that when war was declared England
was under no obligation to send any
armies to the Continent at all. The
entente on this point was indeed as
vague as II was cordial, though 1t was
almost INN cdiatcly decided to send
England's entire standing army across
tho channel.
AS long as tho English people, who
have tho reputation of being rather
slow OF understanding, did not under
stand that this war was one OF life
and death. the English government
could do no more than II actually did,
that Is. offer France the powerful sup
port of tho British navy and the entire
professional army.

throw their full strength into tho war.
To-day the English people not only UNI
derstand the meaning OF this war but
they arc even blaming tho government
for not making them understand 1t
sooner. Ihcy have not only given the

The first time she undertook the task

tho 1nvincible Armada followed The
second time was in l712, when she went

NEW YORK BANKER FINDS
PROSPERITY, IN SOUTH
President of National City Bank
Travels. and In DnXie All Things
Look We'll to Him.

Vice.President Beverly II. Harris. OF
the National City Bank OF New York.
: who has just completed trip covering
the South and Southwest. gives in tho
Manufacturers Record of the current
week a comprehensive review OF the
business outlook in these parts asa he
saw It. Mr.. Harris says:
The South and Southwest. in my
opinion, arc getting on a sounder credit
footing than ever before. and my feel
ing Is that these sections are about to
enter the best and most prosperous
epoch in their history. look for n
great Advancement in population, wealth
and the average conditions OF life
within the next decade One OF the
important factors in this will be a
greater abundance Of money and
cheaper average interest rates. This
= territory produces real wenlth-the
consumable commodities which the
world must have-and. with better
methods in the future. is bound to be-
come very rich and populous. Condi-
tons, In my opinion, arc now distinctly
on the upgrade. and the outlook never
more consistent for n return to real
genuine prosperity on n rock bottom
basis
Nothing is needed. however. but
better credit methods and more thrift
as the experiences OF the last twelve
months have proven--to rapidly over
come the extravaganza prior to that
time and to get on safe footing. This
section Is big producer of wealth, and
the average man is straiS I'd
and n good moral risk.
Nothing but drastic conditions can
arrest such general era OF overexpan-
sion and corresponding as NE had he
FORE the war. l, is n very good thing
that this has taken place and is now
hehlnd us. Looking to the future the
country has undoubtedly profited ire
mendously by tho experiences Of tho
last year and the lesson taught by
them"

THE DANvILLE AIAnikET.
DANNlLLE. VA, September 1S.--The
receipts OF loose tobacco sold on tho
warehouse floors this week have been
very small. There Is scarcely enough
tobacco selling to make it Interesting:
but sttll there Is a full crop OF buyers
on the breaks every day, and even
prtmings, If they show any quality, find
ready sale at good prices.
The weather has been ideal for the
past week for the balance OF the crop
on the hill and cutting and curing has
been done under very favorable condi-
lions. The hot days. cool nights and
heavy dcws have rpencd the crop
that was left on the hill after the
heavy rains. The reports as to the
quality of the Old Belt crop differ ma
terially. from which 1t may be deter
mined that there will lie fair proper

Tho people are going to let the
public know what great things they
have been doing In the cropping line
this year by making fine exhibits at
the State Fair. and perhaps larger
ones at tho Mccklcnhurg County Fair.

OF October and continue the big show

the county. and especially the citizens

position Is held every fall, are deter
mined to make this falls fair tho
greatest the county has ever held
While the association is known as

county association. Chase City being
located near the point where the coun-
tics OF Mecklenburg. Luncnburg and

One is the political circumstances.

not permit of ministerial change at
this moment. and the other is the graci-
Gus order OF His Majesty that con-
tinue my service. The war in Europe
is still In progress. md it's state is
such that no one can tell when IL will
terminate. While Japan is not actually
engaged. she is one of the bellgerents.
Needless to say. the difficulty OF our
diplomatic dealings from now till

great
I'm spite of adverse criticism in some
quarters. 1 do not see why our recent
negotiations with China should be
called n failure. | believe the people
share this view of mine and Of my
colleagues.
The Cabinet has adhered to the
policy of not borrowing money for
financial necessities. and has endeavored
to root out all the evils arising from
tho borrowing policy as followed by
ministries in the past. l believe this
financial policy of the government. too,
has been, and Is still. approved by the
majority OF the people"
The Premier expressed sympathy for
Viscount Oura. the Homo Minister, who
resigned because of the bribery affair.
He did not want TO uphold Niscount
Oura, but he did think his motive was
pure, and that he committed his blum
der in order to destroy the evil infu-
ence OF big political party.
In conclusion Count Okuma declared
he firmly believed his Cabinet enjoyed
the confidence of tho people. Some
theorists were denouncinE his act as
against the principles OF constitution

he deemed higher than abstract theory
