A Happy Return

The return last week of Samuel T.
Gordon, financial secretary of the Penns
Grove Loyal Order OF Moose, confirmed
the belief of his friends as announced in
the Record July 9th, that he went away
on the Fourth with the intention of re-
turning and with no intention OF defalca-
ton as feared by those who created a
sensation by their announcement which
was current all over town.
The current report, is that his accounts
are being audited and the clerical errors
corrected to the happy satisfaction Of
those concerned.
While it is not our personal CONCERN
what the Moose do, give away or lose,
the people ant the sensational news and
look for it in the newspaper. But we
feel a moral obligation in the principles
OF temperance and honesty, as do all
good citizens, more than in the reputa-
ton OF any citizen undeseryed. Those
who imagined a criminal libel had
beer published failed to perceive how
the English language can be used to con-
vey ideas and evidently lost sight OF the
principles involved, which are the most
important. When the Record ref scts an
uDcouth image, do not desire to smash
the looking glass, but improve the
image.

There was fair attendance OF
country people in market this, morn

Observation-Disclosures CHANCELLOR'S SPEECH
Germany Not Seeking Conquest But
Territorial Readjustments, Says
New Premier.

Amsterdam, July 21-Not con
quests or annexations, but territoria
readjustments constitutes the peace
terms of Germany and her allies.
DR.. George Michaelis, in his maid
en- speech before the Reichstag Thurs
day announced this to the word. HI
said:
"We must by means of under
standing and in spirit of give anc
take guarantee conditions of the
existence of the German empire, up
on the continent and overseas.
Germany did not desire the wal
in order to make violent conquests
and therefore, will not continue the
war day longer merely for the sake
of such conquests, if it could obtain
an honorable peace
The sweeping victory of the tri,
party bloc in the Reichstag became
fact at yesterdays momentous ses-
sion, details of which did not filter
through the Berlin censorship uu-
til today.
AS was foreshadowed, the result
of the session is that the Reichstag' 5
majority, not military or political
dictator, or "stop-gap," are in su-
preme control.
For the first time in the empires
history an imperial chancellor has
been forced to bow to the Parliament
as it's servant, instead of debating
to it as it's master. The majority
peace resolution was passed PA to
116. Seventeen deputies abstained
from voting.
, The chancellor himself subscribed
to the resolution The party leaders
accepted his Interpretation. 1t also
became known for the first time that
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg had
indorsed it. The resolution means
;that Germany ana her allies invite
their enemies to bargain over all
that has been lost and. gained during
the war.
Y With regard to internal reforms
the chancellor met the reformists
onlv half way. Nevertheless he an
hounced one epoch-making conces-
sion.
He promised to call into "lcadlng
executive positions, men who possess
the confidence Of the great parties
in the peoples representatives"

Over 5000, 900, 900 in Southern yege.
!. !, tables and Fruits Annually Ship.
ped to North and West.

Baltimore, Md, July 21.-"The
South is furnishing annually about
S200,000,000 worth of early vege
tables, fruits, fish and oysters to the
North and West, without which these
sections would suffer food famine
especially for potatoes, onions, citrus
fruits, peaches, apples and other pro.
ducts" is the statement made by the
Manufacturers Record in this week s
issue, based on reports compiled
through the cooperation Of the rail
road officials of the South.
The Record also shows that one
Southern road alone handled 34,5OO
carloads Of vegetables and fruits or
iginating on its line, while the total
traffic of this kind shipped from the
South to the North and West amounts
annually to about 100000 carloads,
or over 100000 tons, and at a low
valuation it is estimated that the
aggregate is over $2OO,000,0OO.
The extent of the potato industry
is indicated in shipments from the
Charleston section of over $4,000
900 worth of potatoes this year, while
Florida shipped still larger amount,
and the aggregate shipments from
Virginia will reach about 100000
barrels, worth to the growers about
$20,000,O0O. On one day in July 686
carloads of potatoes were shipped
from Virginia to the North and West.
The total shipment of potatoes in
the United States on that day was
83S carloads, and of this amount all
but 81 carloads originated in the
South, and of these 81 carloads pro-
duced in other sections % were from
the Pacific coast.
In addition to these enormous ship
ments Of vegetables and fruits, the
South, from the Shesapeake Bay to
Texas, furnishes the bulk of the oy-
sters consumed -i,f the West and a
large proportion of the fish.
The Record further states that the
Great contribution Of the South to
the nations food supply has been so
slightly appreciated that few
months ago the. Assistant Secretary
of Agriculture was constantly threat
ening the South wit hstarvation un-
less it raised all of its own foodstuffs,
because, he said, the country would
not permit cars to be used to carry
grain and meats from the, West to
the South, entirely ignoring the enor-
nous shipments of Southern food
stuffs into the North and West.
