Counter Our
Questions On
Sussex Affair

Berlin, April Ga fourth Ameri-
can inquiry was added today to
others awaiting reply at the Foreign
Office when the American embassy
requested information regarding the
steamer Eagle Point, recently sunk
off Queenstown, and asked whether
she was destroyed by German sub
marine.
The Foreign Office states that as
yet it has no information from the
Admiralty regarding the SUISSE, the
Englishman, the Manchester En-
gineer or the Eagle Point.
The Admiralt has countered the
question regarding the Sussex with
a request for more exact details on
the time, place and circumstances Of
the Sussex disaster. No supposition
or possible explanation covering the
case of the Sussex have been ad-
vanced in authoritative circles, either
at the Foreign Office or at the Ad-
miralty. Only one supposition is
heard in unofficial circles to count
for the incident in case it should
develop that a German submarine is
concerned, is that the Sussex in
build resembled transport or Il
cruiser.
Another possible explanation, fire.
Quently heard, is that the sinking of
the Sussex occurred in the region,
not only theoretically but actually, in
the zone of war operations, and on
the route used largely for the con-
veyance of troops.
Commenting on the American in
quiries on the torpedoing of the
steamers, Sussex and Englishman,
the Hamburger-Nachriht says:
"Who on earth cares in Germany
whether these ships We're torpedoed
by German submarines or not? They
belonged TO and were used by the
enemy and were destroyed. That is
all we care about at the moment

MILK STRIKE
is SERIOUS
Supply of Chicago Menaced by
Big Fight With Producers
Association.

Chicago, April 6.-Borden's Con-
densed Milk company today filed a
bill in the United States district court
asking for an injunction restraining
members of the Milk Producers asso-
citation from interfering with the COM
panys contract for the delivery OF
milk at various plants in the vicinity
Of Chicago. 4,a5 ..l.., q, - iss,.s,.s,..
The company in its bill States that
so percent Of its milk is obtained from,
2,420 dairymen, who are members of
the association, which has declared a
strike against Chicago milk dealers
who have refused to grant the de-
mand of an increase from Sl.33 1.3 to
$1.55 per cwt, for milk during the
summer months.
The petition states that members of
the association have committee acts
u violence at Hebron. Marengo. Sui
ton and Elgin, ILL.,, shipping stations,
and asks that the federal court re-
strain the dairymen from a repetition
of the act. The company declares it
has ben compelled to close more of its
bottling plants and is sustaining a
loss of $4,000 a day as a result Of the
milk strike.
Judge Lands will hear arguments
on the bill next Saturday morning.
Chicago is confronted by a serious
shortage in milk as a result of the
dairymen's strike. Today the big
dealers admitted they were getting
about half their usual amply and had
found it necessary to limit their de-
liveries to private families by cutting
off stores and ice cream manufacture
ers and others who buy in wholesale
quantities.

La Crosse, Wis, April 6.-With the
Mississippi river higher than during

Washington, April G.-Categorical
denial by Secretary Lansing late to-
day was the official answer to presist-

FEDERAL ARMY
Wins OUT IN
CLOSE VOTE
Noses Out National Guard as
First Line of Defense
Behind Regulars.
BIG VICTORY FOR
GARR1soN's PLANS
Efforts of the National Militia
Lobby to Force Recognition
Is Resented.

Washington, April G.--The Senate
retained the Federal volunteer pro-
vision in the army bill late today
by a vote of 36 to "a rejecting SEN
ator Lees amendment to strike the
section from the bill. The vote end
ed a four day debate on the section.
Advocates Of the National Guard
as the first line defense behind the
regular army, supported the admin
istration vigorously and the struggle
was one of the hardest fought in
this session of congress. 1t began
after the defeat of the military COM
mittee last week, when a proposal
to create a National Guard section
ten into the bill.
Narrow Margin.
The narrow margin by which the
Federal volunteer provision was re-
tanned makes it doubtful il it will be
in the measure finally framed by the
committee between the two Houses.
An effort during the debate on the
House army bill be insert this sec
tion which is designed to provide
such force as the continental army
was defeated.
Without republican support, the
volunteer section would have been
voted out by the democratic SEN
ators, despite the fact that it was
unanimously recommended by the
military committee. Twenty-four
democrats and ten republicans, in
Guiding nearly all the progressive re.
publicans voted to strike it out.
Nineteen democrats and seventeen
republicans voted to- retain it: II ~
Scores National Guard.
The vote followed charges that the
National Guard organization through.
out the country were conducting a
lobby against the volunteer plan.
Senator Chamberlain of the commit
tee warned the Senate that. if the
Natioanl Guard proposed to become
politically active and endeavor to in
fiuence legislation as it had done in
this case, he would in future oppose
any further Federal aid for the State
soldier.
Disintegrate Guard.
The struggle had little nearing on
ten general question of preparedness
beyond the fact that the advocates
of the volunteer plan asserted it was
vital to any scheme to back up the
regular army with citizen soldiers,
while opponents declared it would
serve only to disintegrate the Ma
tional Guard. All senators who
spoke on the subject declared in
favor of preparedness and many
urged even more liberal provisions
for the regular army and National
Guard than the bill makes.
Others urged that the volunteer
section be made stronger. The sec
tion under dispute provides for the
organization by Congressional dis
tricts of PSI, 900 Federal volunteers,
wholly under the control of the Pre-
sident and for their training in peace
time under such regulations as the
President may prescribe.
Training Camps. ...
1t was designed to provide for sum
mer training Camps, similar to those
held last year at Plattsburgh, N. Y,
and elsewhere, and also for the or.
ganization of volunteer army units in
country districts, where it's members
could spare time during the summer

Clover Rally.

On April the 9th was held at
Hodges, s. &C., under auspices of Coun-
ty Agent c. B. Faris, a clover rally,
and l feel that it will be helpful to
some of the Newberry county farmers
20 give short write up of what l
saw and learned at that meeting.
The meeting was held at the farm
OF Mr.. B. S. Hodges one of Green
woods most progressive farmers. Mr..
Hodges has learned the basic prin-
ciple of economic farming, that of
soil building by the use of winter
iegumes mostly.
According to Mr. Hodges own
statement, he bought very poor
farm and about 9 years ago COM
menced to grow crimson clover on
that farm. Of course he did meet
with very good success at first but he
had faith in clover and determined to
make it succeed.
By perseverance and good judg-
ment, he has succeeded possibly be-
yond his own expectations. He is now
growing clover successfully on prac-
tically his whole plantation, and his
soil has been changed from "poor" to
one of productivity.
Land, that produced to 6 hundred
pot1ds of seed cotton with an appli-
cation of 8 to 4 hundred pounds of
commercial fertilizer is now produc-
lug II to Is hundred pounds to the
acre without any fertilizer except a
light application of Is per cent acid
Last year, 1915, Mr.. Hodges pro-
duced on his farm, cotton, corn, hay,
grain, etc. at market prices, worth
between and thousand dollars,
and used only 10 tons of 16 per cent
acid that cost him $1,000, on the en-
tire farm.

RECALLS SURRENDER IN 1861
DR.. Diver Reminiscent of Capture at
WiIliamstOn BY a Detachment
of Yankee Troops.

The following from The Anderson
Mail will be of special interest tc
Confederate veterans of Newberry:
Monday was the 51st anniversary OF
DR.. R. F. DIVERS surrender.
1T occurred at o'clock in the af-
ternoon, remember it well-in fact,
II never will forget it," declared DR..
Diver today. 81 was a detailed SOL
dier of the Confederate government,
and was assigned the duty of hualing
supplies from Columbia to Green
vile. My engine was at Newberry
and early that morning we pulled
out Of .NeWberry with train OF fiat
cars. The cars were to be used in
hauling away of the machinery from
the shops of the Confederate govern
meat. The shops were located in
GreenEille, and We wanted to carry
them off before the Yankees arrived
and captured them.
"We were captured by detach-
ment of Yankees under Gen. S. P.
Brown. This detachment was in pur-
suit of Jefferson Davis. We saw Mr..
Davis and his cabinet cross the rail-
road at Hodges about y o'clock that
day. They were headed toward Alb
beyille court house. Our train reach
ed Williamson and there it was cap
tured by Gen. Brown and his men.
Everybody on the train except the
women and children were captured
Jack Lollis was my fireman, and
Marshall Zeigler was another en-
gineer on board. We three and about
25 Confederate soldiers, who had
been paroled: and who were On their
way home, were caused to surrender,
and were. brought to the Anderson
court house A little later the pas
senger train was captured"
Dr Diver says it has been a long
time ago-51 years-but the events
of that day are still fresh in his
mind.
