TWO GERMANS HOPE FOR I). S. WAR IN MEXICO Think It Will Cut Off American Supply to Allies BELIEVE JAPAN HAS AN INTEREST Reports Persistent of Sympathetic Bond Between East and West. A dispatch Id The New York Sun from Berlin via Amsterdam says: All Germany awaits with eager exp.ecta- j tion the developments of the American-Mexico crisis. The news received here of what is happening and of how far the crisis has shaped itself toward the brink of war is of course meager. A brief message from New York was received here by way of London and Amsterdam yesterday to the .effect that the National Guard of all the States of America had been calle I out. It would he folly to conceal that nothing would Iv hailed with greater Joy throughout the German empire than the word that war has broken out between the United States and her southern neighbor. Two principal reasons are at the basis of this, one is practical, the other sentimental: 1. It is taken for granted here that the minute the United States engaged in a war with Mexico the shipments to the allies of arms and ammunition as well as supplies, would be forthwith reduced to a considerable extent, if not stopped altogether. 2. The inherently human desire for "revenge." In Germany it has been claimed for months?unofficially as well as officially?that if the alli.es were to be suddenly cut off from the American shipments of arms and ammunition Germany would win the war in less than a quarter of a year. War with Mexico, it is argued, would compel the United States to keep its own arms and munitions and probably would gr.eatly reduce its whole export trade, the sole beneficiaries of which ( have be/?.n throughout, the war. the . ? ?w " " " 7 " allies. "Will Japan Do Anything?" As regards the German viewpoint concerning the trouble between the United States and Mexico, the question to which the greatest significance is attached is: "Will Japan do anything ?" Mistakenly or not the belief has prevailed here for many months and has been voiced from time to time in j responsible organs that Japan has a guiding hand in the defiant Mexican attitude. When Washington dispatches recently brought excerpts from the challenging note sent by Gen Carranza to the State Department of the United States it was this "fine Japanese hand" that was seen by press and public here in the astonishing policy of the Mexican de facto govern ment, for it was argued, and is argued now, that Mexico would never have dared assuming this attitude were it not relying upon outside aid. Such aid, it is further pointed out, could come only from one side?Japan. That country, according to the German view, could select no more appropriate moment for the realization of its long fostered dream to seize the supremacy of the Pacific than this time when Europe is con- I cerned with herself, powerless to intervene on .either side, and when the United States has not yet carried our its program of preparedness. The "Envoy to Tokio." An amazing intimation was made to the correspondent tonight in a private conversation with an official 0" the foreign office, who f<T obvious reasons can not be quoted. He called attention to an El Paso dispatch, printed in the New York and Chicago papers on April 15, to the effect that Gen. Ramon Iturbe, formerly commander of the Mexican troops in Sinaola, h;id passed through El Paso en route for Japan on an "official mission." The inevitable interference left by the official was of course, that when Carranza's impertinent note threatening recourse to arms was delivered in Washington Gen. Iturbe had had ample time reach Tokio and dispose of his " Cficial mission," and that he had sent '"encouraging" news to Mex'co City, which resulted in the Car STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST TO ALL SOUTH CAROLINA PEOPLE Acts of the last legislature of South Carolina will be distributed to county officers and others who are to receive them on July 15.

Among the telegrams received from military men offering their services to the state was the following from Capt. Monroe C. Willis of York, for many years quartermaster of the j First regiment and one of the most! popular soldiers in this state. Capt. Willis stated: "1 request an assignmnet in the quartermaster department with South Carolina troops for duty anywhere." Before leaving the city for Spartan burg, Governor Manning sent a special request to the adjutant-general regarding the health of the proposed camp for the state troops. His executive order is as follows: 1. In preparing camp for mobilization National Guard leave no stone unturned looking to the health and comfort of the men.

Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumoling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which i is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Among the mass of literature on international questions and the war put forth during recent months is a pamphlet which had been widely quoted by German newspapers, entitled "The Japanese Peril for China, America and Europe." In it occur the following paragraphs: "The Japanese glances are wistfully cast across the Pacific to America. Whether ethnologically and anthropologically tenable or not, for decades I the most popular theory preached in Japan is that the Japanese are descendants of the old Mexicans, who v/ere subjugated by the Spanivds. "In the recent Mexican troubles Jal pan made untirincr efforts to manifest 1 her sympathies to the Mexicans, particularly so when United States troops occupied Mexican territory (Vera Cruz). Japan will make her influence felt in Central and South America, at the .expense of the United States."
