HOKE SMITH MAKES
ANOTHER iPROTEST
Says Great Britain Does Not Pay
Georgians for Cotton
Purchased
Washington, May J4.-«enator Hoke
Smith called at the state department
again today to inquire Into the (situa
tion relating to seizure of cotton cargoes
by Great Britain.
"Great Britain is purchasing the car
goes," said the senator, "but ho far I
have heard nothing from my people stat
ing that they have received any money,
i suppose they will eventually. The fact
is that Great Britain 1b continuing tc
violate our rights and I am continuing tc
protest."
Senator Smith was asked if any' rep
resentations had been made recently by
the United States to Great Britain re
garding the situation.
"Nothing for publication yet," he re
plied.
LETTERS TO EDITOR
Some German Press Comment
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
1 have at hand an article from the
Hamburger Frcmdenblatt, a German il
lustrated paper, regarding the war. which
shows the attitude of the German press
U ward our present administration, which
may be of interest to you:
"The United States government ip now
In an awkward position. The policy of
President Wilson has apparently not
taken the English threat to destroy Ger
man trade as seriously as it was intend
ed. and has consequently offended all
parties with its measures. Lack of em
ployment is steadily on the Increase; in
New York city alone there are said to
be 300,000 people out of work, and the
troubles in Mexico and the Chlna-Jap
anese war make matters still worse. The
Germans and the Irish have turned
against the government because its atti
tude is favorable towards England. The
Americans, on the other hand, object that
the country would be ruined if the gigan
tic export of weapons, ammunition,
horses, clothing, wool and provisions had
not saved the situation. Their attitude
in the east continues to be anti-German,
but in the south there is aJso a great ani
mosity' to England because cotton can
not be exported; the west is for the most
Part pro-German. The press is no real
guide to the feeling amongst the peo
ple. The *ont1ict between China and Ja
pan. which is of such great importance
to the United States, does not affect the
people at all This shows how their polit
ical instinct is to be estimated. Presi
dent Wilson’s re-election seems to be out
of the question; the whole country will
feel it badly if they make Germany their
enemy. The day of reckoning will not
fail to come, and Germany will not be
the loser."
The above, especially the last few
sentences, tend to convey a veiled
threat to the United States in regard
to their foreign policy. As to the part
that the United States would be ruined
if they did not export weapons, ant
munition, etc., one of the greatest
newspapers in the United States came
outHvith a ful! page appeal to the citi
zens of the United States to group their
rfforts together to prevent the export
of said war material.
As to President Wilson’s re-election
i believe tine American people will dif
fer with the- Fremdenblatt. Both the
great political parties of the United
States, republicans and democrats, re
uli/.e what a cool head there Is in
Washington, and the success of his sec
ond term seems almost assured.
There is no doubt about it, that the
day of reckoning* will come and as
sure as there is a just and merciful
God above us. the Kaiser will pay for
all the atrocities against humanity.
Such depredations as the Gulflight and
Lusitania disasters will not go unpun
ished. Up until the latest disaster
there mav have been a few people who
sympathized with the German people,
but 1 feel sure that in the heart of
• very true American there arose a
spirit of rebellion when tne awful news
reached this shore. And as the Ger
ms ri press says, the day of reckoning
will come, but in the end Germany will
be the loser. Sincerely yours,
G. W. WILSON.
Birmingham, May 14. 1915.
GLASS ACQUITTED
ON MURDER CHARGE
After a trial that lasted nearly two
days the jury in the case of Joe Bud
Glass returned a verdict on "not guilty"
of murder and the defendant was dis
charged. The case was tried in the first
division of the criminal court, before
Judge H. P. Heflin, Assistant Solicitor
Walter Brower and James Davis repre
senting the state, and James Barton, the

The killing occurred on last Christmas
eve during a holiday celebration near
Grants Mill and was the result of a fam
ily quarrel. There was some doubt as
to who actually fired the shot, but after
an Investigation the grand jury indicted
Glass. All the parties concerned were
white and almost every one living in that
community was In attendance at the trial.
Apply for Naturalization
New York. May 14.—Since the sinking

time had come from Russians and that
the Germans were at the foot of the list
until recently. Now they are side by
side with the Russians, he declared.

LECTURES VETERAN!
C. G. D. Roberts Expounds
Drill and Tactics
By HAYDEN CHURCH
London, May 14. — (Special.!
Charles G. D. Roberta, famous for hij
stories of wild life, and now a captaii
in the King’s imperial regiment, quai
tered at Liverpool, described himself tc
me today as “one of the biggest bluff*
going." Looking every inch a soldier
Roberts is in London on a few Ua> a
leave for the purpose of pacifying ,»omc
of the editors and publishers who hav*
been demanding stories from him, bul
whose impassioned letters he has bed
unable to so much as answer—no:
those of friends, either, with the result
that moat of us supposed that he must
have gone to the front—and this foi
the reason, he says, that for the pad
I couple of months, or since, in Febru
ary, they suddenly made him a captain
he has been hard at it night and day
with, apparently, quite remarkable re
sults.
Roberts opines that his long expe
rience of the Canadian "backwoods,’1
where he was born, and as a leader cl
no end of hunting and other expedi
tions therein, must have formed a use
ful preparation for a soldiering life and
certain it is that his career since he
joined the army has been meteoric. He
enlisted, you may remember, as an or
dinary trooper in a squadron of the
Legion of Frontiersmen that was help
ing the remount department at South
ampton, but, only a month or so afer
ward. was gazetted a full lieutenant In
the Sixteenth King’s, and then, at only
five hours' notice, became a captain in
the same crack regiment, which has a
distinguished history, and whose first
battalion has given a fine account of
itself at the front.
All the time, moreover, in the inter
' als of drilling, he has been saturating
himself with military lore, with the re
sult that he recently was chosen to de
liver lectures on tactics to the men in
training, and does so a couple of times
a week, apparently with complete suc
cess.
“But I’m a terrible bluff, really,” he
observed to me with a chuckle. “There
I stand up and expound tactics aid
formation and such like subjects—I,
who have never even seen a battle—to
men with South African and Afghan
medals, and with my brigadier, a C. B.,
in the chair, and somehow I get away
with it. Between ourselves, they say
I’m one of the best lecturers they ever
bad.” And he chortle! again.
Evidently Roberts has sucreeded in
putting the fear of God into the hearts
of his men, too. despite the fact that
they are renowned as difficult to man
age. They are nearly all Irishmen
from Liverpool, and represent the
“tough” elemtn that is responsible for
most of the labor riots in that city, but
Roberts declares he gets respect from
every man Pat of them. Meanwhile, he
has been offered both a captain's and
major’s commission in the rgular army,
a considerable compliment, but de
clined both at the urgence of his col
onel In the King’s, and, in such time
as he has to spare, he sits on conns
of inquiry and takes part in court
martials. ami does other stunts re
markable to tell of a man who never
wore uniform of any kind until six
short months ago.
Hopes to Work Some Soon
None of Roberts’ publishers nor friends
need be surprised, therefore, that they
have heard nothing from him. He telli
me. by the bye, that from now on. h<
hopes to get an hour or so every day or
two to devote to fiction, though he re
marked that it would be produced “unde?
difficulties. ’ Accordingly. I told hlrr
about Ralph Stock, now a member of tht
Eighth Hampshire regiment, wtio ?s us
ing a detention cell as a workroom an?i
writing new tales of the South Seas as
graphically as cold hands and feet wil
permit, not to mention a ceaseless “ac
companiment” of mouth-organs, penny
whistles and such like instruments with
which Thomas Atkins beguiles his leisure
moments.
Meanwhile Charles Roberts’ literary
brother. Lieut. Theodore Goodridge Rob
erts (a full-length novel from whose pe?i
appears in an American magazine this
month!. Is also in this country, though
the First Canadian contingent, with which
he came over. Is now in France. He is
one of several offloere of the original
contingent., it appears, woh were kept here
to assist in getting the second lot of Can
adian warriors into shape, and is now at
Harrogate, taking a special course of
study in the new lessons of the war.
Certainly this family is going strong, in
a military sense, for Charles Roberts
tells me that his two sons, who are now
being trained at Ottawa with the civil
service battalion, have progressed so rap
idly that both have been offered commis
sions.
Big Gift of Books
What must be the biggest gift of books
on record was, it seems, presented to th*
men of the British navy by a famous
Liverpool shipowner on Christmas last.
The story of this gift, which was kept out
of the papers at the time by the donor's
own wish, has now been made public
owing to his death which occurred a day
or two ago. He wu Frederic a. Harri
son of Maer Hall. Staffordshire, a mem
ber of a well known firm of Liverpool
shipowners. and hie Christmas gift of
books to the navy totaled more than 27b,
OflO volumes. To the men on the lower
deck of every ship. Mr. Harrison pre
sented bo many books, the quantity vary
ing with the size of the vessels, but, in
every case, it was "some library.” The
whole of the order was executed by a
firm which controls most of the railway
bookstalls In England, and thev were re*
sponsible for the selection of the volumes.
The number of parcels, weighing about 66
pounds each, was no less than 2478, and
the Job of forwarding these parcels tc
their various destinations was undertaken
by the sdmiralty.
Amusing Blunder
At a seaside hotel, the other day, I was
discussing authors, especially American
ones, with an attractive, and evidently
unusually well read English girl. She
was, T found, in common with many
other folk In this country, a keen ad
mirer of the novels of Robert W. Cham
bers, and waxed particularly enthusiastic
over that writer’s last romance, “The Hid
den Children."
4 80 Interesting,” she said, “all about
the Indians and their queer customs—espe
cially interesting now that the Indiana
are fighting.”
I forbore to point out to her that It is
not the "Red Indiana,” as they are known
country, that are now fighting
with the allies, but I laughed quietly
In my sleeve, a laugh that I suspect
Chambers will echo should ho chance to
read of this naive tribute to his work.
Del! Vogue Raging
The bright particular feminine star in
the literary heaven is now. so it seems,
Miss Ethel M. Dell, the author of “The
Way of an Eagle," "The Rocks of Val
pre. etc., whose sales, so I was told by
a Dookdealer, the other day. now exceed
those of W. R. Maxwell and Compton
Mackenzie, who may be said to come on
the heels of H.. C. Wells and Arnold
Bennett. The Dell vogue. In fact, seenni
to have followed that of Mrs. Florence
Barclay, who succeeded Marie Corelli,
Mies Dell Is not in “Who's Who,” and
few people seem to have met her, but I
chanced to hear, this week, that she llvee
down in Kent, near Ashford, and thgl
one of her^ brothers is a “special con
stable” there.
