is due to inability to adjust thetnelvcs

efore January 1. 1919.
The Battle for Paris.
The big drive now on toward Paris i
oks extremely serious to people on
lis side of the water: but experts in
ondon and Paris do not seem to bo
ry greatly disturbed.
The German attack is said to be '
noeceding on a basis of a division of
out 14.000 men to every 2.000 yards, i
id up to Saturday, about fifty of
icir divisions, including approximate700.000
men, were engaged. It was
timatod that the (lennans still had
out an equal number in reserve.
Although the Germans had reached J
ie Ma me river, it is pointed out that i
icy have not been able to cross, and '
is believed that General Koch has '
ong the Maine a sufficient number of ,
serves not only to hold the invaders i
ick: but probably enough to eripiile ;

BATTLE FOR PARIS.
Kate of the French Capital is Now

Tin- iJcnnans have reached tl
Maine river ana art now wnuo,
hammering at the gates of Paris, cv<
more seriously than in the fall of 1 ! 1
when Von Kllick's army all but ca
t tired the French capital.
The dispatches of the past \ve<
have not been very comprehensiv
The.v have indicated very clearly th

Now t appears that as the result

Monday of last week, the Hernial
have made almost uninterrupted pr
uress to the Maine river, a distance
more than twenty-live miles from tl
starting point. They have apparent
cajitured forty-live or fifty thousat
prisoners, innumerable guns and mi
itnry supplies of all kinds, and tin
are within less than fifty miles
Paris.
The drive was made over a front <
thirty miles, from Koissons on tl
west to Uheims on the east, down
'bateau Theirr.v on the Marne to tl
soutIt. Soissons was captured early

had captured a number of fortillci

Uheims. the city itself hud not falle
Ten more or less important towns a
included in the territory already ove
run h> the Hermans.
This last big offensive appears
have been attempted With all the el<
meiits of a surprise, and a most ii
-adonis surprise at that. With the o|
posing forces spread out over a lit
extending from Flanders to Svvitzc
laud, and the hulk of the allied ri
serves disposed so as to he with
pee*iv reach ot such poiiitasllie He

ihrealen. the big battle was eon
m< in c<i with a comparatively uuin
( ortaiit thrust on a portion of the lit
that was not considered especial

The Herman attack on the origin
line was commenced near t'raonne, c
the Aisiic river, with only sis or sevt
liVI.MOU.-. These ll.'lil lieeii io||e< litra
ii in woods on the north bank of tl
Xisiie and the concent ration had m
attracted the serious attention of tl
allied airmen. These divisions push<
forward over the allied lines with In
ibelii check, one wave coming aft)
mother, and other Herman divisioi
following close Into the gap. the Allii
gave hack steadily, losing many thoi
sands of prisoners.
It is said that the Hermans mat
larger use of g?.s shells than In ar
previous battle, and that the allic
troops were overwhelmed for mar
miles in the rear. But it is not to I
understood that the Gertnan advant
was unresisted. The Invaders pai

There was no speech making or other -V
ceremony?just a good, substantial din- K
nn. admirably prepared and delight- f(
fully served.
After the veterans had assembled in 11
the dining room, Kev. K. E. (iillespie, el
in a few well chosen words, gave s
them an appropriate welcome in the .,
name of the Winnie Davis chapter,
and then invoked divine blessings on
the occasion and on the food. ii
It was a remarkably simple dinner. t-,
fully in keeping with the food conser- .,
vat ion of the American people, and at
the same time it was worthy of being ?'
called a feast. It began with a de- y
lightlul course of soup, followed by
beef stew, rice and gravy, boiled Irish
potatoes. There was lightbivad and ''
biscuit, tea and coffee, with ice cream D
and cake for desert. There was a Sl|

HERE AND THERE ,r
Vork county people generally will be "
interested to learn that the 118th in- ,J
fantry, stationed at Camp Sevier since t<
last summer, and which left Green- 0|
vllle not quite a month ago, along jr
with other organizations of the 30th
division, lor overseas service, lins arrived
safely. The 118th infantry in- D
eluded more than 300 York county \
boys, most of whom were from the n
vicinity of Fort Mill and Rock Hill,
though every section of the county is
well represented in the regiment. Rel- s:
utives of many of these York county c
soldiers have received cards during the s-,
past week announcing their safe arrival.
Writing to a friend in Yorkvillc, one '*
of the Yorkvillc boys who was includ- J.
ed in the special draft to Clemson eolIcfe
not long ago, mentioned an incideit
illustrating the eternal sense
of the ridiculous and of humor
thit is ever bubbling forth in the ..
An riean boy. it is understood, ol
course, that the draft referred to
wnt to Clemson principally to work, 'H
to learn mechanical tasks, etc. "Our
bile overalls were Issued to us todny," er
wltes the young fellow. "Some fit
pietty well and some don't; but that ^
dees not seem to matter. They pro- jj
teit our clothes. As we formed In line
f<r drill the first time, dressed in these if,
overalls, the Clemson boys began call- ..
iig us the 'Blue Devils.'"
Jas. D. Grist, Q. M. C., X. A., Camp

he has been pluced In charge of the
publicity bmeau of the Conservation sp
li vision of tie Quartermaster* Corps at fri
Camp Sevier,and will in the future tie
engaged in isoinoling work of conser- be
ration and reneral economy among cd
soldiers at Camp Sevier. "You might
jay 1 am in tie newsp-per game again ,ja
instead of stldiering," said Mr. Grist, vj,
in speaking if his new work, yesterday.
"It is ny Job to drive home to .
the soldiers.in training the fact that ^
it is just as mportant and as vital to '
the success of their country's arms ?
that they pnctice careful conservation J- "
of food and -quipuge as it is that they m
attain perf<:tlon in military science
and tactics.Iind that tliey doubly serve v'!

throughout tho long vigil of examination
and testimony taking: have crowded
the room. In closing the argument
for the defense, Thomas Williams
<|U0tcd a statement attributed to former
Ambassador Gerard In which the
ambassador told of replying to the
kaiser's threat that there were 500,000
reservists In this country with this assertion:
"Yes, and there are 500,000
lamp posts to hang them on." He declared
that the present war situation
had developed a new "unwritten law"
which had been Invoked by the men
who hanged Prager because of his alleged
disloyalty. Judge Berpreuter In
his Instructions to the Jury emphasized
that the war should have no bearing
on the case, which, he said, was
one in which a helpless prisoner was
taken from a Jail and murdered. The
presiding official had previously ruled
that the loyalty or disloyalty of either
Prager or of the defendants should
not be considered by the Jury. Thirteen
days weie consumed in landing 12
men acceptable for Jury service, more
than 700 talesmen being summoned.
