company, has returned from a visit to
his, old home at Wilson, North Caro
lina. To a reporter of The Intelligen

hard times ls being experienced at
Wilson- He attributes this to the fact
that the farmers of that section plant
tobacco quite extensively, making cot
ton their aurplus crop altogether. He
talked with a fannel1, he stated, who
declared that he made more money
last fall than he had ever made. Farm
ing operations are going on around
Wilson apace, Mr. Jobnpon states, and
farmers are going' to plant tobacco
on a larger scale than ever this year.

AMERICAN PROTEST !
t PAGE ONE.)
self obliged to point out with the
greatest emphasis thtft a trame ox
arms, estimated at many hundreds of
millions? is being carried on between
Am?Heap .firms and Germany's ene
mies. Germany fully comprehends
that the practice of right and the toMr]
ration of wrong on the part of neu
trals are- matters absolutely at the
U?SC?V???OMB of stut?-al?. atid iavo?ve
no formal violation of ' neutral*?/1
Germany, therefore, did pot complain
Of any formal violation of neutrality,
bul the German government, in view
of complete evidence before it, can
not help pointing out that it, togeth
er with the entire public opinion of
Germany, feels itself to be. peverely
prejudiced by the fact that neutrals
In safeguarding their righten legits
mate commerce with Germany ac
cording to international law have, up
?*?. tim prCwC?t,- ???hi?i"3^ ? ii?, or osiy'l
insignificant, results, while they are.
making unlimited use of their right
by carrying on contraband traffic with
Great Britain and eur other enemies.
"It is
"If it ia a formal right of neutrals
to take no steps to protect their legi
timate trade with Germany, and even
to allow themselves to be Influenced
in the direction ot the conscious and
wilful restriction of their trade, oh the]
other bund, they ha Ve the perfect
right, which they unfortunately do not
exercise, to cease contraband trade/
especially i narm-, with Germany's
enemies.
Using Some Method.
"In view ot this situation Germany,
after, 'six months of patient walting,
sees herself obliged to answer Great
Britain's v murderous method of navnl
warfare with sharp counter measures, j
It Great Britain, in her fight against |
Germany, summons hunger as an ally,
tor the purpose ot imposing upon
civilized people ot seventy . millions j
the choice between destitution and]
atarvntion, or submission to Creal I
Britain's commercial will., then Ger-1
many is determined to take up the
gauntlet and appeal to similar allies.
. "Germany trusts that tba* neutrals
who so far have submitted to the dis
advantageous consequences of Great
Britain's hunger war in alienee, or
nu.;!? j. !"J;^T~' ' ""'*- *? nrniMt UL' I ll
display towards Germany "no smaller
measures, like those of Great Britain,
measures of toleration, even if German
measures, like those of Great Bri
tain, present new terrors of navnl
warfare.
"Moreover, the Oortr.au government
ts resolved to suppress with all the
means at Us disposal, the importation
of war material to Great Britain and
ber allies? and she takes it for grant
ed that neutral government?, which so
far bave taken- no. steps against the
traffic tr. arms witt Germany's ene
mies, will not oppose forcible sup
pression by Germany of this trad a.
WAI Destroy Heatfle Test?is.
"Acting from this point of view, the
German admiralty proclaimed a naval
war spue whoas limita ll exactly de
fined. Germesy, so. far ar possible,
?rt? seek to close thia war zone with
minea, an? will also endeavor to de
stroy hostile merchant v?asela In
every other way. While Gie Gorman
goveojnent, in taking action baaed
ujfcn thia overpowering point of.?rfew.
fcfep* Itself far removed from all in
itial destruction of neutral lives
?na ' property, on the other, hand it
does not tail to recognise that from
the action to be taken against Great
Britain dangers arise which threaten
all trade within the war zone, without
distinction. This -Js a neutral result
of mute warfare, which even under the
strictest observance of the limits of
International law endangers every
Ship approaching the mine area. The
German government considers itself
entitled to hope that all neutrals will
acquiesce in these measures as they
have done in the case of the grievous
.amaices inflicted upon them by Brit
Ish measures, all the more so as Ger
many bs received, for the protection
of neutral shipping, tven in the naval
war tone, to Oo ever>*liing which ls
at all compatible with lae attainment
of th ta object.
Gave Ample Notice.
"In view of the fact that Germany
gave the fir?t proof of her good will
in fixing a time limit of not less than
fourteen days' before the execution
of said measures, so that neutral ship
ping might have an opportunity of
making arrangements to avoid threat
ening danger, this can most surely be
achieved by remaining away from the
naval war tone. Neutral vessels,
Witch, despite this ample notice which
greatly affects the achievement of our
alma In our war against Great Britain,
enter these closed waters will them
selves bear the responsibility for any
unfortunate accidents that may occur,
Germany disclaims all responsibility
for such accidents and consequence*
"Germany,has further expressly an
nounced the destruction of all enemj
merchant vjassels found within the wai
zone, but not the destruction of al'
merchant vessels, as the United Statei
seems erroneously to have understood
This restriction which Germany 1m
poses upon Itself is prejudicial to th?
aim of our warfare, especially as ii
the application of the conception o
contraband practiced by Great Brltati
towards Germany-which presuroptioi
will not also be similarly interprete*
by Germany-the presumption will
be that neutral ships have contrabani
aboard. Germany naturally is un
willing to renounce its rights to as
certain the presence of contraband ii
neutral vessels, sr J in certain case
ti 'draw conclu:--ors therefrom.
Ready fe l>e KUerate With U.S.
"Germany ls ready, finally, to de
liberate with the United States con
cernlitg any measures which mlgli
secure the safety of legitimate ship
ping of neutrals In the war zone. Get
many cannot, however, forbear t
point out that'all its effort* in thl
direction may be rendered very ditf
cult by~ two circumstances; first, th
misuse of toeutral flags by Bruis
merchant vessels, which ls indiibitabl
known to the United States; seront
the contraband trade already mei
Honed, especially war materials, o
neutral vessels.
"Regarding the latter point. Ge;
many would tain hope that the Units

come to a conclusion correspondit
to f>r spirit if r-ai aestr&my. R
