GOOD ADVICE REPEATED.

grain, echo the county dcmonstra-
tors, and the cry is taken UP hy ev-
cry paper interested in agriculture
in the South. Since last fall the
farmers of the south have taken the
longest steps toward independence
and prosperity that this country has
ever witnessed. They not only rails
ed small crop of cotton and raised
1t cheaply, but they have classified
their crops raising their own grain
at home.
A high price for cotton can only
be maintained by the independence
of the farmer. The only way for the
producer to become and remain inde-
penden' IS by first raising all home
supplies at home. This advice has

GERMANS WAX SARCASTIC
ON NOTE TO VIENNA

BERLIN, Dec. 49, - Commenting upon
the United States note to Austria con-
cerning the sinking of the Ancona, the
Morgen Post says:
IF this report Is correct. President VIII
son Is endeavorinS to create vtterly new
maritime law. for according to the exist
ing law upon which America, indeed
based its attitude, it was permissible to
fire at "A ship which disregarded a demand
to stop and attempted to flee. irrespective
of whether or not passengers were
aboard.
I'm such case, the captain of the flee
ing ship assumes tho responsibility for
the welfare of his passengers"
Count Won Reventlow, in the Tages Zei-
tung. quotes n Washington dispatch re-
ferring to the danger of severance of re-
lations between Austria and the United
States. and says he does not know how
highly Austria estimates the danger of n
severance, and is curious to learn what
position K will take. He quotes with ap-
proval remarks of the Lokal Anzeiger,
and declares the United States demands
that a submarine shall not fire when
ship fees after being challenged, but
shall in respectful silence let 1t fee."

GERMAN PAPERS in u. S.
CALL NOTE UNFAIR

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-Bernard Ridder,
in the Stats Zeitung, expresses the hope
that Austria Hungary will ask for arbi-
trdtion, and says:
president Wilson's Ancona note is his
first concise and statesmanlike document,
and. If his premises are unassailable, he
would find the whole nation soldly be-
hind him.
"If the Austro-Hungarian submarine
commander had spared the Ancona, Aus
tria-Hungary claims, the steamship
would have carried on her return trip
death for the Austrian soldiers. American
lives must be held sacred everywhere,
but not at the cost of making unjust de-
mands on other nations, and so long as
the Presidents Interpretation OF the law
of nations is not proved to be correct,
however pleasant it may be to all of us,
his peremptory demands on Austria
Hungary cannot be called just"
CINCINNATI, o., Dec, l3.-The Volks-
blatt says
"The President can effectually protect
American citizens from submarine dan
ger by issuing to them the order pro-
mulgated by England in the Russo
Japanese war TO the effect that British
subjects must stay away from belligerent
ships. If the President has set his heart
upon involving our country in the Euro
pean war, ne will not accomplish his de-
sign. Congress Is everything but pleased
with the Presidents conduct of foreign
affairs"

BRITISH APPROVE NOTE,
SAY ATTACKS WILL END

LONDON, Dec 19.-Tho Daily News this
morning says editorially:
The stern, uncompromisng note which
the United states addressed to vienna
brings into high relief once more the es-
sential character of the struggle The
brutal outrages perpetrated with official
countenance by the Central Powers have
united civilized humanity against Ger
many's cause. Against such a force
strong power may snatch transient ad-
vantages. but the end will be the more
certain for them"
Contrasting the tone of the note with
the one sent to Germany after the Lusi-
tania disaster, the Daily Express con-
cludes that the note would have been
more Impressive had II been addressed
to the Power capable of injurng the
United States instead of to its ally, from
which the United States has nothing to
fear. The note sent to Vienna. how
ever, Is direct and almost bereft of COM
pliments. Germany may sin with prac-
tical impunity, but woe betde Austria if
she follows in her friends footsteps"
The Daily Chronicle says: Both
President Wilson's description of the out
rage and his demands are perfectly JUS
tilted, but would not both have been even
more justified in the Lusitania case?
However, we may congratulate the Pres
ident on his novel vlgor. His demand for
the punishment of the captain of the sub
marine may cause semihumorous COM
plication behind the scenes should 1t turn
out that he was German officer COM

SUBMARINE MISSING,
Is REASON FOR DELAY

VIENNA, Dec. 13.-The reason for Aus
trlas delay in replying to the American
GoNernments inquiry for details IN the
Ancona case is that II has been impossible

lne submarine involved. although every
eiort mas been made to do so.

uIlormation would be obtained as soon as
possible few days later It had not vet
peeh possible to find the submarine and
lothlhs is known of its whereabouts up
10 now As the submarine is a large one
with wide radius of action. II is de-
clared, this might easily happen. II ia
considered possible also that the subma,
rine may have met with misfortune.
Since the submarine commanders first
report upon the sinking of the Ancona al
ready had been published. it was neces-
sary, II is asserted here to submit TO
MIN the allegations of the Ancona's crew
and passengers before the questions
asked by the United States could be an

1t now appears that supplementary

Elizabeth Chief of Police, How

Been "Bunked"

Loring p Crosman today is with his
father in Portland. Me. The young Hay-
erford College graduate, who told the
police in Elizabeth, N. j., on Saturday
the remarkable story of his "Jekyll and

frlghten young women at night got on
with a fine and promise, and now the
police believe they been "bunked."
The fine was SEQ in each OF three cases,
there being three girl cOmplainants The
father paid these without a murmur.
The promise was by young Crosman him
self to go 10 a sanitaTium for treatment
But today Michael Mulcahey, chief Of
police in Elizabeth. got so many mes
sages from out of town that he has sup
planted the feeling of pity for Crosman
with one OF scorn for himself. lie said
he believed that Crosman's "Jekyll and
Hyde" story was a lie. pure and simple:
that II was simply yarn built up and
held ready By Crosman il he should ever
run counter 10 the police.
The chief said II was his idea that
crosman had in some instances carried
his Hyde" activities a good deal far
ther than the mere terrifying Of young
girls. Inquiries about crosrpan came
from the Newark. New York. Brooklyn,
Jersey City and Rayonne police
