TWO HUNDRED GIRLS
 ACCEPT OFFERINGS
PoIsh Tag Day Starts With a Rush Contributions Made Willingly for
 Relief Cause.

Two hundred feminine traffic cops guarded every avenue of escape in the city today and turned smiling faces on every passerby, every glance being an appeal for the widows and orphans in devastated Poland.
 The weather for the Polish Tag Day could not have been finer and the white dresses and gay colors of the girls made a summery scene that was quite attractive. The weather also brought out the crowds and this was the feature of the day which the girls will appreciate most.
 Every indication points to a suc- cessful Tag Day. Practically every person who passed by was decorated with a white tag with red and black printing stating succinctly the purpose of the movement. The contributions were varied, from pennies to bills, and it is likely the collectors will have enough money to count at the end of their days labors
 The courtesy of the girls on duty was marked and nobody was annoyed by undue persistence. 1t was simply an appeal for the poor, not hold-up, and as such the kindly feeling of the public general toward the war suf- fers was increased.

RED Cg.OSS APPEAL FOR
 SUFFERING MfxCANS
Dr. T. B. Reeks Receives Ur- gent Message from Ma
 tional Headquarters.

An urgent appeal has come to Drl Reeks, secretary of the New Britain Red Cross chapter, from c. A. Devol, the acting chairman of the American Red Cross society, Not to let the suf- ferers at our own door'die for lack of food" and calling for gifts of money. corn, beans, rice, four" for the great number of unfortunate Mexi- can people, largely women and chil- dren, who are facing death by starva- tion.'
 The appeal came today to Dr. Reeks in lengthy night letter. It has been supported by President Woodrow Will son. Governors of states have been
 asked to ask their people for funds 50 that starvation may not be suffered by the women and children in the neighboring country while provision is made for the sufferers in Europe.
 The New Britain chapter of the Red Cross, in comm on with similar organ izations in the country, has spent most of its time making garments for wounded soldiers. Boxes were sent out nearly every week following the organization of the society here. The attention paid to the foreign countries of Europe has obscured the need of the sufferers in Mexico, in which war has ravaged wide territories and left thousands homeless.
 The money for the Mexicans should be sent according to the Instructions from the American Red Cross, to the local Red Cross treasurer, A.iJ. sloper or to the national headquarters in Washington.

ing American ports shall carry any guns.
 Germany Army Irrelevant.
 An argument in the German note that the Lusitania carried Canadian troops and amm tuition is regarded by officials as irreyelant, for they de- clare it is we'll known that no Cana dian troops could pass as an org an- ized body over American soil, and the sailing of a few unarmed individuals does not constitute 4an armed expe- 5dition under international law. Nel.st- CT it is contended, has traffic in arms and ammunition been regarded as warranting the destruction of any un- armed merchantmen with out previous visit and search.
 As to the citation Of provisions of American law,s on the question of car rying passeng gers on ships transport ing munitions of war attention was called to decisions in 1911, when the American government ruled that the federal status applied not to car tridges, but to self exploding material such as dynamite and nitro glycerine.
 Reference to Proposals Expected.
 The German governments refer ence to the proposals made by the United States to secure the abandon mest of submarine warfare by Ger many through an agreement with Great Britain whereby the latter would not interfere with foodstuffs to the civilian population of belliger- ent was not unexpected. President Wilson has made it clear. however, that the issues raised by the sinking of the Lusitania and other violations of American rights on the high seas must be settled on their merits entirely apart from conditions arising in the

relations of the United States with other bellgerents.
 No Official Text Received. President Wilson went for a long automobile ride early this morning after reading newspaper comment on the German note. He had not re- ceived the official text from the state department and as his day was broken by an engagement to speak at Memo rial day exercises in Arlington Ma tional cemetery, he will not begin a thorough study of the note before night.
 An unusually large number of sight seers were gathered in front of the White House when the president went out to his motor There was a scat 7tering, of handclapping, and the presi- dent bowed and smiled in response Officials refused to discuss the note before the president had opportunity to consider his reply. It is expected a that the question will be discussed thoroughly at tomorrow's cabinet meeting and that an answer will be forwarded to Berlin with as little de- lay as possible.

D. 7. Owen Is Dead.

Mr.. d. T. Owen died at his home five
miles west of Grenada on Thursday
night of last week in the 18TH year Of
his age and his remains were Inferred
the next day at Hoe church, the
funeral rites being conducted by Rev.
l.. P. Trotter of the First BAPTIST
church of which Mr.. Owen had long
been a member. In his demise the
county loses an honest. upright man
and one who had always adhered to
what he believed to be right. He was
faithful in his allegiance to the church
of his choice and kept faith with his
friends and neighbors. Mr.. Owen was
born within a short distance of where
he died and thus his whole life had been
spent among his acquaintance and his
friends. He had been in a declining
state of health for several years and
his end would have been little surprise
even several years ago. He is survived
by his wife but no children besides two
brothers and two sisters and other rela-
tives. The Sentinel offers coincidence
to the bereft.

PETITION FOR PARDON.

To His Excellency, Hon. Earl Brew
er, Governor of Mississippi:
We, the undersigned citizens of Gre
NADIA County, Mississippi, respectfully
represent that Ben Webb, colored, was
convicted at the August term of the
circuit court of this county, 1910, and
sentenced to the pe~nitentiary for Is
years on the charge of murder and
that he has made a model prisoner and
we believe that mercy demands his re-
lease. He killed a man who had in
vaded the sancity of his home and who
had aliented the affections of his wife,
and the negro killed was a loafing char
acter and had not been long in the
community. Previous to this unfortu-
nate affair Ben had been an industrious
hard working negro and had the conf
dence of the white people of his neigh
borhood. He has been on Belmont
farm for several years and has been a
trusty and never at any time has he
shown the least spirit of insubordina-
ton. We believe that the ends of JUS
tice have been satisfied and that his
release would be the proper thing.

A Sad Trip Brings For.
ward a Little History.

Mr.. ID. s. Amytte returned last week
from Plainview, Texas, where he was
called. now a little more than a month
ago, because of the illness of his son,
Earnest, who died while he was there.
From Plainview Mr.. Amytte went to
C~hilicothe, Texas, where his sister,
Katherine, was i'll and she died. Just
before reaching Grenada on his return
he got the news of the death of Mrs. j.
w. VANCE, the wife of his good friend,
J. w. Vance. Thus it seemed that an
unusual burden of sorrow and grief fell
to the lot of this good man at one time.
Mr.. Amytte's many friends sympathize
| with him in his distresses. Having
lived to the ripe old age that he has, he
is not unfamiliar with the sorrows and
| the disappointments of life and bears
these, as he has all others, with that
grace and that fortitude that becomes
the true christian.
Old citizens will be interested to know
| that Mr.. Amytte's sister was making
her home with her half brother, w. P.
Miller. who was born on what is gen
orally known as the Vance place in the
Oxberry community of this county.
His father. Mr.. John Miller, was the
second husband of Mr.. Amyett's mother.
Another incident will be recalled by
| older citizens in connection with the
Miller family and that is that Lewis
Miller killed himself accidently in the
rear of the store now occupied by Heath
Bros. in this city with a dirk knife
which missed the ~scabbard into which
he was attempting to place it and stuck
into the main artery of his thigh.
The Miller family were regarded as
among the best families of the county.
