Delbrueck. the German vice chancellor' In an Inter view on the Anglo-American arbitra tion treaty said that it was simply a piece of diplomatic hypocrisy. "Statesmen cannot take the matter seriously," continued the vice chan cellor. "It Is ridiculous for the United States to talk of peace at the moment iwhen it is about to embark in a con' quest of Mexico. The United States is the greatest fconqueror the world has ever Known, ana is now entering a new period of conquest. ; Thai Is why it Is creating this peace sentiment It is doubtless a clever di plomatic move, but one made merely to conceal greed.

The welcome to the several hundred firemen was further added to by Pres ident Kuester of the Crater Charlotte Club and by Major T. C. Guthrie of the Charlotte Bar.

He has no waving flags, or rattle ot musketry to urge htm in to the conflict His call to duty Is too often a womans cry Of agony. His bat tle flag is the7 lurid glare that over casts the midnight sky.

Washington, D. C, May 17. After twenty three years of waiting the S'u preme Court has finally Interpreted the Sherman law for the regulation and control of trusts and although de clared a monopoly in violation of that law the Standard Oil Company seems to be none the worse for its experl ence. The construction placed upon the lalw by business interests is favorable to this greatest of all trusts. This was evidenced on the stock exchange to day, where there were firm -and even rising prices. In Washington advocates of the lit eral construction and enforcement of the ShefrooB. anti-trust law are of the opinion that the court's decision has greatly weakened that instrument. It is the belief of leading Democrats and Insurgent Republicans here that the law must be strengthened by the pres ent Congress. Criminal prosecution of John D. Rockefeller and officials of the Stand ard Oil Company by the administra tion is discussed as a possibility here last night. To friends the President declined today to commit himself on the subject. Representative Claude Kitchln and other strong lawyers in Congress hold that there Is opportunity for such a proceeding unaer tne snerman anci truet ltew in the light of the decision 'given by the Supreme Court yester day. , I believe it to be the duty of the Attorney-General to institute criminal proceedings against officials of the Standard Oil Company, wMch the highest court in the land has declared a monopoly existing in violation of law," declared Representative Claude Kkchin. "This company lias been de fiantly violating the law for the past twenty years stifling competition and crushing Individuals here and there. If .the Attorney General and his as sistants can run after moonshiners and petty offenders throughout the country, there Is every reason why the head of the Department of Jus tice should begin criminal proceed ings against this powerful monopoly that has knowingly violated the law all' 'these years. LYNCHERS WORK QUICKLY Swainsboro, Ga., May 17.
