FIGHT TO THE FINISH.
CHANCELLOR DECLARES kAlS-
ER,S PLAN is TO BAL lie
UNTIL VICTORY.
NO PEACE WITHOUT LAND
Declares 1--WE Will Win if We Hold
Out"-Refuses to Announce Peace
Terms-Zimmerman and Hell
ferich Must Quit Cabinet.

Berne. Switzerland. July 11.-Ac-
cording to Berlin newspapers, the Ger
man chancellor, DR.. Won Bethmahn-
Hollweg, said TO members OF the reich-
stag:
81 repeat that the formula OF peace
without annexations is unacceptable
TO us. We cannot declare our terms OF
peace. We must fight and conquer.
The chancellor made a strong at
tack on Matthias Erzberger, leader Of
the Catholic center, who assaiied the
pan-Germans in his address before the
main committee last week and adV0-
Gated peace without annexations or IN
IDENTITIES.
Dr. Won Bethmann-Hollweg said Herr
Erzberger's attitude was unpatriotic-
"Sure We Can VIM"
According to the summary OF the
chancellor's speech before the mann
committee, published in the Lokal An
zeiger of Berlin he said:
1--WE must continue the war with our
whole energies. l do not deny that we
have great difficulties to overcome, bat
so have our enemies. We shall see
whether their difficulties or ours are
greater.
II am sure we can win if we hold
out.
Nothing was further from my inten-
ton than to cling to my post, but now
it is question of protecting the IA
therland from injury, and for this rea-
son l consider it necessary to retain
my post
For Modification of Diver War
Although Matthias Erzberger's now
famous speech before the reichstag
main committee last week which pre-
cipitated the political crisis, has been
suppressed by the German censor, "a.
reply to it by Count Won Reventlow re-
veals that it was in part demand for
a modification or abandonment of the
submarine campaign, with the charge
that it is failure.
Kaiser to Order TWO Out.
1t is reported in Amsterdam, says
the correspondent of the Exchange

eign affairs have been decided upon

MORE WHlSKEY TAKEN
 BY SHERIFF'S FORtE
Brand New Trunks Four ''Grips" and Bundle Contain G9 Quarts of
 Wiliskey. ~.''

The vault in the sheriff's office is beginning to lock like a liquor ware house, also with somewhat of a re- lsemblance to a secondhand shop. Whiskey and beer, in pints, half pints and quarts, occupy several shelves, and strewn about are suit cases, trunks and hand bags.
 The stock was added to yesterday evening when Deputy Sheriffs J. L.. McBurnett. J. Wes. Baldwin and Henry Williams brought in an auto load of booze, seized yesterday evening upon the arrival at Tamo of the Iron Noun tain train, which is coming to be designated as the "whiskey special" :"
 SiXty-nine quarts of whiskey was in the lot of contraband seized, the officers at the same time arrestlng James Towns and z. L. Long, negroes, who were carrying three suit cases, a hand bag and bundle. all contain ing whiskey. Long and Towns were taken before Justice of the Peace Young of Richland township and re- leased under bonds of $500 each to appear for trial on charges of violat- Ing tue pOuC uIy law ny pl.ASHito whiskey into the state. All the grips" were new, indicating they apparently were purchased principally for the purpose of "bringing home the boOZe.'
 A brand new trunk, filled with whiskey of the James E. Pepper brand, which had been checked as baggage from Monroe 10 Tamo. was seized by the officers, who suspect the identity of the persons responsible for it's im- portation, but as yet are without sui ficient evidence to warrant arrests.
 "Theyve made the law" said Sheriff Williams last night as he dragged the trunk into the vault, "and l am going to enforce it.'
 All the whiskey seized last ni2ht. as well as that confiScated previously at Fairfield, bears the label of liquor dealers at Monroe, La. the nearest town to Arkansas where whiskey may be purchased. Liquor is being sold out of Memphis, but not in Memphis. The next nearest oasis is Dallas, Texas
