Won GOETZ PREDICTED In 1898
CONQUEST OF WORLD.
Plotted to Capture Paris First, Con-
quer England and Then to Crush the
United States.

Washington, Sept. 24.-Prediction
that Germany would wage a war for
world conquest in about Is years was
made to the late Admiral Dewey at
Manila in 1898 by Capt. Won Goetz Of
the German imperial navy. Senator
Lewis today told the senate.
Quoting a report from Admiral
Dewey to the navy department, the
Illinois senator said Won Goetz told
the American naval officer Germany
would capture Paris as the first step
to subjugating England. The taking
OF New England and Washington was
to follow in order that Germany might
secure an enormous cash indemnity.
The wiping out of the Monroe doc
trine and the control Of South Amerl-
ca by Germany also was predicted by
the German officer. declared Senator
Lewis. who was discussing peace nego-
tiations.

the face Of it now, "any senator who
speaks here or elsewhere against any
measure of his country lends himself
to the enemy.
| Characterizing the German reply to
Pope Benedict's peace note as "Prus-
sian peace hypocrisy and an affront
both to the pope and President Will
son, Senator Lewis scored what he
termed 'laggards in patriotism" and
those who argue against the war.
''The country guarantees free
speech to every American" the speak
er said. "but that man who uses free
speech against America is not the
American to whom free speech is
guaranteed. In this country there can
be no free speech to any man to de-
stroy the freedom Of his fellowman.
There can never be liberty of speech
to an American citizen to destroy the
liberty Of the American nation"

COTTON SEED REGULATION,
'NIVEN SENDS PLEA TO HOOVER
FOR REPRESENTATION
Editor of Southern Farming Asks
About Rumor of Food Control of
COttOnseed Products.

l.. A. Niven, known throughout
south Carolina for his interest i'm and,
knowledge of agricultural subjects.
has written to Herbert G. Hoover
CHAIRMAN OF the food administration.
inqulrlng if cotton growers had rep-
resentation in conferences between
Mr. Hoover and cotton seed crushers,
IN consequence of which it is rumored
the crushers have voluntarily passed
under control of the food admins
tratlon. MIR. Niven is now editor of
southern Farming, published in At
lanta, and in this position speaks for
the farmers of the South. The let
ter follows:
1T is publicly intimated that the
cottonseed crushing industry is about
to be voluntarily under your con-
troll similar to the sugar industry
This intimation is based upon confer.
ences your bureau has held with cer-
tain cotton seed crushers and cotton
oil rcfiners.
"Will you kindly inform me wheth-
er the cotton growers Of the South
were represented at such conferences
or what representative cotton grow.
ers have been heard by you on this
subject?
Permit me respectfully to repre-
sent that the cotton growers of the
South have a very large and impor-
tant interest in this matter. Their
concern is greater the present sea
son than ever before. for the reason
that raw cotton seed at this time pos
sesses an intrinsic worth and market
value wholly apart from the price
value or quotations for lint cotton OF
any grade. Whether middling upland
cotton sells for 20 cents or 80 cents
a pound has relatively slight rela.
tion to the true value of raw c0ttor
seed from our 1917 crop. This fol
the reason that cotton seed meal OF
cake is more imperatively needed a:
a protein food. also as nitrogenou'
fertilizer, because of the unprece
dented scarcity of other of the highes
concentrates, ammoniates or nitrates
For years it has been the avowet
purpose of cotton crusherS and cottor
refiners to buy their cotton seed a
the lowest possible prices, and to sci
their by-products and oil at the high
est price obtainable. For this reason
the personally excellent gentlemen il
the crushing industry should not b,
expected to represent cotton growers
The latter should have equal voic,
and vote with the crushers and refiner!
in any voluntary plan for government
control of this vastly important in
dustry, or if such control later should
be required by federal statute, cot
ton growers would still be entitled tG
representation in all conferences. rep
resentation at all considerations OF
the subject.
Believing that 1t is your policy tC
consider the interest of producers as
well as Of fabricators, distrubters and
consumers, Orange Judd Southern
Farming respectfully submits the
above in behalf of the cotton grow
ers of our, Southern States"

THE PLATE ON THE MUMMY.
Curious Story Of Prophecy That Was
Fulfilled

Visitors ut museums often comment
on the sadness of the present state OF
the Egyptian mummies who were
buried with such great care in hope
that their rest might never be disturb
ed. But such thoughts never enter the
minds Of natives who pillage their an
cestors' graves, nor do they disturb the
more civilized explorer. 10 supersti-
tiOus person, however, story or a
mummy that II. Cation WOodville tells
In Random Recollections" might have
o sinister meaning.
After the i'll fated expedition to re-
lieve Gordon, Walter Ingram brought
to London the mummy Of an Egyptian
high priest that he had bought from an
Arab near Assuan. When he unrolled
the mummy he found on its chest a
gold plate. upon which was inscribed:
"He who disturbs my rest and takes
me to distant land shall die a violent
death. His bones shall neer be found.
They shall be scattered to the four
points Of the world"
Shortly afterward Ingram went to
Somaliland on big game expedition.
He had four bore rifle and when In
the elephant region got two good tusk-
ers. So he lent his rifle to one Of his
companions, who had not so heavy q
weapon, to give him better chance Of
bagging an elephant. He himself
mounted pony and went off with
three Somalis, armed with .450 ex-
press, which shoots bullets Of only 2GO
grains, to bag an antelope or perhaps a
panther.
As luck would have 1t, Ingram came
upon a fine old rogue elephant with a
magnificent pair Of tusks. 1t was too
great temptation to be resisted. Gal

bullets fattened upon the animals
skull and only made him very angry.
Ingram galloped out Of reach and re-
loaded, rode up and fired again. with q
similar result; again galloped away and
reloaded, and SO on until he had ex-
pended all Of the cartridges.
AS he was galloping away after his
last shot, with the furious brute in pur.
suit, his pony suddenly stopped stock
still, apparently for no reason what

red in the bed of a dry nullah and was
witnessed by the three Somalis, who
had climbed for safety to the tops OF
trees. They were armed only with
spears, which, Of course, were useless
weapons against the elephant. After
the brute had gone they climbed down,
dug hole with their spears, placed the
body Of poor Ingram In it and returned
to camp with their sad story.
Some time afterward Mrs. Ingram
the hunters mother, sent out an expe.
dition to find and bring back to Eng
land the remains Of her son. The spot
was found, but two rainy seasons had
passed, and the dry nullah had become
roaring river that had washed away
the remains to the four points Of the
earth. Thus was the prophecy fulfilled
