Over Prospects For Peaceful
Outcome of German

MOTE LEAVES OPEN
THE WAY OF PEACE
Another Note Soon Sent Britain
and Allies as to
$ I
Blockade.

Optimism?more pronounced than
it has been since the diplomatic corresponse
with Germany over the1
sea zones of war began?was mani-;
fest in official quarters her over the]
prospects for a peaceful outcome of:
the pending- controversy between Germany
and the United States.
The American note presented to the
"Merlin foreio-n n f'-Tir>,* < ? v... \ ?
?. v . w Vi-i-ivv V. I c . V U \ III" ,
bassaclor Gerard was interpreted on
all sides as deci ledly friendly and leaving;
the way open to a satisfactory j
solution with honor to both sides. Othcials
made it clear that the note purposely
had been phrased so as to reiterate
the earnestness of the United
States with respect to the principles'
of humanity and international law, |
and at the same time to affu Gov
many an opportunity with digr. y to
make her practice square with the
principles expressed.
It was officially stated today that a
note soon would bo sent to Great Hritian
and her allies insisting; on a
change in the operation of a blockade
conducted by them so as to conform j
with the principles of international
law forbidding interference with trade
:
in non-contraband articles passing to
and from a belligerent country
through a contiguous neutral country, i
This, \( generally was believed, would j
be an important factor in convincingl
the German government that the Uni-j
ted States would maintain the same j
vigorous position on the fundamentals i
in the international law with respect
to the Allies as has been the case in
the American correspondence with
Germany.
Is Wilson's Intention.
The statement issued tonight by
"William Jennings Bryan revealed that
while the Secretary of State, Mr. Bryan
favored the sending of a note urging
prompt adherence of the Allies to
the request of the American note of
March 30 to Great Britain and France
concerning the order in council. Mr.
Bryan disclosed that the President had
differed with him as to the time when
the note would be sent, but that the
intention to send such a communica- 1
tion was fixed.

of the American note ' rono-la mi* ->' -

variety of predictions and views as to
the manner in which Germany would ]
reply. There was a general feeling
of confidence, however, that Germany
would accept some of the several avenues
of approach purposely included j
in the note by the American govern- t
ment so as to make possible a friendly (
settlement.
Much importance was attached to ^
the statement of the willingness of (
the United States to exercise its good i
offices as between the belligerents in
any attempt to come to any understanding
"by which the character and ^
Conditions of the war upon the sea it
may be changed." This, it was bcliev- '
ed, in many quarters, might result in a! j(
correspondence that might ultimately |~
lead to peace negotiations. r
It was learned, too, that copies of \
the American note to Geramny had r

sies at London, Paris, Petrograd and i\
Home for the information of the am-jo
bassadors there, and that copies would j
be deposited with the respective for- v
eign offices at those capitals. t
This procedure enables Great Brit- r
ain and her allies to take cognizance r
of the virtual invitation of the United
States to the belligerents to make sug- i
gestions affecting maritime warfare ^
and it is suggested that out of it may t
grow a modus vivendi or temporary t
arrangement whereby the rights of
neutrals to belligerents would not be c
given up during the progress of the v
war, but changes affected as to mit- c
igate the terrors of the conflict and t
afford safety to non-combatants and e
neutrals on the high seas. t
The resignation of Mr. Bryan be- v
cause he believed the note to Germany
might lead to hostilities is a factor
which high officials here regard as
likely to have an important influence *
on the situation in Berlin because he s

1 "Datl's Daughter." \
One of the happiest women in the
| South today is "Dad's Daughter," as ,
Miss Jessica R. Smith is known, and .
the cause of her happiness is found |
in the long-delayed official recogni- j
tion of the claims of her father, Maj. t ^
Orrcn Randolph Smith, as the designor
of the first flag of the Confederate
States. The pity of it is that Major
Smith did not live to see the acknowledgment
of this honor, so long but
so unavailingly contested. Major
Smith's daughter took up the fight in ^
j his behalf and prosecuted it persistlently
and confidently. She has won
a great honor for the memory of her ^
father, and a no less honor for the |
State of North Carolina, whose peoi
plo as* a whole will share with her
happiness in the glory she has
brought both to herself and to them.

RAGSDALE AT McCOLL
Sixth District Congressman Delivers
Commencement Address.
Tuesday morning, June 1, Messrs
0. E. Exum, T. C. Hamer, J. J. Evans
md the writer enjoyed a pleasant
ride over to McColl in Mr. Exum's
lew car, for the purpose of hearing
Hon. J. W. Ragsdale's speech at the
dose of the McColl High School.
Fields of ripening grain, growing cotton
and corn, as well as rain drenched
ands were seen and should the rains
continue the grass situation will l?n
onie serious.
Mr Ragsdale is the able congressnan
representing the sixth district of
South Carolina in the national congress,
Marlboro county being a part
)f the sixtli district. All who heard
he splendid speech were delighted
ind felt a just pride in their able
epresentative. Mr Uagisdale left
Washington Monday night, arriving
11 McColl a short time before the
ipeaking hour. The new town hall in
he Odum block is a good auditorium,
veil provided with opera where quite
i large audience assembled to hear
he speaking. Hon. D. L. McLaurin in
m appropriate and complimentary
alk introduced Mr. Uagisdale who
vas received with great applause. The
peech was practical commonsense,
nstructing and educatinu*. havino- inct
.... (->
eft Washington, Mr. Ragsdalo inteligcntly
and with authority discussed
he i>rescnt international complicaions
involving Germany and the
he United State s and suggested what
10 believed would be the result of the
abinet meeting, and Germany's
oursc ultimately. r! nc speaker vividy
aim ciOqucatiy ivviowod contiit'OiiS
n the South during the past iifty
rears and attributed the fact that
Southern men were now at the head
mil leaders in many of the National
lepartmont leaders in thought, and
diapers of policies of the United
States; to the trained imparted by
rue, pious and patriotic mothers of
he South.
The speaker declared that tho pro- ^
luccrs of cotton in the Southern
Stai< s must adopt the system of
varehousing their cotton, control the
narketing, and dictate prices. He also
idvocat&d rural credits with governnent
aid, which would directly beneit
the farmers, and stated that he advocated
such a law and would coninue
to contend for it. These posi- L
ions seemed to be fully endorsed by
ivory one present.
The speech from start to finish was
in ideal educational discourse and
vas highly appreciated by an appreiative
audience, as was evidenced by
U~ r
in.: i requent applause accorded the
.pcaker, Mr. Ragsdale paid a glowng
tribute to President Wood row
Wilson, and referred to General Dan- V
el C. Roper, first assistant postmaser
general, in most complimentary
erms. He is a native of Marlboro
bounty. Everybody complimented the
?peech for indeed it was the best an<l
no^t appropriate for a school heard
n a long time. Mr. Ragsdale remained
over in McColl for the graduating
exercises Tuesday night and returned f
o his home in Florence Wednesday
norning.
