TAFT ASKS WILSON
TO ENTER PROTEST
THE Red Cross Considers British AT.
titude in Violation of Geneva
Convention.

Washington, May 1.-THE American
government is preparing to protest
to Great Britain against its policy
of refusing to allow the shipment OF
hospital supplies by the American
Red Cross to Germany and her allies.
Secretary Lansing received letter
today from former Rresident TAFT
chairman of the central committee
of the Red Cross, urging such action
and it was learned tonight that the
matter would be taken up with the
British government in the near fu-
ture
Mr.. Taft's letter revealed for the
first time that Great Britain formally
had declined to issue permits tor
shipments of supplies to the Central
Powers except when intended for
American hospital units. This excep-
tion, Mr.. Taft wrote, was worthless
because on account Of lack of FUNDS
the Red Gross had maintained no
units in the belligernt countries since
last October.
The Red Cross considers the Brit
ish attitude in violation of the Geneva
convention, to which the United
States and all of the present Oelli-
gerents are signatories, and holds
that the American government has
the right to insist upon observance OF
the treaty.
Mr.. Taft expressed the hope that
the British position was based upon
an erroneous belief that the central
powers had failed TO agree to re-
ciprocal course in the treatment o.
articles for the sick and wounded.

THOMAS LIPSCOMB
SUFFERS WOUND
The State.

Camden, May 11.-Camden was
shocked early this morning when it
was known that Thomas J. Lipscomb
had shot and probably fatally wound
ed himself at his home on North
Broad street. No cause was given
for the act other than it was known
to some of his close friends that he
had been sufferer FOR some time
from nervous dyspepsia
At $50 o'clock Thursday morning
he arose and complained to members
of the family that he had been unable
to sleep during the night. He was
advised to go into another room
where probably he would find it
easier to rest. Almost Immediately a
pistol shot was heard and he was
found with bullet wound in his
temple. The ball ranged upward and
came out at the top of his head At
late hour tonight ne was still alive
but his condition is critical
The tragedy has shocked the city.
There was not a more popular man
in Camden than Tom Lipscomb, high
toned and honorable, and sorrow is
expressed on all sides. For several
years Mr.. Lipscomb was a partner in
the Camden Coca-Cola Bottling COM
pany but two years ago he sold his
interest in that firm and has been
proprietor of a soft drink bottling
company making principally Chero-
Cola and has been to large degree
successful and his business afa1rs 80
far as is known were in fine shape
Surrounded by happy family of a
J wife and two children and Of genial
Jolly disposition his friends know nc
reason why he should have committed
the deed other than i'll health.
His aged mother resides in Colum'
bia.
Mr.. L;pscoms. who is about 8
years OF age, was born and educated
in Columbia, having attended th'
University Of South Carolina. In $780,
he was married to Miss Victoria Jor
Idan, a niece Of Former Mayor CARR
son of Camden. He has two small
children, Thomas Lipscomb, Jr, an'

A transportation innovation which

Mr.. Houtari".

to carry him back and forth on land,
but is used as the driving mechanism

which he navigateS the waters OF Gray

Part of his trips can be made by land.
but there are several points which can
he reached only by water journey. How
to make one vehicle do for all his going
about was Mr.. Houtaric's problem. And
he solved it IN so simple a way that
one can hut wonder why hundreds of
others have not already done the same
thing.
He had built scow, similar to the

Air and Moisture Soon
Penetrate Iron Surface

Experiments conducted for the Royal
Society Of Arts in England have shown
that each fresh coat OF paint put on
top OF another on an iron plate in
creases the amount OF rust which forms
on the plate
Four plates painted WITH one, two,
three. and four coats were exposed TO
steam for one day. the paint was dis
solved off and the results mentioned
were observed. The explanation given
is that each subsequent coat tends to
dissolve a part of the pre> ious one and
renders it more porous.
