COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES CONCLUDED UST XKiHT Thhtt-en In (inuluatlng Clans Medal Awarded Mr. Henry Hi-owning IViiierwii Morrison Itelivered Ad Ore Sermon by Rev. Mr. Wra). Hon. Cameron Morrison of Char lotte delivered the address which concluded the commencement exer cises ot the Monroe High School last night. His subject was '"Good Gov ernment." in which he showed that our government was the best on earth. He urged a broader scope in education with a tendency along more practical lines, the incorporating as a part ot the government means of combating disease, a better spirit of co-operation and the fostering by the government of all legitimate indus tries. Speaking to the graduating class he pleaded with them to go on in the work ot acquiring an education and impressed them with the importance ot reading good books. Mr. Morri son's address was au excellent one well delivered. He Baid in part: "The competitive system upon which the great fabric ot the govern ment was founded and under which we tme grown so great and good niuait maintained and not displaced by a government founded upon either bolshevism- or socialism. I cannot contemplate with composure a par ticular class ot people asserting sov ereignty over every class, nor can I contemplate everything being taken charge of by the state, all incentive to individual effort smothered and the results of each man's labor being held in common. But in order to maintain this competitive system and our great scheme of government founded upon it, individually created wealth must recognize responsibility for the common welfare. "It was never intended that each man should selfishly keep everything upon which he could lay hands, al though the results of his own toil, ' but that he would yield of his earn ings to the support of sacred, patri otic and general welfare purposes. If we are to save our country from the error of socialism and bolshevism, we must generously do the sacred, patri otic and ceneral welfare work which an enlightened conscience demands. Pure selfishness in individual posses sions cannot prevail in this country. We must liberally sustain the church, pay the increased cost of an up-to-date- and progressive govern ment We must have a government friendly to every business In which our people are engaged and yet sub servient to none. We want in every possible way to foster the creation of wealth and then reasonably subject it to the burden of taking care of the unfortunate, sustaining the church, the government and uplifting human ity in the many ways which will cre ate greater strength and efficiency; and yet, keep some of it In the hands that created it to sustain the com- petitve system, and for business ex tension and enterprise. It will not do to take everything from the men and women who make it. Such a policy will kill Initiative and destroy human effort. ''We must improve our health laws and diminish sickness and disease. "We must improve our school sys- Item until the boys and girls of North Carolina have as good opportunity I for an education as an enlightened I world can furnish. We must have vocational training in our schools I wherever, and as fast as the wealth of the communities, is sufficient to justify it." Mr. B. C. Ashcraft Introduced Mr. Morrison. There were thirteen members of the graduating class this year ten Kour.g ladies and three young men. preceding the address by Mr. Morrl- fcon, Mr. V. B. Love, chairman of the kchool board, presented them with Iheir diplomas.

An Innovation in the commence nt exercises wax the serving of icheon by Miss Mabel Tate's do atlc science class to , parents of mbers of the graduating class and tbe school trustees. The luncheon a well prepared and well served. Rev. John A. Wray preached the mon In the First Baptist church iday night, taking his text from book of Jeremiah, wherein the Its lamented that Jerusalem for the latter end and therefore must , fee down. Rev. Mr. Wray's was inspiring nermon forefully dellv- e impressed upon the graduating M the n9cessity for a hljh ideal t'thouglit for the future. "One's. worth to the world depends upon his service; his service depends upon his character and his character de pends upon his relation to God," he told the class. He advised them to continue in their education but cau tioned them against being tricked into infidelity. He declared that Ba con never uttered a truer statement when he said that "A little learning draws man from God while much learning brings him home." He told the class to build -their lives on the foundation of truth and to follow plans designed by the Divine Archi tect. In the course of his sermon Rev. Mr. Wray digressed to say a word in favor of the proposition to vote bonds to the amount of $50,000 for a new high school building. He de clared Monroe could better dispense with paved streets and a hospital than a new high school building. He re lated how an assistant commissioner ot education connected with the Fed eral government visited Monroe last week and while here expressed the opinion that of all the towns he had visited making a survey of school equipment that he found here was the worst. Friday night the members of the graduating class enjoyed a reception at the Joffre. A delightful hour was spent. Miss Myrtle Wrenn acted as chaperone. Mlt.

C, June 2. The atten tion of cotton growers is called to the fact that last year there was the worst epidemic of Red Spider in cot ton that has occunvd in the present century. Mr. Franklin Sherman, Chier of the Division of Entomology, wishes to remind these growers that this pest often gets its start in cotton from poke-weeds which are allowed to grow up In fence corners, along ditch banks, around stumps, rock piles, and other places. One of the most effective ways of preventing the appearance of the pest is to keep all the poke-weeds cut out. Late May and early June is the season when this should especially be looked after. While the Red Spider does not be gin to be destructive in cotton until after the first of July, yet Just at this time it is getting its start on poke weed and other wild plants, from which It will spread to the cotton lat er. As it feeds on a number of wild plants, including clovers, the black berry, and other plants, even the clearing out of the poke-weed may not be an absolutely perfect prevent ative; but It is certain that this plant, more than any other Is responsible for its getting into cotton fields. One way, therefore, to protect the cotton Is to destroy all the poke-weeds In or near the cotton field. Rate Increase Upheld Increased railroad, telephone and telegraph rates ordered by the rail road administration and by the post master general, respectively, were sustained yesterday by the supreme court which held that the war power conferred by Congress upon the Pres ident included sweeping control over the railroad and wire systems with "supreme and conclusive" authority to fix intrastate rales. These question were decided In two opinions rendered by Chief Justice White, the one relative to the railroad rates being unanimous, while Justice Brandeis dissented in the telephone and telegraph decision but without rendering a separate opinion. The opinions affect litigations which have been Instituted In about 40 states and which Involve the validity of both rate orders.

PALMER KILLS ANOTHER Explosion Injure Home of Palmer nml Wa Followed By Similar Ex plosions in Seven Other Citie Dl. reeled Chiefly Against lliblir Off), rials. Washington, June 2. Attempts on the life of Attorney General Palmer were made tonight through the plant ing of a bomb which wrecked the lower portion of the Palmer resi dence in the fashionable northwest portion in Washington. Mr. Palmer and all members of the family escap ed without injury, being on the sec ond floor at the time of the explosion. One man. thought to be the person who planted the bomb, was blown to bits by the force of the explosion. Police believe that the bomb exploded prematurely before It could be placed under the Itouse. The bomb, the police said, was con tained in a suitcase filled with cloth ing. Portions of the clothing of the man killed. It was said, indicated that he was roughly clad. An empty suitcase, found near the entrance to the Palmer home, and a handbill signed "The Anarchistic Fighters," printed on red paper, worded In inflammatory fashion, and serving notice of Intent of its authors to begin general war on leaders of so ciety, was the only clue available at a late hour tonight. The remains of the man killed were literally shredded over the block, and driven into the asphalt pavement. "The only way I can construe the Incident," said Major Pullman, super, lntendent of the capital police, at the end of his preliminary investigation. "is on the theory that the explosive blew up just as It was being deposited in the doorway. It is poslble but un likely that It was a passerby involv ed." Instantly upon receipt of news of the attempts on lives of other leading men In other communities, Major Pullman ordered special guards sent out to the residences of cabinet offi cers and prominent men in the gov ernment. Mr. Palmer and other members of the family were at home, but escaped any Injury, though the front of the residence almost collapsed with the force of the explosion. They were on the second floor preparatory to retir ing, at the time. So thoroughly was the rorpse of the man killed scattered that sur geons had difficulty In ascertaining whether one or two persons had been involved. Pieces of two separate fire arms were also located, one an auto matic pistol and the other a revolver, The suitcase was of cheap const! u- tlon. The hand bill, which was grease-spotted, was headed in large letters, "Plain Words."- It openet with the statement: "The powers that be make no secret of their in Mention to stop the world-wide revo' lution in America," and conclude!, af:er announcing its acceptance of some kind of a war, with a printed signature, "The Anarchistic Fight ers." In all cases except Patersoii and Philadelphia, the bomb attempts were directed atialnst the lives of pub lie officials. In Paterson the hoin '.f a silk manufacturer was wrecked while In Philadelphia where two ex plosions occured. Attempts were made to blow up a Catholic church and a private residence. The explosions in the other ci.ies were followed at midnight by others in New York city where a bomit ex ploded in the house of Charles C Nott. Jr., and in Nowtoiiville, Mass., where the house of State Representa tive Leland W. Powers, was wrecked First report that that no one was In Jured in the Newtonvllle explosion. The simlliarlty of the reports re ceived from various cities recalled to authorities the May day bomb lot of a month ago. N. C.-4 COMPLETES JOURNEY Arrived In Plymouth, England, Sat-m-day Afternoon and Are (ilven a Welcome There. The Associated Press reports the arrival of the American Lame Duck as follows: Seaplane NC-4, pride of the Amer ican navy, crossed Plymouth sound this afternoon, circled the place when the Pilgrim fathers sailed In their cockle-shell ship for the new world In 1620, and alighted in the Cattewater, her epoch-making trans Atlantic flight ended. As she came into view through the haze, easily recognizable among the escorting British fliers by her great bulk, England gave her the splendid welcome she deserved. Leaving Ferrol, Spain, where Lieu tenant Commander Albert C. Read had elected to spend Friday night .at 6:27 this morning, the NC-4 covered the distance of aproximately 500 miles to Plymouth, in less than seven hours. Despite adverse wind and weather conditions, the NC-4 covered the last leg without a hitch to mar the ex ploit Safe and sound, but thorough ly fatigued by the physical ordeal of the trip, as well as the mental strain, Commander Read and his crew are sleeping peacefully tonight The NC-4 appeared suddenly out of the hate at 2:19, summer time. After circling over the harbor she dropped gracefully toward the Catte- ater, alighting near the buoy pre pared tor her at 2:22. ' The great cr6wd on the harbor front cheered heattlly and craft tied down their whistles n noisy welcome. GERMANS SAY IMPOSSIBLE TO CARRY OCT THE TERMS Delegate Will Refuse to Sign the Present Treaty, Altliouglf They Re, aliie They Must Make Some Sacri fice Summary of the Reply. Germany, although realizing that she must make sacrifices to obtain peace, is convinced that the execu tions of the peace treaty as drawn "are more than the German people can bear, according to an Associated Press dispatch sent out Sunday. Count von Brockdorff - Rantzau, head ot the German peace delegation, thus sums up the attitude of the German nation towards the proposed treaty of peace In a note to the allied and associated powers, outlining va rious German counter-proposals. The German note, delivered to Premier Clemenceau, president of the peace conference, last Thursday, was made public Sunday night by the state de partment. The German delegation now here. In its note, asserts that it will refuse to sign the present treaty but de clares on the behalf of the German nation that "even in her need. Justice for her Is too sacred a thing to allow her to stoop to achieve conditions which she cannot undertake to carry out " Exclusion of Germany from the league of nations, the note asserts, means that in signing the peace treaty Germany would be executing a "decree for its own proscription, nay its own death sentence." The German people, the note says, have been disappointed in their "hope for a peace of -Justice which had been promised" and stand "aghast" at the demands made upon them by the "victorious violence of our enemies." Outlining Its counter proposals, the German delegation agrees to reduc tion ot Getniany's army and navy on condition that Germany be admitted Immediately to the league of nations; to renounce Germany's sovereign rights to Alsaace-Lorraine and Posen, but as to all other territories which Germany is called upon to give up the principle of self-determination, applicable at once, is asked; to sub ject all German colonies to adminis tration by the league ot nations not under German mandatory and to make the indemnity payments as re quired but In amounts that will bur den the German taxpayer no more heavier than the taxpayer of the most heavily-burdended state among those represented on the reparations com missions. The note declares Germany is will ing to pool her entire merchant ma rine with that of the associated pow ers. Neutral participation In the in quiry as to responsibility for the war Is asked. John Barrymoi-e's Make-up In New Film Makes one Shudder There are few if any actors on the American stage whose faculty for making up to suit the requirements of his roles is developed more artisil cally that that possessed by John Barrymore. This Is amply evidenced by him in his nw Paramount photo play, "The test of Honor," which wim be shown at the Strand Theatre next Wednesday. In portraying the role of a man who has served ten years In the pen itentiary, Mr. Barrymore surprised his director, John Robertnn, and his fellow players, In the production, by appearing In a make-up so grueBonie ly realistic that It caused every one to gasp and shudder. His face, ghast ly yellow from prison-pallor, was deeply lined, and shaded so that It gave the appearance of being haggard and shrunken under the cheek bones. In some artful manner he gave to his throat a shrunken appearance, while the cords stood out pathetic ally from the muscles. His eyes con veyed that hunted expression of the convict, and his hair, naturally black, was powered with white In streaks. His hands, too, were not overlook ed In the make-up, and so thin were the fingers that they resembled claws more than human hands. When his sister, Ethel Barrymore, drove up to the studio, he appeared in this strange make-up at the door, and the onlookers saw her gasp and grow pale. , Mr. Barrymore Is splendidly sup ported, his leading women beging Constance Blnney and Marcla Manon. The story is based upon E. Philips Oppenhelm's novel, "The Malefact or," and the plcturation was made by Eve Unsell. State College Summer School. The fifth session of the State Col lege Summer School at Raleigh which begins June 10 and lasts through July 23, promises to be one of great est benefit and profit to those In at tendance. Dr. W. A. Withers, the di rector of the Summer School, an nounces that the greatest pains have been taken to provide courses and In struction which shall meet the needs of all those attending regardless of the diversity ot their needs.

Special courses are offered to home-makers to enable them to plan their homes on the basis of a business establishment, where income must cover outlay. Courses in cookery are planned to give the student practice in preparing an aouetizine meal in an attractive and economical manner. Courses in dietetics, sewing and cook ery taken together, will give the stu dent a thoroueh training in the art of conducting a home on a business basis, an art in which the American people need earnest Instruction. Many other interesting courses have been planned: in languages, Latin. French and Snanish- In liter ature, history, basketry, and physical education. Swimming will be a feat ure of the school.

A special from Sumter, S. C, to the Columbia State says: Coming back with a broad view of international conditions gained from intimate contact with world figures at the peace conference, Richard I. Manning, former governor ot South Carolina, when he arrived here to day from Europe, where he has been since March 23, said that. In his opin ion, he future of cotton was very bright. He stated that when the peace treaty is signed and the world markets again resume their normal functioning, the markets will be cry ing far cotton. He thinks that the demand will consume the supply now available and that which will be pro duced this year. The governments of Europe, de pleted of resources and with a de flated mdney market, he said, will not be able to handle American cot ton unassisted, but, said Governor Manning, corporations will have to be formed in the United States to han dle the exports and extend credits. The former governor said Barnard M. Baruch and Vance McCormick are friends of the Southern cotton plant er and are doing al In their power to help him. Former Governor Manning and Mrs. Manning, who accompanied him to Europe, where he went to the peace conference as the accredited delegate of the League to Enforce Peace, ex-President Taft's organiza tion, arrived from New York this morning at 11:30 o'clock. This af ternoon they went to Governor Man ning's farm at Boykin and will gpend Sunday at tne home of B.. H. Boykin at Boykin. While in Europe they visited the grave of their son, Maj. William Sinkler Manning, who was buried on the Argonne battlefield, and were shown the great battlefields of the war. They spent some time with their three sons In the Eighty first division, Maj. Bernard Manning, Burwell Deas Manning and John Ad ger Manning. The former governor and his wife speak interestingly ot their experi ences while abroad, the world figure! they-met and the many courtesies shown them while in France and England. They arrived at Halifax from abroad May 24. Former Governor Manning is un measured in his praise of President Wilson's work at the peace confer ence, the conduct and morale of the American soldiers abroad, and the undiluted patriotism and high cour age and fortitude of the American women who served In the world war. The ex-governor says that he comes home with a keener realization of what America stands for and its purpose In the world scheme of af fairs. He believes that the league of nations is necessary for the peace of the world and is satisfied that the senate will adopt It. NC-4 WILL NOT TRY TO FLY RACK TO AMERICA Navy Does Not Contemplate Non-Stop Trans-Atlantic Flight in Near Fu tureDoes Not Favor "Stunt" Fly lint. The American naval seaplane NC 4 which arrived at Plymouth, England, Saturday, thereby completing the first transatlantic flight, will not attempt a non-stop or any other kind ot a flight back to the United States. Secre tary Daniels said yesterday. The sea plane will be disassembled and shipp ed to this country. The secretary said the navy con templated no attempt at a non-stop transocean flight In the near future as the navy did not desire to make a spectacular showing, was not in any competition for trans-Atlantic flight honors and did not favor "stunt" fly ing. Secretary Daniels declared that the navy is content to rest on its laurels for the present and that the NC-4 will be brought back to this country on board the U. S. S. Aroostook. The crews will return later on board gov ernment vessels. The NC-4 flight was purely in the interest ot aerial science, he said. "After we have compiled all of the data gathered during this flight, been made confident by our mistakes and reconstructed our planes to conform with the lesson we have learned, It will then be time to begin considering further experiment in transatlantic flying; until then we are satisfied," Secreary Daniels .iJded. Asked If the crew of the NC boat would go to Paris, Secretary Daniel said that thy would go if President Wilson or Admiral Benson sent for them. Otherwise they will return to the United States shortly and avia tion officials will begin the work of compiling the data obtained and be gin a series ot experiments ir an ef fort to place It In effect . Experiments are now being con ducted with the C type of lighter than air flying craft and It Is possible that when the next attempt at a trans oceanic flight does come, that one ot the big dirigibles will be used . Messages of congratulation to the navy upon the success of its exploit were received today from King George, of England, the Brazilian minister of marine, General Guglle mottl. In behalf of the Italian army, and the Birltsn air ministry. r 5 U T i v
