GERMAN COMMAND ] HAD HIGH HOPES * 1 Copenhagen, July 28.?Control of j Belgium and possession of the city , of Liege was the determination of j the German command in 1917. Chan- , cellor Michaelis drew up a tentative ( plan for peace negotiations incorpor- , ating in this the demand for Liege ^ and adjacent territory and the economic union of Belgium with Germany. The chancellor, however, planned to hold Liege only provis- , ionally as a factor of security. , Field Marshal von Hindenburg was opposed to the giving up of Liege. He would hear of no talk of indemni- , ties, nor would he indicate Germany's1 intention to the enemy. . General Ludendorff was for keeping the entire Liege district in Ger- , man hands. He advised strong military pressure and the driving back of , I the British and French armies. I The German attitude was disclosed ( by declarations read by Premier ( Bauer before the Weimar assembly today when the peace overtures to j Germany alleged to have been made 'by Great Britain and France through 1 the Vatican in August, 1917, were! again the subject of discussion. As a preliminary, Dr. Herrmann . Mueller, the foreign minister, read the much discussed telegram from the British minister at the Vatican to the papel secretary of state which was referred to by Mathias Erzber ger, vice premier, in a recent speech i before the assembly, relative to a i settlement. < Mueller Reads Telegram. 1 The British telegram, not dated, J was read by Dr. Mueller as follows: j "We have not yet had an oppor- < tunity to consult the allies regard- < ino- the note received from your emi- 1 nence and are unable to answer the i THE BUSINESS Just go to any first-class busines there is for the untrained boy or He will tell you that success ia very uncertain.

I urge that each ounty be well represented, or, bet?r still, each township. "The temporary organization of lie cotton producers and allied insrests has been one of the importnt factors in bringing about an inrease in the price of cotton. The ermanent organization, erected upn the ground-work of its predecesar, will have the same effect. H "The cotton belt has never enjoy- I Ji.1. I d prosperity commensurate wim mm ther sections of the country. The H conomic and social life of the South Q as suffered tremendously because fl otton has not yielded a reasonable rofit to the producers. Some adantage, however, has now been won; , must not be lost. Our progress in ducation, roads, in general happiess is considerably dependent upon le price of cotton. "Bearing this in mind I appeal to le people of South Carolina to coperate in an effort to insure for the resent and for coming years of a air profit for the South's greatest ommodity. Organization is essen-l ial." ANGER TO HEALTH LURKS IN CANNING COMPOUNDS Canning compounds sold under vaious trade names for use in home anning are often harmful to health,' nd should never be used 'by house-1 rives, say the specialists of the Bu-j Q son nf r!Vipmi.<rtrv.
