Only sporadic fighting is taking place on the battle fronts, according ] to the latest reports, and almost all of : this is done by artillery. Probably the ' heaviest infantry engagement was on the lower Nida river, in southern 1 Poland, where the Austrians claim < tbey repulsed with severe losses Rus- * sian attempts to crosfc the stream at several places * 1 No victories of strategic importance 1 are claimed by either side at any place I ^ and no repulses are announced by any ( * o fthe war chancellories. In fact, the situation everywhere 1 Y remains virtually as it has for some i t r ume past Rain and mud hamper attempts at ^ manoeuvre by armies in the low lying I lands, while in the Vosges snow has almost stopped the severe attacks and 1 counterattacks that prevailed last 4 week when the French were trying to v gain additional ground in Alsace. 1 The Austrians charge that the Russians are using Austro-Hungarian uni- r forms to catch Austrian patrols. It is 1 declared the rights of belligerents will not be accorded Russians who are captured so masquerading. ^ A Berlin wireless asserts the French r dreadnought Courbet was torpedoed 1 lecently by an Austrian submarine in t the Adriatic and later was rammed by S , her sister ship, the Jean Bart, and c sank. The Jean Bart was damaged t and docked at Malta. v German aircraft again have raided c , itortnern irrance. six persuus wwc ~ Wiled in Dunkirk and the suburb ob s Malo by bombs dropped from aero- li planes. The Germans did not escape P unscathed. Three o ftheir machines a were brought down by shell fire, two d near Dunkirk and another near C Amiens. Two hostile aeroplanes ap- J proached Paris Sunday, but are reported to have fled when French air s scouts gave chase. Turkey has introduced in parlia- v ment a bill calling for an extraordi- nary war credit of $43,800,000. 1< It is announced that the Nether- o lands war loan of $100,(500,000 has v been oversubscribed. > v A news dispatch says the Italians I1 are strengthening their garrisons in ? the Aegean islands and that the is- I lands are heine stronely fortified. a A news dispatch from Berlin an- i nounces that the sentence of death im- ? poBed on Private William Lonsdale, i an English soldier prisoner, for at- c tacking his guards, has been commuted to 20 years' imprisonment. t Athens' reports that the contem- t L plated movement of the Eighth Turk- o FT) Ish army corps from Damascus to the t j / Egyptian frontier has been abandoned.

Governor Blease explained this action in the order, stating that the arising of differences between the secretary of war and the secretary of the navy and Adjutant General Moore, on one side, and himself on t he other, prompted hiiii to Hake this step. These differences, said the chief executive, resulted in serious breaches of discipline in the militia corps. "The present governor of the State of South Carolina is of the opinion that it would be unfair and unjust on his part to turn over to hf.B successor in office the militia of South Carolina in its present condition," the order I iead. Governor Blease expiessed the opinion, in the order, that J&outh Carolina had made a mistake in becoming a part of the National Guard under what commonly known aa the Dick law. About 3,000 men are effected by this order, who are organized into three militia regiments, four divisions of coast artillery and various hospital / and .sanitary corps. The militia1 was commanded by Adjutant General W. W. Moore, of Barnwell, whose official position is not affected by the executive order. Governor Blease, however, was commander-in-chief, ex-officio,. of . the militisi, the three militia * regiments were commanded by offieers with the rank of colonel. General Wilie Jones, of Columbia, was brigadier-general of the South Carolina corps. Headquarters of the first infantry regimeni; were at Yorkville; of the second regiment at'Columbia, and of 1:he thirc. at Charleston. Coast artillery corps division)? were located at Charleston, Sullivan's Island, Beaufort and Georgetown, ^nd each had an approximate strength of 60 men and officers. The three infantry regiments had enlisted strength of about 1560 men each, commanded each by about 50 I officers. , Friction which Governor Blease referred to In his order disbanding the militia corps arose about two years ago, and, according to reports ol! the adjutant general, resulted in a marked decrease in discipline o:t the troops. The cause of this controversy be tween Governor aiease ana .aajiuam. General Moore was said to have been the result of the refusal of the governor to sign certain orders and official papers presented him by the adjutant- general. The secretary of war and the secretary of the navy became ]partle3 to this controversy, according to official statements, when the matter of accounting for about $100,000 'worth of federal property these federal departments claimed had been lost and destroyed by the militia organizations was held up. An accounting of this property waB begun about a year ago and was a few weeks i.go completed, ?ind the completed reports were said today to be prepared for the signature of Governor Blease. Tensity of the situation between tbe adjutant general's office and the offices of secretary of war and secretary of navy, on one side, and oi' Governor Blease, on the oiJier, was greatly increased last summer when the governor refused to permit the militia troops to participate in the annual encampment, ordered by the chief of the division of militia affairs, at Governor's Islar.d, New York. This action of Governor Blease, according to statements from the adjutant general's office resulted in appropriations by congress aggregating about 000. for maintenanc 3 and equipment1 of the South Carolina militia being held ud bv the war department pend ing settlement of these differences. While this controversy involving State and federal military officer3 was at its height last summer, the 'war department ordered the disbanding of j several companies of militia, which were declared, following annual inspections, to be inefficient. Thought definite information could not be obtained today, it was understood that these companies were never disbanded, through, it was said, refusal of Governor Blease to sign the disbandin gorder. Adjutant General Moore, in his report to the general assembly convening here tomorrow, stated that the militia corps of this State, with few exceptions were inefficient, and in a Long Cane. The sad news was received here, on Wednesday of the death of Mr. M. J. Ellis, of Atlanta: He Is the father of Mr J. M. Tllis of this community and is v-ell known here, having lived with his son Mr. J. M. Ellis for a few years. He has many friends who iWill be sorry to learn of his death. Mr. W. D.
