Rains Here
1.61 Inches
In Is Hours

Rainfall officially announced as
l.ol inches fell here between dusk
Thursday evening and noon today.
Ihe figure, given by H. L. Allen. Of
tlclal Weather Bureau observer here.
brought the total rainfall for near
ly Il days of July to 3.39 inches.
Crops were needing rain, accord
ing to farmers, and the showers were
welcome in virtually all parts of the
county. The rain was apparently
general, and, after starting in the
early evening, continued all night
and carly afternoon today.
Tobacco was beginning to damage
for want of moisture in the soil, and
was ripening so rapidly growers
feared they would be unable to save
a large part of their acreage Firing
that had set in at places will be
checked by the timely rains, and
plants will fill out and take on added
weight as the result of the moisture
it is thought.
No damage was reported here
abouts as the result of the steady
rain, though in other parts of the
State telephone lines were reported
out temporarily. It was largely a
steady fall here, with no gully
washer" type of rain, and much Of
the water soaked into the soil to
enrich growing crops and to add to
their growth and maturity.

ANNOUNCEMENT

There are bushels of details to it,
but that's the nub.
Now, as to Henry Ford?
100 Per cent Pacifist.
We know that Henry is 100 per
| cent pacifist. He financed his cele-
brated Peace Trip to Europe in 1915
16. 1t cost him above $500,O0O. l was
along with it. So was Bill Bullitt, our
present ambassador to France.
1t was fizz1e but surely it DEM

dollars WORTHY the auto monarch's
belief in neutrality. 1t was cuckoo,
unquestionably. Personally, l asked
Henry on that cruise "How do you
expect to end the war;" His answer
was, "By faith"
The administration more than sus-
poets that he has been trying it "sub-
rosa"
But that isn't all.
Anti-Semitic Complex.
Henry has an anti-Semitic COM
| plex
His Peace Cruise was inspired by
| Jewess, Rosika SchWimmer. 1t was
a terrible failure. Directly afterward
his Journalistic organ, the Dearborn
Independent, turned violently anti
Jewish.
Maybe there's no connection, but
the administration SurmiSe there was,
And then?
Diesel engines?
The administrations notion is that
Diesel engines are influencing Amer
lean politics.
They're a General Motors product,
to all accounts.
Ford, it's presumed, wants to put
pan under c.. M
C. M, it's assumed, has overdone
itself in preparations for Diesels un.
less there's a European war. So
Henry, having no good will toward
G. M, wants to queer a European
war. In order to sting General
Motors? That's the guess.
Ants and Ants.
| Henry doesn't want war on ge,.-
eral principles.
He specifically doesn't want a war
that will profit General Motors.
He's ti-adminiStrationic
He's pacifist
He's anti-Jewish-th pro-
Hitleristic
Henry Ford's pacifist, all right,
but he was a disturbing influence lit
the neutrality situation.

posed to be involved in the contro-
versy?
Well, to summarize:
Congress passed a law requiring
the President to declare absolute
American neutrality in the event of
an overseas war, shutting off Yam
kee exports to the belligerents on
either side except as they may buy
'em here for cash and take 'em home
in their own ships. This policy was
objected to on the ground that it was
favorable to countries (like Eng
land) with lots of ships to do their
own carrying, and correspondingly
unfavorable to countries Qike Ger
many) whose enemies could bottle
up Germany.
The argument was that this would
be an American taking of one side
or the other-that, substantially,
America, would be taking England's
side against Germany (for instance) J..

what form neutrality legislation may
take when Congress reconvenes next
year. They do not want to place
orders or take them, he said.
For instance, he said, a newspaper
owner, not knowing how war
might affect his business, would
hesitate to place an order for a new
press. At the same time, the Presi-
dent said it would take more than
a mere crisis to impel him to call
Congress into a special session to
come to grips with the neutrality
problem.
