NO CHANCE TO WIN GLORY Youthful Recruit Found He Was Not Adapted by Nature for a Drummer Boy. The irreverent man had been aroused by tjilk of the war to tell an anecdote, and those about him really thought that the gravity of the sub ject would make him reverent this time. He said: “At the time of the Spanish-Ameri ean war I was a boy at school. I was fired with tremendous patriotic zeal. I decided to steal away unbeknownst to my parents and enlist as a drum mer boy. You see, 1 was old enough for'that, and I was a robust young ster, so 1 expected no trouble at all with the military authorities. "So, instead of going to school one morning, I hurried to a recruiting sta tion and told the officer in charge that I wanted to be drummer boy. “Ah, me! Though years have passed, it is still an awful memory.” He sighed. Those listening were much impressed. "Didn't they take you on as a drummer boy?” they inquired. "No,” he groaned. ’ Why?” “Because —because I had no ear for music?” Activities cf Women. Miss Alma K. Boyd has been ap pointed private secretary to Lieuten ant Governor McClain of Pennsyl vania.

THE DOUGLAS ENTERPRISE. DOUGLAS. GEORGIA EPITOME OF THE WEEK’S EVENTS In a Condensed Form the Happenings of All Nationalities Are Given For Our Readers. WEEK'S NEWS AT A GLANCE Important Events of the United States and Particularly in the South. European War According to reports from Athens Greece is contemplating to aid the al lies in the attack on Constantinople and the forcing of the Dardanelles, which is being rigorously continued by the Anglo-French fleet. The Russians have been repulsed in a number of places along the Aus trian border, and the German troops have been beaten back in Poland. England refuses to concede the rights of neutral powers on the high seas in her retaliatory measure against Germany. England has declared a blockade on all German ports in her effort to pre vent further commercial intercourse between Germany and the outside wortd. Premier Asquith made public the announcement of the government’s decision in a speech in the house of commons and his war message was received with great enthusiasm. France will also join in the blockade so as to make it complete. This ac tion is in retaliation of the kaiser’s announced intention of sinking all ves sels found in English waters after February 18. Tako Jonescu, Roumanian minister of the interior, has announced in Bucharest that a formal agreement has just been concluded between his country and the triple entente by which Roumania is bound to enter the war in the near future. Bucharest dis patches declare preparations are be ing made to call all classes of reserves for the army, which it is expected will move on Turkey. It is announced in Paris that an agreement has been reached between England and France on one side and Russia on the other regarding the future status of the Dardanelles, which will give Russia free passage of the straits, over which the other two nations will claim control. This is the important step and crux of the whole European war situation and was the underlying cause of the en tire conflict, precipitated some six years ago during the first Bulgarian outbreak against the Turks in 1908. Russia’s eye has always been on the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles and lias always been held in check by Na poleon, by Bismarck, by England, France and Germanv > and by England and France together in the Crimean war. English and French troops have been landed from the Anglo-French fleet, which is forcing its way up the straits. Several more Turkish forts have been demolished and the Mos lem troops are hastily giving way be fore the allied invaders. The American steamer Dacia, re cently purchased from its German owners, lias been captured by a French warship and taken to Brest, where an investigation will be held, regarding the nationality of the boat. The Dacia sailed from Galveston in January expecting at the time it would be seized. Foreign Queen Wilhelmina has informed Dr. Henry Van Dyke, American ambassa dor to Holland, that her nation will continue its present course of neu trality, but that she will stoutly main tain her rights on the high seas. A large delegation of Americans and Parisians headed by Ambassador Sharp of the United States and Pres ident Poincare of France, paid a great tribute to George Washington and held a patriotic demonstration and pa rade in Paris, which closed with Am bassador Sh’arp, placing a wreath at the foot of the Washington statue in Paris. The wreath was tied with the American stars and stripes and the French tri-colors. The steamer Dacia, recently pur chased by Edward N. Breitung from its German owners and captured on the high seas by a French warship and taken to Brest, has been stripped of the American colors and the American crew shipped back to New York. The French foreign office, however, has npt been officially apprised of this act. Germany is reported to have favor ed President Wilson’s vigorous note regarding the English water war zone declaration and the admiralty office in Berlin will send word that the kaiser is willing to life the ban provided Eng land will cease the contraband on foodstuffs. England's attitude is doubtful, but it is believed she will obstinately maintain her present posi tion. Thfc mikado has under considera tion an appeal from the allied powers to send Japanese troops to Europe this summer to assist in the campaign that is being planned on Germany and the march to Berlin. It is un derstood sentiment is quite divided on this question in Tokyo. Railroad traffic between Vera Cruz and Mexico City lias been suspended by order of General Carranza. The Zapata forces in renewing their attack to regain possession of Mexico City have been repulsed by General Obre gon. the chief Carranza lieutenant Washington The Sixty-third congress, perhapn the greatest and most eventuful con gress since the adoption of the Amer ican Constitution, came to a close on Thursday noon, March 4. President Wilson has been voted the power to preserve the neutrality of the United States and the ehforcement of the Monroe doctrine in the absence of congress being in session by a joint congressional resolution introduced by Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin. President Wilson and his cabinet held a prolonged conference in discussion of the English blockade of Germany. Tile president declared England was openly and defiantly in terfering with the rights of the Unit ed States on the high seas and that it must’ be stopped. The situation be tween the nations is graver today than ever before. President Wilson has signed the pensions appropriation bill which calls for $164,000,000. The niral credits reform legisla tion, which was one of the Baltimore platform pledges, has been redeemed by the Wilson administration just be fore the adjournment of the present congress. The house passed the farm loan law by a vote of 237 to 89 votes. The amendment offered by Senator McCumber of North Dakota in the up per house was voted down in the low er branch and the BulkAey-Holiis plan was adopted as originally intended. In addition to the tariff, currency, ship tolls and other great measures put through by the Wilson administration, this is one of the important bits of legislation that will make the pres ent term memorable. The United States Supreme court has declared the Kansas courts have exceeded their authority in enjoining shipments of beer from Missouri into Kansas. Justice Mcßeynolds render ed the decision. The act of congress prohibiting all persons from selling or giving away habit-forming drugs without a physi cian's prescription or under the direct instruction of a physician, known as the Porterfield act, has gone into ef fect. President Wilson has announced the possibility of having to foregoe his San Francisco exposition trip after all on account of the serious aspects in the European war situation. He feels his duty is to remain in Washington continually on the job during such strenuous warlike times. Responding to an invitation to come to Memphis, Nashville, Chattanooga and other southern cities, when importuned by a large delegation from Tennessee, the president stated he would if the war situation would permit. Congress has passed an act incorpo rating the Ellen Axson Wilson Memo rial Heme Association for the District of Columbia, which is the permanent memorial to Mrs. Woodrow Wilson and will be in the nature of dwelling houses for families in the tenement districts of the Capital City. President Wilson and the cabinet are considerably worried over the English announcement of blockading German ports on account of the cotton situation. The majority of American exports to Germany since the war have been cotton shipments. How the blockade will affect cotton shippers of the South perplexes the government officials just at the present moment. *n some circles it is rumored President Wilson will place an embargo on all foodstuffs to all belligerent nations in retaliation for England’s interference with American commerce between the United States and Germany. The Sixty-third congress lias drawn to a close. Domestic President Wilson has ordered a probe of the alleged passport frauds, which have grown out of the Stegler incident. An anarchist was arrested in St. Patrick’s Roman Catholic church in New York in the act of lighting the fuse of a bomb by which he confess ed the intention of blowing up the edifice. Over one hundred and sixty-five men were entombed in a West Virginia coal mine by a mine explosion at Hin ton, W. VR. The Mississippi Supreme court has upheld the constitutionality of a law recently passed by the legislature barring the use of whiskey in all so cial clubs. The Hamburg-American line and five of its officials now in New York have been indicted on the charge of conspir ing to defraud the United States gov ernment through false statement, false clearances of vessels from American ports and false manifests of cargoes with the intent of having its ships de liver supplies to German cruisers. Another Pittsburg millionaire springs into the divorce court lime light in the person of Edward B. Al sop. one of the steel magnates, SO years old. who seeks separation from his youthful Southern wife, Mrs. Effie Pope Alsop, aged 23, formerly a Geor gia girl. Desertion is the plaintiff’s charge. The case has caused wide spread gossip in Pittsburg social cir cles. John Hays Hammond, head of the National Republican Clubs association, publicly praised President Wilson’s peace policy at a peace meeting in Cincinnati and declared the way of avoiding international strife in the future was by means of publicity of all negotiations between nations. Formal announcement has been made in New York of an organiza tion of first reserves to be known as the American Legion. It is comprised of a number of former army, navy and militia men who feel if war is declared they would like to be the first called after the regulars.
