No action can be taken; 7 the Council of Defense on a-j rnymous communications as amat-j r of course. If there has been dis-' I yalty in speech or action which is come to the attention of anyle in South Carolina, the State 5uncil of Defense feels that paiotism would require that such disyalty or treasonable utterances be ported as a matter of duty, not lonymously, but over the signature the person who seeks to protect s country by making the report, is assured by the State Council Defense that when such reports e received, and signed by the perns makinc the same in erood faith. imes will be kept in abs^ute conlentflT without any embarrassing sclosures. OW THE KAISER READS THE TWENTY-THIRD PSALM (By Kenneth L. Rob?r?s) 1. The Lord is my opsWi. par tic ur German shepherd; T shall 4iot ant, though a few of my subjefcts ay suffer temporary inconvenience 2. He maketh me to lie down in ppn nnst.nres. formerlv the pro :rty of Belgium, France. Rouman, Russia and Serbia, but now my vn, because I have been allowed to ? there. He leadeth me beside the ill waters of the Dardanelles, wbich ivill keep forever after. 1 * 3. He restoreth my soul, but j ys nothing about restoring the de-l; istated portions of France, Belgi-j. n and Serbia, so I can'u be ex-| ;cted to do it. He leadeuh me in \ ie paths of righteousness for His ime's sake, thus,, showing that' iose who consider my glorious ;eds to be wrong are hopeless idis. If He leadeth me in the paths1 : righteousness, there can be nothg wrong in killing ' women and lildren and encouraging ray brave oops to acts of frightfulness in or;r t<j make my enemies respect me.' 4. Yea, though I walk through' le valley of the shadow of death,; wil! fear no evil, for thou art with e, Thy rod and Thy staff they >mfort me, and my mailed fist and I y shining sword do the rest. 5. Thou preparest a table before e in the presence of mine enemies r giving me the Russian wheat ;lds through the folly of the Bol leviki; Thou anointest my head ith oil by giving me the JRoumann oil wells; my cup runneth over, lough not as much as it will when have imposed my will on the foul id traitorous Americans. 6. Surely goodness and mercy lall follow me all the days of my fe, and I will dwell in the house : the Lord forever. If I find anyie else trying to crowd in with me, 11 use my influence to have him ink without trace. FIREMEN WANTED.

COLLEGE STUDENTS FORCE , ! FOR PATRIOTIC SERVICE s j ' 1 ' To the College Students of South c J Carolina: a y Columbia, May 22.?The State i j_ Council of Defense realizes that the t several thousand college students of ? the State will this summer consti- t tute a powerful force for patriotic s ^ service, if the efforts of each is ear- 'c nestly applied to the work he or she 3 is best fitted to do. I am, there- s fore, writing this letter to make c some suggestions as to how you 1 ^ can be of value to your country. * When you return home you will s find that all over the State there is a shortage of labor for many pur- 1 poses. The carrying on of the in- c dustries of the country u^on an ef- * ficient basis is necessary to the win- i ning of the war. Crops must be r I made, grain harvested and threshed, c >- fruit and vegetasleb must be gath- 1 is ered and canned 'or packed, and all 1 n activities in the home, in the fac- c i- tory and upon the farm, must be i- made to function in as nearly the 1 it normal way as possible. * ,r Those of you who have not al- 1 y ready secured employment should c go home prepared to take up what- e a | ever worK you are Dest ntted to do * n there. Your parents will rejoice at r i- this attitude, which will lighten the i: i! heavy burdens that many of them v o are now bearing. ' e All the young men of England t i- and France are now serving in the I e armies and those of America are r being called as rapidly as they are ( it needed. Meanwhile, each and every s one should feel that he is already f a in the service of the Government t and should place his effort where it tl ; will contribute most to the success e - of our "Nation at war.

There is still some j ecret German propaganda being ckw > :ulated among the people.

This is a war of wrong agantft ight, of slavery against freedom, 7> >f the forces of darkness against he forces of light. The concentrafc;d. energies of the Central Powen ? *'t nust, and will, be defeated by tke :oncentrated energies of the Allies. ["he energy of the United State has lot yet been fully concentrated. It onsists of the individual force of % iach citizen of our Republic. Hie ? ength of the war will depend apoa , he degree of concentration of tibia '4 nighty force. If only 90 per cent. if the effort of our people is directid toward the winning of the war, vnne iu per cent is iaie or misaiected, the war will last longer tfcaa f the entire effort of the Nation vere thrown into the balance. S* iach idler will be responsible for he death of some of our men is France. If you can assist in car ying this idea to everyone in South. Carolina, you will have done a great ervice for your Government and .-f. or humanity. . .v Will you do your part? I know he answer which must come from -> , ach patriotic youn Carolinian.
