CONSIDERS ANOTHER PROTEST
TO THE ENGLISH GOVERNMENT
Bryan Admits State Department Is
interested in Detainment OF
the Cotton Vessels.

Secretary Of State Bryan admitted
at the state department Friday after
noon that the United States was con-
sidering sending a second note or
protest to Great Britain concerning
the detention Of American cargoes
The note has not yet been actually
drafted, but it has been rumored for
some time that new representations
were being considered by officials at
Washington.
Secretary Bryan explained the
memorandum on cotton shipments
which was issued Thursday by the
London foreign office. He said that
the British government knows that
the advisers of the state department
in England as trade experts have
acted as friendly representatives OF
the Americans interested and have
done all that they could do in an un-
official capacity in their efforts TO
have the cotton vessels released. The
secretary declared that England mas
no cause to believe that the United
States has given any recognition 10
the British Order in Council.

WANTS TO USE GAS BOMBS
Kitchener Says Soldiers Must be Ade-
quately Protected.

Secretary of War Kitchener stated
in the English House Of lords Monday.
that the British and French govern
ments felt that the allied troops
must be adequately protected against
poisonous gases by the employment
of similar methods. These would re-
move the enormous and unjustihable
advantage which must otherwise e.
ist, he said.
'The Germans said Lord Kitch-
ener, "have persisted in the use of
these asphyxiating gases whenever
the wind favored or other oppor-
tunity occurred, and his majestys
government, no less than the French
government, feel that our troops
must be adequately protected by the
employment of similar methods so as
to remove the enormous and unjustl-
fable disadvantage which must exist
for them if We take no steps to meet
on his own ground the enemy who is
responsible for the introduction Of
this pernicious practice"

TURK ARMIES SCATTERED;
MILLION NOW UNDER ARMS
German Advisers Take Charge Of Mil
itary Affairs of Ottoman Empire
Correspondent Imprisoned.

Bucharest reports: The Turkish
ministry of war places the total OF
men under arms at present at 1922
900.
More conservative estimates in
Constantinople give the number as
about 100000. This includes 2O0,-
900 Christians who are being used
for digging trenches and building
railways, roads and bridges.
The actual fighting men are divld-
ed into ave armies. The first, en-
camped ct Adrianople and around
Constantinople under Won der Goltz,
is said to be about 100000 strong.
The second, under Djemal Pasha,
aims at Egypt with 10000 men.
The third is located around Bagdad
with $4,000. The fourth, in the
Caucasus, numbers 100000, while
the fifth, estimated at something over
100000. is operating il the vicinity
of the Dardanelles.
Probably the best equipped troops
are gathered around Constantinople.
which is also admirably defended by
concentric rings of up-to-date fortif-
cations. An excellent battery has
been placed in position Immediately
below the mosque of st. Sophia.
Although the German advisers OF
the government have taken over
practical command of military af-
fairs, they make no attempt to med
die in police and civil matters. The
press censorship, for example, is
under Turkish auspices. and CORE
spondents, even from Germany, are
handled ruthlessly. Thus the CORE
spondents of the Cologne Zeitung and
the Duetches Armee Zeitung have
been interned ct konia, tho CORE
spondent of the Neue Freie Presse
has been condemned to years i'm
prisonment,. and the representative
of thSBerlin Tageblstt has been ex-
peiled.

PIONEERS WELCOME ITALY
AS FULL=FLEDGED PARTNER
Balkans Are Expected to Come Into
War at Any Tnne-Doubt
as to First Blow.

London reports Friday: 1t is uni
versally conceded in England that
Italy from to-day enters into full
partnership with the entente powers,
and this meals that the two Ger
manic nations, assisted by the Turks,
find themselves facing seven Euro
pean powers, not counting Portugal,
with Japan in the background.
How long the Balkan states will
refrain from joining in the fray is
not known, but it is held here that
this period Of time must OF necessity
be comparatively brief.
The demands for compensation,
territorial and otherwise, Of Rou-
mania, Bulgaria and Greece are in
process of arrangement, according to
we'll informed persons in London
Just at present the excessive claims
first put forward by these states are
being cut down.
Already reports are coming from
Greece of more cordial relations be-
tween the court and former Premier
Venizelos, which can only point to-
ward war. "Gallipoli armies" al
READY are II process VI loi imdtloA LII
some OF the Balkan states, and the
title efficiently indicates the propos-
ed scene of their activities.
Nothing yet has leaked out as to
where the first Italian blow will be
struck. Judging from previous ex-
perience, Italy probably will put i'll
to effect at once system of censor
ship that will stand as a striking
object lesson in many ways to the
comparative amateurs in this field,
Great Britain and France.
Military observers believe the
Italian advance will be bound to ease
the tremendous Germanic pressure
bearing to-day so heavily on the Rus
sian forces on the Galician front.
The fighting south Of Pzremysl is
so intense that in some quarters in
London it is considered possible that
strategic necessity may dictate the
abandonment of that fortress.
Przemysl appears to be a dangerous
salient of the new Russian line.

the fighting men themselves, l have
come to the opinion-and it is not a
hastily formed opinion. either-that
the war will unquestionably last two
years. three. and it may last four;
and that even then Germany may not
be conquered.
THE sooner the people Of Eng
land stop deceiving themselves and
look the facts in the face, the sooner
they will be willing to admit that the
German soldier is as good fighter
as the British soldier, and that the
German ocicers are, ss a, whole. far
better trained than the British Cf-
fcers: the sooner they come to real
ize that if Germany is to be beaten,
every man in England between the
ages of eighteen and forty-eieht
who is able to carry rifle will have
to take the field, just that much

AUSTRIA PREPARES FRONTIER
Troops Being Withdrawn and Mill

A dispatch from London says
news from Brescia Friday night is
that Austria is withdrawing her
troops from the frontier and burn

which troops might cross. This is
taken to mean that the dual empire

EARLY FALL

The early planting Of oats, rye and wheat is urged BY all
advanced agriculturists who have given this territory and its
needs and opportunities a close study. Winter oats and rye
should have been planted by Sept. Is. but it is not too late to
plant either yet. Southern grown. rust proof oats should be
obtained and one bushel planted to the acre. Northern seed
will not thrive in the weather of this latitude. Oats and rye
will do well on land where the pea crop has been harvested.
Wheat should be sown by Oct. Is, but not earlier. i The
experiments in this territory of the past season were every
where satisfactory and a much greater acreage should be
planted this season. Mills are now in reach and some fine
home grown flour was enjoyed on the tables of a large number
of Lee county wheat fraisers from last years crop. There
should be no backward step in this movement. On the other
hand, every farm in the county should have at least two acres
in wheat; with is bushels to the acre. This gives the family
at least six barrels of -four besides the shorts and bran from
the crop. Few families will buy over SIX barrels of flour
during the year.
Glover crops should be planted on all available land as a
matter of protection to and renovation of the soil. Barren
fields that are washed by the winter rains are never found to
be in good tllable condition the following spring. After cot
ton has once been picked over. fall oats and about Is pounds
harrow run through the middle and a light harrow following
will be all that is necessary in the way of cultivation. This
crop will afford splendid grazing in dry weather and when
turned under in the spring will prove to be a very valuable
fertilizer.
The above SUGGESTIONS are made to our farmers in view OF
the fact that the boil weevill is here aud has made his presence
felt in nearly every cotton field in the county. dc may not
have done much damage on your farm, but on many farms he
has Gu. short the crop by his activities. Next year he will be
here in greater numbers and it is necessary that we should
BEGIN now to plan to save ourselves from the destruction that
the boil weevil brings to every section visited.
We should profit by the experience of South Mississippi
and other sections that have been practically ruined within
two wears by the presence of the boil weeviL. For a long time
we fattered ourselves that we were too far north for him to
reach US, but he is here and here to stay, and this fact SHOULD
be taken into consideration when we are laying our plans for
another years crop.

This decree will no doubt ter
inmate the litigation which orig
mated from the office of the state
revenue agent and which has af-
fected nearly all of the large
cotton buyers in the state. The
contention of the revenue agent
was that all cotton in the hands
of cotton buyers on Feb. l of
each year was subject to taxa
ton. Assessments amounting to
many millions of dollars were
sought to be made, but in most
instances the counties and mu-
inequalities failed to levy the as
sessments upon the amounts filed
with them by the revenue agent.
The decree from the federal
court may prove to be the final
step in the litigation brought
about by the action of the reve-
nue. agent.

Concrete Road Expert Gives
Out Some Interesting Facts

w. E. Deletombe, a represent
alive of the Dixie Portland &C.
ment company and an expert on
concrete road obstruction, is in
Greenville in the interest of sth
concrete type of county roads.
Mr.. Deletombe said today that
hebelieved that Greenville county
would get better service from
concrete roads than from any
other type of road. He said that
government experts have stated
that the cost of hauling a ton Of
produce or merchandise over a
mile of ordinary road is from 20
to 40 cents. and the fact that one
bale of cotton is the customary
load under the present conditions
and that half a dozen bales can
be hauled over the concrete road
makes clear its economical value.
Mr.. Deletombe recently super
vised the construction of IL miles
Of concrete roads in Lee county,
Miss, and he states that the
officials of that county are well
pleased with the service rendered
by and the low cost of concrete
road. Before the authorities in
Lee county selected concrete
roads there was manifested more
or less doubt and apprehension
as to the durability and efficiency
Of that type of road. A party
was organized to inspect the Gel
ebrated concrete roads of Michi-
gan and to hold conferences with
the boards Of county commission
ers who built the roads and to
interview taxpayers. They
found the land values in some
instances had more than doubled
and that the taxpayers no longer
considered the first cost or the
low maintenance of the roads
but spoke of them from the
standpoint of their great value
to them personally and as indi-
vidusls.
The thing that Lee county
sought was not a broad boule-
ward for automobiles, but a prac-
tical working road that would
lift the people out of the mud
and represent material saving in
hauling charges to the farmers
of the county, who We're the
growers Of cotton and alfalfa.
Therefore it was decided to build
q road nine feet wide having
clay gravel shoulders at each
side. = Gres rviile Is. G. Pied

UNITED STATES IS
NOT MONEY POWER
Needs for Internal Resources
Will Prevent This Country

hence from Great Britain.
BY Victor Elliott.

WASHINGTON June 11.-Signifi-
cant of thought and aims of the ad-
ministration is the statement of Paul
M. Warburg, member of the federal
reserve board, and often called the
ablest scientific banker in America"
that the United States has neither the
desire nor the ability at present to be-
come the worlds banker,-that is. to
supplant Great Britain as the great
lending power among the nations.
THIS assertion was the keynote of his
recent address before the Pan-Amer.
lean financial conference meeting in
Washington.
Most financial optimists have as
sumed, superticially enough, that the
contrary was the case They based
their idea on the results of the war:
TO the enormous debt that Great Bril-
tain is piling up for herself and her
allies, which, they assumed. would
serve TO make her almost a secondary
financial factor in the worlds marts
Although the need of capital in Latin
America and in the far east is certain

decade, England, they held, would be
in no position to supply it, nor would
