Ell Paso, Jan. 17.-Victor Hamil-
ton, of Chicago, and Albert Simmons
of Los Angeles, two American citi-
zens, were murdered at Pedriceni,
Mexico, by Villa bandits, according
to dispatch from Juarez this after
noon.
The report of the killing of the
two Americans came from the Car
rama military officials at Juarez.
They declared that Simmons and
Hamilton had been killed by bandits
under the leadership of the Arreta
brothers.
The men were mining prospectors
The Carranza officials said that as
far as they have been able to learn
the two Americans were killed with.
out chance to get out of the coun.
try and that the murders were com.
mitted simply because the men were
Americans and subjects of the Wilson
Administration, which is supporting
the Carranza government.
The report of the assassination Of
the Americans reached the Carranzs
headquarters at Juarez shortly be-
fore 2 p. M, today. Pedriceni, the
place where the Americans were kill
ed, is 60 miles west of Torreon.

LANSING OFFERS PLEA
FOR NEUTRAL NATIONS

Washington, Jan. 16.-A study OF
neutral rights and duties with view
to reversing the traditional processes
of defining neutrality which have
given all the advantages to the belllg-
erents and have shown little regard
for the rights of neutrals" was sug-
gested by Secretary Lansing as one
of the first duties of the newly form
ed American Institute of Internation-
al Law in a letter sent by the secre-
tary to DR.. James Brown Scott, presi-
dent of the institute. Mr.. Lansing
is one of the five United States mem
bers of the institute which was organ
lied during the Pan-American Scien.
tifc congress here, and in which all
the American republics are represen-
ted. His letter said:
cat the first meeting of the instl-
tute / had the honor to direct atten-
ton to the imperfect code of rules
which defines and governs the rela-
tions between belligerents and peu-
trails. These rules, which have grown
up during the past 125 years and
have been in some cases differently
interpreted by courts of different
countries, have been frequently
found inadequate to meet new con-
ditions of warfare, and as a result
every war has changed, modified or
added to the rules, generally through
the process of judicial decisions.
"The prize courts of belllgerents
have thus become the interpreters of
belligerent rights and neutral obliga-
tions, and the interpretations evi-
dence an unconscious prejudice aris-
ing from over appreciation of the
needs of the belligerent. Writers on
international law have relied upon
these prize court decisions in dealing
with the subject of neutrality SO
that they have laid down rules for
mulated indirectly from belligerent
point of view. Thus judicial decis.
ions, text writers and international
agreements have given all the ad-
vantages to the belligerents and have
shown little regard for the rights Of
neutrals.
'It would appear that it is time
to reverse this treatment and to deal
with it from the point of view of the
neutral. I would therefore suggest
that committee be appointed to
study neutral rights and neutral du-
ties, seeking to formulate in terms
the principle underlying the relations
! of belligerency to neutrality rather
than the express rules governing the
conduct of nation at war to ma.
ton at peace.
"In view of the past year and q
half of war, the present time seems
particularly opportune to study this
question and this institute being com,
posed of members from neutral ma
tions is especially fitted to do this
from the proper point of view and
with the definite purpose of protect
! ing the liberty of neutrals from un'
justifiable restrictions on the high
seas and from the imposition of need
less burdens in preserving their neu'
trality on land"

COTTON GROWERS
LACK FERTILIZER
SENATOR SMITH INTRODUCES
RESOLUTION TO GATHER
DATA.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Senator
Smith, of South Carolina today IN
troduccd in the senate resolution,
whick was adopted, calling upon the
secretary of agriculture to gather
data and submit it to the senate re-
iative to the fertilizer situation, par
ticulsrly with reference to potash.
Senator Smith yesterday sent to
the commissioners of agriculture
throughout the South the following
inquiry:
What in your opinion will be the
effect on the yield of cotton per acre
in your State if the present fertilizer
situation is not improved, especially
as to potash?"
From each he received replies to
the effect that the reduction in yield
per acre would be anywhere from 5
to so per cent.
In discussing the purport of the
resolution, Senator Smith said:
The prospects for another year,
especially as to cotton, are that
nothing like normal yield, possibly
a 80 or 40 per cent reduction, will
be the result if the present fertilizer
situation is not relieved. Germany
has a monopoly of the production of
potash; Chile a practical monopoly
of the concentrated nitrates. On ac-
count of the war situation it will be
impracticable to obtain potash from
Germany. The prices of the nitrates,
presumably on account of the in
creased demand for these ingredients
in war munitions, have risen to where
they are totally impracticable for fer
tilizer purposes. Phosphoric acid
for some reason, has also risen in
price. These three ingredients, viz,
nitrate of ammonia, phosphoric acid
and potash are absolutely essential in
the production of cotton in all of the
South Atlantic States where cotton is
produced, particularly in all of the
coastal plains of North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and
eastern Alabama.
eff anything like an average yield
Is to be had it must necessarily be at
an enormous increase of cotton acre.
age would mean a decrease of grain
forage and the foodstuffs crops. Ar
increase in cotton acreage without
proper fertilization means an almost
prohibitive increase in the expense OF
producing this crop. The cost of cul
tivation, including labor and live
stock, would make this cost so high
that even at the present prices there
could be no profit.
"Therefore, from the present out
look for fertilizers, the prospect fol-
the yield of cotton next year is the
poorest that has confronted the
South since the War of Secession"

GRANTED
UNCONDITIONAL PEACE

London, Jan. 17.-Beset on the
east, west and north by the Austrians
and with all lines Of retreat severed,
except into Albania where hostile
tribesmen must be faced, the little
kingdom of Montenegro has asked
and received of Austria uncondition-
al peace. This announcement was
made in the Austrian parliament to-
day, according to semi-official advices
from Berlin.
This, if true, is the first withdrawal
of any bclligerent from either of the
alliances which have been fighting
since August, 1914. That Montenegro
is seeking peace, however, is not
confirmed from Entente sources, and
from Switzerland comes to report
that Austria offered peace terms but
Montenegro refused them. For days
however, the plight of the Montene-
grins has been desperate with their
capital and many cities taken and
their army exhausted.

TWO CANDIDATES ENTER
FIELD FOR M'LAURIN'S PLACE

Columbia. Jan. 1.-THE election
of state warehouse commissioner is
beginning to attract attention and
promises to be the one election to be
filed at this session which will cause
any show of politics. John L. Nc
Laurin, former United States sena-
tor, who is now filling the position is
a candidate for reelection and he is
opposed by F. M. Cary, of Oconee,
formerly a member of the house OF
representatives, and John j. McMa-
han, of Columbia, a member of the
present Richland delegation.
The friends of Senator McLaurin
feel that he should be given another
term but this the friends of those op-
posing him say there is nothing IN
that. They say it is a position which
others can fill and they have a per-
feet right to offer.
It is understood that the position
which Senator McLaurin takes is
that he has done the best he could
for the system under the act and that
his record justifies reelection for an
other term and he will not make a
canvass for the place or pull any
wires to win out.
The managers of all the ware
houses in the state system have been
called to meet in Columbia on Tues
day at noon in the state warehouse
The meeting is expected to be attend
ed bv about 200 from all parts of the
state and there is considerable inter
est taken in the gathering.
