PLANNED TO MAKE
 U. $. PAY FOR WAR


 Boston-To show the deep hatred" which he said Germany has held against the United States, former Ambassador James W Gerard last night disclosed facts which he said had been kept from the American people during the past two and a half years. He was the principle at a national defense dinner given by the Pilgrim Public Association.
 MT. Gerard said that Admiral von Tirpitz in thinly yelled statements in the German Reichstag and Prussian Parliament in open discussions pro- posed the institution of unrestricted submarine warfare against England with the intention when England shall have been subdued by hunger, to come over to the United States and collect the price of the war from us"
 T want to tell you" Mr. Gerard said, that if we had not gone into this war, Germany would have full filled it's intention to come over here afterwards and attack us and would have done so almost with the applause of the rest of the world. I tell you also that everything consistent with honor was done to keep us out off this war Beyond that am sure none would have us go.'
 He expressed his belief that citizens of German descent would prove loyal, but he added, If they do not stand with us, think we know where to fes- toon them'
 Mir. Gererd's statement that the war would be a hard one was echoed by Major General Leonard Wood, who said those who are opposing Presi- dent Wilson's policy of universal obli- gatory military service will be respon- sible for thousands of lives if their arguments prevail"

A heavy frost visited this section Monday night, but so far as we have been able to learn, and inquiries have been made in almost every section surrounding Springdale, no damage was done. In some places the plants were covered with a thin coating of ice, but were not killed Some par ties attribute the escape to the extre- mely wet weather and the light of the moon. Several years ago straw berries were frozen solid on the vines the last night in April, and some pre- dieted the same this year Even the tenderest of garden plants escaped the frost of Monday night.

Special attention is called to the ad- vertisement in this issue of Mapor Ownbey, with reference to the war ing, purchasing or using of uniforms cf members of the National Guards Several local parties, who are doubt lessly unaware of the stringent reg ulations with reference to the giving away or purchasing of this clothing will do well to give attention to the warning, and act accordingly. Majos Ownbey has nothing to do in cases of this kind but to carry out the orders of his superior officers, and unless local people refrain, from wearing these uniforms, or parts of same they will likely suffer.
