their fire until the Americans were

right on and were on top of the guns

these things. To bo able to look the
hoys in the eye and truthfully say,
"Even as you did your duty 1 also did
mine," will make amends for everything.
The kaiser's jwace note is a grim reminder
of that circumstance in the Argon
ne forest last week, where the
treacherous Germans, sifter surrendering
sought to destroy the Americans
with hand grenades. The kaiser knows
xv-..ii i?>.,t tiie I'nited States badly
needs thai $6,000,000,000 loan that is
being asked for to pay for the preparations
that are being made to put him
out of business. He knows also that
if it is to bo immediate peace the people
of the I'nited States will not feel
inclined to put money in that loan. He
is talking pciu'e as a blind, to disarm
further aggression. If the loan falls
down American efforts will be relaxed
and he will get it respite and delay
with all the attendant favorable possibilities
for himself. If he is honest
let him withdraw his troops from all
invaded territory, announce his willingness
to make amends for all the
destruction he has wrought on innocent
jH-oples, and to give up all claim
to Alsace-Lorraine, and the Italiansjieaking
provinces that are held by
Austria. If he really wants peace he
can get it: but he will get only the
peace that the Allies propose. In the
meantime, let all good Americans buy
ln>nds.
Mr. Christie Benet was appointed to
the I'nited States senate at the pleasure
of Governor Manning without any
consultation of the people, very few
of whom knew there was a Christie
Benet until after his appointment to
the senate. When Christie Benet found
it necessary to go before the people to
ask them to send him to the senate he
gave as a reason the necessity of having
somebody in Washington who
could be depended upon to back up
the president, who would do whatever
the president wanted done. The one
great issue In the senate was the question
of submitting to the states the
ouestion of adopting a constitutional
amendment providing for woman's
suffrage. There was very considerable
division on the subject: but the president
was very anxious for the passage
of the resolution. So anxious was he,
in fact that he sent the senate a strong
message urging the adoption of the
resolution as a war measure. This was
the first and only request that the
president had made on Mr. Benet since
he has been a member of the senate:
but Mr. Benet was one of*twenty-four
"wilful men" who opposed the president
in this important matter. Although
we believe in woman suffrage,
we do not fault Mr. Benet for not believing
in it- We concede him right to
think as he pleases on that issue. But
we do fault Mr. Benet for making a
campaign on the issue of backing the
president, and then falling down the
very first time he was put to the test.
The Peace Talk.
We are all willing and anxious for
peace, of course; but we must not forget
the fact that we are Just now entering
upon the most critical situation
of the entire war.
The Allies have made tremendous
headway since the middle or Juiy ana
they are making tremendous headway
now. Old conditions have been reversed
and it is the Germanic crowd
that is now feeling the weight of superiority
of numbers, supplies and soldiership.
The Germans are whipped and nobody
is better aware of the fact than
they. They have always placed victory
on the side of the largest and
strongest armies, and they have abundant
evidence now that the Allies have
all the advantage in this respect.
But the Germans are not yet conquered,
and nobody knows that better
than the high command of the Allied
armies, and the statesmen who have
charge of the Allied fortunes.
The German armies still number
millions, well supplied with all that is
needed for war, and although they are
being driven back to their own country.
it is very well to remember that
the.v are still capable of most stubborn
resistance. They can still do tremendous
damage to the Allies.
What the Germans are after now is
the best terms possible. It is to their
vital interest to save all they jiossibly
can out of the wreck, and from their
standpoint they can afford to Incur
still further losses to that end rather
than submit to unconditional surrender,
and take the only terms they have
a right to expect?giving up everything
they had gained, and paying for
all they have destroyed. Along with
it too. they stand to be deprived of all
their colonies throughout the world,
- i - ? ? * l\r? no A f W nl _
ineir imiirt'Kiiiiuic ua>ai ui. v> ..v.
golnnd, and the means of making war
for generations to come.
The Allies must do to Germany all
the things they have promised and all
the things she expects, or all the bloodshed
and destruction of the past four
years have been worse than in vain.
To bring Germany to the point
where she can be forced to accept all
the terms the Allies have in mind may
yet prove very expensive, and Germany
no doubt is relying upon that
possibility to get better terms than
will be granted to her on a basis of the
present situation.
The Allies very well understand that
if Germany shall be left to enjoy the
benefits of what she has gained in
Russia, and eventually to organize as
much of Russia as she wants as a German
province, it will not be a great
while until the war must break out
anew, with a possibility of different
results from those attained up to this
time.
The Truth As It It.
In the information that the general
staff of ^h?-anny ^M?at4ast seen"proper
to reverse itself on the question of
allowing officers and enlisted men to
correspond with the newspapers, we
find both pleasure and gratification.
We feel gratified because we consider
that we have some vindication in
the reversal, we having protested
against such a policy at the beginning,
and we feel pleasure because we believe
that full freedom along this line
Will make for the highest welfare of
the army as well as the people.
According to our belief, the highest,
holiest and most righteous power there
is in the earth below Is that of the
people. By this, of course, we mean
..-ill nt thn tii-onle as the same may
find expression out of the best and
most intelligent light available to
them.
There are Individual men and women.
perhaps, who are wiser than their
fellows and wiser than any other individual
men and v. omen who are more
Just and more righteous than any other
individual men or women. But
there are no individual men or women
who are either as wise, oa Just or as
righteous as the whole people and
none who are as deserving of consideration.
We take no stock whatever In the
idea that any individual or any set of
individuals by writing, or talking or
otherwise, can mould or shape the real
Judgment of all the people. It is true,
as Mr. Lincoln once correctly put It.
that "You can fool a part of the people
all of the time, and all the people
a part of the time; but you can't fool
all the people all the time." and this
is what we have In mind when we assert
our supreme confidence in all the
people.
For this idea of trying to keep enlisted
men and officers from giving
their thoughts and testimony to the
public through the newspapers other
reasons were given; but the real true
reason was a desire to control the
inlnds and thoughts of the people from
a fixed center- We will not charge the
whole general stafT with that purpose,
and we will not charge any Individual
member of it with an ulterior object.
We only have in mind the fact that in
every walk of life, especially In higher
intellectual life, there are peculiarly
constituted people who think how perfectly
the world will wag If It can only
be ordered in accordance with their
own ideas, and some one or more of
these succeeded In imposing their
views upon the general staff, with the
result of that order that is now under
discussion.
The absolute co-ordination of everything
military under one supreme head
responsible alone to its own judgment
is the first fundamental of military
science. And the principal is a correct
one. almost to the uttermost limit.
Possibly there has been a time away
back in the far distant past when it
was absolutely correct. But nowadays
there is an exception. As great as the
military power may be. there is now a
greater power. That greater power is
the power of the people.
In the first place, with reference to
this order seeking to prevent publicity
through officers and enlisted men. it
has never been effective. It could not
be made effective. May as well try to
dam a torrent with a sieve. If it had
been possible to use means that would
have been effective, that effectiveness
would have been only temporary at
best. Eventually the torrent would
have swept away all obstructions, and
with the obstructions the powers by
which the obstructions had been
placed- !
Still it is better that all attempted
restrictions have been removed. Aa we
take it that is what the new regulations
amount to. The removal of the
restrictions is calculated to give fuller
and more dependable light, and the
power of the people will be able to act
with more intelligence and more
promptness.
No, don't let it be understood that
the more freedom to these soldier correspondents
is going to give these correspondents
any increased power In
the direction of thought and effort.
That power, as has been suggested,
does not and cannot rest in individuals.
But with each of these powers
giving his own testimony as to the
facts that come within his own knowledge.
and reflecting the hopes, aspirations
and sentiments of others as
they impress hint, the people are apt
to get a mighty correct impression of
the real truth.
THE STATE OF THE WAR.
Allies Successful cvc.-ywnere ana im
Germans Bleating for Peace.
While Germany ami Austria-Hungary
are clamoring lor the peace the
entente Allied governments thus far
are paying scant heed to the proposals,
but their armies are pressing forward
to further victories on all fronts.
Officially no cognizance has yet been
taken of the request of Prince Maximilian
of Badan, the new German
chancellor, or that of the Austro-Hungarian
government for the armistice on
land on sea and in the air, and the commencement
of peace negotiations for
President Wilson to whom the dual
and highly similar proposals are addressed,
is not yet in receipt of them.
Unofficial opinion, however, indicates
that the request will fall upon
deaf ears, and that no peace Is possi!
le for the Teutonic allies except
through unconditional surrender and
acceptance to the full of the terms
President Wilson enunciated.
On the battle fronts the Germans
everywhere are being forced to give
ground to the Allied troop A. In Belgium
the enemy is gradually being
pushed eastward, and in anticipation of
a forced final withdrawal is continuing
to make ready for the eventuality
by ivniov ing his guns and otherwise
lessening the value of his defensive
works in the territory upon and adjacent
to the North Sea coast.
To thu south, from Arras to the
Verdun sector, the Germans are being
hard pressed by the British, American,
Italian and French forees, and. although
on numerous sectors they still
are offering desis-rate resistance, they
seenvngly are unable to do more than
retard the advance of their foes.
Douai. south of Lens, is almost enveloped
and Cumbral has been further
endangered through the capture of
the Aubrnoheul-atix-Bois, five miles
to the southeast where more thnn
1.000 G-nnans were made prisoner.
Hard lighting has taken place around
Mont Urchain and Beurevoir. In this
immediate vicinity the Germans huve
iuought up fresh reserves in an endeavor
to keep Field Marshal Haig's men
from cutting the highly important St.
tjucntin-Le Oateran road, from winch
they are now but a step, lfut Beaurevoir
and Mont Berhain are now in
British hands.
With the Germans being defeated
over wide areas by the French and
Americans from xneiins 10 m?- .mgoruio
forest the I Lilians south of
Laon have begun an offensive which
seemingly has as its objective the finishing
of the work previously. begun
by tin French for the obligation of the
German position at La Fere and Laon
Here they have captured in storming

struggles, capturing numerous villages.
crossing the Aisne Canal and
pursuing enemy along the entire fronts
of the Sulppc and Arnes Rivers, both
of which have been crossed .at several
points.
In the Macedonian theater the Allied
troops have compelled the Austrians
to withdraw from the El Basan sector
and other positions, while near
Vranje, central Serbia, the French
and Serbian troops have captured
Austro-German held positions. In the
latter region the enemy is retiring
northward in disorder.
KAISER PROPOSES PEACE.
Remarkable Proclamation to German
Army and Navy.
Emperor William today issued a
proclamation to the German army
and navy in which, after announcing
that the Macedonian front had crumbled.
he declared that he had decided
in accord with his Allies, to again offer
peace to the enemy.
The text of the emperor's proclamation
reads:
"For months past the enemy with
enormous exertions and almost with1

against your lines. In weeks of struggle,
often without repose, you have
hail to persevere and resist a numerically
superior enemy. Therein lies the
greatest of the task which has been
set for you and which you have fulfilled.
Troops of all the German
states are doing their part and are
heroically defending the fatherland
on foreign soil. Hard is the task.
'My navy is holding its own against
the united enemy naval forces and Is
unwaveringly supporting the army In
its difficult struggle.
"The eyes of those at home rest with
pride and admiration on the deeds of
the army and navy. I express to you the
thanks of myself and the fatherland.
"The collapse of the Macedonian
front has occurred in the midst of the
hardest struggle. In accord with our
Allies I have resolved once more to
offer peace to the enemy but I will
only extend my hand for un honorable
peace. We owe thnt to the heroes
who have lpid down their lives for the
fatherland, and we make that our
duty to our children.
"Whether arms will be lowered is a
question. Until then we must not alaken.
We must as hitherto, exert all
our strength unwearily to hold our
ground against the onslaught of our
enemies.
"The hour is grave but, trusting in
your strength and in God's gracious
help, we ourselves to be strong enough
to defend our beloved fatherland.
(Signed) (Wllhelm.)"

The published statement in connection
with the tendering of that $25
fine to Mr. I'enninger by the Moore.*
recently, left the impression that the
money was paid over before Mr. I'enninger
was killed. That was a mistake.
The money was in the hands ol
one of the Moores, but when the pail
learned of the new warrant, Moore
held the money during the trouble anil
had It when they ran a way.

News of the death of Logan Moore
at Camp Jackson a few days ugo, produced
a profound Impression on a majority
of the people of Yorkville and
community. This was especially true
because of the high estimate in which
that young man was held by all who
knew him. Logan has been living ir
Yorkville for several years, and durins
that time he has won the respect and
esteem of all with whom he has come
in contact. Me wan nuuuravic,
toned, kind, generous and upright. Hf
seemed to know no greater pleasure
than to be able to rendet- a valuable
service to somebody and to have business
dealings with him was a positive
delight. A little too tall for h'?" weight
and not especially strong, he mighl
easily have been exempted from the
service had he been willing; but Ir
that as in other things, he had nc
thought but to serve, and nothing
could have held him back. No wonder
tin* deep sorrow at his untimely death,

FUGITIVE MURDERERS.
Mills and Frank Moore, the two
white men wanted for the murder of
T. R. Penninger at Sharon, on Monday
of last week, are still at large.
The Sharon people have raised $200
reward, $100 for each of them, and the
governor has offered a reward of $500,
$250 for the arrest and conviction of
either of them.
Sheriff Quinn is doing everything in
wi? uvor tn aoorehend the fugitives,
nU) " v* ? ?m-m
Including the sending out of circulars
carrying descriptions of the men and
Information of the rewards to sheriffs,
magistrates and chiefs of police everywhere.
What seemed to be pretty straight
Information as to the whereabouts of
the two men came to the sheriff last
Sunday afternoon. It was to the effect
that two strangers had applied to
the home of Mr. D. J. Forbes, between
Clover and Bowling Green, at about 1
o'clock Sunday morning, for something
to eat. They were provided with
onions and bread, for which they paid
50 cents.
On learning of this Incident Sheriff
Quinn went up to Mr. Forbes's and
made Inquiry, the result of which was
that the men who had been to the
house that morning might very probably
have been the men he was looking
for.
The two Moore boys are well known
about Gaston la, around which place
they have been hanging for quite a
while, and their appearance at the
home of Mr. Forbes In the direction of
Gastonia suggested the Idea that they
were making their way back to their
'old stamping ground.
I .
. TO CLOSE THE GINS.
Because of unusual conditions the
food administration has found it desirable
to close the cotton gins
throughout this section, and official in'
structions to that end from Food Ad
ministrator McElwee will be found in
another column.
The storage facilities of the cotton
, oil mills and of the seed buyers gent
erally are taxed beyond their capacii
ties, and at different points in the
county large quantities of cotton seed
i axe going to loss through heating.
food Administrator McElwee has
3 received numerous appeals both from
t oil mill ginners and private ginners for
i relief, and he sees no other remedy for
the situation than to close down all
t the gins.
t With the price of seed fixed as it is.
there is no incentive for the farmers
1 to hold their seed and the seed are beJ
ing dumped on the market as rapidly
as they are ginned. Hence the over.
taxing of storage facilities that were
t ample for the normal conditions of
With the gins of the county closed
> down for a week, and the oil mills
1 working night and day in- the meani
time, there is hope that by next Tues,
day the strain on seed storage capacity
of both the gins and mills will have
t been relieved and there will be no further
immediate trouble.
[ Cotton seed In bulk are more sus"
eeptible of damage by heating now
' than will be the case later on. and it
, may not be necessary for the food ad,
ministration to again take a hand. Hut
i if it shall be necessary to resort to
some further expedient in this line, the
t authorities promise to take such steps
r as may t>e necessary to conserve the
' best interest of all concerned?individuals
and the country.

just been advised of a new ruling by
the state food administration under
which farmers may buy tlour without
substitute, upon the filing of millers'
certificates showing that they have
one pound of meal for each pound of
flour asked for. The certificate must
|!?e actually filed by the farmer for the

ruling is now effective.
