JAPAN EXPLAINS
COLD MOVEMENT
FROM AMERICA
Part of Money to Be Used
In Loans to Great Britain
and France.

Tokyo, May 31.-The heavy move
ment of gold from the United States
to Japan was explained by Kazue
Shoda, minister of finance, as being
due principally to the fact that the
Indebtedness of Great Britain and
France to Japan is being partly
through America. NJ Shoda revealed
the fact that Japan is now negotiat-
ing with Great Britain and France
with the purpose of making war loans
to them while private Japanese con-
Germs, including the special and in
dustrial banks, are planning the pur-
chase OF British and French securities
in the United States. These opera
lions Will reduce the outflow of
American gold and relieve the burden
OF Japan's accommodating supplies.
M. Shoda emphasized the fact that
the trade balance was not an exact
gauge of the situation, pointing out
that Japan now has a yearly income
or 300,00O,OOO yen from abroad in
the form of ocean freights, insurance
and remittances. from Japanese in
other countries, He also called at
tention to the fact that British dis
count restrictions made necessary the
sending of specie to India in settle
ment of the Importation yearly of
cotton to the value of 200, 900 yen.
Japan's specie holdings are in
creasing at the rate of about 81, 0OO,-
600 yen monthly, M Shoda estimated,
the present total being about $50, ooo,-
600. Only 100000 yen gold has
been imported from America since
Jan. 1, he said.
The loans to be made to Great Bri-
tain and France will give valuable
aid to the Entente, in the opinion of
M. Shoda- He was hopeful that ia
pans proposal to the United States to
join in the Chinese loan group and
her suggestion that American capital
lists cooperate with Japanese in Chi
ma would be adopted.
''The government is convinced he
said, shat the mutual interests of
Japan and the United States would be
served by cooperation in China
which would establish closer general
financial relations and permit adjust
ments in times of crisis

TEXAS WILL AID
DROUTH SUFFERINGS
Fifty Counties Suffering From
Worst DrOuth In History
Of That State.

The following dispatch from
Austin, Texas, dated September 3,
will be of interest to our readers:
What is said to be the worst
drOuth that has visited West Texas
since the agricultural development
of that region began more than 20
years ago, has prevailed for the last
several months. 1t has bronght
disaster and ruin to thousands of
farmers.
In order to meet the immediate
needs of these sufferers there is
pending in the legislature a bill pro-
yiding for the appropriation of $500
900 with which to purchase feed
Stuffs for their livestock and seed
for their next years planting. 1t is
claimed that this proposed appTO-
priatiOn is far FROM sufficient to
meet the requirements of the farm
ers of the drOuth-striCken region
and the Legislature has adopted a
resolution requesting the Federal
Government to also render financial
assistance to the people of the af-
fected region in order that they
may do their share next year
towards increasing the food and
feedstuff supplies of the country.
Some idea of the seriousness of
the crop failure in the part of West
Texas embracing more than so
counties may be had when it is
stated that in normal seasons that
affected territory produces about
35,000,000 bushels of kaffir corn
and maize, about 100000 bales of
cotton and enormous quantities of
other valuable products, including
feedstuffs. The region is one Of the
principal hog-producing parts of the
state. 1t is also noted for its eX-
tensive cattle interests.
The drouth has been 50 severe
that upon many of the farms ab-
solutely nothing is being grown.
Apple and other orchard trees are
dying. Many Of the ranchmen
have moved their cattle to other
districts on account of the lack of
grass,
Normally that part of the state
receives an average of about 26
inches of rainfall annually. During
the past twelve months, however,
the precipitation has amounted to
less than six inches in many of the
localities.

GERMANYS BAD PLIGHT

That conditions in Germany are
going from bad to worse is evident
from the scanty information which
succeeds in running the gauntlet of
the German censors According to
press dispatches from the capitals of
neutral nations bordering Germany
The Berlin municipal authorities
have prohibited persons bathing in
their homes. The order was issued
to save heat and light.
Germany casualty lists are no
longer permitted to leave the empire,
Smoking in the streets is prohib-
tied in Germany, due to the decline
of tobacco stocks,
German girls employed in Swift
! zerland as nurses and servants have
been called home to help in harvest
work,
Crippled German soldiers are be-
Ing forced into the army again,
and wounded men are taken from
the hospitals for duty before their
treatment is completed,
All bells in Germany having been
used for war purposes, orders have
been issued that all pipe organs be
accustomed for munition makers.

INDICTMENT OF PRUSSIANISM

The object of this war is to de-
liver the free people of the world
from the menace and the actual
power Of a vast military establish
ment controlled by an irresponsible
government, which, having secretly
planned to dominate the world,
proceeded to carry out the plan
without regard either to the sacred
obligations of treaty or the long
established practices and lone
cherished principles Of international
action and honor; which chose its
own time for the war; delivered
the blow fercely and suddenly;
stopped at no barrier either of law
or mercy; swept the whole continent
with the tide Of blood-not the
blood Of soldiers only but the blood
Of innocent women and children
also, and Of the hopeless poor

lively.

New Oolenoy School
House Is Completed

OOLENOY, April 22.-The finish
ing Of a coat of white paint practi-
cally completes the replacing of the
Oolcnoy graded school building that
was destroyed by fire few days be-
fore the Christmas holidays. The
work was begun the 3D. of January.
During that month and the one fol-
lowing the greater part of the work
was done-without even glance
at the weather calendar for that
length of time we can readily recall
those extreme conditions-with stole
perseverance Il squad of hands work
cd at the building while others, with
teams oftcntimcs ankle deep in mud
or with their Shoulder to the wheel"
OF their own or a neighbours wagon,
to help out of bad pull. were en-
gagged IN the arduous task Of laying
down the !umber and other building
materials.
The contract was let to w. f.
Hendricks for the sum of $2,lOO,
but those who are in position to es-
innate the actual cost are of the
opinion that this will fall far short.
The material throughout has been of
tho best. The structure is Il two-storv
one, the lower to be used for class
rooms. the upper to be fitted up as
an auditorium. 1t is modelled from a
plan given out by the State and is in
every respect modern. Plans abreast
of the times were insisted upon. In
many respects it is superior to the
old ding--mistalle which were
made in the one were corrected in
the other.
The spirit in which the citizens
met this crisis which arose ut the
destruction of their school building
is most noteworthy. They had sus-
tanned a great loss-the loss Of a
building which was practically new
"a small debt still hung over it. 1t
had been a hard struggle to get it.
Many were opposed to the undertak-
ing. They thought that it would be
out of keeping with other surround
ings--but at last it was built-a
pioneer, it stood in all this up-sec-
ton: With its white coat, nesting
cuts of it were shown in educational
Journals. Passers5y noticed and com
mcnted on it. Old people nodded ap-
provinglN ut it and spoke of the prog
rcss of the times. All were proud Of
It,. But history is ever repeating it.

Planting More Food
StuffS in PickenS Co.

Farmers from every section Of Pickens
, county report that more foodstuff is
being planted in this county this year
than ever before. The farmers seem
to be awake to the situation and know
that the salvation Of the country de-
pends upon them.
People in town are also paying more
attention to planting gardens. DR..
Hallum at the Pickens Drug Co. store
says that he has sold more garden seeds
this spring than ever before, and the
same is true at other stores
The present indications are that with
good seasons the people of Pickens
county will not have to call on other
sections of the country for something
to eat this yeBr.
