PAN.SlAv B0GEY AT END
Central Powers CNn No Longer Usc
1t as Argument for Force.

II the president is right in the as
sumption that we are not opposing
any vital interest of the peoples OF
Central Europe-and we believe II
passionately, believe, that is. that
they had no cause to fight u.s. since
We did not threaten their rights or
interests In any way-then what has
created a misconception which in
duces Germany's allies to accept so
humiliating a position, and the Ger
man people themselves to suffer such
long agOnies for victory which will
not be for their welfare. but merely
for the ambition of class that for
the most part they detest?
Both the Austrian state on the one
hand. and the SocialDemocracy of
Germany on the other, have been led
into that humiliating position mainly
by the bogey of "the Russian peril. "
the "Pan -Slav menace" For Austria,
vassalage to Berlin seemed the only
alternative to Slav dominance and to
, dismemberment at the hands of Rus
sia. The fear of the Slav overcome
the fear OF the Prussian. But since
the Russian revolution the fear of the
Slav has largely disappeared. The
Russian world Is for generation at
least going to be too busy with its
own upheaval and disorder to be a
menace to anybody abroad (unless
the danger to Russia itself should
lead to n military dictatorship in that
country, a dictatorship that might be
pro-German).
1t naturally takes time for the full
meaning Of fact of this kind to sink
into the consciousness of a whole peo-
pie especially a submissive and
well-drilled people like the German
cause a revision OF settled opinions.
But already 1t is having its effect.
The Prussian can no longer create
panic in the Austrian mind with the
bogcy of pan-Slavism. Hence the OBJ
vious change in the relations between
Vienna and Berlin. The new en-
peror is displaying an attitude which
has already tied the wrath OF the
German iingoes. He is reviving the
policy which aims at satisfying the
! claims Of Slav nationality within the
| framework of the dual monarchy.
| Undoubtedly II he did not look to
Germany for defense he would go
farther still.
Meantime a parallel movement Is
going on against the domination OF
| Prussian policy in Germany itself
| The main factor is rendering the So
cial-Democrats so pitiably helpless In
resisting the war aims of the Frus-
sian has been also the bogey of car
| ist Russia. 1t was the argument OF
"the Russian peril which made II
impossible for the more stalwart MI
norities in Germany to make any
headway among the general public.
and helped to prevent the increasing
| suffering of the great mass from
finding expression in political pro-
test. There Is thus taking place an
alliance, or community Of aim. be-
tween the Austrian empire and
parties within Germany itself In re-
sistance to Prussian overlordship.-

COTTON PRICES REMARKABLE
Short Staple Sells for 25 Gents Pound
During Past Season.

SAVANNAH. July 31.-One OF the
most remarkable cotton years In the
history OF Savannah comes to an END

staple cotton has sold for 25 cents n
pound and more. The total gross re-
ceipts for Savannah for the season
were $4,000 bales. against little
over a million bales for the previous
season. There were $4,000 bales eH..
ported. practically all to England and
France. The coastwise shipments
amounted to 505,5O7 bales.
The sea island cotton season has
been most spectacular. Savannah re-
ceived over $4,000 bales of this variety
of cotton against $4,000 for the year
before. Prices have averaged 80
cents a pound during the season, CIV
ing a value Of about $3.50 a bale. The
end of the season sees this "long
staple" posted at 30 cents pound. the
highest price for at least quarter OF
a century.

There are many people in Strath-

"Art" who never knew him before

community's pride In him.
Not few OF the older towns

early episodes connected with the

out on the Currie homestead that the

HOW THE WAR HAS
CHANGED NEWPORT

"Like thousands Of other places
Newport has been made over by the
war. The very streets look differ
ent; the spirit Of it's people has under
gone sweeping transformation. Al
though this is true Of every other
city, yet I think it is most evident in
Newport-for in the past the spirit
of Newport has been social, its ac-
tivities have been the activities of so
ciety, and in many ways it has been
a social model for the rest Of Amer
ica."
Mrs. French Vanderbilt is the au-
thority for this statement. She has
written for the October issue Of Har-
per's Bazaar an article on the Red
Cross and other war relief work in
Newport.
Naturally, with such serious work
on all sides, the character Of Newport
has changed completely. And the
cause for this change was the visit OF
the "U-53". The people Of Newport
had to house and care for the victims
of this merciless raider of the seas
They were, however, not prepared fol-
this sort Of thing, and on realizing
it they built up, without any loss Of
time. very efficient Red Cross or.
ganization, and now every one is en-.
gagged in some kind of war relief
work.

UGH! ACID STOMACH.
S0URNESS, HEART
BURN, INDIGESTION
The moment "Pape's Diapepsin''
Reaches the Stomach All
Distress Goes.

Do some foods you eat hit back
taste good, but work badly; ferment
into acids and cause sick, sour, gas
sy stomach? Now, Mr.. or Mrs. Dys-
peptic, jot this down: Pape's Diapep-
sin helps neutralize the excessive
acids in the stomach so your food
won't sour and upset you. There new
er was anything so safely quick, so GER
tainly effective.No difference how bad
ly your stomach is upset you usually
get happy relief in FIVE minutes, but
what pleases you most is that it helps
to regulate your stomach so you can
eat your favorite foods without fear.
Most remedies give you relief some
times-they are slow, but not sure.
"Pape's Diapepsin" is positive in neu-
tralizing the acidity, so the misery
won't come back very quickly.
You feel different as soon as"Pape's
Diapepsin" comes in contact with the
stomach-distress just vanishes-
your stomach gets sweet, no gases, no
belching, no eructations of undigested
food, your head clears and you feel
fine.
Go now, make the best investment
you ever made, by getting large fiji
ty-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin from
any drug store. You realize in five
minutes how needless it is to suffer
from indigestion, dyspepsia, or any
stomach disorder, due to acid fermen'
tation.

To Prevent Supplies From Reach
ino Garnanu

A final move to prevent supplies
from reaching Germany was taken
Thursday by the American govern
ment in deciding to refuse coal to
refuse coal to neutral ships carrying
supplies from South America to the
northern European neutral countries
unless their cargoes are inspected in
American ports.
In making known the decision the
exports administrative board announc-
ed that it would apply provisions of
the exports control act which gives
the government the same supervision
over bunkers it has over the expor-
tation Of goods generally.
The step was taken with the approx
al Of all the Allies who will cooperate
by enforcing similar regulations. It
follows closely Great Britain's decla-
ration of complete embargo against
the northern European neutrals which
was designed to strengthen the en-
barge already put into force by the
United States.
In statement accompanying the
announcement the exports board
makes it clear that the present abso-
