|, 81, wonder if you get: the paper from
Kirksboro, ILL.,, here" he asked Then,
half explanatory, half-apologetic, hesaid,
''You see, used to live there"
Someone went through the pile of
exchanges, and found the paper he
sought, the Kirksboro Sun, just an ordi-
nary country weekly, full of bad type,
and badly written news. The visitors
thanks were more profuse for this paper
than for all the others, and he went out.
That little country paper was the last
tie that held a wandering casual laborer
to a place he once called home. Rela-
tives and friends who once lived there
had gone, or disowned him as worthless,
and failure. But the old weekly, with
it's neighborhood gossip of marriages,
deaths, births, crops, and sickness,
brought him back again to memories of
the old home town. Some day., the
little weekly may draw him home. He
will make a new start, and the days of
his wandering will be past.-Tke Empcrio

Lincoln, the Learner.

"HE hesitation which marked
Lincoln's policy in the first
year Of his administration and
which caused him to lag very
often so far behind the more ardent of
his supporters has been acknowledged
even by those whom it most irritated
to have been simply the hesitation Of
q man unused to his position, but who
was conscious Of his deficiencies and
determined to commit no error through
inexperience, wrote Edwin L. Godkin.
And all admit the profound wisdom,
the intimate knowledge of the people
with whom he had to deal, displayed
In his determination from first to last
to be behind rather than in advance
of the popular sentiment. And he
grew up to the level of his responsible
it1es with a rapidity perhaps never
equaled.
he knew how defective his training
and education were, how little his pre-
vtous course Of life had done to fit
him for his position, and to what
storm of hate and malignity he ex-
posed himself, and yet he never
flinched.
He was never guilty Of the smallest
pretense of affectation. He never at
tempted to conceal the fact that he
was a learner, but he learned with
rapid1ty and retained with a tenacity
which astOunded those who thought
they had nothing but backWoodsman
to deal with.
In four years he had struck out,
though surrounded with difficulties
such as no other statesman, except
perhaps William the Silent or Cavour,
has ever had to contend with, policy
of which the whole country has &C.
knowledged the wisdom.
His measures for the destruction of
the confederation had been crowned
with success, and his plan of pacifica-
ton had received the emphatic APPROX
al OF both parties at the north, and he
had secured a hold on the respect and
affection Of the great body of the peo-
pie which no president before him. ex.
cept Washington, had ever possessed
and it is even doubtful whether Wash
gton occupied as high a position
among his contemporaries.

NEW YEAR FAVORS
DISTRIBUTED IN TRENCHES

Rome, Ian. 1.-THE annual new
years ceremony Of the presentation
of greetings to the king by cabinet
members, senator's, deputies and high
state officials is occurring at the war
front this year instead Of in the Qui-
rinal palace at Rome. This is the
greatest change noticeable in the cap
ital, and it adds to the popularity Of
the Italian sovereign who since the
war began, irrespective Of the great
heat in the Isonzo valley in July and
August or Of the extreme cold at this
season on the crests Of the Alps, TO-
900 feet high, has refused to leave his
soldiers even for a day.

BIZ ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Jan. 1.-Oficials to-
night anxiously awaited details of the
torpedoing of the British steamer
Persia, which was sunk in the Medi-
terranean with great loss of life and
on which were Americans, including
Robert McNeely, of Monroe, North
Carolina, American consul at Alden,
Arabia, known to have embarked.
While the investigation may show
that the submarine commander was
justified in sinking the vessel, officials
here are not inclined to minimize the
gravity the situation should develop
If there has been a violation of
American rights.
Should the submarine prove to be
an Austrian, as is apparently the
case, Vienna should be given every
opportunity to explain, it is believed,
because of the recent assurance given
by that government in the case Of the
Ancona.
It was thought here that word
would be received from McNeely be-
fore this, If he had escaped, as it has
been two days since the ship sunk.
1t is pointed out that since the Aus
TRAN Ancona note was presented by
Ambassador Penfeld Wednesday and
Persia sunk Thursday, Vienna might
plead lack of time to inform the
submarine commanders of the new
order.

GERMANS ARE

General Attention of People
Is Attracted by Publica-

az AssOCIATED PREss.


Berlin, Jan. 1.-The article in. the
Neue Zuricher Zeitung purporting to
give Germany's peace conditions, a
summary of which was circulated by
the Wolff bureau among the German
newspapers December % attracted
general attention among the German
public.
No unified current of comment is
discernible In the leading articles of
the German newspapers, whose atti
tude is dictated largely by devotion to
the various schools of thought which
advocate large or moderate annexa-
tions of territory or none at all.
The newspapers, both in Berlin and
in the provinces, including such inn
portant organs as the Koelnische Zei-
tung, the Frankfurter Zeitung, the
Hamburger Nachrichten and the Rhe-
nish Westfaelische Zeitung, all make
a feature of the article, printing it
prominently.
Restoration of Belgian sovereignty
under certain conditions.
No annexation of French territory.
Separation of Poland from Russia
as an independent kingdom under a
German prince.
Restoration of all German colonies.
Payment of an indemnity which
would assume the form of transfer
to Germany of Russia's Indebtedness
to France amounting TO eighteen bill
lion francs and the payment for a

hitherto spent annually on the Bel
gian military establishment.

LATEST ATTACK GROUND
FOR A NEW DANGER

Washington, Jan. destruction
of the British liner Persia with pos
sible loss of American lives, throws
relations between the United States
and the Teutonic powers into new
danger.
Coming almost at the hour when a
satisfactory adjustment of the deli
cate situation was at hand by Aus
trials acceptance of the cardinal
points of the American demands in
the Ancona case, this new element
threatens to complicate affairs with
Austria as thoroughly as the destruc-
ton of the Arabic, following so close
ly the Lusitania exchanges, brought
on a renewed crisis with Germany.
From such incomplete information
as was at hand today the two situa-
tons are regarded as almost parallel.
1t was generally presumed In official
circles that as was the case in the
crisis with Germany, the Austrian ad-
miralty and the Vienna foreign Office
are working at cross purposes. It was
regarded as strong possibility that
while the foreign Office is ready to
accede TO the contentious OF the
United States, the admiralty, bent on
the success of its submarine policy,
has not yet been brought into line.
There is, however, the added pos
sibility that the submarine which
sunk the Persia, being far from home,
had not been instructed in the new
policy of the Austrian government.
The destruction or the Persia,
coupled with the recent sinking of the
Japanese liner Yasaka Maru and the
French liner Vile de La Ciotat, lends

Bleakely for Scene of
the Trouble
q AssoCIATED PREss.


Blakely, Ca, Jan. 1.-Two autonno-
biles carrying armed men passed
through town tonight bound for the
scene of the recent negro killings
growing out Of the murder of Henry
j. Villipigue. an taxersesr, who was
shot Tuesday by Grandson Goolsby
and his two sons, negroes from an adj
joining plantation and possess still are
securing river in . hunt for the
younger Goolsbys, said to have es-
capped.
Six negroes are dead as result of
clashes the past few days and all
negro lodge buildings in Early coun-
ty, numbering a dozen, were burned.
Officers declared they had heard
that posses of whites were hunting
negroes Wednesday night, Thursday
and again Friday, but the hunt took
place in isolated portions of the coun-
ty, and if other negroes were killed,
their bodies had not been found by
the authorities up to today nor had
anyone made a definite statement of
the facts.
Sheriff Howell and other officers
were dubious today about expressing
an opinion about what might result
within the next few days. Blakely
citizens, who took part in efforts
Thursday to capture Goolsby and his
sons, accused of killing Mr.. Will
pigue, made no denial today of the
parts they said they took in killing
Grandson Goolsby and Hightower.
No arrests have been made in con-
nection with the affair.
The report, however, caused q
crowd of from 70 to 100 to leave here
for the Grimsley home fourteen miles
away last night.
Various reports are reaching here
today Of more negroes being killed
than the five the ofIcers know of.
None of these reports could be posi-
lively confirmed today.
Early county borders on Alabama
and lies about thirty miles north of
the Florida line According to re-
ports here late last night, Mike and
Ulysses Goolsby, two young negroes,
accused of killing Villipigue had gone
into Alabama making their way
toward Montgomery, or had fed
south toward Greenwood, Fla. A
posse of whites was said to have
started toward Greenwood last night,
while others crossed into Alabama.
Last nights outbreak resulted in
the death of Ed Law and his adopted
son, Precious" Law, both of whom,
it was claimed, had aided the young
Goolsbys to escape. Several negro
lodge buildings were burned, two
within the city limits of Blakely,
while another negro lodge in Blakely
was torn down by negroes to prevent
flames spreading to negro houses,
should it be fired. According to re-
ports reaching here today, not a ne
gro lodge has been left standing in
the county, and police said they knew
five had been destroyed.
A report that papers found on the
body of Early Hightower and Grandi-
son Goolsby, two negroes killed
Thursday, showed that a conspiracy
existed among negroes of the various
negro lodges to kill Villipigue was
said to have caused the angry whites

Hundreds In Pensacola

The st. Nicholas Doll and Toy
Fund is now three years old and
those who have done such faithful
work for the children during these
past three year must feel that the
stability of their work is assured and
that each year the work will take a
frmer hold on the sympathies of the
people and will become dearer
to them.
The first year the fund raised was
larger than it has been at any time
since, because times were better, and
there was not such a crying need
for every penny as there has been
during the past two years. Last year
two funds were raised through The
Journal, one through the Civic Lea
que for the Christmas ship that was
sent to the Belgians and then the st.
Nicholas Girls Doll and Toy Fund,

much as those at the head of the
Doll and Toy Fund wanted to do,
though notwithstanding that a splen-
did donation Of toys, clothing, etc.
was sent from Pensacola to war
wrecked Belgium, about three hun
dred of our own children were
made very happy at Christmas time,
in 1914.
This year the effort was put forth
to do just little more than has been
done before for the children at the
Christmas season, and by concentrate
ing on the one fund this was ac-
complished, the results having been
most gratifying to those who pro-
NOTED the work. Every cent of the
money was spent with Pensacola
merchantmen who make their
homes here and help to build up the
town, and the following statement
of receipts and expenditures will give
those interested an idea of the spen-
did results accomplished and the
amount of money put in circulation
