The decision; by President ;Wil-

Great Britain was reached a;,fe,w
days ago after Representative
Webb, chairman of the house jud
iciary committee, had made strong
representations to Presieentl WiK
son as to the injustice of the Brit-J
ish interference with American
shipping to neutral ports. Itis'iin
derstood that Mr. Webb told the
President that the Americans peo

from Germany and England. HeJ
intimated that they would not be
satisfied unless England was ; alsa
forced to observe international
law. - - -
Ambassador Rice is said to have
strongly intimated to Secretary
Lansing today that under the "few
.land, Denmark, Norway aud
Sweden will be given safe transit
and will not be held up or detrain
ed in British ports. If this is done
it will have a good effect oa cot
ton prices. The unwarrantable
detention oj American cargoes, it
is claimed, has seriously depressed
the price of cotton and practically
made it impossible for our cargoes
to reach a market.
Another Hupmobile Captured.
On Wednesday morning Sheriff
Thompson, R. W. Morris and R.
H- Gates went out and took a
look for the automobile which
broke down a few miles west of
town. This machine was reported
to have been loaded with liquor
and by some one was unloaded,
the liquor being captured the ev
ening before. During the night,
Tuesday the machine was hauled
off with horses, but the posse took
up the trail Wednesday morning
and found it in the woods in the
rear of an old colored man's house,
Jordan Bailey. The owners evi
dently were making an effort to
get it back to Virgilina, Va., but
found the towing too difficult,
hence had to give up the job. ; It
was brought to town and lodged
in the FreelaLd-Bradsher ' Motor
garage, along with the two- other
machines.

affair for. the Russians, as it is re

Berlin claims the French suffer

German submarines accounted
for another big British freight
steamer today the Hopemount, of
3,300 tons, being torpedoed off
Saint Ives, England. The crew
was saved. Another British steam

struck a mine in the White sea
and sank, while bound for Arch
angel. The French schooner Dia
mant also has been torpedoed by
a German submarine off Pendine,
Wales.
The full returns of the Greek
elections are not yet available, but
the triumph certain. The continu

prevent the victory of M. Venize-

party from having any immediate
results.
Great Britain, which had brac
