FRIDAY, SEPT. 4 1914 The friends of good government will note with pleasure that Washington's number1 of grog shops will be reduced ; from 500 to 300, effective November 1st. The "wide open town" which has prevailed in Washington for so many years has been a blot to the nation's capital city, and much pressure has been brought to have the houses of vice and saloons restricted. 'Wealthy Belgians are .being called on to "divvy" up and pay Germany for having come over into their homes and destroyed many of their cherish ed landmarks. If they don't pay up promptly they aie confronted with the probability of further 'destruction. Such is war. It is still-i barbarous, and, the wcrd'civiliied" ba'd no place ; in the'same article. '. Most of the powers did not sign a proposed convention at The Hague against dropping aerat bombs upon towns. . They took the position that this was simply a new form of bom : bardment. ,. But the next convention ' drawn up at The Hague should in clude such a prohibition, possibly with some narrow exceptions. French airmen would have ao excuse for dropping bombs upon Nuremberg and Coblenz, or German airmen more re ' cently for dropping bombs upon Ant- vwerp and Paris, il this were the recog .;: sued rule. . As we see it, trance and Seria are the only nations that were compelled to fight. , Austria deliberately,' and as we think without cause, declared war ori Serbia, : and hurled her armies ; against that little" covntry almost with-rr.- out warrtfog. """ AteerGermany declared' war on. JRussia and immediately ordered " three powerful armies to advance on Paris. The German' armies invaded - - Belgium on their way to Paris before v waj" had been declared either between -'France, and Germany or Belgium and , Germany. This "explains why .the sympathies of so many Americans are with. France in this great conflict. And .then too, Americans cannot forget ':, how the French came 4o the aid of the thirteen struggling colonies in the days . were darker for us than these days ; 'are for France. -. .- ANOTHER BIG DAY.

Bryan Broadfoot, a midshipman at Annapolis, is in this city visiting his uncle, Judge Henry R. Bryan. Mr, Broadfoot has jUs returned from Euro pean ports,' having made the trip on board of the U. S. S. Idaho which was recently- sold to Greece,' and since his arrival in the city yesterday he has been busily engaged in giving descriptions of the voyage and of the. exciting con ditions n Europe. In an interv.ew g.ven a newspaper man, Mr. Bryan said . "We sailed from Hampton Roads, Va on June ,2, and went to Ville franche where we anchored and the men were allowed" shore leav& iWe were at that. - place when war was de clared and the citizens went wild with enthusiasm, r One thing that impressed me most forcibly': was the manner in which the Frenchmen were celebrat ing the declaration. ' I remember one instance in particular' where ' a party had tied an American and a French flag together and were parading" the streets with this, alt the While, shouting and singing the Marseillaise. "After the war was delcared the com mander of the ship called' in all the men from shore-leave and they were mot again fallowed to go . shore. There' were several Americans at that point who wanted to return,, with us but the commander was averse to this. At' Villefranche we turned the Idaho over to the Gieeks and went aboard- the U, S. S. Maine for the voyage back to the United States. "Leaving Villefranche we sailed to' Morocco where we had intended tak ingfon. supplies for the ship. However, the inhabitants there were averse to selling us anything. The crew and offi cers of the ship had been accustomed to purchasing various" strides at the ports they-V visited bur at Morocco they met with complete disappoint- meht, Not only .could they not makeflars. any purchases but ft Wai .Chard mat ter to secure food supplies for "the ship. Fron Morocco we , went -to Gibralter, where -we spent six days. "At Gibraltar we were scheduled to7 take on coal and upon YJur. arrival there we found three French transports. The French did pot wan d' let us , have coal but as the United States govern ment had already cdntractedjand paid for the fuel there ws'.'nckhirigj'lef for therri to do but to tMw' UstO fill -the bunkers with the. amount jthich they allowed us to carry awayr..,.. , "Aj.

Mo- bley of Atlanta, who arrived in Winston- Salem yesterday morning with,- a view to inflentifying the body if possible, received a telegram" yesterday, from Columb'us, &a., stating that Mr. Chas. Mobley is there, and that he is getting along all right. 'S-.''v' The locating of Mr! 'Mobley elimi; nates all -now that have been thought to have been the victiin'of "the .tragedy at Muddy Creek for the opinion : of suicide ' Is no longer )held in view ;of later developments in the case. Mr. Robert F,:. Mobley, who is mana ger of : tailoring concern in Atlanta, arrived in this fcity yesterday , morning and viewed the body at Vogler's-S; He . - u , . -.',, . t . . was unaoie ro rem wnetner or not tne body was1 that of his brother although there ,ifcere a number of, things, ;, that caused Kim- to think- that it might ibe . He stated, 'however,, that he has not been with Jis 'brother very ; much re cently?; He declared that his brother had a crown on one of his teeth that coul4 hot have feeen niore than a . fracr-: tioh.of an inch from the place where the crown was found in the dead man's mouthf - .The size of the man also cor responded to that of his brother.

It is in such a condi tion that it makes accurate identifica tiqn.dimcult. ; - - : . The finding of several large iron weights at the. point in Muddy Creek from -which the body, was taken indi cates - that : several people were impli cated in the murder for that is what it is now Considered to be. - - - The weights were found by Mr. J. N Crater who lives near the scene of the crime. One of thtm was a drawhead from a railroad car., It is a large piece of iron, and a rope, apparently 4 part of the rope that was tied to the dead man's neck, was run through a hole in the drawhead. A smaller weight- was also found. i; , - ; v . Both of them1' were brought to the city, and are now in Sheriff Flynt's of fice at the court' house.' ' With the weights attachedvto it, the body never would have risen to ' the surface, but the "rope probably totted ',in '. two or became severed in some other way; The theory is now being advanced that the body had been in the stream for a much longer period of time than had at first been thought. - The body might have been in the stream for months.
