Carrying Neutral Mails and Passen-
gers, Adopted Emblem for Safety.

London, Feb. 6.-The Cunard Line
steamer Lusitania crossed the Irish
Sea flying the American flag. The
Lusitania sailed from New York Jan
uary 10, arriving at Liverpool to-
day.
An American passenger said the
captain claimed the right to hy the
American flag because he had neutral
mails and neutral passengers aboard.
While the British foreign office has
received no official advices concern
ing report current in shipping cir
cles that the Lusitania few the
American flag on entering LIVERPOOL
this morning, and will make no for
nal statement until the matter is
presented in definite form, a promi-
nent British official to-day said mas
much as the British government
grants ships Of other nations the priv
ilege Of using the British flag to es-
cape capture, it naturally feels that
such privilege would be granted to
IT'S ships in similar emergency.
The British merchant shipping act
passed in 1894 contains the follow
ing paragraph:
IF person uses the British flag
and assumes the British national
character on board a ship owned in
whole or in part by persons unquali-
fed to own British ship, for the
purpose OF making the ship appear to
be British, the ship shall be subject
to forfeiture under this act unless the
assumption has been made for the
purpose of escaping capture by the
enemy or by a foreign ship Of war in
the exercise of some beligerent
right"

"Cousin Willie" Has Il Talk Fest
About Expenses.

Dear Legislature: ! seat myself to
write and tell you what Ebenezer
Werner has gone and done. Well, he
introduced a bill in the Senate re-
quiring all public schools to operate
moving pictures. Now, here, Cousin
Legislature, don't you go and act the
fool and let that bill pass through
YOU. ! say it is an unwise law for
the present, and here is my reason
for telling you these things:
There are about 100 public schools
in Oconee county. TO get a picture
machine for all OF these schools
would cost the Taxpayers $l5,000
The films, or reels, will cost each
school while in session, say, $l2 a
week. Each school will average a
| 6 weeks session, which, multiplied
by 10O-the number of schools in
the county--wiil make total OF
900 weeks, and this, at $l2 a week
for films, or reels, would mean ano-
ther cost OF $19,20G. Why, yes
certainly you will need an operator
in each school, which will cost no
less than So week more for 600
weeks, which will amount to $4,000.
U wish you would hush and let
me finish talking to you).
No, that is not all Of the expense
attached to the scheme. You hadn t
thought about the poles and electric
wire running to all Of these school
houses, had you? Thirty-two thou
sand dollars more gone.
Gee whiz! What next?
Why, the wiring, or cutting in, TO
each school house would average
three dollars, which makes another
total OF $500.
N wish you would sit up and lis
ten. 1t won't XIII you, but it will
break you. DO have mercy! What
neXt?)
Why, the electric current comes
next, at cost Of not less than so
cents day for five days a week,
which, multiplied by /, 600 weeks,
amounts to $4,000 more.
Now, dear Legislature, am nearly
through. The express charges on
the films and extra charges made by
the insurance companies on the
school buildings while these mo
Vies" are being run therein would
represent another $4,000, which, all
told, amounts to the grand total Of
$78,300 Of the public school fupds
