BRYAN TALK8 PEACE WITH COMMITTEE.
Says a Washington telegram:
At the conclusion of a two-hours
conference today with the entire mem
bership 01 the senate uommiuee on
foreign relations, Secretary Bryan
stated that the committee bad given
general approval to his outline of a
plan designated to bring about inter
national peace. Secretary Bryan Baid
the details of the plan would not be
given out until he bad talked them
over with President Wilson.
The basic fdea of a proposed sys
tem of treaties, as Secretary Bryan
outlined it to the committee today, is
that all international disputes be first
submitted to a commission of inquiry
and that the report of -the commission
be made public before the countries
would be at liberty to proceed to war.
The Secretary will lay the plan be
fore President Wilson as soon as pos
sible and perfect its details. The re
sult of today's conference, it was said,
assured a faovrable reception to any
international treaties that may be ne
gotiated by the President and Secre
tary, looking toward the limitation of
armaments and the investigation of
all disputes by international commis
sions of inquiry.
Secretary Bryan, acting directly at
the instance of President Wilson, also
endorsed the plan before the commit
tee for the purchase of embat-sy
buildings abroad for American dip
lomats and to rent accommodations
until permanent homes could be ac
quired. Senator Chamberlain's resolution
for the abrogation of the isthmian ca
nal treaty with Great Britain was re
ferred to a sub-committee. Senator
Mark Smith's resolutions asking the
President for a report on injuries to
Americans and American property in
Mexico was reported favorably.
NEWS AND OBSERVER BURNED.
Flames of Unknown Origin Sweep
Through Newspaper Plant a Ral
eigh Lots About Half Covered by
Insurance.
Wilmington Star.
Raleigh, N. C, April 24. Fire com
pletely gutted the handsome four
story building of the Raleigh News
and Observer this evening, building
and contents valued at about $100,
000 being almost a total loss with
something like 50 per cent, insurance
protection.
Hon. Josephus Daniels,, Secretary
of the United States Navy, is the prin
cipal owner of the plant. The News
and Observer moved into this well
equipped home in 1907. The loss and
equipment includes a fine four-deck
Hoe press with color equipment, five
typesetting machines, complete stereo
typing plant About all that was sav
ed from the flames was the principal
part of the mailing list and the books
of the business office which were
chucked into the safes before the
business office force had to almost run
for their lives to get out of the place.
The big press which has been in ser
vice scarcely a year, may not be ruin
ed as the flames may not have gotten
into the press room with enough force
to warp or ruin it otherwise.
The origin of the fire is a mystery.
The alarm was given about 6 o'clock.
The flames were then bursting
through the rear third floor windows
and the opening of doors leading in
to the second story rtront turned the
flames in that direction and came near
catching the business force, Business
Manager Henry Bagley and a number
of young ladies and other employes
at their desks. It is thought the fire
started in the paper room in the base
ment ana worsea its way up uie rear
elevator shaft to the upper floors.
It was just before the night force
of the plant came on duty, this ac
counting for all the rear section of the
building being deserted, except for
the janitor, who was cleaning up af
ter carpenters who had earlier in the
day laid flooring on a section of the
third floor that needed repairs. He
says the flames burst through the ele
vator shaft, all in a few seconds, from
the basement, and that during the
time it took him to run to the busin
ess office and give the alarm and then
-climb the stairs back to the third
floor again, smoke and flames had so
increased that he was barely able to
make his way through the smoke
back down to. the street floor.
The fire department was handicap
ped in fighting the flames. Soon after
the high "fire pressure" was turned
on at the water plant, the big water
main running into the city and sup
plying the tower burst and the depart
ment was . thereafter dependent on
the water stored in the tower to com
- bat the flames. Extending alongside
the News and Observer building is
the E. M. Uzzell printing house, State
printers, five stories, and for one while
great volumes of flames played upon
the side wall of this, being kept from
the Inside only by the massive metal
shutters to the windows. Scarcely
had-the flames been put out before
Business Manager Bagley-had a tem
porary ousiness omce open two doors
further down the street in the Ral
eigh apartment building, and the Even
ing Times plant and several of the
other printing houses were being util
ized In getting out the issue of the
News and Observer for Friday morn
lng, which will, tell its own story of
the fire and carry full, newsservice.

"THE 80UTH: THE NATION'S
GREATEST ASSET."
(Concluded From Page 4)
impressed with three things:
"First, the natural advantages of
the South must be greater than those
of any other section of the world, or
else such results would never have
been possible, considering the pover
ty which prevailed throughout the
South after 1865; and,
"Second, Southern people,-and by
this I, of course, mean the white folks,
for they have done all of the planning
and managerial work and a large part
even of the manual labor, must be as
brilliant in business operations as they
always have been in war, and they
must have energy and stick-to-lt-tive-ness
such as thy displayed in every
emergency and on every battlefield
during the war.
"Third, that despite the bad teach
ing by politicians and misguided phil
anthropists of the negroes, which
ruined many and came near utterly
destroying, morally, physically and fi
nancially, the whole race, hundreds
of thousands of them have become
good citizens and property owners
and are earnestly striving to redeem
their race from the ruin of false
teaching. And these facts all prove
that they have been well treated and
protected by the white people of the
South. No such marvelous progress
could ever have been made in a law
less country or one In which a large
part of its laboring population was
mistreated.
"The Southern folks in war days
found more ways to get over their lack
of money and equipment, more ways to
overcome seemingly impossibe difficul
ties, more ways of acquiring the high
est order of engineering skill, of boI
dierly ability; more ways to live with
out eating and to fight without weap
ons, than any other people I ever
knew. The men who came out of
the war with enough strength to en
able them to run the plough, to build
a railroad or open a mine, to teach
school or to solve engineering prob
lems, and their children and grand
children, have for the last 30 years
been turning into material develop
ment; into the building of cities, the
improvement of agriculture, the con
struction of railroads, the broadening
of educational and religious work, the
same wonderiul ability which they dis
played on the battlefield or in devising
ways to meet the needs of a starving
army that must live without food and
yet keep on fighting.
"When I remember that the South
has $700,000,000 more money invest
ed in manufacturing than the United
States had in 188U; that the individ
ual deposits in its national banks ex
ceed by nearly $200,000,000 the indi
vidual deposits in all the national
banks of the United States in 1880,
and that individual deposits in all
nnanciai institutions in the South now
exceed by $130,000,000 similar deposits
for the entire country in 1880, I be
come a little dazed; and yet, I find
some tigures even moie astonishing
than these. I know the South is only
beginning to develop its agricultural
interests; I know that the better meth
ods in cultivation which are now be
ing so vigorously pushed and
the vast increase in its fruit
and trucking interests, will en
able this section to double its ag
ricultural output, even without in
creasing by a sing.e acre the land un
der cultivation, and I cannot nelp but
wonder what is to be its luture, when
even now its agricultural products, in
cluding animal products, exceed by
more than $840,000,000 the total val
ue of all farm crops, not including an
imal products, raised in the United
States as late as 1890, when our
country had a population ot 63,000,

bought great tracts of land, wnich
they are tanning under scientific man
agement and producing results com
mensurate with what the best pla. t
ers of the old South achieved, thus
the South, though it is only getting
us agricultural interests in tairiy good
worarng shape for better and oroad'
er operations in the future, is already
turning out $3,300,000,000 in products
a year, against $2,460,000,000, the val
ue of all . tne farm crops, .not includ
ing animal products, In the Untied
btates in 1890. That's going some!
Let the South keep on In its present
progress of improved agricultural
work and it can raise. $6,000,000,000
worth of stuff on, the land now under
cultivation. But the South has as
much land available for farming which
has never yet been touched by
plough as it has under cultivation,
lhat tells the story of what It can
do. 1 1 " i
Do you know that the value of farm
lands, including . buildings, In . the
South' Increased between 1900 and
1910 from $4,0,88,000,000 to $8,971,000,
000, or a gain of nearly $5,000,000,000
in one decade? This is nearly five
times as great as the total national
banking capital ot the, United. States.
Five billion dollars is so big a sum
that not many people can 'take In
its meaning; but when I tell you the
national banking capital of the entire
country Is Just a little over $1,000,
000,000, you can get an Idea of what
this actual increase in the value of
Southern farms within ten years slg-
nl"That country of yours seems to be
making good your preditclons with a
vn seance In 1912 it mined 132,000,
OOO tons of coal, which is 62.000.000
tons more than the whole country min
ed both of bituminous and anthra
cite in 1880. From its oil wells there
we pumped last year 35,000,000 ba
rels of petroleum. Even as we as
1890. the best our whole country
could do was 63.000.000 barrels. And
as to natural gas, the South has the
greatest supply known to the world.
"You are actually spending $1000,
000 more a year on the support ot
public education than .the United
States thus expended In 1880, though
in that year our people put out over
$78,000,000 for public schools.
The Best Kind of Immigration Direct
From Heaven.
"It Is true that your population has
not been growing quite as rapidly as
that of the country at large, and for
this there are a number-of very good
reasons. Moreover, you sent away to
other sections 2,500,000 people looking
for work, because alter 1SG5 they
could find none at home. You have
been getting almost none of the im
migration that has been pouring into
this country , at the rate of nearly 1,
000,000 a year for some years. And
maybe, considering the character of
very much of the immigration that is
coming to us now, you are to be con
gratulated, especially as your Increase
of native population is very much
larger than the native Increase In
the rest of the country. That Is to
your credit very much more than it
you had simply Increased your popu
lation as we have done in the North
and West by dumping in millions ot
foreigners, a large proportion of whom
may be counted as undesirable, help
ing to bring about a lessening of the
birth rate among Americans In these
sections, which is only the working
out of what Gen. Francis A. Wker.
superintendent of the census of 1880
a quarter of a century ago laimed to
be an economic law. Big families are
still popular down South, and nobody
needs to preach against race suicide
down there. You are in this way get
ting the best possible population, as
the increasing industrial and agricul
tural enlarges the demand for labor
and causes an advance In wages, as
the opportunities for fruit and truck
rowing become better understood,
you will, of course, see a steady move
ment of people, Americans and foreign
born South ward, i ne womiug
of economic laws will bring this about,
and already there is seen a great
Southward trend of population. Tne
people who are now commg are um.
the advance guards of a mighty army.
When you look at the rate of increase
in population and compare this with
the rate of Increase in business In
terests, you get a pretty good idea
of how things have been humming
down South. Between 18SU anu in
your population increased 79.5 per
cent but your capital invested in man
ufactures increased 960 per cent., your
national bank resources ass par ceut ,
your individual deposits in national
banks 1350 per cent., your common
school expenditures 6o0 per cent., your
farm lands and buildings 305 per cent.,
and the value of your farm products
Sl 2 ner cent. No wonder your farm
ers and your city people are build
ing better homes. No wonder agri
culture is making great advance and
churches and schools are being erect
ed all over the land. In the activity
which I see everywhere in tne oouui
in the building of schools and church
es I find a splendid proof that, though
wealth Is increasing, men are not de
caying." , A .
Uncle Sam's Views ot tne ruiure,
His Reasons Therefor.
All vou have told us. Uncle Sam,
about what the South has been doing
s true," said the Manufacturers Rec
ord; "and yet, it is not so mucn aoout
what the South has done as aDout
what It Is to do In the future that
the world is interested. We are liv
ing in a very commercial age In which
men want to know not so much about
the past or the present as about what
the future Is going to bring forth. The
investor wants to know where to put
his money to the best advantage. The
banker is anxious to know whether
conditions are such as to guarantee
continued growth of the cities in
which he is investing his own or his
clients' money. Railroad owners and
operators are often-times mizzled in
forecasting the country s development,
and therefore do not know what prep
arations to make for it. It is to the
future that the long-headed man must
look, and so while the bankers and
investors g-merally, and railroad op
erators and manufacturers and farm
ers are all interested in what the
South has done during the last 30
years, they want to know what you
tnlnk about tne future.
"Is this growth going to continue?"
"Is it going to continue!" echoed
Uncle Sam with emphasi3. "Well,
am afraid to tell you what I think
about it; you might call me a boom
er, or a wild optimist, or a dreamer.
I Am a littie particular abont my repu
tation for conservatism, but I don't
mind saying that in my opinion this
growth is going to be iar more rapid
than It has been In the last 30 years,
and that the South will make more
porgress in the next 10 years than
it has made in the last quarter of a
century. Just look at It a minute.
"That section has come up out of
desperate poverty.
It had more problems to solve than
any other people on earth ever met
It faced dangers of every kind at
Some and away from home.
"It lost hundreds of thousands of
Its best men in battle and through
emigration; yes, when we count emi
gration, it lost some millions of Its
best people.
"With Its- vitality thus weakened,
It had to meet and overocme dlfflcul
tics which ordinarily would have taxed
the virility of the strongest people in
the world. To look for rapid improve
ment was like expecting a typhoid pa
tient just beginning to get out of the
fever to run a race, or enter a prize
fight. ;, .,,
"But weak as It was, the South ran
the race and out-distanced Its compe
titors. It entered the prize ring and,
though It got a lot of hard blows and
was occasionally knocked up against
the ropes, it was always able to come
back. And it grew stronger every
minute Instead of getting weaker.
"It has demonstrated Its Ability, ev
en under these conditions, to do what
Bo-other-yeople-ve-dld. ' n .
"Now It has accumulated a lot of
motley, a lot of experience and a self-
confidence born of its achievements
and Its knowledge of its resources,
"It does 'not need to ask favors of
anyone. . .. . '
"It does not have to beg for capital
to come- axd develop Its industries.
. "It does not have to hunt elsewhere
for technical skill for agricultural or
industrial affairs.
"I know your people are glad to get
outside capital and outside men to
cci.ie down and take attive part in
the work, for there is room enough
In the South for three or four times
as innny people as you have and for.
all the spare capital of the country
to find the most profitable field in the
world for employment. But there Is
a great difference between having to
beg outside capital, as you did for
so many years, and your present po
sition of being able to Bay;
"We will welcome and protect your
capital; we will offer ltthe best op-.
po-tunltiej known to mankind, but we
don't have to bee )u as we once did;
hundreds of millions are .coming and
ydurs can come too, but it Is up to
you to decide.'
A on know your section could easi
ly support ,100,000,000 peoi le, provide
ample employment for them, furnish
the foodstuffs to nourish the body and
the wool and the cotton to clothe
them, and still not half tax your re
sources.
You could do moie -manufacturing
thun tu. T nited Stales is now doing,
and tit vt'top a foreign commerce far
greater than thai ot v 'lch we are
now boabting so n.uch and even then
you would not have coinicenced to

ities. -
'If you would take a yardstick as
the measure of the coal resources of
the South and then want to. compare
Great Britain's coal with yours, you
would have to scratch a little lour-
inch end of the yardstick to represent
Great Britain's comparative coaj area,
though the wealth and power of that
country has largely come through the
dynamic Influence of its coal. The
whole of Europe, with its 400,000,000
people, would only show about 18 Inch

as compared with yours; for all Eu

win be exhausted within less than 30
years, in the life of a nation, or of
great Industry such as Iron and
steel, 30 years Is a very brief period.
The bare realization of the fact that
that district has only 30 years of life,
has compelled farseeing metallurgists
and long-headed investors to go into
the Southern coking coal field In. a big
way. Railroad and financial interests
are watching the coal regions of the
South and striving to get strategic lo
cations In them with as much energy
as the leader of an army watches to
rush his men into some strategic po-
ltion to order to hold the control of
the vantage points in the region where
great battles are to be fought.
You are beginning to utilize your
water powers and are stretching a net
work of wires from one end of the
and to the other to make available
the millions of horse-power that have
been wasted, as these rivers, since
the dawn of creation, have run their
courses idly to the sea.
