If adopted, will re move from us the blessings of peace, and plungre us Into active conflict with our brothers across the ocean, It is .well to review shortly and concisely Dor position, so that no man may Y9 . Ignorant of the causes that have led ibis peace loving nation to t Brow down the gauntlet and enter the arena vhence there can be no retreat until ur cause Is vindicated. If Congress decides to declare war with Germany, Austria and Turney, Jt will not be a declaration predicted ipon any desire for territorial expas ion or monetary indemnity (other than just compensation for destruc tion of life and property alroidy in curred) but for the establishing upon Arm and lasting basis of untraii reeled right to the freedom of the soas, excepting, of ciiune, that por tion of the sea where a blockade hai been successfully estbli&hed by war tag nations. Germany has Ignored International Jaw In our case just eg she did in the ase of Belgium. She Tcnows out f.tand Is just end right; but the only argumentt that appeals to Prussian autocratic despotism is the law ot Might and. force. Oar cause therefor Is themaln; nance of a great principle; and for the maintenance of this principle we count the cost In blood and troasuie There are underlying principles al so Involved, which we have not made fundamentals In our quarrel. Hut they are nevertheless groat principles and their vindication will follow in natural sequence. They comprise the freedom of the German people them e elves from the iron heel of Prussian mtocracy and the re-establishment of tne sacredness of contract whether It be parole contract, or a "scrap of paper." We are under no illusions as to the seriousness of war. We have had ttan to think it over, and we enter It if we do coldly, calmly and dispaasion ately; and at this serious Juncture we appeal to every citizen of Rock ingham county to stand firmly behind our government; to give waiy to no outward sign of hysteria; to be char itable and kind to such of our people as stJII retain any feelings of sym pathy towards the Central powers, and to aid In repressing any tendency on the part of the unbalanced ayi foolish seekers after notoriety toward undue activity of a senseless and em harrassing nature. In the midst of our national trial, let js steadily maintain that stoloal re serve, and sensible demeanor, that l ever the characteristic of the Anglo Saxon, giving offence to none, and ab rogating to ourselves no authoriry other than is vested In every patriot ic American and doing it then in a manner In keeping with our Christian civilization. fpd f fAllnrJ'j Nypft Berlin Dispatch Dilates on "R.v.U- tions" of "Illicit Traffic." Prussian vigilance has not been 'able thus fur to suppress much illicit traf fic In farm products, which is being carried on In devious ways In the ru ral environments of Berlin. In the course of revelations which have been made involving country landlords who hud been doing a prof itable business In eggs and bacon It wag discovered that James W. Gerard, American ambassador, paid farmers In the vicinity of his bunting grounds 75 pfennigs for eggs. As the mark stands today that would be a trifle over 12 cents each. The man who speaks softly and pays a big price has had little difficulty In discovering farm sources where he has been served readily with delicacies not available In his markets In town. This species of shopping, however, Is now being discouraged effectively through confiscation of food packages arriving at local railway stations. Mr. Gerard's price for eggs was not the high water mark, A woman who presides over an estate in the vicinity of Iierlln admitted in a private letter, of which a local paper obtained posses sion, that she received an offer of $2 a dozen for eggs. - - marks the awakening of nature from its long winters sleep, the reclothing of the sombre fields and forests in becom ing raiment.
