"It is against these Interests thitt the government Is fighting for this measure.

"There may be valid argument against the pending bill founded upon considerations of domestic policy.'' de? clared Seq.ttol Walsh, "but there a?-e no gVils attendant upon it. so far ,.s our foreign relations are concerned, that have thus been pointed out, ^ven if the shipping board should conclude to test by pun h se ,,| ..ne or mote of the belligerent vessels in our ports, the urn-stlea M 10 whether the dec? laration of I*on hm has forever logo* cloeed us from further maintaining our historic attitude concerning the rights of neutrals to purchaso the veesels of nations at war."

For Alsace-Lorraine also is an i economic prize of tremendous value. It is rieh in iron; it Is one of the atfgasl grape-ralslng lands in Europe; land its agricultural soils arc very [fruitful, : ins Q si man Crownhtnd is only |ttOJ square miles in area?slightly larger than the state 6| Connecticut, it prod no as. aeverthelees, one-ntth of the great wine yield of th rmany. or wine to a value of about $$,000,000 a year. It is Germany's richest source for iron ore. surpassing in its stores of this mineral every other division Of the Emi Ire. Some years ago most of the German iron ore was mined In Prussia, but, in 1911, Alsace-Lorraine produced 17,754,571 metric tons of iron ore as compared with a produc? tion of 4.94S.711 in Prussia. Me'e over, a great body of skilled opera? tives, natives in the territory, whose annual labors result in a production, of more than $10,000,000, largely add to its industrial Importance. ' Some of the most fertile farming soil in Germany is found in Alsace. The greatest part of the land of Alsace-Lorraine is serviceable to economic purposos. About 4 8 per cent of the territory Is under tillage; ;;n per cent. Is under forests, of f< liaceous trees largely owned by the communities; 13 per cent is in mead? ow, used as grazing and haymaking lands, and about :> per cent is planted with grape-vines. Potatoes, sugar beets. Brains, and hops are. grown In abundance on the farms. The grapes are planted to a great extent in the hilly country, where, also, dairying ami poultry raising are carried on. "The development of the country's transportation facilities has kept pace with the development of its riches. There are more than 5,000 miles of ? xeellent roads, or nearly one mile of road to evory square mile of terri? tory. There is no better canal system in Europe than that of Alsace-Lor? raine, these artificial highways, reach? ing in a wide network of trade arter? ies, up and down the country. Add? ed to these means for communication, there are abOttt 1,406 miles of railway or more than II miles for evory 100 si mare miles of territory. With the railways, the broad macadam and rough*packed, crushed stone roads, Md with the canal mileage, the ??irnd. s oper mil : in Alburn-Lorn im will have better conditions under which to maneuver than any other armies other than those in north? western France. "The climate In Alsace-Lorraine Is mild and healthful; in the mountain on parts. winter approaches the point Of being rigorous. The mean annual temperature at Btrassburg Is 50 degrees Fahrenheit. While the mean winter temperature for the highlands is only 37 degrees, .Metz I has a mean animal temperature of II degrees. There are days in high Alsace and I^orralne, however, when the cold seems to reach the intense white bitterness of northern Russia." A NEW SEED DROPPER. Imentlon Of Practical Farmer of ClM> raw.

Jib?William Spen? ser Currel, Ph. i>.. was formally In? augurated president of Um University of South Carolina yesterday. The stately ceremonies were also a cele? bration of the 110th anniversary of | the founding of the institution. Dr. CurreU'l inauguration was at? tended by learned men from several great universities and colleges, the governor and the lieutenant governor of South Carolina and other distin? guished visitors. In the afternoon the quaint Old chapel at the university failed to accommodate all the | eople and in tho evening the hall of the house of representatives was Idled to overflowing. I The ceremonies were impressive. The academic costumes worn by the degree men added touches of color and at the same time lent dignity to the occasion. > Dr. Currell's inaugural address was delivered in the hall of the house of representatives. When irftroduced by Gov. Manning, he was given an ova? tion lasting several minutes. Choos? ing ay his subject "The University and the State," the new president present? ed a scholarly address In a most forci? ble manner. Clearly, beautifully ex? pressed, it was a line literary creation, embodying high ideals for South Car? olina and her university and ringing with the keynotes of service and love". Referring first to the university's history and its splendid traditions. Dr. Currell discussed the University of South Carolina of today, its assets and its needs. He pointed to the ser? vice which the university should give to the State, and told how the uni? versity should love the State to which it owes Its very existence. He also pointed to the State's duty to the uni? versity, the advantages to be derived, the fine scope of extension work that can be done with adequate means and to his ideals for the university. In his closing remarks the new pres? ident said that in the Louvre there is a beautiful picture by Murillo, called "The Covcnt Kitchen." Angels are assisting in the usual culinary opera? tions and the whole picture is aglow with a kind of celestial light. Dr. Currell said that it has been well sug? gested that "It is the angel aim and standard that consecrates the work." "If I can serve the university and the State in this spirit," he said, "even socnllcd drudgery will become a delight and every form of service a labor of love." The academic procession, an annual event of Founders' day. was more im? pressive yesterday than ever before. The long lino of students, alumni, professors, trustees, judges, represen? tatives of other institutions, the gov? ernor, the lieutenant governor and the new president, wound its way about the historic campus, following the horseshoe driveway from the li? bra!', to the chapel. The line divided as ii reached the steps, and the stu? dents stood with heads uncovered as the president and his escort passed through the human passageway Into the auditorium. The president wore bis black silk gown. A broad strip of blue velvet faced the hood and the front. The sieve had three black bars and the hood was lined with blue and white silk, the Washington find Lee colors. The costume was trimmed in gold braid. It was tiie regular doctor of phil? osophy hood and gown, with the gold braid and broader trimming, symbolic of presidency, and with the white and blue of the lining to denote the institution. He wore a black cap with a gold tassel, the gold tassel being a furl her sum of the doctor de? gree. There were many other bril? liant costumes in the procession. Haddon Johnson of the senior law ( lass represented the student body as [speaker in the afternoon. He dls Icussed the ( lose relation of the unl? ive rslty and the state?"The life of the Slate and university arc united and can never be torn asunder," said Mr. Johnson. He spoke ol the university's many distinguished alumni and the ?ervicei they have performed and are performing for the state. President .1. Henry Hat ins of New berry college said that south Caro? lina had b.ad several Inaugurations of lute, and thus was living up to its repututlon for Inaugurating. After a lew Introductory remarks Dr. Harms Spoke for a lew minutes on the child'! right to an education. He spoke of the university's goo,I work in Ihe past und said that "under this dlstin gui lu d oduentor, Dr, Currell, the schools of South Carolins had eon bd? nee I bat t h< ii uni\ ersit.s would liourlsli as never before." n,> pre? sented the greetings >r the College? of South ? 'nrolliin. Walter I.? I 'on11 Pievens of Wash? ington ami Lee university, a graduate uf the ?nivvr?ity ol boutli Carolina, returned to his alma mater to bring best wishes and greetings to the pres? ident from the president's alma mater. Dr. Stevens said that he lived next door to in*. Currell In Lexington, Va., for ten years and therefore he could, from personal knowledge, speak of him. He said that all Washington and Lee was grieved last year when the call came from South Carolina. "Give us the man whom you like best at Washington and Lee." Dr. Stevens also paid a tribute to l>r. B. S. Joynes, and then spoke for a brief period on the value of combining science and lit? erature. He urged college men, es? pecially those In the science schools, to pay attention to literary work and to join a literary society. "I have never regretted that I was a member of the Clarlsosophlc Literary society while at Carolina," said Dr. Stevens. In the course of his address Dr. Stevens gave a personal account of his friendship With Dr. Currell and told of the high regard in which Dr. Currell is held by all who know him. Canceller James H. Kirkland of Vanderhilt university wore a gown and hood symbolic of the doctor's degree from the University of South Carolina and was tho only person at? tending the exercises who held a doc? tor's degree from this institution. It was conferred upon Chancellor Kirk? land at the centennial exercises in 1905. Chancellor Kirkland, a native South Carolinian and a graduate of the university, said that he .rejoiced to be here again. He referred to an article he had seen in which the fear was expressed that appropriations for State institutions of higher education would be cut down. "Cutting down appropriations for institutions of learning works disaster," he said, "and there is nothing to be gained by I it." He said that it was said of one of Carolina's alumni that if the uni? versity never did anything more than it did when it educated George Mc Duflie it has fully repaid the State. Hut the chancellor went on to note the following, which, he said, showed in part that the graduates of the University of South Carolina have taken prominent parts in life: "While the number of students was never very large, (he total number of graduates from 180G to 1S61 being 1,740, there is probably no college in America which has trained a larger proportion of men who became distin? guished in the affairs of the State and of the nation. Among these were 22 governors of States, 14 United States senators, eight lieutenant governors, 39 United States and Confederate States, representatives, 33 judges and chancellors, 15 presidents of colleges, 39 professors in colleges, besides many others who became distinguished in church and State." Dr. S. P, Capen, specialist in higher education, came as bearer of greetings from Commissioner Claxton of the bureau of education of the United States to President Currell. The Uni? versity of South Carolina, ho said, was one of the oldest State universities and it had set the younger State universi? ties a good example. He referred with emphasis to the honor system of Carolina, and said that it would be a long time before it was forgotten that the honor system, now prevailing in so many great institutions, was first put Into force at this university. He paid a tribute to Dr. Currell and expressed his belief that the univer? sity was in the hands of a wise and competent head. j Col. Asbury Coward, beloved educa? tor, was enthusiastically greeted. "When Mrs. Coward and I were asked lo be present today," said Col. Cow? ard, "the exercises today were spoken ! of as an unveiling, and so I will try to 'unveil' William Spencer Currell to you." Col Coward said that he had known Dr. Currell since the president was a boy and that ho had watched his distinguished career with the keenest interest. Dr. CurroH's father and Col. Coward were asoclated to-* gether at the King's Mountain Mili? tary academy in Yorkville. Dr. Cur? rell had classes under Col. Cowarl, and Col. Coward said yesterday that "he was as a young man bright and appreciative in the class room." Col. Coward traced his career through Washington and Lee university and his life since then. He said that a member Of the board of trustees of the university wrote him for a sug? gestion as to a good man for presi? dent. "I did not hesitate a minute," said Col. Coward, "for I knew the man, and was certain I knew the man to till the place, I recommended Wil? liam Spencer Currell." Col Asbury urged the young men of the univer? sity to realize the opportunities afford? ed them at college and to take advan? tage of these opportunities. He argued for culture?tri*<l Is, real culture. He said that culture which has a selfish end leads to barbarism, A smoker last nighl al Plinn hall, a luncheon yesterday afternoon at the home of Dr. and Mrs. George Arm "iron.; Wauchopc for tho speakers of the day, and n meeting of the nlumnl association completed the day's pro? gramme. it was n day nl brilliant achieve nI nt and will go down in the hist or\ of the University nf South Carolina at one of the greatest the institution ha 9\ u uncut. DIS?USS FARMING TOPICS. INTERESTING MEETING CON? TINUES A T t'LEMSON COL COLEGE. Speakers ami Subjects?Valuable Information Received and Given b> Demonstration Men. Clcmson College, Jan. 28.?At the Wednesday meeting of the demonstra? tion agents of the State, now in ses? sion here, there was a lively dlSCUS slon again of the problems of the buys' Club work, the discussion of which was begun yesterday because of certain suggestions in the paper read by Mr. J. E. Bzell, the Spartan burg county agent. Much stress was laid on the necessity of reaching the boy through his sense of accmplishmcnt j of something worthy and beneticial. and self-profitable, rather than for prizes, bonuses, etc. The paper by Mr. L. B. Altman, agent for Jasper County, on "Soil Building;: What Practice and Order of Practice to Advise," was one of the l?ost yet presented. Mr. J. W. Shealcy, the Lexington county agent, led the discussion of Mr. Altman's paper in a talk' which em? phasized strongly the part played by legumes in soil building; but he in? sisted that the legumes must be turn? ed under if the results are to be worth while and noticeable. At the afternoon meeting "School Demonstration Work" was the subject for discussion. This might be called State Agent Long's newest 42-centi? metre gun in his attack upon agricul? tural ignorance and backwardness. A paper on the subject * s read by Mr. P. Mason Crum, the Orangeburg coun? ty agent; and the discussion was chieily by Mr. J. M. Napier, special agent, in charge of schol demonstra? tion work as it is being tried out in Darlington county. Mr. Cram's paper was directed to showing that the proper teaching of agricultural knowledge and practice is the natural and necessary next step in advancing demonstration work, so as to coordinate the schools with the Hie of the scholars In rural schools. Mr. Napier has selected as being peculiarly fitted for this work, and Darlington county was chosen as the best place because of its advance over other counties in consolidated rural schools, which arc necessary for best results. Under this method the coun? ty school authorities unite with the demonstration forces in bearing ex? pense and carrying on the work. Mr. Napier has selected live schools, each with a four-acre plot for practical demonstrations of the principles he is to teach. The subject of agriculture i is made a regular and required branch of the school course. He spends two hours per week at each school in actual teaching and the rest I of the day in helping with the demon? stration plot work and other prob? lems. The principal of the school teaches the subject under his direc? tion on the other three days of each week, and thus the work is made reg? ular ahd not spasmodic. The paper by Mr. J. Frank Wil? liams, the Sumter county agent, on "What crop system to advise for 1015 for tenant farmers." contained some excellent suggestions for small white farmers and negro farmers, if they were only taken seriously by such tenant farmers and put Into actual practice. Collectively the small farm? er plays a large part in the economic system of the country; but any system suggested for him must be simple and inexpensive, and even then some can't and some won't follow it, though recognizing its wisdom. Mr. Williams' chief aim in his sug? gestions is to enable the tenant farm? er to work up to a cash basis of farming within three years. Some of his suggestions are: 1. Let him plant one-third of his crop In cotton instead of three-fourths as heretofore. 2. Another third plant to corn With peas In middles at laying-by. 3. Several acres, probably already planted, In oats, to be followed by brodcast peas; an acre or so of sor? ed m for syrup, and an acre of po? tatoes, sweet and Irish; plenty of truck for home use and surplus for near market, if there be any; much greater attention to poultry, COWS, pigs. 4. Make abundant supply of stable manure and compost, using much Ut? tel-, loaf-mold, etc. Greater economy and care in buying and in other expenditure un? til a cash basis can he reached. An interesting feature of the farm demonstration agents' meeting, now being held here, was the presence last night and today of m arly a dosen edi? tors of daily newspapers, who have taken part In last night's and today's ?Programme? After an Informal sun pi r and smoker, given by President lUgga t<? the editors last night, at which several happy little speeches wer? made, the editors have added pd the weigh! of their advice as to the promotion of progress In demonstra? tion w ork by discussing with the meet? ing the question ol publicity in dem? onstration work and the use of ln uiuii interest stories about notable ac ?? ?in pli.shmen t s in many lines of agrt ulturai endeavor, "it is a revelation io us to sie what Clemson and the lemonatratora are accompllahlng for the State," said several editors today. Some of these who c;nn<> are Messrs. Qeorge W. Brunaon, of the Greenville News; Robert Lathan, of The News and Courier: J. S. Reynolds, of the Columbia state; G. P. Brown, of the Anderson Dally Mail; W. W. Smoak, of the Anderson Intelligencer; C. O. Hearon, of the Spartanhur?r Hcn'J, and J. I>. Evans, of the Florence Times. HAD ACTIVE CAREER.
