MODERATION!

Mr.. Andrew D. White, one of our
American men OF letter declares that
during many sojcurEs abroad he saw
no drunkenness among the wine
drinking peoples of Europe. And he
adds these words wlich, though few
i'll number, contain well-ligh per
feet statement of the true philosophy
of the drink question:
'Tt is my earnest conviction, based
upon wide observation in my own
country as we'll as in n.any others
during about half century that the
American theory and practice as re-

NOT NECESSARILY WAR.

NUI NECESSAhlLl WAX
What The Herald and News may
say or think about the war situation
does not amount to much and will
have no influence one way or the 9TH
er. We do think some of the papers
are saying too much. 1t looks now
that we may have war with Germany,
but somehow we have felt all the
time that President Wilson was going
to avoid war. Just how he is going
20 Go it We do not know, but somehow
we Just feel that there is going to
be scme way 70 avoid it.
Germany has not broken any prom
ise in the matter Of her submarine
warfare, and the wonder to Us has
been that she cid not do this very
thing icng ago. England early in the
war put blockade on Germany and
kept her from getting any OF Our cot
ton, and we cannot see much differ
ence if Germany can place block
ade on England and shut off war mu~
n:tions and food supplies. 1t may
result in an early termination of the
war. We hope so.
The Greenville Piedmont about eX-
presses the situation as it appears to
Us and we are going to quote the sum-
mary made by this paper:
In the exchanges over the sinking
of the Sussex, Germany agreed 70
sink no ships without warning ana
opportunity of escape to those OH
them, except ships which showed fight
or attempted to escape. Germany
aid not try to make a bargain out OF
putting restrictions upon submarine
warfare, but did point ont:
q. That entente nations violated
international law, not only as TO legal
commerce between neutral nations
and those Of the central alliance, but
also as to commerce between one nel-
tral nation and another neutral nj
ton.
=. Tnat this interference with legi-
tir1ate commerce, carried on contrary
to International law, was an Illegal
var measure adopted for The purpose
Of weakening Germany and her az
lies.
"3. That neutral nations which per-
mitted this Illegal interference with
their legitimate commerce were not
only permitting an injury to them
selves but were aiding the entente to
irjure Germany and her allies.
"a. That if neutral nations contin-
ued to permit this illegal entente in
terference with their commerce 1t
would create a situation which would
compel Germany to remove the re-
strictions as to submarine warfare
and meet illegality with illegality.

Two We'll Liked Stars Tomorrow Night 1t Dream Theatre.

Blanche Sweet and Theodore Roberts will appear tomorrow night at the Dream in "Unproteeted," an unusual production.
 Barbara King. after her parents death goes to live with her irascible uncle who refuses to permit her to in- dulge in her artistic inclnations. An accident befals the old man in which he is killed and she is sentenced to ten years in prison, and leased out to | private firm to work with the riff turpentine camps
 How. as young artist. she meets the son of the Governor-how he falls in love with her and although she is convicted under different name. finds her just as she is about to fall into the clutches of the owner of the camp --how the conyicts rebel against the treatment-and how they are finally saved from worse than death by her pleas fer them to the Governor makes a story absolutely unique in motion picture annals.
 There is no other artist on the pho to-dramatic screen who has the yer satility and is able to run the gamut of characters as ably as does Miss Sweet. She has in her excellent man ner depicted characters of all nation siities, and in all walks of life. In Unprotected, she portrays the most striking and unusual character of her entire career.
