and that by tail, all effects of the war
in Europe should be worn off. The men

Would be the first U teal the affaot of
bard times, they selling wholesale gro
ceries, produce and articles of men's
wear.
John B. Foster, of the Foater-Caviness
company, wholesale dealers in produce,
fruits, eggs, etc., when approached said,
"We have confidence in the future, but
feel like conditions will be slightly un
settled; but it appears that by hard
work and the use of good udgment. all
merchants that sell at wholesale should
enior fairlv good business " He con
tinued to the effect that business hsd
opened up much better than he had ex
pected and he sees no reason why it
should not continue to be at least fairly
good. Collections, according to Mf. Fos
ter, are only fair, but not so bad as dur
ing one or two months last fall.
C. C. McLean, of the Thomas and
Howard company, wholesale grocers,
said, "Business has been good since the
first of the year. On the first trip of
the year made by our traveling repre
sentatives, both collections and sales
were good- A little improvement is no
ticeable sll round, and I can see no rea
son why it shouldn't continue." He em
phasised the need of good weatherr
which would allow ,the roads to dry out
and the people in the country to reach
town as well as to allow local whole
sale dealers to make deliveries of goods
in rural districts.
"Prospects look better since the first
of the yshr," said W. M. Transon. of
the Trsneou Hat company, wholesale
dealer in men's head wear, "and u we
have some seasonable weather," he con
tinued, "business will open up on even
a larger scale and fair business will be
done from now on." He said that he
would not be surprised at anything hap
pening and for the reason, the chance of
the unexpected occurring, he was heart
ily in lavor ot economy, notn at home
and in business, thus putting anyone
in such a shape that they would be pra-
ared for anvthtng possible that migrit
appen. He nas hopes of excellent busi
ness in his and other lines- during the
coming fall, although he can see no rea
son for his hopes; it is just confidence.
All our traveling salesmen have gone
out on the road and each and every one
have done satisfactory business during

"The wholesale grocery business In
Greensboro was much larger In volume
in 11)14 than -during anv previous year,
notwithstanding the general business da-

Sales since January 1 have been heavy
nnd if orders come in through the month
.as t icv have sa far. this will be the his
Best January grocery jobbing business
in the history ot ursensDoro.
"There are several reasons for this
increase, one of the greatest factors be
ing favorable freight rstes. This, with
the aggressiveness a 'id hustle of our job
bers and the distwsition of our Best ana
largest merchants in this section to give
their business to ortli ijarolina. nouses,
is putting Greensboro on the map as a
Wholesale market.
K. F, Steele, of the American Commis
sion company, has the following, in
aliich many excellent reasons for the In
crease in business last year and why it
should be good the present year are giv
en: "The produce and grocery jobbers have
just closed one of the most successful
years in the history of the city, approxi
mately $2,000,000 worth of goods hav

her tonight at a dinner given by the
Lotus club In hi honor.
"W moat begin to comprehend that wt
must sheukies-the responsibilities we were
not ready to assume SO or 40 years ago
and which are now at our doors," -Mr,
Herrick said. "When the nations of Ilia
world begin to recoaform themselves w
must realise that we must take a large
interest in, world affairs and thst we
must take our proper placet in the world,
"I believe this war will rusks us more
freely realise the responsibility of our
duty to our neighbor. We must pre
pare ta advance on an efficiency basis, on
high soientifia lines. Too much has
been obtained by diplomacy in the past
that should hare beea obtained by effi

bent. "We have had less failures in Greens
boro and in points in which we distri
bute than in anv year in which I have
leen in the wholesale and jobbing busi
ness, which will date hank for 12 years.
The reason for this good record is that
Greensboro does not have to depend on
any one crop for its business, the di
versity of the crops proving the salva
tion of the city and section.
"The lax way in which numerous re
tailers extend credit is taken advantage
of br manv customers of these stores,
which in the end, makes the wholesale
merchants suffer, through the inability
of the rotau merchant to meet his obliga
tions promptly. If the retail merchants
would to a certain extent, eliminate
credit, the number of them failing would
be next to nothing, at least very low.
"Business is starting off the best ft
ever has for the new year and I look
forward to the best year we have ever
had. as collections are good, it not epocn
making, a good t arometer of business.

New York, Jan. 9. The sea is the
common property of all the world, and if
its freedom is maintained it will mean
cessation of war, asserted Dr. Bern
hard Darnburg, former Gorman colonial
secretary, in an address today before
the Republican club. The present strug
gle, he declared wss the fight "on the

seven seas and on the other for a free
sea." :
"The English have time and again
asserted," he said, "that Brittanla must
rule the waves as a matter of safety.
The British doctrine leads further, of
necessity, to the claim that the Brit
ish empire begins at the three-mile
limit of all other territory, a claim that
has no foundation either in the law of
nations or in the feeling of the civilized
world.
"We must establish a free sea to be
plied on exclusively by the merchant
marine of all nations. Men-of-war of
nny iitiwuu wuaieoever must oe loroia
den upon the high sea. When that is
done the world as it is divided now will
come to a permanent peace."
ARKANSAS BOY STRANGLES
HIS STEP-MOTHER TO DEATH
OF GIRLS DESCRIBED
One Writes That She Has One
Dollar Week Left on Which
To Dress On.
THEY GET NO INCREASES
New York, Jau. 9. Letters from eirls
employed in stores and shops describing
wage conditions were read today before
the commission investizwtiiur ths ad
visability of establishing minimum wages
for women and minors. One girl wrutei
"I am a clerk in one of those stores
which give $30,000 to, charity at a time.
I have been working three years and
lever got nn increase."
Anptasr gin writer -
"I au without father, mother or
brother to give me a helping -hand and
ant living on $5 a week. I pay 13 for
my ooara, i tor luncn ana ear lares
and have one whole dollar left to dres
on and keep up appearances.
Home U. Brown, who recently argued
before the United States Supreme court
against the Minnesota wage law, testi
fied low wage were not responsible for
immorality among working girls. He
held that immorality was due solely to
individual character.
Mrs. Maud Flowerton, who said she
represented "the better class of stors
Iris" created a stir when she denounced
soealled reformers, economists and
sociologists for shouting about immor
ality among saleswomen."
The better class saleswomen, she
said, "are pretty hot because of the criti-i
dsm of them and the talk about im
morality and all that sort of thing.
These soealled social workers who mak
breaks about the poor down trodden
shop girl mostly don't know what thoy
are talking about. Much talk has a
very bad moral effect."
Ths witness said she was opposed to
a minimum wage law, because it would
mean that a third of the girls now em
f loved would be thrown out of work,
t was only stock room girls who were
paid $6 a week and the reason why was
they were not worth more she ssid.
RUMANIA'S POSITION NOW

here yesterday in connection with the
killing of bis step-mother, Mrs. Olive
Oogpine, in St. Louis Tuesday, tonight
admitted that he strangled the woman
to death. '
"I didn't intend to kill her," Sheriff
Hutton declares the boy told him, "but
once I got hold of her throat I could not
let go until she was dead."

FATHER ELOPED WITH SON'S
BRIDE ON WEDDING NIGHT.
Patrograd, via London, Jan. 10.-4:15
a. m. Recent Russian victories in Buko-
wina and the occupation of Radautz and
Suczawa (Bukowina) enable the Rus
sians to cut off Rumania entirely from
Austria-nungary. 1 nis m loe situa
tion as outlined in dispatches from the
Iroi!-
This position of the Russians consid
erably alters the military and diplomat
ic situation, military men ssv, since the
yielding of Transylvania to Rumania no
longer depends upon Austria-Hungary
and any possibility of the latter invad
ing the Russian southern provinces of
Colhynia and Bessarabia, through Tran
sylvania is destroyed.
The question of whether Rumania will
join the allies now is less important, it
is asserted, because the victorious Rus
sian armies, in their wedge like position
between Rumania and Austria-Hungary
would paralyse any hostile action of
either against Russia.
