LiEELANAT TORPEDOED BY GER
. MAN SUBMARINE BUT AIL
OR5CBEW SAVED.
WheU th, American steamer Lee
lanaw frarpedoed and sunk by a
Grmai submarine off the Orkney
Islandaj. Supday night fresh fuel was
added poiiS troubles between the
United Stte and Germany. All of
the criw : Was warned .in time and
escape vessel was loaded with
flax, vihtcti:ha8 been declared con
traband 6f;Fir. While Germany has
declared f?4; contraband, it had not
been st considered in treaties prior
to the European war. The fact that
the crjwvw permitted to ,get off
will meau'tbrat President Wilson will
not hold tJhjls such a serious wrong
to .our tgoyernment.
In three instances of American
ships destroyed or damaged, the Gul
night,fihe -Nebraskan and the Wil
liam If. ;3faye Germany has agreed
to pay damages, and in the last case
the Berlin; government took the posi
tion thatit had not violated the
treaty ;ofS28, but had exercised a
right jgiveu her by inference from
the language of the pact.
The fact that the Leelanaw carried
a cargo" 6 flax, declared absolute
contr,ban4rby Germany on April 18,
does not alter the view of the United
Statess government that the contra
band might have been removed and
the vessel jspared.
The "United States, in the case of
the WllJIam P. Frye. took its stand
irrespective or the general principles
of international law, going back to
a prior authority the Prussian
American treaty of 1828 as a docir
ment thit covered completely any at

contraband. That treaty especially

Austro-Germans Checked.
The Austro-German attempts to
envelop the Russian armies defend
ing Warsaw and to capture the Pol
ish capital, which for a time progress
ed almost with the momentum of
the offensive that cleared Galicia of
the Russians, have been almost halt
ed and where the Germans are mov
ing it is only by yards and at a tre
mendous cost. German Field Mar
shal von Mackensen has taken' a few
villages on the way to the Lublin
Chelm railway between the Vistula
and Bug rivers and the Austrians,
but counter attack on Sckal, have
taken 'positions which will make the
German flank , safer, but Berlin re
ports that "otherwise the position of
the German troops under Von Mack
ensen remains unchanged."
Along the western bank of the-Vis-tula,
from Invangorod and Nove
Georgievsk, even smaller advance ap
parently has been made, while along
the Narew Von Hinderburg, who has
been trying to drive a wedge in be
hind Warsaw, is largely occupied with
meeting Russian counter attacks.
Petrograd claims that these coun
ter attacks have forced the Germans
back across the river at some points,
but Berlin asserts that they have fail
ed and that the Germans are movinjn
eastward.
The Russians, defeated recently in
the Baltic province, have turned
there. Everywhere Ihe battles are
at their height.
.Wih the interest centered on the
ast important French advances in
Alsace hare been overlooked. Paris
report anotner success north of
Munster. where the French have con
centrated their artillery. The artil
lery also is playing an important
part along the Isonzo, where for
three days the Italians concentrated
their fire on the Austrian positions.
A Geneva dispatch declares the
Austrians are evacuating Geortsia
and the evacuation of Pedgore is
only a question of hours'. The same
dispatch says that at Deberdo the
Austrians are guarding the route to
Trieste, and are unable to hold their
positions. On the Carso plateau, ex
cept for a few trenches, the Italians
have captured the entire plateau, the
Austrians losing two thousand men.
xxie Kreai Italian offensive on the
1 m ,
una ks oi me isonzo is proceeding
favorably.
iThe casualities in the fighting on
tbj Italo-Austrian frontier nave late-
J4ybeen very heavy, according to a
dispatch received by the Tribune of
Geneva. The Austrian losses would
appear to be the heavier, according
to this newspaper.
Germany Will Not Hurry.
There is every indication that con
siderable time will elapse before the
German government makes any at
tempt to answer the latest American
npte on the Sinking of the Lusitania.
Should the United Spates protest to
Grea Britain in regard to restric
itons placed upon shipping, which it
is reported in Berlin is being formu
lated, be couched in firm tones, it is
considered possible the German reply
would not be brusque.
n the absence of evidence that the
United States intends to force Great
Britain to abandon the policy Ger
many considers illegal, condemnation
of President Wilson's note is univer
sal. Hope has not been abandoned,
however, that the United States may
intend to assail vigorously Great
Britain's methods of controlling the
sea. Until this point becomes clear
the Berlin foreign office probably
will mark time.
Theodor Wolff, editor-in-chief of
the Berliner Tageblatt, commenting
on the American note to Germany,
says :
"There is no reason to try to dis
cover perfume between the thorns in
the American note to console our
selves. The American government
demands that its citizens travel in
satety in war time, where and when i
they please. If they sit on a powder
cask any one lighting a cigar in their
vicinity would be guilty of an un
friendly act. President Wilson's
standpoint is unconditionally opposed
to reasonable rights auu lawful rea
sons. ,
"We understand perfectly that
every neutral state should endeavor
to preserve the personal fredo;n of
its citizens, Dut we carnot under
stand a policy which say3 to one bel
ligerent power thai the war does not
concern us,' while at he same time
furnishing wvr material to another
power in order to derive the greatest
PjeeHxie-oroBts.; - r
"We are not so slavishly uni'ree )n
our thinking as Americans are told.
We believe that Mr. Wilson essential
l.v is not free, and that his ideas of
humanity and neutralit- are rot vol
untarily in accord with the interests
of his electors. Especially those of
as who have not forgotten, even in
this war, that antiqiiPted views and
arrangements must be overcome,
have laid great store by the friend
ship of American democracy, but we
see with regret that President Wil
son, though a Democrat, advances
the interests less of peaceable de
moracy than those, of grain-hungry
plutocracy.
"We have an urgent desire to have
the rules of humanity observeo so far
as possible, and to use "all means to
rescue and give protection to sea
travelers, but there must be a prac
tical means to this humane purpose.
It is not humane, instead it is a mis
use of this noble word, when it is
exacted that protection of life must
serve as protection for an enemy at
tack, or for trade in ammunition."
DR. WALKER HELD
ON BIGAMY CHARGE.
Dr. W. H. D. Walker, the Savan
nah man held at Rockingham on the
charge of bigamy, having, according
to the charges filed against him, mar
ried Miss Marie Paschal when he al
ready had a wife, was given a pre
liminary hearing Tuesday by Justice
6f the Peace W. F. Long. He waived
examination and was held for Su
perior court under a bond of $10,
006. He was unable to give bond,
but it is understood that he claims
that he has friends in New York who
will come to his assistance.
Walker, it is believed, will try to
regain the affection of Miss Paschal,
then secure aMivorce from his first
wife and legally marry Miss Parchal.
But the impression Is that Miss Pas
chal will have nothing more to do
with the -physician.
Mrs. Vaught, of Savannah, an aunt
of the woman who claims to be Dr.
Walker's legal wife, is the chief
prosecuting witness. She was not
in Rickingham at the trial, but she
used the wire effectively. She is
understood to claim that " she wit
nessed the ceremony uniting Walker
to her niece.
Miss Edna Wharton, of McLeans

the sub-agents of the county, and
all ? of these were in attendance. The
school was conducted by Miss Grace
Schaeffei, head of the work in this
county, and Miss Evans, of Raleigh,
assistant field agent. Both expressed
themselves as highly pleased with
the meeting.
Monday was given over to the
making of peach, apple, orange and
mint jelly, while on Tuesday demon
strations were given in the canning
of tomatoes in tin and glass cans for
commercial use. Demonstrations
were also given in the making of va
rious kinds of catsups.
There are 10 clubs in the county
and besides Miss Schaeffer, who will
personally supervise the work of the
cauniug. cJubs..at-IcLeaiiaviJle. - and

This year tsilsCrai the different
cluvs will meet atone" of the iem
bers homes to do tha canning on
one; day and tien at another the"
next day and so on until they have
met at each girl'sr home. This is
thought to be a much better plan
thatflaat,.year. when- heym"eaebr
timaaptteVcertain plar and the
girls were required to haul their to
matoes some little distance.
Friday the Guilford College club
will attend the farmers' institute at
the Battle Ground' and will give a

Saturday to assist in a? meeting for
women and girls in that county.
BIG THINGS PLANNED
FOR SUNDAY. SCHOOLS.
The North Carolina Sunday School
Association Is planning its work on
a larger scale than has heretofore
been attempted. The recent gift of
$500 by one business man of" the
state to the work shows the confi
dence of the state In it.
The work of the educational de
partment is typical of what can be
accomplished by a well organized
state department. It exists to pro
mote types of Sunday school training
and aid in getting Sunday school
preparation work done in colleges.
This department made a good be
ginning in Guilford county recently
in putting on types of work that are
new to the state. This was the
Greensboro training school" for Sun
day school workers, which is being
conducted under the direction and
supervision of some of the state's
ablest business and profesfdnal
Christian men and woman. They
have a course of study for three
years mapped out. The spring term
enrolled more than 200 of the choic
est men and women of Greensboro.
Now community and township
training schools are being conducted
in Guilford county, and the Guilford
County, Sunday School Association
has projected a plan to empol a
man as whole time director, or su
perintendent of religious" education.
The success of a financial campaign
Is sufficient already to insure suc
cess in this undertaking.
The state association Is now being
called on for assistance by .other
counties and cities that wish to dup
licate the work in Guilford.
