The address of Dr. Sharpless was a plea for the preservation of the old standards in the educational world and was listened to with the deep-est interest. He said a man educat-ed by the old standards has a bent of mind that will serve him well in every relation of later life. The men who conceived and founded the gov-ernment of the United States re-ceived only that sort of training. In their college days they never dream-ed of attempting to prepare them-selves to found a new government; but their intellectual capacity was so prodigiously developed that they were ready to meet any emergency.

The loss is partially covered by in-surance. A Bold Robbery.—Raymond Fair, a young white man. was arrested shortly before midnight last night a moment after he had broken a plate glass window in Bernau's jewelry store and taken about $150 worth of jewelry.

The British foreign office Friday evening issued a note in reply to the representation of the United States government concerning the use of the American flag by British vessels The note says that the Cunard Line steamer Lusitania on her re-cent voyage from New York to Liv-erpool raised the American flag "to save the lives of non-combatants, crew and passengers." It adds that in spite of the fact that American passengers embarking on the Lusi-tania on her outward voyage for New York asked that the American flag he hoisted, "the British govern-ment did not give any advices to the company as to how to meet this re-quest and, it is understood the Lusi-tania left Liverpool under the Brit-ish flag." After discussing the Lusitania in-cident the memorandum says: "The British government has no intention of advising merchant ship-ping to use foreign flags as a gen-eral practice or to resort to them otherwise than for escaping capture or destruction." In conclusion the statement says: "The obligation on a belligerent warship to ascertain definitely for it-self the nationality and character of a merchant vessel before capturing it and a fortiori (stronger reason) before sinking and destroying it has been universally recognized. If that obligation is fulfilled the hoisting of a neutral flag on board a British vessel cannot possibly endanger neu-tral shipping and the British gov-ernment holds that if loss to neu-trals is caused by disregarding this obligation is it upon the enemy ves-sel disregarding and upon the gov-ernment giving orders that it should be disregarded that the full respon-sibility for injury to neutrals ought to rest. "It is understood that the German government announced their inten-tion of sinking British merchant ves-sels at sight by torpedoes, without .giving any opportunity of making any provision for the saving of lives of non-combatants, crews and pas-sengers. It was in consequence of this .threat that the Lusitania raised the United States flag on her inward voyage. "In regard to the use of foreign flags by merchant vessels, the Brit-ish merchant shipping act makes it plear that the use of the British flag by foreign merchant vessels is per-mitted in time of war for the pur-pose of escaping capture. It is be-lieved that in the case of some other nations there Is similar recognition of the same practice with regard to their flags, and that none has for-bidden it. "The British government has no intention of advising their merchant shipping to use foreign flags as a general practice or to resort to them otherwise than for escaping capture or destruction. The obligation upon a belligerent warship to ascertain definitely for itself the nationality and character of a merchant vessel before capturing it and fortiori be-fore sinking and destroying it has been universally recognized. If that obligation is fulfilled, the hoisting of a neutral flag on board a British ves-sel cannot possibly endanger neutral shipping and the British government holds that if loss to neutrals is caused by disregard of this obliga-tion it is upon the enemy vessel dis-regarded that the sole responsibility for in jury to neutrals ought to rest." A Overman submarine appeared in the Irish'sea Saturday and torpedoed without notice the British coasting steamer Cambank, of 440 tons reg-ister, "three of the crew were killed and a wP-rth was drowned while the men we|e taking to the boats. Excm for the loss of life, the sink-ing of tBJe Cambank was not in itself matter, but the presence rman submarine near the ich the .Atlantic liners take to and from Liverpool and along which many steamers pass daily, is certain to cause uneasiness. The submarine yesterday found another victim in the little Irish coasting steamer Downshire. The pownshlre was sunk not far from the spot where the British steamer Cambank was torpedoed Saturday. The Downshire's crew, however, were given time to escape in their boats, and, instead of wa;sting a tor-pedo, Be. Germans used a bomb. The'submarines up to now have demonstrated their ability to attack only slow steamers or those anchor-ed, as a number of liners have pass- 3d to aqd fro in the Irish sea where the Gerfnan craft have been at work, without being approached. ' The Land Fighting. None of the official reports of the 'and fighting contains important in-formation, although tln-re are big battles In progress near the East Prussian frontier, when; the Rus-sians claim to have stemmed the German' advance; in western G a lien where the Russians have become more active; in the Carpathians, and in Bukowina, where again the Rus-sians have been reinforced and are resisting the Austro-German ad-vance. There seems to be little change in AMERICAN VESSEL BLOWN DP VESSEL CARRYING COTTON SUNK BY MINE IN NORTH SEA. IS The American steamer Evelyn, which sailed from New York Janu-ary 29 with a cotton cargo for Bre-men, was sunk by a mine Saturday off Borkum island, in the North sea. The vessel's captain and 27 of ner ■jrew were saved. The nationality of the mine which destroyed the Evelyn has not been established. The Evelyn is the first American vessel to meet with disaster as a re-sult of a sea warfare of the Euro-pean nations. She did not sink with-in the war zone included in the Ger-man admiralty's decree. Borkum island lies directly off the German coast at the mouth of the Ems river and is German territory. and in the Carpathians, the battle lines remaining about as they were. A big battle is being fought north of the Nadworna-Kolomea line in southeastern Galicia, and according to German correspondents, the Rus-sians have brought up large rein-forcements from Stanislau. The Russian and Turkish forces again have come into touch in the Caucasus, in the Trans-Tchoruk re-gion, bvit the result of -he encoun-ters is not given. 'ihere again has been a slackening in the activity in the west. Dardanelles Bombarded. The British and French fleets bombarded the Dardanelles forts Friday with considerable effect. The bombardment was renewed Saturday with seaplanes and aeroplanes co-op-erating. Besides desiring to bring Turkey to her knees, the allies in their at-tempt to force the Dardanelles aim at an early release of the large stock of wheat which the allies wish to get out. both to relieve the markets and to provide Russia with necessary credit lo pay for war material bought abroad. News Received in Washington. Washington, Feb. 21—The United States government was advised of-ficially tonight of the destruction of the first Amerfcan vessel on the high seas since the outbreak of the Euro-pean war. American Consul Fee at Bremen, cabled that the steamer Evelyn and her cargo of cotton bound for Bremen had been "blown up at Borkum" just off the German coast, and that the crew had been saved. The cause—submarine or mine—was not given in the dispatch. After a conference with President Wilson, Secretary Bryan cabled Am bassador Page at .London and Am-bassador Gerard at Berlin to make an exhaustive inquiry as to the facts, and, if the crew were landed in either of their respective jurisdictions, to furnish every care and convenience to Captain Smith and his men. Although the extent of the sea zones of war proclaimed by Germany was never defined exactly, the Bor-the reJMrve tfosftiona in. West Galiclj^ kum islands are considered far dis- Cargo Held For Prize Court. London, Feb. 10.—Sir Edward Grey, the foreign secretary, an-nounced today that the British gov-ernment has decided that the Amer-ican steamer Wilhelmina's food car-go should be held for-a prize court. This declaration appears to make clear Great Britain's purpose to de-clare all foodstuffs for Germany con-traband as well as to foreshadow other reprisals. The foreign minis-ter, after reviewing the German methods of warfare and denouncing them as violations of all internation-al usegase, says: "If, therefore, his majesty's gov-ernment should hereafter feel con-strained to declare foodstuffs abso-lute contraband or to take other measures for interfering with Ger-man trade by way of reprisals, they confidently expect that such action will not he, challenged on the part "Lazy Husband" Bill Passed. What is known as the "lazy hus-band" bill has been passed by the Indiana state senate without a dis-senting vote. The bill provides: "Every husband who neglects to support his wife and provide her with necessary food, clothing and medical attention, and every person having any boy under the age of 16 years or any girl under the age of 17 years depending upon him or her for education or support who will-fully neglects to furnish the neces-sary food, clothing, shelter and med-ical attention for his or her child shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and on conviction shall be fined any sum not exceeding $500, to which may be added imprisonment in the county jail or workhouse for a pe-riod not exceeding six months." tant from the danger areas of sub marines. The waters of the vicinity and mined for defensive purposes and Germany always has piloted in-coming ships through. At the German embassy tonight, it was pointed out that the accident must have been caused by a mine as Germany, sorely in need of cotton, would not torpedo a vessel laden with such a cargo for German con-sumption. No Ground For Action. Early press dispatches from Ber-lin announcing the loss of the vessel by a mine caused a sensation in Washington where the tension has been more or less pronounced over the situation in the wai*«ones since the dispatch of warning notes to both Great Britain and Germany. It was virtually conceded that if the cause of the accident was proved to be a mine, there probably would be io ground for diplomatic action by the United. States, as the laying of mines is not prohibited by any inter-national conventions now in force. NORTH CAROLINA NEIS NOTES A BRIEF SURVEY OF WHAT IS TRANSPIRING IN THE COMMONWEALTH. A Candidate.—S. H. Hobbs, of Sampson county, who is prominently identified with the Farmers' Union in the state and nation, will be a candidate next year for the Demo-cratic nomination for state commis-sioner of agnculture. Belgium Refugees.—The first •party of Belgian refugees that will settle in North Carolina arrived in Wilmington last week from New York and went to Columbus county, where they will settle on lands of a development company. Dropped Dead.—Miss Mary Mc- Donald, of Cabarrus county aged 65 years, dropped dead in the Southern Railway passenger station in Sr.lls-burv Friday. She was nafmi ruVlMI by the sheriff of Cabarrus county to the state hospital for the insane at Morgan ton. Graham Inauguration.—The for-mal inauguration of Dr. E. K. Gra-ham as president of the University of North Carolina will take place April 21 and is to be made a nota-ble occasion. Some of the leading educators in the nation will be pres-ent ami make addresses. Will Build Road.—The project > build a new sand-clay road from As'iboro to High Point is assuming definite shape and it is cpected that actual work will begin inside of 80 days. The route is by the Randolph county home, through the gap of Carraway mountain by the home of ex-Representative Thomas Redding, thence by Flint Hill and Frazier's Siding, and will be 23 miles long. President Resigns.—It is under-stood in Statesville that Rev. Dr. J. A. Scott, president of Statesville Fe-male college, will sever his connec-tion with the institution when the present school term closes. The col-lege trustees are expected to make definite announcement of the mat-ter within a few days. Dr. Scott has been president of the college for many years and the institution has grown during his administration. Schools For Orphans.—The North Carolina Grand Lodge of Odd Fel-lows ha* taken the position that or-phan homes should be made puUic school districts and the children "of those homes should share in the ed-ucational advantages of the state the same as the other children of the state. At present the children of the orphan homes are a nonentity so far as partaking of the state's educa-ional advantages is concerned, it Is pointed out. TRAVELING MEN ATTEND SPECIAL MEETING HERE. Mr. J. R. Kernodle and young son, of Brown Summit Route 1, were vis-itors at The Patriot office Saturday. of neutrals states by appeals to laws and usages of war whose validity rests on their forming an integral part of that system of international doctrine, which, as a whole, their enemy frankly boasts the intention to disregard, so long as such neutral states cannot compel the German government to abandon methods of warfare which have not in recent history been regarded as having the sanction of either law or humanity." Fire in Wholesale District Friday Night. Fire early Friday night gutted the building and destroyed the stock of the American Commission Company, a wholesale grocery concern doing business on South Davie street. The fire was discovered shortly before 9 o'clock and the firemen were on duty until 11 o'clock, and by hard work prevented the flames from spreading to the adjoining buildings occupied by the Patterson Company on the north and Stockton & Hire on the south. The burned building was the prop-erty of Mrs. W. M. Ridenhour and was insured for about half its value. While no appraisal has been made, it is thought the damage to the Amer-ican Commission Company is $25,- 000 or more, partially covered by in-surance. A "Tadpole Statesman." A bitter verbal clash between Rep-resentative Palmer and Farr, of Pennsylvania, on the floor of the lower house of Congress Thursday night held up final action on the an-nual pension appropriation bill. De-bate took a wide range, and in the course of some remarks Represen- •tive Palmer said it cost a million dollars to elect a Republican senator from Pennsylvania. This drew a hot attack from Mr. Farr. In the exchange that followed Mr. Farr charged that Mr. Palmer had been a lobbyist and Mr. Palmer called Mr. Farr a "tadpole statesman." A special meeting of the North Carolina Council of the United Com-mercial Travelers was held in this city Saturday afternoon and was fol-lowed at night by a banquet in the Y. M. C. A. building. The meeting was attended by traveling men from all over North and South Carolina and was made notable by the pres-ence of two supreme officers of the order—Grand Secretary W. D. Mur-phy and Grand Page T. J. Phelps. The first meeting was held at 2.30 o'clock in the afternoon, when Grand Secretary Murphy made an address to the various secretaries of the North and South Carolina councils. This was intensely practical and in-teresting to his audience. At 4.30 a meeting of the state council was held and the initiation was conferred by the degree team of the Greensboro council. The secret work was fol-lowed by an address by Grand Page Phelps. Mr. C. C. Taylor served as toast-master at the banquet and toasts were responded to as follows: "Greensboro, the Home of the Traveling Man," Mayor T. J. Mur-phy. "Greensboro Council No. 296," E. C. Caldwell. "The Traveling Man as a Factor in Commerce," J. E. Latham. "The Grand Council of the Caro-linas," E. A. Hughes, grand coun-selor. "The Order of the United Com-mercial Travelers as a Fraternity," T. J. Phelps, supreme page. "The Best Asset of a Live City— the Traveling Men," C. O. Kueater. "Unity, Charity, Temperance," W. D. Murphy, supreme secretary. Mr. T. R. Kirkman, of Pleasant Garden, was among the callers at The Patriot office Saturday.. . . , i - ■ '.in ■'- 'i •"■?arii«Hlfiti'iM Jt—rff^r iff fr.''-t.-UiliiAli - "■ A-*1- • '—^■"•-- ^--^--^1- .•^.,,,...iu.^..j.-:w^ -^u:...,.U.^i ^"'■" -"- - ^
