DESTROY ALL SHIPS
FOR ENGLAND
SUCH is THE DEMAND MADE BY
GEORGE BERNHARD IN A
BERLIN PAPER.

BERLIN, via London, Feb. 29.-
Bernard, in leading article in the
Vossische Zeitung, calls for the de-
struction of all ships bound for Eng
land, whether armed or not. He
points to the seizure 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
German ships now lying in South
American harbors may ventually be
employed for the same purpose, and
asks:
Shall we then let these ships
quietly pass, which, as unarmed Eng
lish merchantmen, cross the ocean?
We shall have to do so if we hold to
the phantom of torpedoing only armed
merchantmen and of sparing neutral
ships in all circumstances"
Herr Bernhard thinks that war
should be carried out not against GER
tain categories Of British ships, but
against British commerce on the seas,
and declares that the new submarine
campaign is the only permissible
measure Of reprisal against England
breach of international law"

A man was walking along the street

rushed across the way and rang the

The man began dancing up and

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Feb 25.-
Gov. Hoopers epistle to the republi-
cans, published Thursday morning, in
which he fired a few broadsides at
Mayor Jesse NJ Littleton, connecting
him with a "New Dreibund" in repub-
lican politics, composed of Sells, Aus
tin and iLttleton, and criticising the
recent Hamilton county republican
convention as a meeting controlled by
the liquor element, brought forth Wig
orous retorts from such local leaders
in the new republican movement as
Mayor Littleton, Foster V. Brown and
H. Clay Evans.
Mayor Littleton characterized the
Hooper statement as a result Of dose
of "Peck's pink pills for pale people"
and stated that having seen the hopes
he had builded for himself and ex-
Senator Sanders of controlling the
party, fade away, the ex-governor had
pulled out the old ghost on which he
had twice ridden to victory, the IL
ouor question, to brighten republicans
back under the wings of himself and
Senator Sanders"

TO get into the new combination, but

Henry WALL ACE
DIE SUDDENLY
END COMES TO FAMOUS IOWA
EDITOR AND LEADER IN I'M
PROVED COUNTRY LIFE,

PROVED COUNTRY LIFE.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 2S.-Hen-
'ry Wallace, editor of Wallace's Farm
er, and one Of the leaders in progress
sive agriculture in the country and in
particular in Iowa and the west, died
very suddenly while participating in
laymen's missionary meeting at Des
Moines. This aged and striking figure
in country life was native of Penn
sylvania and went to the Hawkeye
state as young man to expound the
gospel of the church, but i'll health
overlook him and he engaged in farm
ing.
In 1895. with three sons, he estab.
lished Wallace's Farmer, and it has
always been one of the ablest publ
cations devoted to farming in the coun-
try. Its circulation now reaches to
all states In the union, and 1t was
also in sense the particular journal
istic representative of that great live
stock and agricultural center In the
west around Iowa.
Henry Wallace, in addition to earn
est efforts to advance farming to great
er profit, was always in the forefront
of the fight to improve country life In
all ways. He was a leader in many
of the reforms which have improved
conditions on the farm. President
Roosevelt selected him for a member
of the commission on country life, and
he was active in the work Of that
commission. The great paper which
bears his name is a monument to the
Pennsylvania who first taught the
gospel of Christianity and then taught
the gospel of better country life In
America. At the time Of his death
Henry Wallace was 80 years old.

Gems of the county will also be mem

4 of the school here, or rather by some
advocates of other places that the

To sit drinking little cups OF thick
Turkish coffee and having his boots
cleaned at the same time is the
Greeks ideal of pleasant after

usually of tender age, is true ar

with the dull FURNISH that satisfies

When he has brushed this to a
bright polish you imagine that your
shine is over, but it has really only
begun, for the "lustros" now goes
on to bring out the high lights by
smearing your boot over with a
colorless cream, which he brushes
again to great brillance, and finishes
off by two or three minutes friction
with a velvet cloth. He completes
his work by painting the edge of sole

For all this you pay the lustros ten

with self-conscious feeling that

in the next few days as was peace on
the Oscar II, when Henry Ford and

wasn't feather left on the poor dove,
and if the bird isn't already dead, 1t
probably will be before the first dis
triet fight to begin with tonight con-
ference in Morristown. is ended.
A conference OF first district lead
ers who are friends of Governor
Hooper, will be held at Morristown
tonight to organize for the district
convention to be held at Greeneville,
March Is, and for the county conven-
tions to be held March IL. At some
of these conventions, also, delegates
will be selected to the state conven-
ton in Nashville. Governor Hooper
will be at that conference, as will
many of his staunchest supporters
from all parts of the district. And
while it is to be primarily at First
district conference, there will be a
few from the Second district, for this
isn't going to be any one-district af
, fair, but it is to be made statewide
and will be carried to the Nashville
convention, and it may even 60 to the
national convention, as Tennessee re
publican fights have been known tc
do in days gone by.
