C, TUESDAY, AUGUST IS, 1914. ONE DOLLAR A YEAR. JAPAN COMES INTO THE WAR WILL oust ;f.rmany CHINA. FROM Has Sent an Ultimatum to the i:(T t that Kaiser Musi Cirt Out of Stol en Iitlon or Suffer Consequen cesFighting Along the Whole Uorder Between tJermany and France. i The latest developments in the great war is the entrance of the Jap anese into the conflict against Ger many. While Japan has an alliance with Great Britian. this would not have brought her into the war but tome years ago Germany seized a city and its surrounding territory In Chi na and fortified it for a naval and military base. Japan has seized the present opportunity to drive Germany out of this position and thus render her weak as a force in the far east for the future. She has notified Ger many that she must vacate in thirty days of suffer the consequences. As to the war itself, little news seeps through. All the countries keep back newspaper correspondents and let nothing come through with out being censored. No news at all comes from the German side. There is some fighting and in some instan ces large slaughter is reported. Three Austrian battleships were reported to have been sunk yesterday. News today is that a big battle Is now going on. SATURDAY'S NEWS. Definite information has been re ceived of a strong offensive move ment by the French troops on the Franco-German frontier, extending from Luneville to Sarrebourg. Offi cial announcement is made that Bla mont, Ciry and Avricourt were re-occupied after a Bavarian army corps was driven out. The re-taking by the French of Thann, in Alsace, Is officially announ ced and the wounding of General Von Diluting, commander of the 15th Ger man army corps. The French war ministry prepares the public for the great battle which will extend over a line of more than 250 miles In length and in which sev eral millions of men on either side will be engaged. This battle line will extend from Basel to Maastricht and the people are warned that at some points the Germans may be successful, while, it Is added, at other points the French will have an advantage. It also is announced that no definite details of the battle need be expected for at least eight days. Nothing is known of recent opera tions around the Leige forts. It is reported that Germany has Bent a note to France and Belgium through a neutral power, accusing these two countries of having organ ized a popular war against Germany, and declaring that any Belgian or French private citizen not in uniform who Interferes with the German troops will be shot. The Washington government has announced itself as opposed to the floating of loans in the United States for the benefit of any bellggerent power. The United States govern ment also has notified European pow ers that it will regard as neutral the ships chartered for the sole purpose of bringing back Americans, and has asked the powers for a declaration on the subject. The Austrian warships are at Fola, the great Austrian fortress, and the entire coast has been mined. SUNDAY'S NEWS. While the German forces are push ing forward through the valley of the Meuse and still more extensive operations are in progress along the Alsace-Lorraine frontier where the French and German armies are in contact, Japan has sent an ultimatum to Germany demanding the with drawal of German warships from the Orient and the evacuation of Klau Chau, a German protectorate in Chi na. This territory comprises an area of 200 square miles, with 200 square mile additional in the bay. Tslng Tau, the seat of the Governor of Ter ritory, is the port where the German warships mobilized at the outbreak of hostilities. Japan's ultimatum gives Germany until August 23 to comply with the demands. Owing to cable interrupt ions, however, Japan has not been able to deliver the ultimatum to Ger many, and it is announced from Washington that the United States will undertake this task. Peking reports that three British Regiments have been ordered to hold themselves In readiness to go aboard transports and it Is presumed they will co-operate with the land forces if force of arms is restored to. In Toklo the Japanese ultimatum has created a deep impression and the Japanese Premier and Foreign Min ister have counseled the Japanese to maintain a calm attitude. Late dispatches report an offensive movement by the French fcrom Lu venville to Sarroburg but this Is con sidered as merely an outpost affair. A state of selge has been proclaim ed In Bulgaria. The United States cruisers Tennes see and North Carolina bearing gold for Americans in Europe, havr ar rived at Falmouth. Still Loyal. St. Louis Times. KaiBer Wllhelm may have lost some of his European friends, but we note that all his people and his mustache still stand up for him. Vote in County Democratic Primary, August 15th. CANDIDATES.

Two of Them Flew Over Germans and Propped Bombs From Thousands of Feet In the Air. Paris Dispatch, 16th. Details of a daring exploit at Metz, carried out' by French military avia tors were given today in an official communication Issued by the1 War. office which says: "At half past five on Friday even ing Lieutenant Cesari and Corporal Prudhemme, flying in separate areo planes, left the French fortress of Verdun with orders to reconnolter and if possible destroy the dirigible balloon shed in the German fortress of Metz. "Lieutenant Cesari flew over the fortress at a height of nearly 9,000 feet, while Corporal Prudhemme re mained at an altitude of about 6, 800 feet. A terrific fire was directed on the two aviators from the fort ress garrison and during the fusil lade the motor of the Lieutenant's aeroplane stopped. As he did not wish to fail in his mission he began to volplane and while doing this threw a bomb with marvelous cool ness. Shortly afterward he succeed ed in getting his motor started again. "In the meanwhile the Corporal had hurled his projectile also. ."The smoke over the city pre vented the aviators seeing whether they had been successful but they believed that they had achieved their purpose and flew amid a rain of shell from the quick-firing guns. They returned safely to Merdun." the hot sun to catch up with their work in the fields are now taking a vacation in the school room at Oak Grove. FAIRNESS. I'nlonville Items.

A Card for Mr. Adams. Democrats of Union County: On the day of the primaries, Satur day, Mr. Flow circulated over the I county a circular, the purpose of I which was to make the people believe that he had not fought the Record er's court. That circular was based upon a presumption that you do not remember. In October, 1912, Mr. Flow attacked the Recorder's court venomously. We wish that each of you would call at the Enquirer office at Monroe and ask Mr. Ashcraft to show you a copy of the Enquirer of October. 24, 1912. There Is an arti cle in thajt issue signed by M. L. Flow, headed "AGAINST RECORDER'S COURT." He starts hia article as follows: "Mr. Editor: I published an arti cle In the last Issue of your paper in which I showed that the Recorder's court was wrong as being a one-man court, that is was an expense to the tax-payers of the county." Further on down in the same arti cle Mr. Flow says: "The fines Imposed by Mr. Pratt's court (the Recorder's Court) amount ed to about $3.00 per crime. The Superior Court don't fool with crim inals like that. In a half a dozen of the Superior Court cases tried by Mr. Pratt's court Judge Peebles or Judge Whedbee would have imposed more fines than were collected by Mr. Pratt's court in a year. That is one of the troubles with .the Recorder's court. It Is too much of a cost court. We have given it power to handle big crimes, and It lets criminals off so light that crime Is Increasing." Democrats, we invite you to go to the Enquirer office and see the arti cle In full. And now comes Mr. Flow and tries to make you believe that be was only fighting the provision that none but a lawyer could hold the office! And everybody knows that the original statute had been changed so that any elector, whether a lawyer or not, would be eligible to the office, three and one half years before Mr. Flow wrote the alnive ar ticle. Then Mr. Flow, despairing of fool ing the people Into believing that he did not fight this valuable institution of the county, makes the statement in his circular that If he did fight it, it was because "as the court bad been run it had been a burden and expense to the people." In 1912, when Mr. Flow was making this vicious attack on the court, the only one who had1 ever served as Recorder was Hon. R. I L. Stevens. Mr. Flow's statement, therefore. Is a direct attack upon Mr. ; Steven's administration of the office. Mr. Steven's record as Recorder Is too well known to need defense. The r ports published quarterly by Mr. J. C. M. Vann and Mr. W. J. Pratt, who were prosecuting attorneys of the court, show that at the time of Mr. , Flow's letter, the court had been clearing annually, above Its expenses, i about $900.00 for the general ex penses of the county, and about $1, 700 for Its school fund. No, Mr. Flow, you can't fool the people of Union county; they see through you motives too clearly. 1 On the other hand, voters of Un- Ion county, Mr. II. B. Adams, Jr., who now holds the office, has made an excellent record as Recorder. He treats every man who appears before hint with the kindest consideration. His judgments are always tempered with niery. He Is careful to look 'after the convenlence of witnesses, defendants, and juror's, is always , Irumii, buu yuiuu iv ail, uuu ut) is careful to see that the humblest cl- 4!At hn annaaM li 4)a ssm 4 treated fairly and justly. The people of Union county are a fair people, and show their appreci ation for substantial services by re nominating an officer f"r a second term. Let us show our' appreciation to a man who has worked hard for us and our interests for one term by renominating Mr. Adams by a sweep ing majority on next Saturday. CITIZENS.

The Southern Cotton Con:re-, : ft er endorsing various plans for th.j relief of the crisis in th' rut ten I :.u kct, resulting from the I-urci- n war, com-luded its ssions l:-r- to night. The congress authorized va rious committees to co-operate v. i!h the Federal government and Slate au thorities in their effoits to enable the cotton grower to eiither the iii.n cial storm and .-eouie a fair pri.'e lor the present cotton crop. After emlorsiwr the work so far done by the Southern representatives in Congress in the ma'ter of furnish ing transportation for the ejor trade, and providing currency to fi nance the crop, the congress endors ed a bill introduced in the House by Representative Wingo, of Arkan-as. authorizing the issuance of Fed-r:l reserve notes on cotton. PLAN OUTLINED. Later the report from the Resolu tions committee was adopted outlin ing a plan to meet the entire situa tion. This provided for the appoint ment of a committee of five mem bers to co-operate with Congress, the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve Board to seek means of "fi nancing and marketing the crop, without unnecessary loss to the far mer." The report recommended that all growers hold cotton or the present crop for the price of twelve ami a half cents a pound, based on middling cotton. ASK FOR FUNDS. It urged the Federal Reserve Board and the Secretary of the Treasury to place $300,000,000 in the banks of the South, on the basis of the rutton produced in each State. It then pro posed that every farmer should l ave the right to go to his bank anil se cure a loan on notes maturing in si months but renewable for six months, secured by his cotton on one half of the crop he raised, to eighty per cent of the value of the cotton, based on the average price tor the last five years. These notes, the report rec ommended, should be mude r dis countable in the Federal Re-erve banks. As originally presented the report recommended that the notes contain a stipulation that the farmer would raise only halt of a normal crop in 1915, and if the war was still in pro gress on April 1, should raise only one-quarter of his crop, thus holding down the 1915 production to prevent a glut caused by carrying over this year's surplus. A vigorous discussion resulted in striking out this provision and rec ommended that only the farmer be urged to cut down his crop without stipulation in the proposed notes. TOBACCO AND OTHER CROPS. The report recommended that to bacco and other crops should be handled in the same way, In the dis cretion of the Reserve Board. President E. J. Watson was auth orized to appoint a committee to take up the question of providing ware houses to store such of the crop as will be held over until next year. He was also authorized to name a com mittee of a member from each col ton State, to call a State convention of nine delegates from each county representing farmers, merchants and bankers, to urge Governors to call special sessions of State legislatures to immediately take up the question of installing State warehouse sys tems. Representatives of the Congress will remain In Washington to co operate with the Southern Represen tatives in Congress who are working out plans for legislative aid to the South.
