( THE CRISIS Just how m; ny Arises this country ' has faced since it became a republic would take some time to enumerate, ' hut it is certain that the United States 1 is now facing its greatest crisis since the war bet we n the sections. The way sh< is meeting: the si tun- ' tion is exceed ogiy gratifying*. Tlv ' greatest repul 'ic in the world, de- , voted to peace. she lias accepted the challenge of t'v last great despot.e government, whose continued ex- , istence would ."eaten to wipe <1 mocacy from the face of the carta. ' All of her v ist resources of men, money and nu. l.inory are being niobali/.ed on a scale that is almost startling to think of. By the thou a.ids men are offering their services and th? ir money. All industries and railroads have been more complete.y organized than was deemed possible. In this en a1 crisis we have demonstrated that 5 arty lines, sectional lines and even those boundaries be tween labor a d capital arc largely imaginary. V e have denionstrat- d to ourselves ai i to the world that <vi are one in mil. ! and heart. PATRIOTISM AT HOME Talking of patriotism, we wish to remark that any man woman or child who renders a service to his or her country is a pa'rim. Any real service rendered at such a time as this is especially praiseworthy, the more so if it causes th<> doer a little extra wffort. Not all the patriots will go to the front. Not .11 the patriots will even fly flags in e\ idence of their sentiments, but it is a safe assertioi that a man \vh" loves his country wil not at litis time KNOWINGLY do anything that may interfere with its successful prove ation of the war against Germany. The fight of France and England itas been our fight from the beginning. It has been a fitrht in <tof? of (iemoeraey. We are now to fight for our very exist ence as much a-- 'hey. When million, of people are . <v ig what can 1 do to he p my count) y in this great crisis, no person vie i n po-;;ib!y by any means tret his la.mis on patch of ground need a k ihat question. There is m t'- .1 r thi- country need; right now so t iu h as foodstuffs forman and heast.

An American kaiserite may claim to have American blood in his veins, but he cannot claim to have the American spirit in his heart. Congressman Sam J.

Uncle Sam paid twenty-five million dollars for the islands. Rear Admiral Oliver has been named as provisional trovernor. The islands may be used as a naval base by the United States and for protection of the Panama Canal. We presume Uncle Sam is not in the market for any more islands, as he will need all his spare change to finance the war with , Germany. The State f? .inkly says if you don't like our cour ry you can get out, \ and every otln r true American in the ! United States feels just that way | about it, too.

PLANT 1R1SI POTATOES IN EVERY NOOK AND CORNER Clomson College, S. C., March?. I There i* probably no one of our common food crops that is in greater demand and is receiving less attention than is the Irish or "white" potato, which we all agree to be a universe! food cr > for man. Certainly, with the incre-cing demand and doubled increase . ver that of the past season, we cannot totally ignore the fnc' that this valuable crop is gaining ,n prominence but losing ground. The simplicity, ease, and cost of growing this crop under normal conditions should not permit the neglectful absence of its abundance on very Southern farm, as there are few crops that are equally as prodla bio and as easily grown as is the Irish or "white" potato. Therefore, let's not be further neglectful, but, .lot withstanding the fact of very high prices of seed, jegin immediately the plantinjc of a b- "tfcr acreage than ever before ami pla to work it accordingly. This crop should have been planted ilurinj? early March, therefore it is very accessary that it he planted immediately; r "voting as much time mil ground to its successful development as possih'.;.

McGregor, j Secretary and Treasurer. < * ..jr % v> UV )v v. > .The President's Ad Congress to De< Washington.? President Wilson . asked Congress to declare a state of war existing between the United States and Germany. While the news of the submarining of the steamer Aztec?the first American armed ship to sail into the war zone?was being told from mouth to mouth in the Capitol, the President, appearing before House and Senate in joint session, asked Congress to recognize and deal with Germany's warfare on America. The President stated that war with Germany would involve practical cooperation with the governments now at war with Germany, including liberal, financial credits. The President made it clear that no action was being taken against the | Austrian Government and the other < intinna wifh ^iormnnv President's Speech "I have called the Congress into 1 xtraordinary session because there ire serious, very serious, choices of lolicy to be made, and made imrne- 1 liately, which it was neither right nor i constitutionally permissible that I i should assume, the responsibility of i naking. 1 "On the third of February, last, I < ifltcially lai<l before you the extra- ' rdinary announcement of the Irape- ' ial German Government that on and 1 ftcr the first day of February it was ! ts purpose to put aside all restraints 1 f law or humanity and use its submaines to sink every vessel that sought 1 o approach either the ports of Great I Iritain and Ireland or the Western ! oasts of Europe or any of the ports rl ontrolled by the enemies of Germany vithin the Mediterranean. That had seemed to be the object of the Gernan submarine warfare earlier in the var, but since April of last year, the imperial Government had somewhat restrained the commanders of its unlersea craft in conformity with its > promise then given us that boats should not be sunk and that due warninir would be trivon to nil vessels which submarines might seek to destroy, when no resistance was offered or escape attempted and care taken that their crews were given at least a fair chance to save their lives in their open boats. "The precautions taken were meager and haphazard enough, as was proved in distressing instance after instance in the progress of the cruel and unmanly business, but a certain degree of restraint was observed. The new policy has swept every restriction aside. Vessels of every kind, whatever their flag, their character, their cargo, their destination, their errand, have been ruthlessly sent to the bottom without warning and without thought of help or mercy for those on board, the vessels of friedly neutrals along with those of belligerents. Hospital ships and ships carrying relief to the sorely bereaved and stricken people Belgium, though the latter were provided with safe conduct through the prescribed areas by the German Government itself and were distinguished by unmistakable marks of identity, have been sunk with the same lack of compassion or of principle. "I was for a little while unable to believe that such things would in fact be done by any Government that had hitherto subscribed to the humane practices of civilized nations. Inter- I national law had its origin in the at- | tempt to set up some law which .could be respected and observed upon the seas where no nation had right of dominion, and where lay the free highways of the world. By painful stage after stage has that law been built up with meager enough results, indeed, after all was accomplished that could be accomplished, but always a clear view, at least, of what the heart and conscience of mankind would demand . This minimum of right the German Government has swept aside under the plea of retaliation and necessity, and be- ( cause it had no weapons which it j could use at sea except these which it is impossibleto employ as it is employing them without throwing to the winds all scruples of humanity or of respect for the understandings that were supposed to underlie the intercourse of the world. "I am not now thinking of the loss of property involved, immense and serious as that is, but only of the wanton and wholesale destruction of the lives of non-combatants, men, women and children, engaged in pursuits hnvp olti/atru ...... ...? . X- ?? ?. .1, CTCII III IIIC U<ll fV" est periods of modern history, been deemed innocent and legitimate. F'roperty can he paid for; the lives of peaceful and innocent people cannot he. The present German submarine warfare against commerce is a warfare against mankind. "It is a war against all nations. American ships have been sunk American lives taken, in ways which it has stirred us very deeply to learn of, but the ships and people of other neutral and friendly nations have been sunk and overwhelmed in the waters in the same >vay. There has been no discrimination. The challenge is to all mankind. Ench nation must decide for itself how it will meet it. "The choice we make for ourselves must be made with a moderation of counsel and a temperateness of judgment befitting our character and our motives as a nation. We must put excited feelings awny. Our motive will not be revenge or the victorious assertion of physical right of the nation, but only the vindication of right, of human right of which we are ? i i in dress Asking , dare State Of War "When I addressed the Congress on the 26th of February .last, I thought that it would suffice to assert our neutrality rights with arms, our right to use the seas against unlawful interference; our right to keep our people safe against unlawful violence. But armed neutrlity, it now appears, is impracticable. Because submarines are in effect outlaws when used as the German submarines have been used against merchant shipping, it is impossible to defend ships against their attacks as the law of nations has assured that merchantmen would defend themselves against privateers or cruisers, visible craft giving chase | upon the high seas. It is common ^ prudence in such circumstances, grim necessity indeed, to endeavor to aesiroy mem oetore they have shown their own intention. They must be dealt with upon sight, if dealt with at all. Right* Of Neutrals. "The German government denies the rights of neutrals to use arms at all within the nreus of the sea which it has prescribed, even in the defense af rights which no modern publicist lias ever before questioned their right < to defend. The intimation is conveyed that, the armed guards which we i have placed on our merchant ships he treated as beyond the pale of law and i subject to be dealt with as pirates would be. "A^rmed neutrality is ineffectual enough at best; in such circum- ] stances and in the face of such pretensions, it is worse than ineffectual; It is likely only to produce what it was meant to prevent; it is practically certain to draw us into the war without either the rights or the effectiveness of belligerents. There is one choice we cannot make,we are incapable of making: we will not choose the path of submission and suffer the most sacred rights of our nation and our people to be ignored or violated. The wrongs against which we now nr ray ourselves are no common wrongs; they cut to the very roots of human life. "With a profound sense of the solemn and even tragical character of the step I am taking and of the grave responsibilities which it involves, but I in unhesitating obedience to what I deem my constitutional duty, I advise that the Congress declare the recent course of the German government to be in fact nothing less than war against the government and people of the United States; that it formally accept the status of belligerent which has thus been thrust upon it and that it tak? immediate steps not only to put tl.e country in a more thorough state of defense, but also to exert all its power and employ all its resourses to bring the government of the German empire to terms and end the war. "What this will involve is clear. It will involve the utmost practicable co-operation in counsel of and action with the governments now at war with Germany, and as encidcnt to that, the extension to those governments of the most liberal financial credits, in order that our resources may, so far as possible, be added to theirs. It will involve the organization and mobilization of all the material resources of the country to sup piy me materials ol war and serve the incidental needs of the nation in the most abundant and yet the most economical and efficient way possible. Army Of Half Million "It will involve the immediate full equipment of the navy in all respects, but particularly in supplying it with the best means of deulinpr with the enemic's submarines. It will involve the immediate addition to the armed forces of the United Statos, already provided for by law in case of war, at least 500,000 men, who should, in my opinion be chosen upon the principle of universal liability to service and also the authorization of subsequent additional increments of equal force so soon as they may be needed and can be handled in training. "It will involve also, ofcourse, the tfrantintf of adequate credits to the government, sustained, I hope, so far as they can equitably besustained by I the present generations, by well con' ceived taxation. I "I say sustained so far as may be equitable by taxation because it seems to me that it would be most unwise to base the credits which will now be necessary entirely on money borrow ' ed. It is our duty, I most respectfully urge to protect our people so far as we may against the very serious hardships and evils which would be likely to arise out of inflation which would be produced by vast loans. J "In carrying out the measures by , which these things are to be accomplished, we should keep constantly in mind the wisdom of interfering as little as possible in our own preparation 1 and in the equipment of our own mili tary forces with the duty?for it will be a practical duty?of supplying the nations already at war with Germany with the materials which they can obtain only from us or by our assistance. They are in the field and we should help them in every way to be effective there. "I shall take the liberty of suggesting, through the several executive departments of the Government for the consideration of your committees, measures for the accomplishment of the several objects I have mentioned. I hope that it will be your pleasuro to deal with them as having been framed after very careful thought by the branch of the Government upon I Mil ??I??aaggg * * OFFIOK OF COUNTY SUPERINTENDED OP EDUCATION K JL ROU8E .

"While we do these things, these deeply momentous things, let us be very clear and make very clear to all the world what our motives and our obects are. My own thought has not been driven from its habitual and normal course by the unhappy events of the lnat two -- ? 1 1 - ?* ... w iiiviiviio| nuu a UU UUV believe that the thought of the Nation has been altered or clouded by them. "I have exactly the same things in mind now that I had in mind when 1 addressed the Senate on the 22nd of January, last; the same that I had in mind when I addressed the Congress on the 3rd of February and on the 26th of February. Our object now, as then, is to vindicate the principles of peace and justice in the life of the world as against selfish and autocratic power and to get up amongst the really free and self-governed peoples of the world such a concert of purpose and action as will henceforth ensure the observance of those principles. Neutrality Not Feasible. "Neutrality is no longer feasible or desirable where the peace of the world is involved and the freedom of its peoples and the meti&ce to that peace and freedom lies in the existence of autocratic Governments backed by organized force which is controlled wholly by their will, not by the will of their people. We have seen the last of neutrality in such circumstances. "We are at the beginning of an age in which it will be insisted that the same standards of conduct and of responsibility for wrong done shall be observed among Nations and their governments that are observed among the individual citizens of civilized states. "We have no quarrel with the German people. We have no feeling towards them but one of sympathy and friendship. It was not upon their impulse that their government acted in entering this war. It was not with their previous knowledge or approval. It was a war determined upon as was used to be determined upon in the old. unhannv dnvs wVi?>r> were nowhere consulted by their rulers and wars were provoked and waged in the interest of dynasties or of little groups of ambitious men, who were accustomed to use their fellowmen as pawns and tools. "Self-governed nations do not fill their neighbor states with spies or sot the course of intrigue to bring about some critical posture of affairs which will give them an opportunity to strike and make conquest. Such designs can be successfully worked only ' under cover and where no one has the J right to ask questions. "Cunningly contrived plans of deception or aggression, carried, it may be, from generation to generation, can be worked out and kept from the light only within the privacy of courta or behind the carefully guarded confidences of u narrow and privileged class. They are happily impossible where public opinion commands and insists upon full information concerning all the nation's affairs. League Of Democracies. "A steadfast concert for peace can never be maintained except by a partnership of democratic nations. No autocratic government could be trustJ cd to keep faith within it or observe its covenants. It must be a league of honor, a partnership of opinion. In trigue would eat its vitals away; the plotting of inner circles who could plan what they would and render account to no one would be ri corruption seat at its very heart. Only free peo pies can hold their purpose and their honor steady to a common end and prefer the interests of mankind to any narrow interest of their own. "Does not every American f?,?1 that assurance has been added to our hope for future peace of the world by the wonderful and heartening things that have been happening within the last few weeks in Russia? Russia was known by those who knew it best to have been always in fact democratic at heart, 5n all the vital habits of her thought, in all the intimate relationships of her people that spoke their natural instinct, their habitual attitude towards life.
