Washington. D. G, May 18? Two important fadors, it be came known today are working: to delay for another week Ger many's reply to the Lusitania note. Fir#, the next few days | expedled to show whether Ger many will be confronted with a new military situation by the - entrance of Italy into the war. - Second, iUiere&ed diplomatists here believe the interim of de lay will reveal whether the United States of its own initia t i ve will send a general protect to the allies again# alleged vio lations of international law by interfering with commerce be tween ports and neutral coun tries. Officials here generally think the Auglrian-Itnlian situ- 1 a lion hi ny absorb the attention of the German government and delay final composition of the reply, ft is realized that should Italy become a belligerent, Ger many would lose all hope of ob taining foodAuffc or other sup plies through the Mediterranean and if Rumania followed Italy's > le?d, as predided the wheat sup ply from Southern Europe would be cut off. In such drcum fiances it was explained in diplomatic quarters Germany would Gnd the submarine even more invaluable as a weapon for reducing enemy supply and commerce. The idea that the United Slates will send a note to tbe al iies seeking, modification of the order in council has' its origin in quarters where Jhe convidion is held that such a move would : , ^dcmonilrato to Germany thai the Unite* States intends to be equally vigorous lii 'insi&ing on the observance of nentral right* by Great Britain and Jier allies nfaking unnecessary an offer by Germany to return to the mari time rules of international law if the a I ligk do likewise. . Although without definite in formation, there is a disposition in well informed quarters here to ?ji believe the President will with hold any representations to Eng land until Germany's reply is "V received, because- of desire to obtain a frank understanding * . with Germany without compjfr eating the situation aj exiting between the United States oad ??M the allies. W' : It is known that for several weeks, there havtebeen ijnder preparation two notes eventually jSt T?| io dc seal to ureal unlaw, one dealing with the general subject of contraband and the other em bracing general representations or detentions of vessels plying between neutral ports cairjiug non-contraband American goods. Secretary Bryan said today that from twenty to tbirfy ship* had been detained by the allies, mo& of them carrying cotton. He explained the State Depart ment was pot yet in possession of all the facts and was investi gating. British officials here indi cated that, In their opinion, modi of the detentions and delays were due to carelessness by American shippers in failing ?o give selling prices and other in formation i? their invoices. In diplomatic quarters friendly to Germany, it is confidently be lieved that the German reply to the United Slatei will be con ciliatory and make broad con cessions in principle if it is cer tain that strong efforts will be made (o induce thie allies to abandon their commercial em bargo. There i* little fear now that any passenger ships will be torpedoed while the diplomatic discussions are i? progress, for it was poinded out that since the suggedlons of the AuArian and German embassies here that the submarine program be suspend ed had reached Vienna and Ber lin, there had been no such at 'acks, although many oppor iunities had presented them selves. The Lusilania case, it Is be lieved, will be dealt with separ ately from the general subjedl In the German reply. Comments of the Berlin press confirm views expressed here that Ger many will disavow any intention of destroying American lives, contending that ull would have been saved but for explosions in the ammunition cargo. r. -i ; . : i ? > Unthouglitedly Your May Save; Several of the leading rflores of Farmville have made arrange ment with the Union Cash Sales Company of Richmond, Va-, which will enable them to give away with all cosh purchases Gold and Silver Certificates representing the amount of the purchase.

DELINQUENT TOWNS Towns and Neighborhood That Have Ncgleded Clean-Up Days. The State Boaid of Health has its eyes on a number of towns and communities throughout the State that have not, up to the present time, held an annual clean-up week. Whether they intend to or not is not known. But it is known that if clean-up weeks are to be productive of the greateft good, that the soon er they are observed from now the more good they will accom plish. Ju? as it is too late to lock the stable after the horse is stolen, so it becomes too late after the flics are hatched and swarming to clean up as a means of fly prevention. This applies of course to the firfl fly crop which is, more or less, an easy matter to prevent if begun in time, but as there are other xrops to fol low in rapid succession, about every ten days, no time can be lo$ in preventing a full harvest. The greater the delay in getting at it, the harder the fight will be. It was with a feeling of pride, no doubt, that the Goyernor of "North Carolina, in viewing the matter oi clean up week, deemed it unnecessary to issue a Clean up Week proclamation. Gover nors of Other Aates have taken this means by way of suggesting to the people the importance of guarding against disease by pro moting cleanly and sanitary home conditions. But there is no doubt but that North Caro lina's Governor felt that the pride and the intelligence of North Carolina's citizens needed not this injunction to make them clean up their homes, neighbor hoods and towns. He took this as matter of course. Whether or not the Governor placed too high an estimate on the people's pride and health intelligence re mains yet to be seen. Some towns and communities have only a few days of grace in which to prove themselves. Towns and neighborhoods that have no clean up days are held in as high c&ecm as housekeep ers who have no house clean ings. They in the same class. JONES-CARBO.
