
The note pointed out specifically, however,
that reimbursement alone can
not euro the situation, as tho British
porters, who feared risks involved in
\ shipments. ,
With respect to cotton shipments,
the case of one or two illegitimate
i cargoes, it was recognized, has caused
the British government to suspect all
shipments.
' The United States had no evidence
that there had been contraband concealed
in cotton cargoes, but England
made two specific complaints and the
American government issued a warning
that one fraudulent shipment
must produce embarrassment to cargoes
generally.
Secretary Bryan declined to give
any details. He described it as a general
statement summarizing the Amor
ican position in several specific cases.
; Neutral diplomats were not given a
copy of it, but were informed that the
first newspaper report of it was accurate.
They were told that the state
department still regarded the note as
confidential, the American government
itself having not authorized its
publication in part or in whole.

| The State.
How the self-sacrifice of six French
bluejackets made possible the capture
of St. Georges, less than two miles
from Nieuport, is described by The
Matin's correspondent in Flanders. He
says:
"The attackers had driven the Germans
from the advance trenches, but,
taking refuge in the houses in the village,
the Germans soon placed their
assailants in a difficult position. The
situation of a force of Belgians iso1
lated on a strip of land surrounded by
I a flood became critical and the artilj
lory alone was able to affect anything
against the enemy. The British batteries
at Ramscappelle tried, but theii
shells burst over the French.
"Six bluejackets then hoisted a
three inch gun on a large punt and
poled along the canal behind the village,
running the gauntlet of the German
rifles. One was hit, another took
the pole and continued until he in
turn fell stricken. The sixth man was
x 11 * * - -
rnorcany wounded, as, with a last push
he sent the punt to the bank, where
the French advance guard was waiting.
"The gun was quickly landed and a
few shots at 300 yards brought,- the
houses on top of the Germans, who re
treated into the arms of a battalion of
Belgians. The later ?ompleted the
enemy's rout.
"Meanwhile the French column
triumphantly took possession of the
heap of ruins which was formerly St.
Georges, and before night the engineers
had established a bridgehead,
enabling the allies' artillery to debouch
on the right bank of the Yser."

He said Philippine politicians, "who
love to fish in troubled waters," are
in favor of immediate independence,
that the "vocal" sentiment of the islands
was in favor of it, but the predominating*
real sentiment was opposed
to it.
Mr. Worcester was asked for his
views as to what would happen if independence
was granted within the
next three or four years.
"Quarrels for office would spring up
in the first instance," he replied. "The
elections would soon become farces.

TIME HAS HE FA EXTENDED FOE
Faying 191 I Taxes.
Comptroller General Extends Time
I'ntil February 1st Fnder Law.
Columbia, S. C., Jan. 1.?A. W.
Jones, Comptroller General, lias extended
the time for the collection of
j taxes, without penalty, until Febru:
ary 1, 191a. The order was approved
| by the Governor.
The extension order was issued under
the power conferred upon the com
ptroller gencrel, with the approval of
the governor, in section 7(>7 of volume
1, code of laws of South Carolina.
A telegram has been addi'essed by
the comptroller general to the county
treasurers of the State announcing
the extension order. The final date
for the payment of taxes without penalty
was December I>1.
The State tax money has been
coming in very slowly as compared
with past years. Several days ago
S. T. Carter, State Treasurer, announ
cod that ho had sufficient funds to
moot the interest on the bonded debt
of the State government. The salaries
of the State officers have been paid
for December.
THE NEW SCIENCE OF AGRONOMY.
"Farm products cost more than they

"Yes," replied the farmer. "When 1

This nation as a whole, and almost
every State in it?this one not excepted?suffers
from too much law making.
Senator Root told the American
Bar Association that in five years
1909 to 1911> inclusive, Congress and
the State Legislatures passed (>2,014
laws. No one knows how many
thousands of laws w ore in force before i
1909, but the (12,(114 new ones repealed
many of those previously in force, and
amended many more, with no end of
resulting confusion. Relatily few of
the laws are vicious enough to work
