How nice. beneath the bending shade

And squeeze her hand unseen.

Crawling down your back.

lures that the war may last three

ace to its predominant power and it's
admitted ambition to make Germany

Of Europe. The answer came sharp
and clear:
There is one cure for internal
troubles-the external trouble of
war"
1t is the old Bismarckan policy
but in the present economic cOndi-
tons has it not outlived it's day? Ger

make heavy sacrifices in the cause of

Junior Senator Has Nothing to Say
Concerning Opponent.

Columbia, April 6.-United States
Senator e. d. Smith did not discuss
his race for reelection while in the
city today en- route to Washington
from the Pee Dee section of the
State, where he has been speaking.
The junior senator was in the city
and appeared confident. He gave out
no statement relative to the candi-
dacy of his opponent, Governor
Blease.
Senator Smiths friends are encour-
aged over the good news he has been
receiving on his present trip through
the Pee Dee, they say. They state
they are confident that he will defeat
Governor BleaSe by a good majority.
The senator himself, however, while
smilingly confident, will not discuss
that until the joint debate this sum-
mer.
Senator Smiths cotton bill is we'll
on its way to passage through con-
gress and the immigration committee,
Of which he is chairman, has that
bill before the senate. On both meas
ures the junior senator has put in
hard work and is anxious to get them
through.

ConstitntiOnalist Lenders Declare They
Have Ample Evidence OF Plot and
Persist In Plan to- Drive Out Al
fonso's Subjects.

Juarez, April 7.--Despite express
sion of washington's unofficial dis
pleasure at the expulsion of the Span.
ish colony from Torreon the purpose
OF the rebel leaders In this regard
was mistaken today. 1t Is learned
from an authoritative source that
Gen. Carranza and Gen. villa are in
thorough accord on the subject and
that Spanish subjects throughout the
republic. wherever the constitutional
lists gain control. will be treated az at
Torreon and Chihuahua.
George e.. Carothers is known to
have talked with Gen. Carranza on
the Spanish question today. The con-
ference lasted half hour. When
Carothers emerged he rushed to his
automobile and refused to answer
the que' ions of inquirers.
The purport Of the conference
leaked out late today through sources
which hitherto have proved reliable
IL was said Carothers informed Car
rama that summary expulsion of the
spaniards was considered gravely at
Madrid and without favor at Wash
ington. The general replied that evi-
dcnce OF Spanish conspiracy against
the revolution was overwhelming in
all parts OF the country. that their
expulsion was not only just but the
part OF wisdom.
The policy OF expulsion includes
hli Spanish subjects In Mexico. Span
iards who are naturalized Mexicans
are not mbraccd I'm the general
order.
