Washington.-A material decrease
of 115,0O5, 900 in the worlds meat-pro-
ducing animals is shown in a compari-
son of the present with pre-war con-
ditions, the food administration an
nounced. While the increase of cat
tie in the United States was 7.079,o00
during this period, the total world de-
crease was 2S,0SO.O0O. Sheep decreased
100000 in the United States and 54.-
100000 in the world. Hogs increased
6,275,O0O in the United States but de-
creased 32,425, 900 in the worlds sup
ply.
The demand made by the war on the
American meat supply is further
shown in the growth of our meat ex-
PORTS for the year ending June 80,
1917, which were 1883, 10000 pounds
As compared with 493,848,000 pounds
for three-year pre-war average.
These exports have chiefly gone to
Our allies, whose capital stock Of ami
mails has decreased by 100000 head.
1.-THE impact of European demand
upon our animal products will be
maintained for long period of years
after peace" the statement says. I'VE
can contemplate high range of
prices for meat and for animal prod
ucts for many years to come. We
must undertake to meet the demand.
not only during the war, to enable our
allies to continue to fight, but we
must be prepared to meet the demand
after the war. Our herds cannot be
increased in a single night or in q
single year"

Evidence of the bad faith Of

the Imperial German govern
ment soon piled up on every
hand. Country official agents
of the, Central Powers protect
ed from criminal prosecution by
! diplomatic immunity cOnspired
against our internal peace, p]ac-
ed spies and agents provocateurs
throughout the length and
breadth Of our land, and even
in high positions Of trust in de-
partments Of our government.
While expressing cordial
friendship for the people Of the
United States, the government
Of Germany had it's agents at
work both in Latin America and
Japan.
They were melting to insur-
rection in Cuba, in Haiti, and
in Santo Domingo; their hostile
hand was stretched out to take
the Danish Islands; and every
where in South America they
were abroad sowing the seeds Of
dissension, trying to stir up one
nation against another and all
against the United States.
Recall Of the Austro-Hungar-
ian ambassador and Of the Ger
man military and naval at
taches was demanded. Proof Of
their criminal violations Of our
hospitality was presented to
their governments. But these
governments in reply offered no
apologies nor did they issue re-
primands. It became clear that
such intrigue was their settled
policy.
In the meantime the attacks of
the German submarines upon the
lives and property Of American
citizens had gone on; the protests
Of our government were now
sharp and ominous; and this ma
ton was rapidly being drawn in
to state Of war:
The break would have come
sooner if our government had not
been restrained by the hope
that saner counsels might still
prevail in Germany. For it was
well known to us that the Ger
man people had to a very large
extent been kept in ignorance Of
many Of the secret crimes of
their government against us.
The peace move Of the Ger
man governments identical
note on behalf Of the German
Europe, Austria -Hungaria, Bull
garia, and Turkey, sent
through neutral powers on Dec
ember II, 1916, to the govern
ments Of the allies proposing ne
gotiations for peace; and from {
t thousand sources, official and I'm
official, the word came to Wash
5 ingtOn that unless the neutrals
used their influence to bring thu
!. war to an end on terms dictat
l ed from Berlin, Germany and he
: allies would consider themselve
l henceforth free from any obi
e cations to respect the rights O
| neutrals. The Kaiser ordered
: the neutrals to exert pressure OF
S the entente to bring the war t.
e an abrupt end, or to beware O
the consequences.
e On January 16, 1917, unknowI
d to the people Of Germany, Her
+ Zimmerman, their Secretary O.
d Foreign Affairs, had secretly dis
t. patched a note to their ministe
Il in Mexico, informing him Of tn
h German intention to repudiat
the Sussex pledge and instruct
s. ing him to offer to the Mexica
l. government New Mexico an

The commonwealth. (Scotland Neck, N.C.) 1896-1929, 1917-07-03

United States Of America in as
sembled, that the state Of war
between the United States and
the Imperial German Govern
ment which has thus been thrust
upon the United States is hereby
formally declared; and that
President be, and he is hereby,
authorized and directed to en-
ploy the entire naval and mill
tary forces Of the United States
and the resources Of the govern
ment to carry ON war against the
Imperial German Government;
and to bring the conflict to a sue
cessful termination all the re-
sources Of the country are here
by pledged by the congress OF
the United States.''
Neutrality was a thing Of the
past. The time had come when
the Presidents proud prophecy
was fulfilled:
"There will come that day
when the world will say, This
America that we though was full
Of multitude Of contrary
counsels now speaks with the
Great volume Of the heart 5
accord, and that great heart Of
America has behind it the SUI
preme moral force Of righteous
ness and hope and the liberty OF
mankind.
The commonwealth. (Scotland Neck, N.C.) 1896-1929, 1917-07-03

Count Bernstorf had reached !
Berlin and Mr.. Gerard was in
Washington.
And so, having exhausted
every resource Of patience, our
government on the 18th Of
March finally issued orders to
place armed guards on our mer-
chant ships.
Judging the German govern
ment now in the light Of our
own experience through the long
and patient years Of our honest
attempt to keep the peace, we
could see the Great Autocracy
and read her record through the
war.
With fanatical faith in the
destiny Of German kultur as the
system that must rule the world,
the Imperial Government &C
lions have through years Of
boasting, double dealing, and
deceit tended toward aggression
upon the rights Of others. And
if there still be any doubt as to
which nation began this war,
there can no uncertainty as to
which one was most prepared,
most exultant at the chance, and
ready instantly to march upon
other nations = even those who
had given no ofense.
All this we know from our
own experience with the Imperi-
al Government. AS they have
dealt with Europe, SO they have
dealt with us and with all man
kind. And so out Of these years
the conviction has grown that
until the German Nation is di-
vested Of such rulers democracy
cannot be safe.
On the End of April, 1917, the
president read to the new con-
gress his message, in which he
asked the representatives Of the
nation to declare the existence Of
state of war, and in the early
hours Of the 9Th of April the
house by an overwhelming vote
accepted the joint resolution
which had already passed the
senate:
Whereas the Imperial Ger
man government has committed
repeated acts Of war against the
government and the people Of
the United States of America
Therefore be it
Resolved by the senate and
house Of Representatives Of the
The commonwealth. (Scotland Neck, N.C.) 1896-1929, 1917-07-03


caught this nation by surprise.
The peoples Of Europe had had
at least some warnings Of the
coming storm, but to us such a
blind, savage onslaught on the
ideals Of civilization had appear
ed impossible.
The war was incomprehenslble.
Either side was championed here
by millions living among us who
were Of European birth. Their
contradictory accusation threw
our thoughts into disarray, and
in the first chaotic days we could
see no clear issue, that affected
our national policy.
But in the very first days Of
the war our government foresaw
that complications on the seas
might put us in grave risk of be-
ing drawn into the conflict. No
neutral nation could foretell
what violations Of it's vital in
terests at sea might be attempted
by the belligerents.
For any dissensions that might
arise, no arbitration treaty ex-
listed between the United States
and the German government.
This was from no fault Of ours.
We had tried to establish with
Germany the same treaty rela-
tions we had with Great Britain
and 10 other nations. But these
overtures had been rejected. And
this action on the part Of the I'm
perlal German government was
only one example Of it's whole
SYSTEM Of diplomacy.
In the first year Of the war the
government Of Germany stirred
up among it's people feeling OF
resentment against the United
States on account Of our insist
ence upon our right as a neutra
nation to trade in munitions will
the belligerent powers.
Their appeals to us in the pres
ent war were not to observe in
ternational law, but to revise i
III their interest.
To write into international
law that neutrals should no
trade in munitions would be t
hand over the world to the rul
Of the nation with the larges
armament factories. Such
policy the United States Of An
erica could not accept.
But our principal controvers
with the German government
and the one which rendered tn
situation at once acute, rose OF
OF their announcement of a Sc
zone where their submarine
would operate in violation Of a
accepted principles of intern;
tlonal law. Our indignation
such threat was soon rendere
passionate by the sinking Of tt
Lusitania. This attack upon OF
rights was not only grossly
legal; it defed the fundament;
concepts Of humanity.

MYSTERIOUS STEAMER
T h oug g h t to H av e
Brought Supplies to
Brazilian Coast for
Submarine Base

Buenos Ayres. Dec. T.-Brazilian papers
received here today are filled with ac-
counts of the movements of mysterious
German steamer off the Brazilian coast
a few weeks ago The newspapers assert
that the vessel unloaded an immense car
GO of heavy cases at CerquerTa and Ar
macao. Several days later the steamer
returned to Armacao with additional car
go. which the newspaper accounts say it
is believed she received from a larger
ship out of sight of land. From Ar1na ca o
she proceeded to Calouro, where anoth ar
portion of the cargo was unloadeL.
These ports are not guarded and il IS
asserted the cargoes landed were snug
g!ed away. Later the German vessel was
sighted close to shore at San Pedro de
Aldera, where two persons are now under
arrest as result of their relations with
the crew. They are charged with being
spies.
The newspapers say the steamer disap-
peared as mysteriously as she came and
that Brazilians believe she brought sup
plies for submarine base.

GERMANY ADMITS
AIM AFRICAN WEDGE

Ottawa. Dec. 27.-A London dispatch
to the Reuter- agency here says:
In an article entitled The World
Political independence of German East
Africa the Cologne Gazette frankly
confesses that Germany has for years
aimed at the creation of q German
wedge dividing Africa from sea to sea.
Although Germany in 1911, by treaty
with France apparently made final
remuneration of the idea of a great
colonial empire she really aimed at
the creation of a German Belgian
economic area in the Congo basin from
the Indian ocean to the Atlantic Thus
when the var commenced. Germany
was deliberately exploiting her in
comparable geographical position in
East Africa
The Gazette says this position con
stituted q wedge between the Eng
lish claims to sole domination in East
Africa and South Africa-a dividing
and immovable wedge
"'All our wishes will be realized
the paper continues, only if by our
battles in Europe we can compel Eng
land to recognize us as an equal colo
nial power.

PORTLAND COAL DEALERS
NOT BOOKING ORDERS

! Portland, Me, Dec. I.-Some Of the To-
cal wholesale coal dealers are not book
ing any orders for future delivery. The
coal situation is in such a condition that
| it is impossible to foresee what will hap
pen in the future and to prevent disap-
pointments the dealers believe it wise to
take no orders for delivery for few
weeks. Orders are being delivered that
were accepted a few weeks ago but as the
supplies are limited no guarantee is made
relatives TO deliveries henceforth.
/ One of the managers of local company
said today: I'VE are in the hands Of the
government. We have to do their bidding
and for that reason nothing is sure. We
! have shipments on the way here but as
! the government can commander any
shipments it sees fit. our shipments are
! liable TO be taken by the government for
any purposes they may desire.
We will continue to make deliveries
according to our receipts. We have
had our full equipment delivering coal
and in some instances people have
sent their teams here and we supply
them in sufficient quantities to get
| them over the extremely cold snap.
We are in hopes that the situation
will clear in a short time when we
will be better able to supply our GUS
! toners.
There never was time when the
conditions in the coal business were SO
disturbed as they are today. It is due
to war conditions and the fact that
so many features enter into the buy
ing and distribution of the commod-
ity."
The extreme cold snap today sent
many to the coal yards, some hiring
truckmen and small outfits to get a
small amount of fuel for immediate
! use.
