Rio Janeiro, Jan. IT. - A German
raider for the past month has been
sinking vessels of the entente allied
powers In the south Atlantic. Latest
reports fix the number at fifteen.
Survivors of the destroyed vessels to
the number OF 237 have been landed
at Pernambuco, and the fate of nearly
450 men is still unknown.
The first official statements given
out here regarding the raider were to
the effect that seven vessels had been
sunk and nine captured. In the COM
munication to the minister of marine
the captain of the port of Pernambuco
declared that he had learned the
raider had also sunk eight of the ves-
sells which were at first reported
merely captured The crews the fate
of which is not known, numbered AL
men.
1t Is reported that the raider placed
these crews on board the British
steamer Yarrowdale, which then pro-
ceeded for port, 1t is therefore be-
lieved that they will be safely landed
within a day or two.
Another report has been received to
the effect that the st. Theodore has
been transformed into raider.
The chamber of commerce and con-
sulates at Pernambuco are devoting
much attention to the care of the
shipwrecked crowds. There is no con-
firmation of the alleged loss of 400
lives.
The vessels reported sunk are: Brit
sh-Radnorshire, Saint Theodore,
Dramatist, Minieh, Tredegar Hall
French-Nantes, Asnieres. The ves-
sells captured include the following:
British-King George, Mount Tenn
pie, Georgia, Voltaire, Yarrowdale;
apanese-Hudson Maru.
All of these vessels were sunk or
captured between December IL and
January 10 on the route between
the Azores and Pernambuco, in longi-
tudes varying between 40 and 80 west,
latitude between 80 north and south.
The crews Of the steamships sunk
were placed on the Hudson Maru.
This vessel was compelled to accom-
pany the raider to point degrees
south latitude, where she arrived on
Monday evening with ,2s7 men from
the crews of the vessels which were

TO THE SUNDAY SCHOOLS OF
HAYWOOD COUNTY:

Last summer we organized a county
Sunday school institute, elected dis
trict managers, divided the county in
to five districts; elected Prof. }. K.
Ellsworth of the High School as sec
retary and treasurer for the county.
We have held three district meet
ings, seven Sunday Sunday schools
have become a part of the organiza-
ton. The matter has not been push
ed during the winter months, but we
expect now to formulate plans and
push the work until every school in
the county becomes part of the work,
or at least has the opportunity to do
so.
Superintendents and teachers have
not enough interest in Sunday school
work. If our public school managers
and teachers of the county had no
more interest in the development OF
the children than large per cent OF
our Sunday school workers have in the
development Of the church, there would
be something doing"
The facts are, we do not realize the
Importance Of the work, If we did,
there would not be so many, many
people not engaged in the work. We
can't get the best results without the
cooperation of those who should be
interested in building up the schools.
We must have advanced methods,
more system and betetr qualified teacn
ers; to get them, we must cooperate
for general advance along all lines
of work.
If we expect to hold our neighbOr-
hoods together, we must be unit for
the building up of our churches.
The Sunday school is the life of
any church. If our Sunday schools
drag, the church will drag. A i've
county organization would do much
in developing an interest. Plans of ac-
ton could be laid which would bring
results.
We need every man. woman and
child in the county interested IN Sun
day school work. There are several
hundred people in Haywood county
who never go to church.
S everal hundred children who new
er go to Sunday school Who is to
blame for such a condition? We Sun
day school workers are.
What am ! doing? What are YOU
doing, to build up our schools
We need awaken to the needs Of the
hour. Our motto for the year 1917
should be, Every man, woman and
child member of Sunday school,
every member a Christian, every
Christian a worker"
According to our ability and OPP

Over Wilson's Veto
VOTE OF 81 TO 10 PUTS LAW EXCLUDING ALIENS UNDER GER
TAIN STANDARD OF EDUCATION FROM UNITED STATES
sHoREs-HoUsE ALREADY PASSED MEASURE OVER VETO

Washington, Feb. 6-Congress has
overridden veto by President Wilson
for the first time and enacted into law
the immigration bill with its long
fought literacy test provision. The
senate voted late yesterday, 81 to 10,
to pass the measure notwithstanding
the veto and in spite of the eleventh
hour information that Japan again
had protested against the language of
the Asiatic exclusion section.
The house overturned the veto last
week by vote of 287 to LOG, so the
senate's action ends the contest of
twenty years standing in which three
presidents have repudiated similar bills
passed by congress.
The international situation was
brought to the closing debate in the
senate, senators calling attention to
the Japanese protest and pleading that
nothing be done at this time to disturb
or impair the country's relations with
a friendly nation. Senator Smith of
North Carolina, chairman of the i'm
migration committee, answered with
the declaration that the present state
of international affairs emphasized the
necessity for pure, homogeneous
American people, such as this bill Aas
intended to protect

Other senator's who objected to the
presidents action announced that they
would vote for the endorsement for
the sake of national unity. All, how
ever, pledged their support if the coun-
try went to war
Senator Lodge, republican, probably
the presidents most frequent and bit
ter critic in international affairs,
pledged his whole support to the pres
ident's action unreservedly and called
upon his colleagues to follow him.
Senator Underwood, democrat, said
he considered the resolution ill-advised
at this time because the president was
a man of undoubted courage, Judgment
force and character, willing to take
the responsibility before the nations of
the world and the people of the coun-
try without sustaining voice."
But he added that he would support
it because failure to adopt it might be
interpreted in foreign lands to mean
that the country was not behind the
president and not willing to spend its
last dollar and its last man in time of
peril.
