clared that the American manufacturer

Of the day in America Is the need OF
expert salssmanship of American goods
in foreign markets. and to stimulate

same methods could be used in pro-
noting our trade In foreign countries
the results would be wonderful"
while In their domestic business

speech of Sir Edward Grey. British
secretary Of state for foreign affairs,
in which the foreign minister discussed
the issue for which the allies of the
triple entente are fighting. says:
"As soon as the main issues for

it is Just as much the duty of our
statesmen to make peace as it was
in the view of Sir Edward Grey to
make war at the end of July last
: The time may come before
long when It will be possible to con-
suit the dictates Of humanity and at

dicated by Sir Edward Grey. II such

BERLIN, March 2S, via wireless to
Sayville. n. Y.-The Norddeutsche ALL
gemeine Zeitung has made further re-
ply to the recent speech of Sir Edward
Grey. the British foreign secretary, in
London on the causes of the war. The
paper says:
Tho British proposal was for q con-
ference July rs, but Russia had started
military preparations July 25. Never
theless, Sir Edward Grey July 20 ad-
mitted to the German ambassador II
was best to have an Austro-Russian
understanding. but on the same day
he announced to the French ambassa-
dor Great Britain's readiness to take
sides with the entente powers.
Secret Conventions Known.
"Sir Edward in his speech omits ref
erenos 10 the Russian mobilization Of
July 80. which forced the Germans to
mobilize, and made war Unavoidable
British secret conventions with France
and Russia were known in Germany
and were the causes for tho increase
in the Germany army. Sir Edward de-
clined British neutrality in the case
Of Germany, but he respected Belgian
neutrality.
Germany is not lighting to subdue
the continent, but for her own inde-
pendence and tho freedom Of tho seas
as well as for all nations bulldozed
by England"

CHARLESTON, W. Va. March 27.--
Officials in the capitol were today per-
sonally paying for the postage stamps
used in their departments because Uncle
Sam does no credit business and the state

for current expenses. Hundreds OF school
teachers throughout the state took their
monthly pay warrants to banks. where
they were discounted at per cent. or. II
they were not in need Of funds. they laid
the warrants away until such time as the
state can redeem them.
More than $50 of the 225 persons en-
ployed at the state house were passed by
the paymaster when he made his usual
monthly round, and J. S. Darst, state
auditor, arranged with banks to take care

Quainted with the actual conditions
would be apt to inquire how so much
damage could be caused by fire in the
large buildings in which the business
is carried on and which are nothing
more than four unfinished walls and
a roof The facts are, however, that
there is no line of manufacturing in
which fire can create greater damage.
The machinery is expensive and in
addition a fire of sufficient proport-
ions to develop heat destroys both
the partially finished granite and
even rough stone,

Two Fire Alarms.

Last Friday evening brought more than it's share of eqctement, two fire alarms being given, one at : O clock and one at 9:30 The first time 1t was thought that the residence of Cashier C. A Franklin of the Dermott Bank X Trust Co. was atire but investigation proved that it was only a tiue burning out. and no damage at all was done
 The second alarm was given when q small house occupied by Srngtellow (coloredl was found To be in flames The building was quickly destroyed, and three others adjoining it were also burned It was feared for time that R. Richardson's store. next to the house which burned last, would also go. but valiant work on the part of the fire department prevented 1t from catching.
 It was thought at first that the fire was of incendiary origin. but investi- gation almost positively established the fact that the building caught from the nue
