No Time to Talk of Peace;
 No Place Here for the Neutral
Baptist Minister Declares There's Time to Fight as Well
 as to Pray, and This Seems to Be the Time.

great president and congress, offering ourselves and our all in defense Of our country No white feather for us, but the Flag, the Flag of the Union.
 Take a Stand.
 "In this supreme hour there is no middle ground between the forces at issue, even as there is no middle ground between right and wrong, or good and evil. When the forces of evil array themselves against the forces of good, involving in the issue peace, freedom, human rights, and life itself, there is no middle ground. Such maelstrom sweeps everything before it, compelling every man to be for or against. A murderous marau- der invading mans home, destroy ing his property, killing his children as he breaks into that home, is not Q be throttled with the weapons of the neutral or the pacifist. He must be overcome by such means and such weapons as will stop a maddened brute-weapons of destruction, not a peace tract, not the extended olive branch. but knockout body blow. And if the blood-thirsty wretch showed signs of returning reason then let the preachments of the pa cifist be heard seeking to convert him from his mad career. To undertake to do sooner would be but to coax a mad dog, or to cast pearls before swine. Thus viewed, there is liter ally tim efor al things, even a time to fight as we'll as to pray. And when this great liberty loving nation .solemnly declares it's time to take LII arms in defense of our country's rights there is no more place with, in all our boundaries for the neutral and the pacifist until the issue has been fought out, and peace with honor and liberty reestablished by the over throw of the enemy.
 The Outlook.

of Europe is now flaming into flame, and which will continue to burn un- til there bursts forth a conflagration of protest and strength which shall sweep over this world, consuming in it's wake the enemies of liberty, justice and democracy, and reveal Tn it's reflected light to the other na- tions of the world the full grown giant of the Western hemisphere in his accustomed role of protecting the weak and defenseless and upholding the traditions and principles of the fathers.
 We have no quarrel with the Ger man people and we desire no quarrel with the German people. Throughout the length and breadth of this great land we find them-thrifty, frugal, up- right, honorable citizens, of whom America may justly be proud, and who, I have no doubt, amidst the conflict of emotions that must rend their souls at this Hateful time in the upward trend of the nations progress, we shall find as true and as loyal and as devoted to the principles of liberty and i justice and law and to the country of their adoption, to the country who has showered it's multitudinous blessings of peace upon them; as true and as loyal, say, to the government of the United States as any of us who have never known any other language or land.
 "But we do war with, and we do seek to overcome, and we shall over come that military caste of Prussian noblemen who have dominated the af- fairs of that great people for the last l 50 years, and who is now using that splendid and magnificent yeomanry as so many pawns and puppets to more firmly fix their autocratic power and subdue the noblest emotion of the human heart. l am sorry that in the declaration of war that the govern ment of the United States did not write in indelible letters these words, We shall never treat for peace with a Hohenzellern.'
 l State Senator Creed Caldwell, who was the last speaker of the evening, and whose ability as forensic orator is so widely known, made the closing address. He stressed the points brought uot by the other speakers, and in his peroration called upon the audience to remember all that Ameri- ca stands for, all that it means, and then to keep firm in the faith, in patriotism, in the willingness and the determination to stand back of the president and the congress, in any thing and all things t may do, to bring the war to 8 successful termi- nation.

No time to talk of peace

NO time to talk or peace
 Rev. s. M. Ellis O, Mississippi, minister of the Baptist church, and father of Mrs. E. K. Wiles of Pine Bluff, who he is visiting at this time, has little patience with the American citizen who would do his country in- fury at this time by talking of peace. Tn a statement made to The Graphi: yesterday, Rev. Ellis says:
 No Middle Ground.
 Our country is now involved ii the great world war. We are thereby confronted with a new situation. No longer can the American citizen claim an attitude of neutrality. By an act of our government in declaring wa, against Germany the middle ground position has been obliterated; and henceforth the man who is not for his country is against his country. By virtue of the situation such man is more dangerous than an openly de- clared enemy in our midst. The open enemy is to be taken in hand and disposed of on sight. The neutral, the middle ground man goes aboIt the land dividing the people, obstruct- ing the unifying forces with Jeremiai woes, crying: Mistake, mistake; we brought this war upon ourselves; we are not prepared for war, why de- clare war? It's Wall streets war; tho rich corporations have brought ol this war, let them fight it, and not we who don't want war. The paci- fist will even dare to cry, We cant. we can't whip Germany. Even so, 2 million such degenerates lined up in soldier equipment, with mollycod- de hearts fluttering in their breasts would be only as so many grass hop pers before the enemy. That crowd can do no good in this crisis, but they can do serious harm to their country. Our fair Southland affords no refuge for the disloyal of any stamp. We stand four square in support of our

It's worth all things to live in such a day, and to have part i1' cause that involves the life and freedom of man. kind. From every quarter comes the response, answering our nations call. Let Pine Bluff speak her message back to Washington:
 "'Mr. President, we are with you, to every man, woman and child, and await your call.'
 Yours, for my country.

WILLIAM PENN CITED TO COURT

Philadelphia, Pa., April 7.-Unless William Penn appears in the Della ware county court at Media on Mon day, he is in danger of losing 7s silver English pennies a year, ground rental on 8 tract of 79 acres of land in Springfield township. Judge, Bromall has ordered Penn to appear, on order of w. I. Schaffer, a lawyer.
 In looking up title to some land, Schaffer discovered that. 232 years ago Penn had an agreement whereby he was to receive. a silver penny for each acre, to be paid on the first day of each year.
 The claim has long since been %outlawed," because Penn and his heirs have not appeared to claim the rent, but the agreement is still on the books, and schaffer wants it formal ly removed.
