Self Willed? Yes!

New York World Writing to
Baron Won Burian, Austro. Hunga
ran minister of Foreign Affairs,
Ambassador Dumoa asked attention
to the fact that with worldwide
war in progress further pressure from
Europe against the manufacture and
sale of munitions in this country
would not only be useless, but, "hav-
ing regard to the self-willed temper
ment of the President, harmful"
The letter containing this expires
sion was entrusted in secret TO mes
senger who CHANGED to be intercepted.
Why should it have been necessary by
subjerluge to transmit such inlorma-
ton as TO the character of the Presl-
dent of tine United States? Has it
not been known for years that he is
selfwilIed?
Jim Smith, in New Jersey, found
that out long ago, with our old friend,
Col. George Harvey a fair second.
Tie trusts once barrcaded in that
S. ate can testify to it. The men in
Wall Street VINO 'or generation had
kept strange hold on American
banking and currency and enjoyed a
monopoly OF depressiuns aud panics
knew all about it. The vaiOus

say nothing Of IIuena in Mexico
and his imitators in Colorado, were in
close touch with tie situal ION.
What DR.. Dumbl attempted to
convey privately to his superlors in
Vienna WAS shouted from the house
tops in America. In support of his
fellow citizens who make and sell
munitions OF war, everybody knows
that the President stands like ada
mant, for two reasons, both vital.
One is absolute right under law ma
tional and International The other
is the consideraD ion OF national de-
Tense. With the rest Of the world
war-crazy and armed to The teeth, to
say that we may not manufacture
and sell arms and ammunition is to
forbid us in case of need TO buy hem.

Provision Made for Appointment of
Highway Employees in Accordance
With Merit System.

Six states, namely, Illinois, Ken

New York and Wisconsin. now have
civil service laws providing for ap

A description of the system in effect
in each of the six states appears in

SOLDIERS KILLED IN
MIMIC WAR

LONDON, May 25.-Two soldiers are
reported dead in the military camp at
Colchester, few miles from London,
as result of inhaling poisonous gases
while engaged in mimic trench war
fare. 1t is said that experiments were
being conducted for the purpose of de-
Veloping means to counteract the gas
es alleged to have been used by the
German troops in Flanders.
A sapper who had gone into a gas
filled trench was overcome ard several
others who went in search of him also
succumbed. The sapper, a private
named Williams, and the commander
of the squad, Lieutenant Darton, died
before fresh men succeeded in getting
the party into the open air.

ATURE's MEDICINE, AIR,BEST
TONIC, IS IDEA OF QUEEN
MARY

LONDON, May 25.-Queen Mary is
something of a believer in common
sense as opposed to drug-taking, and
does not place the reliance upon doc
tors that some royalties display so
lavishly. There are royal ladies who
are constantly finding some symptom,
about which they hastily consult the
most popular doctor of the day.
Not so Queen Mary. Natures medi-
cine, change of air. is her substitute
for a tonic for all her children, and
only when it is really necessary does
she trouble the court physicians on
her own account.

SUMTER GRAIN IS WANTED
BY ATLANTA MILL COMPANY
WILL CONVERT SUMTER WHEAT
INTO BEST BRAND FLOUR

Sumter grown wheat is in demand,
and the Atlanta Milling Co. is in the
market to pay farmers of this section
the highest market price for their
grain. The wheat crop in Sumter and
neighboring counties is now being
harvested and, for lack of facilities to
have it made into flour here, many
farmers in Sumter and neighboring
counties will sell to the trade at least
portion of their crop. The Atlanta
Milling Co. is the largest and best
equipped Touring mill in the South,
manufacturing "Capitola" and other
popular brands, and has for many
years been represented in this terri
tory by Mr.. William J. Thornton of
Americus. The company has an at
tractive advertisement in this edition
OF the T1mes-Recorder setting forth lts
purpose to buy all the Georgia wheat
offered, to be converted into pure and
nutritious flour at it's extensive At
lanta plant.
In order to assist the farmers who
may desire to ship wheat to their
mill, the Atlanta Milling Co. has sent
several thousand sacks here in which
wheat may be packed for shipment.
These sacks can be had upon applica-
ton to the Americus Grocery Co., and
will be loaned to the farmers thus
shipping wheat to the mill. Wheat
can also be shipped in bulk, in carload
lots, if desired.

Germans Hold Valuable
Territory In France

ing. Flour mills, brick kilns, distil-
Ieries, glass works, pottery works, shoe
and hat factories tobacco factories,
and large plants for the production Of
hardware, enameled iron hollow ware
and edge tools are strewn through this
thickly populated section in profusion.
In the shops situated within these de-
partments most of the French cabinet
work is done, and, here, near by the
beet fields, much of the French sugar
is refined.
Moreover, here, where is the great
est industrial development, is, also, the
most intensive agriculture. Neighbor-
ing Belgians have not brought their
farms up to a higher standard of pro-
duction than has been reached by the
fields of these northern French depart
ments. Everywhere throughout this
region, where there are no mines and
factories, smiling gardens and fertile,
well-cultivated farms take their place.
All of the cereals, sugar be9ts, fruits,
hops, tobacco, fax and large droves CT
cattle are grown upon them. Some OF
the best known dairies of France are
in this territory.
"The stretch of bare 10000 square
miles, with it's population of 100000,
its bounteous agriculture, it's rich coal
and iron mines, and its teeming manu-
facture, is one of the most important
districts in all Europe. Some idea of
it's richness can be had from the fact
that while the average per-acre value
for all France is about $3.50, that Of
these northern departments is $295"

KING CHARLES To
BECOME SAINT
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, May 25.-The name of
King Charles I. of England is to be
added to the Church of England's Cal
endar of Saints, if a resolution passed
by the lower House of Convocation of
the Province of Canterbury receives
the required sanction from Parliament.
of the Convocation have no
binding power until they have been
legalized by the House of Parliament
or unless they have been made under
Royal License.
The attempt to canonize Charles J..
has been made repeatedly. Those ad-
vocating such a move see in the kings
death on the scaffold nothing but a
martyrdom for the Anglican church
and for parliamentary government.
Their opponents urge that the king
merely met the just deserts of life of
political trickery, lying and absolutism,
For many years during the early eigh-
teenth century the date of his execu-
tion, January 80, was set apart for OBJ
servance and sermons in memory of
the Blessed Martyr King Charles"
