Days When We Were

U. S. DIDN'T DECLARE WAR
Poughkeepsie Representative Re-
vamps Measures Passed by
Fifth Congress.

Washington, Feb. 25.--With regard
to the widespread belief that Prcsi-
dent Wilson will ask Congress for
authority to arm American merchant
ships for protection against subma-
Tines in the European "war zone," it
is timely to note certain historical
facts called to the attention of the
House by Representative Platt, of
,Poughkcepsie, N. Y, in support of
three bills introduced by himself.
Congressman Platt recounted that
i'll 1893, when England and France
we're at war and were rccklessly dis
regarding the rights of ncutrals, the
United States did not hesitate to take
aggressive defensive measures, com
parativcly feeble, though, our country
was 10 years ago. The laws and
measures then applied TO the problem

were more radical than the Presi-

were more radical than the Presi-
dent would be likely to ask today.
"Both England and France" said
Representative Platt in his speech,
"were interfering in 1893 with the
rights of neutrals OH the seas, but
the French were doing the most
damage at that time, SO that our ac-
ton was taken against France and
not against England.
"One of the laws we enacted au-
thorized American merchantmen to
arm for defense. Another shut off
all commercial intercourse with
France and provided that no ship
leaving the United States should go
directly or indirectly to France or
to any French dependency or trade
with anyone resident in France. I
have taken that law and copied it
almost word for word, substituting
Germany for France If passed
now, it will shut off all commercial
intercourse with Germany and will
prevent any further disputes with
England
'The third law authorized war ves-
scls Of America to go out upon the
high seas and capture French war
vessels or French armed vessels
wherever found; and substituting the
word German for the word french
this bill would give our navy abso-
lutte right today to go out and cap
turc or sink German submarines or
cruisers wherever they may be
found"
After explaining that he had him
self introduced these three bills with
the wording slightly altered to bring
them up to date and make thom suit
the circumstances, the New York Con-
grcssman continued:
"That is what we did in 1898, when
we we're little nation of 100000
people, and surely we cannot be afraid
to do the same thing to protect our
rights now when we are nation OF
100,000,000 people.
eve could do today Just exactly
what we did then. We did not de-
clare war against France. We did
not even formally break off diplo.
matte relations with France. We had
no minister in France at that time, il
is true, and there was no French
minister here, but there was no for.

N OFFICIAL STATEMENT

Pc Z. . o E 3. ~ &
Berlin, Feb. 24..-(Via Sayville,
Feb. 25.)An official statement with
reference to the sinking of the Dutch
steamers by a German submarine is
given out through the medium of the
Overseas News Agency as follows:
According to kilograms received
from Holland on February 20 at s
o'clock in the afternoon several Dutch
ships were destroyed which, with the
agreement Of Germany, wanted to
leave the barred zone in westward
direction from Falmouth and Dart
mouth.
"In answer to this, it is stated in
authoritative quarters, that after the
declaration Of the barred zone, Dutch
ship owners asked the British author
tiles to permit thirty-thre steamers
lying at Falmouth and Dartmouth, or
which twenty were loaded with grain,
for the Dutch Government, to proceed
out of the barred zone, which were
still there after the expiration of the
time fixed. (by Germany February s.
Germany Agreed.
"The German authorities agreed to
this, making an exception in order to
let the twenty cargoes of grain reach
the Dutch Government, but the con-
dition was added that the ships ought
not to sail later than midnight, Feb
ruary 10-11. In this way the ships
would have been able to leave in all
safety the barred zone within the ex-
tended time, which was known to all
submarines, and the termination of
the period, February 21-23.
"The Dutch ship owners accepted
this offer, but were, for unquestion-
able reasons unable to get their ships
out of the English ports within the
allotted time. They renewed their re-
quest for permission to sail later and
were informed that the vessels could
leave Dartmouth and Falmouth eth
er, in full safety, on March II, or
with only relative safety, on Feb
ruary % by an indicated route.
Eighteen of the ships decided to
sail on February %, travelling to-
gether. Word reached Berlin on Feb
ruary 16 of this intention, and, there
upon, the ship owners were expressly
Informed that unconditional safety
could not be granted for February %,
as there was no certainty that all
the submarines engaged in the waters
to be traversed would receive the
wireless order. At the same time it
was insisted that outside the indicat-
ed course no guarantee whatever
would be given with respect to the
danger of mines.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1917-02-28

"In introducing the bills which
would give the President authority
to put a stop to the illegal and in
human German submarine operations
without declaring war, do not mean
to imply that shall not support
him if he shall decide to go further.
l shall support with my whole energy
and adequate measures which the
President may recommend for ending
the preseit intolerable situation"

Washington, Jan. s-The Fedora
Webb-Kenyon Law, designed to pre-
vent liquor shipments from "wet' to
dry states was today declared con-
stitutional by the Supreme Court by
a vote of seven to two.
Liquor legislations - the federal
Webb-Kenyon Act Of March 1,1913,
and West Virginia's prohibition laws
were brought before the Supreme
Court in two test cases of the James
Clark Distilling Co., Of Cumberland,
Md, against the American Express
Co., and Western Maryland Railroad.
Whether prohibition states, under the
Webb Kenyon law or otherwise, may
prohibit shipments Of Intoxicating
liquors, in interstate commerce, for
personal use Of citizens in "dry" ter
ritory was the principal question
raised.
In the two West Virginia cases, the
liquor interests asserted that it was
not necessary for the Supreme Court
to determine constitutionality Of the
Law unless the court

"KATlNKA" MADE A BIG HIT IN
ATLANTA.

More musical comedies as bright
and breezy as "Katinka,," which op-
ened at the Atlanta theatre Monday,
would certainly be welcome to our
fair city. There will be performances
Tuesday and Wednesday night, with
matinee Wednesday,.
More melodious than "The Fireay"
and quite as lively as "High Jinks,"
former products of Messrs. Hauer-
bach and Frimi, authors of this show,
'Katinka' forms clean and unusually
refreshing entertainment. The com
pany, principals and chorus, is quite
as capable and pleasing as that of any
musical comedy which has come to At
lanta this year, and the production is
genteel and thorough. The scenery is
gorgeous and the costumes complete
brilliant effect for each scene. This
Is particularly true of the second act,
the scene Of which, laid in old Stam-
boul, with harem or SO thrown in for
good measure, adapts itself well for
rich scenic effect.
The music throughout is melodious
and catchy, with a spicy dash Of rag
time running through it all. There are
any number of songs that will be re-
membered, such as "Racketty Co.,"
which recurs throughout the piece;
"katinka," "In Vienna" "Your Photo"
and Il Want to Marry Male Quar-
tet."

holds the interest, the gist Of It being
