Foreign
Perhaps the most exciting election
in the history of the Japanese em
pire has just taken place. Women
took an active part in the campaign,
which is believed marks the begin
ning of a movemen for woman suf
frage in the flowery kingdom. The
wives of candidates made active can
vasses by automobile and carriage
and addressed the voters. The elec
tion was for members of the lower
house of the diet, which was dissolved
on Christmas Day, 1914, by the mi
kado because it opposed the present
cabinet ministry on its war policy with
Germany and China. It is believed
the recent election will bring enough
independents into the house to kill
the effect of the opposition and so
give control to the ministry, headed
by Count Okuma.

mally to the German government

Attorney General Gregory has in
structed the United States attorney
in Porto Rico to institute libel proceed
ings against the G arman steamship,
Odenwald, and prevent its departure
from San Juan. The Odenwald at-
tempted to sail from the San Juan
harbor without clearance papers, a di
rect violation of the navigation code,
which is generally considered punisha
ble by confiscation of vessel and cargo.
Secretary McAdoo, recuperating
President Wilson is seriously con
sidering the situation now existing be
tween the United States and England.
The British attitude toward this coun
try has been branded by the president
and Senator Hoke lith of Georgia,
who recently held an important con
ference at the White House, as "auda-.
cious, presumptuous and intolerable."
Another note is to be sent at once
regarding the neutral trade relations
wita Germany. People close to the

tween the two countries is near

GERMANS SINK TWO
STEAMERS: 150 DEAD
r
ENGLISH PASSENGER SHIPS SENT
TO BOTTOM BY SHELL AND
TORPEDO.
ENEMY'S GUNS KILLED SOME
Both Boats Tried to Outrun Pursuers
Which Caused Them to Get Less
Consideration.
.London. Upward of 150 persons
lost their lives in the sinking by Ger
man submarines of the Dempster liner
Falaba and the British steamer Aguila.
The Falaba, bound from Liverpool
for the coast of Africa, with abouc 160
passengers, was torpedoed in St
George's Channel.
The Aguila, sent down by shell Ira
of the submarine U-23 off Pembroke
shire had three passngers and a crew
of 42 and of these 23 of the crew
and all of the passengers were lost.
The Aguila also was outward bound
from Liverpool and. was en route foi
Lisbon.
An official list supplied at the office
of the Elder Dempster Stemship Com
pany, owners of the Falaba shows to at
so far as is known at present 52 first
class passengers, 34 second-class pas
sengers and 49 of the crew of the Fal
aba were saved. Four of the passeng
ers and four of the crew are reported
killed and 61 passengers and 43 of the
crew are missing.
When the submarines appeared,
both steamers tried to escape by
crowding on full steam, but the under
water boats overhauled them after
short chases and in each case the
Germans then allowed but a few minu
tes to get his passengers and crew
into the small boats.
The captain of the Falaba, who was
lost, was given five minutes to get his
passengers and crew off but, accord
ing to the survivors, before this was
possible a torpedo hit the engine room,
causing a terrible explosion. Many
were killed and the steamer sank in
10 minutes.
Trawlers rescued most of those
who were saved; others got away in
the boats. Those still on the steamer
when the explosion occurred were
thrown into the sea and it took rhe
fishermen an hour or more to pick up
those in the water who managed to
keep afloat.
The Aguila's captain was allowed
four minutes in which to leave his
ship. The submarine opened fire kill
ing a woman passenger, the chief
engineer and two of the crew. Even
after the crew had commenced to
lower the boats, according to the sur
vivors, the Germans kept up their fire
and some of the boats were riddled.

the War Department Breckinridge or
dered three batteries of the Third
Field Artillery to Brownsville, Texas,

forces fighting for possession of Mata-
moros that American lives must not
be endangered by firing across the
line. A regiment of infantry also was
ordered held in readiness at Texas
City to be moved to Brownsville if
needed.
These precautions were deemed nec
essary, although' assurances had been
given by both Carranza and Villa
agencies here that no shooting across
the line would be permitted. Secre
tary Bryan said tfltat orders had been
sent by commanders of each faction
to their troops in and about Mata
moros to see that no shots entered
American territory.

were killed by shell-fire and 10 other
men were lost.
MKbUJAUH
PASSES FROM LIFE
WIFE OF GENERAL STONEWALL
JACKSON WAS FIRST LADY
OF THE SOUTH.
MANY ATTENDED FUNERAL
Body Was Carried to Lexington, Va.,
and Laid By the Side of Her Lov
ing Husband.
Charlotte. After days and months
of lingering on the brink of the River
of Death, reaching forward to the
golden streets of the celestial city,
"and the trees whose leaves are for
the healing of the nation" as she so
beautifully wrote of her husband's
passing the noble pure, spirit of Anna
Morrison Jackson, widow of Stonewall
Jackson, "crossed over the river" at
4:20 a. m. at her residence on West
Trade street.
MRS. "STONEWALL" JACKSON.
The immediate cause of Mrs. Jack
son's death was pneumonia which was
contracted three days before. It was
the result of a cold contracted 10 days
ago while she was seated on the front
piazza of her home. Heart trouble,
aggravated by age and attendant in
firmities, were contributing and fun
damental factors. This trouble had
been occasioning her physicians un
easiness for several years but it did
not assume a serious form until about
eight months ago. Last August she
had an acute attack at Walter's Park,
Pa., near Philadelphia, and was taken
to a hospital in the latter city for
treatment. When she recovered suffi
ciently she was brought home but she
never regained her full strength al
though she undertook to atend to her
domestic and other duties until last
fall when her health again failed.
More than once since the incipiency
of her illness she had suffered at
tacks which had caused her life to be
despaired of,' but each time she had
been able to rally her resources.
Her death was very easy simply
a sleep and a forgetting." She re
mained conscious until the afternoon
before her death. In her last con
scious moments her thoughts were of
others. At her bedside when the final
moment came were Mr. and Mrs. E.
R. Preston, the latter a granddaugh
ter of Mrs. Jackson, Mrs. Laura Mor
rison Brown, sister of Mrs. Jackson,
Rev. D. H. Rolston, D.D., pastor of the
irst Presbyterian church, and the
family physician, Dr. William A. Gra
ham, a kinsman of the distinguished
patient.
The news of Mrs. Jackson's death
is a shock to the entire South, which
has cherished with sincere ardor the
helpmeet of him who in his life-time
was the powerful right arm of the
embattled Southern nation and the
idol of his soldiery. Throughout the
decades that have elapsed since the
close of the great civil conflict, Mrs.
Jackson has held unchallenged the po
sition of primacy in the affections of
this people.
Jackson, when told by his wife that
"before the day was over he would b
with the blessed Saviour in His glory,"
said, "I will be an infinite gainer to
be translated." So with the wife of
the soldier and saint, from whom he
was torn by the tragedy of war on
that bright Sabbath morning of May
10, 1863 she is "an infinite gainer to
be translated."
Mrs. Jackson passed to rest and her
infinite reward with the halo of a na
tion's love and reverence around her
bed. The South bends over her with
hearts ladened with crief and eyes
filled with tears tears such as she
has not shed since Jackson and Lee
were laid to rest in the little town in
their loved state, immortalized as
their last resting place.
Mrs. Jackson's body was taken to
Lexington, Va., and there laid to rest
by the side of her illustrious husband.
The funeral was held at 5 o'clock
from the First Presbyterian church N
and was conducted by the pastor, Rev.
Dr. D. H. Rolston. He was assisted
by Rev. James B. Smith, of Rich
mond, Va. Three favorite hymns of
Mrs. Jackson were sung. They were
"How Firm a Foundation," "I Heard
the Voice of Jesus Say," and "My
Faith Looks up to Thee." The tribute
of respect that was paid at the funeral
was one of the most elaborate and im
pressive in the history of Charlotte.
