^ question is whether we will live in
a free country governed by ourselves
or in one owned and controlled and
ruled by the Kaiser. There is only
one country worse than Germany and
^ that is hell itself, and if I had my
choice as to which one to live in, as
long as the Kaiser is in Germany I'd
rather be in hell.
"Our forefathers went to war 150
years ago for our freedom and won
It, and if that hadn't been, we would
have been in this war three years
before when Canada and other British
territory went in. The frustration
of the Kaiser's plans by the
French in the battle of the Marno
kept us out of the war for the time.
People fail to realize the ser'ousness
of the situation by reason of the fact
that we are 3,000 miles away, but wo
are nearer to France today than
Germany is?only seven days and
seven nights?and Germany has been
four years trying to get to France."
"We have met here today," Colonel
Gaston continued, "not to call
for volunteers; ten million men were
registered for service under the seloeHtfA

day. Will It take longer to raise a .
few million dollars to back them up?
The man is no sport who will not put
up four or five hundred dollars to win
a good fight?he's a four-flusher.
Many men would put up that much .
on a baseball game if they had it.
So, to put it on the lowest level,
every man should take $500 worth f
of Liberty bonds, Just to say that he n
had a part in the winning of the war.
"We will pay all we have in defense,
before we pay one cent in tribute
to Germany."
Colonel Gaston told of the atrocities
practiced by the Germans in
^ Belgium and France, the bayoneting
and crucifixion of babies, the ruin of
womon, and destruction. He spoke ,
of the German spy system in America
and illustrated the part the
American women are taking in the
war with the story of how Von
Papen was trapped by a young lady
stenographer. He asked the people
to buy Liberty bonds as an evidence
of loyalty and willingness to support p
the men in Khaki who represent us
on the battle lines. . y

>lr. Kluttz's Address. 1
Hon. Whitehead Kluttz, of Sails- 1
jury, N. C., and Washington, was (
ntroduced by Colonel Springs as "a
nan direct from headquarters, a
nere youth, who was honored by the
>eople of his own State who elected ]
llm speaker of the house of reprelentatives
of North Carolina, and
vho now is connected with the Demrtment
of ^3tate, at Washington."
Mr. Kluttz said it was a great
>rivilege and pleasure to come back
o Carolina. "All the way down here
rom Washington," he said, "my
leart has been singing: 'I'm
;wine back to Dixie.' I know South
'arolina will do her full duty in this
rar as she has done in every war beore.
South Carolina was the first .
State to come up to her full quota in
led Cross membership, rising from
14,000 members to 49,000 mem- '
>ers; the Y. M. C. A. war work al- 1
otment for South Carolina was (
1200,000 and she subscribed $209,- '
00; the last liberty loan was over- '
subscribed six million dollars. s
"The German's trust is In the '
woru, nis creea is tnat Might Makes
tight. The theory of the German (
lovernment is that a government
leeds no conscience but can do any- ^
hing necessary to win the war, no
natter how evil or how horrible.
Jnderatanding this creed we can unlerstand
how Germany blocked the (
fforts at the Hague peace confer{
ince to disarm and bring peace to
.11 the world.
"The Liberty loan is not a gift to ; ^
he government?it is the best in-i
'estmcnt in the world; a gilt-edge
nvestment. The corporation of the ^
Jnited States with untold wealth is ,
?ehind It. Unless we back up the.
nen who have gone ocross, there will j ^
?e nothing to worry about because
Inierlca and Americanism will be no
nore. I know those boys will not
ome back to point the finger of
corn and say 'you did It?you con-1
ributed to our defeat by refusing
o buy liberty bonds and to support:

preparations so vast and so efficient
hat the record should shame the
avilier and silence the partisan.
The speaker reviewed these preparitions
briefly and appealed for oneless
of purpose to win the war. "The
nembers of a household do not tight j
ane another when a mad dog is attacking
them. The commander of
>ur destroyer fleet spoke for a navy
worthy of Jones and Harry when he1
answered the English commander:
We are ready now.' He spoke for
he army, the government and the]
people who have vindicated the etfi-'
;lency of a democracy in war.
"Since Bismarck uttered his hrual
epigram, 'blood and iron' has been
the shibboleth of Pmooio a
tlon born of battle and growing by
conquest, Germany's unmoral philjsophers
have taught her to worship
war as the brlnger of all good. She
tias forgotten the book which says:
They that take the sword Bhall persh
by the sword.'
"The Prussian creed is this: 'I
aelieve in a state freo from all restraint
of conscience and owing no
iuty except the ruthless pursuit of
ts own material advantage.' In the
train of that hell-born creed follow
ill the crimes of Germany. In view
if it, at least It becomes credible
.hat she has slaughtered tho innocents
like Herod, martyred the
Christians like Nero, torn solemn
ireaties in to scraps of paper, and
hat almost with a stone's throw of
:he house in which I live her accredited
representatives enjoying the
nation's hospitality conspired to
nurn our factories, sink our ships
ind murder our citizens.
"America, the nation so full of
'aith in goodness, came very slowly
o credit such things. Then she
varned us from the wide, free seas
inder peril of instant death. We
ound that she had sought to draw
VTexico and Japan into our war upon
ts while we were still neutral. Now
vo see with clear vision her full
mrpose to dominate ond enslave the |
vorhl and wo have sworn to resist
hat. purpose until the last American
alls dead.
"So It is no new faith we fight for.
t Is the same vision which led the
athers across the winter sea, that
sustained, their children at Valley
'orge. We must bleed for freedom.
Ve must v&lk the way of the Cross
o save the spirit of Christ for the
vorld, for the Cross is facing the
iWS, LANCASTER, S. C.
Crescent across No Man's Lain 1
there today.
"We are bound to win. German)
fights against the stars in thei
courses, fights to turn the world
back, not an hear toward the daylight
as we did the other day, but :
thousand years toward the dark. Wf
shall win because we have u great ^
leader, a man sent from God to save
America from Prussian slavery and
to lead mankind up that steep way
which leads to the exaltation of nation?the
Hon. Woodrow Wilson."
In conclusion. Mr. Kluttz said he O
came down here to bring inspiration,
"but I have gotten inspiration." he
said, "and when I go back to Wash
IURi.vu ? siiuii carry me information
that Lancaster county and South
Carolina are heart and soul in this aj

"Dixie'' and "The Marsellaise," by tc
the band brought the crowd quickly
to their feet and the cheering ri
lasted for several minutes. After ai
the two selections so excellently ren w
(lered by the band, Colonel Springs
introduced to the audience Lieut. 1,1
Dael, of the French army, now at
Camp Greene. In presenting Lieut, j n)
Dael, Colonel Springs said "Never jc(
has there been a moment when vv
America failed in love and devotion tl
to our sister Republic of France. Hut P'
for the fight France has made the P*
heel of the Hun would not only have c<
been on France, but on England and 111
America." ,

Lieut. Dael, a typical Frenchman.
was especially pleasing in his address.

nno iiaiviiea to Wild rapt at- a
tention and frequently applauded, *1
He spent three years at the front, ei
and he said he was "glad of the op- "
portunlty of coming here because it JJ'
gives nte a chance to tell you of '
what is going on?what my people n
are doing for you and what we ex- 8<
pert of you. We are proud to be tr
fighting once more with the American
soldier. We are lighting a good
cause, and we want you to come and 81
help us as soon as you can. l)o not
waste time?you see what is going
on. But there is no reason to he
alarmed in reading the news. At the fc,
beginning of the war France, with a ol
population of 35,000,000, mobilized si
7.000,000 men.. America has over ti
a hundred million. 1 am not going M
to insist?Just think it over and see c'
what you can do. In spite of what ^
we have done, we are strong? .
stronger than ever. France is not
white-bled. I)o not come too late n
?hurry to give the German the w
good licking he deserves." b
Lieutenant Dael told of life in the ci
t ri'ncnes, now tno men of Franco and [<
the men of America are living and
what they do. Ho revealed a secret,
n:
saying that he caught 37 "cooties" c
one night?all his own and that
there were seven million soldiers tl
there and if each had 3 7 "cooties'* h
of his own, there were many of them o
there.
"You're helping us with your ^
boys," lie said, "some in training, ^
some fighting at the front. Hut it's
not all we expect of you?-you can
help us with money, by buying Lib- ^
erty bonds, and you will help your Sl
country and yourself." lie spoke of li
the sanitary conditions of the camps b
and the trenches, which he described C
as good, saying "the only risk the
boys run at the front is the risk of
war. It is wise that I am here to
tell you of French warfare. We p
paid the price of inexperience at the j,
beginning of the war, and don't *
want you to pay." f<

Any plan whereby the retailer may

Columbia. April 9.?In planting war \

fnited States Food Administrator, Is:
"Plant what you will be able to use,
ot what you think you may be able
3 sell."
There has probably never been a ''
me since the South was blockaded
uring the War Iletween the Sections T
rhen it has been so vitally necessary
sr the people of South Carolina to 1 \
oncern themselves about the quea- '
Ion of food supplies, not only that i
be soldiers fighting In Kurope and T
tie Allied sold ers and peoples may be
9d. but, because of the unsatisfactroy
jod situation, that they may not suf- ^
sr at home.
Food production during the coming

irmfir for their very best efforts, and f

lean that the customer would either u
ill at or send to the store, pay cash

te goods home with him. In the

f course, be deliveries made. j 0
