ster apparently helpless approached in t
considerable ntimlM-rs shouting lor il j

succeeded hi llxing the trifling mechanical

around in the midst of the astonished
enemy, lie then ordered the crew to
give the (iermmis a broadside. The

disorder. A staff officer saw theltrit- ,
tsli attack at one point being held up
by heavy gun posts, tie obtained the '
services of a few tanks, entered ore ?
and directed the attack on the hostile t

President Wilson has answered the
lote of Prince Maximilian fully and latisfactorily.
In the beginning the
irestdent stated what the I'nlted j
ttates went Into the war for. It was (
ho very opposite of the things ror
rhich Germany started the war. The
nntn purpose of the I'nited States, is
o put it forever out of the power of
termsny to again set the nations of
he world to tearing at each other's
hroats. The fundamentals laid
lown hy President Wilson are fully
aleulated to do this. If Germany is
loncatly and sincerely disposed to acept
the demands of the I'nited
hates, thsii there is nothing else to
lo hut to establish an agreement, it
s quite obvious that If Germany is

of peace. The people are

that Austria will also qui*,
tut Germany is not yet conquered,
ind it is fpoinp to cost a lot of effort
tefore she is conquered. This is the
v pressed opinion of leadinp military
aen and statesmen of Europe as well
s of America. Germany is still a
remendous power?almost as powerul
as she has ever been. She is
lomlnated completely by the autocratic
military element, and this element
nows full well that surrender means

GERMANS ON THE RUN.
Allies Meeting With Splendid Succese
Everywhere.
The German armies are In flull flight
before the British, American and
French forces on the front between
Pumbrai and St. Guentln. Oambral,
the strongest point of the enemy in
this region, hits been taken by the
Canadians in its entirety and north of
Pambrai the Canadians have deeply
lienet rated the German lines.
Out in the open, east of what once
ivius the old Hindenburg line, cavalry
is bustling the retreating foe in what
virtually amounts to a rout. So fast
is the retreat that columns of the Allied
troops in parade form have passed
through numerous villages, completely
out of contact with the Germans.
.More than 10,000 prisoners and between
100 and 200 guns were captured
In Tuesday's fighting, and the continuation
of the battle Wednesday resulted
in further large captures.
In the fighting 23 German divisions
?more than a quarter of a million men
?have been severely man-handled.
The maximum depth of the advance
is between eight and ten miles. The
lermans are declared to be fleeing to
the east of Le Cateau, one of the most
important railroad centers in this region.
Between them the Germans ore leaving
the country devested, burning
towns and villages as they flee.
The formidable German defense
lystem between Cambrai and St.
jucntin has been uttefly demolished
ind British, American and French
loops are in the open country eastward
in pursuit of the retreating en:my.
Cambrai the pivot point in the forncr
line and over which there has
>ecn so much bitter fighting, is in Britsh
hands; numerous vllages and hamets
to the south have been over-run
>y the Allies, and thousands of Germans
have been made prisoners and
hundreds of their guns captured.
The victory seemingly is a complete
one. and with General Foch's
strategy working smoothly, the Gernan
line in one great converging movement
the Germans apparently are
n a serious predicament. From the
-eglon northwest of Rheims to the
Mouse river, north of Verdun the
French and Americans are Slowly but
surely pushing the Germans backward
oward the Belgian border.
In Macedonia and Asiatic Turkey
he troops of the Entente still have
he enemy on the run. Nowhere Is the
?nemy able to do more than tight reartiing
battles, giving ground when
he pressure becomes too strong.
Under the avalanche of steel hurled
vgainst them on the Cambrai-St.
iuentin sector the Germans could not
lve and were forced to flee eastward.
Heavy casualties were inflicted on
hose of the enemy who had the tenor
it y to endeavor to make a stand.
")n the other hand the casualties of
he Allies were declared to have been
datively small, those of the Americans
being less than half of the prisoners
taken by them.
Where the enemv DroDoses to make
lis next stand cannot be foretold, but
irohably an effort for a turn about
rill be attempted along- the Velen>iennes-Sedan
front. After this line

hreatening to make this line unten

f the democratic element of Gernany
could be fully informed as to

ould find a leader who could comuand
its confidence, there would imTiediatclv
come an explosion that

and the establishment, of a
satisfactory peace. But the autocratic
crowd still has the ascendancyfind
it will be able to goad Germany
t>n to the last des|?erate length before
the end comes. That is the way the
thing looks to those who are in the
best position to know.
All thoughtful men who want to do
their duty over here as our soldiers
are doing their duty over there.
should consider well the situation as
it now exists with reference to the
placing of this $?.OOC'.QOO.OOO loan.
,\n a loan, six billion dollars is a
mere bagatelle to the people of the
I'nited States. Their wealth is more
than ten times that?yes. more than

i'.re so many p?*ople who need educating.
first, as to the necessity of the
loan, second as to the itn|K>rtance of it
and third, as to their ability to help.
Heretofore, public meetings have
lieen s most essential element in this
work. .Vow that it hits become necessary
to prohibit public mcetinirs on
account of the influenza scourge, the
sincerity of the patriotism of every
individual is being subjected to the
severest test it has yet undergone.
There are men who an* able to subscribe
but who will hold back because
they arc not being canvassed as
heretofore. They drop out of the
running because they are not being
prodded up. Now Is the time to see
who is who and what is what. "Who"
Is tile man who himself realizes the
tremendous responsibility by which
le is confronted and meets that ros|M?nsibility
in the purchase of all the
bonds lie is able to handle with all
the resources at his command. Not
only are such people "who," but they
an* also "what." and they will bo so
recognized in the making up of the
record of these times in which all
are being put to the test.
Most wonderful Is the scientific
progress that has been recorded during
the lives of most of the people
who read these lines. There are a few
|M-ople living in this county .who were
born before the first steam railroad
was put in operation. There an- hundreds
who remember the first practi
able, having started an advance up
the valley on the east side of the
stream toward Sedan.
The maneuvers of the French northwest
of Rheims are cutting more
deeply into the German lines, despite
the serious resistance that Is being
offered by the enemy to postpone the
fall of the great St Gobaln massif and
the highly important strategic position
of I-aon and I-aFere, which seemingly
are likely to be plnch?d out of
the batllefront by the successful operations
around St Quentin and
llerry-au-Bac.
Strong resistance also is being lmr<osed
by the Germans against further
advances by the French and
Americans in C'hamiogne and oast of
the Argonne forest. Particularly
heavv counter-attacks have been
launched by the enemy on various
positions but without results other
than increasing his casualties. Along
th<- Suipt*' river the fighting is furious,
but the French have been able to
make further crossings of the stream.
St. Ktienne has chanecd hands several
times in bitter combats.
West of the Argonne forest the Americans
have driven their line forward
to the region of Oornay on the
Aire river where they have effected a
junction with the French troops and

will he in Allied hands. On the oast
side of the Mouse the Americans have
advanced and taken several small villages
and also straighten-"*d out their
line which was being enfiladed by the
Oerman guns from the east.
The reports persist that the Turkish
cabinet has fallen and that the new
grand vizier will he Tewflk Pasha,
whose sympathies are declared to he
pro-ally rather than pro-German,
iiumor also has i' that the Turks have
dispatched a peace note to the Allies
through the Spanish government.

Price of Cotton Seed May Be Reduced.?A
slight change in the announced
price of cotton seed in South
Carolina and other States may be
made by the food administration, representatives
of farmers' organizations
and others in order that the price
should he stabilized on a basis of $70
a ton. assuming a yield of oil per ton
of seed equal to last year's average.
Following inquiries from constituents
as to the operation of the reported
plan to readjust prices, writes
the Washington correspondent of the
News and Courier, Senator E. D.
Smith conterred with the cotton seed
division of the fuel administration
which furnished him with an explanation
of which the salient portion is
here given.
"Since the mills have been operating
they clulrh that they have not
begun getting as much oil as they obtained
last year. The result was
that some mills have hesitated to buy
seed, causing a slow movement and
dull market. When we saw this condition
approaching we immediately
proceeded to have samples of aH cotton
seed from each state analyzed under
the supervision of a state chemist,
and this Is to be done semi-monthly.
Rased on the analyses and the farmers'
agreement, we will determine the
price of seed in the various states.
This plan has been put in effect in
some of the states and we are having
analyses made in others, and as a result
of this plan, we find that In some
states It will be necessary to reduce
the price of the cotton seed $2 or $3
a ton. In others we do not think It
will be necessary to reduce the price,
but are hopeful that we may he able
to raJse it."
Senator .Smith was told that if it
should be found necessary to reduce
th< nrlce In South Carolina, it was not
at all likely that dealers who have
seed on hand at present prices would
staffer n loss, though they might have
to forego profit.

CLOSING OF THE GINS.
With two or three exceptions, the
ginners throughout the county have
given prompt obedience to the request
of the food administration to cease
operations from last Tuesday morning
to and including next Monday.
Mr. McKlwee said yesterday that his
information was that all the gins of
the county had obeyed the closing request
except liarshaw's and lg>\'c &
l.ove at Mct'onnellsville, and Williamson's
at Guthricsvillc. Harshaw hafl declined
to close and the other two gins
said they must continue in operation
because of Harshaw. Igiter in the afternoon
Williamson advised Mr. McKlwee
that upon further consideration he
had decided that the proper thing for
him to do was to obey the order, and
he is doing so.
There hits been some little complaint
about the order from a few
**' -? '"^cv fhinb hot inutoml nf
clotting the gins the food administration
ohould have stooped the buyers
from buying; but generally the wisdom
of the action of the food administration
is fully appreciated and
commended.
Replying to the suggestion that it
would have I teen better to stop the
seed buyers from buying rather than
stop the gins, a ginner who is not a
seed buyer, but who did not care to
have his name used, says this: "The
object of the order as I understand it.
is to give the gins an opportunity to
relieve the overcrowded condition of
their storage facilities before loss
from heating sets in. Now it is a fact
that ninety-live out of a hundred are
selling their seed as fast as they get
them out. Suppose the gins should
continue to operate and there was nobody
to buy the seed, what would become
of them? I am sure I could not
take care of the seed about my place,
and 1 don't think any of the other gins
are prepared to take care of other
people's seed. Nobody wants to take
home seed that he wants to sell and
make two loads of it where one would
do. and the result would lie even more
inconvenient than the present arrangement.
Also if the gins should
continue to operate ami pile up seed
on th(- oil mills till the seed began to
s|siil, the oil mills would have to unit
billing, and with the oil mills out at'
the market, of course nobody else
would want to buy. Of course it is inconvenient
to have to stop your work
like this; but 1 do not see what else
could be done under the circumstances
and I have 110 kick whatever."
One ginning concern in the western
I Kill of the county, was also running
a molasses mill with the same power
that was being used to run the gin and
at llrst argued that there should be an
exception In its case because of the
loss; but upon fuller consideration
withdrew its objection and announced
its hearty co-operation.
The common opinion of all who have
intelligently figured out the situation
is agreed that the gin closing order
is in the interest of everybody and
that it should be obeyed.
So far as is known now, all the gins
will be permitted to resume operations
011 next Tuesday morning, and as to
whether it will be necessary to use
any further expedient for the regulation
of the situation, will depend upon
developments.
Dr. J. H. Johnson, food administrator
for the eastern side of the county,
is in full agreement with Food Administrator
McElwee, and the ginners
within his territory, as well as the
farmers, are giving their hearty cooperation
In ginning as in other matters.

Killed On a Bridge.
Sheriff (Juinn received a telephone
message yesterday advising that John
Crawford, colored, knocked another
negro from the bridge over Catawba
river between York and lgtncaslcr
counties, and that the negro who was
hit will probably die. Sheriff Hunter
arrested Crawford and took him to
Lancaster, but afterward learned that
the assault was probably committed
on the York side of the river. If the
negro who was hurt. dies, as It seems
reasonably certain he will. Crawford
will be turned over to Sheriff Quinn.
As to Substitutes.
The food administration requires tne
use of one pound of meal to four
|K>unds of flour, instead of pound for
pound, as erroneously stated Tuesday,
The idea is that fanners may purchase
flour without purchasing substitute,
provided th?y present ml Used
certificates showing that meal has
t>eon ground for them to be used as a
substitute. The merchant is not allowed
to sell flour to anybody without
also selling substitutes in proportion
of one to four, except upon the evidence
of a miller's certificate, that the
purchaser has meal substitute.
Christmas for the Soldiers.
Friends and relatives of the overseas
soldiers who desire to send
Christmas presents to these soldiers,
should see or write to Mrs. K. M. Bratton
of YorkvHIe, president of the Red
Cross, at once. Mrs. Bratton must
have information on or before next
Thursday so she can make necessary
arrangements. The time is short and
rannot and will not be extended. People
who read Mrs. Bratton's published
notice should at once make known its
contents to other interested people
who might not otherwise tie advised.
The time to act is right now. And let
everybody get the fact that these
Christmas packnges must go through
thr Red Cross or not nt all.
The Parliament of Man.
Here Is an inspiring picture that
Rev. J. E- Ma'.iaffey of Yorkville, drew
in his recent Libertv loan speech at
Seneca: "I see a great world convention
assembling. Delegations are gathered
from every nation under heaven,
including democratic representatives
of the German people. The chairmen
of these delegations are appointed a
nominating committee. I see them retiring
from the big auditorium. There
goes Pershing, Foch and HaJg at the
head of the column. In leas than ten
minutes the assembly rises to Its feet
in astonishment. The committee on
nominations is ready to report. Lloyd
George and others escort them to the
rostrum. General Haig announces that
by unanimous ballot Woodrow Wilson
is nominated first president of the parliament
of man- A democratic delegate
from Germany, shouting vehemently
and waving to the rostrum is
now recognized: 'Chentlemens, I moof
dat der nominations voot now be
closf And perhaps for the first time
in history, sane pandemonium prevails,
being clothed in its right mind."
From Lenoir to Edgemont.
The following is from the Charlotte
Observer: "The Lenoir News brings
information that a reconstruction of
the Carolina & North-Western 1 tailroad
from that town to Edgemont has
been authorized by Mr. J. B. Akers,
Southern engineer for the middle district.
This road was torn up by the
tlood of July. 1916, and has been In a
neglected condition since that time.
The people along the line had become
fearful that after the lumber interests
of the Hitter and Hourbonnais companies
had "cut out" their contracts
in that section the railroad would be
abandoned. The contract for its construction.
therefore, indicates that
these fears were groundless, and at the
same time the people see in it a revival
of the hope that the line is to be
extended across the ridge to a connection
with other Southern lines in the
western part of the State. The reconstruction
of the road to Edgemont involves
a large expediture, and It Is
argued that it would not be undertaken
if the managers did not have
In mind the extension of the road
to a western connection, as the local
traffic would not be sufficient to justify
its rebuilding to a blind terminal.
The people of that s?ctlon of North
Carolina have long entertained hopes
for the extension of the Carolina &
North-Western. Often the hopes appeared
to be on the eve of realization,
but always something turns up to
block the enterprise. In the rebuilding
of the road three new bridges will
be involved, while at some points the

Argonns Wiped Out.?What has
been known as the Argonne salient
has been wiped out. This salient Included
many square miles of front,
much of it a jungle and all of It was
powerfully held by German forces well
fortified with entrenchments and entanglements
and armed with machine
guns and other murderous weapons.
Krom the nature of terrain ambush
was easy and progress of the attacking
forces was slow and tedious.
Krom the dispatches of yesterday it
appears that the Allies now have the
Argonne in a pocket, and whatever
Serman forces may have been left in
the forest have already been captured
or they will be captured or killed at
eisure.

To Repair Their Own Shoes.?In
accordance with the policy of the Conservation
and Reclamation division of
the army, fifteen enlisted men of the
Twentieth division have recently been
placed in the shoe shop at Camp Sevier
to learn the cobbler's trade. These
men were detailed from their respective
units and only recently entered upon
their new duties, the course requiring
not less than six weeks to complete.
At the expiration of that time
they will return to their own organizations
to look after the shoe repairing
of their own men.
The policy of developing shoe repairmen
was Inaugurated while the
SIst Division was stationed at Camp
Sevier. At that time 25 men of the
different outfits were detailed to take
the cobbler's course at the shoe shop.
The reason for this training of shoemakers
is clear Inasmuch as It is not
always possible for the army at the
front to send shoes to the rear for repairs.
.? An Amsterdam correspondent,
basing his statement on information
received in Amsterdam, says that Von
Hin<ienhiii\r h;ts resigned as imperial
' chief of staff. The resignation is
sa.ii! to have come about because of the
retreat from their present positions in
France and Belgium, and the kaiser,
being reluctant to give back, refuses to
a give with Von Tllndenburg an to the
necessity of doing so.
