A professional man," or the person who uses his biain more than his body, needs protein foods quite as much as the man of active life, but he needs these foods served in such form as will not tax his digestion. For example—a person leaning over a desk day after day will not not be able to breathe as deeply as one doing heavy out-door labor; consequently he is not able to oxi dize or break down the heavy foods completely, hence the neces sity for the delicate or lighter pro teins in his diet—as rare beef, roast or steak, tender fowl, eggs or game or white fish, while the man of open air work may eat not only these foods, but foods of coarser protein, as beans, p-as, rich red meats, fat fish, and in addition that class of oelong to the heat producing foods, such as pork, opossum, goose.

Not only does age and occupation play an important part in the feed ing of our family, out climate must also be considered. \V'hen cold weather comes people are apt to drop the fruits and green vege tables from their dietary. - The system craves a more heat ing diet—those foods that are rich In starch, sugar, oils and fats—to keep up the neat of the body; but the winter diet of fat and heat pro ducing foods should not be used exclusively. At least once each day during " the whole winter,, there should be a good supply of fresh or canned green vegetables on our tables. Onions can always be kept; celery and lettuce are possible. Canned tomatoes and vegetables of nearly every kind, dried and can ned fruits aro possible to all who have a small acreage of land. The large amount of protein, meat, eggs, cheese, peas and beans, aud ' carbonaceous foods— sugar starch, oils, and fats,—eaten during the winter makes It necessary that the aystem should be supplied with adds, vegetable minerals and salts, that thease green foods contain in order that the system may be kept cleansed. No housewife should allow her self to fall Into the habtt of giv *. ing a meat and bread diet. Eat plenty of good winter foods, such pork, potatoes, cotnbread, peas and and beans, tout balance It with plenty of fresh Vegetahles and fruits. Serve onions with potatoes, tomatoes with beans, apple sauce with meat. Balance your diet and vou will he better able to real it the changes of winter. . During the heat of summer the green foods, fresh vegetables, fruits and melons, should predominate, he cause the system la kept cool and cleansed by theae mineral aalts that are so abundant In thli class of food. Every housewife I* responsible. In a great measure, for the health and happiness of her household. Right at her own tahle la to be found the cause of much of the unrest and Ir rlfjotOtv exhibited In her house hold. CARK OP HOUSE. THE KITCHEN. Bach room in the house has Its distinct and separate function* In the domestic economv. Take for •sample, (he kitchen, the most im portant room in the house, the wo man's workshop. It is the place where the food is prepared and cooked and where the dishes are washed. What then are the requisites foi this workshop? Since the house keeper spends a Urge part of each day in her workshop, it, first of all. should be well lighted and venti lated. It should be comfortably warm in winter and cool In summer floor, walla and celling should he - of such material aa may be easdy cleaned The equipment for the work that is to be done should be ample, of good quality, intelligent ly selected, and above all. so ar- I ranged that the various tasks oi 1 the kitchen may be |uickly per formed, and with the least expend iture of energy. FLOORS. 4 No entirely satisfacto: finish for Sj the kitchen floor has yet aeen found. The time honored was of scrubbing with soap and water makes the whitest and cleanest looking floor it is true—but think of the work required. Linoleum is undoubtedly the best floor surface. It is thick enough to be warm ami is easlT for the feet than anv other Poor surface. It wears well and is easilv cleaned by mopping, but the first cost is too great for anv but a small kitchen or .1 larjfe pocket book. Congoleiim is an excellent floor covering and is cheaper than lin oleum. Oilcloth may be used but it wears PAINTED FLOORS. Two good coats of floor paint in tan or gray are attractive In appearance and wear well. When worn soots appear they should oe touched up at once. If tha f'oor is not hard wood it should oe giv en two coats of shellac before the paint is applied, and all cracks should nt forst be filled with a crack filler. CARE OF PAINTED FLOORS . Sweep the floor at)d wipe off the dust with a damp cloth. If this will jiot all the dust, use a wi*bfcn cloth wryng out of hot wa ter. ,If there are spots that will not come off use a little soap on the cloth,"but painted floors are ruin ed by using a scrubbing brush and soap and water. Once a week af ter having swept the floor, go over with a cloth dfampened with one part of boiled linseed oil and one part of turpentine, or, kerosene oil may be used. This cloth may be put on an old broom and the floor quickly gone over. The work of caring for a floor in this manner is much less than when a great dial of soap and wa ter is used; and, moreover, the floor is in a sanitary condition, because thj boards are dry and eleun. Second, the oil must be rubbed into the boards thoroughly so as .have a smooth surface. Boiled linseed oil drieß more quickly than raw oil. It is well to add a little turpentine, as it will make the oil less sticky. The daily care of the floor consists of sweeping, anil if there are any coil ed spots clean by wiping them off with a flannel cloth wrung out of hot water. If this does not re move all the dirt a little soap may be rubbed on tha cloth. Once a week at least wipe the lloor with a damp cloth using soip, * il .1 necessary; wipe very dry, and then go over all the floor with a cloth made slighfly with kerosene, or boiled oil and turpentine. This should be rub bed in thoroughly and the floor should not be walked on, if it is possible to avoid it for an hour or emore. WALLS The kitchen walls whelher of wood or plaster should be painted. A good, light colored paint re flect* the light HO tha tone can see well in anv part of the kitchen. Paint may lie wiped off easily with a broom covered with a damp cloth, and Is made absolutely clean and fresh by scrubbing with a soft cloth and warm water with aal soda. In these days of enameled paint the shelves of nil kitchen closets should be painted. This takes the place of covering them with ua|>er. If the expense of paint oil tlie plastered walls is too great kalsomine or a whitewash of lime will freshen the wall, and can be easily renewed. A specialist from the Department of Agriculture _of Washington, In studying farm conditions in Penn sylvania, learned that a woman had broken down from overwork. She had been carrying coal to the kitchen from the barn for year* When the husband was asked if there was any reason why a coal bunker could not have been pro vided near the cook atove and fill ed directly from his'wagon, he ans wered, "nobody had ever thought of It." Perhaps this seems exaggerated , somewhat to manv, but suppose , you think over your own kitchen and answer these, questions for I yourselves. 1. Have you a coal or a wood f J>ox near v'our range? 4. Can you rearrange your kitch , en so you will not h*ve t owalk j so far from stove to w >rk table, t and rom the ,work table to the , pantry? S. Do you have blue flam" kero . sene stove to do your canning on and to use when heavier meali do not have to be cooked? 4. DJ you have a sink? Is it possible to have a si ik to drain waste water outsid.• of the housel S. Have you « work table th ■ 1 right height for sroj s > that you 1 do not have to stoop over? r ft. Do you hang your sauce pans " graters, potato mashers near youi " work table, or do you hive to walk J across the room to get them? ' Do keen any cooking f utensils in the that could hang more conveniently near th« r work table. * 8.

" 'j, Upon the forii.aiiun c»('•Graham! > Commercial Club on ihe evening of I, April 21, Air. llur.J. n uun inviit-d io : i deliver an addieaa. lie nalO : jj In discussing any subject, or in dis-' 1 cussing the development oi any eruer- '■ prise or institution, it is usually CUB- ; lomary to look into the history oi ti'ic i' subject or the history of tlje develop- 1 ment of the institution or ente. priie. In directing your attention to our 1 s'ubject this evening we think it not 1 amiss to refer to the historyciof nome of the earlier Chambers of Commerce, ' their organization and their experien ces. i These institutions were of Continen tal Europe in like so many i others which England or rather the , British Isles had borrowed from that source, were first introduced by Scot land, the Scotch people in all times having been to the forefront in prog- 1 ress. The oldest Chamber of Commerce of which we have any record was organ ized in the city of Marseilles in France, about the end of the four teenth or beginning of the fifteenth century. This Chamber was invested i with very remarkable powers. It shared in the municinal jurisdiction and in the administration of justice in mercantile questions. The second chamber in France was that in Dun , kerque established in 1700. In the . ' same year a counsel general of com- I merce was instituted in Paris, and this soon led to the establishment of cham bers of commerce in ' the principal cities all over France. Thus the cham ber at Lyons was instituted in 1702. Those of Kouen and Toulouse in 1703, Montpelier in 1704, and Bordeaux in 1705, etc. These chambers grew to be so powerful, and their political poten tial grew to be so great tftat they were all suppressed by a decree of the National Assembly in 1791. But they were re-established by a consular edict in 1802, which fixtd the popula tion of the towns in which they might | be established and the number of their members, these to be chosen from , among the merchants and tradesmen , who had carried on trade in person for a period of not less than ten years. Sixty of the best known merchants presided over by the prefect, or the Maire, were charged to elect the mem bers of these new chambers. So we see from this short history that the early development of these chambers was fraught with the usual difficulties encountered in the development of any worth-while enterprise. They were in fact so restricted by the prefect, that ' he chose the chief merchants from ' each town who were to elect the mem- 1 bers of these chambers. Their num ber could not be less than nine nor more than 21. They held their mem bership for six years, one-third of their members being renewed every ' two years. They were required to give to the government information on in- 1 dustrial and commercial subjects; to suggest the means of increasing the industry and commerce of their re spective districts, or of improving commercial legislation and taxation; to suggest the execution of works requisite* for the public service, or which might tend to increase of trade or commerce; such as the construction of harbors, the deepening of rivers, the development of railways and the like. On these subjects the advice of the chambers, when not volunteered, was demanded by the government, so that we see at this early date these insti tutions had grown to be so important that theyjwere relied upon by the gov ernment for valuable development ami expansion work, and in fact were about the first efficient Census Bureau. The institution of these chambers in Great Brittain is believed to have be gun with the ojie in Glasgow which received its charter in Jan., 1783. Then quickly followed those at Edin burgh, Manchester, Hull, Liverpool, ly—and Bradford. Their history, functions and ac complishments were very closely akin to those of the French chambers here tofore recited. The first chamber in this country was formed in tKS City of New York in 1768. It at first consisted of twenty four leading merchants, who estab lished an exchange which still exists, though under other control. Its ob jects were to promote commerce, maintain industry, settle disputes con cerning trade, and secure necessary legislation for Ita aecurity and ad vancement. A court of arbitration was formed to adjust differences be tween ita members, and thereby much litigation was avoided. The present membership is about one thousand, and includes the moat prominent busi ness men and financiers of the city. Meetings are held monthly and the room* contain very extensive collec tions of statistics. With this brief resume of the com ing of the chamber of commerce as a potential developing institution, w come now to your chamber and some of ita duties to itself. One of the greatest problems which every movement for civic advance has to meet la that of lining up all ele ments for effective team work. Har monious co-operation ot all interests is necessary. A great many com munitiea are cursed by petty jeal ousies. Their power for mischief af fecta every public enterprise. If one man starts a movement all the pfeople who do not like him personally begin to throw cold water. They make sar castic remarks about his project. The result la that people are not inclined to take hold and push for fear they make themselvea ridiculous. It la dif ficult to promote public enterprises under the most favorable conditions. The moment that we let personal feel ing enter It becomes impossible to get unity of action. One act of people . will try one thing only to aee It fail under a wet blanket of ironical akepti . clam. They feel disgusted, and the ■ next time anyone elae starts anything they In turn stand back and Jeer. The • logical outcome is that every one feels ' afraid of starting any new movement ' for fear of becoming ridiculous. It Is easy to stand on one side and make 1 superior remarks about the poor judg [ ment of our neighbors much eaaier than it la to take hold and heln them push. Under such condition* civic sen timent dissipates and your town's growth will languish. If there Is any r thing of that aentlment here, a com i pact chamber of commerce will be a most potent factor In its elimination, r You will get together in your meet- I ings; you will talk over the matters » before you. You will get Vbur neigh bor's viewpoint. You will aee the 1 proposition from his angle. You will ' find, probably, that ha has the right '• Idea. You will begin to believe In him. and, almost before you realise it, you will be enthusiastically supporting what you had before assumed was an utterly untenable propoaltlon. So the elimination of this first difficulty and the discharge of your first duty to yourself la automatically accomplished in your good fellowship. The mer chant finds that hia competitor Is de cent; and even the ministers of differ ent denominations begin speaking to each other. They likewise nray for everybody instead of for their own 1 se*. «"-*• also has been the evolution f among business men by becoming acquainted in these meetings. Your next duty to yourself is to] build up a strong, vigorous, powerful and dynamic organization, subdivided , so that you -get the benefit of the ability of your best men and strongest material in 'their best fitted capacities. You will require "a committee on your iHivision of organization. Your treasurer iVould in all probability be the most sui'able man to be in charge of this division'. You will require funds. He will see that your member ship is kept up, alive, and that your iiiiaiice Vommittee prepares a proper budget; Vhat the entertainment com mittee takes care of all local enter ' "'-mentsXand that your house com mittee proves you with suitable quarters. X. Your division? of pijfilicity might v-"'l be 'n thevnandff-of your presi lent. He would require your very loyal and active support. No one man is big ogough to do a t>ig thing alone, and the more he realizes this the big ger he is. The big things are done by big groups of men, and the bigger the man at the head of it the bigger the machine should be. Your cham ber of commerce realizes that Gra ham is a good place, and it will be the duty of this committee to tell its own people and the people that it wishes '.o interest in Graham just what a good place it is. A has been given for advertising. "Teaching the people to believe in you and your goods." The purpose of this division is to teach the people of the country at large to Believe in Graham and her advantages and undeveloped oppor tunities. It will .prepare copy for pamphlets, booklets, folders, and other forms of advertising. It will use the statistics prepared by the. statistical committee. It will prepare apecifft literature Use at conventions and other gatherings and call attention in every way possible to your advan tages. Your division of public affairs I This committee would ,work with your board of town commissioners, and your County Commissioners, in the enactment of such matters as would tend to make things better for Graham and her growth. It would investigate the best plans for public improve ment and recommend such as might be thought best for your civic better ment to the two boards of commis sioners. The division of business develop ment would see that your express, freight, telegraph, and telephone ser vices were adequate and at equitable rates; that your other public utilities fompanies', holding franchises from vonr town were giving your citizens efficient service at reasonable rates. The division of industrial develop ment would provide ways and means, to aSSist prospective manufacturers to locate in Graham, and to assit in fi nancing such home institutions as may need assistance. The division of statistics must make •i careful survey, showing just what is manufactured, in what quantities, how much labor is employed, and as far as is possible see that when the manu factured or produced articles are dis tributed, furnish statistics of farm lands, productions, etc. Your division of farm development has before it one of the largest and most continuous tasks, as well as the task that will produce the greatest re sul's, if properly handled, of any com mittee or any division. By proper or ganization this committee can secure every assistance from the Department of Agriculture. It can also secure, by meeting the proper demands, $1,000.00 in cash from the crop improvement de partment of the Associated Boards of Trade. It can make possible the pro duction of sufficient truck and small fruits to cause small canneries to spring up all over the county, suffi cient to produce all the home supplies tjeodcd, and to assist in building more good roads and streets and in building altogether a larger, wealthier, and more prosperous farming community. These are some of the duties that you owe to yourself, in making you a potential tangible factor in commun ity building and community develop ment. Now as to your duties to your com munity. It has been said and truth fully so, "That every human institu tion is the lengthened shadow of a man." The application of this prin ciple to communities would warrant our coining the truism or axiom, "that a community is the lengthened shadow of her citizenship." Your organiza tion will be composed of your repre sentative citizens. Your representa tive citizens are enjoying their cel ebrity or distinction, in their va rious "fields, for the reason that the, generation which preceded us made j this a better ami larger and more inr | viting community than it was when that generation came in possession of; it. And just so it has been bettered by j each succeeding generation since the. days when our pioneer forefathers builded their habitations by invading j the depths of our primeval forests, i where they found neither habitation nor home, husbandry or harvest. Thiß process of progress, develop ment and betterment, from generation to gene-ration, hns known but one in terruption, and that came in the years, of '6l to '6f>—a period in which was being written into our history the story of more heroic sacrifice than the world had yet known. - While that generation did not leave us a great accumulation of material advance, *s the banker would count it, it did leave ua a heritage of valorous and spiritual values that make the strength and the grandeur of nations. That generation sacrificed its tens of thousands of its young manhood. It had swept away the accumulated treasure of centuries; but, thank God, they could not kill and they could not destroy "The land the Lord thy God giveth thee." Behold our smiling hills and valleys lying sweet and wholesome under the haze of this April evening, and be lieve that the civilisation bequeathed to us shall not perish from the earth. It is the civilization that took these hills and valleys from a veritable wreck and tomb and made them blos soms as the rose. Happily, we are far removed .from the rivers of blood that arr at present flowing from the wounds of European States but our experience is a sacred token to them, that out of the wreck of poor Belgium another and a grander Belgium shall arise. That another France, another Ger many, another Russia, and Austria and England shall be builded in the patience of eternal time. This reference to the generation immediately preceding us'is brought to your attention to inspire you with your larger duty in the face of this unparalleled and indescribable civic sacrifice. s. Your duty to your community ran only begin to be discharged whetf you begin to know that community. When you begin to know your community you will begin to believe in it. You will begin to believe actively in Gra ham as the beat town in your county; in Alamance aa the best county in your State; in your State as the beat in th» Union; in the United States as the best country in the world, and in the world as the beat planet in the uni verse. Unsupported claims are of no use to anyone, and what I shall have to aay now it said advisedly and in all delib eration. North Carolina has the best climate and the best rainfall of any i State in the Union. Climate makes a State fit to live in. Rainfall and a 'mild climate make it an agricultural attraction. Soil ,is a factor but fer tility can be made. Kansas, Califor nia, Ohio and Indiana are not so fer tile now as they were a decade ago. North Carolina is more fertile. Fer tility is under the control of man. • Climate and rainfall are .not. There fore, we must regard North Carolina as one of the foremost agricultural possibilities on the earth. Five thous and people could find opportunity in Jones County to raise cotton. Aa many more could go to Moore to raise scup pernongs, to Henderson to raise ap ples, to Robeson to raise canteloupts, or to Cumberland to raise tobacco, and it is your chief duty to teach as much of the world as you can that all of these people might come to Alamance and find a veritable x arden "Pot for the production of all Of this great va riety of commodities. In the last fifteen years North Car olina has doubled -her farm products. In the last five years it has almost doubled again. This surprising record if kept up for another ten years, will make North Carolina agriculturally one of the first three States of this Union. It is up to you to spread the intelligence that, Alamance is in the front ranks of tills progress. Mill development is fully as rapid. Fourteen years ago our factories pro duced 86 millions of dollars worth of goods. Now we produce over three hundred millions. Factories are di versified to scores of different line*. They will diversify more because they now have the power. In the last dozen years the development end transmis jaion of electric power, in our State, Tiaa been one of the marvels of the industrial world. The State is grid ironed with power wires and Alamance has her share. This one single thing of electrical development, that has commenced in the State, means a revo lution with industrial things in North Carolina as a cradle of expansion and training ground, with Alamance in the very heart thereof. Ten years from now the electrical atmosphere of ini dustrial Alamance will be a marvel even to you who will help to create it I have had people laugh at me when I would make the remark that North Carolina had the best climate in the United States. I showed them the re port of the weather bureau, which tells that in every State along the Canadian frontier, except New York and New England in the rural districts, the thermometer goes higher in summer than in North Carolina. They marvel when I tell them that the ££tawba has power enough to turn all the wheels in the great manufac turing State of Connecticut; that one big dam now building on the Yadkin would run two-thirds of the machinery in Vermont. And you will probably be surprised to the statement that the unde veloped and unapplied energy on Haw River would drive every mill in our county, if properly developed to con vert the energy into electro motive force and then electrically transmitted and electrically applied at the point of consumption. A recent expert report estimates that 40 per cent of the power generated in our county is be ing used to drive transmission ma chinery. No spirit of criticism here, but it only illustrates that we are so sloppy with opportunity that we are wasting all this. Ours is the one county that is self contained, and self-providiijg. It has the farms on which to feed the people; the factories in which to employ them; the power to run the mills; fair rail road facilities, besides a surplus of products eagerly 'sought for by other communities and other States. I think that you understand as well ; as I do, that here is a land of bound- I less possibilities. If I were asked! how many people Alamance County could sustain, I would say that Bel gium prior to the present war con tained 13 times as many people to the square mile as we do, and they seemed to live in comfort there with not near so much of natural advantage as. we have. Using Belgium as an illustra tion I would say that 13 times as many people as we have now, or about 390 thousand would be about the figure 1 would recommend to start with. When we have gotten that number, then we can begin to figure on how many more to think about bringing among us. Belgium has about as much terri tory as the coastal plains of our State and she has more population than both the Carolinas, Virginia and Maryland, which is all that need be said about our room for more people. To promote development we must get people. I don't count myself an old man, yet I remember when we spoke of Ohio !as way-out-west. From the birth of I this government it has been an aver age only just a little over three years ! between new States. The people to make new States are increasing faster ' now than ever. The new States are 1 all made. The people will go on mak- I ing farms and factories, and towns ; and communities, and they will follow the lines of least resistance in finding the place, if they know where these lines are. To show them is our task— your duty to your community. To get these people is our need and there are plenty of them to be had. There are thousands of peOple looking for Gra ham today. There are thousands of people looking for the community spirit that has given you the best paved town of its sise that I ever aaw. There are lota of people in this big world that are looking for a chance to do something for themselves in a community like this that first of all believes in itself. We must furnish our newspapers with information about Graham and her attraction#. The papers will arouse the enthusiasm of our jnople. Then the papers will lead our campaign of publicity. You must each one constitute yourself the aggressive agent of development and make your paper your enthusiastic organ, and then, aa the good old-time darkey said when he was wrestling with a piece of tough beef steak, yw must chaw for God's sake. After all, we are only rich or pros perous or growthy by companion. I I have recently had occasion to compare our growth with a rich and prosperous section in the middle west to be exact with central Ohio. The barometers by which we measured were, increase in population, post office receipts, bank deposits, and taxable valuation of property. . .... In population we about held our own, in fact, out growing Ohio only one-half per cent In post office re ceipts we outgrew her decidedly. In increase In bank deposits we are far i ahead, and our increase in manufac , tured products of over 800 per cent In ten years waa so greatly In our favor that it was really good to read the figures. I have not referred to our tempo ' rary resources, like timber, mineral deposits, etc., which are valuable in themselves and of great importance, still they are temporary and not to the same class with thoee permanent things that are of everlasting worth. One of our most attractive advantages i. is that our resources are so distrib ' uted, that in every township in the i, State it is possible, to establish varied i industries. We do not have to bunch our industries to cities where coal and >, iron and shop room may be had, as ' I is the case in ether States whan the utilities must be assembled. We ate not compiled to crowd into ' centers of population. Look at i the manufacturing development that i crowds the Southern Railway from the I Virginia line to the South Carolina ' border. It is a continuation of mill communities, with their farm settle ments about them. At the last census \ we ranked eight in the States in rural population. Only seven States are de ■veloped ail through the rural region more than ours. In city population this State ranks 21st, but we are practically alone in having farm and factory property de velopment scattered over the entire State. In other words the farm is where it can feed the factory. " Your duty to your community is great, for you have a great commun ity full of wonderful resource and marvelous opportunity. You are going to have a worth-while chamber of commerce for yeu mani fest that you are in earnest about it. When you get your job started, stay with it. Of all the remarks that have ever been made about me, as long as I can remember, the one that pleases me most, was that made by an old Confederate veteran friend of mine, "when that chap starts on a job he never knows when to quit.". When you gonhome from here, go determined •to cut out the muffler. Open wide the throttle, and advise the rest «f the world to excuse the dust as Alamance County and Graham whip past. Washington News. Cor. of The" Gleaner. Washington, May 7, 1915. THE PRESIDENT'S NOTE TO GERMANY. The stand taken by President Wilson rela i/e Ito the barbarous Wand savage act on the part of Germany in sinking the Lusitania, a strictly unarmed merchant ship, and drowning more than one hun dred American citizens, fully comes up to the expectation of the Amer ican people. The note* has the true American ring throughout, and in it he demands of that the practice of sinking merchant ships without giNing the passengers and crew time to disembark in the life boats must cease, and furthermore Germany must make full reparation - for what she has already done and and the pledge is demanded that 4 it will not happen again in the fu- | ture. THE GERMAN AMERICANS. !, It is gratifying to observe that a great many Germi'j Americans severelv condemn Germany for the lai barouti act in sinking * the Lu sitania without giving any warn- . ing or time for the passengers apd crew to launch and eater the lne boats. Still there are many Ger mans, the hyphenated Americans, who gloat over the act just as the savage barbarians did two thou sand years ago when women ana _ children were slaughtered the same as soldiers. Any American citizen of German blood who approves of the sinking of the Lusitania is un worthy to live under the stars ano stripes that wave over the land of the brave and) the home of thei free. EDITORS WHO APPROVE OP THE SLAUGHTER. The press of the country, except that small portion under the con trol of the Germans, is not only unanimous but severe in its con demnation of Germany for murder ing men, women and children on the high seas. President Wilson has been urged to take action against those papers which have approved the barbarous and dia- - | bolical acf of Germany in destroy ing American lives on :he high seas as th» United.
