The Rollins & Durham hardware
st ore on Front street was again visit
ed some time during Saturday night
or Sunday morning and about 500
worth of knives and razors and stuff
of that nature removed. The entrance
was made through the same window
that the thieves entered the store at
about Fair time. and the amount Of
loot was practically the same. The
stuff taken was in the front part Of
the store and the thieves must have
worked very near the window. The
firm does not have light in the store
at night and although the police pass
that way frequently, the robbery was
not discovered until Sunday morning.
and as a result the police have moth.

its quota of the young men and young

President Wilson's patient but unyieldng devotion
vital principles of law and humanity has brought with
honor out of the German crisis
The memorandum filed by Count Bernstorff with
Secretary Lansing complete acceptance of the American
the part of the German government The guarantee is
specific
"Liners will not be sunk by submarines with
out safety of the lives of noncombaans provided the
liners do not try to escape offer resistance
This pledge embodes the essential rules of naval
warfare for which the United States government conended
since the imperial government issued its decree
February 1t safeguards the rights of which
United States has commended
Chief Justice White describes Germany surrender to the
presidents demands the greatest diplomatic achievement
OF the United States generation 1t is that and
The victory brilliant victory for the United States but the
consequences extend far beyond national boundaries The
president has reestabished international law He again
made it living and compelling force in the affairs of
wrecked world He has demonstrated that the midst
OF conflict that seemed to have turned law into anarchy
tain fundamental principles remained that the mghest
military known to human history could not continue
ignore.
This is the presidents victory and victory shared
by the American people whose loyal support and splendid
mon made it possible His in them has been vim
Dictated no less than their trust in him.
By the successful of peaceful methods bringing the
German to the American definition of neutral
rights the United States has gained prestige among the
nations 1t is prestige that could have by rush
ing bndy into matter what ships and armies
might have done in battle This is moral triumph which
the circumstances its value
anything that might have been achieved by force It has been
gained because the president allowed himself to be
ed by the waratany price extremists the price

Thanks to his flrmness and enacty purpose
law built by the slow processes of civilization throughout
the centuries remains to govern the relations nation with
nation Thanks also to his fmness and tenacy purpose
the Republic stands before the world the guardian
protector of that law.
