AUSTRO. O.HUNGARIAN NOTE.
ONE OF FRIEND TO FRIEND

Vienna, July Is (via London) =
From a high authoritative source at
t foreign Office, a representative of
the Associated Press has received an
explanation Of the motives said to
have inspired the dispatch of tie Aus
Hungarian note to the United States
regarding American traffic in war n1u-
nitions.
The Austro- Hungarian statesman
who spoke said that although the facts
on which the note is based had been in
existence for a long time, tie COM
munication was sent only now when,
after great victories in Galicia, it could
not be interpreted as cry for help
from a land in distress.
He disavowed any idea that the note
was sent at the request or inspiration
of Germany, asserting that tae step
was taken spontaneously in the hope
that, owing to the undisturbed friendly
relations between Austria-Hungary
and the United States, tee note would
be assured sympathetic reception.
"The note" said this statesman, "is
inspired by friendly feeling of the
monarchy towards tee Union where so
many of our subjects nave found a
second home. It is the speech Of a
friend to a friend-an attitude which
we are the more justified in taking be-
cause of the relations of the two states

PLANS TO LIMIT
COTTON IMPORTS
Britain Would Let NeutralS Have Sup
ply-NOt Any to Germany.

LONDON, July 10.-1 he DI1I1Su SOF-
ernment iopes very shortly to limit
the export of cotton to neutral coun-
tries to precise amount of actual need.
The Marquis of Crewe, lord presi-
dent of the council and Liberal leader
in the house of lords, made an an
nouncement to this effect in the upper
house tits afternoon.
The Marquis of Crewe's statement
was made in reply to series of ques-
tons by Baron Charlwood regarding
the supply of cotton and other material
through neutral countries to Germany,
and whetl er the government had found
that the measures taken since last
March were effective.
The real question, he thought, was
vi: ether it was advisable to add cotton
to the contraband list. On that ques-
ton there had been number OF mis-
understanding and misapprehensions
and some of them, the speaker said,
undoubtedly obtained not only in this
country, but in neutral countries.
Have Cut Off Supply.
So far as could be ascertained, ne
continued, the naval measures taken
to prevent fresh supplies of cotton
from reaching Germany had been sue
cessful. The government hoped by
continual friendly negotiations to i'm
prove the position progressing toward
what must be their main purpose
namely, to limit the exports to those
neutral countries to the precise
amount of their actual needs, calcu-
lated on the average imports which
t. ey had employed at home during
the last few years.
The Marquis of Crewe said that on
this question of contraband there
could be no magic in the mere decla-
ration of any commodity as contra
band so long as the government pur-
sued its present system of examining
all goods. He did not think any one
would suppose ttat under interna-
tional law or the most elementary
rules or fair play it was possible to
institute blockade of neutral coun-
tries with whom England had no
quarrel.
New But Necessary.
Therefore the government had
adopted a policy, which admittedly
was novel, but which was rendered
necessary by the changed conditions OF
maritime warfare. The desire of the
government was to admit the export to
neutral countries of goods represent
ing tie needs of those countries, and
absolutely no more.
''In the United States,' ne said, "the
placing of cotton on the contraband
list would cause no small amount OF
alarm, and the government is con-
vinced that so far as the entrance Of
cotton into Germany is concerned we
should gain no benefit. At present
We stand better instructed in public
opinion in tie United States than our
enemies, and therefore, unless it is
clear that a change of this kind is
absolutely necessary, the government
is averse to taking action which would
be regarded by particular interest
in the soutt ern States of America as
being unfriendly.
"I certainly am not going to say that
if the military consideration were
found to be paramount we might not
have to face corresponding disadvan-
tages, and We should be unwise to bind
ourselves strictly"

Il current issue of Judge carries
very fine picture which teaches
lesson and carries a moral on the
speed lust. l think if Henry Wells
could get it in the movies for the
benefit of all drivers of automobiles
(and Fords) it might be good thing,
provided could get all the drivers
to come out and look at the picture.
The picture contains four sign boards,
and as l do not think it is copyrighted
| am going to give you the sign board
Inscriptions and suggest to tie city
authorities that they might place SIM
lar signs at some of the dangerous
crossings and turns in Newberry. The
picture represents road with sharp
curve in it and little further on is
big tree by the side of the road half
cut down by the autos and just beyond
is a grade crossing to railroad. The
first sign is just before reaching the
sharp turn in tie road and by the sign
stands an automobile with the driver
and the passengers eagerly reading
the sign which contains the following:
During tie first half of the year 1915,
fourteen speed maniacs were killed on
this turn. Do you want to be the 15th?"
Just as you reach the sharp curve is
this sign: eyes, this<fs DEAD MANS
CURVE You can prove it by taking
it at so miles per I1our." Alongside
the large oak hangs a sign which
reads: "This tree is still standing in
spite of the effort of 613 chauffeurs to
eliminate it." AS the road approaches
the grade crossing Of the railroad
there is another large sign board which
has on it: Last year 81 drivers
thought they could push the locomotive
off the track. If they could speak they
would tell you, 1T can't be done.'"

P. S.-Since writing the above stun

terrible accident by way Of collision

Well, anyhow you know wbat 1 mean.

and that reminds me that I read a
good editorial in the State the other
day and l want the people in NeWberry
who rush with a death-like speed to
the fire and who have no business there
except it be to stand around in the
way of the fremen to read t(1is clever
editorial. We have no motor truck
here, but we nave some horses that
are about as swift and they get there
pretty quick, and teen our chief has
no seventy horsepower red motor,
but whenever the alarm of fire is
sounded every old thing from the big
sest and finest in town in the shape Of
an automobile rushes down the s-ceet
;ust as fast as they can go regardless
of human life, and I .eckon they think
heir presence at the fire is essential,
but to tell the truth, I have never
seen any good they do, and I can see
a lot of harm they might do. But I
Just want you to read this editorial
and think about how every one VITO
can ride rushes to a fire in Newberry

rers and far away.

Underneath this picture is written:

there will be those to say that, "the
old fool has no business meddling
with these Things. When he gets to the
point where he can have an automo-
bile, t. en- maybe he would have right
to speak" Well, be that as it may, I
have written this epistle to the heath
ell, and will write another still, for we
are told to weary not in well doing.
While there is little hope for the speed
lust driver, still there are innocent
people who ere fools enough to ride
with him, and then look at the great
horde of other. people M2o' nave to
walk and ride in wagons and buggies
and On mules and donkeys and they
have a right to be heard. Then 1 want
to nelp create a sentiment to get rid
of tie grade crossings of the railroads
and every little helps, and then some
day 1 may have an automobile, and
want these people to learn that there
are other people besides themselves,
and maybe they will give me a little
BIT of the road. All these little things
combined give me a right to write
this epistle to the heather, and I am
going to write and continue to write
WI. ether I right any wrongs or not.
