Thinks German Outlook Bad.
Gen. Berthaut, a French military
critic, summing up the situation today
in published article, declares that
the outlook for the Germans is bad all
along the line, He predicts another
effort against the allies left, which
will be a serious one. The idea is ad-
vanced by some observers that the
Germans will abandon their effort to
get through to Calais and try instead
of reach Boulogne, but it is not be-
lieved that this slight change of route
will increase the chances of success.
Many rumors are circulating in Paris,
due in large measure to the lack of
news from the front. For example, it
was persistently reported last night
that Ostend had been reoccupied by the
allies.
A list of promotions issued by the
war office gives the assignment of
eight generals to fill the places made
vacant by the death in battle of Gems.

CLAIMS JACKSON'S VASE.
Jas. Mckee Says He is Last Survivor
of Mexican War.

Washington, March Ex-senator
Tillman recently received a letter
from James Mckee, of Fall River,
Kansas, claiming the celebrated An
drew Jackson vase, which now re-
poses at Columbia, where it awaits
final assignment under the terms of
the will of Andrew Jackson. Jr., who
directed that it be turned over to
the last surviving South Carolina
veteran of the Mexican war.
The provisions as to the disposal
Of the vase according to the will OF
President Jackson himself were
somewhat indefinite, and his son de-
cided that the best solution would
be to award the memorial to the last
survivor. The passage in the will
of "Old Hickory" which refers to the
vase is interesting to all South Caro-
linians because it specifically men
tions the Palmetto State as the ma
tive State of the testator, and TO
Charlestonians in particular because
the vase was presented by the ladies
of that city. Here is the exact Ian
guage:
THE gold box presented to me by
the corporation of the city of New
York, the large silver vase presented
to me by the ladies of Charleston,
South Carolina. my native State, with
the large picture representing the un-
furling of the American banner, pre-
sented to me by the citizens of South
Carolina when it was refused to be
accepted by the United States senate
T leave in trust to my son, A. jack
son. Jr., with directions that should
our happy country not be blessed
with peace. an event not always to
be expected, he will at the close OF
the war or end Of the conflict pre-
sent each of said articles of lnestl-
mable value to that pdtllol iesluihS
in the city or State from which they
were presented who shall be adJuds-
ed bv his countrymen or the ladies to
have been the most valiant in de-
fence of his country and our coun-
try's rights
Senator Tillman made inquiry OF
the commissioner of pensions and
was informed that three persons now
residing in South Carolina are on the
Federal pension rolls as veterans OF
the Mexican war. The senator wrote
Mckee to this effect, explaining that
the younger Jackson's will directs
that the vase go to the last survivor.

How South CaroIinians Stand.

Washington, March 27.-Three
members of the South Carolina dele
cation in the house to-day voted with
the president in the test ballot on the
rule to limit debate on the bill to re-
peal the exemption clause OF the
Panama Tolls Act. These three were
Messrs. Whaley. Johnson and Lever.
Representative Byrnes, who IS
quite sick with an abscess in his ear
though not regarded by his physl-
clan as dangerously ill, was unable
to be present. He was paired in favor
of the rule. The three remaining
members of the delegation, Represen-
tatives Finley, Aiken and Ragsdale,
voted against the rule, indicating
that they will vote against repeal al
so.
The close shave on the adoption OF
the rule was a test of admlnlStra-
ton strength on the repeal PROPOSE
ton. and proves that the margin of
safety was by no means so large as
many have been saying. In spite OF
Secretary Bryan's statement to-day
that he is with the president on all
points in the matter some of the
shrewdest observers declare that the
repeal bill will not be passed by con-
gress in it's present shape. They
think it will be amended or blocked
in the senate.
The viewpoint of the South Caro-
linians who declared themselves
against the rule to-day is given as
follows in the words of Congressman
Finley, who voted against exemption
two years ago:
when the vote was cast in May OF
1912 against exemption there was no
plank on the subject in the democrat
ic platform. But after Mr.. Bryan
and the platform committee put it in
the platform I stood by it. l always
regard a party platform as declara-
ton of party principles. In addition
to this, when I became a candidate
for congress in 1912 signed pledge
which I understood then, and under
stand now. as binding me to support
the party platform. I have no per-
sonal feeling about the matter and
this talk about fighting the president
is nonsense"
