WAR!

The Senate last night passed the
resolution declaring that a state OF
war exists between the United
States and Germany, by a vote OF
81 to s. The president is directed
to prosecute the war to successful
termination. Forty-three democrats
and SO republicans voted for war.
The House will give an equally large
majority in its vote today
Appropriations carrying over
S44O, 100000 were made yesterday
for war measures. By the time
this is read we will be officially at
war with Germany although a state
of war has practically existed for
sometime.

GERMAN SPIES AGAIN BUSY
IN THE SOUTH

The Associated Press sends ont .
story that German spies are bnsv
IN the South trying to incite the
negroes against the white people.
teIlog them that they can become
tne equals of the white race. The
plan IS to cripple the South's in.
oustrles by an uprising of the negroes
ana give trouble in the war with
Germany. A particular case in point
is at Locust Grove" negro settle
ment near Greensboro. The New
ork papers sent men there to gather
facts and an interesting story ap-
pears in the New York Tribune of
the plot and the determination of
the white men to put down any at.
tempt at an uprising, even resortine
TO the Ku Klux plan again which
served the South so wellin the past.
The idea of the black rebellion is
said first to have been broached in
this country at conference of Ger
man aGents, Mexican 'revolutionists
and negro agitators ia San Diego,
Cal, in April 1915. The plan de-
veleped at this meeting was that in
the event of war between Germany
and the United States the American
negroes should rise, free themselves
af the white mans hand, seize Texas
and turn it into a black republic.
Mexican and Japanese were to have
equal rights with the negro. This
plot is referred to by the negroes
who know of it as the. plan of San
Diego" !
The federal government confirms
the story, President Dudley of the
negro A. & T College ond other good
citizens, white and black, says it is
SO but the Greensboro News seems
to discount the whole affair in the
face of overwhelming proof that
there is propaganda to stir up ia
ternal strife by German spies.
1t looks like the best plan would
be to arrest the spies at .once, even
if they are supposed to be book
agents, doctors or what not, regard.
less of whether it suits this or that

SKULL, BONES AND "a

On the sidewalks of Greensboro
Sunday could be seen several mys-
terious signs made with chalk. On
West Market we noticed the skull
and crossed bones with the figure
94" below. Many people looked
upon the mysterious drawing.
Evidently the work was that of some
boys who desired to start scare.
The week before the houses in Reds
vile were painted with the figures
q "94" and doubtless the party or
parties who played the prank on
Greensboro had read of the: Reids.
vile affair and thought they would
give Greensboro sensation also.

Old Building at Old James. ! les
49, - tOWn BnTiS

The Mrs. c. w. Venable residence
at old jamestown was destroyed by
fire yesterday. The High Point
Fire Department was on the scene
but could do very little good. 1t
was one of the oldest residences in
this part of the state, built during
the revolutionary war but had been
greatly overhauled of late. At one
time the old building was used by
the Masons to meet in. There was
insurance on the property to the
amount of $4,000 but the building
was worth at least ST 900 more.

Some COmmOtion over i
i German SDY''

Friday a German spy" was in the
city doing business,or at least about
every one thought such a monster
was here. 1t happened this way:
There was a tall, elderly gentleman,
with a foreign accent, going from
house to house, in very inquistive
manner. claiming and leaving the
impression that he was taking the
school census, and of course many
unsuspecting women gave him all
the information he desired. He
wanted all the children of kinder
earten age, from 6 10 Is years
their names rather. the names of
their parents and the number of the
house in which they lived as well as
the name of the street. Some of
the people became suspicious and
they communicated to the City
Manager--becauSe they reckoned how
stranger would be taking the cen
sus of the city, when a home man
had always done the trick. Besides
he was too inquisitiSe, anyway
wanted to know little too much of
home affairs and things pertaining to
their children. The police soon got
busy and found their man, who
when brought to headquarters want
ed to act quite nasty about it. He
was asked why he dent make the
proper officer acquainted with his
work when he told them that he
was representing book concern in
terested in kindergarten literature.
He seemed to think it was not nee
cessary and said that it would have
spoiled his plans and he worked the
1use so as to get the desired fnforma-
ton. He showed letters purportine
to represent certain book publish
ing house and after some very per-
tinent questions he was released
City Manager, [ yon soon got busy on
the wire to see if his tale was STRAIGHT.
The man left the city pretty soon.
afterwards it is learned. He gave
the name of E. C. Smell.
There were all kinds of rumors
out ON the streets about the man
and there were many ready to fix
him if he turned out to be a
spy because the people of High Point
are loyal to their country and flag.

A Great Effort on the
s'Trinmnh of FraternaliSm''

1t was an appreciative audience
that greeted DR.. Henry Wise BeviIle
state manager OF the Insurance De-
partment of the Knights of Pythias
at the K. of P. hall Monday night.
It is a great pity every citizen OF
High Point could not have heard
this great speech on Fraternalism
Few there be who can match DR..
Beville on such a subject and the
audience was held spell bound by
his vivid recital of The Triumph of
Fraternalism" His various expert
ence and wonderful memory unfold
ed a pleasing panorama of the past
present and future of the fraternltles.
He is an M. D. as well as a D D.
being a Baptist preacher. The
oldest institution in the world is the
home and it comes first declared
the speaker. His rendition of the
part Pythianism played in the burn
ine of the Spottswood hotel at Rich
mond in 1870 was fue effort and
a unusual thing happened just as
he was telling of this part OF the ad-
dress. AS he came to the ringing
of the fire alarm in Richmond that
memorable cold night an alarm OF
fire was sounded from Box AZ in 'he
citv and the fire wagons went Dy
Just as he was telling OF the nLe
{ companies going to the tlre Ill Klch-
mond that night in the long ago
And the box from which the aiartn
was sounded there was also NO. a.
We trust DR.. Beville can return
sometime soon and deliver this lee,
sure in the auditorium to pacKeo
house. 1t is great. DR.. BeViiie ran
I'D with an old friend in the person
of Mai. A. J. Dodamead, being ac-
ouainted with many people ana m
cidents in the life OF our towns
man.

The review. [volume] (High Point, N.C.) 1908-19??, 1917-04-05
Officers Did Their Duty

The Review believes that the
City Manager and the officers die
their duty last Friday when they
apprehended the man Smell who
was taking the school census The
trouble lies with the stranger
(even if he is innocent of any wrong
doing) because before starting a
canvas of such asnature. he should
have consulted the City Manager
and made known his intentions. The
fact is he told several families that he
WAS taking the school census and
we have Witne sses that will SO teStl-
~. Therefore ne lad no %
misrepresent matters to our: people.
He was monifestly making false rep
resentations and the city should have
taken recourse to the law. The ia
formation secured from the people
was brought out by false impressions
and MISREPRESENTATION and it strikes
us as rather bad plan to let such
a procedure 90 unnoticed. Then
the strangers actions were rather
suspicious and we feel like the City
authorities were perfectly justified
to detain the. mao and find out
something about HMM fact we
know the law allows proper enllght-
ment on any suspicious movement
of man or thing if it is believed it
is against the peace and dignity OF
the city, state or nation.
AS to the ending" of the affair
we are still jubious-in other words
we are FROM Missouri.
High Point only has three officers
of the law on duly at a time guard
ing this city of $4,000 inhabitants
and we believe they do their duty
as well as any. They should be
helped and not hindered in their
duty; proper respect for constituted
authority is what ensures the carry
ing out of the law. The officers are
not elected by the people but oy
the City Council and therefore It any
mistakes are made by them 1t IS Tor
the City Manager or the Council to
pass upon and not the public; so
therefore it is doing them an lnJus-
tice to parade publicly any and
everything an individual thinks IS
aot right. More likely if they would
take time to investigate they would
be put wise to this or that thing.
Disrespect for law is the result OF
too much agitation thru the wrong
channel. Humanity is weak ana
any man is liable to err but we
should be willing to reserve censure
until the facts in each case are made
known. " -.~< ~.
