Washington. March 29. While It la assumed from the defensive meas ures already taken by the military arm of the government that Presi dent Wilson, in addressing congress next week, will ask for war against Germany, or a declaration that a state of war exists. It is known that he will speak along broad lines, deal ing lightly with incidents leading up to the present crisis. Officials feel now that the time Is past when incidentals should be dis cussed, and henceforth that only fun damental questions of both present and future American safety should be considered. As a result, the Presi dent is gathering opinions and sug gestions from all sides as to the sort of address to make in the coming crucial hours. The general situation has not been changed by the speech of the Ger man Chancellor von Bethmann-Holl-weg today, according to the view to night of officials who read press re ports of the portion cf the addres3 deaUng with the United States and submarine warefare. Germany, it is said, consistently attempted to lay the blame for her acts on other Nations. On previous occasions. President Wilson has taken the position that Germany is in no way justified in carrying on subma rine rutblessness because of the Brit ish blockade. Only complete aban donment of the restricted submarine warfare could change the attitude ot the United States, it has been said seml-officially recently, and press re ports Indicate that the German Chan cellor did not even discuss the pos sibility. The President will meet his Cabi net tomorrow for the last time be fore beginning the actual writing of hia message to congress, and there fore it is expected that the German situation will be dealt with very fully. He is hopeful that no time will be lost in organizing the house, so that he may deliver his address as soon as possible after the extra session con venes. The attitude of both congress and public opinion is sought in order to represent both as fully as possible. As to the former, the President Is anxious not to transgress the consti tutional prerogatives of Congress as the war-making body. It is realized that In the ultimate analysis, regard less of what the President may rec ommend, the responsibility for de cision rests there. Public opinion, it was said here, as Indicated by clippings from news papers In all parts of the country, unmistakably favors decisive action. Beillgerancy Is not confined to the Atlantic and Pacific sections, If opin ions gathered by the Administration are a true index. Demand for action on the part of Congress and the Pres ident comes also from the Interior sections, between the Alleghanies and the Sierras. The views reported by some mid-Western Congressmen as to the apathy of their constituen cies is considered more local than general. The greatest point under consider ation by the Administration at the present time Is whether Germany has not unniistabably shown, through a long succession of violations of in ternational law, that the United States must definitely unite with the liberal democracies of the world against the four most complete autoc racies, both for its present and Its fu ture safety. All hope has been lost, as shown in the note to Germany as to the treaty of 1828, in the good faith of the present German rulers. The Belgian Invasion and deporta tions, the ruthless submarine war fare, the attempts to embroil coun tries In plots, and the general conduct of the war, have convinced many of ficials that the German military sys tem as at present directed Is a per manent danger to the world's peace. PRESIDENT HAS AUTHORITY TO RAISE AN ARMY OF 7000.04M) MEN Senator Chamberlain Wants a Large ' Army at Once Without Further Action by Congress. Washington. March 29. Plans to forward further preparedness meas urse for the army to-day began to as sume definite form. How an Increased armed force may be promptly secured for the present emergeicy as well as universal train ing as a National policy, were dis cussed by President Wilson with Sen ator Chamberlain, of Oregon, chair man of the Senate Military Commit tee. At the same time, Secretary Ba ker and Administration leaders in Congress considered legislation need ed immediately for the military estab lishment. Senator Chamberlain told the Pres ident that he believed the Executive now has authority, without further action by congress, to raise at once in army of more than 700,000 men by Increasing the regular army to war strength and calling out all of the National Guarl at war strength with co-operation from State Executives. There was no intimation that the President was considering such a step Immediately, but the whole field of measures necessary to secure a larger force was discussed. For the present needs, the war de partment, Secretary Baker said, has decided to submit to congress a bud get containing virtually the same pro visions M the regular army appro priation bill which failed at the last session. Estimates for the expense in connection with an enlarged army or for any emergency activities will be presented later. This decision co incides with the house plan to re enact the appropriation bill without change, and send it at once to the senate. Senator Chamberlain also agreed to expedite the bill in the senate. To this end, he said he would not again offer his universal training bill aa a rider, if it would delay prompt action on the supply measure. The conference between the Presi dent ana Senator Chamberlain, at the latter's lequest. wss primarily to dis cuss the Senator's universal plan. He asked the President to endorse the general principle of compulsory train ing In his forthcoming message to congress. The President, It was said, gave no indication of his probable course. After leaving the White House, the Senator said he was '"still hopeful" of Administration endorsement of his measure and also expressed Increased optimism over prospects of passage by the senate of some form of uni versal training measure. As a result of his talk with the President, Senator Chamberlain ex pects to make several Important amendments to his bill, particularly with the idea of Increasing the num ber of trained soldiers It would pro duce In c short period. To this end he proposes to raise the age limit of youths subject to training from 19 to 20 years to secure more mature men and to begin the training periods sooner than provided In the tentative bill, which proposes that about five hundred thousand youthes be tralnea annually with six months continuous service. Another amendment. Senator Chamberlain said, would be to create 36 divisions In the country for the segregation of the training work, with facilities for training an army division of from 22.000 to 27,000 men in each divisional camp. He believed at least 500.000 young men would thus be secured. The Oregon Senator Impressed upon the Presi dent that his plan would not entail the enormous expenses of the Army General Staff training bill. Marshville Man Hands Out Some Ad vice. (From The Marshville Home.) Mr. W. O. Harrell is not much on boasting, but he believes in standing by his friends. In conversation one day with a number of citizens a young fellow who has not yet been up against the world to any great extent and who had not learned that It is posslblo to say things that some folks don't exactly believe, was using his mouth in a manner that was cal culated to give folks the impression that It would not do for a prayerbook. This promising youth was talking about himself and he was of friend of Mr. Harrell. After he had carried his statements Just a little further than a reasonable man's judgment would permit him to go, Mr. Harrell came to his rescue In this manner: "Young man, yon are handling some rather heavy talk, but then you know that he that tooteth not his own horn, the same shall not be tooted." It Is not necessary to state that the conversa tion began to lag. Prencher nnd Carnival Man. (The Statesvllje Landmark.) A local pastor, returning from a visit to a parishioner, found his way home leading through the grounds where the carnival stretched Its tents last week. A gamester with the carnival bunch was looking about for victims when his eye fell on the passing preacher.' "Here you!" said the gamester a couple of times before he got the preacher's pttention. "You speaking to me sir?" said the parson, who is always polite. "Yes! I want to show you a little game," said the carnival man. "I haven't time." said the preach er, as he kept moving. "Oh, blank" (that wasn't the word but It will answer here), said he of the carnival, "take time!" But the preacher didn't not for that game. He only stepped a little faster, fleeing from the devil, so to speak. Not So Expensive After All. (From The Marshville Home.) Mr. W. H. Bivens Is very well pleased with his start at gardening. He hired a mule a few days ago to do a little plowing for early vegetables. The mule hire was 25 cents and Wade was debating In his mind as he quiet ly went about his plowing, as to whether he would be able to reap enough of the fruits of his labor to repay him for his energy and mule hire. Just about that time a new day of hope and satisfaction dawned upon his vision, for there In plain view lay quite a number of excellent, good sized Irish potatoes and before he quit the job a full peck of this valu able garden product had been gath ered, which at present prices amount ed to the value of $1.00, therefore paying for mule hire and leaving Wade 75 cents for his labor, to say nothing of the crop to be harvested from the seeds he planted. The po tatoes had grown from volunteers that came up last fall. Wears Figeon Band on Watch Chain (From The Pageland Journal.) Mr. W. W. Jenkins wears several small bands on his watch chain, hav ing taken them from the legs of some pigeons that came to his house and "took up" a year or two ago. One brass band bears the letters "O. P." and an aluminum band bears the fig ures "41479" and the letters "A. J". Mr. Jenkins would like to known from whenee tame the pigeons. THREW HIS SHOES IN RIVER; DONNED MR. RICHARDSON'S Thirteen-Year-Old Darkey Rifled Mr. Futch's Cosh Drawer, and Swiped a Good Pair of Work Shoe. Mr. Charlie Richardson is minus a pair of good work-shoes, and Mr. Archie Futch Is about six dollars loser as a result of the latter's store being entered last Tuesday evening by Hvury Womack, a thirteen year old negro trip boy. The cash drawer was rifled ot about $9. but Womack. on being appre hended at Aberdeen, was found to have spent all but about three dol lars. He was wearing Mr. Richard son's shoes in court yesterday morn ing, having thrown his, so he claim ed, into the Pee Dee river. The little darkey was In the em ploy of Mr. Futch. On Tuesday even ing, when he was making prepara tions to close his store, he sent the darkey to the rear of the store on an errand. While he was back there, he took down the bar from the back door. When the darkey came back, Mr. Futch let his pass out He then locked the door ana went home. The darkey, It is presumed then went to the rear of the store and entered by th back door, which he had unfasten ed. A lot of silver quarters, halves, nlckles, dimes and a handful of pen nies were taken from tne drawer, and Mr. Richurc.ion's il.nvi were picked up from behind tho counter. Womack, the next morning, bought a ticket for Norfolk, where hia moth er lives. Officer Lanoy, who had been called into the case by Mr. Futch, wired the Hamlet officers to be on the lookout. The Hamlet officers missed the darkey, but sent a wire on to Aberdeen. The darkey was caught there, and the Monroe officers were notified of his arrest. Special Officer Robinson went to Aberdeen the next day and brought the darkey back to Monroe, where he was tried by Judge McRae yesterday morning. As the darkey is most too young to work on the roads, Judge McRae con tinued the case for a while in order to give him time to secure some re liable party to pay the court costs, and work the negro on the farm In payment. Mr. McUae belelves this is the best solution when it comes to disposing of youthful prisoners. He has made several experiments along this line, and on the whole, they have proved very satisfactory. The court was troubled about Mr. Richardson's shoes. The darkey had no others, and even If this had not been the case, Judge McRae and the officers exhibited a delicacy about re turning the shoes to Mr. Richardson after the darkey had worn them. They are good shoes, and one canuiK be too particular these days. Plenty of Fertilizer Belnjr Sold. High-priced cotton is no Induce ment to tho Union county fanner to increase his acreage, judging by the amount of fertilizer being sold. There is no decrease, it appears, in the amount they have been using, but there is no notlcable increase. Mr. S.B.Hart, well-known fertilizer deal er, said the demand was about nor mal, Mr. R. H. Hargett, member of the firm of Collins & Hargett, stated that no more than the usual demand for fertilizers had been noticed by their firm Some of the Monroe fer tilizer dealers have been experiencing a great deal of trouble In securia:; shipments. One firm ordered a car load of fertiliser from Charlotte a week ago, but have not yet received the goods. Inability to secure cars is said to be the trouble. Colonel Hunts Devil Fish. In an address at Jacksonville, Fla., Saturday, Col. Roosevelt said he would have a division of Ameri can soldiers in the trenches of France within four or five months if given permission by the government. The statement was made Just after the band had played "Dixie" and Colo nel Roosevelt had remarked: "I would like to hear that tune against Von Hindenburg's line in France." He said the United States should carry the war to Germany and plead ed for universal military training. Then Col. Roosevelt left for Fort Myers to hunt devil fish. North Carolina Aviator Missing. Sergeant J. R. McConnell, an Am erican aviator with the aviation corps in France, has been missing four days since last seen engaged with two German machines over the Ger man lines. McDonnell was scouting with Aviator Jenny, another Ameri can, when they encountered two Ger man machines which McConnell en gaged with Jenny protecting him from a higher level. Jenny was wounded In the head and drew away, regaining the French lines. When he last .looked back he saw both Ger man machines above McConnell at tacking him. This was four days ago and nothing has been heard of Mc Connell's fate. McConnell Is a son of Judge S. P. Connell of Carthage, Mooro county. Day's Killing at Parking Plant. The Moultrie (Ga.) Packing Plant one day last week killed 1,020 hogs, the largest number In one day since the plant was built, and the largest number of animals ever killed In one day in a Southern plant. The total weight of the hogs was 165,234 pounds, over 160 pounds av erage. The total price of the hogs was over f 19,000, the price per pound being over 11 cents a pound, the highest price ever paid for slaughter hogs in the South. Cats, unlike politicians, give voice to the most decided utterance., while on the fence In the dark. COTTON IS ItEACIUNCi FORMER HJUIt LEVEL; MANY SALES SLIDE Mr. Hall Wilson Sold Forty-Seven I tales Wednesday, and Mr. J. R. I oil han Disftosed of Twenty-Seven Market May Still Go Higher. The laugh Is now on the other fel low. Those who sold their cotton along In December and January at fancy prices were Inclined to smile at t.'ieir less fortunate brothers who had some of the staple on hand when the big crash cauie about February fir.it. Uut now it Is changed. The market has nbw about reached its former high level, and the prospects are that it will continue to go higher. Good middling cotton brought 19:&5 here yesterday, while Rowden was in such demand that the buyers gladly handed over 20:50. There were plenty to take the offers. One hundred and twenty bales were sold here Wednesday, but the sales drop ped off to thirty-one on Thursday. However, they commenced to roll ing in yesterday, and before the market closed, one hundred and forty-eight bales had been weighed at the platform. Cotton Weigher H. M. Presson says more bales were sold here on Monday than any other first-day of the week since he had been at the platform. It Is very seldom that many bales are sold on the first day of the week, and last Monday's per formance surprised Mr. Presson very much. The market has been on the up grade for about a week. There has been no sensational feature; just a steady gain from eighteen cents to nlneteen-eighty-five. The market seems to be In a very settled condi tion and further advances are ex pected. Several big cotton transactions have been recorded In the past few days. Mr. Hall Wilson disposed of forty-seven bales to Messrs. J. E. Stack & Co. on Wednesday. The whole amount brought $3838.35. Mr. J. It. Lathan sold twenty-seven bales the former part of the week, for which he received a check for. $2700. C. A. Carrlker disposed of three bales yesterday for $243.66, and Mr. R. H. Blakeney got $947 for eleven bales. Twenty nnd a half cents was the highest price paid for short staple prior to the big crash. Buyers books show that this price was paid on Nov. 28. The market held onto Its high level until about Feb. 1, when It fell to 17 1-2 to 18 1-2 cents. Since then Its rise back to former levels has been steady and firm.

Uncle Sam wants an assortment or Monroe machinists, blacksmith, and others skilled In tho mechanical trade to accept employment at navy yards or arsenals. Mr. John Fulenwlder. secretary of the Monroe Civil SerViie board, has received word to this ef fect, and he Is now prepared to give out full particulars at the post office. There is no stated wage scale of fered by the Government, but on the application cards the would-be naval employee is asked to state the lowest amount he would work for. It Is mote of a preparedness scheme than anything else, as it is optional with the applicant as to what branch of service he serves, and there is no enlistment feature attached to it. De tails of the plan, as supplied to Mr. Fulenwlder, follow: "Referring to previous correspond ence in regard to securing mechanics and helpers for the navy yards and ordinance establishments to fill exist ing vacancies, you are advised the Commission proposes to establish a list of persons proficient In the differ ent trades and occupations required so that when the necessity for the employment of such persons arises it will" be available. "It Is proposed to list mechanics not already working on Government contracts, who would be willing to accept Government employment at once, and also those who would not accept Immediate employment but who would accept In case the country urgently needed their services. "You are requested to interview the heads of labor, fraternal and oth er organization in your city with a view to secure their co-operation. You will also endeavor to interest In dividual workmen in the work." Shooting at Ijkncaster. (From The Pageland Journal.) Mr. "Eck" Carnes was shot and killed at Lancaster Sunday afternoon by Mr. Tant Hunter at the home of the latter's father. The facts are hard to get, but It appears from the reports that there had been some trouble before and that Carnes was drinking when he went to the Hunt er home. Trouble started and Carnes was shot In the leg with a shot gun. A large artery was cut and the man soon died from loss of blood. Mr. Carnes was formerly deputy sheriff and Jailer under Sheriff Hunter. Mr. Hunter was formerly rural police man. The latter gave himself up to the officers soon after the shooting.

Another Killing Scrape In Stanly Paul Brown, eighteen-year-old son of Mitchell Brown, prominent farmer in the Aquadale section of Stanly county, shot and killed John Murray, another well-to-do farmer living in the same section. Brown escaped. The cause of the trouble seemingly has not been learned, but it is thought that possibly a feud which is said to have existed between the Murray and Brown families was the cause of the tragedy. It seems that no one was present at the time of the shooting except the small boy of Mr. Murray, but Brown Is said to have made a statement Immediately after the kill ing to the effect that he was the par ty who did the shooting. It is said that he also told his mother what he had done when be reached home. "June" ami His Horse, Frank. (From The Waxhaw Enterprise.) Mr. A. A.

Futhermore Mr. Haigler says that his name has nev er appeared on any mortgage and he will die without ever having any thing against him. If he should have to borrow money, Mr. Haigler says he will give a real estate mortgage to the last penny of his land, but Frank will never be used for security. Mariage License For Sale at Bargain.

Hav ing no appeal from her decision, the said gentleman brought the papers back and called for his three dollars. Here he met the same "nix", so he went his way with unpleasant mem ories of "her" and "three". Plowing Too Wet. (From The Pageland Journal.) "I see Mr. up here has been plowing his land too wet." said a prominent farmer to the writer the other day. "Yes," we replied, "and I saw some fellows plowing yester day Just after the rain." Entirely too much land has been plowed wet this spring. Fanners In the clay land do not dare plow much when the land la wet for they know the land will get so hard they can hardly scratch it. But the sand will not get haid, and rumy farmers 'amago their land without reall' it. It 13 Just ns bad to plow ra et as it 13 clay, except that the sand wilt not get so hard.

A stranger entered the grocery store of a small town and asked for all the stale eggs on hand. Ai he put the last one in the bag the grocer said facetiously: "Looks as though you were going to see 'Hamlet played tonight" "No, sir," came the answer grimly, "I'm going to play 'Hamlet' tonight."

For Instance, when a man forms the habit of receiving neckties or safety razors, or slippers for Christmas pres ents front his friends, he never gets anything but neckties, safety razors. or slippem. CONGRESS MAT BE ASKED 10 DECLARE STATE OF WAR THAT SEEMS TO BE 1MPRESSIO.V When President's Views Are Given, Congress Will Act Promptly. Washington. March 28. With every agency of government rolling resist lessly toward complete preparedness for impending war. President Wilson and hia adisers tonight devoted themsehe to the task of fixing the administration policy to be submitted to Congress in extraordinary session next week. While the White House was shrouded in secrecy and the Pres ident made no announcement, ad ministration ornciala declared that Immediate and decisive action has been decided upon. The sole ques tion now remaining is, what form that action shall take, and how it shall be taken. The exact form of the recommendations which the Pres ident will make to Congress In his war address were considered today at Col. E. M. House, the President's closest adviser, went over the inter national situation in detail with the chief executive. Tonight there was a general feel ing in administration circles that the German crisis will be disposed of by a joint resolution of Congress re citing the German violations of Am erican rich:, and declaring that these violations have brought about the existence of a state of war be tween the two nations. Thereafter the activities of the Congress will be devoted to placing at the Presi dent's disposal all cf the means and authority necessary to the successful prosecution of hostilities. Active rteps to meet the Presi dent's recommendations when they are made, were taken by conferences of coneressional leaders today. Chair man Flood of the house foreign af fairs committee and other Democratic members of the committee made an exhaustive digest of former war dec larations, and framed a tentative resolution declaring the existance ot a state of war. The congressional leaders declared that when the Presi dent's views are expounded action by Congress will be prompt and effec tive. They took up in conference to day the problem of furnishing the ' sinews of war". The first routine business to be taken up will be the passage of the army appropriation bill, which failed In the closing days cf the last session. It would provided $270,000,000 as framed in the last session, but em ergency additions made necessary by the events of the past few weeks and the dire possibilities of the future will bring the total up to probably double that amount. The mobilization of the financial resources of the nation to prepare for impending war will be taken up by the house ways nnd means committee as soon as the house is organized. President Wilscu and his advisers are at woik on a financial program which has not been definitely fixed, but which may finally include the extension of American credit to the entente allies, while the United States is making ready far actual partici pation in the war if it becomes a bel ligerent. Treasury department of finials and financial exports ii Con gress declared tonight that the coun try 13 financially more prosperous) than ever before In Its l.iatory and that the only problem before tho ad ministration is the effective use of the great money resources of the na tion. The attitude of the administration toward the present state of affairs be tween this country and Germany was made clear at the state department today. Secretary Lansing said that inquiries had been despatched some time ago to the neutral nations of the world asking what their attitude would be toward American armed merchant ships entering their ports. Today he explained that this Inquiry was not sent to determine what the neutral attitude would be to Ameri can armed ships during the present status of armed neutrality. He made the significant statement that the neutrals were asked to declare their attitude toward American armed merchant vessels If the United States should become a belligerent. In this same connectlcn It was stated that congress had been called to Washing ton, not to express Its views on the situation but to receive the views of the administration, and to act upon them. It was made clear that a defi nite and aggrersive program will be laid before the representatives of the people and immediate and decisive action will be demanded. Trinity School Closing.
