 WASHINGTON, May D. The enormous inroads on the worlds shipping made by German sub marines within the last few weeks has brought to American government officials a full reali- zation of the disaster that faces the United States and the allies if the undersea warfare is not checked.
 Governors and state representa- tives. here today for a national defense conference, will take home to their people a message from the government emphasiz- ing the menace to America and urging that there must be the full lest coordination by the states in war preparation if Germany is to be defeated.
 400, 900 Tons Weekly
 Secretary Lane told the confer ence that the great destruction of ships was threatening the es- istence of Great Britain and of France and menaeing the United States. No one, he said, knew the exact number of ships lost recently, but estimates put last weeks submarine toll at 100000 tons. Later he explained that this estimate probably was too hioh.

Death

A telegram received here on Satur.
day last announced the death of
Mrs. Caleb Campbell, at her home in
Newport News, Va. While relativ.
es in Monterey knew of her i'll health,
the news of her death came as a
shock and surprise. Her step-moth-
er, Mrs. o. E. Sullenberger,, who had
returned from Newport News few
days before. brought word of Mrs.
Campell's illness, and Mrs. K. II.
Trimble, an ouly sister, was on her
way there when news of her death
was received.
Mrs. Campell was Miss Phebe
Sullenberger before marriage, daugh-
ter of the late Samual Sullenberger.
and was about 60 years of age. Her
oldest brother, Jay Sullenberger,
died in Florida a few months ago,
and it is believed by friends that
grief over his death contributed
largely to her breakdown in health.
Another brother, Lee Sullenberger,
resides in California. Don and
Lloyd Sullenberger, of the Monterey
mercantile firm, are half brothers
of the deceased.
Of her immediate family, she is
survived by her husband, three sons
and a daughter.

Why Dc AnuriG'' Is am
IN SUR AN c e
AGAINST Sudden Death

Before an Insurance Company will
take risk on your life the examining
physician will test the urine and report
whether you are good risk. When
your kidneys get sluggish and clog,
you suffer from backache, sick-head--
ache, dizzy spells, or the twinges and
pains of lumbago, rheumatism and
govt. The urine is often cloudy, full
of sediment; channels often get sore
and sleep is disturbed two or three
times night. This is the time you
should consult some physician OF wide
SUPERINTENDENT as DR.. Pierce OF the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N. Y. Send him 10 cents for
sample package of his new discovery,
NAnuric." Write him your symptoms
and send a sample of urine for test:
Experience has taught DR.. Pierce that
uAnuric" is the most powerful agent
! in dissolving uric acid, as hot water
melts sugar; besides being absolutely
harmless it is endowed with other
properties, for it preserves the kidneys
| in q healthy condition by thoroughly
cleansing them. Being SO many tunes
more active than lithia, it clears the
heart valves of any sandy spnstan tsa
! which may clog them and cnecks 'n as
degeneration of the blood vessels, DIS
well as regulating. blood pressure;
uAnuric" is q regular insurance anu
life-sayer for all big meat eaters ana tnose
who deposit lime-salts IN their Joints.
Ask the druggist for "Anurlc." put up
by Dr.. Pierce, in 50-cent packages.

Monterey Stock Farm Sold

One of the largest and most i'm
portant transfers of real estate and
personal property in many years
took place last Saturday when the
Monterey Stock Farm, including
nearly all the live stock and farm
equipment, passed into new hands.
J. M carson, of Fairwood, Va,
and F P. Fields, of North carolina,
are the purchasers and immediate
possession was given. The Recorder
has learned nothing as to-the plans
of the new owners, but it is under
stood that one of them will occupy
and manage the farm in person, Mr.
Swadley remaining in charge until
his arrival. The price paid was not
made public, but as it is one of the
most valuable grazing properties in
the county comprising 1900 acres
the consideration was a handsome
one.
AS to the retiring owners, it is
hoped that Mr.. Swadley, native
the county, will remain among us.
Mr.. Huvler, the senior partner, is a
New Yorker, but has been identified
with interests in Highland for
number of years. He is progress
i've, enterprising gentleman, and
his friends and the people generally
will be gratifed should he continue
his interest along industrial lines in

Accidentally Shot

A shot gun in the hands of Mon
dell Simmons, a Monterey boy, &C
cidently discharged, inflicted an
ugly flesh wound on Joseph Chest
nut, we'll known Back Creek farmer,
the accident occurring on Friday.
Mr.. Chestnut vi as leaving town for
home, and while going up Trlmble
hill, the Simmons boy essayed to
climb into the wagon, having the
gun in bis hand. 1t struck the
wagon bed and was discharged, the
load of shot striking Mr.. Chestnut
in the hip and ranging forward to
the thigh, making a severe flesh
wound. The unfortunate man was
brought to DR.. Fox's Office, and
after receiving such attention as
was needed, was moved to room
in the old, Commercial Hotel, new
occupied by Dewitt Ralston.
While the wound was painful one,
he has gotten along very we'll, and,
barring infection, # is thought he
will soon recover.
Mr.. Chestnut has been attended
by his mother and father and other
relatives from the neighborhood of
his Back Creek home.

PEOPLE DEMANDING PROTECTION OF HONOR
Believed President Will Go Slow With His Power, Yet It Is Feared That No Other Course

By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, March ?. Special. )-In the opinion ol practically every member of Congress, war between the United States and Germany is as inevitable as was the com mission by Teuton submarines of the covert act. -
 When the President on February 3 severed diplomatic relations with the imperial government he declared that conditions would remain in statu quo unless Germany committed an in- excusable crime against the honor and dignity of the United States. By the very nature of the situation, Ger many, determined to stop commerce directed to England, could not have obviated, even had Germany so de- sired, an ultimate act which would constitute the second step leading to war between this and that country.
 And since Germany has committed an act recognized by the cabinet as the overt act" Germany must in the future,

SUGGESTS MOTION
 PICTURE RECRUITING

Probably in no other industry in New York has a more profound spirit of patriotism been aroused by the submarine boat crisis than in motion pictures.
 President Richard A. Rowland of Metro Pictures corporation, after sending a telegram to President Wilson offering the services of himself and his organiza- ton. made this statement:
 Furthermore. in the event of war which I sincerely hope will not take piace-Metro stands ready to give yeo- man service in the way of helping re- cruiting. For instance, in Europe, motion pictures to stimulate enlistments now are being shown.
 Metro is ready and willing to produce a film-under the guidance of the United States government-the purpose of which would be to draw into military service the most desirable classes of men. The situation in Europe has proved that mo- tion pictures form the very best basis for recruiting. This is one angle which, in the event of hostilities, could be taken care of by motion picture men, co-operat- ing with the government.
 Needless to say we in the motion pie ture industry sincerely trust that hos- tilities will be avoided. In our industry every nationality is represented, but when it comes to a final analysis, mo- ton picture men here know only one flag and one country"

Do not forget to fertilize and plough in. If well-rotted stable manure can be secured, you cannot use too much, but it must be mixed thoroughly with the soil by cultivation. Unless the weather man interferes, the plouEhing and cultivation should be go- ing strong from now on.
