The week just closed has no lack of stirring events in the fields of the war. For the’first time in more than a century, hostile European ships are oper ating in American waters. Soon after Germany entered the war a commercial submarine entered Baltimore harbor and later that of New London. This was soon followed by an armed submarine which sank a number of Allied ships within American waters. Tins was a veiled threat-of what could be done against American shipping if we dared enter the war against Germany. Last week .one or moro submarines have sunk more than fifteen ships olf the New Jersey, Mary land and Virginia coasts.-. The area of operations have not been more than one hundred miles square. The military effect of this has been practically noth ing. Its object is to terrify the cities and shipping circles so that a part of the fleet shall be withdrawn from Europe to guard home waters. Thia submarine raid has brought home to us our great need for an adequate air plane coast patrol. In the main the submarine commander has been most humane in his treat ment of the crews and pa.-seu- gers of the captured ships. On the western front the week has been fruitful. The x German drive which promised .so much to the enemy because of the ter ritory gained has been slowed dowq by the arrival of French, and American reserves. On Sun day morning tho Gerhmns began a new drive over a twenty mile front which le nightfall imd in some places bit ten int/> tlieNAl- lied line more than two mileV At home there Is a gftfwiiiV di*:... position that the/Ailies should do some hitting as well as the Germans and capture ter ritory from 7 them. Hut a cap ture of territory is not always a victory. A victory results only when an army i,s : destroyed. German strategy aims at the de- Btruction of either a French or English army, but fails to secure anything more than a fqAv square miles of land. Russian folly has given Germany ‘superiority of man power just now. America will by theclos^ of the year s.lift tins superiority to the Allies. What Germany will aeebnqtlTsh in this war must lie done as ear- ly as possible. What she tab- to do in the ne*t three months our enemy. His troops are high ly disciplined and hardened by four years of war. They are let by officers who are skilled in the science of war. It will not do to say that they can be whippet with one hand. We have a man’s size job on our hands that wil require not only the soldiers we send to France, but the enlist ment of the people back home The time will come when the tide will turn. American troops are alreadv being thrown into, the battle. Not, however, in sufficient num hers, to turn the tide, but they are showing their metal. The American marines have for an hundred years maintained their ideal of being the finest arm of the service; They have been living up to their reputatioi The troopa-which have bejeh in tliq front line are very probably from those which had the long est training, which of course would include someregulararmy divisions. The transportation department is jutting men in Europe just a little faster than Germany felt was possible. If we can prevent Germany gaining ;! vital decision during this year the tide will come our way after that. In an address delivered last Monday at Washington, D. C., }y Secretary of War Baker to a detachment of French soldiers called “Blue Devils,” who have ieen touring the country in be- lalf ef the Third Liberty Loan and the Red Cross,n Mr. Baker made the statement that more han 700,000 American soh i rs lave sailed for France. / The Cotton Outlook, “What i9 cotton going to do tli is fall?” We pass the question up. We know that )( rose higher, a9|L. so* son than ever before, bit as a bale of cotton could my no more then than a similar bale could buy in ID 1.3, or there about, its price was deceptive. To the surprise of many it has steadily tumbled in price dur ing the hist few weeks. To others this fall was expectid. ’/This mav be partly explained by the following reasons. High grade cotton lias been eagerly sought after'. The lower grade- have been more or less of a drug oh tin* market. The pro- babilitv is-tfiat nothing but low grade cotton remains on. the market from last year's crop. Tiie~ acreage in cotton this y< ar is over 101. If you will take the highest previous acreage 1 Harry Duncan Hutto, Hilda, wh Wylis Stevenson, Near Kline, Below will be found a list of 'the young men, white and colored, who registered in Barnwell ^County last Wednesday, y The oumher Vis Vdfily about 50 per cent, of what,the govern ment estimated would become of age ] since last June.
