Nebraskan Affair Loses Some OF
Its Seriousness, Brokers
Feel Today.

NEW YORK, May 27.-With the Ger
man note still problem OF the future'
and the Nebraskan disaster having
lost overnight a degree of the serious
ness Of its aspect, the stock market TO-
day assumed a moro optimistic air, and
prices advanced generally. Traders
took the view that the German situa-
tion had not been materially COM
plicated by the Nebraskan affair.
The disposition to pursue conserva-
tive course until the Kaiser's reply to
President Wilson's note shall have been
received. however, still prevailed, and.
| consequently, after brief period OF
rather brisk trading, INDUCED in short
ly after the opening. the market again
lapsed into a state of inactivity.
Initial price changes were small, put
the general trend was upward. and the
tendency improved upon the early sue
cceding transactions. Activity increased
as the prices advanced, and in the rail-
road stocks gains ranging from small
fractions to more than point were re-
corded. while the industrials In in

PROGRESS OF THE WAR
Situation Generally as Seen in London
Yesterday.

Although it is not yet certain that
a German submarine sank the Dutch
steamer Katwyk off the North Hinder
Lightship last night, the destruction
Of the vessel has aroused the indig-
nation Of the Dutch people as evil
denced by the editorials Of newspapers
in Holland.
The Katwyk, loaded with grain
from Baltimore consigned to the
Dutch government, Is reported to nave
been lying at anchor at the time OF
the explosion and to have been hylng
the Dutch flag. The Dutch newspa-
pers insist that no mistake could have
been made and that II a German
submarine actually ~torpedoed the
steamer, I'VE must expect that the
German government will without loss
Of time be made responsible for this
severe violation Of the rights OF neu-
trail powers"
The fact that the Dutch govern
ment was directly involved in the
Katwyk's cargo and that the news of
the sinking Of the steamer came m
mediately after announcement that
four Dutch trawlers had been seized
by the Germans and taken to Zee
brugge apparently has heightened the
feelings of the Hollanders.
lit hdlW u SAiN
mors Of diplomatic movements in Italy
and the near east seemingly have
made the people Of England almost
forget last nights Zeppelin raid and
fighting on the continent.
Next In interest to the sinking OF
the Katwyk was the publication or a
white Paper" showing Great Brit
ain acknowledged that British cruis-
ers had sunk the German cruiser
Dresden in Chilean territorial waters
and had ~apologized for the action OF
her squadron.
AS far as fighting is concerned the
battles in the C%arpathians and in the
Woevre are the only important ones.
The Russians are said to be continu-
ing their efforts to force the Austro-
German armies completely out of the
Carpathians. Having successfully TAX
en- the western passes they are n
ing their energies in an effort to cap
ture the Uzsok pass and the heights
northeast of that break in the noun
tains.
Petrograd claims that the Russians
are making steady progress despite
the efforts Of the Austro- Germans to
out them; but the Austrtans in
sist that the recent fighting has been
in their favor and that they captur-
ed announcer lInpOTldHt Height
west Of Uzsok pass.
In the Woevre the French appa-
rentiy have revived their offensive and
at several points claim to have added
materially to ground previously gain
ed, which would bring them a step
nearer their main object-the removal
Of the German wedge which bends
their line back to st. Michel.
In the Argonne, in Alsace and In
the region Of the Sommo, the French
declare they also have made some
progress, but this ~contradicts the Ber-
lin official report, which says that all
French attacks were repulsed.

CONCERNING YORK SCHOOLS.

John r. carroll, superintendent Of
education Of York county, On Wednes-
day received a letter from Prof. Lueco
Gunter, state inspector Of rural
schools, in regard to his impressions
Of York county rural schools, follow
ing his four days tour of inspection
in York county last week. Following
are some extracts from the commu-
nication with reference to matters not
covered in the interview previously
published in The Enquirer:
1T was a great pleasure to spend
four days last week with you in your
schools. Having been a resident of
York county for three years, / knew
something Of school conditions in the
county. But my knowledge had not
extended beyond the town schools and
q few Of the country schools in the
eastern portion of the county. While
l knew that in the past few years
rapid progress had been made over
the county generally along all school
lines. I must say that what I saw of
the schools far exceeded my expecta-
tons.
For t~hrce-teacher rural graded
schools Filbert and Cotton Belt would
rank among the good schools of the
state. These two schools with their
modern buildings and the interest on
the part of the people that the larger
schools have aroused, demonstrate the
wisdom of the larger and better school
us rontrasted with the small one
teacher school.
while not so large, the Guthries-
vile. Bethesda and Oak Ridge schools
are t~wo-teacEer graded schools that
are doing excellent work in their COM
munitins. The buildings are such as
to meet the needs Of the community
for school purposes and for commu-
nifty gatherings, and the teachers evil

The farmers are able to get busy
at last, and they are feeling better.
Col. T. L. Kirkpatrick was elected
mayor Of Charlotte last Tuesday over
Mr.. Frank McNinch, by a majority OF
So votes.
This Field Day crowd in Yorkville
today Is suggestive Of the idea that
York county is a pretty big thing from
the standpoint Of population both as
to quality and quantity.
In point of attendance, Field Day Is
all that could be expected. The chill
dren, together with their teachers and
trustees are here from all parts Of the
county, and it is a great time they are
having.
Mr.. r. B. Riddle Of zeno, stated
yesterday that wheat and oats are
looking fine in Bethel township. The
wheat acreage is not nearly 80 large
as the farmers hoped to get in, but
the prospect is good.
Mr.. Jim johnson Of Yorkville, re-
ports that he made sixty gallons OF
fine molasses from one-third Of an
acre of ribbon cane last year, and he
Is going to thy the experiment this
year on a somewhat larger scale. He
sold his molasses last year at 80 cents
wholesale and at 80 and IS tents re-
tail.
Mr.. !. II. Campbell, quite a success
full farmer of Bethel, is growing
doubtful about nitrate Of soda for a
fertilizer. He thinks his cotton land
has not been producing as we'll as for
merly and has a theory that the
trouble Is possibly due to the bad in
fiuence of nitrate Of soda previously
used on oats. He has large quantities
Of oats this year and they are look
ing fine, Notwithstanding the fact that
he has used no nitrate Of soda
The First National Bank Of York.

manner which indicated very clearly

and enterprise to enable it to, make a

Greenyille is certainly getting some
advertising out of the fact that she is
to speed S950,O00 for good roads. Pa
pers near and far are commenting up
on her progressiveness. But all this
advertising will be exceeded by the
advertising she will receive If the
money be wisely and effectively ex-
pended and she take the lead among
the Piedmont counties, not only in
providing money for good roads, but
in acquiring them. 1t must not be
forgotten that the Greenville highway
commission has undertaken a very re-
sponsible. onerous task made heavier
by the fact that it is blazing the way
as there is no form Of highway con-
struction within the means in the
hands of the commission that has been
tested and proven satisfactory for the
soil that prevails in this section of
the state. There should be no impa-
tjence f the commission proceed more
slowly than some would have 1t in the
discharge Of its duty.-Greenville
Piedmont.
We wish Greenville well. 1t is a
great and important experiment on
which she is entering and whether she
succeeds or fails the whole state will
be her debtor. II she succeeds, then
the other counties will study carefully
her methods and profit by them. If
she fails the other counties will profit
likewise by her experience. We agree
thai success will mean much to Green
Vile. She will establish herself as
easily the NEST progressive county in
the state, ami she will derive much of
the benefit that will properly go along
with such a w~ell-earned distinction.
We hope she will succeed.
