October 315t21913, The Tide Is Turning . - The arrogance of the British Note has brought the American Press to realize the seriousness of the problem confronting Amerian trade by the arbitrary assumption by Kngland of the right to dictate to N:utral countries with whom and what Neutrals may sell cach other and when, The more far seeiag and less partisan journals have point ed out this condition for the past ten months but it required the Eng lish point of view, as expressed in the note to our Government to plainly expose their hy) ozrisy to public view. To the credit of the American newspapers it may be stated here that the lateness of this realization was due entirely to a misconception of the laws that gov ern Nations at wa~. Says the Times Union of Jacksonville, always a strong defender of Democracy, editorially: ‘““American interests have been placed betwee. the German hammer and the British anvil by the policy of the administration. So soon as the British orders in council had been met by the German proclamation of a war zone, we should have protested with the declaration of an embargo in case sach claims were not rescinded within ten days. Failing such surrender of these illegal assumptions of pernicious power, the United States should have declared an embargo against both or either of the belligerents attack ing our rights, and the Awerican fleet shonld have been stationed where it would have done the most good. The Times-Union claims no merit for such advice then tendered—it was the course advised by Jefferson under ‘similar circumstances and practiced by President Monroe,” Other pro-English papers in this country are rapidly modifying their previous position and are urging more stringent measures in the interest of American commerce and American producers. The South’s welfare is in jeopardy and delay is dangerous. Another Congressman Agrees With Our Views. Congressman Vinson of the 10th District of Georgia is also en tering vigorous protests against the interference by England with the trade in South’s great staple. In a recent speech made in his district Congressman Vinson said: ; *'The farmers of the West have profited by the war to the extent that it has increased the exports of grain, receiving at tractive war prices for the same, while the North and East have been given substantial foreign business in the shape of war sup plies. The South and Southern farmer have been made to suffer and will continue to ba by being d2prived of the usual outlet for their products. 1t is to our interest to urge that prompt action be taken on this question, for the unlawful interference with America’s com merce will cause the greatest calamity to the producers of cotton that has fallen since the Civil war. Results can be obtained by arousing public opinion, for it has always been a recognised ele ment in the directing of the affairs of the world.”’ ' If the South hopes to escape another seige as she went through in 1914 and may be worse, it is high timethat her Statesmen be gin to rally to her banner. The large indebtedness carried over from last year will have to be met this season in addition to the debts created during this year and the exclusion of our cotton from the foreign markets vyill mean ruin for the planters of the South. The Germans continue their relentless drive against the Russians in Poland and the Baltic provinees but the Russians nearly everywhere ar» viving them battle in strong rear guard actions and counter-attacks, On several sectors Petrograd asserts that the Teutons have been held or driven back, and that at one place—on the left bank of the ¥iperex in Southwest Poland—in a counter-attack ‘*some hundreds of risoners” were captured. In addition, near Riga, on the Baltic, I :trograd says the Germans have been dislodged from positions be t veen the Dvina, Kkau and Aa rivers Berlin does not mention the fizhting around Riga, and concerning that on the Vieprez mearly declares the Teutonic right wing is still fiehting, The German war office, however, reports that at Segrez, near N wogeorgievsk, Russian forts have been captured, that Serock, north «Ist of the fortress, has bean occupied and that advances have been rade on the Lomzo-Ostrov-Wyszkow road between the Narew and the Bug. Farther south, the Germans are said to have crossed to the east bank of the Vistula near Warsaw, which put them into closer touch with the garrison of the Polish capital that has fallen back on Praga, while between the Vistula and the Buag the Russians continue their re t-eat northward and eastward under the pressure of Field Marshal Voo Mackensen, THE LEADER-ENTERPRISE MONDAY AUG. 9 1915 Pano - Hightower Co. “Everybody’s Market” | Will open August 11th, a Sanitary Market “Everybody’s Market” at 119 E.

McFarlin pitched a good game, giving up but six hits. Fitzger ald scored in the sixth as follows: Meyers hit safe, he was sacrificed to second and third, Beal bunt ed him in and was safe at first when he was hit by third base man’s peg.

The main event was a full nine inning contest—the Outlaws vs. Frark and the umpire. Frank and her ally took the game four to three. At first it seemed that Fitzgerald was about to gain vengance for several defeats at the hands of this fast country team as she scored two in the first. This hope was blasted in the third when, by two safe raps and two inexcusable errors, the visitors counted three times. In the fourth Barfield hit one and crossed with the tying run on Jones’s hit, but as Harris held them scoreless the rest of the game this went for naught. Frank scored once more in the seventh when Dud Hudson broke up the game by driving one over Barfield’s head and scoring W. Oakes. In the ninth the Out laws used two pinch hitters but failed to score. = g Score by Innings: RHE Frank 003000100 4 9 4 Outlaws 200 100 000 3 8 6 Batteries: Harris and Whitley for Frank; Littlefield and Hud son for Qutlaws.
