Attacking“Vessels on Trade Routes—Passengers WarnedNottoSail-on British Ships. German submarines,says a London dispatch,which for..two weeks had been confining themselves to the NorthSea,where they sank several trawl- ers,again have appeared on the traderoutesoffthewestcoastsofIreland and England and caught two victims. They were the British.steamer Ejale,sank off the Scilly @lands,and the Russian steamer Svorono,;attacked off the Blasket Islands.Both crews weresaved. That,taken im connection with thewarning-issued to.American “Favelers on trans-Atlantic liners,doubtless means another attempt with a greatnumberofsubmarinestocombatthe blockade by England.It is announced by the English papers that the.ad- miralty has found a means of dealing with submarines and the people,in view of the latest attacks upon steam- ers,are awaiting the resurt with in- terest. Passengers Warned Not to Sail on*British Ship, New York Dispatch,1st. Several persons among the 1,310 passengers who sailed today on the Lusitania received telegrams,at.the pier,signed by hames unknown —to them and presumably fictitious,advis- ing them not to sail,as the miner was to be torpedoed.One of those who Yeceived such a message was Alfred G.Vanderbilt.He destroyed the tele- gram without comment. Charles P.Summer,general agentoftheCunardLine,said tie.Lusi-J tania’s voyage .was atiended by no risk’whatever.She has =.speed oz 26 1-2 knots,he pointed ouz,and is provided with unusual water-tight bulkheads,The boilers are in the middle of the ship and next to these are the coal bunkers,.30 feet deep. Besides the 1,210 passengers carried by the Lusitania,it was estimated that there were upwards of 1,700 on four other liners sailing tocay.This was the largest number of trans- Atlantic travelers to leave New York in a single day this spring.+ Apparently the notice,puvlished early today over the signature of the German embassy,reminding passen- gers that vessels flying the flags of the allies are liable to destruction in the war zone around the British Isles,had no effect on the traveling public, There:were thé usual number of last- minute cancellations,but no more than customary,it was said at the various steamshipoffioffices. Other Submarine WotWork—British Re- taliated. bondion Dispateth. A’German submarine on Saturday sank the old British destroyer Re- cruit,off the Galloper,Lightship,in the North Sea,.but the score wasmorethanequalizedbyotherBritish destroyers,which after a’stern chase overtook and sank the two German torpedoboats that had accompanied the submarine on her cruise. Some of the crew of the Recruit were rescued by the trawler Daisy, but as the submarine fired on the fishermen they were compelled to leave the others to their fate.The 3ritish destroyers rescued most of the crews of the German torpedoboats and two officers were picked up by a pass- ihgsteamer and taken to Holland. Besides these incidents jn the NorthSeatheGermansubmarinescontinuedtheiroperationsofftheScillyIslands and in.addition ‘tc torpedoing the American tank steamer,Gulflight, whose captain died of shock and on which_twe—men--were drowned,sank the French steamer Fulgent,the cap- tain of the latter vessel being shot.

THE F,.F. ATTACK ON DARDANELLES. Report of the Progress of the Second Attempt to Force a Passage. Londen Dispatch. After serious.fighting in which the Turks offered a stubborn resistance, British troops,according:to an’official statement issued Friday night,haveestablishedthemselvesonthe-Galli- poli Peninsula and advanced ‘a con- siderable distance.toward the Nar- rows of the Dardanelles,while the French have cleared Cape Kum Ka-leh,on the Asiatic side of the Straits, of Turks. Thus the second and most serious attempt to force the Dardanelles.hasbeenfairlyldunched.The Turks un- der German officers placed every ob- stacle in the way-of the invaders but against the fire of the allied fleet and the gallantry of the army they were forced to fall back,The British forces lost heavily in the aperation.Six,peints were seteeted for~thelandings,which began at daylight.ofApril.25.At five points they were“successful immediately——but—at.the sixth near Seddul Bahr the troops were unable to advance until the avening.-The -Austratians and New Zealanders landed_on the west coast of the Gallipoli’Peninsula,directly across the country from the strongly fortified—Narrows,The other British troops disembarked at the extremeendofthepeninsulaandby’.the 28th,when it was decided to give the men a‘rest and time to enable the positions to be consolidated,they had reached Krithia,on the road =which runs along.the peninsula and overwhichtheywilljointheircomrades from the dominions and attack the forts guarding the Narrows in therear,The French took possession of Cape Kum Kaleh after they had previous- ly attacked toward Yeni Shehr to the south on the Asia-Minor coast. While this was proceeding ~~the fleet,besides covering the landing of the troops,kept up a bombardment of the forts m the Dardanelles and prevented reinforcements from.reach- ing Turkey,from the Sea.of Marmo- ra.One Turkish troop ship was sunk by the Queen Elizabeth,which is be- lieyed again to have fired her bie guns across the peninsula,directed ‘by air-men..The:troop ‘ship was sunk off Maidos,a tewn well inside the.Nar rows,which later the battleship Tri- umph bombarded and set on fire.The official account of the landing of the allied troops does not bear out the ovér-optimistic reports from Grecian towns which preceded it and which mentioned thousands of pris- onets as having been captured,thetotalofmentakenbythealliesbe- ing given as 500.These were cut offby.the fire of the ships.

GERMANS SINK LUSITANIA. British Liner Sent to the Bottom By German Subma-rine and About 1,200 Lives Lost—A Grave Situation. “The liner Lusitania,“which pool,was sunk by a German subma- rine Friday afternoon about 2 o’cloek‘and the number of livés lost is esti- mated at about 1,200, The number of pussengers is re-ported at 1,251,of whom 188 werecrewAmericans.These with “the made up a total aboard of over 2,-000—the reports vary as to the exact number. The latest report places the num- ber of survivors at 764,including 462 passengers and 302 o?the crew.Onehundredandforty-four dead bodies were recovered,87 ideritified and 57unidentified.Of the identified bodies66.-were passengets and 22 of the ,_erew.Of those rescued,30 of the ssengers:njured,[tis’sttwimtedthat--Fa-ofthe188Americansweresaved. The Fatal Torpedo. The Lusitania was steaming along about 10 miles off Old Head Kinsale,on the last leg of her voyage to Liv- erpool,when about 2 o'clock.Friday afternoon a German-submarine sud- denly appeared and fired one or more -torpedoes.

After explaining the object of the meeting”‘Mayor Caldwell asked for ex-ereeens from’those present.Mr.C..Steele was the first to respond andhestatedthathewantedthetowntohaveacitymanagerifweareinposi- tion to employ one.Mr.Steele sug- gested that Alderman Ausley give the meeting the—benefit-of his inyestiga- tions and some.facts and_figuresaboutthetown’s.affairs which he hadcompiled.i Mr.Ausley gave a statement—of the town’s finances and stated that in- asmuch as we now have bonds out- standing to the amount of $305,000 jand a floating indebtedness—of—$32,-000,it would be unwise to issue any more bonds.Therefore it is the pur-pose of the aldermen not to undertake any more street work further than that already planned,and to simply “hold things together”for the pres- ent.Without some_specizl.improve- ment workin progress there would be little for a city manager to do and inasmuch as the fixed expenses of the city at present about equal to the in- come,there is no chance .of anyspecialworkinthenearfuture.Mr.Ausley showed that the expenses ofthecity-including the_salaries_of_offi- cers,etc.,and not including interest, total $14,227 per annum.The inter- est on bonds,etc.,is $15,710,making the fixed expenses of the city $29,- 937..The,total receipts from taxes,“ot including the graded school tax, are approximately 229,200 To this is added about $800 in fees and fines,.|making the total receipts about $30,-100 In addition ta thia are the re- ceipts.from.lights and water,which are practically offset by the expenses of these two departments.The ¢ity’sfloatingindebtedness’‘is >covered -by. assessments against property in the street»improvement districts,which assessment will be paid within the next eight years.Mr.Ausley did notbelieveitwouldbewisetoemploya city:manager just at this time,with the city affairs as they are.Alderman Shelton,who with Mr. Ausley has made considerable investi- gations since the matter of a city manager has been under considera- tion,told of his’visit to Hickory.|where a city manager is employed. Mr.Shelton found that Hickory pay more receipts each year than Statvilleonaccountofthefactthat’t property tax rate there is $1.60 against our rate of $1.15,with a poll tax.of.$4,80,while our poll rate ‘is only $2.-Practically all of the Hick-ory officers get a larger salary than. is paid by Statesville. Dr.P.F.Laugenour stated that‘af- ter hearing Mr.Ausley’s statement hewassatisfiedthatStatesvillewasbe- ing managed about as well ‘as couldbeandhewaswillingtocontinueun-der the present arrangement.

RILT AND THE MEN >FROM TEXAS. is stated that Alfred Gwynne bi t,a member of the noted jonaire Vanderbilt family of New +who perished in the Lusitania er,took off a lifebelt-which he secured and gave it to a young ‘woman who had none.It is further said.that Mr.Vanderbilt couldn't ‘swim and his surrender of the life- meant practically the surrender his chance to live.If the facts are correctly reported,all honor to Mr, anderbilt,If he voluntarily gave up hischance of life to save a woman, @ knightly.soul went to his death when he perished.: That is what the papers are saying about Mr.Vanderbilt,and he deserved it}But why laud him—slop over— :some of the papers are doing,and ore humbler men who did the same mg?The very same record that tells of Mr.Vanderbilt giving up his “lifebelt to'a woman tells of two men from’Texas--R.J.Timmis and R.T. 3 Moodie of Gainesville,Texas——who _gave up their lifebelts to steerage wo- “men.Timmis was afterward.picked up,but Moodie was not seen again, ~He went to his death to save a wo- ‘man and child,for the record says when—his—attention was called to a steerage woman with!a 6-months-old. baby he promptly stripped off his life- belt and gave it to her.All honor to the men from Texas.They were as --brave and as noble as Vanderbilt. They probably ‘never had his.oppor- ~funities and his training,but the true nobility and courage was as strong in the men from Texas as it was in the “New York millionaire.But the names of the Texans do not figure in the edi- ‘Yorial columns of the —newspapers. They were not millionaires and they “were not prominent. \=When the Titanic went down,John Yacob Astor,a New York millionaire, went to his death,Most of the news- en Slopped over in commenting on his “heroic”death,just,as they are doing in the case of Vanderbilt.Some “pf them even magnify his conduct by ‘saying he gave up his seat in a life-‘boat to a woman,That,would have_been a man’s parthad haltingeo,but] ‘the report of the Titani¢,Gisaster stated that when Mrs,Astor was plac- “ed ina boat her husband asked to go fwith her,saying hig’wife’was in deli+tate health.This’was true and the husband’s request.was a natural one. An officer of the Titanic refused him permission to go in the boat and Mr. Astor did not contend..He quietly stepped aside and met ‘death.This was quite different from voluntarily giving up a seat in the boat,although there was:nothing in ‘the incident to 'Mr.Astor’s ‘discredit.3 5 The Landmark would give these ‘prominent men—these ,millionaires— every meed of praise to which they “are entitled,but it gives one weari- ness of the flesh to see them lauded to the skies for doing only what others fn humbler station did as readily.

The income tax is not payable till June,but the returns are how in,and it is possible to make an approxima, tion to the amount they will yield.

Baltimore Sun.s In.considering the international crisis which the sinking of the Lusi- tania has brought about,it is worth while just at this time to go back to A new chapter iu the European war was begun on February 4,when Ger-many issued her announcement creat- ing “a “war zone”of “the waters around Great Britain and Ireland,in- cluding the whole English Channel,” to go into effect “from and after Feb- ruary 18.’--What that proclamation statement that “every enemy shipfoundinthiswarzonewillbede-stroyed,even if it is impossible ‘toavert-dangers which threaten the crew and passengers.”“Neutral ships in the war zone”were also warned that they “are in danger,as,in con-sequence of the misuse’of neutral filags—ordered_by ‘the British govern-~ the hazards of naval warfare,”it is not always possible to prevent.injury. to neutral ships from’attacks intend- ed for belligerent vessels.To make this warning more impressive it was added that “neutral vessels which,de-spite this ample ©notice,enter these closed waters will themselves-bear theresponsibilityforanyunfortunateac-cidents that may occur.Germany dis- claims all responsibility for such ac-cidents and their consequences.”‘Inasmuch as Germany’s battleshipsandcruiserscouldnotenforce‘thisproclamation,the work,it was an- nounced by the German admirality,would be-done-by--submarines....Therewasnopretensethattheseopera-tions would constitute ‘a blockade’such as neutrals are bound to.respect un: der the accepted rules of internation al law,nor,so far as they affectedbelligerents,that they were in ac-cordance with the previous rules ofwar.’What Germany undertook to do was to create new rules with regardtobothneutralsandbelligerents,be- eause these new rules would give heranadvantageshecouldnotgaininanyotherway.The fact that such a change involved the slaughter of non™combatants and menaced the rights and_lives of neutrals was not regard- ed as a matter of importance.The position taken was,substantially,that principles of humanity and the rights of neutrals had to give way to Ger- many’s necessity.Great Britain and the allies 'answer-ed-this-assertion of a new.interna:tional doctrine by the declaration of what’was ‘practically an ‘embargo onall)commerce,between,Germany,arideutral,countries,which they,stylPblockade‘though’it ‘differed “frotheiinecepted‘form:«of “blockade:andthoughthe,i tention WA ‘expressed todealtenderlywithneutralshipping.Our'answer to‘Gertiahy,made “pub:lic'on February ‘14,,was.ia refusal torecognizeGermany’s’right ‘to excludeneutralafrom‘the ~prohibited waters.bya submarine,campai antheexpressionofeHalarialnatten&hold the imperial German’govern:ment to,ja.strict;accountability farsuch.acts_of.,their-naval authorities”as shouldresult in the destifaction “onthehigh’seas of’an American | or the lives of American —citizens?

AWYER INDICTED FOR SLAN-Gs i, ‘indictment of an ‘Asheville r for slander.on account of a atement niade in court is unusual, if it does not break a precedent..W. Brown of the Asheville bar charg- in open court last August that the w firm of McCall &Bennett and Magistrate W.A.James,Jr.,had col- leagued to secure a.verdict in the urt of the magistrate favorable to aw firm’s client and injurious to the client of Mr.Brown,Last week the Buncombe.county grand jury in- “dicted Lawyer Brown for slander, ‘The outcome of the case will be ‘watched with interest.; >The.layman’will take notice that it is lawyers.and a magistrate that Lawyer Brown is charged:with slan- dering.Had he confined his charges to.the’magistrate,or to some ordi- nary layman,it is safe to say that no indictment:would have.been-found. “Tt is doubiful if a term of court is held in any county in North Carolina -in which slanders are not uttered ‘openly,or by imputation,by lawyers “against laymen.It is a common prac- “tice.Men of unquestioned character “are frequently charged,by “insinua- tion if not directly,with grave lapses; “and.not.infrequently these insinua- tions damage the characters of the man so slandered,in that they arouse suspicion or distrust among those who do not know them well,or among that large class who prefer to _think evil rather than good of their fellows. ‘The victims of these slanders.are helpless.The utterances of the law- yérs in court are usually held to be “privileged.If the victim complains the lawyer will usually tell him that he was not in éarnest;that the re- narks were simply a part of the ame without’intent to ‘do;:damage. is explanation is made privately; ile the \imputatidns’.have ibeen e openly before-the peoplé agsem- 2aRt If the victirti feelspabletoteke-itoutof the Aawyer’s hide,he stands to lose when te is calle to,ageount for assault in ®@ court where ‘th u and all the lawyers will be with ir»professional,brother;and,90 wally he has to grin.andbear,it. “But when the same medicine is ad- rinistered to a lawyer it is another Matter.The grand jury.is ‘called to his aid,as in the Buncombe case. When Judge Carter fined Solicitor _Abernethy for contempt the power of the State of North Carolina was in- yoked for the solicitor.Had a layman “been fined under similar circum- ‘stances,the solicitor and other law- ~yers would have advised him to take 'his-medicineand go on;and that’s ‘what he would have done. _The Buncombe lawyers ‘who have indicted their brother for slander have set a precedent thatxmay be used to ~plague the profession.Some ordinary yman who receives similar —treat- amené in court may feel that he is en- _“titled to the same remedy,and the eon jury may be called on for help.OL eemeeemeeemeteeeiae ae Shae i at.E.Harris,Governor-elect of eorgia,will take office June 26.Thefenprisoncommissionwillbegin nsidering the Frank case next week. q plying to the suggestion that this _Mease might come to him for final dis- et Mr.Harris said: -.™&You can ‘just say for Nat Harris‘that if the matter of dealing execu-_,itive clemency:to the condemned man wis tobe considered mtire outside world will not be takenintoconsiderationonebit.It is en-=tirely a Georgia matter,and if f-am to consider the basis,it will be withtheinterest_of Georgia and the inter-‘ést of Georgia persons at heart.” .Legislatures.are pasing resolu- tions,thousandsof people ‘are.writ- ing letters and other thousands are _‘gigning petitions asking for celmen- ¢y in this case,and few of them know “the facts.Mr.Harris’rebuke of the ysterical and sentimental who.are undertaking to tell the State of Geor- *gia what to do,is just. a +; The War Department at Washing- ton,through adjutant General Young, “4s calling attention to the statutes _made and provided for dealing with those who appropriate to their.own use property belonging to the gov- CHUACH -\it fears that going into advertising |ments;i e sympathies of the!’ ‘by—him,-that—the+ ‘NEWS AND .CHURCHPADS.(3008 “The North Carolina Christian Ad- Cen nena for church services is desirable,but} columns and paying for space’may smack:of the bargain-counter,Of course publicity for the Church could be made hurtful by the use of bar- gain-counter methods,but a dignified statement of the offerings can be made in ad.columns as well as when run free as reading matter.Bro.

Story of a Blowing Rock Fisher: man. Lenoir News. The Blowing Rock country fur- nishes a fisherman of unusual origin- ality and:resources..In the lakes of that famous resort are many fine trout and bass,but being private property,fishermen are not permitted to fish.except by consent of the own- ers.A bright youngfellow of thecommunity.who was quite fond ofseeingthefish~eat when they werefedatregularintervalsbytheat-tendants,would frequently sit on aprojectingrockorlogatthewater’s edge,with his bare feet dangling:inthewater.Sometimes he would’sitforhoursinthisway“watching thefish.”At last he revealed to a friendthatwhilethussittingbythelakehehada‘trout line with .a baited hookrrunningdownhis“fezand out,between his bare toes and while hisfeetdangledinthecoolwatershe|was pulling fine trout out of the lake and up-his pants leg.into a spacious blouse waist above his belt.His suc- cess in catching large fish was quite remarkable,as none of the other fishermen of the community —could land so many big ones from the small streams supposed to be the only fish- ing places. Roosevelt Won the Libel Suit. The jury to determine whether Col.

Barnes worked through a “corrupt al- liance between crooked business andcrookedpolitics,”and that he was “corruptly allied with Charles’F.Murphy,of Tammany Hall,”returned a verdict in favor of the former Pres-ident.In the belief of the jury every-thing Colonel Roosevelt said abouttheformerchairman:of the Republi- can State committee was true andthereforeMr.Barnes was.not libeled. Barnes sued Roosevelt for $50,000 damages and the.trial has been on at Syracuse,N.Y.,for five weeks.-The verdict was returned after 40ballotshadbeentakenandthejury had considered the evidence for 42 hours.The jury at first stood nine to three for Roosevelt and then 11 to 1. ernment.It seems that supplies fur- nished the militia have been careless- handled in some cases—have either ion that kind of a verdict but the court lost or appropriated to private|refused to receive it,holding it illegal. e by members of the militia and) -others.The purpose is to put a stop _All supplies must ‘aecounted for;and those,who han-|them should have a care.Uncle| fe this practice. is a bit severe with folks oa his things ‘and getting out of! ible'in his court 1s not so easy.as off the Statecourt.

The coroner's jury found that In- le came to his death at the hands ofalterBryant,who was held in Bun- tombe jail without bond,At the pre-fiminary hearing Saturday,April 3, Arno Matthews,15-year-old nephew of Mrs.Ingle,wife of deceased,testi-fied that he was the only eye-witnesstothetragedy.He said that the night before,at Ingle’s house at BlackMountain,Ingle proposed that they ~{Matthews,Bryant and Ingle-—go to Ridgecrest,and this they did.OnthereturntoBlackMountain,when they were about a-—halfmile from Ridgecrest,Ingle in front,Bryant a little behind Ingle and Matthews alittlebehindBryant,Bryant shot In- gle in the back and began beatinghim.Matthews ran,Bryant over- took him and told him he had killed Ingle because of an ugly name he had called him.When they,got to the In- gle home Bryant told Mrs.Ingle what he had done.She fainted: Soon all went to bed.Matthews did pot tell any one about the affair next morning because he said Bryant had threatened,the night before,to killhimifhedid.«Beside the body of Ingle werefoundtwopocketknivesanda_billét:One of the knives was open and coy-ered with blood and the other was not PH~“Story:of the Trial, Bryant was pul on.trial,.in Bun-combe Superior Court in AshevilleWrdnesdayandhetookthestandinhisowndefense.He swore that hehadKilledIngletosavehisownlife.

Evidently the only way to’keepMarvinClark,Marshall Lynch and Rome Morgan from robbing stores; thieving and committing other viola-tions of the.Jaw,is to keep them locked -up or under guard.at alltimes.These three negro boys and.other defendants convicted in the Superior Court last week were sentenced.byJudgeShawtoworkattheCounty Home.Since being taken to the }Home the boys have been doing good work on the farm during the day and were quartered at night in the insane department of the infirmary building.The boys epparently were very well satisfied with conditions except their nights were void of:ex- citement,so’Wednesday night theydecided‘to.pull off one of their old stunts,The three named above slip-ped out of a window that was.not se- curely fastened,secured an axe and walked down to the village of Trout- man.It was their purpose,they say,to use the axe in breaking into one of the stores at Troutman,get some goods and return to the Home, but as fate would have it Deputy Sheriff Clark,who had been at a lodge meeting,saw the boys loiter-ing near the store and recognizing them as members of the newly cre- ated farming force at the County Hbpme,placed all three under arrest. A telephone message brought Supt. Perry of the Home to Troutman and he took his “farm hands”back to the Home in his machine. Yesterday Mr.Perry came _to Statesville to confer with the county officials about the advisability.of keeping the boys at the Home,and it was decided to continue the pres- ent.arrangement,though the win- dows of their sleeping quarters wil! be made more secure.Mr.Perry is very much gratified with the good work the boys are doing en the farm and says he does not anticipate fur- ther trouble if he can.only “keepthemhomeatnight.” Civic League—Will Help Anti-Typhoid Campaign.

Mr.Marconi is quoted as saying that| Mr.Walsh ‘for ‘his treatment ofRockefeller,the general opinion be- ing that the chairman was endeavor- ing to humiliate and badger the mil- lionaire rather than to secure the facts from his testimony.That be-. ing so,Chairman Walsh deserves the criticism;but the treatment accorded Mr..Rockefeller is .the usual treat- “ment ‘accorded.witnesses when:it is desired to break down their testimo- ny or to get from them something they are not disposed-to tell,In that light Mr,Walsh is to be commended for giving Mr.Rockefeller the same treatment he would have given John Smith;and one:wonderswhether,:if John Smith had been the witness, there would have been so much,if any,criticism of Mr.Walsh’s.meth- the device has been perfected to the ela point.where persons in a room can see others in an adjoining room,look- ing through the wall,if the persons ~-yiewed are close'to the wall,but that at a distance from tne wall they be- tome blurred. involved in the apparatus,it is as- gerted,have made Mr.Marconi re- Juctant to make known his invention. ‘Looking at things-that-have been} cease smttnasieecesciennima The Landmark’s sympathy was with the ladies and it hoped that the Supreme Court would hold«that they were eligible to the office of notary Possibilities for evil|public,but it must admit that Justice Allen’s reasoning that the office is a public office appears to be sound,The justice also shows;with force,that if it be:admitted that the Legislature invented and are being invented,The|has the power to designate a position -Landmark balks at no story of inven- -tions;and if Mr,Marconi says h ‘invented the device:described,we ave no doubt he has done:that same. ‘He is to be commended,however, his reluctance to make known the in- ‘yention on account.of its possibili- ties for evil.Such an invention in ‘the hands of unscrupulous people would be very dangerous to the peace|also have some consolation while they|Carolina anti-trust laws is attacked and welfare of the public. tn a arnSAAN a (“The man,”.says Col.Jo.Reece in his veracious Record,“‘who can recall his joy over the possession of _his first pair of red-top boots when a boy can estimate the pleasure of the man with his first “automobile.”Nothing ean equal the happiness of a child.
