IMPERIAL CHANCELLOR REPEATS THAT THAT GOVERNMENT CANNOT DECLARE PEACE TERMS. According to Berlin newspapers the carman Chancellor, Dr. Von Beth- ma un-Hollweg, said to members of the Reichstag: "I repeat that the formula of peacte without annexations is unacceptable to us. We cannot de ,i.,r nnr terms of peace. We must v v- " - fiht. to conauer," The Chancllor made a strong at tack on Mathias Erzbergier, leader of the Catholic Center, who assailed the Pan-Germans in his address before thp main committee last week and advocated peace without anneyations or indemnities. Dr. Von Bethmann Hollweg said Herr Erzberger's atti tude was unpatriotic. Charcellor Von Bethmann-Hollweg made a speech to the Reichstag main committee but according to Informa tion reaching London did not succeed iu quieting his critics. A Berlin dis patch to the Cologne Gazettee, as cabled from Amsterdam by Central News, says that after the Chancellor made his address Mathias Erzberger, the Centrist leader, declared that the debate had strengthened his convic tion that the whole situation required energetic action by the Reichstag. He combated violently the claims of the Pan-Germans and other annexa tionists. A German wireless dispatch says that at Monday's meeting of the Reich stag Main committee the submarine activity was unanimously recognized as "an activity which had surpassed all expectations."

CHE NEWS IN BEIE1T t SINCE OUR LAST ISSUE Senator Sherman of Illinois says the riots at East St. Louis were due 'j the saloons; that it Is the worst saloon town in America and the sa loons have for years disregarded the law. Cigarettes have beten barred from the United States naval training sta tion at Great Lakes, 111. It is said that because of the largo number of youths and young men in training on tine reservation, it was deemed ad visable to restrict their smoking to other forms of tobacco. Two American ships in three days have been the Gcrainn submarine toll against United States merchant ship ping this week. The Orleans was re ported sunk on Monday. Wednesday the American-Hawaiian liner Kansan was sent to the bottom with a report ed loss of four lives. A revised list of the casualties) in Saturday's air raid in Londqn is of ficially announced as follows: Killed in the metropolitan area: 29 men, 6 women,5 5 children; injured 98 men, 44 wonien and 52 children. In Thanet Island: Killed 1 man; 2 women; in jured 2 women, 1 child. Cash bequests of more than $ 7, 000,000 to charitable and educational institutions are provided in will of Colonel Oliver H. Payne, who died in New York recently,' The largest gifts are to Lakeside hospital, Cleveland, O.; Yale university, and New York public library, each of which will re ceive $1,000,000. The plan for the unification of the three great branches of the Lutheran Church Into , the United Lutheran Church in America was recommended by the committee on constitutional re. vision of the general council of the Lutheran Church in North America, at the close of a two-day debate at Atlantic City, N. J. Members of the Socialist party In the United States have approved by an overwhelming majority the.state ment of the party's opposition to the war with Germany, submitted by the majority of the committee on the war and militarism appointed by the St. Louis convention last April. The votle was 21,639 in oppossltion to war, to 2,752 for war. In a general order issued to the American troops in France, Gen. Pershing says f "The good name of the United States of America and the mninienacfi of cordial relations re- quire the perfect deportment of ach " member of this command. It is or tne irravest importance that the soldiers of the American army shaU at a11 times treat thte French people, and es pecially the women, with the greatest courtesy and consideration." A dispatch from New Orleans says that Henry Hawkins, former negro slave owned by the family of General Zachary Taylor, died there last week at the age of 98. In 1846 he accompanied General Taylor as a servant during the war with Mexico and .since that time has been cared for by descendants of the former President. He was buried in a tomb by Richard Taylor, a Confederate general and son of General Zachary Taylor. The American barkentlnte Hildegard, 622 tons has been sunk; the crew land ed uninjured. The Hildegard was bound from Havre for St. Thomas, West Indies, and was attacked while becalmed. The submarine fired six shots without hitting the vessel; then the crew of the American craft took to the boats. The submarine ap proached and towed the boat back to the Hildegard, which she sank with bombs. The Germans told the Amer. leans to row for their lives, as they were about to attack another American vessel which was expected along shortly. Secretary Baker himself will draw the numbers which tell who is to be drafted. He announced this following a long conference with President Wil son at the White House, during which final plans for the actual draw ing were discussed. If he himself does not officiate he made it plain that one of the highest officials of the government would. The secretary denied a report printed this morning that Presidnt Wilson will draw the first number. He asserted that great care would be taken to have a man high in the administration councils in actual charge of the drawing. The government is taking good care that there shall be no criticism of the draft which might result from slipshod meth ods of drawing. Sew about your tor KrJpUoat i iim iTTTir n " isItod Tuesdays and raDAYB iViLL MEXICO ENTER THE WORLD SCRAP? 1 i WISH MEXICO TO REMAIN NEU-j TAL. IF CARRANZA REPUBLIC BREAK WITH GERMANY, IT WILL BE OF HER OWN ACCORD. NOT FAVORED HERE. Reports that Mexico Is about to break with Germany led to the author itative statement today that any such move would not be based on advice given by the American government. It was stated that no suggestion of an active endorsement of the posi tion of the United States has gone to Mexico City from Washington, except the general note addrtessed to all neu tral governments upon the rupture of relations with Germany in March. It was made clear that while the Ameri can government would welcome a fHonrtllfir attitude by Mexico, many high officials believe the best inter ests of most of the nations concern ed will be served if the Southern re public maintains neutrality. Ambassador Fletcher, who came here to report in detail to Secretary Lansing on conditions in Mexico, has told the State Department that de spite some improvement in Mexican affairs generally, much remains to cause concern to the American govern ment. This circumstance is consider ed Important because a break with Germany would give Mexico an oppor tunity to get money and place the Uni ted States under ctertain obligations. Those officials who have hot yet been eager to see Mexico Join in the war do not object to seeing General Carranza supplied with money but they believe that without contributing much real aid to the allies, Mexico would make it hard for the United States, France, Germany, Great Brit ain and other nations with grievances against her to assume a stern attitude after the war. Washington Special, Cigarette Production Using the figures from the Internal Revenue offices of the country, it is shown that the growth in the produc tion and consumption of cigarettes Is something wonderful, and this is of mportance to the tobacco growlers of Virginia and the Carolinas, for these States the bulk of the leaf tobacco that goes into the making of cigar ettes is grown. The sales oi me "- .. smokers in this country alone dur- . tv,Q mnh nt Mav show an In I ah. " . crease of about 50 per cent, over the same month of last year. About i,- 000,000,000 more cigarettes were sold 1 duringthe first quarter of this year than for the same period of last year. A maintaining of this rate of gain throguh the whole year would bring the total American production and sale to more than 35,000,000,000. In the fiscal year ending June 30, a lit tle less than 15,000,000,000 cigarettes were made and sold. The next fiscal year they jumped to over 21,000,000, 000, and the production is still in creasing at a rapid rate. The manu fcturers and dealers do not believe the doubling of the tax which is pro posed by the Government will de crease the consumption in the least. On the contrary, they look for increas ed consumption in these war times. And all of this makes things look well for the growers of the Virginia and Carolina bright leaf, from which the cigarette is made. Times-Dispatch. Urgent pleas to be sent to Fiance to Join the American forces in France are being made by three thou and Hawaiian militiamen, according to. .J. Kuhio Kalianaole, the Hawaiian dele gate in Congress, who is urging favor able action by the war department. The question of food supply, it is said enter into the problem of what dis position is to be made of the Hawai ian forces, for Hawaii Is looked to furnish much of the United States' sugar and rice needs. "Our men want to get into the fight right away," said Mr. Kalianaole, who expressed the hope the department would imme diately order the militiamen into the federal service. Mother Knew 'Em. Applicant "You see, mum, beln's as ow Hi 'ave been a-takin' keer of chil dren all me life, Hi knows Just 'ow to handle 'em." Mrs. Of de nouse (with a smile) "I anticipate then, that you will have a howling success with mine, Mary." - ; .. - V"'- The sinking of fourteen British merchantmen of more than 1,600 tons Is reported In the summary of ship ping losses. Three merchantmen of less than 1,600 tons and seven fish ing vessels also were sunk. HAPPENINGS IN THE OLD NORTH STATE The anuual convention of the North Carolina Association of Insur ance Agents is in session in Ashe ville. Members of the North Carolina division of United Confederate Vet erans will hold their annual reunion in Durham August 23. The reunion will be held in Durham in honor of Gennral Carr. ' It is stated that 12 white and 9 ne gro convicts have made good their escape from the Buncombe county convict forces .since last November and the solicitor has decided to see if there Isn't a reason. Advices received from the War De partment states that North Carolina will be credited against the draft with 1,003 men who enlisted in the regular army between April 20 and June 2nd, What credit will be allowed for men enlisting in the National Guard has not been announced, but It is certain that the number will be greatly in ex cess of that of the regular army, Solicitor Swaim of Asheville has asked Attorney General Manning to take up with the War Department the question, of bringing 14 members of the National Guard engineers of Charlotte back to Buncombe county for trial in connection with the re lease of two members of the company from prison at Black . Mountain re cently. Governor Bickett granted a pardon for Robert I. Creed, Surry county, who served fifteen months of a two and a half year sentence to the State prison for betrayal of a woman to whom he (had promised marriagie. Creed was only seventeen yeara old when sentenced and the woman was twenty years old. The Governor opines that fifteen months is enough punishment for the seventeen-year-old boy when the woman in the case was twenty. i ("Governor BIcket has telegraphed the Secretary of War urging the Na tional Guardsmen awaiting muster In to Federal service be given tempor ary employent at the wage being paid to civilians in the constrctuion of con centration camps and cantonments He believes there are hundreds of Guardsmen who would be glad to get this work while they are waiting for the order into war service and that it would .stop a lot of the dangerous drain that Is being made on other in dustries in the attraction of laborers from other industries. The Farmer Doing His Part Those who are fearful that the far mer might fail to his duty by the country are now reassured. He is unloading upon the people a crop of corn estimated at three billion bu shels, which is by far the largest corn crop this country has ever known, while the Irish potato crop Is likewise a record-breaker, being 452,000,000 bu xhels, or 32,000,000 bushels more than the great crop of 1912. These are but items in a general crop of over six billion bushels of principal food staples. There will be a notable sru plus over previous crops in wheat and oats, in rye and barley, in rice and dweet potatoes, and in connection with this there must be taken into account the greatest gardening and trucking results in the history of the Nation. The farmer i3 doing his part in taking care pC, th people. Charlotte Observ-er.-'- ' Troop Movement Expectations. General Wood, who ought to know the military program, it anybody does, has stated that the troops in the Southern regiments In his depart ment "will go to France In Novem ber." This is taken to indicate that the troops in the North and West are to be sent previous to that time. When he speaks of the Southern troops going In November he means the troops now in the training camps, and "when these troops take their places in the French trench es," says the general, "the Kaiser will know that we intend to do our best." Charlotte Observer. A Solutic-n Greensboro is torn by Internal dis sension.lt is being pulled this way and that by questions mightier than the war. There is a fight over hog pens; there ia a disturbance over the elec tion of a school superintendent; a job has been created for a Socialist, and the former manager of the municipal theater has been ejected . The only thing necessary to the full gaiety of the Nation Is the ringing in of an agitation of the new depot and un derpass situation. Charlotte Obser ver. "'" :!. rnn m n i rUKniCK KtlUoVILUHN ABLE TO ATTEND TRIAL SUPT. ALLEN TO BE PAID $4,500 BY HIS ASSAILANT J. E, EF FIRD PLEADS GUILTY TO AS SAULT AND BATTERY WITH A DEADLY WEAPON UPON HIM. A special from Monroe says: The case of the State against J. E. Eftird, of this city, charged with as sault upon the highway with a deadly weapon with the intent to kill Prof, it. W. Allen on the morning of June 15, was concluded here this afternoon whnn Mr. Eflird submitted to a charge of assault and battery with a deadly instrument and was fined by th re- corder in the sum of $250 and cuotn m the case. In submitting to the -vii-.-ij Mr. Eflird agreed to make reparation for his deed by paying Professor Al len the sum of $5,500. The case has been on trial since eafly Tuesday morning before W. J. Pratt, recorder. The couthouse at all times has not accommodated the spectators with seats, many ladies at tending the sessions. It has created more interest owing to the prominence of the parties involved and as to the character and cause of the assault than any case ever heard in Union county. Representing the defendant in the case were John J. Parker and W. B. Love of the local bar, and E. T. Cansler Of Charlotte. Assisting Prosecuting Attorney It. L. Stevens was City Attorney J. C. M. Vann and Frank Aarmfleld of Monroe; James H. Pou of Raltigh, and T. L. Caudle, of Wadesboro. AftPrthn dfsnositlon of the case Mr. Pou spoke to the vast assemblage of eople in the courthouse on the various phases of the war and the existing con- tions in the countries Involved there- in for more than an hour and so ef- fective and forceful were his words that a pin could have been heard, at any time during his speech except at! intervals when, he was loudly cheered, LEAKSVILLE MAN WILL AID GOVERNMENT THIS SUMMER Dr. Aithur B. Ray, associate pro fessor of chemical engineering at the Agricultural and Mechanical college, of Texas, who ha.s been spending a few days in Charlotte with bis fath er, B. W. Ray, will serve the United States government during the summer vacation by doing research work per taining to problems of gas warfare. Doctor Ray was invited In June by the committee on science and re search of the council of national de fense to do this work. He haa Just received a telegram from Dr. George A. Burwell, director of work on gas es, requesting him to proceed at once to the laboratory of the department of mines, at Washington, "to take up some urgent research work relating to problems of gas warfare." Char lotte Observer. A Heavy Loss Loss to the United States in reve nues and disbursements in acquiring stored whiskey would approximate $020,000,000 a year. Of this amount the Government would sacrifice $420,000,000, which is estimated would be derived from the pending War Revenue Bill, while $200,000,0001 would be necessary to purchase 200,000,00(1 gallons stored, the lowest estimate of $1 a gallon. This $620,000,000 would impose on the citizens of the country an addition al tax at the rate of $6 per capita. It Is estimated that in addition to the cost In the revenues and disburse- ments maae necessary oy me omouc amendment, $750,000,000 Invested In the manufacture, financing and distri bution of distilled spirits would be se riously affected, and in many instan ces sacrificed.. These figures were cited In the Sen ate yesterday during the debate on the liquor feature of the Food Control Bill Washington Special. War-Tlmo Postage. Three-cent first-class letter post age for the United States now ap pears to be fairly on the way, the Senate committee in charge of the revenue bill having agreed to the In crease. This will put letter postage back where it was in the time of the Civil war. During that period, how ever, a two-cent stamp carried a "drop" letter, or a letter posted to be delivered within the local postal district. The Senate committee, how ever, does not agree with the House that the post card rate should be in creased to two cents, yet the post card sender could stand an increase quite as well as the letter writer.
