Spartanhurg, Oct. 9.-Special: Plans are being made, according to reports from the State Sunday school office, to extend a personal Invitation to every person in South Carolina to attend Sunday school on November 4. This is State-wide "Go-to-Sunday School Day," and will bo obsorved throughout North America as Inter national "Go-to-Sunday School Day." The increase in Sunday school at tendance last February, when the first Go-to-Sunday School Day was observed, was about 75,000. This time the slogan is: "Out for a hun 'dred thousand increase in Sunday school attendance." Interest in the day throughout the State is being aroused. Officers of the district and county associations are visiting schools and holding con ventions in order to bring about a concerted effort to make this a great day in the Sunday school history of tho State. Among the Interesting letters re ceived at the State Sunday School Association's office concerning this movement is one from Lieut. Gover nor A. J.

Mr. Bethea says: "All good citizens will be interest ed in this movement to bring into tho Sunday schools more people of the State. Our people believe In secular education, and they believe, too, In religious education. It ls gratifying to all to note the increased empha sis that is being placed by tho lead ing educators upon th? Importance of tho moral and religious elements in education. Never before have our people so generally realized that no education is complete which ignores religion, and that th? Sunday school stands alone In its distinctive pur pose of furnishing religious instruc tion to all the people. "I Appreciate the importance of this effort to win recruits to the Sunday school, and trust thal on No vember I thousands of our people who do not ordinarily attend will unite with thc schools of their choice and become identified with this edu cational and religious agency in our State."

London, Oct. 4.-According to The Standard, a policy of reprisals for German air raids has been decided upon. In an address to-day at a luncheon to presidents of the chambers of com merce of the United Kingdom, Lieut. Gen. Smuts, former commander of the expedition against German Bast Africa, said that Germany, "defeat ed on the battlefields and balked in the submarine campaign, .is now in impotent rage, striking at us through, our non-combatants, through women and children." Aerial warfare against the defenseless was the new weapon, he said, and predicted it would not only fail, but would provo to be a terrible boomerang "Applying the principle ot 'an eye for an eye, and a tooth foi t.-'or.f'. Gen. Smuts said, "we ar- most re> luctantly forced to apply to the en my the bombing policy which he has applied to ns." Continuing, Gen. Smuts said: "Last month ' 'tr naval and mili tary airplanes dropped 207 tons of bombs behind the lines of the enemy. In the same period he dropped foiir and one-half tons of bombs on Lon don. In that month we bombed him on 23 days and on lil nights, chiefly attacking his airdromes and, as the figures show, damaging Iiis machines and pitting his airdromes with shell holes. We also bombed his billets, trains, transports and railway sta tions, causing him the heaviest losses. "Allow nie to emphasize two points which 1 hope will be borne in mind when it is ultimately found that my words are not bluff, but se rious and far-reaching in their im port," Gen. Smuts went on. "Firstly, we did not begin this business of bombing industrial and populous districts. The enemy be gan thia practice, just as he began tho use of poison gas and other con traventions of international law. And we have been most reluctantly forced to follow suit after a long de lay, which severely tried tho pa tince of the Dritish public. "Secondly, I look upon theso de velopments of the arts of war as ut terly bad and immoral, and while I /do not fear them If, as in the present case, they are forced on us, yet I should Infinitely prefer that both sides should desert such cruel prac tices. We shall do our liest to av'oid German abominations, and in our air offensive against military and indus trial centers of the enemy we shall use every endeavor to spare, as far as is humanly possible, the Innocent and defenseless who In the past en Joyed the protection of international law.
