JUNE 1. 1815 One of the evangelist who has been endeavoring to hummer religion into the congealed craniumus of the mor ally atunted in this city, is responsi ble for the statement that much of the immorality committed in this present day is due to the immodest dressing of some of the feminine sex. This assertion is without doubt tree. Some of the costumes that one aees on the streets of this and other cities were without doubt designed n the devil's workshop. Woe be unto the automobile driver in New Bern who does not adhere to the law regulating the operating of these motor driven machines. The local police are determined to en force these laws, irrespective of whom the party driving the machine shall be, and the best way to keep out of police court now, will be to drive slowly and to blow the horn before turning corners. Germany has assumed a sort of an loh Gabbible attitude in regard to the demands of this country re lative to ceasing her warfare against the ships of neutral nations. In so doing the Teutons are violating all agreements of the Hague treaty and are outlawing themselves in the eyes of the world and it is little won der that Germany has so many en emies and that sentiment is almost universally against her. Those New Bernians, and they are legion, who have taken 'em off, doubtless thought seriously yester day of, Editor Brittan's admonition to wait until June 1st. before shed ding 'em. Pipes the Paragrapher on the Wash ington News: "Our humorous bro ther of the New Bern Journal also cornea across with the following: "The Paragrapher on the Greens boro News yesterday saw tit to rave about the 'Garden of Glorious Girls,' meaning of course the beauteous bevy of belles out at the State Normal, but land sakes. be should come down this way where we don't stop with a garden of them, but have that par ticular variety as numerous as the sand on the seashore." "And when they get through with the Greensboro man at New Bern, we wish they'd send him over here to Washington where we'll guaran tee to show him several specimens that neither New Bern or Greensboro can touch." Well, we know that there are quite a few delicious damsels over in Wash ington but when it comes to out classing any of the local specimens, why we are from Missouri. Referring to the Journal's ability as a peacemaker, the esteemed Wash ington News has the following time ly remarks: "The Washington News and the Greenville Reflector are hav ing a tilt over the question of which print the most local news. Careful perusal of both papers has convinced us that each covers the local field in a most thorough manner and we beg them to desist in the word-war and at least be neutral." comments the New Bern Journal. "Far he ft frOm as to indulge in any word war. We think too much of our esteemed contemporary at Green ville. Jut the ame you'll have to admit that the Journal i right there as a peacemaker." We don't claim to be the official keeper of the dove of peace but whenever we see two of our moil influential Eastern Carolina paper scrapping, we always jump in and do the William Jennings Bryan stunt. The Snim Hill Square Deal, one of Eastern Carolina's breezy weeklies, comes out this week in enlarged form; a special edition, and It is traly creditable Contained in the issue are many interesting feets re lative to that section and a wealth of other information Brother Jones is to be congratulated npon I he -asjiat paper be Is making of the Square Deal.

SHIP Ambassador Page Secures Facts Relative to Dam age to Nebraskan STILL SOME DOUBT Ship May Not Have Been Torpedoed but Struck A Mine Washington, May 27 The report of Ambassador Pafe of the Ameri can steamer Nebraskan. damaged off the coast of Ireland, was laid before President Wilson today. It came to the state department by cable last night and work of deciphering it was begun immediately. No intimation a- to the contents of the report a; gien pending its review by the president. Adminis tration officials still awaited with unusual interest today authentic ad vices as to how the Nebr&skan was damaged. The British admiralty reported that the ship had been tor pedoed, but the captain's report to the owners indicated a doubt as tc whether she had been struck by a torpedo or a mine. Message.! received by the state de partment today from Ambassador Page and Consul-General Skinner at London and Consul Fro-t at Queens town failed to ay definitely whether the fteame: Nebra kan had beep torpedoed or had stiuck a mine. One oi the dispatches said the Ne brakan's American fag had been hauled down five minutts btiorc sh. was struck, although her name wa painted on hei side? in letter.-" six f( et high. Another Bepot Washington, May J7 The state department today received a long dispatch from Cotinsul-General Skin ner at London legarding the Nebras kan accident. The report indicated that the ship was mined and not torpedoed, as the Admiralty st ated. Captain Green of the Nebraskan wired Consul-General Skinner that the "ship experienced a violent shock followed instantly by a terrific explo sion and bursting hatches." He said the fag had been hauled down five minutes before, but that the steam er's name was painted on both sides in letters six feet high. He said he "had had no warning and saw noth ing." Ambassador Page at London noti fied the state department that he had sent the naval attache at Liverpool to examine the Nebraskan. KING EMANUEL NOW IN COMMAND Home, May 27. King Victor Em manuel, on taking supreme com mand of the Italian army and navy, issued the following order: "Soldiers on land and sea: The solemn hour of the nation's claims has struck. Following the example of my grandfather, I take today su preme command of Italy's forces on land and sea with the assurance of victory which your bravery, self-abnegation and discipline will obtain. "The enemy you are preparing to fight is hardened to war and wor thy of you. Favored by the nature of the ground and skillful works, he will resist tenaciously, but your un subdued ardor will surely vanquish him. "Soldiers, to you have come the glory of unfurling Italy's colors on the sacred lands which nature has given as the frontiers of our country.

HERE'S NEW PLACE FOR BOOZE ORDERS Over in Raleigh the Natives Put Them in Fire Alarm Boxes Raleigh, May 27 An order for "fire water" in a "fire box" is a novel thing. Yet, one was found there. The storv comes from a member of the Raleigh Fire Department thai recently while he was testing a fire, alarm box he found inside a letter addressed to a well known whiskey house. Inside the letter was a money order for two dollars to be used as payment for a gallon of liquor that was ordered before the guarl-a fortnight law went into effect. It is said that when the trash cans on Fayetteville street were new there were i nstancea where persons posted letters in them, and some went so far as to put their laundry packages in these receptacles, thinking that the laundries had adopted a new modern method for collecting from the general public, To post a letter containing a mon ey order in a fire alarm box, how ever, is quite an innovation.
