Tho Knox Resolution and the Re-
ported ssSecret Pact"

Just four months and fifteen day.
ago Senator KNOX introduced in the
Senate a resolution setting forth the
only reasons for which this nation
entered the war. The resolution Is
still with tire Committee on Foreign
Relations. Mr.. KNox's statement wa:
brief and comprehensive:
The United States entered the war
with Germany and Austria-Hungary
in order to vindica1e tho ancient
rights Of navigation as established
under international law and In order
to remove forever the German men,
ace to our peace"
This true statement Is in precise
accord with the preamble OF the Joint
resolution of Congress, adopted on
April 6, 1917, declaring war against
Germany:
whereas the Imperial German
Government has committed repeated
acts of war against the Government
and people Of the United States Of
America"
The original declaration Of our war
aims was amplified by the Knox reso'
luton only as to its natural and in
evitable corollary, the removal for
ever of the German menace to OUT
peace. All other war aims" are sub
seuuent In their formulation; extra
neous matter; afterthoughts, whether
enunciated in the Fourteen Points OF
President WILSON'S later conception
or elsewhere.
To give effect t~ the declaration
that the aim of our successful wal
with Germany was to vindicate the
ancient and established rights Of nav.
igatfon and to remove forever the
German menace to our peace the
Knox resolution provided:
Second: That for the safeguard
ing of these aims the first essential
10 definite understanding that, the
same necessity arising In the future,
there shall be the same complete ac-
cobelligerents for the defence Of
civilization"
Perhaps this is what President
WILSON had in mind If he has really
made himself, In the name Of the
Government and people Of the United
States, a party to an agreement in
advance to go to war for Frances
protection In case of another attack
upon her from beyond the Rhine
Perhaps this suggestion of Senator
KNox's, combined with his own de
scription of France-in one Of his
speeches, said to have been persist
emily recalled to his memory by Pre-
mier CLEMENCEAU during the private
and unpublished negotiations leading
TO the acceptance Of certain changes
in the league constitution-as "tht
outpost of civilization" explains his
reputed attitude on the subject.
But II the President is making such
far reaching promises to France ir
return for her Governments compli
ance with his views Of world policy
how immensely stronger would be hi:
position, constitutionally, personally
morally and in every other way, Il
his agents in the Senate had per
mitted the Knox resolution to bt
adopted and to become an authorize
tive declaration Of American policy!

1t is pleasant to note the fact that
the tenant of a newspaper and tobacco
booth in the Staten Island ferry house
at the Battery can afford to pay more
than $4,000 yearly rental. Sound

Perhaps the tenant could double that
respectable amount Of rent If he also
dealt in such things as golf, tennis
and cricket supplies.

IN RENEMBRA

In loving remembrance of Mr.. J. w.
Barrow who departed this life Jan
uary II, 1919, age rs years, ] months
and 25 days, on that bright Saturday
morning our hearts were made sad
by the icy hand Of death which took
from us a kind and loving father
after brief illness, which he bore
with so much patience and fortitude
but oh on that bright morn Jesus
whispered "wcll done thou good and
faithful servant enter thou into the
Kingdom Of Heaven"
The pains of death are past,
Labor and sorrow cease
And lfe's long warfare closed at last
HIS soul is found in place.
On the memory of that morn,
AS ! listened with breaking heart
Hearing the word of one ! love so
dearly,
Had been pierced by deaths most and
dart.
The vacant room the empty chair,
can see but oh the dear old face and
voice can not be seen, neither
heard
And oh it fills my heart with care
Since he has passed away,
And oh dear papa is gone to come
no more.
And ! hope that the four children
left here will live true life so we
can meet papa and be at rest.
.. His daughter,
Mamie DuBose.

Civic LEAGUE HOLDS
INTERESTING MONTHLY
MEETING MONDAY

The Manning Civic League held its
regular monthly meeting on February
18th with % members present, which
is an evidence of the interest taken
in the League by it's members. Owing
to which; the League is in most
tiourishing condition. The member
ship roll shows that the 100 mark has
been reached and passed by the ad-
dltlon of twelve new members, who
were voted upon, and elected at the
February meeting, namely: Mrs.
Jesse T. Orvin, Miss Emily Broad
way, Mrs. Bessie Lesesnc, Mrs f. S.
Erwin, Mrs. J. II. Bomar, Mrs. w. G.
Smith, Mrs. Stabler, Mrs. Horace
Thomas, Mrs. J. f. Arant. Mrs. H. B.
Ennis, Mrs. II. l.. Crouch, Mrs. In
gram Bradham. There could have
been no better time for these many
good workers to wish to have a hand
in our "City Beautiful than now, as
the League has laid plans for a very
busy year, and all members will have
to lend their cooperation in very
substantial way for the work to be
accomplished: The members present
were most interestingly entertained
by short talk by Mrs. Oliver Plow-
dGn on the County Demonstration
Club, which club, deals not only with
Civics alone, but with sanitation, eco
nomics and educational problems
After hearing Mrs. PIowden's force
ful talk, it was discussed at length,
if the League should take up this
wonderful and broad field of work.
After all pros and cons were taken
up, it was decided to add this work
to our League, which has been done
with Mrs. Jesse II. Orvin as chairman
OF this branch Of the work
There has been over $50. 90 realized
from the chain Of teas, which is not
at an end yet, as there are still quite
few ladies to entertain, and the
money from these yet to be had will
add greatly to the comfort and care
of the little French girl orphan to be
supported by these ladies' The Rum
mage Sale held on the 18th of Feb
ruary was also quite success, and
the League wishes to thank each an!
every one who contributed to this
sale. The next regular meeting of
! the League will be he'd on the 18th
of March, at the Court House, and
at this meeting the League will have
| the great pleasure of hearing Dr..
Riser of Columbia give talk on the
new branch of the League, has added
to the work and it is to be hoped
| there will be many members out to
greet him.
