of do must Io solidarity with reference to

At th usual hour tha cabinet began ar
riving for tha first .conference with th
president sine last Friday.

In some quarters th suggestion waa
mada that th president might forego th
usual meana of diplomat!, correspondence
end sddtefs a mM8ge In person to Em-,
peror William.
German's disavowal of any Intention
to deatroy American lives wa looked
upon by many officials as significant of
German's desire to maintain friendly re

it main purpose was to terrorize Great

throughout th south were maintained
as "show mills," with chool, churches,
hospital and welfare organization.
"Behind these mills,", ha said, "all th
other mills hide. It la vry difficult to
secure remedial measures. What amounts
to feudalism prevail in these mill towns.
Tha companies own the houses, street,
schools and churches even in soma cases,
tho grave yard."
Dr. McKelway presented figure to
how that many operatives, both children
and adults, got an average of less than
f2 a week. Negro children, he said, were
not employed in th mills to any great
extent.
"It I a fact." said he. "that negro chil
dren are getting a better opportunity for
education than tha whit children of tho
south."
