Answer them, sons of the self-same
race
And blood of the self-same clan,
Let us speak with each other face to
And answer as man to man,
And Loyalty love and trust each other
as none but free men can.
Now fling them out to the breeze,
Shamrock, Thistle and Rose,
And the Star Spangled Banner unfurl
with these,
A message to friends and foes
Wherever the sails of peace are seen
and wherever the warwind
blows.
A message to bond and thrall to wake
For, wherever we come, we twain,
The throne of the tyrant shall rock
and quake
And his menace be void and vain,
For you are the lords of strong
young land, and we are lords
of the main.
Yesi This is the voice of the bluff
March gale:
I'VE severed have been too long.
But now we have done with a worn
out tale
The tale of an ancient wrong;
And our friendship last long as love
doth last, and be stronger than
death is strong"

IN UNDERSEA TRIP
Submarine Voyage Was an Experience
of Naval Affairs Committee.
Atlantic Constitution.

From the Atlantic Constitution.
WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Represen-
tative Carl Vinson and members of the
House naval affairs committee have
returned to Washington on board the
presidential yacht Mayflower after
paying a visit of inspection to the diff
ferent navy yards on the Atlantic
coast.
Determined to take no chances of
a mishap at the hands of a stray enc
my submarine which might be Operat-
ing on this side of the Atlantic the
captain steamed at night with all
lights blanketed.
"One of the most interesting exper-
fences of the voyage to me-" Represen
tative Vinson said, was our inspection
of a submarine base We went down
in one of these submersibles and re-
manned submerged at depth of fifty
five feet for thirty-five minutes. There
are made and discharged. These mis-

Everything seems to be excluding

helpless a dreadnought would be in
the presence of fotilla of these I'M

THE STARVING NEUTRALS

Close upon the heels of President
Wilson's proclamation announcing an
embargo on foodstuffs being shipped to
European neutrals come protests from
these countries affected that they will
starve if cut off from this source of
food supply. A Norwegian commits
sion has already arrived in the United
States to present the plea of their
country for exemption from this ban.
And Holland has announced that she
will likewise send men to prove the
injustice of the edict.
Dr. Fridtjoff Nansen, head of the
Norwegian commission emphatically
denied that his country has been
source of supplies for Germany, stat
ing that the only commodity furnished
the enemy has been supplies of fish,
and that in smaller amounts than
have been sold to the Entente Powers.
In direct contrast to the contentious
of these starving neutTals" comes
the statement from a leading foreign
correspondent that Norway, Denmark,
Sweden and Holland have proved a
veritable storehouse of provisions for
Germany. Denmark, he says, has
been exporting 1000 head of cattle a
week across the German frontier;
Holland is sending smoked meats, but
ter. cheese, eggs, vegetables and fish
by the carload every day. Whale oil.
sardines, herring and sea food go
from Norway, and Sweden is selling
millions of kronen's worth of war
materials to Berlin.
Upon the United States Government |
devolves the task of proving the truth |
or falsity of these neutral presenta-
tiOns. If Germany is securing
through these countries the means of |
prOlOnging her destruction, it is i'm
perative that they be denied the sup
plies from this country which. it is
said, enable them to sell practically
all their own products to Germany.
If, on the other hand, these countries
have been misrepresented they
should be allowed to purchase the
foodstuffs they say are essential for
their existence. Let us deal with this
question with fairness and impartial
ity.

folly of this amendment has long since
ben recognized by both the North and
South. The demand by women for
suffrage brings to the front the ques-
ton. shall it be limited or restricted.
For the time being some form of a
restricted suffrage is best. Just as all
men are not qualified for suffrage, so
the same is applicable to all women.
II would be folly after making a
mistake to do the same over again.
Besides. all women do not want suf-
frage.
The woman with reasonable
amount of intelligence. and who has
property needs the right to vote.
Likewise. a mother, who has an intel
ligent interest in the welfare of her
children should have a right to ex-
press her opinions through suffrage
on these questions.
The ignorant and the unscrupulous
women's vote. just as the mems, needs
to be restricted. This is true of the
women in the North and
the Negro women of the South. Eth
er under the sway of the demagOgue
or the politician is dangerous.

BIG PACKERS
CONTROLLING .
RETAIL TRADE
; SAYS WITNESS

Boston, Mass, Dec. 2S-The con-
troll by the big Chicago packers Of
the rendering business throughout the
country was emphasized at the federal
trade commissions inquiry into the
meat supply which was continued here
today.
John Gelliane, witness at the federal
trade commission hearing, charged to-
day that packers were establishing
meat stores in various cities for the
purpose of driving retailers out Of
business. The Mohican company,
which operates chain of stores in
New England, was one of these con-
Germs, he said.
The packers set retail prices at
these stores SO low that Independent
stores could not compete, and many
went out of business.

APPEAL ALLOWED N
INTERESTING TAX CASE
City Claimed Lien For Taxes Accrulng
During Life Tenancy Against
Renainderman.

The Supreme Court of Appeals yes
terday allowed an appeal In the case
of Jefferson C. Powers, ct ais against
the city of Richmond, on appeal from
the Chancery Court. where a 1udg-
ment for S7746t, covering omitted
taxes on real estate. was awarded
against property Of the plaintiff on
appeal, the taxes having accrued prior
to his ownership The defendant on
appeal contests the right Of the city
TO hold him for taxes under the cir
cumstances. and declares that the law
on. which the city based its claim was
unconstitutional.
1t appeared from the record In the
case that Mrs Annie I. Powers oc-
cupied residence on Church Hill. in
which she had the right of life ten
ancy. II is claimed that during the
years of 1905 to 1915 inclusive, taxes
accrued on the property amounting to
S71461, which remained unpaid.
When Mr.. Powers came into posses
sion of the property. the city claimed
lien against il for the amount OF the
unpaid taxes. and when this was con-
tested by the plaintiff in the Chancery
Court, Judge Moncure gave the city
judgment.
The petition to the Supreme Court
declared that the lien could not be
held against the committeeman for
taxes on property by q life tenant. and
cited similar case which was go de-
cided.
It developed. however. that when
that decision in that case was hand
ed down, the City Council appealed
TO the Legislature. which was in $685.
sion at the time 10 SO amend the city
charter that there should be a lien
on all real estate, and ION each and
every interest therein for city taxes

The petitioners declare this TO be un-
constitutional since Richmond is the

plies. and further THAI the constitu
ton states that the object OF the taxa

be inserted in the law
