AI'JJIL .H ON Til OF WA KS With one exception ail the greater warn In which the United Staten took pert began in April. The wsr of the Revolution began April 19,1775, the second war with Great Britain June 18, 1812, the conflict with Mexico April 24, 1846, the war between the state? April 15, 1801, the .Spanish-American war April 21, 1898. The Black Hawk Indian war and Sabino, Indian disturb ances also began In April.' It was on April 21, 1014. that American sailors und marines landed at Vora Cruz. . ad in April. 1916, American troops were in Mexico and there was a se rious situation In our relations with Germany. Of the twenty-two wars, or near wars and hostile expeditions which usually are listed hilder the head of '.American wars," i,r. \ess than wight bogan In this important month. Yet there probably is In all this no cause to seek a mysterious reasrn for the fav orltlfini shown hy Mars to one month of the twelve. It is just u coincidence ard does not suggest that Americans should ho any mora careful in April than In any otho r month to avoid trouble. The causes of the fighting that began In April. In several periods of the country's history. wer<> scatter ed all through the calendar. EFFICIENCY'S RESULT Nearly two years ago three hugo Herman armies started for Paris, and the "eillcienoy" of the system was shown in the ordor sent to a restau rant in the big city for the Kaiser's dinner on a specified day. Ono army marched against the fortress of ver dun and Toul and Longwy, and still nnoth'T through Luxembourg, and. still 'mother through Relgium. The enormous cannon . taken' from *.h? crown prince, to bia ?ta read thrash f Belgium have been returned to him.j but Verdun stands; the Kaiser'.", Oin-1 ner nv/alts him. and the net result ls the ruin of Belgium, which was not even accused of being more thnn a ???ympnthetlc bystander. THE LITTLE THINGS. A 'business mon of the etty related to us yesterday a little story that has afforded us no little pleasure, and as he did not make any Beeret of it if you'll Blt d?wn" librera'nllffutc we'll tell you about lt.. ti? "You know whnt's a fact," said Mr. Business Man, "this 1B a pretty dog gone good old world; and little thingB happening every doy-little things that really make life worth living-that you 'Hover hear a word about? So! In cidentally, I drqpped ttl to see a friend of mino yesterday who .bas been sick for some duys, and during our con versation ho made this remark; 'Old man, 1 wish I knew howto'* express my appreciation of ,t.ho ,many, little, courtesies thnt Imye been shown mo hore, especially the consideration that hos been given me by the operators at tho telephone office. Take that telephone on the wall thero'and ordi narily lt rings like a fire bell. Slnco I have boen -sick, and without oven mentioning lt, it rings with'a faint little tlng-a-llng, and just once. And that is not all. The^ other afternoon we made several unsuccessful attempts to locate our physician. He could not be found. Central, a few minuses later, bandied a call from him to an other party and Immediately called us, tolling us whore ho was.' "And 'central.' we suspect, ls doing little kindnesses and showing her thoughtfulness tn this manner many times every doy, though the busy world Joga along and seldom ever thinks of it. or stops <6 thank her." But it ia not to be wondered at, for niter all life" ls made up of the Httlo things-a ?nd word, a smile, a flower, a cneery" greeting on the street-nnd you'll never know how much even tho Rmnllst favor may be appreciated!

Tnnsmuch as the roajdrlty of the merchants of the city have agreed to clo?o their places of business at an earlier hour during the summer motttbs, at 6:30 during the month ot May, lt has been suggested that they display a neat Mtle*oaW in the win dovrs and run a line In their newspa per advertising reading something like this: This store closes at 6:SO. p. ni: Along about tels boar lt is pleasant to adroit' around towt? and to shop, and ? great many people choose this time to make, purchases that could just as easily. be attended to earlier, not thinking that they a r o tims d epr i vin g others of a little outing equally s$im portant, and which bas been well earned.

Ile expects to IM? oui again In the next few days. Those who happened to be standing around the hotel lost night saw nn automobile climb up on the sidewalk and have a collision with the brick wall of the hotel building. Mr. Bar ney O'Donnell drovp his Ford up to the curbing, but lt seems that when he got ready to atop, he speeded up the car Instead of putting' on tho brakes. The car went right ahead and tried to knock a hole in tho brick wall. No damage was done to either the car or thc hotel building. -o It Is of Interest to note that the first city primary in Columbia will be held on May 16. the same date that the pri mary will be held In Anderson. Those who have not put their names on the club rolls for the coming pri ory only have four mor.e days to at tend to this matter. The books will close on the 10th. and no one will be allowed to enroll after that date. -O Manager Trowbridge yesterday re ceived a lotter from the managers of the ''Birth of a nation," stating that he could inform the people that Hie picture and company which would come to Anderson would be the same company that played in Charlotte, At lanta, Birmingham and New Orleans.

The momentous question "breeches : or skirts" which threatened the very life of the 'American Woman's League for Self-Defense, the first organisation Of Its kind to be formed in this country, is decided. It ls not either breeches or ?hirts, hut both. AU the 100 girls, ranging In age from 7 to 72, who belong to the league, on which ever, side they may stand-bifurcated or otherwise-are going tb be happy. The matter was settled la private. There; will never again be a public , discussion .of the Question. . . . .The .organisation has been .divided Into two sections, infantry and caval ry, with dl&;[net uniforms-soldiers on foot, skirts, soldiers on horsfc, breeehes.

ONE OF WAR'S HORRORS IS THE LACK OF DYES PROOF AGAINST WATER Atlanta. .May r>.-If you-mau or woman-get caught In th? rain and find that the color nins pr fades in your new suit, be a sport and don't complain to the tailor or merchant you got lt from. It can't be helped -lt's one of tho horrors of war. The Natl.mal Association of- Cloth iers has Just sent (?ut a statement,| which has been received in Atlanta, warning all purchasers that colors in garments can no longer be guaran teed, and "they must learn to accept I thc situation as one over which no) mill, manufacturer or retailer can exercise control." The American output ol' aniline dyes is still far too small to supply the lack of German dyes'. And some of the American anilines, because of tho undeveloped state of the industry and the haste with which manufac turers have tried to meet the demand, are inferior to tho "fast" German | dyes. Eventually the trouble will be end* ed by the renewal of imports or by the adequate response of tho Ameri can dye Industry. Meanwhile I there's nothing for the consumer tc | do but grin and bear it*. "Surely" suggests the clothiers, "the American public can be trusted to meet this i condition cheerfully, if everybody ls| frank about lt." -? * LETTERS UNCALLED FOR + + ? * ? * ?"9-**+?***++*+****** Following ls the Hst of letters re maining uncalled for in tho post of fice at Anderson, S.

"The German people know that the government of the United States Iras power to confine the war to armed forces of belligerent coun tries, in the Interest of humanity and maintenance of International law. The government of the United States would have been certain of attaining this end had it been determined to insist against Great Britain, on con trovertible rights to freedom of the seas, but as matters stand the Ger man people are under the impression that the government of the . United States while, demanding that Ger many, struggling for existence shall restrain from use of an effective wea pou and while milking .compliance with, these demands, a condition for maintenance of relations with Ger many, confines Itself to protests against illegal methods adopted by Germany's* enemies. Moreover, tho German people knows to whit con siderable extent Its enemies aro sup plied with all kinds cf war material from tho United States. "It will, therefore, bo understood that the appeal made by the govern ment of the United States to senti ments of humanity and principles of international law cannot ryuler the circumstances meet the same, hearty response from the German people which such an appeal other wise alwayj is certain to find hero. If, the Gorman government, never theless ls resolved to go to the utmost limit ot concessions. It bas boen guided not alone by friendship In connection between the \two great nations for over one hundred yea -s. but also by the thought of the great doom which threatens the entire civ ilized - world . should the cruel . and :.angulnary war be extended and pro longed. "Tho German government, con scious of Germany's .strength twice within the last few months his an nounced-before the world Its .readi ness to make peace dh. a basis, of safeguarding Germany's vl'tal Inter ests thus Indicating that lt Is . not" Germanys fault if pence Is . still withheld from the nations.of Europe.

"As far-as Hes with German gov ernment, it. wishes to privent things from inking stich course. Tho Ger man government, moreover, ls pre-, pared to do its inmost to confine its operations of. war for rest ot its dur ation to the fighting forces of the bel ligerents, thereby also insuring free dom cf the seas, tho principle, opon which the Gorman; government be lieves, now as-beforo, that It *<? in agreement with ? government bf the United States.
