C. The two men lived alone in Ijuhiir ter County, S. C., the wife anil mother having died some time ago. They were tenant farmers imd decided to move from Lancaster county to a farm In Chesterfield county. They loaded their few household goods on a one-horse vvagom tied their two cows and two dogs behind the wagon and .started to their new home. When they reached Wild Cat Creek, the swift current of which they did not know, they drove in. The cows broktj the slender ropes with which they were tied and escaped. Men. mule, dogs .and wagon were swept down by the ice cold waters of the stream and the younger man was drowned. The old man reached the hank and crawled out on the land, but was so numbed by the cold that he died a few feet from the water. The dogs were drowned, but the mule escaped and a week after the men were drowned was found In Mr. George McManus' pasture with shafts and front wheels of the -wagon hitched to it. The mule was nearly dead from exposure and lack of food. The men had been dead a week before they were found and it was mere, chance that a man out hunting found the body of the older man and after the l?ody was found inquiry revealed the facts abovov. stated. The neighbors of the two men supposed that they had reached their new home In safety and the nwiicr of the farm to whU'h they won' making their wuy suppos ed that the weather was too bad for tlx* ill to move.

Beyond the cut on to allies' lines in Franco and Belgium the. military lead ers, with their armies rowdy, are ex isting the Germans to launch th^lr muehtalked-bf offensive, but there still is no outward Nlftii of its near ai> proach. Artillery duela and raldtug ^operation*! and intensive aerial actlv ity continue to feature the righting all along the front. Three successful raids against the Germans have t?een curried out by the British In Flanders and near l^ens and Arras in northern France. . In Flan ders the raid, which waft, curried out south of the lloutholst wood, resulted in the British penetrating German po sitions on a wide front, the infliction of numerous casualties and the taking of prisoners. Sixteen Germun airplanes weiv ac counted for Sunday In aerial lighting by British army airmen, and In addi tion German towns uud military posl Hons luddud the battle front were heavily houthed. British naval air men also paid a visit to the (Jerman naval and aerial hastis at Zwbrugge, which were effectively bombed, and drove down three (Herman machines that attempted to give battle. The tense political situation In Great Britain, arising from tn?? sec r?H\s sur rounding the recent supreme war council at Versailles and the retire ment of General Robertson as chief of the British imperial staff, has Imsmi bridged. Premier Lloyjl - George announced to the house of commons that It had beeii decided to set up a central an thority to co-ordlnatc MVe strategy of the allies, and that the plan subniit ' levl V>v vh?* A?>^ySt?s >?>* iW case for tin4 present proposal." was one of tho ablest documents ever submit ted to a military conference. The plan was adopted with minor changes. The Russian holshcViki government has capitulated and announced its readiness, although protestlngly, to sign a peace compact under the hard terms imposed by Germany. Notwithstanding this fact. Teutonic tropjm are advancing eastward into Russia over a front of RX) miles, from Riga in the north to Lutsk, a scant ?>0 miles from the ?us}, Galician bor der on the south. Apparently thus far the operation has met with no op position. The northern roaches of the l>vina river have been crossed by the enemy, the important railroad 'town of Dvinsk, whence roads run north eastward, to Petrograd and eastward to Smolensk, has been captured, and Lutsk, one of the famous fortresses of the Volhynian triangle and forming the gateway leading eastward to Kiev, has been entered without the Russians attempting to stay the foe. The ottlelal announcement <>f the capitulation was signed by Nlkolnni Lenine and Leon Trotsky on behalf of the j ?copies' commissaries of Rus sia. It protests against Germany at tacking a country which has declared i lit ?> a r tfi iiri on<{ and which }.??> de mobilizing its armies on all fronts, but under the circumstances, it says, the government regards itself forced form ally to declare its willingness "to sign a peace upon the conditions which had been- dictated by the delegates of the quadruple alliance at Brest-Lltovsk.'' The only indication that the enemy will meet with hindrance comes in an announcement by Ensign Krylen ko, the Rolsheviki commander-in chief. In his order he instructs the Russians . when they encounter Gor man troops to endeavor to persuade them to refrain 'front hostilities. "If the Germans refuse," he adds, "then you must offer thepu every > possible resistance." ? A? yet there is no, indkmikm from German sources concerning the full intentions of the invaders, but it has been assumed that in the north the capture of the provinces of Livonia .^Ulonia Is contemplate!, afld in the south, in little Russia, aid is to be lent the Ukranians in stemming the tide of the bolsheviki movement against them. Apparently all is still chaos in Rus Siu, ,-with civil war In progress at various points and the food situation daily growing worse. So serious has become the latter factor that Trotzky has been appointed food controller and giveh unlimited powers. Already he has ordered -the arrest ?>T specu lators In foodstuffs.

Secretary Raker says in his letter: "Since the American Red (Toss has already established in France, in accordance with an army order, a ser vice -to keep families in America In personal touch with their boys, ill or wounded in the field, it is suggest ed that this service be extended to the camps in the United States. Ameri can Red Cross representatives at the camps, here, as in France, would have access to daily lists of admissions hnd evacuations from the hospitals, and, so far as it is in accord with neces sary medical rules, would be allowed to talk with sick men. They would be expected to keep families constant ly informed as to the condition and progress of the men in the hospitals, to write letters for men unable to write themselves, and in general to fulfill that clause of the Red Cross charter which designated the society as "a medium of communication be iween troops in the field and their families at home."
