Immense Black Boar
Killed by Farmer.
New Bern, Aug. 22.—Guy W. Pop*.
• prominent farmer of Pin* Grove,
yesterday killed one of the largest
black bears that has been Men in this
section in many years. The beast
weighed more than five hundred
pounds.
Mr. Pope had been bothered with
bears a great deal and he set a trap
where they had been using most.
Ye. terday he went to the place where
the trap had been set, but there was
nothing to be seen of the trap nor the
bear. The ber.st had been caught in
the trap, but the chain which fastened
it to a nearby tree was not strong
enough to hold him and he carried it
off.
In his rage, caused by the pain of
having one of his feet betwe«D ths
jaws of a large steel trap, old bruin,
in going to his den, mowed down
young saplings en route, leaving a
trail which Mr. Pope followed.
Mr. Joe Ball was at Pine Grove yes
terday and Mr. Pope gave him one of
the bear's front feet, which he brought
to New Bern with him. Tnis mem
ber weigher six pounds.

"Frankly, I da not think anyone any

thia country two week* before tha

"Certainly wa did not *tart tha
w»r. Who did? I think tha anawer
ia unquaationahla. For at leant a yaar
bafora tha war began Germany had
definitely made up her mind to fight.
"An Italian writer haa told ua how
in 1913, Germany approached the Ital
ian government with a view of taking
action in tha Balkan*, but Italy *aid
•ha would regard such a war a* of
fensive and not datenaive and would
not land her lupport. Germany with
draw bar propaaala aa iha did aot
think aha than waa strong enough to
ga ta it alone.
"Aawrica Aabamdar Gerard has
told as the Gtraun crown print* mad*
no s*cret of his desire for war and
that he even expressed the hop* that
it would com* before his father died;
and ha added that if it did not com*
before his father died, it would come
as soon as he, namely, the crown
prince, ascended the throne.
"Balfour's secretary Ian Malcolm
has also quoted his conversation with
the crown prince in which the prince
suggested that England and Germany
should combine to destroy France.
"There is no question but that Ger
many had made up her mind that some
where about the summer of 1914,
would be the best time for war, this be
cause the new French military service
act would not become effective and the
Russian strategic railways would not
yet be ready. Morever, they knew
thoroughly the new conditions of cor
ruption in Russian official life and
hoped our democratic preparations
would keep us out, although they were
determined to go on with their plan*
whether we starved out or not.
"In every country there are men of
many different opinions. The ex
treme war party in Germany actually
welcomed and desired our entrance as
it gave them an opportunity to kill
two birds with one stone. The wiser
ones no doubt hoped we would stay
out so they could take us singly later,
followed still later, as Ambassador
Gerard has pointed out by the United
States.
"Thi* wu the situation in Germany
when the Sarajevo murder* came and
rave the war party it* eagerly await

U no reaaonable doubt that the ulti

ever wa* Serbia'* aniwer they would
proceed againct Belgrade. The ulti

gant term* that a favorable reply waa
practically impouible, but little Ser
bia managed to pen readily that which
practically acquiesced in all the princi

remainder to The Hague tribunal.
Neverthele**, the Teuton* moved on
Belgrade.

Copenhagen. Aug. 20.—Representa
tive! of the German farming inter
est* and the War Food Bureau, de
rided at a meeting recently held in
Berlin that the shortage of fodder
necessitated drastic slaughtering of
cattle this lummer and autumn.
The farmer* reported that pastur
are was poor; that hay and clover
crops were scanty owing to the
drought, and that only small amounts
of potatoes and grain were available
for fodder above the requirements of
human consumption.
To avoid the earlier mistake of
wasting fodder and barley keeping the
rattle alive, through the winter, the
farmers were advised to market all
except milch cow*. Indinpensatilo draft
cattle now largely replacing horses,
ind such animals for which winter
Fodder to keep them in good condition
iras available.
The measure was recognised as
largerous in respect to meat rations'
this winter and in 1918, to the future |

nanure, but the homes of the farmers,
