States as a result of the general ex-
change with Germany.
In his declaration of position, Sir
Edward Grey, the British foreign min
lister, defends the measures taken by
his government as reasonable and nee
essary in themselves. They are mere
ly an adaptation to modern methods
of warfare of the old principles of
the blockade. Germany must be over
come. the British declare, Gin view of
her shocking violation of the recog-
n1zed rules and principles of civilized
warfare" and therefore the methods
brought into use are justified.
Rejects Y. S. Contention.
England fatty rejects the American
contention that where a belligerent is
SO situated that it's commerce can
pass through adjacent neutral ports
as easily as through its own territory
its opponent has no right to interfere.
The entire British position Is summed
up. officials say. in the following dec
laration:
I'VE are interfering with no goods
which we would not be entitled to in
terfere with by blockade If the geo.
graphical position and the conditions
of Germany at present were such that
her commerce passed through her
own ports
United States officials declare they
can not accept any such statement
1t has insisted in all its dealings with
Germany that the belligerents can not
change the rules of the game so far
as neutrals are concerned. Secretary
of State Lansing stated today that it
will take time to study all of the legal
data. But he made it very plain by his
attitude that the proposed strong pro-
test will now be completed without
delay.
The United States will stand square
ly on its already announced position OF
insistence that it has free and I'm.
trammeled right to carry on its COM
merce with neutral nations This note
will now be completed and made ready
for action by President Wilson so soon
as he returns from Cornish.
The British suggestion that where
the government thinks its rights have
been violated by the British prize
courts, the matter be referred to arbi-
tration, will also be rejected, at least
for the present. The United States
will declare that until the great gen.
eral principle is settled all minor is
sues must be sidetracked.

COUNTRY CHURCH
AS SOCIAL CENTER

Our Southern farmers are just
beginning to cooperate. Formerly
they not only would not cooperate.
when living, but they would
even cooperate when dead. All
over the South one finds family
burying grounds going to ruin
and looking as if they did not
believe in resurrection" as DR..
Knapp used to say. In view OF
the frequent changes in land
ownership in the South, it is a
mistake to have family burylng
grounds; and we believe also
that the community spirit would
be fostered by abandoning the
practice and Substituting church
cemeteries. Then with annual
"clean-up-days" to keep them
| in order, our rural burying-places
might be made objects of beauty
instead examples of carelessness
and neglect as is now the general
rule.
Another thought that cannot
be too often emphasized is this
that everywhere the country
church ought to be a genuine
social center for the community,
Westinghouse" indeed, and
hot simply a place to hear preach,
ing once a week or once a month.

BUSINESS MEN
Buy Your Ice And Every
thing Else At Home

A Knoxville ice plant unloaded
quite a good deal of ice and a
wagon and driver in MaryVllle
last week, and began selling =.
rather trying to sell ice at half
price, or most any old price that
people would pay. However,
their representatives met with
little encouragement and much
Encouragement, and some advise
them they would not take their
ice even if they should give it
away. Mighty little ice they've
disposed of here.
This spirit of refusing free ice
was manifested because Mary
vile people believe in patronizing
home industries. The reason
why towns grow, is because the
businesses grow by being patron
lied by the people of the com
munity.
Therefore, it is only right that
patrons should buy their ice from
their fellow townsmen, because
it keeps the money at home, puts
it and keeps it in circulation, and
makes times better. =.
Let this buy-at-home spirit
continue to grow, and when you
want anything buy it here. The
merchants can supply you with
any article you want.
Buy at home-get everything
here and you'll never regret 1t.
