Subscribers in the citv, who fail to get their paper on Tues days and Fridays will please lei us know at once, It will take our carrier boys some time t« learn where each subscriber live. 1 and we are very anxious to get the paper to each and every one. Djn't fail to call our attention tc any irregularities in delivery. The war in Europe is still i» progress and we are of the opin ion that the people there readilj aarree with Sherman when he gave the definition of war. The American people should be, and are, we believe, thankful that such a man as Woodrow Wilson is at the head of our great gov ernment. Mr. Taft in every speech he has made through the United States has asked the peo ple to stand bv Mr. Wilson and give him their heartv support in the firreat hour of trials. It has been said by some of the besl read men in the world that Mr. Wilson is the tight man in the right place and more especially at this time when it seems that all Europe would like to see our great nation go to war. No man can tell what the out come will be. but we feel sure if we do have to go to war, it will be done only when there is nothing else for us to do. Did you ever stop to think that the United States is just getting over the effects of the Civil war? If not, go to some of the old soldiers who are in positions to know and ask them the condition of this country after the war closed and they will give the desired information. Two Electrocution Dates. Governor Craig has set the dates for two electocutions. Charles Trull, the Mecklenburg murderer, is to be executed July 2. and Abe Allison, the Iredell county burglar, is sentenced to die July 9. Governor Craig received the transcript of the Supreme court's judgment Wednesday. Both eases were recently argued and although each conviction was the result of purely circumstantial evidence, neither court nor the governor could find anything up on which there covld have been any doubt. Trull's case is one of the most notable one 3 tried in the state courts in years. He was an em ploye of a well-known Charlotte business concern and lost his po sition. Having no money he was a frequent borrower and became so much in need that he couli not pay his board bill. From this extreme poverty he jumped in a few hours to the possession of $417.50. In the meantime an old mer chant named Swain had been found dead. Blood on Trull's clothes and an overheard cover sation between him and another young fellow led tcrTrull's arrest. He was not able to give any sort of explanation of his money. The new trial was sought on the ground of Trull's being asleep during the charge of Judge Shaw, but the court found thathehad been smuggle i'Mope" or had taken it voluntarily. Then the jury was said to have read the newspapers but the court held this no prejudice to the de fendant's privileges. f\ - Allison is a negro who is charged with commuting the burglary in an effort to gain ad mission to a home to perpetrate another felony. Say Karlsruhe Was Lost. Nogales, Sonora,' May 28 Nine men who said they had been members of the crew of the German cruiser Karlsruhe de clared here today that the vessel hit the rocks south of Turtle bay, lower California,'vlast January and sank a few days later. They said they escaped in a cutter and inquired if they could cross into the United States with put.being interned. Mighty Battle is Still Raging. London, Eng. May 30. —Around the great fortress of Pizemsyl a mighty battle is still raging. The Austro-German armies are mak ing a supreme effort to cut off the Btronghold and free these ar mies for operations against Italy and the allies in the west. Al though great human sacrifices ire being made, progress latterly has been extremely slow as the Russians have had time to bring jp large reinforcements. North of Przemysl the Russ ians appear to be more than hold ing their own, but to the south east the Austrians and Germans claim further headway and now iomraand with their artillery the railway between Przemysl and Groiek which rur.s just south of the mainline between Przemysl a"J Lemberg. From Lemberg the Russians draw a large por tion of their reinforcements and supplies. The tattle is still endecided and hopes tun high in the allied camps that the Kussianscan hold their lines until the advance of the Italians and the strengthen ing of tie Anglo-French armies compel the Germans to withdraw part of their armies from Galicia. In the west there has been considerable fighting along the Yser canal, where the French re port the occupation of German trenches and in the vicinity of Neuville St. Vaast, where the French advanced about a quarter of a mile. Ihe German official statement says that after a ten hour artil lery attack east of the Yser can al the allies were repulsed. The steamer Tullochmoor has been sunk by a German sub marine, while considerable alarm was caused today by a report that the White Star liner Megan tic, bound from Liverpool for Montreal with many passengers on board, was being chased. The liner, however, escaped. - His Mitake. He moved up to the city, When he'd made a little pile: Built a house and had a garden. Dressed his girls in city style; He read the city papers. And he ate the city food. His wife joined half a dozen clubs. His boy became a dude". But he left his religion in the country. He took a dab in politics, The city kind, of course; He bought a high-powered auto, It was faster than the horse. He had a box at opera And a lot of gil:-edge.l stock; Built the bank right in the center Of the city's finest block! But he left his religion in th? country, The church just around the corner Was of the other brand than his; So he visited the movies Or spent Sunday at "biz". Ha knocked the city preachers And he laughed at Sunday laws. While his boy went to the mischief And his girls were lost—because He had left his religion in the country. And when he took his journey To the place where all men stand, He walked t>p to the Golden Gate As though he owned the land. "I know you're from the city," Said St. Peter, with a sigh; "And I'm sorry I must tell you This is once you can't get by. For you've left your religion in the country," —Rev. George S. Fulcher, in Chris tian Herald. A Traveling Museum. Accoraing to a bulletin issued by the United States Bureau of Education a traveling museum that visits the pub lic schools with illustrative material oa subjects in course of study is being successfully employed in the ; schools of St. Louis. The museum is arranged in direct connection with the course of study followed in the schools. Among the group of exhibits are food pro ducts, material for clothing, charts and colored pictures illustrating history, mounted animals, minerals and ores, charts illustrating geography, astronomy and physiology. The museum has 7,- 00U individial and duplicate collec tion, 4,000 lantern sides, 8,000 stero pticon views and 2,0 n 0 colored charts and photographs. No freaks or abnor malitesare in the collection, and the school authorities make a point of the fact that nothing is contained in the museum which cannot be used in di rect connection with some school course. This graphic method of teach ing is one deserving large attention throughout the country, as it is calcu lated to convey special information in a way to leave an intelligent and last-, ing impression upon the raindof the pu- j pil. I Germany Replies to Note. The German reply to the American note expresses Ger many's regret for in juries sus tained by Americans as a result of submarine and aeroplane at tacks, and offers compensation in cases in which Germany is found to be in the wrong. The note defers a direct answer I tc questions raised by President j Wilson, pending a further ex | change of views. Germany de sires to establish whether the Lusitania was a defenseless mer chant ship or was being usei for the transportation of War muni tions or soldiers, on which un suspecting passengers were per mitted to take passage to safe guard the war materials. Germany expresses regret for the unintentional attacks on the American 3teamersGu:llight and Gushing. The passages in the American note concerning a possible dist i yowal by Germany of intent to i sink the Lusitania and the dis continuance of her present Drac ' ticei of submarine warfare are not mentioned specifr ally in the note. in all the note spi rs for time and throughout evaces direct answer to most of tha poin s raised in the American note. U. S. Officials Disappointed. Washington, May SO,—Germs ny's reply to the American note concerning the sinkinerof the Lu sitania with a loss of more than 100 American lives produced a feeling of profound disappoint ment here. Dissatisfaction at the failure of Germany to answer the demands of the United States was reflected in government cir cles generally. President Wilson had retired early--before the text arrived, but from a reading of the sum mary published today and Am bassador Gerard's forecast, he had an accurate impression of what it contained.

"Mr. Ford," I suggested, "Is there (anything I can say to our people with regard to the Ford Motor Company's 300,000 car rebate plan?" \ "We shall the 300,000,"was the quiet reply—"and in 11 months, a full month ahead of August Ist'.'' "Then a refund is practically assured?" I "^es—barring the totally unexpected. We are 50,000 to 75,0(10 cars behind orders today. Factories and branches arc sending out cars 1,800 daily." I then said to Mr. Ford: "If I could make a definite refund state ment we would increase our local sales 500 cars." ou may say," was Mr. Ford's deliberate and significant reply I to this ou may say that we shall pay back to each purchaser of a Ford Car between August 1, 1914, and August 1, 1915, barring the unforeseen, the sum of SSO. You may say that I authorized you to make this statement." W hat can I add to the above? $15,000,000 cash coming back to Ford owners! And to prospective Ford owners up to August 1. 1915, it actually means—Ford Touring Cars for s49o— less the $5« rebate! Ford Runabouts for s44o—less the SSO rebate! What is there left for me to say?
