Ix>ndon, March 21.?"According to v
private telegrams from Berlin to the d
Amsteerdam Bourse, it is expected r
that & state of war with the United t
States will be an accomplished fact a
within 48 hours," says a dispatch to
the Exchange Telegraph company S
from Amsterdam. t
"American journalists in Berlin," J
the dispatch adds, "have been warned a
to this effect by the foreign office." P
Washington, March 21.?President t
Wilson today met the constantly increasing
probability of war with Ger- v
many by summoning congress to as- e
semble in extraordinary session April s
2, two weeks earlier than the date he o
had chosen before the latest assaults a
on American rights on the seas. n
When the president addresses con- t
gress he is expected to show how a c
state of war actually has existed for
some time because of the unlawful ag- 8
gresions of German submarines. t
Congress is expected formally to de- n
dare a state of war existing, vote a t?
large sum, probably half a billion dol- t
(ars, for national defense and clothe t!
the president with authority to use the
armed forces of the United States as c
it empowered President McKinley to
deal with the menace of Spain in 1898. t:
Such action would not be a declara- a
tion of war except in a technical sense a
and whether the 'United States and a
Germany actually go to war in the
(qUest acceptance of the tejrg^wty) dfc) P
? * - -'farad on what ^he imperial government^
does before congress is assembled or *
~ ' after It acts. "* t
Dispatches from abroad tonight deelaring
that the German government
expected a state of war within the 8
next 48 hours placed an ominous as- v
pect on the situation. 1
The president's proclamation fol- v
tows: t
"\X7Vin o rviiV*1 i /*
if uvtvoo) puuiiu in tc i coii ic\|uucn | t
that the congress of the United States
should be convened in extra session j 1'
at 12 o'clock, noon, on the 2nd day,e
of April, 1917, to receive a communi- v
cation by the executive on grave qnes- t
tions of national policy: b
"Now, herefore, T, Woodrow Wil- e
soa, president of the United States of!'1
America, do hereby proclaim and de- *dare
that an extraordinary occasion n
requires the congress of the United *
States to convene in extra session in I'
the capitol at the city of Washington
on the 2nd day of April, 1917, at 12 ^
o'clock, noon, of which all persons ?
who shall at that time be entitled to n
act as members thereof are hereby repaired
to take notice. 11
"Given under my hand and the seal 8
f the United States of America, the a
21st day of March, in the year of Our n
fjord 1917, and of the independence e
W the United States the 141st,." c
May be Changes. R
Much to change the president's in- a
tentions or the course of the government
in the crisis may develop he- f
fore April 2. The first Amei'^rftrm- V
ed ships will by that time have reach- M
ed the war zone. The ruthless de- ^
traction of one of them unquestion- *
abiy would be an act of war. ^
On the other hand, sinking of n 8
submarine by one of the armed P
merchantmen probably would be met u
as an act of war by Germany. Even
the arming of American ships with ?
the avowed purpose of defending them n
against u-boats may be declared such c
aa act. 8
In any of these events practically
nothing would remain except for congress
to acknowledge a state of war Jexisting
from a certain specified date 11
?probably last Sunday, when three ^
American ships were sunk with loss "
/ of life. ?
The next 10 days, until congress Jj
meets, will be fraught with possibil- "
ties of tremendous consequences to ^
the United States.
President Wilson and his advisers
in the cabinet, and in nr%ngrooo Vtovp I ^
no intent that war shall be declarer! Cl
by the United States. By the hostile f
acts of German submarines they helieve
the imperial German government ^
is actually making war on the United K
States and that it shall he recognized
as such a state. To meet such a con- P
dition the armed forces of the coun >?
try and all the national resources are t<
to be put in a state of readiness. JB
A Defensive War.
In every sense, war, if it actually
comes, will be defensive, free from ?
ambitions of spoils or territory in tl

vhich the United States, the presi- j
lent has publicly declared, shall want
lothing for itself and shall seek only j
o preserve the rights of civilization
nd humanity. j;
In such an occasion the United
Itates might even demand actual paricipation
in the hostilities on the 3
European continent without becoming
political ally of any of the entente
lowers, simply casting its weight of g
nen, money an dmoral influence into ^
he battle against a common enemy. n
Ports of the United States probably g
/ould be opened to warships of the
ntente navies; credits and the vast
tocks of gold, food, munitions and
ther materials might be extended to ^
11 the entente powers. The American
avy probably would cooperate with
he British and French navies in ^
tearing submarines from the seas. In g
lying the whole situation before con
ress the president is expected to deail
fully the warlike acts of Gcrlany
against the United States and :
o pay particular attention to the fu- ^
ure of the American government as
he great conflict draws to a close.
It is not improbable that he'will ask
ongress to declare a state of war exiting,
although there is some indicaion
that he may only outline the sitution
fully and leave to congress the w
ction which is accepted as unavoid- di
ble. t<
Meanwhile, every preparation for P
>uttin? the nation's defenses in con- ti
rtfmr^meet * 'tX&X6 of war is going111

Army Must Wait. H
The army plans are in a less definite 8
tate because of the uncertainty as to
rhat part it will be called on to play,
'onight 'Secretary Baker conferred
nth the president but the details
hey discussed were not revealed. "
The possibility of Germany extend- "
ng submarine operations to the At- ^
intic seaboard has not been under- r<
stimated but it is recognised that
rhen she extends her warfare from a
he harred zone to the 3,000 miles of P

her starvation blockade of Engand
that the announced obje"t of P
he campaign of ruthlessness will cf
eccssity be abandoned. At the same
ime the submarine menace to shiping
will comparatively decrease. ,
Next to war, the attention of the r?
imerican government is on one other
bject?the internal situation in Gcr- ;
lany.
With a military censorship screen- w
rig the history making events tran- c<
piring within the German empire
nd equally screening from the Gerian
people the full meaning of
vents in the world outside, the real
ondition of affairs in that country C1
uardedly reflected in dispatches from ^
broad commands close attention.
Murmurings of a revolt against au- 01
ocracy, emboldened by the revolution
n Russia jreports of food riots in Berin,
which are said to have necessi- ?
ated the withdrawal of troops from
he fighting lines; military successes y1
y the entente on the Western front *]
nd in Asia Minor; the submarine camaign
operating far below the cffic5ncy
predicted for it, all lead to the "
elief among officials here that possily
before congress can assemble to w
leet the situation, the world may be w
onfronted with an entirely different *T
et of conditions.
While it has been assumed by many w
hat any aggressive action by the w
Tnited States against Germany ana ,
i cooperation with the entente allies
rould be purely of a naval character,
esigned to aid in the extermination ,
f submarines and radiers preying
pon congress, state department of- IT
cials declared today that this coun- *
ry might take any and all military \
measures deemed to make effective '
,s protest against Germany without ^
ctually entering into a formal politi- 1
al alliance. Even the sending of an p
xpeditionary force to Europe, it is
eld, would not obligate this country
) all the details of the allied proram.

Officials say that an army could c|
roperly be sent to Belgium to help y,,

BETTER SCHEDULE. c*
cl
t is Possible That a Change Could fa
Be Made. *n
cc
The Spartanburg Herald of yester- A
lay says that a meeting was held in *?
Columbia on Wednesday to discuss
he subject, of an additional train be- C1
ween Spartanburg and Columbia. It
s a fact that the Southern is now OT
perating three trains a day each way 111
letween these two points. However,
t would seem that a re-adjustment of
astbound schedules would prove sat- *?
sfactory to Spartanburg, as well as to a
laffney, Blacksburg, Greenville and *r
ntermediate points, letting train No.
2, which now leaves Spartanburg at ^
0:10 A. M. leave Spartanburg at er
:40 A. M. and arrive in Columbia at
1:40 A. M. By doing this it would 3e
rotect the connection of train 29 from Tl
llacksburg and Gaffney, also the con- ^
ection from Atlanta, Greenville and
11 intermediate points of trains 42 and Rr
6, which arrive in Spartanburg beween
6:55 and 7:10 A. M. Of course
his would break the connection at
partanburg with train No. 42 fron|
sheville and intermediate points
laking it necessary for the Carolina *G1
pecial to do local work east of Spar- -ie
anburg and protect the through bus- ?c
less from Asheville.
It seems that this arrangement fe0
ould be much more beneficial to f?r
veryhody than the present schedule,
nd would be more likely to be con- P1
animated in view of the fact that the ?e
outhern is not very' likely to ptitM
n additional trains unless the busi^B^1
ess would justify it, and it does nott
ppear that there is an unusuafffM
mount of local business to be had Hh

USTAINING ADAMSON ACT
COURT TAKES NEW GROUND i
pholds the Eight Hour Railroad Law.
Five to Four, With Dissentients
Differing as to Reasons for
Opposition. ^
Washington, March 19.?In an epolal
decision holding congress to be
othed with any and all power necesiry
to keep open the channels of ?
terstate commerce, the supreme ~
urt, five to four, sustained the *
damson law as constitutional and en- c
rceable in every feature.
The immediate effect of this de- *
sion is to fix a permanent eight hour 1
isic day in computing wage scales
i interstate railroads for which a
itionwide strike twice has been
reatened and to give, effective from
inuary this year, increases in wages f1
trainmen of about 25 per cent., at 1
cost to the railroads estimated at
om $40,000,000 to $50,000,000 a year. '
The court, throuh Chief Justice s
hite, declared both carriers and their *
nployes, engaged in a business r
iarged with a public interest, subct
to the right of congress to comilsory
arbitrate a dispute affecting
e operating of that business. p
"Whatever should be the right of ^
i employe engaged in private busiiss
to demand such wages as he deres,
to leave the employment, if he 0
>es not get them and by concert of c
tion to agree with others to leave ^
i the same condition," said the opinn,
"such rights are necessarily subct
to limitation when employment is
cepted in a business charged with a
iblic interest and as to which the
trti lu icnuiuit; commerce ny con- (ess
applied, and the resulting right (~
fix in ase of disagreement and dis- f
ite a standard of wages as we have t|
en necessarily obtained." ^
S
reement Reached Ends Controversy.
New York, March 10.?With the ]
itionwide railroad strike averted and C
Adamson act declared constitu>nal
the controversy that has raped s
(tween the railroads and their em- h
Dyes for nearly a year over the ques- f
>n of hours and wages today passed v
to history.
Appealed to by the president's e
ediators to yield on the ground of k
itriotism to the demands of the em- o
Dyes, the railroads just before day- li
eak today consented to an agreeenjLg^Mxeby
the employes receive ii
\mm1c work day and pro 1\
% pay for overtime, the same as v
at > proposed by the Adamson law.
;veral hours later the United States it

RESENTATION OF FLAG p

In April, 1861, the ladies of Union v
resented the Johnson Rifles with a
eautiful flag and the presentation was r<

ent and the other side was white with f(
he inscription:
"Presented by the ladies of Union w
o the Johnson Rifles." f<
It was finished with gold fringe and tl
/as a most beautiful flag. fl
The Johnson Rifles, commanded by a
'apt. Wesley Goss, marched to the S

ormed a line in front of the house: tl
