imagining writer, is spending a few
days at Wild wood. In an Interview
with q Journal representative Mr.. Sin
not said, "While 1 have travelled all
along the Atlantic coast [ must say
that Wild wood is the most refined and
at the same time the most progressive
seaside resort 1 have ever visited. The
beautiful aud safe beach front, the
diversity In boardwalk attractions for
the amusement OF old and young and
the neatness and beauty manifested
throughout the RESIDENT Il section will
tend in placing Wildwood at the head
of the seaside resorts on the Atlantic
coast. | believe the only thing that
Wild wood needs is more publicity.
The outside world should be more fully
informed of the wonderful advantages
the resort offers to those seeking rest or
recreation and if the Board of Trade or
ChRmbe of Commerce here would take
up this work systematically 1 feel sure
the attendance would rapidly increase
with each succeeding year. Property
values would Increase accordingly,
thus afording a safe aud profitable
work for investors"

U. S. POSITION STATED
Officially Announced Where This Gov
ernment Stands.

The position of this government in
regards to Mexico was officially stat
ed as follows:
THAT neither CarranzG nor any
other military faction in Mexico is in
control of the country, or can be con-
stdered as triumphant in the repub-
lie.
THAT the real purpose Of the revo-
luton was accomplished year ago
whea@ Huerta Yas overthrown, and
that the strife since then has been
over factional differences and has not
been in reality a revolution.
That 1t considers Gen. Villa, while
financially weakened. still an active
element, who must be reckoned with
in an adjustment.
That the so-called Cientificos do
not enter the problem because it is
considered that the overthrow OF
Huerta disposed of that element.
THAT the greater portion of Mexi-
CO is not at pease. as Gen. Carranza
claims, because fighting continues in
many sections from Tehuantepec to
the Rio Grande and from Vera Cruz
to Mazatian.
THAT the first problem to be solv-
ed in the restoration Of peace is to
find foS provisional president a man
who represents the cause Of the origi-
nal revolution against Huerta, but
who does not necessarily represent
any Of the factions now at war"

LONDON WATCHES BALKANS;
GERMANS TO ATTACK SERBIA
Russia's Rejection of Peace Offers
Means Continued Fighting in
East--Balkans Simmering

London, Monday: Russia having
rejected what, in England, Is regard
ed as bona fide proposal made by
the German emperor for peace with a
a part of Poland traded for Galicia,
the great struggle in the east must
continue, and as there is no indica-
tion OF an immediate general often
sive In the west, the struggle Of the
Russian forces to shake themselves
free Of the Austro-German remains
the chief factor in the war news.
The operations in the Dardanelles
will be closely watched because Of
their possible bearing on the Balkan
situation again simmering by reason
OF renewed quadruple entene pres
sure on Bulgaria and Grece. Never
before has the importance of these
operations been more keenly realized
In Great Britain and France than
now. especially as there are many in
dications that Germany plans to de-
liver her next hard blow against Ser
bia in order to link up with Turkey.
1t Is increasingly manifest that
Germany looks to the east for a set
tlement of the war. BY over-runnipg
Serbia she would occupy a very fav-
orayle strategic position to invoke
Bulgaria's aid in reaching CONSTANT
nople along the main line. The ex-
pectations OF such move doubtless
has brought about renewed negoSia-
tions between the entente allies and
Bulgaria.
The Turks claim successes in the
recent trench warfare on the CALI
poll peninsula, but there has been no
| noteworthy change in the situation.
The Austro-Germans continue to
make progress both to the northeast
and to the southwest OF Warsaw and
the Austro-Hungarians claim to have
cut in two Russian forces after los
| ing the Lublin- -Chelm railroad.

GERMANY OFFERED PEACE
Petrograd Newspaper Confirms Story
Of Proposals to Russia.

London reports: Reuters Petro-
grad correspondent transmits the fol-
lowing: "The Bourse Gazette learns
from an unimpeachable source that
the German Emperor made an offer
of peace to Russia last week through
the king Of Denmark. The answer
sent to the king stated that the ques-
tion Of peace negotiations could not
be raised at the present time"
Petrograd reports Sunday that the
report that Germany had made peace
proposals to Russia became known in
official circles here several days ago
and was discussed freely in the lob
bies OF the Duma, says the Vechernee
Vremya.
1--WE learn on good authority"
says the newspaper, that Germany,
through Denmark, proposed to Rus
sia separate peace, Russia to re-
ceive Galicia, while Germany would
retain the western district OF Poland.
A representative OF the foreign office
categorically denied that there was
the remotest possibility OF any peace
Negotiations. In the Hobbies OF the
Duma the proposal was dismissed as
Unworthy OF serious consideration "

TO RESUME CONFERENCE
Pan-Americans to Meet in Washing
ton Again Wednesday.

The Pan-American conferences be-
gun in Washington last week to plan
for restoring governemnt in Mexico
probably wfll bs resumed in New
York Wednesday. Secretary Lansing
made this announcement Sunday
night after his return from New
York, where he conferred with Secre-
tary McAdoo. Mexican affairs and
the cooperative effort of the United
States and Latin-American republics
to end the factional strife were dis
cussed.
I'VE talked of the Mexican situa-
tion," said Secretary Lansing, "but
we did not consider any financial
plan for supporting a Mexican gov
ernment. The principal purpose OF
my visit to New York was to talk
with Mr.. McAdoo concerning inan-
cial arrangements for the Pan-Ameri-
can Financial Congress ut Buenos
Aires in September. There is con-
siderable preliminary work to be
done in connection with that"

SCATHING WORDS PASSED
Greenville Candidates Have Severe
Tilt I'm Opera House.

The only excitement OF the race for
the vacant seat in the Greenville del
egation to the general assembly oc-
Cured Saturday night when Marvin
r. Reese, recent graduate of the Uni
versity OF South Carolina, essayed to
denounce the legislative delegation.
Mr.. Reese said he would prevent
"rascality" when he got in the House.
T. p. Cothran, member Of the delega-
ton, asked what he meant by the
remark and the speaker replied that
he had reference to the actions of the
Greenville county delegation.
Whereupon Mr.. Cothran called him
"a liar and a dirty puppy" The
speaker was flabbergasted but finally
said he would not resent the remark
as Mr.. Cothran was an "old man"
Then Senator Earle arose and said,
81 am a young man, Mr.. Reese, and
tell you that you are a liar and q
dirty puppy" The speaker took his
medicine quietly.
