A War That Is Madness

Germany has run amuck. There is
no other explanation of the Kalser's
policy in forcing a general European
war.
Fortunate it is that Great Britain is
compelled to cast her sword into the
balance without further loss of time.
The issue is now joined. Either
German autocracy must be crushed or
European Democracy will he Obliterat-
ed. There is no middle course. If the
forces that the Kaiser has loosed are
victorious, the map of European re-
publicanism may as well be rolled up,
and the American people prepare to
make the last great stand for democra-
cy. All of continental Europe that is
not Russianized will be Prussianized
France will be reduced to the status of
a third-rate power. Belgium, Holland
and Denmark will fall successfully into
the nav Of German imperialism. Italy
will become a vassal state, the sun will
have set upon the British Empire as
well, aud the mailed fist of the con-
queror will make ready to strike the
final blow at democracy in the New
World.
The course of the German Govern
ment during the past weeks cannot be
r%econciled with amy theory or political
sanity. Wantonly and deliberately the
Kaiser has plunged his sword into the
heart of civilization. The whole world
is paying the penalty of his madness,
neutrals as we'll as belligerents. Upon
the American people alone three thOus-
and miles from the scene of conflict. is
levied a tribute of millions of dollars a
day in dlsorganized commerce, disorga.
nized industry and disOrganized finance,
and the final reckoning that must be
paid for this manical onslaught of
German autocracy denies calculation.
The human imagination is staggered as
it faces the inevitable consequences of
this supreme achievement of paranoia.
1t is still possible to %sympathize with
the German people in the great tragedy
that has overtaken them, with their
backs to the wall fighting a more pow
erful coalition than ever Napoleon
faced. But there can be only one
answer to the Kaiser's challenge to
Europe. German autocracy has made
itself the enemy OF mankind. Its de-
stipction will be the emancipation of
the German people themselves as well
as the salvation of European republic
anism World.

1t use to be thought that the bust
ness in this country could not exist
unless there was speculation in stocks
and bonds in what, i'll financial par.
lance, is called "Wall Street." The Eu-
ropean war has compelled the brokers
to stop their business of selling stocks
and bonds, nine-tenths of which is
speculative only. Notwithstanding the
once SO called necessary business has
been suspended, the real business in
dustries of the country are progressing
and the real wner of stocks and
bonds will get their dividends when
earned,

Powder Lacking For Long Conflict

A generel war in Europe could not last
six months. said officials of the E. /. du
Pont-de Nemours Powder Company. The
war would be a "smokless powder war;,
the first great wa in which that explo
sive was used, and a prolonged conflic-
was an impossibility. t
The ''life of smokless powder is 80
short that the almost inc xhaustbile sup
ply that would be required for a prolonged
general wal could not be accumulated, &C.
cording to the powder makers. All of the
nations OF Europe had as large a supply
as could be obtained in years of foresight
but even this could not last six months.
The difficulties OF manufacturing smoke
less powder, the dupont official de.
clared, were too great to make it possible
to Teplenish those supplies. 1t requires
six months to manufacture the explosive.
and this fact alone would make it impos-
sible to maintain the necessary supply.
The neutrality laws forbid the shipping
OF any powder from this country, SO the
nations of Europe would be under the
added difficulty of having to depend upon
their " resources for their explosives
"The principal nations of Europe are
able to supply themselves with powder
and have large stores of it on hand"
said I. Coleman du Pont, president of
the company. "These stores are not in
exhaustible, however, and | do not look
for a long war;"
Pierre s.. du POnt, a vice president of
the company, said that, while the nations
OF Europe had large supplies OH hand,
they would probably try to obtain pow
der elsewhere, if they anticipated a long
general war. He denied that any nego-
tiatiOns had been carried on between any
European country and the du POnt Com
pany.
Colonel E. G.. Buckner, another vice
president of the company, and in charge
of the sale of smokeless powder to
various Governments, confirmed the opin.
ion that European nations had not enough
ammunition to last six months.
"They are all abundantly supplied with
powder for a time," he continued. Every
nation in Europe is ready for war. For
years Germany, England, Russia, Aus
trfa and Italy have been purchasing and
storing large quantities in preparation
for such q war as is now threatened. All
of these countries obtain their powder
from private manufacturers.
"France is in a worse condition than
any of them. 1t is the only nation in
Europe that has a Government monopoly
on powder. and the grade that is manu-
featured there is inferior. But France
has almost as large a supply as the
other nations"
The United States, Colonel Buckner
added, was the only large nation in the
world that had not q large supply of
powder on hand. This Government
seems so certain that we will never be
engaged III another war;" he said, "that it
has had almost no powder OH hand since
smokeless powder was adopted. This is
a grave mistake to make, because it
would be six months before any powder
could be delivered to the Government,
IN case we should have to 60 to war;"

WILLIAM ].

WAAAAAM - DIM G4Nd
Last Tuesday was the last day to file
petitions for the nomination for con-
gress to be voted upon at the primary
on September 22d. William j. Brewing
of Camden, will be the only candidate
for the Republican nomination, in this,
the First District in New Jersey.
MI. Browning was elected three years
ago to succeed Henry G. Laudenslager,
and reelected in 1912, by asmall MAORI.
ty. AT a recent meeting in Camden MI.
Browning said, 81 challenge any man
to cite a single vote of mine in Congress
that was not for the benefit of my
constituents. I have voted in every
instance for measures for the benefit of
the laboring man. / have also voted
for and worked for measures to benefit
the manufacturers in my district, who
employ nearly 10000 men.
"T am almost at a loss for words to
express my desire, my intense desire,
that my constituents, no matter how
they vote at the general elections,
shall come to me to consult or criticise.
/ am the representative Of all the
people in my district, and / want all of
them to know that the latch string,
with me, is always On the outside and
that a welcome awaits them on the
inside. / ask all my constituents to
come TO me at any time, at either
Washington Dr. Camden. In saying
this l am merely reafifming the policy 1
adopted the first day l entered Congress
as your representive."
HIS CAMPAIGN CoMMfTTEE
consists of Surrogate Henry Reeves,
chairman of the Camden County Com
mittee; Henry C. Sharp, treasurer of
the County Committee; and County
Clerk Frank F. Patterson, Jr., all of
Camden; Samuel B. Burkett, of Glou-
c%ester, and Benjamin B. Wescott, of
Salem.
JOSEPH K. NOWREY
filed his petition last Friday to be a
candidate for the Democratic nominal
ton for Congress. MI. Nowrey is
closing a 3-year term of sheriff OF Cam
den County. Some years ago he was
elected Mayor of Camden City. Hav-
ing carried these two strong Republi-
can districts and being widely know in
Gloucester and Salem counties he will
begin the campaign with the prestige of
being a winning candidate in a strong
Republican District.
THE PROGRESSIVE CANDIDATE
George W. Chen0with, of Woodbury.,
presented a petition to Secretary of
State Crater last Monday as a Progress
sive candidate for Congress in the
First District. It was not accepted
because the official name of the new
party in New Jersey is Progressive
(RoOsevelt) and not Progressive
Party" Mr.. Chenowith will have to
file his petition at the general election
without entering the prim aries.
George FL. Higgins, of Berlin, has
filed a petition for the Progressive
Roosevelt nomination.
The Penn's Grove record., 1914-08-28

/ hereby announce myself as a
candidate for the nomination of
Sheriff on the Republican ticket at
the primary election to be held
September 22d. Being born in
Salem city IS years ago, most of
the people of Salem city are ac-
quainted with my past record as l
have been before the public in the
Real Estate and Insurance bust
ness and been personally interested
in the work of lodge circles of var
ious lodges of Salem county for the
past IS years.
Being under no obligations to
any faction of men it will be my
aim to give the citizens of this
county the best service at my com
mand. / stand for what is just
and right in all. matters affecting
the County, its people and its in
ternal affairs, and if I am elected
Sheriff the office will be conduted
on a high standard with strict com
pliance with the law and all of
which details personally looked af-
ter by me.
/ was elected a city assessor of
Salem at the election of 1910. The
policy / pursued at that time is the
same that l am actuated at the
present-that is to serve the people
at every and all times and to have
no other master than the people
that put me in office. They hon
ored me by a reelection in 1914
and my election was confirmed by
an unanimou vote of the Com
mon Council of Salem. Therefore,
l feel that it is no more than my
proper right and due to ask the
support of all Republicans at the
coming primary for the high Office
/ seek.

The Newport plain talk. (Newport, Tenn.) 1909-1939, 1914-09-16

Tomorrow, Thursday, Gen. Rye
opens his campaign at Camden,
Benton county, the place of his
birth. Ten thousand people are
expected and it will be a great
day in the history of Benton coun-
ty and West Tennessee. From
that day on until the election Gen.
Rye will push his fight. Hooper
speaks Thursday in what he calls
Africa" or Memphis. 1t is not
believed he will change any votes
there. The tide is running strong
ly against Hooper and it will con-
tinue to do SO until he is defeated
at the polls in November.
The Newport plain talk. (Newport, Tenn.) 1909-1939, 1914-09-16

Gen. Charles 7. Gates an
nounces his determination to take
the stump for Rye and says ne
will give convincing reasons for
his opposition to Hooper. Gen.
Gates is the ablest one Of that
class known as Independents in
the state. AS late as January
1912 he had the active support of
Hooper and his followers for the
senate against Judge Shields and
Gates was then a fine man. But
now that he has seen fit to cast
off Hooperism and all for which it
stands he will Immediately become
a very bad man in the eyes Of the
Hooper followers, and especially
Stahlman and The Banner. But
this will in no way retard Gen.
Gates from showing up Hooper
ism in its true light.

Hooper visited Knoxville Mon
day and a number Of his followers
met him there and heard the
same speech he has made for
years. He urges republicans to
stand solid, to a man, in East
Tennessee, and says that in Mid
die and West Tennessee he will
secure enough democratic votes
to elect him. And yet whenever
a democrat throws off the Hooper
yoke and repudiates him, he i'm
mediately becomes a very bad
man. The people have seen his
game worked so long they fully
understand and will not longer be
misled.
