Berlin, March (via London) in
its reply to the American note con-
eerning the German naval war zone,
the German government agrees that
under certain conditions its subma-
pines will halt and investigate mer-
chantmen and will proceed against
only such vessels as are found to be
carrying contraband or are owned in
nations hostile to Germany.
The reply declares Germany's readi-
ness to accept virtually all of the
American proposals except the one
which would restrict the use of an
ctored mines to purely defensive pur-
poses. The German government ex-
presses the belief that belligerents can
not AFFORD to abandon entirely the
use of anchored mines for. offensive
operations. 1t is willing to consider
tte abandonment Of floating mines.
To Regard Law.
In case German submarines TAKE ac-
ton after investigation against mer-
chantmen carrying contraband or
owned in hostile countries, it is agreed
that sucn action will be in accordance
with the general rules OF international
law. This presupposes, however, the
abandonment of the use of neutral
flags by merchantmen of hostile ma
tions or the arming of such merchant
men. If such tactics are employed
Germany contends, it would be i'm
possible to restrict the operations OF
submarines in this manner
The reply suggests that there be
constituted in bse countries concerned
American commissions to which sup
plies Of foodstuffs sOr the use of the
civilian population could be cons1gn-

The State.

The State
Washington, March 2.-The house
bill dividing South Carolina into east
erh and western federal judicial dis
tricts and providing for the appoint
ment Of an additional district judge
passed the senate tonight. 1t now goes
to the president. The bill requires the
president to make public the names
Of sponsors for any applicant Gor ap-
pointment.
The present district judge resident
in eastern South Carolina is to become
Judge of tat district, but will retain
jurisdiction in the western district in
cases which already have come before
him.
AS passed BY the house today the
bill provides that the court shall be
held at regular periods at GreenVille,
Rock Hill and Greenwood, and the
office of the clerk o. the court shall
be located at Greenville.
,As passed today the house bill pro-
vides that the Cullum amendment shall
be added, this requiring the names Of
indorsers to be made public.

bored diligently to have this bill pass

complished

ed. This plan, it is said, is contem-
plated in the American proposals. The
reply also suggests that these commis-
sions should be allowed to import and
control the distribution of other ar
ticles, especially fodder, put on the
conditional contraband list in TIE
declaration of London. Germany
states that interference with articles
on the absolute free list in the dec
laration of London should be aban l.
doned.
Calls 1t Fair.
"What most impressed us in the
American note was the evident spirit
of absolute fairness in which the
American government approached tn
problems and its desire to propose
solution which could be accepted by
both sides,'' said high official of the
German government today. eve en-
deavored in the reply to follow the
same rule. The notifications we: sug-
gested are inspired by the desire to
round out and complete the Ameri-
can proposal.
eve are sure, for instance, that the
american government would have in
serted the clause covering armed mer-
o3antmen if this subject had occurred
to them. The reservation regarding
the offensive use of anchored mines is
justified by Tle Hague convention
which expressly authorizes such pro-
cedure.
'Ihe government is convinced that
the American proposals furnish an ac-
ceptable basis for practical solution
of tie present differences and prob
lens of the. neutrals and belligerents.

1t is stated by those who nave eX-
amined into the matter that an error

tiation of leans and direct sales, but
providing no appropriation for car
rying it into effect although this leg
islature, in these lard times, had made
larger appropriations o. public funds
that any legislature which had ever
existed in tne State. That he deplored
the tendency on the part of botl indi-
viduals and the government to go into
debt. He said that the bulk of the
taxes were paid by the land and Wis

this was one year when it was right
that the legislature should go slow
in the expenditure of. public money
and that for tnat resaon lie was trying
to run the Stae warehous at as small
an expense as possible, but that the
sale of one cargo of cotton abroad

TIE State warehouse commissioner,
even so late in the season, is still

On the first Monday in March, in re-
sponse to a call from the farmers Of

Laurin delivered an address to about
four hundred people in the court house
in Anderson. T:ere was some con-
fusion about the date Of the meeting,
one of the Anderson papers having
announced that the meeting would be
on Saturday The. address was lis
tened to WITH the closest attention,
and with every mark of approval from
those present He said that in the be-
ginning this season, when it seemed
that there would be no market for cot
ton, on account of the war and the
promise of a 16,O00,O 0,O0O-bale crop, tnat
he, with others, travelled from here to
Texas, urging the farmers to hold
cotton; that tie cotton congress and
the Southern cotton association held
a convention in New Orleans and began
a systematic campaign urging farm
ers not to sell their cotton; that It
was the greatest holding movement
ever seen in tie South, and demon
strates that if tie farmers could, be
united they hold the whip hand at
an times That cotton had gone UP
from tie low point of >. cents to 8 II;
t6e highest point since the war began.
That he had. contended all the time
that tie under-cons of cotton
had been n1agnifed, because the war
itself had found new uses, especially
or low-grade cotton. That it would
nave been just as easy to have put cot
ton to y cents as to 8; that II the
farmers could have been induced to
absolutely retire 100000 bales and
tie world knew that, that they could
have sold the remaining 1O,OOO,O00
bales for more money than the 16,OOO,-
900 bales. In order to do this, how
ever, an effectual warehouse system
was absolutely essential. eve have
made tie beginning in South Carolina,
and it is no wonder that standard
warehouses and the banks owning
them, charging from 25 cents to 30
cents bale storage, strenuously op-
pose the State system, wnere cotton
is stored at about 8 cents bale.
He then took up tae question of loans,
and of making sales direct from the
armer TO the mill, and said that H.
600 900 bales of this crop had been
sold. about 100000 bales Of this
amount having been exported That
much of this cotton had been bought

from Is to 20 cents pound, netting
