Sees Pan-Amerjca Joining
to RepeI Overseas Attack

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. THAT
both victorious and defeated European
nations will be hostile to America at
the close of the European war is the
belief of John Barrett, director general
of the Pan American Union, expressed
in an address yesterday to the educa-
tional conference for foreign training
service of the Pan-American Scientific
Congress, which is meeting here and OF
which he is secretary general.
He also echoed the policy, which has
predominated throughout the sessions.
that ii any of the European belligerents
undertake to deal with one of the
American republics it also must deal
with the others.
In regard to the attitude of the pres
ent belligerents Mr. Barrett expressed
the view that the winners will de-
clare that they won despite the United
States and the other American repub-
lies. and that the loser will say that
their defeat is due to the United States
and her sister nations
THE American republics must
stand together for the eventualities
that may possibly develop" he said.

the celebration Of the City Club. A
throng Of automobiles. each OF which
kept its siren blowing and each Of
which was filled with gay crowds, was
parked along Market street while hum
dreds Of other machines threaded
their way among the street cars and
vehicles in a constantly moving pam
Drama. Hundreds Of persons from all
parts OF the State motored or came by
train to be participants in the cele-
bration at the hotel and club.
The ballroom of the City Club was
beautifully decorated with palms and
ferns through which soft, red-shaded
lights cleaned and twinkled. In the
winter garden, where the supper was
served, Christmas green's were fes-
toOned along the walls while holly
wreaths and red bells hung from
broad bands OF red ribbon.
Dancing was enjoyed by a great
many. A feature of the evening was
the unfurling of the large American
| flag promptly at II o'clock from the
stan erected for the occasion. Stimuli
taneous with the unfurling of the flag
there was a burst of red fire from the
elevation above the roof garden while
varied colored spot lights were thrown
upon the waving stars and stripes.
The strains of The Star Spangled
Banner played by the Henry and
Young Band from the platform. added
to the effectiveness of the spectacu-
lar event.
An incident occurred just after un-
furllng of the flag which created a SEN
sation Albert Jones, chief hall boy of
the club, climbed up the flag pole
hand over hand until he reached the
folds of the flag. From there he
waved his handkerchief to the crowds
far below for which he was rewarded
by lusty cheers.
The success OF the celebration of
the club was largely due to the spe-
cial committee in charge, which COM
prised DR.. Stanley Steele. II. T. Price
and II. +. First. This committee was
ably assisted by James E. Henry, who
furnished part of the music, and to

So. One day going around the coun-
try in his broken-down wagon, he
bought an old plow for fifty cents,
which he repaired and sold for $3.
This gave him an idea. Why not go
among the farmers and buy the dis
carded farm machinery that is left
to rust in the fields and yards? By
saving the money made in this way
he was soon able TO invest in a hun
dred dollars worth of second hand
farm machinery, which he repaired
and sold. The year following he
bought a thousand dollars worth,
then three thousand, and now Toe
Steuer is rated at $4,000. He at
tributes his success TO his punctu-
ality in keeping appointments and in
paying his debts when due. He de-
MED himself all unnecessary things
and saved his money, so that he
could enlarge his business.

Take an inventory of your twelve
months of lost opportunities-those
of you who have saved little or moth

some act of self-denial that might
form the cornerstone of individual
independence?
Every wage earning person ought

regularly, each day, or each week
no matter how little. Though it be
only twenty-five cents a week, save
it. Get into the habit of saving sys-

Not more than 200 persons could get

said, the number of survivors was

"The Persia was well-equipped with

fact that only four of her boats man

of a large loss of life.

early reports are exaggerated.

The Persia was en- route from Lon

great fleet of liners owned by PENN

engaged principally IN trade between
English ports and the Far East
The Persia displaced 1914 tons, being
only slightly smaller than the Italian
liner Ancona, which was sunk. by sub
marine. She was built in 1900 at Green
ock, Scotland, and was registered from
that port. She was 400 feet long and
had a 5s-foot beam. Her commander
as given by Lloyd's, was H. s Brad

Excepting the Lusitania and the Ara

Crop Conditions.
Crop conditions have not been as
profitable as they might have been.
The wheat crop was 80 TO 40 per
cent. less than last year which was
one OF the biggest on record. The
quality was not as good because OF
the wet spring. Prices we're about
the same.
The corn crop was 40 per cent. less
than the previous year. The wet
sprine interferred with the planting
Of corn and a big wind came when
the corn was maturing. Prices were
about the same as the previous year.
There was an average crop Of oats
The oyster business was above nor
NAL. The supply was big and prices
fair.
Because OF the wet spring the hay
crop was not up to the standard.
The potato crop in the two Virginia
counties. Accomac and Northampton.
was large and prices very small so
that the crop was looked upon as a
failure by the farmers. The farmers
there are as a result poor and col
Ioctions are slow.
The strawberry crop in the lower
part OF Virginia near Norfolk was a
failure, while on the upper Peninsula
& the crop was large, and because OF
the failure OF the crop lower down
