Announcement Luncheon.

Mrs. w. G.. Lancaster was hostess at
an elegant six course luncheon yes
terday at noon in honor Of Miss Willie
May Childress, when the engagement
and early marriage Of Miss Childress
to Mr.. James F.. Harney was announc-
ed. Only few intimate friends of
the host and honoree were present.
The guests were ushered into the din
ing room which was daintily decorat-
ed with flowers and pendant cupids,
in the center Of which hung the let
ters III" and "C", suggestive of the
happy occasion. AS the guests ar
ranged themselves around the table
Miss Childress was ushered in by the
hostess who presented her with a
bridal bouquet at the same time an
nouncing the approaching event,
which was received with shower of
congratulations and good wishes. The
approaching ceremony and allied
| topics furnished a live source of con-
lversation during the we'll appointed
| luncheon and after the last course
recourse was again had to the recep-
tion room where guests fingered for
a while before departure.
The plans for the wedding have not
been completed 80 no announcement
was made as to the exact date.

initiative would be strongly to press
ITS contention on the right to ship
foodstuffs to Germany.
There is a likelihood, too, that some
understanding might be reached
through the medium OF the American
government whereby Germany could
be assured definitely that no merchant
ships leaving the United States would
De armed, making 1t possible for sub
marine commanders to exercise the
right Of visit and search with impun-
ity. Whether Great Britain would con-
] sent to disarm all her merchant YES
sells carrying contraband, however, is
a matter Of conjecture.
Ihat the question Of permitting
Americans to travel on armed mer-
chantmen may be taken under consid-
Grafton soon is intimated in we'll in
formed quarters. On the other hand,
some officials believe that will be lit
tie necessity for this, as Great Britain
already has informally agreed not
TO arm her vessels plying between
British and American ports.
| what is regarded as one of the
hopeful signs in the general situation
is the confidence reflected in official
and diplomatic quarters that Germany
VIII meet the United States at least
halfway, and will suspend for the
time being her submarine attacks
without warning during the diplomatic
correspondence.
In this connection there has been
much comment here over the recent
announcements from London that
The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1915-05-19

Great Britain did not understand from
Germany's answer last March that the
principle Of submarine warfare would
be abandoned 1t was noted that the
same misunderstanding arose when
the German and British replies were
received to the American proposal for
the abandonment by Germany OF sub
marine warfare and the use Of mines
in return for American supervision Of
the distribution Of foodstuffs if Eng
land agreed to their unrestricted pas
sage to Germany when consigned to
civilians.

ARBITRATIO NSUGGESTED.

German Reply may Contain Oiier to
Suppend Submarine Warfare Pend
ind Discussion OF Possible Mode OF
Settlement.
Washington, May 1G.-Without word
from Ambassador Gerard as to Ger
many's attitude toward the recent
American note, official Washington at
taches significance today to intima-
tons in diplomatic quarters here
friendly to Germany that the reply
might contain an offer to suspend at
tacks without warning on merchant
ships, If the United States would re-
new its formal proposals for unre-
stricted passage Of foodstuffs to Ger
man civilians.
Well informed European diplomats
asserted that Germany most certainly
would offer to settle the question at
issue by arbitration or diplomacy with
an agreement to abandon submarine
warfare while the discussion was in
progress.
Officials have been reticent in dis
cussing the idea Of arbitration or a
proposal with reference to foodstuffs,
but it Is indicated that the situation
has progressed toward the point
where the United States would not be
likely to be satisfied with any condi-
tional acquiescence in the American
position. 1t was intimated, however,
that II Germany accepted the Amerf-
can point of view, the national ten
dency Of the United States of It's own

trary.

what is the type of man who goes
wrong. The answer is that there is
no particular type. There is a clear
type of man who never is in trouble
however. This is the man who
lives within his means, who saves a
part OF his earnings each day and
week and year. 1t does not matter
much just so he lives within his
income and saves.

BEST THEATRE.

Friday-Mary Pickford, the idolized star of the Famous Players Film Co.,, adds another striking characterization to her notable repertoire of screen successes fin that company's five part adoption of Frances Hodgson Bur nett's great drama of optimism, "The Dawn of Tomorrow" the world famous story of young girls un- faltering faith and triumphant ultti- mate reward, which is at the Best theatre on the Paramount program Friday.
 In this celebrated play that glad dened the hearts of so many when presented on the stage with Eleanor Robson, and the screen version of which will cheer as many thousands more, Mary Pickford portrays the wierd and wonderful character of Glad, the beautiful and ragged girl of the London slums.
 The scenes in the mission of the slums. in which Glad first becomes acquainted with God, are delineated in the inimitable manner that is Miss Pickford's own. and her accept ance of the belief in the Supreme is typically tender and sweet in it's sim pie forcefulness.
