 Complete understanding of America s attitude in the war-unreserved CO., operation in the fight of democracy against the German military menace Wilnout entangling political alliances was expressed by Foreign Minister Bal four, head of the British war commits sion, in a statement today to newspaper correspondents.
 T am told,' said Mr Balfour, that there are some doubting critics who seem to think that the object of the missions of Great Britain and France is to inveigle the United States out of it's traditional policy and to entangle it in formal alliance, secret or public with European powers. 1 cannot i'm aglne any rumor with less foundation nor can I imagine any policy so utterly unnecessary. Our confidence in the as- slstance which we are going to get from this community is not based upon such considerations as those which arise out of formal treaties
 The foreign minister's statement was officially stated to have been made as a result of his conferences during the past few days with President Wilson and Secretary Lansing. It was gen. erally regarded as disposing finally of suggestions in some quarters that the United States might be asked to sign a treaty not to make a separate peace.

The vaudeville show staged Tuesday evening under the auspices of the Rob- ert E.

 Governor Campbell then delivered an address in which he paid an eloquent tribute to the Daughters of the Confed- eracy. His compliment to the memory of Robert E. Lee was exceptionally well received At the close of his ad- dress he presented to Miss Gertrude Edens a silver loving cup as the prize for selling the most tickets to the af- fair. The cup was donated by the Ros- zenweig jewelry store.
 Mrs. Wallace Matthie contributed one of the most enjoyable numbers of the evening, pleasing all by her singing.
 The boxes were occupied by Cover nor Campbell and party: Mrs. E. P. Biddings, president of the Robert E. Lee chapter and party; Mrs. George Olney and party, and Mrs. Lewis T. Carpenter and party
 The committee in charge is indebted to the following for aid in putting on the show: The Doris -Heyman furni- ture store. the Boston store, the Me Neil company the Lightning Delivery company and City Manager Robert A. Craig.

 The British casualties are set down as comparatively slight and the spirit of the wounded is illustrated by the conduct of the Broke's helmsman. Sea man William Rowles, who, though hit four times by shell fragments, re mained at the wheel throughout the action and finally only betrayed the fact that he was wounded by reporting to his captain I'm going off now, sir, and tainted.

 The Broke silenced the treachery with four rounds; then to ensure her own safety, torpedoed the German amidship.
 Meanwhile the Swift continued her pursuit, but slight injuries which she received earlier in the action prevented her from maintaining full speed, so she abandoned the chase and sought fresh quarry. Sighting the outline of a stationary destoyer, from which shouts were heard, the Swift approached warily with her guns trained, to find that it was the destroyer which had already been rammed by the Broke.

There were twenty acres in that old

Two hundred chickens OF fine

the old orchard could be cut back and
made young again by following that
