Bryan Praises This Disposition
on Part of President
Wilson
PREPAREDNESS PROVOKES
DOES NOT PREVENT
3 Says Bryan in Latest State
merit Given out on His
Resignation.
3 Asserting that the preparedness
provokes rather than prevents war
t and that the upheaval in Europe was
-> a result of the false philosophy that
^ "might makes right," former Sccretavy
Bryan in a second of his series
, of three statements on "the causeless
. war" submits an argument against
military preparation by the United
) States and praises the course of
1 President Wilson in the international
. emergency.
? "If any nation is without excuse for
entering into a mad rivalry with the
t belligerent nations in preparation for
j war it is the United States," says Mr.
I Bryan. "We are protected on either
^ side by thousands of miles of ocean
j and this protection is worth more to
. us than any number of battleships.
"We have an additional protection
r in the fact, known to everyone, that
5 we have the men with whom to form
an army of defense if we are ever
attacked; and it is known also that
. we would have the money, too.
> "The leadin participants in the
present war are the nations that were
best prepared, and I fear it would
. have been difficult for us to keep out
) of this war if we had been as well
? prepared as they.
? "Happy for our nation that we have
1 in the White House at this time a
t president who believes in setting the
old world a good example, instead of
. following the bad example which it
; sets in this matter. What an unr
speak able misfortune it would have
- been if the nation had been under the
5 leadership of a president inflamed by
. the false philosophy which has plung.
ed Europe into the abyss of war!"
, In discussing the cause of the Eu^
ropean conflict, Mr. Bryan, in a
j lengthy analysis, argues that it is no
4 war of race, religion or families, and
, declares:
"If I have correctly analyzed the
situation, tne war is tne natural result
of a false philosophy * * The
fundamental precept of the false phil^
osophy is that 'might makes right."
Leading up to his argument against
3 preparation for war by the United
States, Mr. Bryan, says:
"We dare not trust the peace of the
world to those who spend their time
in getting ready for wars that should
never come.
"How can preparedness prevent
t war if all prepare? Each step taken
I by one nation toward more complete
a preparedness excites the other nations
s to additional purchases of new levies,
T until all have exhausted their producI
tive industries and menaced their
moral progress.
y "The doctrine that preparedness
will prevent war will not stand the
I test of logic and the conflagration in
Europe shows that it falls when test.
ed by experience."
o
i. First Open Cotton Blossom.
e Mr. W. H. Lawrence, who lives near
f the Little Pee Dee, in the lower part
r of Bucks township, has the distinction
of sending to the Herald office the
first open cotton bloom of the season
of 1915. This first bloom was picked
from the field on June 16th and reacht
ed this office in the mail on the foln
lowing day. Mr. Lawrence has some
very fine cotton.

Showers Continued.
t
i. The showers of rain continued nl
y most throughout last week. From reports
reaching Conway it appears that
in some sections this rain was needed
t, and was of much benefit to the crops
t, while in some instances the farmert
found it too wet to run their plows.

EFFORTS OF POLICE
SO FAR FRUITLESS
No Capture or Information of
Robbers Having: Been Secured
as Yet.
On Friday flight last a number of
residences in Conway were robbed.

by t lio same thief. The clot lies of Mr.
(J. li. Jenkins were reposing on a chair
about .three feet from the bed on
which he slept. The man took about
$4.00 from the pockets of the pants
together with other articles. At the
residence of Mr. H. W. Ambrose his
pants were missing the next morning
I and the sum of $8.00 that he had in
| the pockets. His shirt was also gone
I This stealing was done some time in
the night while Mr. Ambrose slept.
At the residence of Mr. Charles Duscnbury
the screen at the window had
been propped up with a knife and the
room had evidently been entered, but
nothing was missed from within the
house. The bicycle of Mr. M. G. Anderson
which rested on the porch was
gone. Messages were at once sent to
" all nearby towns for the authorities
to be on the watch and it was believed
the thief would soon be caught,
j Among the things taken from the
? pockets of Mr. Jenkins was a bunch
of keys including those to a safe in
which valuables were kept. On Saty
urday it was reported from Clarendon
that a man had been arrested there
believed to be the thief, as he was riding
a bicycle and had a quantity of
keys thought to belong to Jenkins.
Messrs. Jenkins and Anderson went
^ there that afternoon with the chief of
police onlv to find that a mistake had
in
^ been made in arresting the man. The
wheel was quite a differnt one from
that owned bv Mr. Anderson and the
?r
keys were strange ones to Mr. Jenkins
IS # #
a Later the authorities went to Marion
and Mullins in the hope that
^ some trace might be found of the man
I but the party returned without any
in formation.
In the town of Marion on Saturday
le
y, night a thief entered the residence of
' the president of the bank and took
from the pockets of his clothes the
sum of $1.45. It is supposed to be the
work of the same man who committed
the robberies here.
