taken by the federal reserve b'oard
and Secretary McAdoo of the treasury
department, to extend aid to cotton
producers of the south and to clear
the way for handling the fall crop

promissory notes secr.rxi by warehouse
receipts for staple agricultural
products with the restriction that
member banks must not charge more
than 6 per cent-to the borrower.

Washington.?Strained relations be- j
tweeu the United States and Germany
over the submarine warfare appar- 1
ently passed into history when Count \
Ilernstorff, the German Ambassader, .
informed Secretary Iatnsing in writing
that prior to the sinking of the 1
Arabic his government bad decided I
its eubmarlr suonld sink no more ,
liners without warning.
Oral assurances to that effect had
been $lvcn by the Ambassador last *
week; but it was not until Count l
nernstorff, after a call at the state ]
department, returned to the Embassy .
and *cnt a letter to Mr. Lansing quot- 1
ing instructions from Berlin concern- '
ing an answer to be made to the last \
........v.,ii nuie on me sill King OI IIIO
Lupltania that oltlclals frankly admittod
their gratification over the changed
position of the Imperial Government.
Secretary Hansing said in a formal
statement that the letter "appears to
he a recognition of the fundamental
principle for which we have contended."
He immediately sent the communication
to the White House and
ili: cussed it in cheerful vein with his
callers, who included Chief Justico
White. Secretary McAdoo and Senator
Till man of South Carolina. Everywhere
in Administration circles there
was a visible relaxation of the tension
which had existed ever since the Lusitania
tragedy, though lessened by the
earlier assurance of Count Bernstorff
and advices from Ambassador Gerard
us to the attitude 'of otlicials in Berlin.
The next step it is stated authoritatively.
will be a formal communication
from the German Government,
disavowing the destruction of tho
Arabic and tending regret and reparation
for American lives lost in the
disaster tf the attack was made by a
Herman submarine. Even if the submarine
which torpedoed the liner
subsequently was sunk by a British 1
llian-of-war. hns hoon ???*

4 Remedy
Is Needed
The capes of juvenile delinquency
that came before the
probato judge the latter part of
last week have been temporarily
lisposed of in the following pianler:
' ^
Mr. Press Donahoe, a good
Farmer living near Iiuby was appointed
probationary olllcer over
;he young Rushing boys, aged 19
md 11 years. The boys are tc
cport to Mr. Donahoe, who in
urn will report to the probate
iudge. Mr. Donahoe will attempt
to encourage the boys to

cases before the public.
The purpose is to bring home, as
far as possible to all gor d citizens
jf^tho county- the need of a bettier
system of.treating 6uch case's.
Chesterfield dOU.nty is very
fortunate in that these cases are
rare. The population is
ip of native born, home loving
Deopie, who take a great deal ol
pride m the proper training ol
their children. But a few casei=
will crop up now and then that
equire the attention of the
;ourts. It is then that the comiiunity,
realizing its responsibility,
should he prepared to act
in such a maner as to give the
srring youth both the opportunity
and the incentive to right
lbout face and endeavor to bejome
useful and respected citizens.
It is very hard for boys who
liave started wrong to reform
imid their old environment. A
jomplete change of associates

discipline will often wcrk
