One of the lowest-down, sneakingist pieces of thievery ever perpetrated in this part of the country was pulled off here a couple of weeks ago, when some off-scouring of the earth pried the corner stone from under the Protestant Methodist church and robbed the same of the money and mementos placed there but a few years ago. Eff teen to twenty dollars in old coins is supposed to have been secured by the vandals. A thief that would take the coppers from a dead negroes eyes. or steal slop from a blind SOW, is gentleman compared with the wart on humanity that would rob the corner stone of a church, and we hope if the one who did this deed belongs to this vicinity he will never be caught. for we don't want to know who it is among us so low down in the scale of civilization.

British Views

London. Nov s-Q205 A M)-The at
utude taken by the London morning
newspapers in commenting on the Amer
lean note TO Great Britain is generally
that although the points raised in the
note are all open to argument, Great
Britain's position is that she is engaged
in life and death struggle and there
fore has to consider all questions on the
practicable basis OF winning the war;
that such a world-war is bound to carry
some Inconvenience to neutrals, but that
as far as is possible and consistent with
doing everything in her power to win the
war. she is certain to 60 as little as pos
sibIe 10 irjure the interests of neutrals.
II is also contended that neutrals. haV-
ing failed to act when the Germans con-
travened international law by sinking
neutral ships and ships with neutral pas
senrers is was necessary for Great Bri-
tain TO take some action.
The Daily Mail says: Our people are
so engrossed with the war that II IS
doubtful whether they have yet clearly
realized the intricacy and dehcacy OF the
problems which have arisen in this con-
nection between Great Britain and the
United States. These problems are att
tracing a great deal Of attention and we
gather. causing some feeling in the Unit
ed States Very much more is likely to
be heard from them during the next few
weeks
After quoting the American arguments
the Daily Mail says;
.sour case-it Is a very strong one-is
that the orders in council were in reply
to Germanys Reputation of all interna-
tonal law.
The power which wickedly torredoed
neutral ships and ships with neutral
messengers. and which sowed the sea
with mines. showed complete indifference
for those neutral rights of which the
Ir,,,ea States declares itself the unhesi-
tating champion.
we waited for the neutrals to act ana
az they did not act we acted ourselves
in the interests of humanity. The doc
,-;,es which we applied are in essence
those laid down by the United States
courts in the Civil War"

EX-SEC. BRYAN ISSUES Statement
RENEWING ASSURANCE OF AM|TY
TOWARDS PRESIDENT WILSON.

The President said he would ask
those who differed from him to ex-|
press their opinion. He certainly will
be the last to complain because his
request is complied with. A great
many people-no one can definitely
state the number, but they are quite
a multitude-believe that we cannot
insure the nation against war bN
adopting the very policy which led
Europe into war. 1t is more reason
able to assume peace can be promoted
between nations by the same philoso-3
ply which promotes peace between
individuals in communities. We are
now spending S250,000.0 900 a year for,
preparedness. A great many think
this is enough and are opposed to any
increase at the present. The burden]
of proof is on those who say the in
crease is necessary, and it, will be,
hard to prove this in view Of the
Presidents statement that We are
not threatened from any quarter; but
our relations with all nations are
friendly; that everybody knows Of our,
capacity for defence and that there
is no fear among u.s."
Former Secretary Bryan said he
had engagements in North Carolina
next Monday and Tuesday. but that
be would return to Washington be-
where he will make his winter home!
He has several speaking engage
ments en- route to Florida.

NOTE TO BRITAIN
ON CARGO SEIZURES
BEING PREPARED

WASHINGTON, Nov. t.-A note to
Great Britain regarding issues involved
in the seizure Of American meat car
goes may he prepared within the next
two weeks. The state department is
not now ready to take a step in this
direction, as ii has NOT received GER
tain inforn1atio requested of attorneys
for the packers and which is expected
next week, when decision will be
reached.
Three sets Of issues are involved
One has TO do with vessels and car
goes already disposed of by the British
prize court. These cases have been
appealed. The second has to do with
vessels and cargoes not yet passed
upon by the prize court. The third
involves a protest against interference
with the shipment Of meat products
for Sweden. via Norway,
Attention was called tonight to the
fact that if the British government had
threatened confscation unless vessels
of the Norwegian American line ac-
cepted packing house products for de-
livery in Norway and guaranteed con-
sumption there, such threats had not
been of a public nature. This last is
sue was brought UP when packers
placed before the department a COM
plant that the steamship Christiania-
ford, due TO sail from New York to-
day for Christiania. had been threat
ened with confscation if she loaded
meat products. destined Tor resident
buyers in Sweden, on through bills of
la6inc. via Christiania. Ambassador
Page has been instructed 70 make in
qulries in London as TO this case.

editors OF metropolitan newspapers,
who daily fling incense before the spe-
cial interests, do not resitate TO eX-
press an opinion as 10 what the coun-

SECRETARY CARRISON'S Plan -
FOR RAISING GREAT CITIZENS q
ARMY TO SUPPLEMENT RECuLA AR

Washington. Nov. :. An outline Of
the aEny's part in the national defense
program to be submitted TO Congress
in December by the Administers ton
was made public tonight by Secretary
Garrison disclosing officially for the
first time details of the plan to raise
a great Continental or Citizen army TO
supplement the regular establishment.
In brief. il is proposed to increase the
regular army from 10S.00s to l4l ,S43
officers and men changing the term Of
enlistment from four years with the
colors and three years on furlough to
two years with the coiprs and four
years on furleughp; to organize a fed
eral citizen army of 400, zoe tto be en-
listed $4,000 a year for three years. ;
TO strengthen the state militia by in
creased appropriations and closer CO.
operation: and to spend $20,000.00o a
year for four years on coast defenses
and SIG. 900, 900 a year for four years
in the accumulation OF reserve material
for use by force Of 500, 600 men.
Mr.. Garrison says that the farmers
of the new policy are fully conscious of
the possibility OF formulating military
policies much better in theory, but
that after concentrated consideration
Of existing legal and other conditions
they think it will be found that almost
insuperable objections and difficulties
arise in carrying into practical. oper-
alton suggestions that from the mill
tary standpoint might otherwise be
very acceptable.
The statement reveals that in the
preparation of their plans. War De-
partrnent officials have called into con-
sultation specialists in various lines of
private industry.
1T has been proposed" il says. ito
make available in time of need the SER
vices Of those in certain kinds of en-
ployment requiring special knowledge
and skill. such as railroad men, bridge
builders. engineers of all descriptions.
etc, and leading men in these lines and
professions have been collaborating
with the Oar Department in an endeav-
or 10 formulate, by legislation or ad
ministrative action, an acceptable and
useful plan with respect thereto.
In this connection. and because of
the patriotic spirit thus displayed it
seems desirable to say that if those
who are the employers of the young
men of the country cannot by reason
of age or situation in life. give their
personal service. they can do that
which will he equally useful by en-

couragins in every way the participate
ton of those in their employ in the
plan of national defense. II they would
so arrange their business that a cers
tain proportion OF those whom they
engage could undertake this national
service without sacrificing their per1
sonal interests, those who did thiS
thing would be. acting in the most publ
iic-spirited and patriotic manner posi-
sible.'' -. I
The Citizen army would be recruited
throughout the entire country and org
sanized in geographical divisions. lt4
members. though enlisted for six ye4I
terms, would be required to report f64
intensive training only for short perry
DDS each year for three years and dur4
ing the remaining three years woul4
be furloughed subject to call to the
colors in time of war. In addition to
officers who may be developed in the
course OF its operation, Mr.. Garrison
proposed to draw officers for this force
from men WHO have served in the ma
tional guard or the regular army or
who have been trained in private mills
tary schools. Individuals or organiza
tions in the existing national guard
free TO do so would be permitted to
come into the citizen army without
change of rank.
For the next fiscal year. when II is
proposed to put this new policy into
operation, Congress will be asked to
appropriate sls2.717.03s; the second
year the amount will be $2l2.S1S,s1s;
the third s22s,Sl5.s7a, and annually
thereafter if the policy we're continued
without change the army budget
would be slS2,234,55s. ;
The additions to the regular army
contemplated are ten regiments Of
infantry, four regiments of field artil-,
lery. f1fty-two companies of coast ar,
tillery fifteen companies Of engineers
and four aero squadrons to be brought
in half next year and half the follow,
ing year.
This plan when completed would
place in the Panama Canal Zone, Ha-'
waiian Islands. the Philippines. and
Alaska. l,453 officers and 47,45S enlist =,
ed men. In the continental United
States there would be in the regular
establishment 1885 officers and 6S,9eS
men including II and two thirds regi-'
ments Of cavalry. IS and two-thirda
regiments of infantry, seven regiments
of field artillery, 10 companies Of
coast artillery and about 1900 offlcers
and men in engineer and signal corpse
