WASHINGTON. July p. With
Pres't Wilson and the entire cabinet
in accord on the general principles
involved. Sec'y of State Lansing to-
day. began the final draft Of the note
which is TO go TO Germany IN rev
days in reply to the kaiser 5 recent
unsatisfactory communication regard
ing submarine warfare and the rights
Of neutrals at sea.
Officials still maintain an attitude OF
secrecy as to the text of the Amer
lean reply. 1t will be made public
when it is received in Berlin. 1t has
been ascertained, however, that the
answer of this government is friendly
but firm in tone and that it carries a
ring of fnality which was lacking IN
former communications. The United
States. in other words, after indulglng
in diplomatic correspondent win
Germany for several months, desires
now to close the long drawn argu-
ment into which Germany appeared
to be drawing the administration.
Sec'v Lansing said he had no Of
fetal report on the Orduna attack.

man vessel fired a torpedo at the or
duna before signalling her TO stop ls
still under way.
Eliminate Orduna.
1t is stated officially that the reply
to Germany will not be delayed for
the report on the investigation OF the
Orduna incident This investigation
was begun by the treasury depart
ment. at the instance of the depart
ment of state, but it is not possible 20
insert il into the note TO Germany
while il is being ascertained whether
a submarine fired on the Orduna with
out warning.
Should the investigation prove that
the Orduna was attacked without
warning and the lives of more tnan
20 Americans aboard her jeopardlzed,
that fact would aggraVate the present
situation between Germany and the
United States. 1t was felt by the pres
ident and his advisers, however. thaJ
the case of the Lusitania and the gen
eral principles involved in the long
standing controversy were suthclent
for the purpose of the reply which
now is in course of preparation, and
there is TO be no delay in Its dlSpaJcn.
Cabinet members have endeaVored
TO make il clear without directly re-

A stubborn backache is cause to sus-
pect kidney trouble When the kid
neys are infiamed and swollen, stoop-
ing brings sharp twinge in the small
OF the back, that almost takes the
breath away. Doan's Kidney Pills re-
vive sluggish kidneys-relieve aching
backs. Here's Americas proof:
w. R. Ryals, engineer, Seaboard Air
Line railroad, 221 Brannan Ave,
Americas, says: AT times l have a
dull, dragging ache across my back,
which causes my limbs to feel numb
! have this trouble principally wheH
on my feet for any length of time.
Sometimes l have backache, caused by
the strain of being in cramped posi-
tin so long or the Earring and jolting
of the engine. I need only to take a
few Doan's Kidney Pills to get prompt
relief. l often carry them while at
work, and always keep them in my

IMPROVED CONDITIONS.

One of the most interesting features
of the holiday season is the better
condition of the south as compared
with last year.
The banks of the county made their
statements as to their condition on
December Sth, and published them for
the benefit of the public. They were
very encouraging and showed many
thousand dollars on deposit in each
institution over last year.
While the merchants have complain
ed of their business during spasmodic
periods of the fall they are counted
as satisfied with the trade of this
week 1t is true that the condition of
the south rests mainly on the outcome
of the cotton crop, and as the price
has been not very satisfactory during
the past month the people have played
safe with the staple.
1t is to be hoped that the New Year
will bring Americas, Sumter county,
in fact, the entire south, the best fin
ancial condition in her history There
is no reason why such should not be,
The farmers are fighting the boil
weevil with every implement which

THE GREAT QUESTION.

Many people are absorbed in the
cuestion-when will the war end, but
the great and interesting question
what will be the condition after the
war, should occupy much attention.
On this topic, the New Orleans Daily
States, has the following editorial:
John Barrett, director general of the
Pan-American Union, in his speech
before the Southern Commercial Con-
gress at Charleston, came pretty near
hitting the nail on the head when he
said after the war the United States
would find itself "unbeloved by all
the present belligerents."
"The VICTOR" he added, will say
We won despite the United States,
while the losers will say, We lost be-
cause of the United States"
The Entente believes that, if we are
unwilling to enter the war, we ought
to realize that their cause is our
cause and that if they lose, conquer
ing Germany, as soon as she can re-
cuperate, will seek to bring us to her
knees as she has brought them. There
fore, they think, we ought not only to
supply them with everything they
need, but give them our whole-hearted
sympathy and make no complaint ii
they throttle our commerce with other
nations and ride roughshod over our
rights.
On the other hand, the Central pow
ers believe not only that our neutral
ity is sham and a pretense but that
for our part in furnishing their enc
mics with the implements of war they
would already have won the war
And both sides will be bitterly en-
vious of the profits we have made out
of their misfortunes and of the extens-
ion of our trade at their expense.
How any patriotic element in this
country can, therefore, oppose in prin-
ciple the plans of the Administration
to put the country in state of pre-
paredness for post-bellum possibilities;
is difficult of comprehension.
There is not nation in Europe to-
day which does not believe that at
this time we would be powerless sue
cessfully to defend ourselves against
al attempted invasion from abroad.
That must also be the judgment of
every rational American citizen.
What then is the remedy?
With the lessons of thew ar before
us-one Of them that the helplessness
OF nation instead of a protection is
an invitation to other nations to
strike it down-shall we sit down and
suck our thumbs and dream of the
dawn of an era of permanent and I'M
A.. 10 T..
sci of our dangers and, with no inten-
ton to provoke and nation to make
war upon us, so order our national
defenses as to make any nation or
group Of nations which no longer loves
Us think twice before it makes up its
mind to attack us.
