Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1915-04-20

Now that spring has fairly broken
in France as well as in this country,
the people of the United States are
watching with interested apprehension
for the developments that have been
anticipated since the closing in Of win
ter. The understanding SO far as the
outside public has it. is that the great
British army that has been training in
England is to be used for a big drive"
and that some day soon there is to be
a tremendous battle all along the line.
If il is a fact that England has l,50O,-
600 fresh men to throw against the
Germans. the result will no doubt be
something decisive one way or the
other: but it is by no means certain
that she has such Il force. There have
been limitations to the effect that
Great Britain has all along been send
ing reinforcementS to replace losses
sustained during the winter and that
her much heralded reserve army is
nothing like as numerous as is gener-
ally supposed. 1t is intimated also
that instead of waiting for the Eng
lish to begin their big drive the
Germans may institute something
like a big drive of their own, and the
result might he very different from
that which is generally promised. OF
course ii seems only natural that the

Cables from China continue to bring
account of the persistent aggression OF
the Japanese against the Chinese. AS
to what the exact facts are it is diff
cult TO understand in this country. We
confess we have made no effort to get
at the inwardness of Chinese politics;
but think we are correct in saying that
the trouble is to be summed up in the
contentious of various parties and fac
tions-imperialistic, republican, etc,
with the Japanese egging any and all
of them on as best seems to suit their
advantage. 1t is clear that the Japan
csc already have a pretty strong hold
on China and they want a still strong
er hold. They want to dominate the
country evidently, and they are taking
advantage of the occupation of Great
Britain and Russia at home to push
their plans. There is reason to
believe that even Great Britain is
not al all pleased with the conduct
of Japan, and there is more or less
concern lest the Japanese push their
operations to a point that will compel
the United States to interfere for the
protection Of its own interests. At the
present time Japan is said to have at
least $4,000 soldiers in Chinese terri
tory; but all the while she is protesting
that she has no designs against Chi
ma; that she is perfectly friendly, and
that she is seeking for her W sub
jects only rights and privileges en-
joyed by the citizens of other cOun-
tries.

America as his opponents-the late j.
P. Morgan, Ryan and others. He lost
only because his opponents had thou
sands of dollars to his one, and by only
a narrow margin, even at that. In
view of all these facts and circum-
stances, we have an idea that If men
like Messrs. McAdoo and Williams had
any notion of going crooked in money
matters after they had reached the ze-
NTH Of mans ambition from the stand
point of power, they would have gone
after game Of rather greater import
ance than any one or all Of the Wash
ington banks. On the other hand too,
we can imagine that If by any POSSIBLE
ity the Riggs National bank or any
other bank, should have at any time
gone out Of the straight and narrow
way, and afterward found itself in the
clutches Of the law, represented by
such men as Messrs. McAdoo and
williams, it would be very natural to
cry out 'blackmail," Spite" or some
thing else Of that nature. Indeed if
under such circumstances 1t could not
reconcile itself to the idea Of lying
down and taking the medicine that
was properly coming to it, there was
nothing else for 1t to do.

Senator Nelson w. Aldrich Of Prov
idence, r. l., for many years the dom
mating figure of the United States SEN
ate, died last Saturday. Senator AL
drich was an apostle of high tariff,
and probably understood the whole
tariff subject as we'll as any man the
country has produced. He used his
knowledge and power first in behalf
of the manufacturers Of his own Sec
ton. New England, and after that as
far as possible for the Republican par
~ at large. He was also a master OF
the subject of finance, and was not
only the father Of the Aldrich-V e
land currency law, which is generally
credited with having been the means
of preventing an otherwise panic last
August; but is also commonly credit
ed with being the father Of the present
Regional Reserve banking system. He
was in favor of the creation Of one
central reserve bank that would domi-
nate everything rather than distribute
the country's reserve power among a
number Of regional banks; but it is not
to be denied that all the vital princi-
Piles of the present law were included
in the bill introduced by him.
