COIN PACKING PLANT
pelease From Ice Venture Gives MIR. Love Time

The sale of the Crystal Ice &
roal Co. by w. T. Love & Sons Of
his th;s city last week may mean
I'LL, ore for Elizabeth City than ap-
lno nors on the face of the deal. It
Rs Ess been no secret for a year or
more NO. that Mr.. Love wanted to
nst ntt out of the ice business. The
so business that has always most
o oonoea1ed to Mr.. Love is the meat
BUSINESS. bpfi For years he has had
IN mind establishing a packing
liant at Elizabeth City. He has
f tbe Ground for the plant and he
was contemplating going into the
oackine business when he got
hold of the Crystal Ice & Coal Co.
few wears ago. That ice bus1-
ness was a Jonah and having got
ten into it Mr.. Love could find
not a minute of spare time to de-
vote to anything else. His pack
ing house plans had to be shelved.
But now Mr.. Love is rid of the
ire business. he has the site tor
his packing plant, he has some
thing like $4,000 idle capital as
aresult of his sale of the ice plant
tn E. c. Conger and associates ;
and he has his indomitable energy
and desire to do things.
This newspaper has asked Mr..
Love if he was ready to consider
the establishment of a packing
house now that he was free to
oursue this enterprise. He would
not commit himself, but the sug-
gestion brought smiles to his face
and he talked freely about the op-
oortunities here for such an en-
+erprise. He said he might have
sonething to say later.
Elizabeth City and northeastern
North Carolina are ready to gel
5sbind Mr.. Love or any other cap

CARRANZA GIVEN
WARNING REVOLT
WAS UNDER WAY
Mexican Government Notified
By United States of Prepar-
atoms Of Villa and Angeles
But Gave No Heed,


Washington, May 30.-Although the
Carran2a government OF Mexico was
warned nearly year ago by the Unit
ed States of preparations for the pres
ent revolutionary campaign which
has resulted in the proclaiming of
General Felipe Angeles provisional
president and Francisco Villa, secre-
tary of war, little attention was paid
to information given by this country.
Specific warning of the threatened
menace to his power were given Prest-
dent Carranza by the United States
last October Is, and again last No
vcmber o. it was learned authorita
lively today.
President Carranza was reminded
on these and other occasions particu-
larly Of his duty to protect .Nmecican5
and American property IL Mexico.
Villa began the collection of arms,
munitions and food for the campaign
which. in the opinion of officials here.
row has grown to constitute the gray
est menace to CarranZa's power since
Villa was defeated by the govern
ment forces three years ago. Last win
ter, it is said, Villa notified his fol
lowers to plant their crops early az
the campaign would begin as soon as
the grass was green to insure forage
for their horses. UH1Sual activity was
displayed throughout northern NcXi-
CO by the Pillistas in getting their
crops into the ground to provide
against famine. All this was learned
by agents of the United States aud
formed the basis for the warnings sent
to CarranZa.

Washington, May 3O,-President
Wilson, in an address today at the
graves of the American dead in SUI
resnes cemetery, near Paris said the
league of nations was the covenant of
governments that the millions who
fell in the great war shall not have
died in vain, and added that he looked
for the time when every man who
now opposes the league would be just
as ashamed of it as if he now regret
ted the union of the states after the
civil war.
Declaring that the standards of an
older order are trying to assert them
selves again, the president said those
who sought to accomplish the return
to IAN order of which we are
ashamed must realize that they cam
not succeed because 1.-The peoples of
the world are safe in the saddle" and
private counsels OF statesmen cannot
now and cannot hereafter determine
the destinies of the nations"

Of France to us on a day like this,
a message of genuine comradeship, a
message of genuine sympathy, and /
have no doubt that if our British
comrades were here they would speak
in the same spirit and in the same
language For the beauty of this war
is that it has brought a new partner
ship and a new Comradeship and a
new understanding into the field OF
the effort of the nation
But it would be no profit to me to
eulogize those illustrious dead II we
dld not take to heart the lesson
which they nave taught us. Ihey are

to show their devotion to great
cause, and they have left us to sec
to it that the cause shall not be be-

consecrate ourselves afresh on a day
like this to the objects for which they
fought II is not necessary that

the bids offered for two American

the price they would have cost when

which could be constructed originally
for $1O.OOO,O00, would now cost fully
double that figure. if not more, and
that the same rule applies to the
super dreadnaught Hood, costing more
than $25,O00,GC0.
During the four years of the war
the BritisH added 100000 tons to the
navy at cost of nearly $500, 900, 900.
