CHARLOTTE, N. C.. May 90
"Untainted Americanism" was Presf-
dent Wilson's answering cry today
to Theodore Roosevelt's insistent do
mand for "Americanism."
Speaking to tremendous crowd
gathered here to celebrate the one
hundred and forty-first anniversary
of the signing Of the Mecklenburg
declaration Of Independence. 10
sprung bis phrase araid ,vccifey6us

What kind of a FIRE are you going
to keep burning under the melting
pot OF America to turn out untaint-
ed Americanism?" he asked Of the
descendants of the Irjsh-American
patriots who signed declaration q
independence more than year be-
fore that signed by the American
colonies In 1776.
Mayor Kirkpatrick, despite ap-
peals from the crowd TO sit down.
occupied 90 minutes introducing
Gov Craig. of North Carolina, who
presented the president. The presi-
dent was cheered for five minutes.
If do not know whether can i'm
terpret the spirit of the occasion"
he said. But it is necessary for VI

Ee wish to celebrate.
There were only 3.000,0 900 people
IN the United States when the
Mccke nburg declaration was made:
now there are over a hundred MIL
lion But the same elements were
present then that are present now.
The United States always has been
in process of being made and there
always have been the same ele-
ments--a high and handsome pas
sion for human liberty.
"This country has devoted prac-
tically all OF it's attention In past

| Paris. Jan. 31.-The Paris newspapers

ent OF the Milan Seeolo, in which the

they are gaining now, while Germany is

No fewer than 100000 men came for

and for the mines. About 100000 men

''Do not be under any misapprehen-

ed as saying; "Great Britain is deter

may make mistakes, but we never give |

all, it begins to look as if the sudden

in its development as a national sport

country. The presence of noted pro-

revelation of the possibilities of the

BANDIT RAIDS RENEWED.
Oil Camps Reported Looted in Vicinity
of Tuxpam.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 3l.-Renewal
of bandit raids about Tuxpam, Mex, a
vicinity in which large American and
British oil properties are located, was
reported in state department dispatches
Saturday. 1t was said some oil camps
had been looted, but that property dam
age had been comparatively small and no
foreigners had lost their lives.
The departments meager adyices said
that General Nafarette, commandant of
the district, had assured consular agents
he was making an active campaign
against the bandits, and that the de faeto
government troops soon would be in com
plete control of the entire oil country.

The Truth About Antwerp.

The question of Antwerp is far too
serious a one to convert it into con-
troversy about personal responsibilities
and regulations. The fact has been
stated, and can be established by docu-
mentary proof, that long before the
war the position of the fortress was
compromised and undermined by sub
servience to Holland That carried with
it as a consequence the abandonment of
all idea of sending succour to Antwerp
| by water. But the mischief was not re-
stricted to the question of the defense
iof Antwerp. 1t extended TO the whole
lproblem of British intervention by land
| in support of Belgium. On the outbreak
of the war the British government had
to go elsewhere to land its armies, and
the consequence was that two months
elapsed before the junction of the Bel
gian army with that of the British was
effected in the last little corner of Bel
gian soil to escape the tread of the in.
vaders. The Belgians at least had ex
pected it to take place on the Gette by
the middle of August.
Whether for good or i'll the closing of
the Scheldt, for that is what the tacit
concession of Dutch claims implied, al
tered the whole character of the war
from the British point of view. The
deep water route open to ships of the
largest tonnage not merely to Antwerp
ITSELF but thereby reducing the distance
from the channel to the German from
tier by one half, was thus placed out
side bounds. The British government
went into the war with one of its hands !
tied behind its back But it will be OBJ |
jectcd that we could not have used the |
Scheldt without offending the Dutch. |
The Scheldt question neglected in 1910
IL will have to be regulated after the |
war is over; the Dutch people are far
too prudent to take action that would |
entail its being regulated TO their dis

vision the Dutch did oppose our steam

London, Jan. 3l.--The Germans Satur
day evening raided Paris with their Yep
pelins, dropping bombs which injured
number of people, according to reports
from the French capital.
A dispatch from Paris at $500 Satur-
day night said: paris has just been
completely darkened in anticipation of a
Zeppelin raid. Fire engines and squads
of trumpeters are going through the city
sounding the alarm. Searchlights also
are in operation and the noise of aero
planes is heard in several directions, but
as yet the sound of but two shots has
been heard. Ii is uncertain whether the
shots came from approaching Zeppelins
or were those of anti-aircraft guns"
A dispatch from Paris at 1850 Sun
day morning said: "a Zeppelin was
heard over Paris at $500 o'clock and
shortly afterward two bombs were
dropped, injuring 10 persons"
A dispatch TO Reuters telegram com-
pany from Paris stated that Zeppelin
dropped bombs on Paris at 10 o'clock

that there were some victims and dam

1t has been learned that about doz-
en- bombs were dropped in all, killing 10
persons and wounding 80.
