Period of Warning nds.

Period of Warning nds.
At that time the period Of warning for
neutrals, giving them opportunity TO ad-
wise their nationals not to travel on
armed mercha ntmen. will expire For
several days there has been more than
a possibility that Germany at the last
moment might make proposal that she
would discontinue practices OF reprisal
and sink no merchant ships-freighters

was thought England might accept this
proposal or that the United States and
other neutrals would be convinced. if
England refused, that she had no :nten-
ton Of disseminating the use of arma-
ment for offensive purposes.
Changed by Stone Letter.
This might possibly have given Presi-
dent Wilson proof that armament on
merchantmen was not used purely for
defense. and thus enable the President to
reconcile the two conflicting viewpoints
regarding the improperly of merchant
men carrying armament and the impos-
sibility of the United States altering the
est a hlisheu law of nations.

emily convinced Germany's leading
statesmen that no assistance wds to

REGARDING rules Of submarine. warfare
and that it was useless to make pro-
posals the only result OF which would
be to give England more time to re-
plenish her stores while discussion
was in progress at washington and
London. At least two OF the highest
officials directly concerned appear to
be now convinced that washington mas
no desire to embarrass Great brltaln
in the conduct of the war or to do any
thing which might permit Germany to
use the submarine in warfare against
commerce.
Expect Sensational Opening.
Newspapers and the German public
generally are primed for spectacular

newspaper article or contribution to

Such, at least, appears to be the hope
of the leading German statesmen. They

Warning Not Expected.
1t is not believed that Americans will
be warned from travelling on armed
merchantmen or that adequate meas
ures will be taken to see that arma-
ment is used only for defensive pur-
poses. German statesmen apparently
hope that by the exercise of a certain
amount of circumspection matters may
drift along for time without conflict.
that Americans of their own accord
will avoid steamships belonging to
bell1serents. and that in such incidents
as do occur it may be possible for Ger
many to prove that the ships in uues-
tion violated rules of warfare and acted
offensively.
Further than this their hopes do not
extend.

Would Destroy All Ships.
Either Armed or Unarmed,
Carrying Food to England

BERLIN, February IS, via London
fehriaf: t.-Ge"fs BERNHARD, in a
leading article in the Eossische Zei-
tung, calls for the destruction of all
ships bound for England. whether
by Portugal of German ships. which he
says probably will be used under the
Portuguese flag to carry foodstuffs to
England.
The writer fears also that many Ger
man ships now lying in South Ameri
can harbors may eventually be en-
ployed for the same purpose, and asks:
Only Permissible Reprisal.
Shall we then let these ships quietly
pass which as unarmed English mer-
chantmen cross the ocean? We shall
have to do so if we hold to the phantom
of torpedoing only armed merchant
men and of sparing neutral ships in
all circumstances"
Herr Bernhard thinks that war should
be carried out not against certain
categories of British ships. but against
British commerce on the seas. and de-
clares that the new submarine cam
paign is the only permissible measure
of reprisal against England's breach
of international law"
If this does not accomplish the OBJ
ject, which is to prevent the provision
ing of England. he adds "a dea athblow
can be dealt England only if we di-
rect request to all neutral states to
be kind enough to keep out of English
coastal waters for a specified time,
since, otherwise. we cannot assume re-
sponsiblity for their ship losses
The leading German statesmen Herr
Bernhard continues. must soon deter
mine whether to take this course, and
he adds: 1t is not without risk. but
the greatest risk would be neglected
opportunity. Moreover. the risk per-
haps is smaller. since the American
Congress shows signs of demanding
that the decision in International af-
fairs be taken from the President 8
hands and placed in those of Congress.

Agency.
Armament of merchantmen was in
troduced and sanctioned under intern.
tional law during the times when tho
high seas were infested with priva teers
and when. during time OF war. sbins
were furnished with letters of maroue
in order to attack merchantmen of tho
enemy.
president Thomas Jefferson exnress-
ly stated that the admission of armed
merchantmen under the same bonds as
non armed peaceful trading ships wa
based on the fact that they we're
obliged to defend themselves against
privateers.
Privateering Stamped Out.
'Privateering. however, has been
stamped out on the high seas for a
long time. Great Britain played a
prominent part in driving robbers from
the seas The Paris declaration of 1856
abolished the institution of letters of
marque, thus removing every other
reason which had been given for the
arming of peaceful trading ships.
Under the present ,circum stances
therefore, the reasons on account of
which armed merchantmen were ad
mitted on the same basis as peaceful
trading ships exist no longer. Fur
thermore. it is recognized principle
of International law that when the
reason for the existence of a law ceases
the law itself is abolished. In the
present case this means that the nom

A Bale For Christmas.

Two years ago there was heard all over the land the pleading cry of Buy bale." Now, why not proclaim a new order, Save a bale?' The banks in our cities have adopted a plan of opening a system of Christmas boxes" to which thousands of city peo- pie have made small deposits. Now, why not get thousands of cotton farmers to decide this week to Save a bale for Christ mas?' It would hold off the market thousands of bales and thus help the price, and buyers would naturally want to pay all the market would justify for this Christmas Cotton." It would let farmers have cash for the Christmas needs and a nest egg' for a January bank deposit. This cotton could be marketed any time during the week begin hing December IS. Talk this movement to Save a bale for Christmas?"

IMPRISONED.

Beyond these narrow hills, when twi-
light comes
To shut me in, my dreams go
speeding far
To where on cleaning streets the
traffic huns,
When song and music, life and
laughter are.
I hear like organ tones that massive
rise
The diapason of city ways;
Whose echoes reach the farthest nook
of skies
Beneath whose suns men toll I'M
guerdoned days.
Fain would my feet haste on to seek
the goal
Whose light has touched my dark
ness with its CLEANS,
But, as cross does press a pinioned
soul,
I live my life, my only joy-ny
dreamsl
Sweet is the ministry of twilight's
peace
Here where the city's thunder
harshly beats,
Where blatant warning, steel and
stone release
Hoarse tunes, meet for DEVILS
dance, where streets
Are cold to springs soft wooing, now
and then
I hear, like low, angelic music,
songs
Of brooks in meadows far and rocky
glen,
Where mid wild roses group the
fairy throngs.
I look beyond the city's sky-thrust
heights
That shut me in, and visions l can
Of dawns rose-sweet, bright moons
and hushed nights
The solaces of my captivity!

CAPIAS SERVED ON
CENTURY RESIDENT
LAWRENCE Bolts, FOR WHOM
A WARRANT HAD BEEN OUT
STANDING FOR SOME TINE, IS
UNDER ARREST.

Lawrence Bolts, white, a resident
of Century, and for whom there has
been outstanding a warrant, charging
him with selling whiskey without a
license, was arrested Tuesday and
gave bond for his appearance at the
Forthcoming term of the court of rec
ord. He had no trouble in making
bond.
The warrant for the arrest of Bolts
appeared to have been issued some
time ago, but, on account of the de-
PENDANT named being across the Ala
bama line almost as much as he was
in Florida, it had been unserved, and
at the later term of the court of rec
ord a capias was ordered for his ar
rest.
People of Century always endeavor
as much as possible to discourage the
peddling of liquor in that vicinity,

The close vote in the primary of
June 9th between the two leading
candidates for governor recalls the
election of 1876 the particulars of
which are obtained by the Democrat
from Green's School History of Flor

Marcellus L. Stevens was the nomi-

The board canvassed the returns
and found 24,325 for Stevens and
24.282 for Drew, majority of forty

and a number of precincts thrown
out. Attorney General w. A. Cooke
protested against throwing out the
returns and carried his contention

DEATH OF MISS
SIISIE HARGIS.

Seldom has the death of any one
been more deeply regretted than that
of Miss Susie Hargis, daughter of
Mrs. MERGED Hargis, which occurred
yesterday, after an illness of a few
days. Miss Hargis was that rare
type of young womanhood whose
very daily living is an example and
an inspiration to others, and not
only her family and those closest to
her, but many who came in contact
with her in only casual way, will
learn of her death with pang of
SORROW that one so gentle and so wo-
manly should have been taken.
