Let the TRUTH PreVai1g
Where u. S. Stands

"All's fair i'm war; is the maxim that moves the
countries in conflict to tear up the laws of nations
and humanity.
But when the world gets back to normal what
shall be said of the United States the greatest neu-
trial. the peaceful bystander if it also throws to the
wind all that civilization has built up by consenting
to such violations?
1t is our task to keep sembance of santay alive
in the world while the countries of Europe are in
bedlam. Thus President Wilson refuses to stand for
the violations of international law and humanity at
lsea.
We will not permit the blowing up Of ARMED OR
UNARNIED MERCHANTMEN, without due warn
ing and the removal of passengers, because that is
against humanity and international law, as it Was
before the war started-before part of the world
went staring, stark crazy.
We will not even warn our countrymen against
taking passage on merchantmen, armed or I'M
armed because that would be marked recognition OF
the unreasonng, irrational assumption that one ma
ton can change rules made by all at it's own sweet
will
THIS Is THE POLICY OF THE UNITED
STATES GOVERNMENT. WE ARE TAKING
THIS STAND BECAUSE FOR ONE REASON
WE KNOW GERMANY WOULD HAVE AP
PROVED 1T BEFORE THIS WAR; WE KNOW
SHE WILL APPROVE IT'S PRINCIPLE AFTER
THE WAR.
Imagine an international conference in peace times
passing rule permitting any government to change
the laws of nations during war, permitting any
group of officehoders illegally and ruthlesslyto kill
innocents at sea in any frenzy suggests! Ger
many at peace would itself be the fercest opponent
of such mad proposition. -
International law is not dead because all the coun
tries at war have violated it any more than the law
against murder is dead in the United States because
$500 people were murdered in this country in 1915
International law can only be killed by the neu-
trals-but the countries at peace becoming accom-
plces in its assassination.

COUNTY SEAT
CASE is RESET

The Hampstead county seat
election case was called up for
trial in Circuit Court last Monday
by Judge Evans of Benton, spec
ial Judge, and the contestants, as
formerly, announced ready for
trial, but the contestees again
were not ready, stating that the
illness of the stenographer had
made it impossible to have the
transcribing of the evidence com
pleted.
The case had previously been
set over from October 80 to ena-
bic the contestees to get ready
for trial, so the contestants in
sisted on a trial, but the court
ordered that contestees be given
until the first of March, and NO
longer, to get their case ready
for trial contestees being barred
from introducing any evidence
not transcribed and filed by that
time. The case was set down
for hearing on the first Monday
in April, which will be the first
day of the April term of the
Hampstead Circuit Court.
In asking for a continuance the
contestees presented aletterfrom
Mr.. Handy, the stenographer,
and also a physicians certificate
as to his illness

COUNTY RICH IN
ANCIENT RELICS

Hampstead county is proving
to he one of the richest counties
in the state, and perhaps in the
United States, in relics of the
mound builders. A number of
men from New York have been at
work on group of mounds thI2e
miles east Of Washington for sew
eral months, and they have been
wonderfully successful in un-
earthing relicsof this prehistoric
race of people of whom practically
nothing is known. Knives of flint
stone, arrow heads, axes, fancy
pipes, we'll preserved pottery and
many other articles of interest
have been unearthed by the
searchers. There are many of
the mounds in the vicinity yet un-
touched andnumerous other finds
will likely be made.
The mound diggers are en-
ployed by New York City mu-
scum and the curios found are
shipped there each Monday.

While in other departments of dress
extremes of style and more or less
eccentric fashions present them
selves, the tailored costumer is con-
sentative. The tailor In his work
seems to cling to happy medium, a
middle-of-the-road course. He takes
cognizance of the latest ideas as to
form and outline. but refuses to be
beguiled by the extravaganza of crino-
line effects and a tendency to over
trimming.
The cleverest tailors are showing
both two and three-piece suits that are
very conservative. The models sent
over by French tailors depend upon
cleverness of cut, correctness of lines,
and perfection of workmanship for
distinction. Perfect fit and finish con-
tribute to their fine effect. They ig-
more business.
American women are very partial
to navy blue-"the gentlewoman's
color" as the French term it. There

two gables and is finished In stucco.
A small sun parlor is built off the liv-
ing room and is covered by separate
gable. The maximum width of the
house is increased to 80 feet by the
five-foot extension on the side that
makes it possible to have large and
well-lighted dining room without much
additional cost. This extension is COW
cred by another gable.
This dining room shows the advisa-
bility of building room in an extern
sion when it is considered necessary
or desirable to have more light. A
very CHEEKY and bright room can be
secured by having windows on three
sides, as is done in this instance. The
beamed ceiling fits in well with the
lighting arrangement.
A heavy front porch adds distinc-
tive touch to nearly any house, and
especially If the house is built along
bungalow lines. Heavy porch pillars
and low roof combine to give very
coy appearance, as can be seen in
this case. Flower boxes placed around
