Berlin, Aug. 13 The semi-official Nord Deutsche Allegemeine Zeitung denies the existence of the te'egram alleged by James W. Gerard, former American ambassador to Berlin, to have been sent by Emperor William in August, 1914, when the German emperor asserted that Germany violat ed Belgium's neutrality in self-dt fense. The alleged telegram which has reached Berlin by way of Switzerland has the emperor saying that word was sent through the emperor broth er, Trince Henry, that Great Britain would remain neutral in the conti nental war between Germany and Austria-Hungary and France and Russia. "We are in a position to declare that there was no such telogTam irom me emperor as tnis. it is true that Mr. Gerard was given an audience in August, 1914, in order to give him an opportunity to pre sent Tresident Wilson's offer for mediation."

Washington, Aug. 13. Commissions granted students at the Fort Mc pherson, Ga., officers training school include: Captain infantry, officers reserve corps, John K. Taylor, Yadkinville, N. C. PREDICTS VICTORY BY AUTUMN OF 1918 'Asheville, Aug. 13."By the time , fha in, fn in th nnfiimn 1918 and the boys come marching home crowned with victory and suc cess, the whole nation will rise to a higher position in the esteem of the whole world than it has ever held be fore and the world will know that Old Glory has saved the civilization of the world." This striking statement was made here last night by Gov. Thomas W. Bickett, speaking to an audience that jammed the large auditorium here, while hundreds of others unable to otbain entrance to the building were turned away disappointed. Governor Bickett was introduced by James J. Britt. former congressman from this district. 'The meeting was held under the auspices of the First Baptist church. Dr. W. F. Powell, pastor of the church, arranging for the, presence of Governor Bickett and transferring the services from the church to the auditorium, in order to accommodate the crowd. Former-Governor Locke Craig and other distinguished citi zens occupied the stage with the speaker of the evening. "We can't tsay out. of the fight one minute longer and preserve even the semblance of self respect," the governor declared. "They are coming from Green land's icy mountains and from In dia's sunny shores to battle with the Goliath of autocracy and America must do her share for the democracy of the world," All the local guard units attended the services in a body and Doctor Powell, on behalf of the Baptist Ba raca class, presented each soldier with a testament. A splendid mu sical program preceeded the speak ing. Governor Bickett was in splendid form. rnd his ."ddress is bolKvH to ! be oiip of the best ever delivered by the goverenor. . NW HYDRO ELETRIC W UNDER WAY PRICE TWO CENTS Be Warm Affair Proved With "Uncle' Lem Shuford open ing the meeting and Oscar Bridges acting as chairman, the opponents of the draft act met at Pleasant Groe school house on Saturday night and heard a "few remarks" from citizens who discussed the constitu tionality of the law and gave it as their opinion a la Tom Waston that the thing was not according to Am erican tradition, despite the facts as written on the pages of history. Owing to the fact that the crowd was much larger than the promoters had anticipated, that there were many in the school house whose views were known not to coincide with those of T. Watson and "Uncle" Lem, and the further fact that it was norated aroundthattwo deputy sheriffs, one sheriff and one or more secret ser vice" men were in the congregation, there was not as much ginger dis played as was expected. " Uncle" Lem was expected to scatter the co,. diments over the crowd and there was to have been a hurrah. It is reported that the telephone is largely responsible for the tameness of the gathering. The anti-drafters had only to lift their receiver, in cline their ears to it and learn what a whole lot of other men in Jacobs Fork township were thinking. Senti ment in the community was not all one way, as the "constitutionalists," free press and free speech advocates discovered.and this fact put a crimp into their enthusiasm. Men who live io that community say that the great bulk of those in the -school house or who sought entrance were loyal U. S. A. people, who were ready for any rough stuff that might be at tempted. iBe that as it may, "Uncle" Lem started the proceedings and Oscar Bridges was elevated to the chairman ship. Short addresses were made by those two and Dan Abernethy, R. L. Shuford and Walter Blackburn. Curtis Helton and Lem Shuford re ported on the amount of funds they hay raised for Tom Watson to test the constitutionality of the draft act and a resolution was passed urging congress to repeal the law, to stand for a free press and free speech. It is said that no meeting was ever quieter than this. Those who ex pected hurrahs were disappointed; there was not even the semblance of a fist fight anywhere near the grounds. Record spies report that some of the men who were expected to de monstrate in favor of free speech, etc., were some of the same men who more than a year ago were declaring that the United States ought to eat Germany alive, and were blaming Woodrow for not wading right in and cleaning up the whole shebang. The Record's secret service department might be at fault, but that's the re port. IPersons who were there Saturday night say there were rumors that fed eral secret service men were not far from the meeting and that the gov ernment has a considerable number of names on which it will work. That is rumor, but the next few days will show what there is in it. STATEMENT BY FRED R. YODER Editor of the Record: (Your account of the meeting held at Pleasant Grove school house was so grossly misleading that a disinter- ested listener who happened to be preseni cannot auow ic w pas wunouL offering a correction. Your account of the meeting gives the impression that the meeting was for the purpose of resisting the draft act and to cause trouble. This meeting was not at all true. The meeting was orderly and attended by a large number of the best citizens of the community. It was a meeting of law abiding citizens assembled only to petition their rep resentatives in congress to repeal the draft act, which in-their opinion does not represent the will of the majority of the people in the country.
