Germany's Proclamation of
War Zone Does Not Include
Seas Adiacent to Neutrals
Washington, Feb. 6.—Qer- \
many's proclamation of a wu i
zone in the waters surrounding
Great Britain and Ireland does i
not, as at first reported inclu It I
any seas adjacent to reutri' \
countries. _ l
The official text of the procla
mation reveals that only areas !
directly bordering on the terri- I
torial waters of France and Grea;
Britain are to be in z>nf i
where neutral vessels may b*
subject to the hazirds of nava»
warfare. The original wireless
report stated that the watei*
north of the Shetland islands, ir 1
the eastern basin of the North i
sea and for thirty naut'eal miles
along the Djtcb coast, also had 1
been included in the zme.
The official text says expressly
that the "routes of navigatior
around the north of the Shet ant
i-lands in the eastern pait of th«
North sea and in a strip .thirty
miles wide along the Dutch coas:
are r.ot open to the danger zone."
State department cfiieials sen'
a message inquiring it there wut
not some error in translation o
the ifist phrase "not open to then
danger zone," but they s£ id later - ,
they had no doubt the particular- (
ization cf toe3e waters meant ,
they were the suggested routes
for neutral ships and that ship
ping to Norway, Sweeten, Den- ,
mark and Holland wouli not be
Effected.
The text o? a proclamation as
received at the £tate department ,
reads as follows: j,
"The waters around Great
Britain, including the whb of
the E igiish channel are de;ured
hereby to be included within the ,
zme of war and that after Feb- (
ruary lb. alt enemy rmrehant |
vessels encountered in these J
waters will be destroyed, even ii
it may not be possible alw3yj to
save their crews and passengers. {
"Within this war zone nftutfig
' aw .tsposed to'.d«33»: r
efnee in view of the misuse of (
the neutral flags ordered by the J
government of Great Brita n on ,
January 31, and of the hazards ,
of naval warfare, neutral vessels :
cannot always be prevented from (
suffering from the attacks in
tended for enemy ships.
"The routes of navigation '
around the north of the Shetland
islands in the eastern part of the
North sea and in a strip thirty j
miles wide along the Dutch coast
are nnt open to the danger zone." ,
Acting Secretary Lansing in a
statement containing the procla- ,
mation, said:
''The German foreign office
sent to the ambassador a long
memorandum explanatory of this
proclamation."
Officials are awaiting with ,
much interest the explanatory
memorandum referred to, for if
it outlines msasures which Ger
man naval commanders will take
to verify tne real character of
vessels flying neutral flags and
assures the American govern
ment that every effort possible
will be made to save passengers
and crews of vessels carrying
contraband, it is believed there
will remain little ground for pre
test against Germany's action in
advance of any specific violation.
The German embassy today is
sued a statement declaring
American ship; lalen W;th food
stuffs for the civilian populati n
of Germany's enemies vyould nut
be molested, and expressing hope
that Great Britain would not, by
seizing the American steamer
Wilhelmina. carrying food sup
plies to Germany, make neces
sary the adoption of a diflL'rcn'
policy.
As the German proclamation
does not prescribe a blockade,
there is no warrant for the sink
ing of any neutral merchant ship,

without first determining t*u

Almanae, 87 years ago this, the

j trick upon a sentimental, but un

to equip the month of

may argue in defense that it is |
only about three times he has;
permitted this to occur in the!
past century, but all the same, j
he has not given the people a
square deal. The Legislature is
! even now making arrangements i
to prevent any of its citizens
from getting full, and it is hard
ly an opportune time to deprive i
the moon of that privilege, a'-'
though it be but for a limited,
period. We call upon the oid al
manac maker to give an account
of himself. This is carrying pro
hibition entirely too high.—Char

African Slavery. k
The Dutch sold slaves t} the
Virginians at Jamestown in 1620. 1
The citizens of Massachusetts in
1636 built a slave ship at Marble
head and sent it to Africa for
slaves. Bancroft says that the
representative.* of the people
ordered the negroes to be re
stored to their native land. A
fine of twice the price of a negro
was imoosed upon any one who
should hold any black people in
perpetual service. Ha saysth s
law was hot enforced. There
WBS disposition in the people or i
the colony to buy nfg/*033 and
hold them-as slayes forever.
Alexander Stephens lived in 1
0^o»-g : a. He wrote a hi3torv of
U. S. In this history he states
that many of the mo it prominent
men cf the Co'onv of Massachu
setts purchased slave? out of the
first cargo brought from Africa
in 1633. They were broucht to
this country in the Mirblehea I
slave ship wh'ch was called "De
sire."
The history of Catawba County
would not I e complete without
giving some information about
fhvery as it existed in the coun
ty. S,>me of the early settlers
of what is now Catawba County
were slave holders They did
not introduce slavery in this 1
country. That had b?en accom- :
plished a hundred years and
more before their time. Henry
Wnitener the pioneer sett'er of
the South Fork country of Ca
tawba Conuty was the owner of !
slaves. In his will he bequeath
ed some negroes to his children. 1
The question may sometimes
have been raised in the minds of ,
the early settlers of Catawba |
County who owned slaves wheth
er it was right to hold men and '
women in perpetual slavery. The 1
early settlers brought the Bible
with them to thi3 country. They
read their Bibles. The Bible ,
says Abraham bought s'aves and
had slaves born in his house. 1
Moses by divine direction pro
vided for the release and redemp 1
tion of He'orew slaves. He left 1
no provision for the release of 1
the slave of foreign birth but a!- 1
lowed him to be bo ight and sold !
at the will of thei^maacera. -Slav
ery was recognized by Christ '
and his apostles. '•
When they read their Bibles !
their doubts as to the rightful
ness in the sight of God vanisned. ,
They didnot feel themselves re
sponsible for ttye introduction of
slavery among them. That had
been accomplished before their
day. The people of Massachu- 1
setts stole negroes in Africa and
brought then to this country be-, 1
fore Catawba County was settled j
by white people. The ypnkee | 1
people of Massachusetts stole 1
negroes in Africa and sold them '
t) southern people. The people '
of the south made a mistake
when they bought their merchan
dise. Probably it was wrong for
our fathers to buy stolen prop
erty. J. H. SHUFORD.

return to America,
CHAPTER IV.
There was an International Ex
position held at Ghent, an hour
and a half's ride from Brussels.
We spent a day there and enjoy
ed all of the exhibits. . One thing
that almost made ua h >mesick
was a huge display of beautiful
Canadian apples. After these
displays are closed these apples
are sold at alimst fabulous prices.
Another interesting display was
tne English section of Tropical
diseases, as well the section de
voted to the Cong\
We saw a pe. ul ar sight one
day when we heard a band play
ing in the street and looked nui
to see a funeral procoeion going
by. The band was leading, on
foot, followed by the undertaker,
the nearse, the pail bearers, and
a crowd of men all walking in
the center of the street, then fin
ally eight or ten carriages con
taining relatives of the deceased.
It was a rather elaborate fuheral
but it was only what is known as
a "third-class" funeral—the first
and second class funerals being
much more elaborate*
Bishop W. h. Lambuth of the
Methodi-t Church accompanied
by Mangnpi as secretary and Dr.
W. M. Morrison uf the Presby
terian Church joined the party in
Brussels the first days of Novem
ber. It was ti.e intention of all
to proceed to Congo together but
unfortunately it waslound to be
necessary for several of us to
remain behind until next boat
three Mission
steamer, Lap3ley". could only
act*-- about eight passen
gers for the up-river trip, so
Clevelands,'and my wife and I
destined to wait another three
weeks in Belgium while our
Mothodist friend* and Dr. Mor
rison went ahead,
We enjoyed the fellowship of
these dear friends and it was
with genuine regret that we said
good-bye to them at Antwerp
j Novemoer Bth shortly before
| their boat left the pier. We hoped
to see ail of thtm again at Luebo
on our arrival there, but in this
we were disappointed for they
had left Luebo several weeks be
fore we reached there in order
to establish their new mission at
Wembo Niama, several hundred
miles distant.
But the remaining three weeks
l efcre we too were to leave Bel
gium for the Congo passed quick
ly ar d Friday morning Nov. '2Bth
saw U3 leaving Mr. and Mrs.
Cleveland at the boarding house
in Brussels where they had to
remain for another two months
because of Mrs, Cleveland's ill
health. Thus it developed that
only we two out of the original
party of ten were left to finish
our trip together. We were in
Antwerp thirty minutes after
leaving Brussels—the distance
between the two cities is about
twenty-3even miles. Our boat
was in sight of the hctel where
we stayed. It was due to sail at
eleven o'clock next day, Satur
day, so during the afternoon of
Friday I busied myself with ar
ranging about our baggage and
' seeing that it all got aboard for
we were not particularly anxious
' to have the trunks containing all
1 our clothing left behind.
We boarded the "Albertville"
at about nine o'clock. It was a
[ new boat of the Belgian Mail
Line, of about 6,500 tons. It was
1 very nicely arranged for the car
" rying of passengers, having nice
5 large cabins, roomy decks, spec
* ial provisions for hot climates,
• wireless equipment, etc, It had
s four decks above water. Our
3 cabin was on the lower deck near
3 the Dining Saloon.
s At eleven o'clock everything
was in readiness for departure.
Friends and relatives had told
their loved ones farewell and had
gone ashore. The ropes binding
us to land were loosed and at
o eleven-thirty we were out in the
e river under way. A lr.rge crowd
-'was on the landing waving us
d God-3peed. among them was our
elfrench teacher who had come
i- ' down to see us "(?, ar:d who
everv fpw tcconds waved his
is handkerchief to us as long as we
could see him. What a great
change has the destroying hand
pf war wrou t ht u. on this busy
1 ttle nati >n &ince that 29th o'
November when we sailed frorr
Antwerp'/
lAte in theaftern?on we drop
ped our pilot at the mouth of th*
Scheldt and put out to the open
sea—the North S j a and the Eng
lish Channe', the very placer
where at *the present momen 1
battleships are in search of theii
enemies bent on destroying each
other.
The next day and the day fol
lowing we were both sick enough
t) feel more comfortable in a re
clining position than sitting or
9tonding. so we remained in bed.
But Monday afternooon found us
at the French port of Li Palltee,
or La R'cheile, where we had
called to take on more passen
gers. Our boat anchored in the
bay while a smalt tetfder brought
out the passengers and their bag
gage—perhaps more than a hun
u"ed people getting on here.
The swelling motion of the wa
ter made it rather difficult but
amusing to watch the pass 3rgers
come trom the smalt boat acro39
the bouncing gangway onto our
boat. The baggage was 1 >sded
oy means of nosting gear mount
ed on the deck of our boat, It
vas after dark Defore this load
ing of baggage was finished, but
the work was made easy by
means of huge electric lights sus
pended above the workmen.
soon as all was aboard we turned
about and continued our way
soutxard with the knowledge
that the next time we stopped,
which would be in seven days, 1
we would be in Africa I We were
in the Bay of Biscay more than
a day after leaving La Palace ,
and has bad weather and a mod- ,
erate sea for several days after
leaving, conseqiently we were :
again feeling short of the mark.
We had sighed many times for 1
the day to come when we would
have finished this traveling.
I shall give a few extracts
from my diary covering the per
iod after leaving BVance,

and Portugal. We are to pass 1 ;

December 3.—This morning at !
6;30 we arose and looking out of
oir port hole we saw the first :
signs of sunrise. Had our batns j j
and hurriedly dressed in order to j'
see the sun bid us 'Vood morn-1'
ing." I wish I had the words to
picture this tunwise. Even if ! 1
cannot write it the picture will
always be in my memory. The
reflected light of the sun shining
through spaces between the
clouds turned the horiz.m to all
shades from a rosy and golden
red near the se'a to a pale yellow
and then a light grey farther up
into the sky. We watched for
for about thirty minutes during
which time we saw pictures of
such beauty as we had never
before dreamed of. They were
pictures indeed—real pictures,
painted by the hand of the per
fect Master. It was marvellous!
Finally the sun appeared in a
mere golden speck upon the wa
ter and then, seeming to rise di
rectly out of the water it gradu
ally rose until all of it could be
seen above the water, When it
had done this we could look at it
no longer because of its intense
brilliance." Never have I seen
such a glorious spectacle of na
ture. I wonder if it will be that
way throughout the voyage. I
hope so! So we are having the
sun today. It is much warmer
than it was yesterday. Shortly
after lunch today we had the
life-saving drill. The whistle was
blown and a gong rung to sum
mon the crew and passengers to
ihe top ce?k where the life-boats
are located. Here the movements
of doing all that is necessary to
launch the life-boats were made.
It was all done very systemati
cally and caused me to have con
fidence in the ability of the crew
in case of an accident. In such
a case all the passengers would
get into the life-boats on the u t >
per deck from where the boats
would be lowered.
j December 4 —This morning
! there was another glorious sun
rise and the sea is still rr.ore
.calm. We played deck croquet
during the forenoon. At five

Cat Chaperones Chides. *
Jefferson City, Mo., Feb. 6. — j
A cat that cares for a brood of 1
chickens is the property of Mrs.
John P. Gordon, wife of the t
State Auditor. j
The cat attracted the attention j
of neighbors some time ago by
its peculiar conduct. At first it
was thought it was following the j
chickens around to kill one for
a meal. This idear was soon dia- (
sipated when day after day the
performance was repeated.
Then it was observed that the
cat attached itself to a brood of
late "fryers." now about half
grown. It watches over this
bunch of chickens with apparent
motherly solicitude, follows them
about all day and never leaves
them until they go to roost for
the night. Then the cat returns
to the Gordon residence and con
ducts herself, so far as known,
during the night just as any oth
er respectable feline.
This story is vouched for by all
the Gordon neighbors.
