WILSON HOPES NEUTRALITY
WILL AID PEACE MOVEMENT
Whole World Will BE Looking To
United States For Food-servino
Many Preserving Friendship Of All
Await Decisive Battle to Urge
Peace Again.

Washington, Aug. 26.-Coincident
with Japan's declaration of war on
Germany, and the consequent exten
sion Of the European conflict to the
Far East, the capital of the United
States became the clearing house oi
communication for the belligerent ma.
tions.
With her Representatives abroad
acting for nearly every nation at war,
the Washington Government is being
kept busy. Communication between
Germany and Japan and her ally,
Great Britain, also is by way of the
United States. Germany and Russia
are forced, through the control of wire
facilities by Germany's enemies, to
communicate with each other by way
of the United States, and through
American diplomats in those two
countries.
The position of the United States
never was bigger; no President ever
had the opportunity of serving so
many nations while retaining the
friendship of all.
At the State Department today,
the position of the United States with
regard to all the warning nations, and
this included Japan, was reaffirmed
one of strict and impartial neutrality.
Not only is the United States the
general clearing house of communi-
cation between the warning nations,
but it is rapidly becoming the sup
ply nation. Officials. of the Govern
ment affirm that, in a few weeks, the
whole world will be looking to this
country for food.
BY the position of the United
States, the President hopes to make
the nations power for peace greater,
and, at the proper time, he will re-
offer his offices for mediation to the
warning powers.
He maintained that the stricter the
neutrality of the United States is,
the more powerful for peace will her
arguments be when the time comes
to make them, which will be immedi-
ately following a decisive battle, in
the opinion Of Administration officials.
The apprehension that the United
States might be drawn into the
struggle is rapidly giving way to
feeling that, perhaps it will be the
fortune of the American Government
to stop the war.

TIGER DRAWS ONLY
A SMALL FINE
FIRST oFFENsE WAS MITIGATING
CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH MADE
JUDGE EASY.

Another conviction for operating a
blind tiger was made today in Judge
Greer's court when George Jones was
given $50 fine, which is the mini
mum. George has been operating a
joint down in the Newman's Quarters.
AS evidence against him one of the
deputy sheriff's produced a bottle of
gin of the worst variety which he had
bought from the place.
A negro woman VINO cooks for a
prominent family here, came in yester-
day morning and told her mistress: !:
$50 Gawd, Missy, dat niger Gawge
Jones sold quart of gin to de high
sheriff hissef."
The mitigating circumstance which
made the Judge let the negro off with
the light fine was that it was his first
offense
Bill Evans is to be tried this after.
noon on similar charge. Bill cannot
hope to be let off light on the first
offense excuse because he is well
known to the officers. The trial is
to be in j. G. Fairley's court.
Frank Williams, deputy sheriff
made both arrests.

THOUGHT PAINTERS
FALL WAS FATAL
Man Fell From Ladder And Spills
Bucket of Red Paint.

Philadelphia, Pa, Aug. 26.-When
James Welzen, 25 years DID, of 2O27
North 22nd street, fell distance of
rs feet from a ladder while painting
a roof at 2213 West Ontario street,
several women who rushed to his aid
thought he was bleeding to death be-
cause he was covered from head to
foot with carmine paint he had upset.
Without taking trouble to make an
examination, the women called I'D the
Falls of SchuylkiIl station and had the
patrol wagon rushed to the house.
Further examination, however, re-
vealed the fact that he was only
injured. The neighbors OBJ
tanned several buckets of soap and
water and removed the paint from his
face, hands and clothing. He was
taken to the Samaritan Hospital
where he was treated for contusions
and several decorations. He later
returned and thanked his benefactors.

HALT WAR TO
SELECT A POPE
AUSTRIAN EMPEROR APPEALED
TO TO TAKE INITIATIVE IN
SUSPENSION.

Rome, Aug. 26.-Cardinal Agliardi,
sub-dean of the Sacred College of
Cardinals, appealed to that body to
intercede with the heads of the war
ring nations for proclamation of a
universal armistice during the whole
period of the coming Papal Conclave,
which is to begin at Rome on August
81.
The venerable cardinal, himself in
evidence as candidate for the Papal
chair in case the idea of a short term
Pontificate wins favor at the conclave,
argued that the electors, especially
those representing contending nations,
could not fulfil their duty with requis-
lite peace of mind if, during their with
drawal from ordinary affairs and in
tercourse with the outside world, they
were nevertheless goaded by the
thought that this "barbaric bloodspill-
ing" was going on mean time.
The other cardinals, deeply stirred
by their brothers fervent plea, agreed
to exert pressure upon Emperor Fran
els Joseph Of Austria in hope of caus-
ing suspension of hostilities.

TWO MARRIAGES,
THREE DIVORCES
RECORD At COURT HOUSE YES
TERDAY MIGHT HAVE BEEN
BETTER.

1t is fortunate that the record of
yesterday at the court house is not a
fair average or this city might soon
have a reputation like Reno, Nevada.
There were two marriage licenses is
sued by the circuit clerk and across
the hall in the office of the chancery
clerk three petitions for divorce were
filed. "
One of the marriage licenses was is
sued to Fred Miles, a photographer
here and Miss Willie Whitlock.
There was some difficulty in secur-
ing the second license on account of
the youth of the girl Mrs. M. E.
Toney and her daughter, Miss R. M.
Toney, appeared at the circuit clerks
office yesterday morning and asked T.
j. Nixon for a marriage license. He
would not issue the license, however,
at first. The girl, he said, did not have
the appearance of being more than IA
years of age. The mother was willing
to give her permission, but Mr.. Nixon
insisted that it was the place of the
man to apply for the license. They
went away and returned later with ].
A. McCauly, railroad man, aged
about 30 years, Mr.. Nixon stated, and
the license was issued and signed by
the mother and both parties.
A divorce petition was filed by
Carrie Mcbride against her husband.
Richard Mcbride, claiming non-sup-
port and desertion hs the grounds for
asking for divorce. She said they
were married in 1902 and lived to-
gether until 1906 when he left her and
she has not heard from him since.
Two other petitions were fined by
negroes.

HUNTS UHLANS IN
ARMED MOTOR
BELGIAN OFFICER HAS AN AUTO
TRUCK EQUIPPED WITH A
MACHINE GUN.

London, Aug ga correspondent
of the Daily Chronicle, telegraphing
from Antwerp, tells the story of the
exploits of Lieut. Henkart of the Bel
gian army, who has apparently devel-
oped the art Of hunting for uhlans
with an armorplated motor car, carry.
ing mitrailleuse, or machine gun,
to a fine poilt. Lieut.. Henkart is
now at Antwerp with the body OF the
Belgian army, but every day he goes
out with his car, and he has brought
down scores Of uhlans and other Ger.
man soldiers who have crossed his
path.
His principal work, however, is re-
connoitring the enemy's position, and
the killing Of uhlans is merely d.
version for the lieutenant in the
course Of this highly important work.
He has had several narrow escapes
from capture, and the body of his car
shows hundreds Of bullet marks which
the armor plating has stopped.
Lieut.. Henkart formerly was an off,
Ger in the Belgian Grenadiers, but
had retired and was living the quiet
existence of country gentleman when
the war broke out. He at once yolun-
teered and was detailed to the Gen.
eral Staff. He proceeded to have two
powerful motor cars heavily armored,
and today the Belgians are equipping
many more such cars which will un-
,doubtedly be used with great effect
iveness during the future course of
the war.
Carrying machine guns, these cars
should prove to be weapons of great
efficiency and Possibilities. Lieut..
Henkart is convinced that the armor-
plated motor win surpass the aero
plane in scouting ability.
When he goes he takes with him
three companions, generally a gen.
darme or civil guard, an engineer Off
Ger and cyclist Gardiner, together
with the latter's bicycle, which is Of
ten useful in penetrating where the
motor car cannot proceed Some
times he is followed by the second
car, but usually Lieut.. Henkart prefers
to use only one of the machines.

SKlNNIN' FASTER

'ro~ns' were in police court today
charged with flirting with the Goddess
Vi chance. What was the gamer"
asked Judge BatsNp of one of the
culprits. I'VE was sRinin', Jedge," said
Atkins. Where was the gamer" he
was asked. Down on Mobile
street, Mr.. Batson." what do Won
play this game with" asked the Judge
There have been so many cases of
gaming here lately and all have been
SKIN" 1t is Of comparative recent
origin and seems to have entire,v
taken the place of the classic game Of
craps I'VE plays hit wild cyards."
Atkins said.
How come all you niggers have
quit shooting craps and have gone to
sk'nin? "Hits quicker, ledge. One
nlgger gifts all de money in mighty
snort while.' Atkins said. En-.
couraged by sympathetic listeners
ne went on. "Tuddy was wild me ri
and him was throwin' de principle"
"nats that?" the Judge asked. Eve
mad the cyards and was dealin'." "AIl
right, boys, fine you IS piece" the
Judge said and turned to the next case
"Jedge aint got but 49," Atkins smoke
up at once. 81 thought you said Won
was throwin' de principle" he said.
1 was, Jedge, but de niger whad
won all the money he lef jes befo' Mr.
Mclnnls run in on U.S."
Another striking difference between
sklnln' and craps is that a negro
don't mind being accused of skinin,
but he will jump out of third story
window rather than be caught in a
crap game. "He will admit to stealing
morse or anything like that, but if
there was ever a negro that would
CONFESS to shooting craps, never saw
him." said Judge Batson. 'It is one
of the incomprehensible things about
the negro character"
There seems to be some misunder-
standing about the Susie Shackleford
Blind Tiger case. She has been tried
twice within week. On August 21st
she was convicted of retailing and
given the limit by Judge Batson. which
Is $lOO and 80 days. When the Off
GERS went to arrest her on the day be.
lore the trial they found case of
beer in her possession and the circum-
stances surrounding were suspicious.
charge was preferred against
her on that account for which she was
tried yesterday but was discharged for
the lack of conclusive evidence.

Many Homesteaders Plan to Make
Final Proof at Gregory.

Gregory.-Business at the United
States land office in this city promises
to be more active during the next
month or six weeks than at any time
since the Office originally was opened
for business. Thus far about 125 Of
the homesteaders of Mellette and Ben
nett counties have given notice that
they will make final proof on their
lands during that period. Receiver
B~urkholder of the land office recent
~ has had many inquiries from the
homesteaders or the two counties ask
ing whether or not there is any pro-
vision for extending the time of the
second payments on their land, which
now are falling due. AS the law makes
no provision for such extensions, it is
necessary for the homesteaders to ar
range for making final proof in the
near future in order to meet the re-
uuirements Of the law.
