SPECTACULAR CAREER
GAINED HIM WIDE FAME

AS a delegate for Champ Clark. Mr.
Bryan caused another sensation at the
Baltimore convention in 1872 by his
fight on Tammany leaders in the New
York delegation. He switched his sup
port to Mr.. Wilson at critical mo-
ment, circumstance to which has been
described Mr. Wilson's nomination as
we'll as the birth of a personal break
with Champ Clark. During the national
campaign OF 1912, Mr.. Bryan made
many speeches for Mr.. Wilson, prin-
cipally in the Far West. The two men
met for the first time during the cam
paiEn At Lincoln, Neb., when they spoke
from the platform several times and
received tremendous ovation. Later
Colonel +. NJ House, "a mutual personal
friend brought them together on the
subject of sccretaryship of state, a
place which MIR. Wilson felt he owed to
Mr.. Bryan because OF the lattcr's posi-
ton in the Democratic party

CONTINUES HIS DEVOTION
TO LECTURiNG AND POLITICS

While holding the portfolio of Sec
rotary OF State, Mr.. Bryan has con-
tinued' in the public eye, not alone
, through his official acts, but by his
devotion TO two thinCs--lecturinG and
politics. one of the first sensations of
his official career WAS his announce
ment that grape Juice would be sub
stituted for alcoholic beverages when
he entertained members of the diplo-
matte corps. His statement that Sl2,-
| 600 was not sufficient for Cabinet
| officer and he therefore must lecture
TO earn more money, was another
episode which drew forth comment
around the world. He disregardcd
newspaper criticism, declaring he
never absented himself when duties
required his presence in Washington
/ His letter concerning the distribution
OF patronage in San Domingo to de
serving Democrats" was another in
cidcnt widely discussed. Mr. Bryan's
opposition to the nomination os Roger
sullivan in Illinois and his activity in
other primary fights continued after
his official identification with the Will
son administration. His editorials in
his newspaper. the Comnoncr, on pro-
hihition and woman suffrage, and his
advocacy of these issues. irrespective OF
the attitude OF silence OF President
Wilson, have furnished political gossip
over his future plans and ambitions.

PROTEST SEIZURE OF THE
DACIA BY THE FRENCH
State Department Intends to Uphold
American Contention in
Strong Note.

With the condemnation Of the
American cotton ship Dacia as law
ful prize by the French courts, the
case of the captured ship enters the
sphere of diplomacy, and unless an
appeal is granted, strong protest
based on denial Of justice" prob
ably will be drawn up by the state
department to be forwarded to the
French foreign office.
An investigation. Of the conditions
under which the former Hamburg
American liner was purchased will
begin, it is believed, as soon as the
full decision Of the French courts
reaches Washington. II it is estab-
lished to the satisfaction Of the
American government that the trans
fer from the German to the Ameri-
can flag was legitimate and the
change of registry was made without
any stipulations which might cast
suspicion on its validity, a vigorous
protest will be made against the
right Of a belligerent to interfere
with foreign-built schips flying the
American flag.
The position Of this government,
it is understood, will be taken on
the broad principle OF the right OF
the United States to acquire by legiti-
mate purchase vessels from any
sources whatever.
Cases similar to that Of the Dacia
and numerous other similar claims
cases have begun to pour into the Of
fee of solicitor OF the state depart
ment. The American tanker Brin-
dilla, formerly German owned, is
still held by the British, and the Pass
of Balmaba and the Dunsyre are
scheduled to come before German
prize courts soon. Inquiry in Berlin
has failed to elicit statement OF
the grounds for the detention Of the
last named vessels, and no word as
to what action is contemplated in re-
gard to the Brindilla has been receiV-
de from London.

ALLIES ARE DETERMINED
MAKE COTTON CONTRABAND
Announcement Made at
Washington of the British
Ambassador.

"The allied governments have
agreed in principle that cotton is
contraband of war. The exact date
when this announcement shall be
made still is under consideration, as
we'll as other details connected with
the proclamations." This statement
was authorized Thursday ct the Brit
ish embassy at Washington.
AS soon as the official announce-
ment is made it will be disclosed also
that the allied governments have
prepared to stand behind the market
to prevent ruinous depression OF
prices and minimize harGships to
planters.
The American government several
days ago was informed unofficially,
but authoritatively, Of the intention
of the allied governments to make
cotton contraband, and was Informed
that they will claim legal right for
their action.
It was explained that the Allies re-
Trained IN making cotton contra
band ct the outset Of the war because
Of conditions in the United States,
where a large crop had been planted,
and contraband order then would,
in their opinion, have been far more
serious.
Now, the Allies contend, the cotton
states have been prepared for a
change in policy by reduction OF
acreage. Some of the cotton interests,
allied quarters acknowledge, may be
affected by the change, and for that
reason it has been decided to stand
behind the market to minimize en-
barrassment and to avoid a perma-
nent decrease in American cotton
planting, which would be reflected
in the industries Of the allied coun-
tries.
The principal reason for declaring
cotton contraband is that it is one OF
the principle sources of smokeless
powder. How the Allies propose to
support the cotton market is rot ex-
planned.

AUTO SLID BACKWARD
DOWN STEEP MUDDY HILL
Young Doctor and His Grandmother
Have Narrow Escape From
Serious Injury

One of the most miraculous es-
canes from instant death or serious
bodily injuries occurred near Lexlng-
ton Monday afternoon, when the au-
to mobile of DR.. Guy B. Taylor came
uncoupled just as the top of the MIL
coming into town from the mill VII
lage was reached.
Immediately the machine reversed
itself. running backward for a quar-
ter of a mile. or till it reached the
foot of the hill, where, in spite OF the
efforts of DR.. Taylor, the car ran
into a telephone pole near the en-
bankment, coming to a standstlll.
In the machine with DR.. Taylor at
the time was his agef grandmother
who was thrown from the car when
the machine came to sudden and
unexpected stop. Happily the Wo-
man, in spite Of her advanced age
and feebleness, came out unlnJureo'
save the great excitement incident 10
the hair-splitting experience.
The escape from death IS the more
miraculous by reason of the fact tnat
the hill was slippery, heavy rain
having fell during the afternoon
The brakes refusing to work, there
was nothing for the driver and occu-
pants of the machine to do but sit
steady in the boat" and try to keep
the machine from running into the
deep bitches on each side Of the mar
row roadbed.

CAPTURE NOVOGEORGIEVSK, ,
10000 MEN AND MUNITIONS
Berlin Announces on Friday the Fall
of. Last Russian Fortress
Left in Poland

Berlin, Friday: Official announce
ment was made Friday of the capture
Of the important Russian fortress OF
Novogeorgieysk, with more than
twenty thousand men. The state
ment follows:
"The fortress of Noyogeorgievsk,
the enemy's last bulwark in Poland,
has been captured after stubborn re-
sistance.
"The entire garrison, including
over twenty thousand men and an
enormous stock of war material, fell
into our hands.
"The emperor left for Novogeor-
gievsk in order to give the thanks of
himself and the fatherland to the
leader Of the attack, Gen. Won Beze-
Ter and his troops.
Novogeorgievsk, captured by the
Germans, was described by an Asso-
ciated Press correspondent who visit
ed it as a second Vicksburg on ac-
count of its position. 1t is nineteen
miles northwest of Warsaw and is
situated at the juESction Of the Wis
tula, Narew and Wkra rivers. So
long as the Russians retained it they
could stop communication on the Wis
tula.
For nearly two weeks the fortress
had been completely invested by the
Germans and several of the outlying
forts were captured early this week.
1t was strongly defended. and was
said to have been equipped with suf-
fcient ammunition and food supplies
for long period. It's speedy cap
ture doubtless represents another
triumph for the great German-Aus-
trian siege guns.

ERRAND BOY RUNS INTO
GUN SET TO GET THIEF
Negro Had His Leg Torn Oh When
He Comes In Contact With
Trap Gun.

A deplorable accident occurred in
the town OF Blacksburg Tuesday
night when negro boy named Gaddy
was shot in the yard Of Mr.. Charles
Bird, Of that town. Mr.. Bird had for
some time been losing wood by theft'
and set a spring gun near the wood.
Shortly after setting the gun Mrs.
Bird ordered some articles from one
OF the stores, and when the boy Iad-
dy went into the back yard to de-
liver, the goods, he came IN contract
with the loaded gun, which was fired,
almost severing one Of his legs from
his body.
Physicians amputated the shatter-
ed limb, and it is to be hoped that
the boy, who is only about thirteen
years Of age, will recover. Mr.. BIRD
deeply regrets the occurrence, and II
he had known that the boy was eX-
pected would have been on the look
out for him.
