TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION ,)ne Year fOO six Months tc I'hree months 25 Tuesday, July 13. 1915 WITIIOLMNG THE PROMISE, YET COM PLYING IN PRACTISE WITH THE PRESIDENT'S DFMANDS.! The long-delayed German an swer to President Wilson's last note is primarily worded to meet public sentime it and keep down divisions in Germany. Its pro fessions of friendship for the United States and its superficial display of making concessions to this country in the intersst of peace, is expected to satisfy the civilian population which has been insistent for an answer that would meet President Wilson's demands and assure the continua tion of peaceful relations between the two countries. The limiting of the concessions to privileges that have never been questioned or asked for by one country from another and conditioning them on the performance of acts on our part that would virtually make us an ally of Germany and a traitor to other neutral coun tries, as well as to the American people, is intended to satisfy the, naval and military boards which i are responsible for the inhuman submarine programme. We do not believe that the Ger man foreign office has any ex pectation that such an answer will satisfy or deceive President Wilson or the American public. It would be presuming too much on our ignorance and cowardice to expect our government to acquiesce in the plan outlined in this last note. But, on the other hand, we do nottaKetne note to mean tnatj Germany is imposing on the Uni Germany .intends to disregard the; te(j states a 'regulation of her uemanus oi me united states and to return to the uncivilized style of warfare that had its climax in the sinking of the Lusitania and the murder of more than a thousand persons. Since President Wilson's last note was sent, no submarine has fired a torpedo into a boat of any character or nationality without iirst calling on it to surrender and giving all on board a chance to save themselves before the boat's sinking. The exchange of notes has con clusively demonstrated that the two governments cannot official ly and publicly agree on the dis puted questions while the war continues, and further negotia tions are useless. It therefore seems to us that the only rejoin der the United States can make to Germany's last note, is to re ject it entirely and repeat the demand that reparation be made for the American lives lost on the Lusitania and that any similar occurrence will bring the United ,1 1 it - TT .1 CI A.- A. - States into the war. This would put the responsi bility of peace or war entirely on Germany, and leave the matter of satisfaction for the Lusitania outrage to arbitration after, the war is over. The fact that Germany is al ready complying with President Wilson's demands in the sub marine attacks, although public promise to do so is evaded or refused, at least furnishes ground to believe that our rights will be respected and that Germany will not deliberately add the United States to her number of armed opponents. The people of the United States have with wonderful unanimty approved of every utterance and every position taken by the President, and they will continue to do so. They are with him in his desire to keep the country strictly neutral between the two armed European alignments They are also with him in his firm determination to maintain the rights and uphold thef honor of our country. Peace or war rests entirely with Germany. xtuumt if chall hp Ampripnne' lllLHCi. x.i - to a man will support the Presi dent. The Atkinses of The Gastonia riooft fipera to have let out a notch lately.

Briefly, the last German note promises protection from German submarines of passengers and crews on American boats, neu tral boats and at least four boats belonging to billigerent nations carrying the American flag, pro vided that the UnitedStates gov ernment certify that such boats have no contraband of war on board and that notice to the German government has been given of the date of sailing. As to the sinking of the Lusitania an entirely new position is taken In the hrst note the claim was set up that the German govern ment had undoubted proof that the Lusitania was an armed boat and was being used to transport Canadian recruits for the British armv. President Wilson told Germany she was entirely mis taken about, this but he would consider any proof in possession of Germany to support that claim. In the second note Germany abandons the claim that the Lusitania was armed and sets up an excuse that the boat sank sooner than had been expected on account of the explosives on board, and that the commander of the submarine could not give notice before attacking, without running too much risk to his own safety. The now position on the Lusi tania incident is the most serious feature of the new note, as it is a direct denial of the American view that warning must be given before attack. Guaranteeing the safety of Americans travelling on Ameri can or other neutral vessels is promising to do what all belige rents are required to do under in ternational law, and falls short of the demand that Americans must be safe in their travel on any boats, a right they also have under international law. The stipulation that all such ships shall be plainly marked and no tice of their sailing be furnished own business that is unreasonable and would come very near con stituting an unneutral act, as it would set apart all other ships as marks for the submarines marked by the United States, for the assistance of one belligerent and to the detriment of another. PROGRESS OF THE WAR. The military critics in London are now of the opinion that the tide of war which has been running so strongly in favor of Germany for several weeks, has at last turned and good news for the allies is coming from every theatre of war. The German army in Southwest Africa has unconditionally surrendered to General Bothaa and a strip of territory 900 miles long and 322,- 450 snuare miles has bepn added to the British possessions. The j advance of the Tuetonic army in Poland has been effectively checked, and the Russian army, receiving large supplies of ammu- fnition from England, is taking the offensive. During the latter part of last wreek the French advanced 700 yards on a line 600 yards long in the Vosges district and the Brit ish gained 200 yards at Ypres. Lord Kitchener spent several days last week with the British army, and on. his return to Lon don was given a great reception at Guild Hall, where, in a speech, he complimented the country on the satisfactory progress being made in the supply of war ma terial and in voluntary eniist ments in the army. This week begins with the claim from Paris that after a campaign of 120 days the French army has possession of all the hills overlooking Flanders and isj confident of continuing their vic torious campaign against the Germans. On account of the new life that has been put into the Rus sian army, the Germans will not withdraw any forces from the East for the present to undertake an offensive movement in the West. It uncertain whether the Russians will undertake to I, , . . hold their present positions or to fall back on the Bug river and abandon Warsaw.

Adams fully sus tained his reputation for being on time and getting down to busi ness yesterday morning when the hour arrived for opening the July term of superior court. A brief talk to the grand jury cov ering only the big facts about its duties, and the machinery of court began business. Mr. G. H. Geitner of Hickory was made foreman of the grandjury and Herbert Setzer officer in charge. Cases were disposed of before noon as follows: State vs. M. H. Lee, failure to pay board, nol pros, with leave; Connor Burch, burning, nol pros, with leave; George Huffman and Lobe Reese, continued under former order; Jennie Holder, concealing birth, nol. pros, with leave; John C. Itcwe, seductior, alia capias; R. M. Stevenson, ob structing highway, continued; Reuben Fry, retailing, alias ca pias; J. B. Carper, carrying con cealed weapons, not guilty ;James Jones retailing, guilty; Henry Miller, retailing, guilty. Yesterday afternoon the case of the burglary of theHuitt store at Claremont was taken up, and lasted all afternoon. Meanwhile the grandjury finished up its work and adjourned for probably the first time, after a single dav's work. The jury inspected the jail and sent a committee to to the county home. After visi ting the jail, the jury descended to the ground and hung around for a few moments awaiting the appearance of Foreman Harvey Geitner, and as he did not ap pear they began looking about for him and after awhile discov ered that they had locked him up on the second floor with the prisoners. The juke convulsed the court folks when the word was put out. Pierce School Huge Affair. Prof. W. R. Weaver, who is spending the summer here with his family at the home of Mrs. Weaver's parents. Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Rowe, andwho is a member of the faculty of the Pierce School of Business in Philadel phia, tells The Enterprise that the famous institution celebrated its 50th anniversary by purchas ing the Delancy School building, high class private institution in Philadelphia. For years the Pierce School has occupied three floors in The Record building. Its new home is a seven-storj- affair, complete in every detail for con ducting such an institution. The student body normally numbers! about 2,000 in the night and day shifts, and about 2,200 ,are now attending the summer session. Professor Weaver went from Catawba College to Philadelphia three years a- next fa,!- and of course promotion came to him during this time. It was a matter of sincere regret to many when Catawba lost him, and we'd like to have him back most any time he could be had. Recently Pro fessor Weaver sang in a choir of 5,000 people, members of the Philadelphia County Sunday School Association, a body that sang when President Wilson made an appeal to foreign-born naturalized citizens. Professor Weaver says that for inspriation few events have ever surpassed this opp: nnri those who read cf it will easily find agreement. CALOMEL SALIVATES AND MAKES YOU SICK Acts Like Dynamite on a Sluggish Liver and You Lose a Day's Work There's no reason why a per son should take sickening, sali vating, calomel when 50 cents buys a large bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone-a perfect substitute for calomel. It is a pleasant, vegetable liquid which will start your liver just as surely as calomel, but it dosen't make you sick and cannot sali vate. Calomel is a dangerous drug. It is mercury and attacks your bones. Take a dose of nasty cal omel today and you will feel weak., sick and nauseated tomor row. Don't lose a day's work Take a spoonful of Dodson's Liver Tone instead and you will wake up feeling great. No more biliousness, constipation sluggishness, headache, coated tongue or sour stomach. Your druggist says if you don't find Dodson's Liver Tone acts better than horrible calomel your mon ey is waiting for you. Mnrray-Lohr. A delightful surprise was given friends here Friday evening when Mr. Grover Murray, of Clapp's drug store, and Miss Lucy Lohr, of Lincoln county, were married at the Reformed church parson age by Rev. W. W. Rowe. The event came without warning and aroused much interest. ' Miss Lohr had been visiting Miss Willie Self and had intended go ing home on the afternoon train. She really had gotten as far as the station when Mr. Murray induced her to change her mind and they returned to the Pied mont hotel where Miss Lohr made hasty preparations for the ceremony which took place about 7 o'clock. Consent was obtained by phone from the bride's father. Everybody .wishes the young couple all that is good. Mr. Murray is a son of Mr. Baxter Murray of Maiden and Miss Lohr is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James A. Lohr of Lincoln coun ty, and a granddaughter of the late Rev. R. Z. Johnson, a noted Presbyterian minister. The coup le will be at home at the resi dence of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Mc Corkle, who will shortly move to Washington, D. C. to live. Traveling Man's Experience. "In the summer of 18SS I had a very severe attack of cholera morbus. Two physicians worked over me Itom four a. m. t6p. m. without giving me any relief and then told ma they did not expect me to live; thit I had best tele graph for my family. Instead of doin-? so, I gave the hotel porter fifty cents and told him to buy me a bottle of Ch tmberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy, and take no subeti'ute I took a double dose according to the directions and went to sleep after tha second dose. At five o'clock the next morning I was called by my order' and tojk a train for my next stopping point, a well man but feeling rather shiky from the severity of the attack," wiites II. W. Ireland, Louisville, Ky. Oi tainable everywhere. mOUNCDIENT. The Farmers' Mutual Fire Ins. Association, Catawba and Burke, Branch, will meet in Hickory, N.

Paint-Wise is to paint when your property needs it. Paint-foolish to wait for the price to go-dowrn. But so many are foolish, they'll wait a good while. The whole rise in the cost of a job is 10 percent. The first year's drop won't be more than half that, more likely a quarter. Waiting for 5 percent, more likely 2J. The average job (with Devoe) is $50; 5 per cent 2.50. Put it off for $2.50? Guess not. You think of that job as $100. So it is with inferior paint. Paint Devoe; do it now, if your property needs it.
