SUBMARINE IN STEEL TRAP.
Bodies of 80 Germans Found in Craft
Held by Steel Net.

Held by Steel Net.
The effectiveness of the steel sub
marine traps which have been put
down to guard the British rivers and
harbors has been shown by the fact
that VITO German submarines have
been caught in the Firth of Forth.
In addition third has been sunk on
the coast of Haddingtonshire and a
fourth was rammed last Wednesday.
disabled, captured and towed to
Leith, where the crew was taken
prisoners. No description of these
nets can be given and no information
of their effectiveness has been allow
ed to go forth by cable, but at this
date, since King George himself has
inspected one of the captured sub
marines and it is talked about freely
no harm can come from the letting
the world know of it.
The first of the submarines, one OF
the very large type, was caught IN
the net of the Firth of Forth which
held it at the bottom until it was
found by inspectors. Engineers and
divers with great dredges went to
work and succeeded in lifting the ma
chine and towing it to dock.
When the matches were finally
opened an investigation showed twen-
ty-nine dead German sailors and their
officers. In addition there were four
Scotch fishermen. Today the names
of these men stand very high in their
native land.
1t was apparent that the subma-
rine. bound on a voyage of destruc-
ton up the Firth came upon the men
fishing. She took them prisoners.and
ordered them to steer their craft
safely; up to point where they could
accomplish their mission.
1t has been asked: Did the fisher
men, knowing of the traps, the huge
steel nets strtched here and there
deliberately steer the submarine into
one of them" They we're caught
and they died.-London dispatch to

CAN BUY LIQUOR TWICE \ DAY.
Nothing to Prevent Dispenser Making
Two Sales. Says Attorney General.

Columbia, May 15.-There is moth
ing TO prevent dispenser from max
ing more than one sale day to a
person and nothing to prevent the
county dispensary board from fixing
the retail price for a barrel of beer
which can be sold to person, is the
opinion of Attorney General Thos. H.
Peoples rendered to the county dis
pensary board of Williamsburg coun-
ty.
The clerk of the dispensary board
rendered the following questions to
the attorney general, which together
with his answers will be of interest
to every dispensary county in the
State:
Dear Sir: | am in receipt of
yours OF the 18th inst, in which you
ask:
First. Can dispenser make
more than one sale to one man day?
Second. Can a dispenser sell a
barrel of beer to any party and II so,
can the board fix a price per barrel
at less than the selling price per bot
tie?
In reply to your first question, |
will say that there is nothing in the
law, as see it, prohibiting more than
one sale to the same person day,
unless, of course, the dispenser be-
lieves that the party is intoxicated,
as provided by section S53 of the
code.
LAS to your second question, l pre-
sumo that you refer to the sale of
bottled beer in barrels and not to
the sale of beer in bulk. Section $50
provides that the county dispensary
board, before permitting any dispen-
sary to offer any liquor for sale, shalt
cause the same to be put into pack
ages of not less than one-half pint
nor more than five gallons and sell
the same. The dispenser shall sell
by the package only and no person
shall open the same or drink any of
the contents on the premises.
In my opinion, the limitation as
to five gallons to be contained in a
package refers to the quantity that
is in each individual bottle, jug or
barrel and would not apply to the one
hundred and twenty bottles of bot
tied beer in a barrel of beer. In my
opinion a barrel of bottled beer may
be sold by the county dispensary, but
no barrel containing more than i've
gallons of beer in bulk may be legal
ly sold.
LAS to the fixing of the price, Sec
ton S51 provides that all sales shall
be for cash and at profit to be de-
termined by the board. In my opin-
ion under this section the retail price
of same is matter within the pow
ers and determination of the county
board"

WILSON REVIEWS FLEET.
Says Great Battleships Are Engines
to Promote Interests of Humanity.

New York, May 17.-President
Wilson today reviewed the Atlantic
fleet in the Hudson river and at a
luncheon rendered to him on shore
by the city of New York told a dis
tinguished gathering what the coun-
try and it's navy stood for. The great
battleships that lay in the river, he
said. were engines to promote the
interests of humanity.
The inspiring thing about Ameri-
ca the president asserted, lis that
she asks nothing for herself except
what she has right to ask for hu-
manity itself. We want no nations
property; we wish to question no ma
tion's honor; we wish to stand selfish
ly in the way of the development Of
no nation. 1t is not pretension
on our part to say that we are priv
ileged to stand for what every ma
ton would wish to stand for and
speaking for those things which all
humanity must desire"
The spirit which brooded over the
river today, said the president, was
lust solemn evidence that the force
of America is the force of moral prin-
ciple; that there is not anything else
that she loves, and that there isl not
anything else for which she will con-
tend" ;,
Tribute to Daniels.
The president took occasion to pay
tribute to Secretary of the Navy Dan
iels, who sat beside him.
Although the day was damp and
chilly, with occasional downpours Of
rain, the weather abated in. no way
the enthusiasm with which New York
greeted the head of the nation. In
the forenoon he reviewed land pa
rade of 5000 sailors and marines,
and from the moment he set foot on
shore until he returned to the May
flower to review the fleet, his prog
ress through the streets was a con-
tinuous ovation. He was plainly
touched by the welcome accorded
him.
Everywhere a spirit of patriotism
was shown. Many men and women
seized every opportunity to tell the
president of their support in the pres
ent international crisis. Thousands
stood in the chill drizzle while the
brigade of sailors and marines march
ed up 5th avenue. and during the af-
ternoon, with a cold, damp wind
blowing across the Hudson, and
thousands more later thronged van
tage points to watch the Mayfower
as she passed up the river between
the warships.
The presidents remarks at the
luncheon were greeted with tremen-
dous applause.

THOUGHT HE WAS ENGINEER.
Somnambulist Leaps From Second
Story Window of Hotel.

Spartanburg, May 17.-Under the
delusion that he was a railway engi-
neer, and had received instructions to
"go ahead D. H. Hudson, travel
ing salesman of Wilkesboro, jumped
out of a second-story window of To-
cal hotel early yesterday morning
and, clad only in his night clothes,
ran three blocks through the busi-
ness streets of the city, until he was
stopped by policemen. Hudson was
slightly hurt about the knee in his
lump. He was taken to local hos
pital, and, after an hour or two, was
released, having apparently fully re-
covered.

GERMANY DELAYS REPLY.
WEEK MAY ELAPSE BEFORE Pa
PER Is RECEIVED.
Believed that Entrance of Italy Into
the War Would Affect the At
titude of Germany.

Washington, May 1S.-Two impor-
tant factors, it became known to-
night, are working to delay for an
other week Germany's reply to the
I.usitania note.
First. The next few days are ex-
pected TO show whether Germany will
be confronted with new military sit
uation by the entrance of Italy into
the war.
Second. Interested diplomatists
here believe the interim of delay will
reveal whether the United States, Of
it's own initiative, will send a gener-
al protest to the allies against al
legged violations of international law
by interfering with commerce be-
tween American ports and neutral
European countries.
Officials here generally think the
Austro-Italian situation may absorb
the attention of the German govern
ment and delay composition of the
reply. 1t is realized that should Italy
become belligerent, Germany would
lose all hope of obtaining foodstuffs
or other supplies through the Medi-
terranean, and if Roumania followed
Italys lead, as predicted, the wheat
supply from Southeastern Europe
would be cut off. In such circum-
stances, it was explained in diplomat
ic quarters, Germany would find the
submarine even more invaluable as
weapon for reducing enemy sup
plies and commerce.
The idea that the United States will
send a note to the allies seeking mod
ification of the order in council has
it's origin in quarters where the con-
viction is held that such a move
would demonstrate to Germany that
the United States intends to be equal
ly vigorous in insisting on the obser-
vance of neutral rights by Great Brit
ain and her allies, making unneces-
sary an offer by Germany to return
to the maritime rules of internation-
/ al law if the allies do likewise.
Although, without definite infor-
nation, there is a disposition in we'll
informed quarters here to believe the
president will withhold any represen-
tations to England until Germany has
issued a reply, because of desire to
obtain a frank understanding with
Germany without complicating the
situation as existing between the Un-
tied States and the allies.
1t is known that for several weeks
there have been under preparation
two notes eventually to be sent to
Great Britain, one dealing with the
general subject of contraband and
the other embracing general repre-
sentations on >detentions of vessels
plying between neutral ports carry
ing non-contraband American goods.

MILK STANDARD NEEDS CHANGE
According to Conclusion of New York In
vestigator

I The public health reports of the L. s..
public health service for Aug. -, 1915,
publishes an article by Prof. II. w. Conn
of the Wesleyan university, Middleton,
Conn, on the discrepancies in the reports
of analyses of supposedly identical sam
Piles OF milk. This report, which is in
considerable length, considers whether
these discrepancies are due to the in
evitable difficulties in archaeological
analyses, ard the improvements which
may be made in the method of technique
of such analyses.
In October, 1914, four of the large lab
oratories in New York City determined
upon cooperative test by which some
of these questions could, If possible, be
answered. The planning and coordinate
ing of the whole series was in the hands
of a referee, and the tests lasted seven
months and involved something like 90
900 separate analyses by a variety OF
methods. The author concludes that the
present standard methods of milk analy.
sis are in need of revision; that individ-
usl analyses under the best condition are
subject to considerable variation so that
no single count can be properly relied
upon. The article contains 10 separate
conclusions, and will doubtless prove OF
great value TO those interested in the
of the purity of milk.

Why Not Exchange Meals with Your

is plenty Of work and little social life. I
enjoy keeping house and cooking. but [
long occasionally TO sit down TO a meal
that someone else has prepared. We
