30. L. Munger of Piedmont, Demo-

Congress, delivered an address here
Saturday at the Court House. He had
come for the purpose of speaking to
the school at the picnic grounds but
the rain prevented and his many ad-
mirers %pursuaded him to speak at the
Court House where a large crowd
gathered despite the downpour. Mr..
Munger did not talk politics, stating
that it hardly seemed PROPER after
coming for the purpose of talking to
the young people of the school. His
talk was along the line of education
and social betterment and his address
was very well received by all who
heard him. The things he said and
the manner in which he said them
branded him as a big man and capable
of doing big things"

V. v. ING of Wayne County has
filed his declaration with the Secre-
tsry of State as a candidate for Judge
of the Twenty First Judicial Circuit on
the Republican ticket. In speaking
of Mr.. Ing's Candidacy the Green
vile Sun in its last issue says:
The circuit is slightly Democratic,
the normal majority being something
like $40, but MI. Ing's friends feel
that his high standing as a lawyer and
a public spirited citizen, and his ex-
ceptional qualifi cations for the place,
will make it an easy matter to over
come this slight margin.
That's what you might term
"whistling through the graveyard"
The Sun well knows, if it knowns
anything of conditions in the circuit,
that Ing, nor any other Republican,
will have even a ''look in" against
j Judge bearing next November.

What will be our military situation
in the event OF n diplomatic rupture
with Germany?
lTlle first point that needs consid.
Grafton is the manner Of the rupture
1T there is merely a severance OF dip
lomatic relations, or a severance fol-
lowed III by steps not actually bclligcr.
'ent and merely in the nature OF re-
prtsals, an ambiguous situation VIII
be created. That is, we shall be IN a
relation 10 Germany not clearly de-
fined, And this, in view of the dil'
fcrent manner in which the foreign
policy Of the two countries is conduct
cd, would amount to leaving tho option
with Germany!
Assuming that no beliigcrent acts
occurred during the continuance OF
the present war, VIC should have no as
slrance but that Germany. OIL C0n'
Guiding peace with the European VOW
ers, or soon afterward, would decide
that a state OF war existed between
her and this country. II IS oven pos
siblo that an understanding that she
was to have a free hand on the Nortl
American continent. excepting Can
ada. might form n part {. tho peace
negotiations!
Assuming this possibility. then.
there is no safe way of approaching
u situation as regards Germany save
by saying that a rupture Of diplomatic;
relations is equivalent 30 the creation
SOf alstatc OF war: aud that our military
estimates must be based OH this sup
position!
arc tYo-Eow can We participate IN
the war extensively?
How can we defend ourselves IN
case of attack? -,
OWr participation extensively could,
for 12 months or more. only be imam
cjal and economic. That is Il question
for others to deal with. But II viii
he very unsafe to assume. as many
do, that our financial and economic in
yterventIon could be decisive. Our reg
uIar army Is far too small TO our IN
the struggle: it might, Mt most. be able
to relieve the French army along two
or three miles OF front. Our militia
and such volunteer troops as We should
raise could not either Immediately or
an 12 months time. have any offensive
value whatever. as the whole course
Of the war abundantly proves.
Our navy is the offensive force We
possess; which is, incidentally. a fact
not generally understood. The fleet
is essentially a striking weapon. to
be hold massed. combined in the most
effective way, and used for delivery
heavy blows. Unfortunately 1t Is far
from efficient, owing TO the extreme
" %inexpert way In which the higher
naval problems arc dealt with at
washington. and unfortunately war
with Germany at the present moment
offers little opportunity for the use
4 Of a fleet.
The British line Of battle feet Is
capable of controlling deep water, and
does not require immediate support;
while European shores are too distant
for us to. undertake iotilla operations
which, in any case, might not be Dc
sired either by France OF England,
Summing up. 1t Is clear that neither
by land nor by sea are We In a posi-
ton to participate Extensively.
IL we can do nothing extensively, Is
the nothing Germany could do to at
tack us? So long as tho British feet
exists, nothing. But, although It is far
from probable, the British feet might
