States proceeds or the assumption
that the Lusitania could be regarded
as an ordinary unarmed merchant
man. The imperial government allows
itself in this connection to point out
that the Lusitania was one of the
largest and fastest British merchant
ships built with government funds as
an auxiliary cruiser and carried ex-
pressly as such in the navy list issued
by the British admiralty.
1T is further known to the imperial
government from trustworthy reports
from its agents and neutral passen-
gers that for considerable time all the
more valuable British merchantmen
have been equipped with cannon and
ammunition and other weapons and
manned with persons who have been
specially trained in serving guns. The
ILusitania, too, according to informa-
ton received here, had cannon aboard
which was mounted and concealed be
low decks.
"The imperial government further
has the honor to direct the particular
attention of the American government
to the fact that the British admiralty
in a confidential instruction issued in
February, 1915, recommended its mer
camille shipping not only to seek pro
lection under neutral flags and distin
gushing marks. but also while thus
disguised to attack German subma
rine by ramming. AS special incita
tion to merchantmen to destroy sub
marines the British government als'

is unable to regard British merchant
men in the zone of naval operations

How He Saw the Louvre,

A French literary man fell in with
one of the new order of American
commercial men the other night and
asked him if he had seen the sights
of Paris.
"Yes,'' he said, "but I find that the
police have closed most of the sights.
ooh, no." said his literary friend,
'the real sights of Paris, the monu-
ments, are always open-the Pan
theon, Notre Dame, theSInvalides, the
Madeleine and the Louvre"
"Ah, yes. I have seen the Louvre
thoroughly"
"Thoroughly?" said the French
homme de lettres in surprise, recall
ing the labyrinthian vastness, of the
Louvre collection, "and how long did
it take your
Fully an hour" was the reply
which has left the Frenchman puz
zled ever since.

Tobacco Crop Reported.


Maj. w. A. Graham, Commissioner
Of Agriculture, stated that he had re-
ceived an admission from the crop
division of the Census Bureau at
Washington that the Federal figures
as to the tobacco crop in North Caro-
lima last year were short 21,00O,O 900
pounds and that the state department
figures On the crop for that year are
correct. The federal report for last
year shows North Carolina to have
been thirteenth among the states Of
the union in the value of agricultural
products, even with the 21,0OO,O0O
pounds of tobacco shortage, and Ma
jor Graham believes that the addi-
ton of the market value Of the 81
100000 pounds of tobacco will move
North Carolina up in rank in the
column of states to the rank of elev-
enth and possibly to tenth. He feels
sure that this state will be tenth in
the value of farm products when the
1915 crop reports are in.

GOV. CRAIG ISSUES THANkSGIV-
ING PROCLAMATION.

That North Carolina is now bouyant
with hope and looking forward with
ennobling faith to greater achieve
ment is the declaration by Governor
Craig in his proclamation calling on
the people of the state to fitt1ngly Cd
serve Thanksgiving Day, Thursday,
November 25. In his proclamation the
Governor says:
"The earth yields another harvest.
Plenty rewards toll. On field and Guy
peace pronounces it's bened1ct1on ana
industry is victorious. Opportunities
increase with progress. The quicken
ed conscience of the time demands
and creates conditions that stimulate
and respond to aspirations for ampler
and stronger life. The state Is buoy
ant with hope and looks forward with
ennobling faith to greater achieve
ment. Ours is the land of 1nexhaust-
ible power, where honest effort is en-
couraged, where the rights OF all men
in all ranks of society are recognized
and protected further than in any
other land. -
"Now, therefore, I, Locke Craig,
Governor of the State of North Caro-
lima, in obedience to the custom estab-
lished by our fathers, and in accord
ance with the President of the United
States do proclaim Thursday, the 25th
day of November, a day of Thanksg1v-
ing.
II call upon all the people to OBJ
serve this day by assembling in their
usual places of worship to pray for
strength and guidance and to give
thanks to the Almighty for His bless
ings, and for the glorious opportuni-
ties granted to us above all people.
According to our means we must
provide for the fatherless children and
widows and all who are desolate and
oppressed, for IL we do not we are
unworthy of our own good fortune.
Let us on this day dedicate our
selves with renewed energy to the
work laid off for each Of us, and call
ourselves to the Relation of our
obligations as neighbors and citizens
that we may strive with faith and
earnestness for the high social order,
whose law is perfect justice. Let us
in humility and gratitude remember
that we have been spared while the
world is consumed by war. We
should pray to the lands now strick-
en- by desolation and death, the bene-
ficence of peace may be restored, and
the power of righteousness exalted
in all the earth"
