ALLIED OFFENSIVE IS ALL
PLANNED IF GERMANS BALK
Paris, June 17.?If Germany refkses
to sign the peace treaty, the
alSed armies will launch immediately
one of the greatest and most de
emre campaigns in history.
While the public generaly is incSmed
to think of an advance into
Germany under present conditions
as little more than a triumphal paxade
in which no resistance will be
set, Marshal Foch has been obliged
te be prepared for an emergency.
The allies would move forward with
overy detail worked out for a campaign
extending from the Dutch to
tte Swiss frontier?designed to give
Germany a death blow in the shortest
possible time?against the maxi?fnri>o
whirh the unified allied
curmand knows the Germans might
Kkrow into action in a crisis.
The allied campaign, according to
Eke highest French military critics
and authorities, would embrace the'three
great routes of invasion, de-j
signed to break down all possible j
<iefense, seize the most important
fHdts in Germany and cut that coun-j
try completely in two.
The allies' left wing, consisting ofj
Ike Belgian army, with the British!
protecting its right flank at the Co-,
legne bridgehead, would drive eastward
from Dusseldorf into the network
of railways of which Essen,!
o?e day's march away, is the center.
With the British army in posi-i
ika to execute a flanking movement I
the south should this be neces-j
my, Germany would lose at the out-j
set not only her great Krupp ordance i
aid munitions works at Essen, but>
(entirely surrounding mineral basin.
Tfess would open the way immediate- ,
Hy to Minden, where Germany has
constructed a great fortress for de- .
fending her plains from an entrance
Sfaroagh Westphalia. Without doubt
Germany would make her supreme!

PEANUT-FED HOGS.
Clemson College, June 11.?A
recent issue of the Weekly News
Notes contained an article on "Peannt.q
and Hoers" showing results of
experiments in Alabama, emphasizing
especially the fact that it is more
economical to sell peanuts thru
hogs than by direct sale of the nuts.
In discussing the question of peanuts
as a feed for hogs, D. W. Williams,
of the animal husbandry
division of the Extension Service,
expresses grave doubt as to whether
South Carolina farmers should turn
very largely to peanuts as a hog
feed. ,
"It is questionable whether it is
advisable to plant very many peanuts
for hogs this fall" says Mr.
Williams. "While hogs make very
cheap and rapid gains on this crop,
? ii_
the carcasses are greauy uiscrumnated
against on the market. Soft
drippy pork is not desirable. At
present South Carolina is producing
hogs that sell to better advantage
than those from other southen\
states. The reason is that our hogs
kill hard as a rule. It is our advantage
to continue marketing a superior
product that sells well toward the
top of the market rather than to get
a reputation for soft hogs and take
a cut in price which often amounts
to three or four cents per pound.
"Hogs will be marketed this fall
in carload lots from practically
every county in the state. Every
farmer should aim to provide at
least one or two surplus hogs for
these shipments in order to establish
a hog market in this state. Be
sure to kill enough to assure your
home supply of meat; then market
the surplus. In the future of di
versified farming in South Carolina
the hog is one of the most promising
factors."

Besides the information service I *

out of town.
A telephone has been installed, a j
desk, a filing cabinet and card in- k
dexes have been ordered for the of- ?
fice. 1
During the month, Miss Myrtle 1

stenographer and typewriter. Mr. D. |c

typewriting, and James Coleman has c
drawn an excellent map of the coun- ^

tricts have chairmen, they are: Mrs. *

Joe Link, Bethia: and Miss Verna c
Carlisle, Lowndesville.
Many interesting things have hap: ^
pened: There is the case of a little c
boy who was attracted to the Homej*
J Service Office by a German helmet L
: that is on exhibition here, and who
j asked if the Red Cross would write j
| to "Uncle Sam" and find out if he
j could get a helmet as a trophy.
I The absolute faith of the little boy
j prompted the Secretary to write to
j Washington to see it it was at alii
! possible to secure a helmet for the'
j boy. The boy also asked for a job j
j saying that he had two jobs but theyj
I did not pay him anything. One job,
j was to wash dishes, and the other ^
| was w carry xus aunvs ainner to ner
I at the mill, so he offered to sweep up
j the Red Cross rooms and cut down,
| the weeds in the back.
; This boy is beneficiary of anything1;
the Red Cross has, as he has, as he|
stAted it, "A Uncle in France." It]
is needless to say the job of sweep-!
ing and chopping weeds was given j
him, and we are sure he will eventu-j
ally get a German helmet from "Un-|
cle Sam." II
Another case is that of a negro j
soldier who came to the office and
| said his wife was about to run away
j with another man, and he wanted
I to borrow $10.00 from the Red Cross
to follow her if necessary. S
The man is not without friends, i|
and employers, but at just this par-J
ticular time he did not have a cent,|
and he did not care to expose his,
family troubles to any one but the1
Red Cross. The man was loaned the
$10.00 and his note was taken for
I
the amount. He came in today totell
me that his wife was at home and
they were very happy.
The most pathetic case of all, so
far, is that of the crippled soldier j
who was in town recently. This was
a new and peculiar sample of the
ci*uel effects of war, and one that excit.pH

if the commission, told of the policy
idopted by the commission in contracting
sections of the State highvay
system with federal aid.
Major Thomas said that the pubic
was familiar with the State sys;em
of roads which the highway comnission
had agreed upon, and knew
hat this State highway system had as
ts purpose linking all the county
leats in South Carolina, putting a
food State road before the doors of
is many citizens of the State as poslible,
and providing adequate outets
to centers of travel in other
states. The State's highway system,
is approved by the commission, com>rises
approximately 3,000 miles of
oad. Of this total 458.57 miles, or
.5.28 per cent, had oeen constructed

[2 counties had availed themselves
I
>y this date of all or parts of their I
illotments of federal aid for contracting
links in the State highway
ystem.
With reference to the policy adoptid
by the State highway commission,
klajor Thomas said:
"In building the State highway
ystem with federal aid the State
lighway commission has determined

"The commission will see that the,

some local material as this is a factor
which mast be controlled by the
amount of money available for use
on any particular stretch of road."
Major Thomas pointed out the
close analogy between a railroad and
a highway. He said that in this
State there are railroads - located
three-quarters of a century ago, the
roadbeds of which occupied the same
locations determined by the first engineers
who worked on them. These
engineer made the grades low and
the locations the best obtainable, al
though they did not provide many
permanent drainage structures.

With the increase of traffic and
