Though no details of the plan to he followed in controlling clothing prices have l>een announced, it Is believed that the general policy adopted in fixi ing the price of shoes will he followed. 1 Standard prices for standard grades of men's and women's suits, hats and other articles of clothing probably will he established by agreement with the , manufacturers and retailers.

NEW GERMAN CHANCELLOR. i _____ ' Prince Maximilian Does Not Think Like the Kaiser. The man who more than once was talked about by the German moderates as most likely to succeed in a coup d'etate to rejrtnce the kaiser, has ! been named by William II as Imperial ( chancellor, succeeding Count von Hertling. He is l'rince Maximilian of , Baden. , The prince Is the prospective grand I duke of Baden. He is 51 years old. , His political confession of faith revolves around peace by understanding and conciliation. "No conquests" is one of J his main principles. Not long ago he startled Germany by an almost pacifist utterance, urg, Ing a "rapprochement" with the Allies, especially Kngland and America. In Russia his appointment is expected to stir tip a hornet's nest among the hitherto pio-German Bolsheviki. For bolshevisni is to this prince the greatest menace to civilization, a scourge that must he wiped from the I face of the earth. How Berlin will coneiliate the appointment of a man holding such views with its peaceful liolicy toward the reds is problemati| cal. In political quarters in Washington , speculation turns about the question as to whether the kaiser called his would-he rival ?o the highest office in ' his giving in order to "put him safe." lest, ill the quiet recesses of the grand duchy he continue plotting to seize the Hohcnz.ollcrn crown. To be sure, the reports that such have been the prince's ambitions or nt least those of his friends and followers have been vague. If persistent nnd ' confirmation of those stories is 1 still tacking1 The prince's moderate views, however. and his hatred of holshevism are tnllv known. 1 The new chancellor is likely to make 1 his dehnt in the rcichstng early this week for the thirties are reported to ' have called a plenary session for tomorrow.

They Amuse and Amaze the French and Are Great Fighters. Atmrican negro soldiers in France, j writes a correspondent with the American ni'nies, are a source of never-ending interest and amusement to the I'tench, who do not tire of watching and listening as they wield picks and shovels and chant as they work in a weird minor key. They have shown a fearlessness amounting almost to utter indifference ?it their white officers are with them ? carelessness where personal danger is involved that is at once amazing 1 and sometimes annoying to the officers and a desire to fight that amounts to a mania. The American negro soldier, in the wotds of a colonel who commands a regiment of them and has for years known a good deal about their characteristics. is wry close to a fatalist when it comes to fear. Repeatedly his own troops handy remarks among themselves, the gist of which is about as follows: "Don't worry al>out that shell. Hastus. It ain't got your number on it." And the shell screams by. the negroes who believe it had not tneir numuer stand idly around and expose themselves as they should not. The colonel frankly admits being afraid when big shells are Hying about and seeks cover. The first regiment which went into action, long ago now. went in primarily because it threatened to decimate Itself in inactivity. Razors and knives came more and more freely into play, and the men demanded so frequently and so insistently of their officers why they might not get some action that it was finally arranged for them. They proved quite as strenuous fighters in the line as they had behind it. It goes without saying that the negro soldier is as boastful as any in a similar profession. The Marines had just covered themselves with glory in the Chateau Thierry fight when a delegation from a negro regiment in line in a quiet sector waiting on the commanding officer and asked if they too might not get in on the "fun." "Let us go in colonel." they said. "We are the only real fighters. The Marines are all right of course, but just let us have a whack at the Boche. Then the Marines won't he in it. And as for the rest, Ig)rd they don't count at alt." A MEMBER OF THE 118TH. Grennaker Come* Back From France to Help Teach the Boy*. Camp Sevier. Greenville, S. C. October 3?Hale and hearty, a ruddy glow in his cheeks, in better condition physically than he ever was in his life before perhaps, and the general appearance and pose that is apparent only to men who have faced shot and shell " oil ItK Pirst Lieut H. B. Grennaker, intelligence officer of the 118th Infantry of the Thirtieth Division is back at Camp Sevier after being absent overseas with his regiment since the er.rly part of April. Lieut. Grennaker returned to Camp Sevier several days ago and is now awaiting assignment with the 90th Infantry. in all probability in the intelligence department. "Officers and men of the 118th were in the best of spirits and havinga good time when I left them a short time ago," he said. "They have been busy all right. There is plenty for American soldiers to do over there and they are doing it beyond doubt. Still it is a great experience and they are enjoying it. Since I left Camp Sevier in April I ha'c been in Belgium the greater part of the time. That is some country over there. "Yes, the Thirtieth Division has been together practically ever since we went across and in the fighting in which we have been engaged, and there has been quite a bit for us to do, why there has quite a bit for us to do, why the various organizations of the regiment have been practically together." Lieut. Grennaker returned to the states with a number of other officers and non-commissioned officers of the Thirtieth, some of whom were sent to other camps to assist in the instruction of men in trainingPicking up a copy of a daily newspaer in which there was some reference to the Thirtieth Division, a smile came over his face as he read it and a tone of pride in his voice as he sc.id: "My but they are a great bunch and I wish to goodness I were with them right now." He meant it, too. Lieut. Grennaker is a native South Carolinian, being a member of the well known Grennaker family of old Edgefield. He is an alumnus of Wofford " ** " * L.. -n. knfintr talron ? outgo, npiinuiiuuig, ua<>i>tl v.. his degree from that Institution with the class of 1914. ?James D. Grist. ? f FIGHTING IN THE ARGONNE. South Carolinians Acquitted Themselves With Heroic Courage. A New York division cooperating with an Australian corps north of St. Quentin encountered the severest opposition iuul although suffering; heavy losses, fought with the greatest bravery, according to an official of the Australian troops in a telegram which he sent Friday to the general in command of the New York soldiers. The Australian officers said that from a personal reconnaissance made by him over the battle fields east and northeast of Duncan Post it was evident the Americans of this division from the outset met with determined opposition. They pushtd forward in the face of an enfilading fire from German machine guns. "The dead of whom there were barge numbers." the Australian officer wrote, "were all lying with their faces toward the front. Not a man was moved backwards when he was killed." The telegram goes on to say that owing to the nature of the country the Germans were able to get in an enfilading fir-;, and it was evidently a gallant action that enabled the men from Tennessee and North and South Carolina to do what they set out to do. namely, to break the first part of the Hindenburg line. In conclusion the telegram said: "I am convinced that the officers and men did all that it was humanely possible for brave men to do nnd their gallantry in action must stand through all times in American history." War Effect On Population.?The birth and marriage rates for the first six monins or isis. compuruu wim m?flrst six months of 1917, show that Now York ritv is already beginning to foel tho effect of the enlistment and drafting of so many young men of marriageable age. According to rel>orts published by the department of health of the city of New York, from the first of July, 1918. there have been 418 fewer births in New York city, and 2,804 fewer marriages, than for the same period of 1917. The experience of New York city in this follows closely that of Europe since the war started in 1914. Sir Bernard MaJlett, registrar general of England, states that In England and Wales the birth rate has fallen. The rate for 1917 showed a decline of 24 per cent over that of 1913, or a total of 668.346 fewer births. He feels that It will be a long time before the birth rate again reaches the figure which obtained before the war, and states that, serious as this loss Is to the coming generations of his country, there is reason to believe that Great Britain has suffered less than other belligerents. Germany has lost in potential lives the equivalent of 4.5 per cent of its total pre-war population. Austria 5 per cent and Hungary 7 per cent. Sir Bernard Mallett calculates that the present war has cost the belligerent countries of Eu . I >1 a half rujR' uui iroo man mv?*v uuu u millions of potential lives at the present time. He says that every day the war continues means a loss of 7.000 potential lives to the United Kingdom, France and the Central Powers. Prof. William G. Marquette, associate professor of botany at Columbia, a conscientious objector, was arraigned Friday for the second time in the Federal court in New York, on the charge of "wilfully neglecting" to register for the last draft- Judge Clayton previously had given Marquette time to think over his refusal, but the defendant, after a confidential talk with the court, was heard to say "No." Thereupon the judge, after paroling Marquette on his own recognizance for a final appearance in court, said: "I want you to remember that I sent a man to Jail for six months a few days ago for failure to register. Pray that the Lord may give you light and knowledge to see your mistake" Old Tiger Urges Firmness.?With victory In sight the Allied nations should set themselves for the last sacrifices necessary before the final triumph is secured. Premier I'letnenceau has just declared in a ringing pronunciamento. The premier's words are embodied in a letter he has sent to the council general of the Loire, which has passed an address strongly supporting the K?v* erntnent's course. "The councils representing the people," says the premier's response, "can depend upon the government, with Marshal Foeh and ih?. united armies to mir-aiie their course until the benefits of tlx1 complete success are wrested from the enemy. The splendid victories of the recent weeks have definitely determined the fortunes of war to the atu|?efaction of the enemy, who now suddenly discovers that he had grossly deceived himself. "These victories are only the first sheaves of the fruitful harvest, of which the highest recompense will be th" final deliverance oi the world from the oppression of implacable brutality and oj?cn the way for its marvelous development. Lot us salute the glorious aurora whose first rays illuminated the victorious fronts of the founders of the American republic and of our revolutionarx forefathers. "In the abyss of irreparable defeat the Prussian militarists will bear the shame of th>? greatest attempt at wrongdoing of which a barbaric people has been able to dream. The supreme obstacle to the reign of right and law an ong mankind is about to disappear in the acclaim oi a victory in which it is our duty to make effective the trill iph of humanity. "For this let us continue to be true to ourselves. Let us accomplish the last sacrifices caused by the supreme convulsions of savagery. The collaboration of all in the revivifying of the world will achieve the work of idealism toward which so many generations have <-n gloriously sought the way and that history reserves to us the inexpressible glory of realizing." This Year's Cotton Crop.?This year's cotton crop was estimated at 11.81S.000. equivalent 500-pound bales by the department of agriculture last Thursday, basing its estimate on the condition of the crop on.Sep'eniber 25, whicli was 54.4 t?er tent rf a normal, and which forecasts a yielu oi 154.1 pounds to the acre.
