Feverish excitement prevailed in

moned to the Oak Grove magistrate 9

not be fined for selling the illumi-

No explanation of why the arrests
have not been made sooner Is given,
as the same conditions have obtained
ever since the peddling Law was en-
acted, many. many years ago.

they feel quite certain they have vfo-
lated no law and are perfectly secure
in their position in the matter, When
asked II they had yearly or monthly
contracts with their customers, the
Standard Oil officials declined to an

as the most expeditions and the cheap

is done all over the country. and it
Is understood that the arrest in
Chesterfield are the first that have
ever been made as a result.
A prominent lawyer said Friday
morning that If the oil company sent
its loaded wagon from the city to the
county and took ordered and delivered
the oil at the same time, the COM

Japan cannot afford to wait until

Everyone knows the friendship
which Kaiser Wilhelm has for the

lend her assistance to the great Am

fuse her help to Japan. her ally. And
there you are: France, Russia and the
other nations must inevitably be
drawn into the confiagration.
The United States is not war

which the German strategist said that
Japan would strike secretly and soon.
and her first move would be TO sweep
