Anniversary of C«um Of the War Recalled. •» Washington, June 29.—Four year* ago yexterday a hulf-crazed Servian youth, Prinaip by nasee, shot and kilt ed Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary, and his wife, as they rode through the streets of Sarajevo. Bosnia. That gave Germany and her pawn, Austrin Hungary, the excuse they had await-1 ed to start a world war for dominion. Millions of lives have been lost and billions of dollars expended because this Bosi.ut; student assassinated the archduke and the duchesi of Hohen burg, at the Bosnian capital. One of the results of that act was the passage in the house Friday of an $8,000,000,000 bond bill, making the total bond authorizations of this coun try to date *20,000,000,000. Just before the bill parsed Repre sentative Simeon D. Fess, of Ohio, a college professor and student of his tory, reminded the house of the bond ed debt of civilization today. Mr. Fess said: "Some time before 1912, the gov ernment of Austria, taking advantage of an un.setUed condition in the Bal kaiis, extended 1 tr military authority over the two provinces of Herzegovin ia and Bosnia, which led to a very bit i ter feeling against the Austrian gov ernment. Jrst four years ago today the heir of the throne of Austria was in the city of Sarajevo, the capital of [t.isnia, and by a half-witted citizen, who had been stirred by the injury io the people of Austria, the archduke was assassinated. That started this world on fire. "At that tine Great Br'tain had an indebtness of *3,000,000,000. Today, according to Bonar Law, in his last statement in parliament, it is *37, 000,000,000. We had an indebtness of less than *1.000,000.000. To be ac curate, *972,000,000. Today we have an indebtness probably of between $17,000,000,000 and *18,000,000,000, if * you omit our loans to foreign coun tries. France had an indebtness at the time of nearly *6,000.000.000. Her indebtness now is approaching *30,000,000,000. Germany's situation ia somewhat different, because she finances the war by enforced loans in stead of taxation. "Therefore, we have just made th< observation of this anniversary today that an incident in the capital of Bos nia four years ago today has disrupt ed the entire world, and ia a comment upon the civilisation of the werid." f\ L M IIOMM IHMI.

Tha "Dobaon Home Demonstration Society" was organized a month ago by Mine Wilaon our county Damon atrator. President, Mra. W. W. Ham pton; Vice President, Mrs. Palmer; Secretary, Mra. Millsap; Treasurer,] Miss Oertruda Raece. The Arst meet-; ing was held in the spacious kitchen of the Hotel Surry, Monday afternoon. After the business proceeding*, Mi.ia Wilaon gave a rooking demonstration lesson, consisting of corn bread,' spoon bread and potato salad which i was a decided success as attested by [ those who nttcnde<l. Thia was a most enjoyable as well as profitable meet ing, and the people are glad to hava Miss Wilson bring thesa methods sot cleverly to our observation. Any! community would do well to organize a "Home Demonstration Club." Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Keece, and lit tle daughter, Kdith miAored to Boon ville Monday where they met their sister, Miss Viola E. Keece, of Wash ington, D. C. She returned with them to Dobaon for as short visit. Mrs. R. M. Langster, of Lumbar Bridge, N. C., is spending sometime with her mother, Mra. Lula Lewellyn, while Dr. Lancaster goes to sarra hia country. The most pleasant social event of the season was given the D. W. Y. P. Club, at the hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Lewellyn last Saturday evening the honor guest of the occa sion being Dr. R. M. Lancaster who left for Camp Monday. The home was patriotically decorated in the colors of 'Old Glory*. The Dining room was most attractive in the gay festooning of our nations 'Red, White and Blue. Covers were laid for 12 and the guests were sumptuously served to a 6 course dinner, after which they repaired to the parlor for patriotic music and en-1 tertainment and far too soon came the hour for parting, where each one was lavish in expressing appreciation of Mr. and Mrs. Lewellyns hospitality. Bridge at Wads worth ia Constructed by Officer*. Spartanburg, June 29.—A Bride* over Holston creek in the southern part of Camp Wadaworth, just com pleted, is said to be one of the most expensive structures ever erected by any force of bridgebuildcm. Every stroke of the work in connection with the building was done by officers, in cluding cutting down the timber;, hewing them, hauliiig tliem to the s<;ene of the building operations and placing them. The unlisted men had ' nothing to do with the undertaking in any way. . The work was done by the officers attending the Pioneer Infan try regiment* school for officers. The enlisted men had nothing to do with it. The only enlisted men who had inyt.iing to do with it were two or three from Maine, who had had ex ' pcrience in timbering. They were called in to give advice as to the selec tion of timber, handling it, etc. They wore really instructors As for actual work, they let the officers do it. Col onels, Majors captains and lieuten ants toiled side by tide and hued and heaved and fitted timbers together, and Mistered their hands and sprain* ••■I their back*,, but they built the brld je and U cy are proud of it. It is a good bridge—there is no tietter bridge of iu Kind snywlere in the wot Id-.-and |t will be standing and giving service long after thone whs built it have gone to scenes of other activity. Round Hp IdUn in N«w York.

Soon after midnight Assistant Die trkt Attorney Jamee Smith, accom pan lad by > squad of detectives, ne tted restaurante, pool parlors, rhop suey and cabaret hall" where subpoe nae were dtrtributed to all men who were unable to produce military reg istration card*, or otherwiee satify the authorities their employment could be classed as eeeential. On the streets also pedeetrians were stopped and handed subpoenas to appear later at the district attorney's office. As reports of the movements of the raiders preceded them restaurants and other piaceo frequented by idlers udednly became deserted. Federal nnd local authorities estimated that today fully 26,000 men known to be non-essentially employed, or not at all live in this city. District Attorney Swann announced that he had pre pared a list containing the namee of 10,000 men belonging to the idle rich class. The majority of these names, he explained, had been given to him by soaiety women. Magistrates before whom men ar rested for loafing will be arraigned announced today that the burden of proof will rest upon the defendants and that they must prove their right to freedom as workingmen or suffer the consequences. As the result of police raids at the Aquedct race track, near Belmont Park on Sunday, two jockeys and three stable boys were turned over to the federal authorities today. They included Harry Miller and John T. Taylor, of Lexington, Ky., and Louis McAllister, of Louisville. They were charged with having failed to Ale their questionnaires. Between 700,000 and M0,000 men were questioned in connection with the crusade to enforce the anti-loafing law. Ku|mm V. Deb* Under ArruL Cleveland, O., July 1.—Eugene V. Debt, socialist nominee for eon grees from the fifth Indiana district and former socialist candidate for presi dent, who was arrested Here yester day charged with violation of the es pionage act, was arraigned in fed eral court here today. Debs spent latt night in jail. The arrest, which occurred a* Debs was about to address a socialist meet ing, resulted from a secret indictment returned by the federad grand jury Saturday. It is understood that the indictment contains ten specific in dictments under the espionage act and was the outcome of a speech deliver ed at the secialist state convention in Canton two weeks ago. If found guilty the defendant faces a penalty of twenty years imprisonment and $10,000 fine and costs on each count. Following the announcement of Debs' arrest more than $1,000 was raised at the meeting for a fund to wards his defense. Sixty-seven men were taken into custody by police at the gathering. Fifty-five were um>u«e to produce classification cards and twelve were detained for other reasons. In the Canton speech Debs declar ed the purpose of the allies in the war is the same as that of the cen tral powers; he ur^ed his hearers te know "that they were fit for some thing better than cannoft fodder;" he declared himself as guilty as Mrs. Rose Postor Stokes who was recent ly convicted of violating espionage act, and he praised the Bolsheviki and (the I. W. W. Mrs. Burns' L*tt*r. Here it a letter that is certain to | prove to interest to people in this vicinity as caws of this sort occur in almost every neighborhood, and peo ple should know what to do in like rirrumstancee: Savannah, Mox 12, 1916. "I used a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy about nine years ago and it cured me of flu* (dysentery) I had another attack of the seme complaint some three or fear year* ago and a few doaee of this rem edy cured me. I ha/e recommended (hambertain's Colic ai.d D)ui(iH| Remedy to doaens of peefie alaee 1 |an( «Md It." WHAT KIND Of PEACE FOR THE GERMANS. Under the apur of nai — X) Um tremendoua military organisation yielded by the Cwin amparer to to bo mod In another effort to brook down the allied arm tea and toko Pirn or tho Channel porta. Tho day* of preparation must bo few, and aineo Auatria'a rovorao tho preparatory daya havo boon reduced to houra. Tho political, economic and military con dition* la tho enemy em pi re a Impe ratively demand victory or peace without delay. If peace ranaot be carved oat of tho all lea with a aword, Germany and Auatrla muat ret peace In aoma other way. Without poace they cannot hold what they have { gained, and without holding what ; they have gained »hey cannot get victory. Foreign Secretary von Kuehlmann says there can be nj dwiaion by mili tary fore*. If ha maana German mili tary forca ha ta undoubtedly rifht, as manifested by Carman's failura to favor har offensive. If ha maana •Iliad military forca ha ia wrong, be cause tha alliaa hava baraly begun to nuu thair potantial utrength. Tha United Statan if thu strongest power that ia arrayad againat Garmany, and it haa placad in France only 1,000, 000 of ita fighting man. It ia foolish of Dr. von Kuahlmann to say that a decision cannot ba chancelad by mili ary forca, in viaw of tha overwhelm ign destructive forces that America is organizing against the enemy. Long before America haa actually developed and applied all her strength the enemy doubtless will have gained peace. The allies devoutly believe that Germany* peace-will be the peace of defeat. They have accurate in formation concerning the interior con ditions in Germany and Austria-Hun gary, and the conditions in countries conquered by Garmany, and they know that unleaa Germany can hold occupied territory and make it pro duce food the war will have to come to an and by Germany's surrender. In order to hold occupied territory the German army must defeat the allied armies, constantly increasing in strength and daily becoming more menacing. How can Germany be strong in the field and weak in the bread basket? That is the insoluble problem that onder-lies von Kuehl mann's admission that the war can not be settled by military force. Pending the hour when Germany must compromise between famine and greed, the German army is stroog and the necessity of victory such as to drive the emperor and his captain to tost the fateful issue. They will strike for Paris and the Channel. If they fail they will have sacrificed a few hundred thousand Germans, the winter will be at hand, and some stratagem such as a mirage of spoils in Russia will have to be depised to delude the German people into con tinuing support of the war. If they win they will be atyle, they hope, to force France out of the war and pos. sibly to cut off the American commun ications. Then they would have hopes of beating the British army and ob taining peace with victory. The allies are ready for the German attack. There is no fear that the Ger mans will reach either Pari* or the Channel, no matter what sacrifice* they may make. In the meantime, having made their lines impregnable, the allies are actively engaged in plans for making German schemes in Russia come to naught. Much more has been accomplished in the crea tion of a definite allied policy than has been made public. The United States is the leader in the plana to aid Russia. The President may m At to give the public, and, of course, the enemy an inkling of what is to come, but If he should maintain sil ence it will not be the silence of doubt and inaction. If there were some evident-** of Al lied propaganda in Austria-Hungary and activity by the allied Beets la the Adriatic, there woo Id mob to bo no further developisnt of energy re quired to encompa** the defeat of the German*. While Russia la be ing propped up. the prop* should be knocked from under Austria. Om effort supplements the *tk*r, and both may b* neconaary to settle the war.
