neunccd by Secretary Harry S. Howard
of the state chapter in behalf OF the ex.
ecutive committee. Secretary Howard
said the money would be expended for

Mr.. Howard said there was need of
men, and not women alone, to learn first
aid work: and any further funds that
might be given without restriction AS to
the means for which they were to be
spent, would be used for the purpose OF
providing such instruction. The Amer.
lean Red Cross has for some months been
planning the organization OF sanitary
corps.
A date between April l5 and 20 will be
selected for the big chapter meeting and
statewide conference to be held here,

When Fire Destroyed a Small House at

At midnight Saturday fire broke out
in the house in upper Graniteville owned
by Lewis W. Sawyer and, despite the
strenuous efforts of company OF volun-

one half story affair, and small shed,
were burned to the ground The family
of X. Palo, quarry worker, occupied the
house and a few moments before l2
o'clock they were awakened by an explo-
sion down stairs. Before the man, his
wife and small child had time to real

OF the house was ablaze and it was with
difficulty that they made their escape.
An alarm was sounded and men respond

did not succeed in saving any of their

There are many reasons for believing
that the explosion occurred in a down

ance carried in the G. II. Pape agency,

washington Government Reticent.

Washington, d. O., April 2 State de-

throw any light upon the departure OF
Ambassador Penfield from Vienna. They
would not admit that the ambassador
was on his way home, or that he had
been recalled by Secretary Lansing for a
conference, "a press dispatches have
stated.
The United States never has formally
received Count Tarnowski, the new Aus
trian ambassador, who has been waiting
here two months, while the charge, Baron
Iwiedinek, continued as official repre-.

quarters the suggestion has even been
advanced that Mr.. Penfeld was being
withdrawn so as to equalze the situa-
ton by leaving a charge at head of the
American embassy at Vienna.
Even in case Congress declares a state
OF war between this country and Ger
many, it is understood the United States
will not initiate any sort of action to-
