DACIA CASE IS UP AGAIN.
French Prize Court Confirms Seizure.
United States to Protest.

Washington, Aug. 4.-Anpoun ,e-
ment from Paris to-day that Fen III
prize court had confirmed the seizure
Of the American steamer Dacia as
fair prize, found the State Depart
ment preparing to protest the decis-
ion, which carries with it forfeiture
of the vessel. 1t is planned to make
this test case Of the right of neu-
trail to grant registry to a belligerent-
owned merchant ship.
The Dacia's cotton cargo is not in
volved. The British government, be-
fore the Dacia sailed from Galveston
last spring for Rotterdam, announced
that the cargo, consigned to Bremen,
would not be detained, the announce
ment being binding upon France. The
French government purchased the
cotton through a special appropria-
ton.
The issue in the Dacia case Is the
right Of the United States to permit
registry under its flag Of a vessel for
IlSllS O"Heu ny ii German corpora
ton, but declared sold to an Ameri-
can citizen. Great Britain has sane
| toned such transfers in war time and
could not consistently seize the Da-
cia. France has always held that the
transfer Of merchant ship to neu-
tral power must have been effected at
least 80 days before the outbreak Of
hostilities.
At the beginning of the war the
United States served notice on the
belligerents that as they had not con-
sentod to observe the unratified dec
laratiOnS Of London as whole, this
government would not be bound by
them, but would stand on the general
principles of international law in
dealing with questions Of neutral
rights. The protest against con-
demnation Of the Dacia will rest on
these principles.

But as week after week went by

the receptive lips Of the innocent
bride. FH is a degenerate by birth
and spends his miserable life COM
mitting the most dastardly crimes.
He will dc anything so long as there
is filth to lead him on; he will dare
everything so long as there is dirt,
disease and death to lure him to the
end. But there must be filth. 1t is
a part Of his being and absolutely
necessary 10 his existence. Knowing
this, there is but one logical conclu-
sion: Wherever flies are found there
also will filth be found, and in cor
responding proportions. SO blush
with shame when you again find it
necessary to use an unsanitary broom
to mind these filthy, measly scoun-
drels from the dinner table while
your guests partake of the meal
They may have too great a regard
for your feelings to tell you so, but
they nevertheless know that the pres
ence of flies is due to the presence of
filth.
So, in waging a war Of extermina-
ton, let us first declare war on filth,
for this has proven the most effective
weapon ever used against this elu-
sive foe. When the war is begun,
let us show no mercy; give no quar-
ter in either case till they are both
eXterminated, at least from our
homes. Use any means at hand to
eradicate him, for there are no inter-
national agreements as to the time,
means or mode Of his death. If, af-
ter cleaning up, he still fingers, trap
him, ensnare him; place poisoned
food temptingly before him that he
may eat thereof and die. But by all
means poison his home, his native
land--namely, unscreened closets and
manure piles.
Screen the home against him, for
he is your mortal enemy He DESTROYS
more lives annually than all the Nu-
indian lions combined have de-
stroyed in all time. Notwithstand-
ing this, there are those who say
they are not afraid of him.
Each and every year thousands
upon thousands Of fond mothers,
bleeding and broken hearted, march
to the cemeteries to say a last good
bye TO their fair-haired, dimpled dar-
llngs, and on reaching their grief
stricken homes fling wide the doors,
and bid this Unsuitable monster Cod
speed while chasing the next. On the
following Sunday morning the Sun
day school meets and the minister in
charge offers the following resolu-
tions:
.Whereas, it has pleased the AL
mighty God, in His divine providence,
to take from our midst" ETC., when
in reality God, nor providence, had
aught to do in taking away the little
pet. You simply, blindly or other
wise refused to observe sanitary laws,
You allowed decomposing filth and
lilies to accumulate on or near your
premises, and the little pet was Of
Tered up as ali unwilling sacrifice to
this monster, whom you do not fear
Instead Of submitting resignedly to
what you term the will Of God in this
case, you would do well to take a
stick and break that preachers head
for not telling you the real reason
why the little pet went to Jesus. He
ought to know, and ought to tell you
from the pulpit, that filth in the back
yard and rotten cabbage in the cellar
will produce death, and then you
might have believed it and have been
spared all the pain of parting with

THE DOLL SHOW
A BIG SUCCESS
Many Entries IN All Glasses and
Show Much Enjoyed by the
Children.

The doll show matinee given satur
day under the auspices Of the ladies'
Of the First Baptist Church proved
to be one OF the most novel and de
lightful affairs ever given in Bryan.
E. F. Parks a Company generously
rendered the ladies of the committee
their big furniture store as a home
for the entertainment. which fact
made the success Of the whole affair
the more pleasing and satisfactory.
The weather man sent most unfavor-
able conditions for the afternoon. and
as the children we're guests OF honor.
the brilliant success attained would
have been impossible but for the
warm. comfortable surroundings at
this popular store The committee OF
ladies in charge Of this doll show are
so satisfied with the results that The
Eagle reporter IS authorized TO state
that hereafter Bryans doh show Is to
be an annual affair, with better ar
rangements. better prizes and more
interesting features OF entertainment.
In the way Of decoration, the affair
Of Saturday was a perfect success,
and the scheme in its entirety could
not have been improved. In the cen.
ter Of the room, on a beautiful round
table, the bride and groom dolls and
attendants were arranged amid bridal
tulle and snowy white chrysanthe.
NUNS, and a crystal electrolier threw
a brilliant halo over the picture scene.
Other departments. where the differ.
ent classes to be judged for prizes
were displayed, were equally effective.
Especially attractive was the corner
where the character dolls and foreign
dolls were grouped. An Indian wig.
wan with moss coverings and war
feathers in evidence was surrounded
by a winter forest scene of real
beauty. A log heap burned brightly
near the Indian home, brown autumn
leaves covered the ground and a min.
iature lake, upon which the ever.ready
canoe was tied to the shore. com.
pleted the scene.
A log cabin, with the pickaninnes
"playin' round de door" made
home for the rag dolls and brought
to mind the old Southern days Of long
ago.
II was indeed task for the judges
to make decisions, so many beautiful
dolls were entered. and the little
mothers were all so anxious that
their baby" should win.
Four disinterested ladies were the
judges and furnished the following
list OF winners. and Prof R. o. Allen,
in most pleasing manner, awarded
the prizes TO the successful contest.

full. The membership fee is only one
