treaty involving Germany was VIC

treaty involving Germany was vio-
lated and even now Italy is not at
war with thatcountry, but Germa-
ny could have said the word and
prevented Austria from going to
war against the small country of
Serbia, for Austria alone would not
have dared to take the step it did
in the unfair demands made Of Ser
bia because Of the murder Of the
Archduke Ferdinand by a Serbian
student. The overwhelming senti-
ment in this country is for the sue
cess of the Entente Allies nor would
our people be willing right now to
any sort of peace pact which would
leave Germany an arrogant bully to
dominate the world. William, EN-
peror Of Germany, is the combined,
Carranza and Villa of Europe and
the sooner he is "hors du combat
the better it will be for Europe in
particular and the world in general.

The German government informs
United States Ambassador Gerard
that it knows nothing officially Of
the sinking of the British horseship,

mel steamer, Sussex, both Of which
were carrying American citizens

the latter damaged by submarines
said to be German, Even if Ger
many finally admits the act and
Furnishes the officers Of the subma-
rines, that will not change the fact
that the end sought was accomplish
ed-and the next German subma-
rine will sink the next shipat which
it may have the chance. We are
in favor Of mob law on the sea to
the extent that every submarine
shall be at once destroyed and those
in charge Of them treated as the
sneaks and assassins that they are.

be dealt to those operating the air.

The tearing down OF what is
known as the old IL" of the South
ern hotel and the breaking Of ground
mark the first steps in the construc-
ton of a $4,000 addition at this
well-known hostslry.
The improvements will consist Of
handsome palm court in the center
Of the building and the erection of
large number of rooms to be fit
ted with baths and all other modern
conveniences.
Manager R. L. Burgess has let the
main contract to F. L. Mcknight
and he has taken active charge Of
the work 1t will take several
months to complete the improve
ment. When this work is done the
hotel will be up .to-date in every
particular.
In addition to being quite an i'm
provement in that part Of the city
the work at this time will give en-
ployment to a large number Of men

Unless the explanation is to be
found in the TenneSseean and Amer
lean it is hard to understand why
the Democratic convention of the
county Of Davidson you'd instruct
for Hilary Howse for delegate to the
Netional Democratic convention at
ST. Louis. Howse is the down-and-
out, disgraced and discredited offici-
RI who went out of the mayoralty
Of Nashville, propelled by the toe of
the laws boot hence, we are very
much disposed to have an idea of
THE KIND OF CATTLE that made
up the voting strength of the David
son county convention. The posi-
bic explanation in the Tennessean
and American referred to is found
in the statement in last Sundays is
sue, that The business of the coun-
ty convention held Saturday at
noon; at the courthouse, was dis
patched in SHOT order" Il NAV
be that enough Of the doggeries fos-
tered and protected by Ho' wse as
Mayor were still open and conyen-
lent to the delegates SO that they
could attend in a "ha' .fshot'' condi-
ton and thus be enabled to dis
patch business in @shot" or at least
'halfshot' order. Some latter day
Democrats are even lower down in

Enough Of counties are holding
conventions and making no instruc-
tons to make possible something
unexpected in the State Democratic
convention on the 18th Of May. 1t
is generally expected, however, that
the principal opposition to Governor
Rye will appear in the November
election instead Of the party con-
vention. The Independent Demo-
crits Of Tennessee have done great
work in the matter Of political free
dom and release from the "yaller
dog partisanism of the past.

PrIcss Sill Climbing.

In every line comes the word that
prices are still climbing with no linn
it to the future possibilities. Anoth-
er advance on those drugs and
chemicals sold in drngstores is an
nounced. while the chemicals and
dyestuffs used in the manufacture
Of clothing, is putting the prices Of
the finished articles almost out OF
reach of those Of moderate means.
Foodstufis, notably meats, are on
the toboggan slide pointing upward
with not even the sky for the limit.
Shoes and clothing are now high
enough to justify the people in 90
Ing back to vse of homemade arti-
Giles if they just had the nerve to re-
turn to anything so primitive. BY
homemade we mean articles OF
clothing and footwear actually made,
however crude they may be, in the
homes, for there is no consolation to
be found in taking the materials to
a private workman instead of look
ing to the manufacturer.
People in country towns are flock
ing to the cities to purchase tn
nicer grades Of clothing and are be-
ing literally robbed by the prices
almost insolently asked by the
dealers there. What a pity it is
that these people are without
enough common sense and patriotic
pride to make them buy at home
or better still, do without unless
they are offered at least reasonable
prices.
The printers are getting square up
against condition that they can
see no way to successfully meet.
Papers formerly bought at what the
trade considered high prices, are
now hardly obtainable at an adj
vance often Of a hundred per cent.
land still the end is not in sight.
The last chapter Of this tale Of
woe is the fact that the great mail
order houses are literally cutting
the country Of money--and the

those he has accommodated in the
past and whose patronage he now
needs as never before.

Sll2 PROFIT MADE
ON EACH FORD CAR
Company Earned Net Profit Of $5S, ,OOO,-
900 in Twelve Months Just Ended.

Detroit. THE output of Ford cars
for 1916 is more than half million.
Ford hopes to produce 100000 cars
in 1917 and 100000 in 1918.
The gross sale Of Fords for the year
ending July 81, 1916, amounted to
$2O6,S67 ,347. Net earnings for the
period amounted to $5S, 100000, and
the profit on each car turned out was
about $112. This was in spite Of the
cut in price Of $50 per car.
The Ford company is capitalized at
100000. After paying sixty per
cent in dividends on stock, there re-
mained $5S,O0O,0OO for reinvestment
in the business. This brought the
total assets Of the company up to
$147 100000.
By the end Of another year one per-
son in every twenty-five will own
an automobile in the United States,
and Of the four million car owners,
half will possess Fords.

TOURISTS ARE VEXED
BY LAWS VARIANCE

Outfitting a car for touring now
adays to meet the requirements of
every state requires a lot Of study.
Where in the old days the tourist
had to study carefully speed laws to
avoid traps in all sections Of the
country, now abolished, it is now
necessary to study traffic rules of
each city and also equipment rules.
To cite instances of infractions of
the rules in cities would take too
much space, but in some cities bump
ers are required; in others mirror
scopes; in others DINNERS, and in
others bright light.
The tourist reaching some cities
will be called down again and again
for not outfitting with microscopes,
enabling him to see behind him, and
he will also be called for bright
lights. This calling more than likely
will result in fine.
l. Then in some cities it is required
that an automobile stop for street
car which is taking on passengers OF
letting them off, while in other cities
an eight-foot clearance is necessary
only.
The wisest thing for the motorist te
do is to watch the local driver anG
for time do just as he sees othe,
drivers do in that city. By doing this
he will escape trouble.
