A thing may be ever so costly but you can find something like it some where that is still more costly. There Is a man who claims to excel in some are, but there is another some where who can beat him. A man claims to be strong, but it is possible to find a stronger man. Some men are learned but you can find others who know more, and still others who know more than them So it is really nothing in this world but a series of trying and trying from morning until night, and from early youth to old age, to excel something that has been done, and those who come after it s certain, will be found trying to make still another improvement. So it goes down through the ages of time and it will go on forever. SHOULD ASSURE i NEUTRAL'S SAFETY Germany May Be Asked to De-i fine Measures to be laken . MISUSE OF OUR FLAG Washington Awaits Report on Latest Phases of War Situation. The German declaration of a war zone around the British Isles and the hoisting of the American flag on the British liner Lusitania continued to be j topics of widespread comment in of- j ficial and diplomatic quarters in Wash | j ington last week and the receipt of I the German memorandum from Ambassador Gerard and a report on the Lusitaia incident from Ambassador Page were eagerly awaited. Until ! these were received the Washington government will take no action in the matter. The situation as a result of the Gerj man declaration and the Lusitaania incident was up for discussion be) tween President Wilson and his eai. . I binet. It was understood that folI lowing the conference, formal inquii es would be instituted to ascertain 1 what steps the German naval commanders would take to protect neutrals traveling on merchant ships and ; for information as to the use of American flags by British ships gener! ally. Prospects that the prescriptions of the war zone and the use of the neutral flag by war vessels as a stratagem of war may endanger lives of i Americans whose right to travel on | neutral ships in war times, it is understood will be vigorously defended I by the Washington government. Ofi ficials are said to view this phase of the situation with much concern. C alls it an Afterthought. The French press declared that the paragraph in the German memorandum to the United States declaring Germany's naval forces had been instructed to abstain as far as possible from damaging neutral ships did not appear in the original text published in the Berlin Reiehs Anzeiger. The French papers consider that no matter what apparent restrictions may be added to the navy operations, the document constitutes an intolerable Gnvmnn m nnypn < a unnft'olo TKo opinion is expressed that Washington will protest to Berlin. (ireece Speaks out. In response to a notification from Germany of its declaration of a war zone about the British Isles, Greece sent to Berlin a note insisting that her rights be respected. Referring to the German declaration that English vessels were using neutral flags the government contends that Greece can not be held responsible for the acts of other nations. The government intimates that (ireece expects her ships will continue to enjoy the guarantees provided by international law, especially those in the declaration of London. Tobacco farmers have planted their plant beds carefully this year from what we can learn, and there is every indication of a heavy crop. Warehouses will be plentiful at which the crop may be sold. The grading bill failed to pass the Legislature.
