Potsdamnation!
That's a word coined by Alexander
Cairns, the great lecturer to be heard
here soon at the Chautauqua.
What world of dynamite and de-
struction is wrapped up in it.
1t tells in single word what others
are taking pages to express-the real
American opinion of what Germany
has done to the world.
It's discussion is one of the things
which makes Cairns messages for
Chautauqua audiences more vital this
year than they have ever been, for he
has been specially instructed by the
government departments in first-hand
information that Uncle Sam wants
presented to the people.
Cairns is an old Chautauqua favor
ite. His lips sparkle with native Irish
wit, and he can't get the spirit Of fight
out of his soul. The things he is for
he upholds with all his might, those
in which he does not believe will find
him fighting to the last.
His appearance on the platform is
always the signal for applause, for
people everywhere have heard him
and love him, and are eager to hear
him again.
Teacher, traveller, lecturer, author
and preacher, he is widely known as
"both the funniest and most serious
man alive" For four years he was a
teacher in japan and later a college
professor of English in America.
Since the Chautauqua platform found
him out, he has been kept busy
spreading his magnetism under the
big top. And this year, with his vital
war message, he is more popular than
ever.

C. R. Wilson to Have Conser-
vation and Substitution Ex-
planned to Grocers' Clerks.

Clarence r. Wilson. local food ad-
ministrator has called a meeting of
retail grocery clerks for o'clock next
Wednesday evening in the Central
High School auditorium. The purpose
is to enlist cooperation in the pro-
gram of the food administration, espe-
cially with respect to conservation and
substitution.
Many clerks in Washington. through
lack of understanding, it is believed.
have been working against the food
administrations program. Their atti-
tude has tended to discourage consum-
ers and make them less inclined to give
voluntary support to the conservation
movement.
The requirement that retailers may
sell wheat flour only when other ce-
reals are bought in equal weight has
been the cause of special trouble. Many
clerks, instaed of explaining the neces-
sity of the requirement and its fairness,
have taken the attitude that it is an un-
warranted interference with the liber-
ties of tradeSmen and their customers.
This has resulted in a good deal of dis
satisfaction.
1t will be made clear to the clerks
that this attitude is hurtful to their
employers. Grocers are able to buy
wheat -four only by buying an equal
weight of other cereals. Unless they
the same proportion they soon will find
themselves either short of -four or over
stocked with the other cereals.
Food administration officials are con-
WINGED that when the clerks have a
clear understanding of purposes of the
conservation and substitution measures
they will give hearty support Mr.. Will
son will preside at the meeting. There

ton.

der of three Graham county officers in

The fight occurred when the officers,

ers. Jefferson Powers, father of the

wards totaling $4,000 have been Offer

Cochise Stronghold, where the fugi-
tives are believed to be in hiding, is
situated in the Dragon mountains, and
is considered one of the greatest nat
ural forts in the southwest. The strong.
hold was named after the Apache In
dian Chief Coch-se. who terrorized
southeastern Arizona in the seventies.
In July, 1871, Cochise and his band
drove a herd of stolen cattle into the
stronghold and ambushed Capt. Jerry
Russell and troops of the Sd United

Great quantities of ice are today

men do not, however. anticipate that any
damage is going to result from the ice,

big ice jam which is far greater fur

The tide today is carrying the ice in
great foes down the river at a rapid

tinual stream of big ice journeying
down the Potomac On it's journey early
this morning scow and several boats
were seen passing by rivermen. On the
flats off Alexandria the ice has formed

There was high tide this morning,

docks at some points. and at the King
street dock the water came over the
docks into King street for several feet
No damage. however. resulted.
Merchants along the river front are
prepared for high water, and should the
water come over the docks. as it fire.

would not suffer any great amount of
damage. inasmuch as they have their
goods placed on skids which are a con-
siderable distance above the ground

Found Task Difficult.

Sir Cecirs difficult task here during
the early years of war in inducing the
American government to accept with
equanimity the oppressive regulations
of the entente blockade was looked
upon as an unusual achievement. What

ingenious and remarkable state papers

bassy here in support Of the policies

gard of the eSta blshed rules of war

Following is the text of a formal
message of coincidence sent by Sccre-
tary Lansing to Lady Spring Rice:
"In the name of the President and of
all those with whom Sir Cecil was
brought into official contact. I offer you
sincere coincidence. 1t has been given
to few men 10 rise as Sir Cecil did to
the heights of great international
emergency and to become, as he was
the fortunate medium through which
our two nations drew into closer touch
and became sharers in the great task
which has been imposed upon the
world
Secretary Lansing also sent to For
eign Minister Balfour a message of con-
dolence, saying: '"rhe government of
the United States joins with the British
government in mourning the great loss
which has been suffered"
A representative of the American gov
ernment will be sent to Ottawa for the

May Raise Pay of Employees.

England raised the pay of the canal
employees. and it is suggested that such
a course probably will be found neces-
sary in the ease of the Chesapeake and
Ohio and other canals in this country
Lock tenders on the Washington to
Cumberland route receive $25 a month
during the boating season and $3.50 a
month during the winter. in addition
to being provided with quarters. If the
Cover nInent should take over this canal
and decide on day-and-night operation
of boats. it would necessitate the en-
ployment of assistants for lock tenders
AS the wages they now receive are con-
sidered ridicuously low and have not
been boosted to offset the increase in
the cost of living, it is considered prac-
Gcaliy certain that the government
would give these employees higher pay.
Boat captains on the canal are COM
pensated at the rate of so cents a ton
| and, as the average load is 115 tons
the pay for a round trip from cumber-
land to Washington is about $3.50.

MEET OPTIMISTIC HOPES.
Winter Wheat Prospects in France
Regarded as Very Promising.

PARIS, February 14.-The condition
of winter wheat in the departments
of France which give the largest yields
is reported by an expert who has just
finished a tour of inspection to justify
fully the most optimistic hopes for
the 1918 crop. Nowhere did the frost
do any damage. and the prospects are
good for a greater crop per acre than
in any year since 1914.
Preparations for spring seeding are
well under way, and it is probable the
acreage will exceed that of last spring
by nearly one million. There is an
equal increase in the acreage of win
ter wheat over 1917.
