Washington, Sept. 29. Any purpose that any neutral

George, made yesterday, in the opinion of State Depart

Britain Would Dominate World, Says Germ'n Chancellor.
Berlin, Sept.y29. Chancellor. Von. Bethmann-Holl-weig's
Reichstag address, placing the blame for the con
tinuation of tbfe European slaughter at the door of Ger
many's enemies, won enthusiastic approval from a ma
jority of thmembers. The chancellor made no offer of
peace; dui zr.aicaiea mai m

moutams of corpses. The British wish to crush out our
exirtence as a nation. A Germany crushed economically
is defenseless from a military standpoint, boycotted by
the world,' and condemned to eternal feebleness that is
the Germany England wishes to see at her feet. When
England no longer fears Cerman competition, France
will be bled o death. All the other Allies will become
slaves jtp England, and the dream of British world su
premacy is to become a reality.
English Press Lauds Lloyd-George.
London, Sept. 29 Lloyd-George's declaration that the
war must continue to a knockout and warning to neu
trals to keep "hands off," contained in an interview with
the United Press yesterday, won the unanimous support
of the English press today. It was printed in every news
paper irrGreat Britain' and telegraphed by all news agen
cies throughout Europe. . '
, ' The papers comment editorially at length. "The state
ment utters the immutable wall and purpose of the entire
British Empire. It is a forcible answer to peace talk,"
said the London Times. "Interviewing is an American
institution which the old world has borrowed. It is only
appropriate that in choosing this method of expressing
his views the secretary for war should favor with his con
fidence one of the great American news organizations."
Said the London Express: "To all would-be peacemak
ers, whether America, Rome or Snain, or another neutral,
the war secretary bluntly said, 'Keep out of the ring.' "

'Sheriff Taylor returned Thursday
night from the Lenoir-Jones county

a shooting affair. A number of ne

on Friday.
According to one account Will
Gooding, ''about 16 or 17 years of
age," and Bill Isler were colored part-
, ners in love matters. Isler and
- ,- ,
Gooding were compelled to resort to

f uccessful in the case of Isler. Good

knows no reason, couldn't get his

Floyd Gooding, and Clyde 'Dunn, an
other negro boy, to bring him a gun.
