VOL. XX1. YADKINVILLE, YADKIN CO., N. 0., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17,1915. NO. 7. GERMAN AMO GREAT BR)TA!M BET MOTES D)PLOMAT8 AND OFFlCiAL8 AT WA8HiNGTON ARE DEEPLY iNTERESTED. WA!T!NG FOR THE REPUES Beiiovad That Great Britain Wii) Give Aaaurancaa She Wii) Not Sanction Uae of Neutrai Fiaga. Washington.—Reading of the offi cial texts of the two notes from the United States to Germany and Great Britain deveioped in intense interest among officiais and dipiomats in the question of what wouid be the nature of the repiies from the two belliger ent Governments. That Great Britain would give as surances of no intention to sanction the general use of neutral dags by British merchant ships was the be lief of many officials. But the widest sort of speculation, based on a variety of conceptions of German's plans to waging a submarine war on merchant ships, was heard as to the probable response of the Berlin Foreign office. Count von Bernstori, the German Ambassador, declined to discuss the note to Germany as he had received no advices from Berlin concerning it The British Embassy also was silent. What excited most attention in Con gress and among diplomats, however, was the serious tone of the notes even though qualified by the polite terms of diplomatic usage. The determina tion of the United States Government to have the American flag used only by ships entered to fly it and the warning that Germany would be held "to a strict accountability" If Ameri can lives or vessels were lost in the attacks on merchant vessels In the newly-delimited sea zones of war, practically were the sole topics of dis cussion in executive and congressional quarters as well as among the Ambas sadors and Ministers of belligerent and neutral nations. RUSSiAN iNVASiON CHECKED Moving Back From German Territo ry, A)so )n Poland. London—The Russian incursion in to east Prussia appears to be as short lived as were the previous Russian raids into German territory. German's superb equipment of stragetic rail ways have enabled her within *a few days to tU'ow immense {bodies of) troops against the invaders. In the present case the German sol diers appear to have been rushed into east Prussia from both Poland and interior points. The situation in the Carpathians looks favorable to the Russians who in spite of snow blocked roads, are pressing against the Austrian defenses at three of the most important pass es. Berlin admits the Russians have entered Hungarian territory at sev ers! points in the Carpathian district but declares these positions were most dearly bought. Big Speetacuiar Aerial Attack. London.—Aerial warfare was wag ed on the largest scale in its history and under adverse circumstances from the standpoint of the weather. Brit ish airmen, buffeting snow in the air. swept over cities of Northern Belgium held by the Germans, droped bombs no Ostend, Bruges and other places. Thirty-four aeropianes and sea planes of the British navy took part in the operations and all returned to their base, without casualties to their drivers, although two machines were damaged. The raid was made to pre vent the development of submarine bases and establishments which might further endanger British warships and merchantmen. Although no submarines were seen the British admiralty statement indi/ cates that the raid had satisfactory re sults for considerable damage is said to have been done to German .posi tions, railway lines and railway sta tions. At various points the airmen were received by a German fire from anti aerial guns and tides. None of the airmen is reported by th,e admiralty to have been wounded. Citrus Fruit Record Broken. Tampa, Fla-—Shipments of citrus fruits from Folrida this season tota! more than 20.000 carloads, according to figures announced here. Present estimates indicate this year's crop \.Mt uit.ah. nil previous records. FLASHES FROM THE WiRES. Capt. Brewer of the American steam er Wilhelmina, bound for Germany with a food cargo, said that the voy age from New York was the roughest he had known in 25 years experience. Extra watchmen have been employ ed at Portland, Me., to protect the bridges between the city and the Can adian boundary. Mrs. Fannie Crosby, famous hymn writer died in her 95th year at her home at Bridgeport Conn. The cornerstone of the two mil lion Lincoln memorial structure at Washington has been laid. The 1916 convention of the National Association of Merchant Taifors has been awarded to St. Louis. A biH for statewide prohibition was passed 39 to 10 by the iowa senate. It now goes to the house. CLAUOE HUM'S COMPHOiMSE BtLL BHtPPiNG BtLL IN AMENDED FORM TO BE PUT THROUGH HOUSE. W!LS0N WANTS SENATE B)LL Artd Wit) Press it to Laat, Even to Ex tent of Catting Extra Seaaton.— The Compromise Ptan. Washington.—A compromise propos al designed to extricate the Adminis tration ship-purchase bill from the < deadiock that has biocked its passage in the Senate and to avert an extra session was put forward by House Democrats through Representative Kitchin of North Carolina, chosen ma jority leader of the next House. The new plan, which proposes the passage of the shipping bill ae a tem porary emergency measure was devel oped at conferences on the House side of the Capitol while the Senate mark ed time with both opponents and sup porters of the measure sparring for advantages. An adjournment of the Senate advanced the plans of the Democratic ieaders to force a cloture rule that would end the determined Hiiibustbr. As announced by Representative Kitchin the compromise contemplates passage through the House next week of the bill suggested by Senator Gore with an amendment that would ter minate the Government's activities in the shipping business two years after the close of the European war, De spite President Wilson's announced determination to stand by the Senate bill in its present form, Representa tive Kitchin said House ieaders, anx ious to avoid an extra session, pro posed to put this measure before the Senate and give the President an op portunity to accept it in the event of the failure of the pending bill. The desire of both Republicans and Democrats to avoid an extra session, Representative Kitchin thought, prob ably would give the proposed plan sufficient support to get it through before March 4. DACiA FiNALLY SAtLS. Expects to Be Captured During Voy age Across Seas. Norfolk, Va.—The American steam 3r Dacia flnaiiy sailed with her cargo of cotton for Germany, which goes via Rotterdam. Great Britain has threatened to size the ship, questioning her trans fer from Germany registry and she aiready has been the subjecct diplo matic correspondence between the United States and Great Britain. It generaiiy is expected a British cruis er wiii take her somewhere before she arrives in European waters, and that the case wiii be fought out in a prize court. Germany Needs More Money. London.—Germany financiers have been summoned to a conference in Beriin with the finance minister who considers that a new ioan of $1,200, 500 is required for the continuance of the war, says an American dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph. It is hop ed that a large portion of this loan, the message adds, wiii be subscribed by the Krupps and other leading Ger man firms in exchange for new army contracts. , Disasterous Exptosion at Ashveiiie. * Ashevilie, N. C.—Bart Orr and J. W. McAvoy were probably fataiiy in jured and the three-story building of the Enterprise Machine Company was particaiiy wrecked here by the explo sion of an acetylene gas tank. The explosion occurred on the top Boor of the buiiding. Pieces of the tank pen etrated two brick wails several hun dred feet away. Give More War News. London.—The government has cap itulated at last to the insistent demand for more news from the front.

Germans Transfer Many Troops From Russian Poiand to East Prussia to Meet Russians. London—Germany's threatened sub marine blockade of the waters around the British Isies and France and the question of the use of neutrai Bags by merchant ships belonging to bellig erents continued to overshadow in the pubiic mind in Engiand and in the neutrai countries of Europe the news from the theaters of war. Greece has replied to the German memorandum to the effect that she expects Greek ships to be protected by the regulations governing naviga tion on the high seas and coasts not effectively blockaded, while Holland an the Scandinavian coasts are tak ing steps for joint action. The Amer ican steamer Wilhelmina, with grain aboard for Hamburg has arrived at Faimouth. It was thought possible she had been ordered there by one of the British patrolships as the British government had announced it intend ed to prevent her from proceeding to Germany and would submit the ques tion of her cargo to a prize court. A Faimouth dispatch, however, says the captain of the Wilhelmina declared he had proceeded to that port of his own free will. In the east the Germans, checked in their efforts to break the Russian lines before Warsaw, have transferred many troops to East Prussia to meet the Russian offensive there. This of fensive threatens to drive a wedge be tween Tilsit and Insterburg, and so to turn the fortified position in the ex tremely difficult country of the Ma zurian lakes. St)]) )n Session. Washington.—Formal notice in writ ing that he wonid seek a cioture amendment to the Senate rules to end debate on the Administration shipping biii at 2 p. m., February 19 and cause a (inai vote to be taken three hours later, was given by Senator Reed when the Senate had been in continu ous session for more than 36 hours.

However Knowledge That Such a Fund. Exisited Was Benehctal, The Board Declares. Washington. — Loans under the $135-000,000 fund pian has been closed and the pian virtuaiiy ended its ex istence with an anouncement from the Centra! Committee—that Federai Re serve Board acting as individuals— that subscriptions probabiy would not be calied for. Applications amounted to only $28,000 and this was not ob tained from the fund, but elsewhere on notes and collateral offered with the applications. Subscribers, the Centra! Committee point out, have not been released from liability for their proportionate share of the $28,000 but if all the loans are paid, subscriptions wiii not be needed. The announcement says that sub scriptions aggregated $101,036,100 from 487 banks, 185 firms and 17 in dividuals, ranging from $100 to $5, 000,000 and representing 64 cities in 19 states and the District of Co lumbia. "The beneficial effects of the fund," says the anouncement, "are not to be measured by the small amounts actually loaned. Its benefits consisted largely in the public knowledge that there was a source of assistance whcih could be confidently looked to and availed of. When the organisa tion of the cotton loan fund was un dertaken, the exchanges were closed fixed quotations for cotton were un obtainable, demand for staplo was light and sales were being made in some instances at prices as low as five cents a pound. The buying move ment which set in foiiowng ithe entab hshment of this fund has carried prices up to eight cents and exports since December 1, have exceeded those of same period of year ago.

FATE OF SH!PB!LL DOUBTFUL Gemoerata Discuss Severs) Plana But it Is GeneraMy Beiisved BUI Can not Ba Brought to a Vota. Washington. — Republicans and Democratic insurgents fighting - the Government ship biii, with the aid of Senators Norris and Kenyon, Progres iive Republicans who have supported he measure, forced the Senate to ad journ after the longest continuous 3ess)on in its history. Debate had lasted 54 hours and 11 minutes. This made more uncertain than ever the fate of the biii which the Administration has pressed so urgent ly on Congress. Many members of both houses concluded that an extra session seemed inevitabie. There were some, however, who still hoped there yet might be time to dispose of appropriation biiis and the ship-pur chase measure in some form before March 4. Adjournment came on a motion made by Senator O'Qorman, carried 48 to 4& after SenatOT Norris, deplor ing the filibuster, had proclaimed his conclusion that opponents of the bill could filibuster it to deRth. Though disappointed over the loss of support from the Progressive Re publicans, Administration leaders of the Senate would ndt admit the cause was lost. Anticipating a break in the Senate, President Wilson had conferr ed throughout the day with House leaders on plans to get the bill before the House and such a course may be taken, though Senate Republicans in sist their fight will continue until the end of the session no matter what the Administration forces may accomplish in the House. Insurgent Democrats led by Senator Hardwick, sought a compromise with their colleagues by which the party could be united in a renewed effort to pass the bill. The plan suggested was that the warring Democrats hold a conference after their commitment of the bill. Some of the insurgents then would propose that the bill be amended to provide that the proposed Government ship-purchase enterprise should terminate at a stated period after the close of the European war, and that purchase of interned ships of belligerents be prohibited. orttra ac.c.!\ oAsrctT r<na<.

Turn the rascals out—the l^pkd^chs biliousness, indigestion, the sick, M stomach and foui gases—turn the: out to-night and keep them out wit Cascarets. Millions of men and women take a Cascaret now and then and nerer know the misery caused by a lazy liver, clogged bowels or an upset stom ach. Don't put in another day of distress. Let Cascarets cleanse your stomach: remove the sour, fermenting food; take the excess bile from your liver and carry out all the constipated waste matter and poison in the bowels. Then you will feel great. A Cascaret to-night straightens you out by morning. They work while you sleep. A 10-cent box from any drug store means a clear head, sweet stomach and clean, healthy liver and bowel action for months. Chil dren love Cascarets because they never gripe or sicken. Adv. WHEN KtDNEYS ACT BAD TAKE GLASS OF SALTS Eat Leas Meat if Kidneys Hurt or You Have Backache or Biadder Misery —Meat Forma Uric Acid. No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by Hush ing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which clogs the kidney pores so they sluggishly alter or strain only part of the waste and poisons from the blood, then you get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trou ble, nervousness, constipation, dizzi ness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders come from sluggish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts, or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or at tended by a sensation of scalding, get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any* reliable pharmacy and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water be fore breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act Hne. This fa mous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and has been used for genera tions to Hush clogged kidneyB and stimulate them to activity, also to neu tralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot injure; makes a delightful efferves cent lithia water drink which all reg ular meat eaters should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and the blood pure, thereby avoiding se rious kidney complications.—Adv. Marker for a Funeral. Matt Hogan was making a collec tion to meet funeral expenses for one of the fraternity who had died sud denly and penniless. He asked Hve dollars from each contributor, a typi cal "tinhorn" came along and said. "Put me down for Hve." "Where's the money?" asked Matt.—< "I'll give it to you later." "What are you trying to do?" de manded Hogan sharply, "put in a marker to help bury a dead man?" ASHAMED OF HER BAD COMPLEX!OM Many a nice, and otherwise attrac tive, girl is a social failure because of her poor complexion.
