OFFERS TO
LEAVE TOWN
FOR MONEY
White Man ASKS Negro for 81. as Price
Of Setting Out and Not Appearing
Against Prisoners

]. w. McCarty, who was recently
robbed and on whose statement two
white painters and one negro are now
in jail awaiting trial in the district
court on the charge of highway rob
berry, is now in trouble over the af-
fair.
From the evidence submitted to the
city court at his trial it appears that
McCarty was ready to leave town and
sought to profit by his connection with
the robbery case. He approached Jim
Hunt, d negro who runs a barbecued
meat stand ON Two street, and told
him that he was willing to leave town
for SIS and not appear against the pris-
oners. Hunt told him he had no in
terest in the case McCarty insisted
that Hunt should be interested in or
der to render aid to the negro prisoner.
Hunt still refused and then MeCarty
is said to have agreed to leave town
for two dollars. Hunt asked him to
return at o'clock for his answer. The
negro then consulted the city officers
and upon their advice prepared q writ
ten receipt for the money, stating its
purpose, and this, McCarty, in order to
make two dollars, signed. He was i'm
,,,o,4;otat1y n1aepd under afrpef and
charged with receiving a bribe and
with compounding a felony. Mayor
Coffman fined him s25 and in default
of the cash he went to the city jail

President Wilson Warned that Severance
Of Diplomatic Relations With Germany
Would Precipitate HOstiIities
FAILURE or PEACE
MOVE is MENACE
If Consistent in Policy Toward Germany
This Country Will Find It Difficult
TO Keep Out of War
By United Press.

BY United Press.
Washington, Dec. 30--The idea Of a
break With Germany over submarine
warfare will, according to administra-
tion views, constitute a club, forcing
Gremany to present a better working
basis for peace than she has yet given.
The thought Of coming break, If
peace negotiations fail, is making Pres
ident Wilson donbly anxious to keep
up his work.
AS outlined by leading official, the
situation has simmered down to a
point where peace negotiations must
continue or this countdy. if consistent
in its policy toward Germany, will be
forced to break with the Teutonic al
lies. No one wants war but the presi-
dent has been told that war would re-
suit if this country should sever dip
lomatic relations with Germany.
The outlook for the immediate sue
cess Of the presidents peace undertake
ing is admitted to be somewhat du-
bious but absolute confidence is felt
that two or three months will see the
breaking Of the dawn"

Community Life.

Do Americans truly realize the re-
markable social and economic chang
es now taking place through the
agency of the small-town and rural
schools? Prof. James once declar-
ed that most people are old fogies
at 25, that they have gained at this
age hard-set notions and a safe
means of making a livelihood, and
that they henceforth travel in COM
Portable rut. There is undoubtedly
a marked tendency among American
rural teachers to avoid such a con-
dition; they are realizing that the
teacher who never does more than
he is paid for never is paid for more
than he does. They are realizing
that the day is gone when the school
house was intended simply for chill
dren; they are seeing to it that the
building is fast becoming the most
important center in the community.
Consider for a few minutes some
facts about the practical results of
rural and small-town educational eff
forts in America.
Apparently the back-to-the-soil
movement has had its day. There is
in all probability large enough
proportion of the American people
now engaged in producing food from
the earth-if they only knew how to
do it efficiently. The next great
economic movement in America will
probably be the countrifying of in
dustries. Unnoticed, this movement
has really been going on for sew
eral years. Large cotton factories
have sprung up near the cotton fields;
paper mills are steadily moving to-
ward the forests; tobacco factories
are less and less in the cities, and
more and more near the source OF
raw material. The tendency to move
away from crowded centers OF popu-
lation, with their congested apart
ment life, to the country towns and
small towns where the laborer. and
his family may have cheap breath
ing space-in other words, this coun-
trifying of industries-is growing
more and more evident. Uncon-
sciously, perhaps, the rural and
town school has been preparing for
some time for this change through
the vitalizing of community life,
through the infusion of genuine hui
man interest into the existence OF
country and town. In short, the
school teachers are making rural life
as varied and as interesting as city
life.-From 1.-THE Country Schools
Re-Birth," by Carl Holiday in the
American Review of Reviews.

Il. ST. JOHN GAFFNEY DECLARES
WHITE HOUSE - VICIOUSLY
PRO-BRITISH.

New York, Aug. BOT. st. John
Carney, former United States con-
sui general at Munich, Germany, who
was recalled several months ago by
President Wilson for his alleged un-
neutral utterances, on his arrival here
today denounced the American diplo-
matte service as pro-British.
When the Frederick VIII reached
Kirkwell on the trip to New York
the British officers gave Gaffney a
thorough looking over. inspecting his
person and his personal belongings.
lie asserted that they took his pri-
vate address book and two 500
bonds of the Wisconsin Edison Com
pany and violated his rights as an
American citizen. He intends to file
a strong protest with the United
States Government.
81 would like to pull down the
British flag in America" said Gaff-
ney, when he arrived. That he had
ever stated. as reported. that he
would like to see the German flag
over the Capitol at Washington was
denied by Gaffney.

would like to see the German flag
flying over the White House. What
| said was that | would like to help
haul down the English flag from the
White House. The atmosphere of the
White House is viciously pro-British.
Wilson reads the London Times and
the Post and would rather believe
what they say than the truth"
Because of Gaffney's outspoken-
ness in airing his sympathies num-
erous sharp tilts between him and
other passengers occurred on the
trip.
John G. Simon, who is connected
with Rice & Hutchins, shoe con-
Germ of Boston. asserts that he heard
Gaffney, in the smoking room of the
Frederick VIII, about two days out
from Kirkwell, say: 81 wish l were
the man that shot the torpedo into
the Lusitania." Others tacitly adj
mitted that they heard the remark,
