Bold Hold-up at Rives.

On Wednesday evening, the 21st
inst, white man, young in appear
ance and wearing a blue coat and
light pants, entered the store of
Harper & Shore just after supper
and drawing revolver, pointed at
both the proprietors, who were in at
the time, and held them until he
looted the safe and captured SIS in
money. He warned the proprietors
not to watch his movements and to
keep their eyes away from him while
he made his escape, which was ac-
complished before officers could be
secured, and no trace was found.
This is the boldest of all the late
robberies and the scoundrel should
be caught if possible.

A Popular Actor.

John Bunny, one of the best-known
comic characters in the motion picture
world, is said to be recovering from an
illness which, until few days ago, was
thought to be fatal. The millions of
motion picture devotees to whom the
face and figure of Mr.. Bunny are we'll
known, will join in the hope that he
may be spared many years of fun-mak-
ing and that many hearty laugh will
spread its contagion through the NOV
ing picture theatres before his time ar
rives.
Mr.. Bunny is 81 years old and has
been on the stage thirty years. His
greatest success has come in recent
years as g moving picture actor. 1t is
said that he is the highest-salaried actor
in his line. Mr.. Bunny's success was
not due SO much to his rotund form as
to his business acumen and foresight.
"Asa Legitimate actor he was max
ing fairly good salary in a minstrel.
The constant falling off of the attend
ance, due to the growth of the moving
pictures which had just entered on their
era of popularity, concerned him no less
than the manager who was obliged to
find the salaries.
Mr.. Bunny took several weeks off.
He studied the motion pictures, their
possibilities, their shortcomings and
their advantages. He saw in them a
great future, he saw in them inevitable
damage to the real" shows if not their
eventual destruction. Like far-seeing
business man, faculty not usually &C
credited to an actor, he decided if there
was to be success in that line he wanted
to share in it.
Strange to relate he found difficulty
in securing an engagement and finally
was obliged to pose for nothing, after
having abandoned his former position.
He started for nothing, but he was not
obliged to work long without pay. Mr..
Bunny's experience is reminder that
it doesn't matter where one begins, or
what one receives in the beginning, pro-
vided one begins right. Nashville Ban

According TO the laws of war, any
civilian who is found with arms in his
possession is liable to be shot without
mercy. Although this seems e very

for the safeguarding OF the whole

The rules of war say that no men
will be recognized as combatants I'm
less they wear q distinguishing badge.
which can be easily recognized. II it
were not for this any number OF men
could at any time band themselves
together and say they were belliger-
ents. If this were allowed therefore
invading troops would safeguard them
selves against surprises by killing ev-
cry man in villages through which
they marched.
This particular rule Is 50 stringent

GOOD LAW TODAY
New Ter K World

1t is a solemn protest that more than
1000 American importers lodged with
the state department and president
against the British blockade Of the neu-
tral state of Holland, 1t is a frivolous
defense of British policy that we find
in a few newspapers so intensely anti
German that they are inclined TO ac-
cept any humiliation that Germany
enemies may put upon US.
No American right should be sac
rifced in behalf Of any belligerent.
AS the greatest of nations at peace,
the United States is charged not
only with the defense Of its own
sovereignty but with the preservation
of the privileges Of all neutrais now
and forever.
In support Of the British blockade
Of Holland we hear frequently of the
case of the Springbok that arose dur
ing our Civil war. We never hear from
sources sympathetic with Great Brit
ain of the case Of the Peterhoff. which
is more directly in point
in the affair of the Springbok the
United States supreme court laid
down the doctrine of continuous
voyage. The ship, sailing from Eng
land. was ostensibly destined to Mas
sau. in the Bahamas. Her cargo was
made up Of powder and other supplies
for the confederate army. She was
seized before reaching Nassau, and the
court held that she was lawful prize
because there was no question Of her
actual destination OF of the fact that
her cargo was contraband. That is law
today.
There Is no resemblance between
this situation and the one that has ap-
peared in Holland. We were biockad-
ing an enemy. Our blockade was eff
fective all the way from the capes Of
the Chesapeake TO the mouth of the
Rio Grande. Great Britain pretends
to be blockading Germany, but in fact
it is blockading Holland.
The so-called blockade of Germany
is VIGOROUSLY ineffective, for the
greater part Of that country's sea coast
is on the Baltic, and it is as free as
ever il was. Furthermore, the trade
between the United States and HoI-
land, now inteTrupted-even that part
of it which has to do with Germany
Is not contraband. In law, such goods
are free,
