Not The Hour For Peace.
Asheville Times.


Asheville Times.
No clearer statement of the
mind of those governments now
engaged in the death grapple
with the Imperial government of
Germany can be made than that
which came from the formal
statement issued a few days ago
by tbs conference of the Allied
Powers held in Paris. That con.
ference resolved motto lay down
arms until they have attained
the end which in their eyes DOM
nate all others-to render impos.
sible a return of the criminal az.
gression such as that whereof the
Central Powers bear the respon-
sibility."
This is exactly the end t h q t
must be achieved or the cause
for which this country has enter
ed the war is lost. There can be
no peace on other terms the dis
continuance OF hostilites under
other circumstances would be
no peace on other terms-the dis
continuance of hostilities under
other circumstances would be
but all armed truce, with every
nation ready at a moments no
tice to resist an outbreak of Prus-
sian aggression.
Senator Borah, recently in a
speech III the United States Sen.
ate, suggested that the time may
come when a specific statement
Of the objects for which this coun-
try is fighting may become nee
essary. He intimated that the
time was now here. This is not a
simple matter, because the lead.
ers cannot express in q catch
phrase so gigantic President
Wilson, when he said that "the
world must be made safe for de-
mocracy," gave the people the
fundamental reason for Ameri.
cas- entrance into the war. The
permanent preservation of free
government dependsupon the re-
suit suggested by Mr.. Wilson.
German autOcracy talks con.
tinually of peace-but in every
instance the German mind IS
thinking of peace from the Ger.
man standpoint. Berlin desires
peace, as do the people of the In
perial government, but it is a
pf ace without resultant penalty
to Germany. A condition which
will enable the Imperial govern.
ment to gradually strengthen
herself and make ready for an
other drive is the condition de-
sired by the Kaiser and his adhe.
rents.
1t is q waste OF words and ut
ter foolishness to talk OF peace
when from Berlin there comes
continually the news that the
Imperial government is proclai-
ming victory and the bureau.
Gratis of the Kaiser are expecting
q ''restoration of the former
status" 1t any American desires
any other course than that which
means absolute overthrow OF
German military power before
ever q conference be held toward
an end OF the conflict, be veribly
has a wrong conception of what
the future would bring forth.
There can be no peace unless
autocracy be brought to its
knees and made to pay the pen-
alty for the crimes of which it
has been guilty daring the past
three years-crilnes that are still
committed and without q shad.
ow of apology or excuse.

Probably the first instance where an
automobile truck was used for doing
the work of a tugboat on the Kenne-
bee river came to pass Thursday noon
when the schooner Alice Wentworth,
Captain Murphy, bound for the mill of
the Augusta Lumber Co. to load lum-
Der for Bridgeport, Conn, was landed
1t her destination by that means. The
.:chooner did not make the entire trip
up the Kennebec in that way for she
came to this city in tow of the tug
Seguin, but the tug is a big one and
trip up to Augusta Lumber Co.'S wharf
is said to be dangerous to the tug $
welfare, so the tug does not take the
chance. Because of this the tug
brought the schooner Wentworth as
far Yesterday as the State hospital
wharf and then left her and returned
to Bath, leaving the schooner to make
her way up to the Augusta Lumber Co
wharf as best she could. This might
have been done by putting two men
into the yawl and having them tow the
schooner to the desired point in that
way. but that method is a little old
fashioned in these days of progress, so
the lumber company's new auto truck
was brought into use, and equipped
with a long line the other end of which
was made fast to the schooner and she
was towed up the channel near the
east shore and landed at the companys
wharf.

Dismembering a Car, Not ;
German Bomb.

1t was not a German bomb that eA-
pioded Wednesday morning on upper
Water street but is as quickly caused
a crowd to collect, scores appearing as
if by magic from unknown places
when the report was heard.
An auto was passing up the street
moving along briskly on the car tracks,
when a big cloud of smoke and dirt
was seen to arise from under the rear
Of the car and a report like that OF
cannon was heard. Everyone jump
ed and those who saw the affair eX-
pected to see the auto disappear In
fragments, but it simply kept right on
its way-minus few scraps OF some
| thing left i'll the street. vibrating and
rolling about and smoking, as though
still afire.
| The quickly gathered crowd edged
up to the debris, some evidently timld
and expecting to find the remains OF
| deadly bomb, only to discover that
| the stuff appeared to be section OF
stove pipe with an asbestos lining,
perhaps the ruins of an exhaust pipe
perhaps that of a muffier. perhaps OF
some other equally as important part
Of the auto. Anyway. it did not seem
to be missed by the driver of the ma
chine, who kept on his way without
coming back to see what had caused
! the noise or the crowd to gather.
Remarked one of the bystanders
"Oh. that was a--car. Tfey Il
never know the part is gone. AND
the crowd grinned and dispersed.

BOARD OF EDUCATION
w. S. Wilson Win Be Candidate for
Reelection to Membership

Wilbert ; Wilson. who last June
was elected to the board of educa-
tion to fill out the uneXpired term of
Rev. Fl. T.. Dunnack. who moved from
the city, in reply to inquiry by q Jour-
nal Representatives as to whether or
not he would be candidate for rc-elcc-
ton SAYS:
II shall make no official announce
memt Of my candidacy but my position
in the matter has been clearly set
forth to several members Of the board
of education to whom have said
substantially this: 1 have delayed for
some time making a decision with ref
erence to thee matter on account of
the vast amount of work occupying
my time, but owing to the fact that
the work makes a personal appeal to
me, and also because of the kind con-
sidcratiOn OF the many citizens who
Of late have called on me in this con-
nection ! have finally decided to allow
my name to be presented at the June
election"
Mr.. Wilson, upon assuming his place
upon the board of education, was I'M
mcdiatcly elected chairman, and has
served in that capacity for the past
year. during the time when there has
been an unusual amount Of work and
responsibility connected with the po-
sition The work of rebuilding the
Smith school, and of putting an ad-
dition to the Lincoln school building
has required a great deal of extra
time from every individual member Of
the board of education, but particu-
rlN from the chairman. In view OF
the fact that members serve without
compensation the attitude OF Mr.. VIII
son in the matter shows a very COM
mcndablc public spirit, and his will
ingness to serve again will doubtless
bc appreciated, not only by his friends
in Ward ,, but by those throughout
the city who follow closely matters
pertaining to school affairs.

FOR SAILOR DEAD
Beautiful and Impressive Feature Of
Memorial Day Exercises

One of the most beautiful and i'm
pressive features of the Memorial day
program was a service held at the Au-
gusta clubhouse in memory of our
sailor soldier dead whose bodies lie
somewhere within watery tomb and
over whom no monument can be rear
ed. The following program was given

Thee; ceremony of strewing the flow
ers; address to the flowers Mrs. Emma
A. Gannett: prayer. Mrs. Elizabeth

The first and last numbers were
given by members Of the Junior MI
litia. Members of Henry G. Staples
Camp. Sons of Veterans, and of the
other allied organizations, also partic-
ipated in the exercises.
This beautiful custom originated in
Nebraska during the Spanish Amerll
can war and in memory of Nebras-
ka boy, who was buried at sea or
June II, 1898. When on the succeed
| ing Decoration day flowers were

BY an unfortunate combination OF
circumstances a baseball game winch
would probably have been one of the
fiercost struggles of the week in the
Grammar school series. and which was
to have taken place yesterday after
noon, was left unplayed and will prob
ably remain 50. The game was to have
been played between the harrington
and Smith teams, and each team was
aching to get at the other but while
the Harrington team thought the game
was to be played at the Driving park.
the Smith team thought the scene of
the game was to be Pettingill's Cor
ner and as each team went where they
thought the game was to be, they did
not meet for the afternoon.

TIMELY PRODUCTION ON
SCREEN AT THE MAJESTlt

THE Girl Philippa," from the book
Of the same name, opened at the Ma
jestic yesterday to crowded house.
Dainty Anita Stewart is cast in the
stellar role and as THE girl Philippa"
gives the screen her most wonderful
characterization. She Is dainty, sweet
and appealing from the first scene to
the last, and in the greatest Of her mo-
ments registers with power a1i con-
viction. The storl follows very close
ly the original book, pS Robert w.
Chambers. The character .f the plot
founded on French and German in
trigue. affords some remarkable ac-
ton, some OF which Is as gripping as
has ever been seen in any production.
Thrills are plenty, and an exceptional
feature Is the presentation OF some ac-
tual battle scenes taken from the prev
ent French front.
Wendell O'Day has selected an excel
lent program of music for the photoplay
production which adds much to the
general action. For his intermission
overture he played two selections from
the opera ''Rigoletto" that met with
great applause and appreciation. 1.-The

FIRST CONCERT OF SEASON
BY BOISE MUNICIPAL BAND

The first band concert Of the sea-
son in Boise was given on the capitol
steps yesterday afternoon by the Boise
Municipal band, George L. Fleharty
director. and although the enter ain
ment was threatened with a light
shower tho weather changed and tar
program was carried out A good
sized crowd turned out for the concert
The most notable feature Of the aft
ernoon was the playing by the band Of
Tchaikovskfs 1872 Overture" This is
selection which, because Of its un-
limited descriptive possibilities, is not
usually attempted by any but the
larger bands and Boise's Band deserves
great credit for the way In which tie
selection was rendered. TIE number
is descriptive Of Napoleon's invasion
of Russia and capture Of Moscow and
throughout the overture the Russian
national hymn and the Marsellaise are
brought in. Two other heavy num-
bers Of the afternoon were GrieRs
Peer Gynt" suite and Miserere,"
from II Trovatore." In the latter the
work Of Ralph Facilli on the cornet
and Mr.. Schimmett on the trombone
is deserving Of especial mention. The
usual light numbers filled out the pro-
gram.

given significance as applying to IrcA
land by announcement Of the impend-
Ing selection Of Monsignor Cerretti,
long student Of irish and American
affairs, as papalssecretary Of state for
extraordinary ecclesiastical affairs.
The new post does not affect Car
dinal Gaspardfs work as papal secre-
tary, but established a new sphere of
vatican activity.
Monsignor Cerretti was formerly pa
pal representative in Mexico and paoal
auditor at Washington under Cardinal
Falconio. At present he is papal nun
clio in Australia.
Creation of the new vatican post
aroused further interest today in re-
ports that the vatican had been advis-
ed by its South American ministers OF
the pending entry into the war of "al-
most all" Latin-American nations. The
pope's peace message of Saturday was
regarded as significant in this con-
nection.

formed, 1t was said, that other nations
In Europe and Asia may be drawn into
