Dr. Augero said: "I bring good news. I have been 14 1 years in Berlin and you can easily realize that I have been able to thor- j oughlv study the character of our enemies. Things are going badly on j the other side of the Rhine. The fa-1 cade of the imperial edifice seems solid enough from abroad, but in reality there are cracks in it." The Cuban and Guatemalan ministers left Berlin together. They were accompanied by a German colonel who never let them out of his sight, and they were not allowed to leave their train at any station on the way to the frontier. There meat and bread curds were taken from them. Dr. Aguero declared that there was no prospect of immediate improvement in the food situation in Germany.

This letter also threatens rev-| olution if the league's demand fori tweeping annexations was not met.

Ho declared that the immediate consequences of such a policy would be ( revolution and the overthrow of the dynasty. Copies of the letter were sent to the various federate governments. The chancellor replied that the letter and threat constituted a climax to that lack of political judgment which had often embarrassed the government's policy before the war, and that ^he Pan-German program could only b?' considered after all opponents had been completely crushed. The government's refusal to prerr.it the radical Socialist, Adolf Hoffmann, a member of the Prussian Diet < t,o attend the Stockholm conference I is connected with its attempt to fasten a charge of treason on him for his agitation among the workmen for a May day strike. < u,, Will If the Texas jack Rabbit can jump 1 into favor the billy goat ought to ' butt into the menu column with a )oud bleat.?Daily Record. fjfc STOP LEFT OVER COUGHS.

After refusing t? accept the bouse increases surtaxes on incomes of more than $40,000. the committee approved the remainder of the income tax schedule virtually in the form in which it originally was drafted by the house ways and means committee. The decision to throw out the manufacturers' tax, which would have affected producers of motor vehicles and many forms of merchandise, was prompted by a desire to dominate the flat tax imposed upon business generally and to distribute the levy more equitably, the committeemen said.

HELP UNCLE SAM I BY GETTING BUNDS -Two and a half millions- irt the! wuse of Liberty", is the slo^pjt thati has been sent out to South Carolinians everywhere by the- Liberty, Bond Committee of South Carolina, in an effort to place the state'.'*?jaota of; p;ar bonds upon the mark-* -withou' delay. June -r>th, registration duv. is tin linte chosen for the big thiive. It i i t> be Liberty Loan clay, ?*n which, every man and woman imthe .-date { with a single dollar to invent will b? called ujwn to rally to the rapport of; the government and finance the war. Only a small proportion of men will have to register, anul o?t~ these a much smaller number will have to g<. to the battle front; but practically every citi/.en of the state- can do hi:bit by buying a fifty dollar bond. Owing to the stupondbas size of the hvun,-?So,000.000,000? it will require subscriptions from ri?:h and pooi | alike. Already the rich men of the country are subscribing by the milliens; but it will lake much more! than this. Kvery farmer, large am' small, every rr.erchajvt, clerk, bankei and stenographer a ho has a dollai above actual livi C4? expenses is exported to buy at least a fifty dollai bond. The people of the farms and country districts must unite with the poopic of the cities in subscribing, o; else the Man will he a failure. Some of the rich men of the country are taking millions; and it is equally a important for the small farmers and merchants to take their hundreds. K. W. Robertson, of Columbia chairman of the committee appointed by the Federal Reserve Rank to push the sale of the bonds in South Carolina, said yesterday: "If there is one special message that the Liberty Bond committee would impress upon the people of South Carolina it is that while money is not more important than men, it is absolutely necessary that the citizens of our commonwealth support with, their treasure the men who must be sent abroad to face the enemy on the firing line." J. Pope Matthews, also of the committee, said: "The government, as a giant corporation, has undertaken a gigantic project, and the men and women of America are called upon to become stockholders in the corporation. It is purely a matter of investment, and dividends are payable, not only in money, but also in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." C. H. Barron, a third member of the committee, said: "Liberty Bond Day has got to be one of the big day? in South Carolina. There must be no defeats on the battle front because Americans have failed to do their duty by buying bonds. Every man in the state is going to rally to the flag on June the 5th and do his duty." o So It Seems. Ex-Premier Viviani and Marsha!

New York.?The skipper of a Danish steamship which arrived here today with sugar from Cuba had a mystery story t0 tell involving the possible presence of a submarine and a mine off Cape Hatteras.
