IGNORES PLEA
OF GERMANY.
UNITED STATES WILL REFUSE
EXTENSION OF BROKEN PAcTs,
SAYS LANSING.
Clear Violations Of Treaties During
War Reason for Not Accepting
"Scrap Of Paper" From
the Kaiser.

Washington. -Germans "clear VIC.
lations" of the treaties Of 1893 and
1928 and her disregard of the canons
of international courtesy" are assign,
ed by the United States as reasons
for refus1 to reaffirm or extend these
agreements.
The note of refusal to Germany
transmitted through DR.. Paul Ritter
the Swiss minister, was made public
on March 26 by the state department
and discloses that this government "ls
seriously considering" whether Ger.
manys conduct has not In effect alb.
rogated these treaties.
The American note, signed by Sec.
rotary Lansing, says:
an view OF the clear violations by
the German authorities of the plain
terms of the treaties in question, sol.
EMMY concluded on the mutual under.
standing that the obligations there.
under would be faithfully kept in view
further of the disregard of the canons
of international courtesy and the com.
ity of nations In the treatment OF In.
nocent American citizens in Germany,
the government OF the United States
cannot perceive any advantage which
would flow from further engagements,
even though they we're merely decla'
ratory of international law, entered
into with the imperial government In
regard to the meaning of any Of the
articles of these treaties or as sup
Elementary to them. In these circum-
stances therefore the government OF
the United States declines to enter
into the special protocol proposed by
the imperial government"
The German note also made public
March 26 was regarded by officials as
practically proposing new treaty.
Nationals Of either country resident
in the other would In case OF war
have been free from internment; most
would have been entitled to remain
indefinitely and those seeking to leave
would have been free to do SO with
all their property, specifically includ'
ing merchant vessels, would have been
free from all sequestration except un.
der laws applying to neutrals also.
have been cancelled, suspended or de-
eiAred void.
The status Of Germans in this coun'
try Is not held to be affected by the
refusal to reaffirm the old treaties
and there will be no general intern
ment or prosecutions. Tho most Sc
rious project now in mind is adoption
of the mild Canadian system, by which
Germans must register and remain
within certain limits unless especially
permitted to leave. Under this plan
only 5000 out of $4,000 Germans In
Canada have been interned.

SECOND EMANCIPATION.

In high moments Abraham Lincoln
dreamed of the coming Of the hour
when in all the land there should be
found no slave, and he lived to see
the dream come true, and with his own
good hand he unlocked the bar that
held a race captive. But that was
not all his dream. He dreamed of the
coming of day when In all the land,
the land he loved, and for which he
gave his life, there should be found
no drunkard made by government
sanction. He died and did not see
that half of his great dream realized,
but his countrymen do not forget. nor
shall they until in the high empire Of
a mighty power they commission an
other man from the selfsame room In
the capitol at Washington to write
the emancipation of the land from the
liquor traffic.-Ex. Gov. ]. Frank
Hanly Of Indiana.

MUNsTEReURc ON SALOON.

The late Prof. Hugo Munsterburg;
of Harvard, recognized authority I'm
America on German ideals, gave to
the public in 1907 this opinion of the
saloon:
There is nothing more degrading
and no more atrocious insult to civil
lied life than the American saloon. 1t
has poisoned the social atmosphere
for the masses; in It the workingman
squanders his savings, and the healthy
man devastates his energies and be-
comes a wreck. Political corruption
lrradiates from the saloon into the
whole public life and thousand ways
lead from the saloon to the peniten-
tiary. 1t Is blessed movement which
now turns with overwhelming energy
against the horrors of this evil and
source Of Infection. There may be dis
agreements as to the best ways and
means, disagreement whether strict
prohibition or education towards tenn
perance Is the more reliable meth
cd; but there is no disagreement as
to the fact that the saloon has to be
wiped out, and the day seems near
indeed when--thanks to women-the
fight against the saloon will be taken
up In almost every state"

Council Of Defense Forms War Plans
In Line With General Military
Budget to Be Laid Be-
fore Congress.

MISUNDERSTANDING taken virtually
every defense measure possible be-
fore the assembling of congress, Presi-
dent Wilson and his advisers in the
executive branch of the government
are concentrating their efforts to pre-
pare for the more sweeping steps for
which congressional authority will be
sought.
The details Of the steps to be rec
commended are held in closest conf.
dence, but officials let it be known on
Saturday that among the rest gen
eral military budget, co-ordinating
many items of expense deemed i'm
perative. will be laid before the house
and senate when the extra session
begins week from Monday.
During the day the Council of Ma.
tional Defense held long conference
with its advisory committee of seven
industrial leaders, who mapped out
mobilization resources; the navy de.
partnent awarded contracts for
twenty-four destroyers, and called a
conference of steel and other material
companies for next week to consider
means of speeding naval construction;
the war department announced that
failure OF the army appropriation bill
at the last session of congress would
not be permitted to handicap the
army's preparations; and regulations
we're promulgated to guide the coun
try's newspapers in a voluntary cen
sorship preventing publication Of de-

Temperance
AssNOtes@
INTEMPERANcE In EUROPE.
Conducted by the National woman's
Christian Temperance Union.)

One of the prize publicity methods
of the brewery and wine interests is
to contrast the amount of drunkenness
In one of our prohibition states, usual
ly Maine, with the amount of drunk
enness In the wine-drinking countries
of France and Italy in an attempt to-
show the superiority of the latter In
the matter of sobriety. So far from
being correct, the statesmen of France
and Italy have long recognized intern
perance as one of the most serious
evils with which they have to contend.
In 1912 the Italian premier, Hon. Luigi
Luzzatti, introduced a bill into the
Italian parliament providing measures
for the reduction of incompetence, and
presented a great mass of evidence
showing that deaths from alcoholism
I'm Italy are rapidly increasing, while
the general death rate Is falling. Prof.
Cesare Lombroso, the world-renowned
alienist, recently deceased. published
in the Archive di Psichatria of which
he was the editor, stirring appeal
from Doctor Antonini, superintendent
of one of the largest insane asylums I'm
Italy, in which he said: "The Hospi-
tails and insane asylums are filed with,
alcoholic patients; consumption pro-
NOTED by alcoholic degeneracy rages;
pellagra joins itself with alcoholic poi
soning; crime is becoming more fire.
quent among the young; the suicides
are legion; the people are growing
steadily weaker and more morally de-
generate" To this appeal, Lombrosor
added his Endorsement, with demand
for stringent legislation. At the Milan
international Congress on Alcoholism,
1913, prominent Italian delegates
spoke strongly of the growing evils
caused by alcohol. Hon. II. e. Falci-
oni. Italian secretary of state, report
ed that deaths from alcoholism have
nearly trebled since 1889. Against Of
fetal declarations like these the argu-
ments of brewers and winemen and
their supporters have no weight.

NO DRINKERS NEED APPLY.

The Winton Motor Car company en-
ploys about 1,200 men in Cleveland, o.,
and almost as many In other cities. A
rule barring drinking employees has
been in force ever since the factory
opened.
"We do not allow any man to enter
our plant with liquor on his breath or
to drink at any time, IL we know It,"
says Mr.. Winton, founder and presi-
dent of the company.
"No well regulated plant can afford
to employ men who drink. Men who
use liquor cannot be at their best"

SPELL OF HOT WEATHER

Mercury Registered 100 Yesterday

test Spell Since 1914 When Mercury
Went to LOG for Days
Some hot spell, this. Everybody
and his wife and family have discov-
cred that for themselves, but maybe
you don't know just how hot it is,
officially, and maybe it will be some
comfort to know that officially, as
we'll as unofficially and unadulter-
atedly, iteis hot.
Yesterday and Tuesday the records
Of Mr.. B. M. Davis, local observer,
show that the thermometer went to
100. The hottest day of the summer
prior to Tuesday was June "a, when
the mercury made the same record.
That is the highest record made since
July, 1914, when for two days, July
2e and 27, the mercury went to LOG,
the hottest ever recorded here since
MI. Davis has been keeping the rec
ords, some 19 or 20 years. For week
in July 1914 the record shows over
100. In June, 1914, week beginning
23rd, the thermometer registered from
100 to 103.

Want New Road in Globe Swamp

Mr.. R. NJ. Phillips and other lead
ing citizens of the Globe Swamp sec
ton will appear before the county
commissioners at their regular first
Monday meeting Of next week and
make another effort to get a road
extended to the Greek road from the
Globe swamp. Down where Mr.. Phil
lips lives the folks are bottled up
and it is inconvenient getting out and
getting mail A road about a mile
long across the swamp would put
them in easy reach of the Creek
road and they would have the ad-
vantage of q good road all the way
to Lumberton. AS it is now they
have to go three miles out of their
way to get to Lumberton, and though
Boardman is almost in hollering dis
tance they have to 60 long way
around to get there. They thought
they had that road year ago, and
the folks went to work and cut it
out, but the matter has been held up.
It is to be hoped the people of the
Globe Swamp will at last be given
the relief they so much need. It
looks like shame to keep folks bot
tied up like that when mile cut
would put them on a good road.

Local Lumber Mills Busy on Orders
of Lumber for CantOHments

Uncle Sam is requiring a tremend-
ous amount Of lumber these days for
building cantonments, and local !um-
Der mills are supplying part OF It.
Mr.. w. F. Beery, representing a New
York company that has the contract
for building cantonment No. 2 at
Camp Long Island, has been making
Lumberton headquarters for about a
month, visiting mills in this section
of the State and expediting ship
ments. The Kingsdale mill here has
contract for 8 carloads of lumber
for this cantonment. The Buffers
Lumber Co. at Boardman has shipped
38 cars and has ten more cars to ship.
The Waccamaw Lumber Co., the Alan
Lumber Co., and other mills in this
section are shipping lumber for this
cantonment. The great problem is
to get the lumber shipped quickly, ,and
all other freight must make way for
these shipments. This sort Of freight
has precedence over every other class,
and it's movement requires an i'm.
mense number Of cars. Even after
these cantonments are built it is
hardly probable that the cars used II
hauling this lumber will be released
for movement Of the ordinary run Of
freight.
