WILL REFUSE u. s. DEMANDS;
GERMANY NOT TO ACQUIESCE
New York Paper Claims Inside Tract
From Diplomatic Sources That
Are Unquestionable.

The New York World of Thursday
says in a Washington dispatch: Ger
many will defy the United States and
refuse to discontinue her present
methods of submarine warfare. The
answer of the kaiser's government to
the representations being formulated
by President Wilson has been made
known. It will be polite and suave
refusal to desist from that policy
which resulted in torpedoing the
Gulflight, flying the American flag,
and sinking the Lusitania, bellig-
erent merchant ship with scores Of
American citizens aboard.
The usual formalities Of note eX-
changing and representations must
be followed, but the ultimate refusal
of Germany to meet the American de-
mands already is determined.
Germany will continue to destroy
belligerent vessels without warning.
If Americans persist in travelling un-
der the British, French or Russian
flag they may be killed.
An official of the German embassy
has said that this is the German posi-
ton, and it will not be modified or
abandoned. He added that the Ger
man foreign office will politely in
form the state department that Ger
many regrets that Americans have
been killed, but it can not accept the
terms of the Washington govern
ment.
Despite the grave possibilities in
| the present situation, there appears
to be no apparent desire on the part
! Of those who are familiar with Ber-
Inns viewpoint to avoid the issue.
If statements made in diplomatic
circles can be credited, Germany is
not at all worried by the prospect OF
war with the United States. 1t was
suggested in responsible quarters
that she is looking for an excuse to
| break off relations, because she is
prepared to send a flotilla of two
hundred submarines on the high seas
to destroy every munition or food
carrying ship that leaves the United
States for British and French ports.
The greatest single desire on the
part of Germany, according to these
diplomats, is to block the allies sup
ply of American-made guns and am
munition. To carry out this plan she
| would welcome an open rupture with
the United States.
The American army is not taken
seriously in Germany. The Ameri-
can navy would be of negligible val
ue in the present conflict, according
to the German military leaders, and
the hostility of the United States
would be more than balanced by the
lessened quantity of war munitions
shipped from this country.
! German diplomats insist that Rus
sia will be helpless whenever the
! American supply Of guns and am
munition is cut off, and her only hope
lies in contin uance of importations
from America. The German posi-.
ton, as stated above, reached The
World correspondent from sources
that can not be questioned.

ANTI=GERMAN OUTBREAKS;
BRITONS WRECK SHOPS
London Reports Renewed Viole1 ce
Toward Teutonic CitiZens-At-
tackled Wherever Seen.

Anti-German riots in the east end
Of London were renewed Wednesday
morning with even greater violence
than on the days preceding. Wher-
ever a GERMAN showed himself he
was attacked.
The police force has been so thiI-
ned by drafts sent to the army that it
had difficulty in dealing with the
angry crowds. Special constables had
to be called out.
Anti-German outbreaks Of particu.
lar severity occurred in tho neighbor-
hood Of the East India docks. Sixty
or seventy German shops were wreck
ed. Germans II the vicinity are unit
ing for self-defense, and police rein
forcements are being rushed to the
scene.
German establishments were sack
ed and their contents scattered over
the streets. The Germans themselves
were breaten or forced to so into hid
ing.
The police in some cases were de,
fed by angry crowds, and some Off
GERS were injured trying to protect
Germans. When proprietors of Ger
man business places were caught
they were severely mauled In some
cases their clothes were torn from
their backs.
One German was thrown into E
horse trough with the reminder that
his cor patriots had been drowniLe
women and children. His life was
saved by the police. Several German
butchers tried to escape in theil
carts, racing down the streets at z
mad gallop, but most of them were
run down and their vehicles smashed
Many Russian Jews, mistaken fol
Germans, flocked to police stations in
the east end and pleaded for protec'
ton.

HAS NO INFORMATION
German Embassy Says it Does Nos'
Know What Reply VIII Be.

Although the German embassy an-
nounced in a statement that it had
no formation to the reply the Ger
man government would make to tho
American note, tension over the sit
uation was diminished somewhat in
Austro-German quarters because Of
the belief that Germany, being desi-
rous of preserving friendly relations
with the United States, probably
would find some way of meeting the
American governments position with
out developing a crisis.
Count Won Bernstorff took occasion
to communicate to the state depart
ment formal denial of published re-
ports that the embassy had inrinlate6
that Germany in her answer would
refuse to comply with the requests of
the United States.

DEATH OF STONEWALL JACKSON
Sunday, May 9, Was Fffty-second
Year of Fateful Event.

Fifty-two years ago Sunday ,night,
May 9, Thomas Jonothan CfStone-
walTD Jackson was shot down by
error of his own men, and the
great Southern soldier lost forever to
the cause of his republic. To-day, as
the great European war is in pro-
gress the recognition of his great
genius is everywhere admitted, and
the leading generals in the present
war have testified voluntarily to his
military ability Without doubt he
was one of the greatest war chief
tains the world has ever produced.
In speaking OF the assistance he
rendered the Confederate cause the
Greenville News recently said that
Lee, who called 'StonewalP jack
son his strong right arm, once said
that he would have won Gettysburg
! if Jackson had been there. Be that
as it may, the almost uninterrupted
victories of the army Of Northern
Virginia ended when Jackson passed
aWay. charlottesville marhe6 the
flood tide OF the Confederate arms.
Two months later came Gettysburg,
and from thence on to Appomattox
Lees forces, despite all their mar
velous courage and tenacity, were
never again invincible.
"Jackson's place in military his
| tory is unique. Most great reputa-
tions were made by long years of ser
vice. His career was compressed into
scanty % months, when Lee pointed
to him standing like stone WALL at
Bull Run, to the early May day in
1853, when he marked his corps
around the front of Hooker's army,
smashed in it's right flank and gave
the Confederacy it's most brilliant vic
tory, only to fall under the fire of his
own men.
GA terrible partnership was that
! between the cavalier and the Puri-
tan; between Lee, who embodied the
chivalry of Virginia, and Jackson,
who was direct spiritual descend
ant of the men that fought with
| Cromwell at Naseby. In all crises
! the two men seemed to fight with a
single brain and a single purpose,
destitute alike of the jealousy and
intrigue that all but wrecked the
army of the Potomac.
jackson presents a strange, ap-
pealing figure on the pages of his
tory. He was as gentle and gracious
as Lee, as silent and tactiturn as
Grant, as daring and audacious as
Stuart or Sheridan, as relentless as
Sherman and with it all there was an
| intensity of religious fervor that be-
| longed to the 18th century rather
than the 18th. The war to him was
a holy war. He went to battle with
a prayer on his lips, and he went
from battle to give thanks to God,
who had crowned his army with vic
tory.
Appealing from his native sod
| Lay bare thine arms-stretch forth
thy rod,
Amen. That's Stonewall's way
even the bullets that struck him
down he regarded as providentially
directed by a definite divine purpose.
There is no more mendacious phrase
than that of a born soldier but here
was man who was beyond question
born soldier-sa soldier who hated
war, who was dazzled neither by am
btiion nor glory, who fought for
principle and principle alone, and
whose military genius was elemental.
Peace to his ashes. A unite dnation
can be proud that he was numbered

Penny Wise and Pound Foolish

Hard times make every woman
look to see where she can save
money, which, of course, is SEN
sible and proper If not carried
too far.
In the case of food it would be
foolish to attempt TO substitute
sawdust for breakfast food
because it is cheaper. Everyone
knows sawdust has no food value
and it's use would be a positive
detriment to the health.
Alum baking powders may cost
little less than cream Of tartar
powders like Dr.. Priceis, but
many of the highest food authori-
ties both in this country and
abroad have declared them to be
injurious and not safe to use.
To attempt to cut the cost of
living by using loW-grade alum
powders is unwise economy.

Girls Have Narrow Escape.

Atlanta. June "a. Several hund-
red girls narrowly escaped fire and
explosion fumes yesterday afternoon
on the second floor Of 3 straw hat
works in this city.
The girls had quit work and had
just lett the building when terrific
explosion was heard and the whole
upper part Of the building from
which they had emerged burst into
fame.
According to the fire chief, the
blaze must have started from an
explosion in the boiler room. By a
fortunate accident, everybody was
out of the upper part Of the build
ing at the time, and no lives were
lost. Had the explosion occurred
IS minutes earlier it might have
caused one Of the worst catas+rophes
the South has ever known.

The Letter E is very important,
as the following from the Gafney
Ledger will testify:
A friend recently handed US the
following:
Some one has advanced the opin-
ion that the letter e is the most
unfortunate character in the English
alphabet, because it is always out of
cash, forever in debt, never out of
danger and in he'll ali the time"
For some reason he overlooked
the fortunates Of the letter: 50, we
will call his attention to the fact
that e is never in war and always
in peace. It is the beginning Of ex-
istence, the commencement Of ease
and the end of trouble. Without it
there would be no meat, 10 life
and no heaven. It is the centre Of
honesty, makes love perfect. and
without it there would be no editors,
