The victims Of this brilliant stroke
on the part OF the German fleet are
the Cressy, the Aboukir and the

The loss of life among the crews Of
these three vessels probably will be
heavy. although a considerable num-
Der of men were picked up by the
cruiser i.owestoit, a division Of tor
pedo boat destroyers and some trawl-
ers.
Neither the time nor the scene Of
the disaster is given in the official re-

The Cressy Captain Robert W.
Johnson: the Aboukir. Captain John
E. Drummond, and the Hogue. Cap

President Wilson sees little pros
pect Of peace in Europe reflected il
the unofficial exchanges which Ameri
can ambassadors have been conduct
ing with Germany, Great Britain
/ France and Russia.
This was learned, following a care
ful study Of the message which Am
bassador Gerard cabled giving his
recollection of an informal conversa-
tion with the imperial German chan
cellor, Won Bethmann-Hollweg.
Until something more tangible and
more definite in the way of overtures
comes from the beligerents, the presi-
dent feels that his hands are tied To
undertake to elicit terms from Great
Britain, France and Russia, as Ger
many has suggested, would place the
president, he believes, in a delicate
position, i'm view of what Sir Edward
Grey has told Ambassador Page.
The British foreign secretary re.
Gently took the position that the war
had been forced on Great Britain, that
the neutrality Of Belgium had been
disregarded and that it would be ne.
cessary to crush German militarism
before the allies could feel safe
against new attacks, and before a
treaty of peace could be worth a
scrap of paper" Sir Edward said the
allies could make no comment until
they had received a definite statement
of terms from Germany and Austria.
On comparing expressions from the
allied powers and that Of the imperial
German chancellor, the president
found that they took almost an iden.
tical position He is not disposed to
take any action as a result of the I'm.
official exchanges because of their in.
formal character all Of them having

The Call of Nature.
Seattle PostcIntellingencer

Seattle Post-Intellingencer. !.
Mysterious voices are abroad, stirring
the senses and detaching the attention OF
the normal human being from the call and
sordid tasks a thand to dreamy reveries
and indeflnable longings. Eyes are lifted
away from the smoke and CRIME and busy
life Of the city to the greenery Of the hills
and the blue waters that encircle them.
The gulls wheel and circle, the 1eeoy clouds
drift slowly through the field Of blue, and
the radiant sun stares u%nblinkihgly over
thepanorama Of spring.
From the sordid and selfish accessories
of commercial life man lifts his eyes to ra-
diant nature and his soul is refreshed.
Man made the city, but God made the
green countryside and placed the babbling
brook, the leaping trout, the tall cedera's
and the alluring vista Of land and sea.
Indefinite murmurings and innumerable
small voices spring up about US like a
chorus that might be venturing a few ex-
detrimental notes Of a new and untried
score, though the melody is as old as the
old old world itself, and the same that
swelled in the primvall forest, unheard
of man. There is an under-current babble
Of small talk going on among the insectlife
that furnishes the base Of the harmony
There is the lark calling from the thicket
andithe robin whistling and the tree toad
chirping from afar; the breeze sghs faint
ly in the forest, and each note bears q spe-
cial message Of it's own. There Is an in
definable aroma Of forest, plain, and sea
that steals thrugh the melody and en-
tharlls the senses. There Is little for the
poor, weak defenseless human to do but
to HE him back to nature, to the green
hills on the banks of the great waters.
Those who may not go in body betake
themselves in spirit.
Voices Of nature sing to the heart the
song of the ages, and man hears and an
swers as he has always done. The little
an%noyaaces, the trihing ills, the selfish
crowding of the world Of men fall away
from one like disordered clothing, and the
spi rit r~ejoices in the glow and freedom Of
new life.

Happenings Of a Week In and About the
Seyen.HiIed Ciy-Personals.
Lowndesville, S. c., April 25, 1914.

LOwndesVllle, 5. w., April 70, 1914.
Mrs. j.. E. Brownlee, Of Brownlee, and
Mrs. Lena Dixon, Of Abbeville, were here
for several hours ON Thursday.
Sometime ago there was a supposed mad
dog In the Bells chapel neighborhood.
Several dogs were bitten which were at
once killed. The dog also bit n Of Mr..
Hills goats. There was nothing done with
1t, and not many days ago it sickened and
died and hauled off to an, as thought, out
Of the way place. A day or two afterwards
several Of the dogs around were taken
sick and died and their death Is believed
to have been caused by eating some Of the
dead goat.
Mrs. Clarence Under, Of Hartwell, Ga,
and Mrs. John w. McCalla, OF the Fork,
were here for some hours today a week
ago.
Mr.. Joe Gilbert, Of Wilmington, was up on
business last Saturday.
Tuesday, the 25th Of April, was rather a
frosty one in spots with US. Early risers
saw it plainly. While there was a white
frost in places it some how failed to do any
damage even to the most tender vegeta-
ton.
Rev. B. Graham, a Presbyterian divine OF
Clinton, came over Saturday and preached
the next day at II 80 q. H.. and at $50
p. m. He preached in the Methodist
church. The writer was not privileged to
hear him at either service, but some OF
those present say he preached two ser
mons we'll worth hearing.
A trio of ladies representing the Alkahest
Artists of Atlanta had a performance in
the high school building last Saturday
night. A number of our people were in at
tendance and say that they were well
pleased.
Food Inspector Harris was here Wednes-
day looking over the food supplies In the
hands of our merchants. If he found any
thing along that line to condemn, he did
not make it known.
Miss Lula Freeze, Of Mooresville, N. c.,
has for the past few days been at the home
of her kinsman, DR.. j. D. Wilson. =.
These days there are no incomers nor
outgoers in or from this town excepting
the travelling men, and as they are NO
rarity, and as their coming and going adds
only a business interest, mention Of them
is not made.
Mrs. Ella Daniel, wife of Mrs. John T,
Daniel OF this place, after a several months
severe and patiently borne affliction fell on
sleep Monday at p. m. She was for some
years a faithful member Of the Baptist
church. She was about 30 years Of age, q
good wife and mother, and will be badly
missed in the home. The next day at 2 p
m. the remains were f%uneralized at the
home in the presence OF very large crowd
OF surviving relatives and friends. The
services were conducted by Rev. j. q
Chandler of the Methodist church, assist
ed by Rev. 81. G. Fennel OF the Presbyte'
rian church, after which they were taken
to the Daniel burying ground three miles
out, and was laid beside the twins Of the
deceased who were placed there last year
After a brief burial service and after the
lowering Of the coffin, q brickmason walled
it over with brick, upon which was placed
