1t is desired that all attending the
Reunion from Mississippi be clothed
in Confederate Uniforms in order that

ENGLAND WANTS
MORE SHIPPING
That is the Chief Purpose of Visit Of
Commission to this Country
Are Disappointed.
by Associated Press)

Washington, May 3-The ,subma-
rine menace and the ways to combat
it by increased shipping, freight se-
lection and naval cooperation is the
main interest Of the British Mission
it became certain today from many
sources. The British naval officers in
coming here hoped to get a consider
able number Of small boats to use as
submarine chasers but were disap-
pointed to find that the few available
were needed here. The British shipp-
ing experts have found encouragement
in the emergency efforts Of the shipp-
ing board and the availability Of many
German ships.
One of the greatest uncertainties
of the situation is the total ignorance
of the number Of U-boats Germany is
building.

THE OLD SOUTH
IN CLAY MODEL
Handsome Piece Displayed to U. D. c
Convention by Mr.. ]. H. Hardy,
80. Of Columbus.

Mr.. J. H. Hardy, of Columbus, a
sculptor, was in the city yesterday and
part of today, in attendance upon the
U. D. C. Convention, now being held
in this city. Mr.. Hardy had with him
a small model of piece of statutary
which he has been commissioned to. do
by the U. D. C. to be erected at the
Mississippi Centennial at Gulfport.
The, statue, judglnv by the model,
will be one of the most attractive
peices destined to picture to future
generation the real South as it is to-
day and has been for the past fifty
years.
The figure is that of an old black
"Mammy," fat and happy, dressing
little white child. The old colored
woman is the ideal of the person all
Southern children used to know as
Nanny" The characteristics Of the
Mammies were. different, their fea-
lures were different but the word
"Mammy" spoken anywhere in the
South universally brought to mind
Just such a colored woman as Mr.
Hardy's deft fingers have moulded
The idea conveyed by the statue is
the love and care received by the
white children of the South from the
old "Mammies" and is an insight into
the reason why the South has always
been able to handle the race question
successfully.
The little child half dressed has
checked NANNY" in her work Of
clothing it and must be fondled, whict
the good old woman is doing.
Mr.. Hardy is indeed to be congra
tulated and whether the postponemen'
of the Gulfport birthday party causes
the U. D. C. to cancel the order o.
not, he should complete the work
There is no doubt but that Mr.. Hard!
has a great future before him.

A HARD FOUGHT
BASEBALL GAME
Greenwood With Difficulty Won From

Without doubt it was one Of the
best games ever played on the home
grounds and il scores count anything
the Greenwood High School beat the
Lexington aggregation about ten
games in "ne-the final count being
thirty three to two in their favor.
The Lexington crowd came over
confident, they returned in the same
spirits-confdent that they didn't
know the first symptoms Of the base
ball disease and with a feeling that
they had been slightly outdistanced in
the contest.
Ihe hits were SO numerous and the
scores piled up 50 fast that time and
again the official score keeper found il
necessary to call time to count them
especially those garnered by the visit
ing bunch.

Brazil has drawn step nearer to
war with Germany and today is one
Of the three countries lowering on the
brink of the malestrom which convul-
ses two thirds of the world. Norway
and China are the two other countries
which may shortly be added to the list
of Germany's foes.
With Brazil this was brought about
by the resignation Of Foreign Minister
Muller and the detention Of the Bra
lillian minister in Berlin
The possibility of Norway's entrance
into the ranks Of the Allies is
based on the havoc wrought Norwe-
gian mercantile marine by German
submarines.
All reports from China agree that
advocates Of war are in the majority
at Pekin but that the president is re-
luctant to take the step.
New breaches are being made in the
