by the word patriotism, but which is
in reality murder. the spirit of the very
Devil ~
Denounce Patriotism
Nowhere in the New Testament is
patriotism "a narrow-minded hatred of
other peoples) encouraged. Every
where and always murder in its every
form is forbidden; and yet, under the
guise of patriotism the civil govern
ments of earth demand of peace-loving
men the sacrifice of themselves and
their loved ones and the butchery of
their fellows and hail 1t as duty de-
manded by the laws of heaven. ;"
Germans denounce war, with the
exception of the present conflict with
England. Englishmen condemn war,
but exclude fro m their indictments
the present fight against the central
empires If you tell me that this
war is fought for the integrity of In
ternational law, I must ask you why
it is directed only against Germany
and not also directed against England,
which is an equal, although less ter
rible, violator of covenants between
nations.
eff you say it is a war against wan
ton and intolerable aggression, must
reply tht every blow which we have
endured has been primarily blow di-
rected not against ourselves. but
against England and that it has yet
to be proved that Germany has any
intention of attacking u.s."

LEVER GRADES MAY
Be MADE ACCEPTABLE

CHICAGO, March 16-Prospects
that lower grades would be made ac-
ceptable on ordinary contracts for fu-
lure delivery had bearish effect to-
day on corn. The likelihood was also
more apparent than hedging sales
wewre to be permitted in greater vol
ume. Liberal receipts and fine
weather tended likewise to depress
values. Opening quotations, which
ranged from u off to like advance
with March 1878. and May 124A to
1876, were followed by moderate sag
Ill around.
Oats declined to the lowest prices
for nearly month. Most OF the sell
ing was Of a stop-loss character on
the part of discouraged holders. AIT
err the opening 81 TO &c off with May
S5A to $3.50, the market underwent
decided setback before beginning to
rally.
announcement of liberal gain IN
warehouse stocks here weakened pro-
visions. Higher prices on hogs were
ignored.

No Division of Profits With Red

The concert which it was proposed
to give in Lumberton last evening
with division of proceeds with the 10
cal Red Cross chapter was called en-
because it was learned that It n
against the rules of the Red Cross 50
ciety to accept any offer contemplate
ing a division of profits from an
entertainment or enterprise of any
kind between the promoters and TIE
Red Cross.
Recently some speakers at Red
Cross meeting near Rowland ro.
duced an insurance man who offered
as an inducement to any people who
might insure with him that Is per
cent of his commissions would be
paid to the Red Cross. This brought
from Southern headquarters at At

ter advising that this was absolutely
against the law; and enclosed with
the letter was pamphlet in regard to
the use of the emblem and the Use OF
