Serbians, Czech-Slovaks and all the various peoples allied with America in the great war. President Wilson was expected to head the procession, hot he preferred to march immediately at the head of hi* own troops. The streets of New York were lined with people for miles and miles. They eheered until It seemed that they could cheer no morn: tflit when tin American veterans came in sight tin cheering seemed to change from machine gun rattle to artillery roar. Sight of the soldiers returned from France with peg-legs and empty sleeves moved thousands to tears: hut these snMiers. conscious of their sacrifices and their faces aglow with pride, were among she brightest and liappiest in the legig line. There was a great display of Herman guns and other trophies that our brave hoys have been sending back as testimonials of their splendid soldiership and incomparable courage. On different ones of these trophies were apt ami witty legends like for instance, j on a great Krupp appeared this: "It . used to speak Herman; but look at 11 the dangod thing now."

But if the kaiser should abdicate In favor of that eldest son of his, what Would be the use? The Berlin to Bagdad express is not running on its former uninterrupted schedule, because of recent troubles in Bulgaria. This is the fall far grain sowing. The more grain our farmers sow the more cause will they have to be pleased with their foresight. Kven if Germany has decided upon unconditional surrender, tho necessity for subscribing for this Liberty loan is no less than if Germany were putting new armies into the field. If those Americans who were surrounded in the Argonne forest had been Germans, they would have surrendered But Americans do not know how to surrender and don't want to learn. In tin- article reproduced from the New York World, in another column, about the Thirtieth Division, the correspondent seems to have things mixed. The Thirtieth is known as the "old Hickory.' Division and it is tho Richly-tlrst, also trained at Greenville. that is Known as the "Wihla*B." Dispatches ou? of Germany are representing that the burning of French tillages is being caused by British artillery. This is taken to mean that the Germans are laying the ground for i denial of all the incendiarism of which they have been guilty. But the lay when Germany can deceive anyl?ody by her testimony has |>assed. Itev. .1. I'. Tucker of Rock Hill, ariues that ihe best possible remedy for the influenza scourge is universal pray >r. TUc luea is worm acting ui>uh. ex] himself telis us that he is a jeal?us God, and that can very easily be onstrued to mean that mankind must [tot forgot its dependence tipon him. E'rayer is always in order even when there is no public affliction, if there is such a time, and it can but be acceptable now. There is an Austrian army of about 100,000 in Albania that is in sore danger of capture. Before the collapse of the Bulgarians the Austrians had three roads back home; but now they have only one and that is a rather poor one by way of Scutari. The recent capture of the port of Durraz/.o on the Adriatic put the Allies in a position to send large forces of men into Albania in a short time, and it seems almost certain that the Austrians will be caught. The German reply to President Wilson's questions seems to have taken the whole world by surprise. The common conviction was that sooner or later Germany must submit to unconditional surrender; but few thought that luch a thing was imminent- The brief was that Germany would tight to the lust ditch rather than give up everything. It is difficult yet to believe hat the end has come, and many brieve that there is still a chance for implications. The fact that the Thirtieth Division, jiade up of troops of Tennessee, North 'urolina and South Carolina, including uore than 200 of our own York coun- , y boys, is winning fame throughout i?. rui ni,;tia s. mi oci-nsion .for sur rise; but nevertheless there is no etort to deny a source of pride through ut this whole section. The Thirtieth, vhich adopted the sobriquet of "C?l?l lickory." before it left t'amp Sevier, is i\ing opto the character of th.it famhis soldier in lierceness and endtirinct, and the (iermans have come to ;now what they are up against when hey are brought in contact with splenlid soldiers. Gen. Kdward Maan Lews of Indiana, who has the honor to onitnand the Thirtieth, has received lumerous congratulations from the iritish and French, both of whom estify that than his there is not a Iner division in Europe. There is no luestion that the Thirtieth has inflictd tremendous losses on the enemy, nd there is reason to believe that our wn losses have been light; but as yet here is no sufficient data upon which 0 base exact information. No Armistice Probable. The German reply to President Wilon's questions looks satisfactory noush upon its face; but as to whether it will amount to anything u the early <A?tabllshtnent of peace, lepends upon developments. As we understand the situation, 'resident Wilson's terms, as laid lown in each of his addresses means hat if Germany would have peace, she an obtain the same by absolute sur endcr. and that is the only way. , The president has laid down a num- , H'r of stipulations setting forth the ( ittitudo of tho I'nited States. These . tipulations require that tier many ( mist evacuate all occupied territory. , ncludinjr that of Hussia, and must ] ight the wrong that was done to "ranee in depriving her of the provln- i es of Alsace and I/orraine In 1R71, j jtd must make amends to Belgium md France. Servla and other countries for the terrible wrongs she has ' lone to them during the past four ears. In addition to all this Ger- ' tiany must disarm and give other ' uarantees for good behavior. Furthermore the president has said ' hat me cannot come to any kind of ' terms" with Germany, because Ger- ' rtany has already shown that she Is ' itterly without honor or rvgard for ' Uht and justice. If by her answer to the president's ( uestions Germany means to say that ' she Is ready to withdraw her armies from occupied territory, disband them, and accept and carry out any stipulations that the Allies see proper to Impose upon her. the probability is that peace la near; but otherwise there will be no peace until Germany is no lonaer able to lift a hand in opposition to any step the Allies may see proper o take. Matters of South Carolina Hiitory. On the first page of today's Enquirer we are printing a communication from the distinguished secre'ary of the I State Historical Commission, callingI us to task for alleged Inaccurate state ments in connection with the political history of South C'arolinu. Upon a careful reading of what Mr. Salley has to say, we are strongly impressed with the idea that there is not so much difference between us on the score of the facts in question as there is in the politics involved. His writing indicates his acceptance of the domination of the Episcopal church not only as a matter of course, but as a matter of right, while we like those early "refawmers," and other advocate of civil and religious liberty since, most emphatically dissent from both considerations. While we are not unmindful of the honor that has fallen to us in being the object of the attention of such a distinguished historian as is Mr. Salley, we are hardly prepared to accept the idea that he has given his time and trouble altogether because of the alleged discrepancies he points outThese discrepancies, if indeed such they be, are too obviously unimportant to warrant so much effort, and we are inclined to consider the communication as rather more political than historical. When we said that the Episcopal church was the established church of South Carolina from the first settlement of the state, we did not mean our readers to understand that the thing was done by the first boat load of now arrivals immediately upon their reaching land. We had in mind the fact that it \v:is nearly a generation after the arrival of the first colonists, many of whom were moving from place to place, before the first settlement could properly he said to be fairly established. According to Dr. David Ramsey, who wrote in 1808, and whose accuracy or fairness as a historian has never been seriously questioned, so far as we know, the first step toward the civil establishment of the Episcopal church was taken bcfoiv 17<M. On this subject the doctor says, in his Ecclesiastical " * -< c-..?U r>?.?llnu. msiory ui -'uum ?.??i . In the year 1698. one further step was taken, by an Act "to settle a maintainance on a minister of the Church of England in Charlestown." This excited neither suspicion nor alarm amontt the Dissenters, for the minister in whose favor the law operated was a worthy man; and the small sum allowed him was inadequate for his services. The precedent thus set by the legislature being acquiesced in by the people, paved the way for an ecclesiastical establishment. In the year 1701. when the white population in South Carolina was between 5.000 and 6.000. when the Episcopalians had only one church in the province, and the Dissevers three in Charleston and one in the country, the former were so favored as to obtain a legal establishment. We tire told by Dr. Ramsey, furthermore. that most of the proprietors and public officers of the province, and particularly the governor. Sir Nathaniel Johnson, were zealously attached to the Church of England, and here Is the way, according to the same authority, that they managed to get possession of the religious situation notwithstanding that they were so heavily in the minority: Believing in the current creed of the times that an established religion was necessary to tho support of oivil government, they concerted measures for endowing the church of the mother country and advancing it in South Carolina te legal pre-eminence. Preparatory thereto they promoted the election of members of that church to seats In the Provincial legislature and succeeded by surprise so far as to obtain a majority. The recently elected members soon after they entered on their legislative functions took measures for perpetuating the power they had thus obtained, for they enacted a law "which made it necessary for all persona thereafter ehoaen members of the commons, house of assembly, to conform to the religious work of the Church of England and to receive the sacrament of the Lord's Supper according to the rites and usages of that church." However Mr. Stilley luoks at it, and however the main object of the offense against civil and religious liberty here described may have been, office and '? o r-s-k tinwillin? power lur wjuicuuuj, ??v ?.v to admit the selfish desire for office or power was the sole object of the opposition. It was the old, old question of the right of the individual to worship God in accordance with the dictates of conscience, and of all good government deriving Just powers from the consent of the governed. As to the correctness of our view let us consult Dr. Ramsey again to see how the matter was regarded In England: The Diesenters appealed to the House of Lords, which body voted that the Act of the Provincial legislature was "founded on falsity >f matter of fact?was repugnant to the laws >f England?contrary to the charter of the proprietors?was an encouragement to atheism tnd irreligion?destructive to trade, and tended to the depopulation and ruin of the provnce." The Lords also addressed Queen Anne, leseeching her to use the most effectual meth>ds to deliver the province from the arbitrary tppression under which it lay and to order the luthors thereof to be prosecuted according to aw." To Which her majes'y repih-'. "th?t she vould do all in her power to relieve her subjects in Carolina, and protect them in their ust rights." Dr- Ramsey says that it was because jf the act of 1704, that the Dissenters ippealed to parliament, and Mr. Salley says that it was because of the appeal to parliament that the Provincial legislature passed the Act of 1704. Unless Mr. Salley assumes to be final authority himself, we would like him to jive u? better authority than Dr. Ramsey. It Is a fact that the act which excluded Dissenters from the Provincial issembly was repealed In 1706. very likely because otherwise it would have led to the developments described by the Rrttlsh house of Ix>rds. nnd In addition to that to bloodshed, as the result which the usurping churchmen would have been wiped out: but the church was not disestablished yet by sny means. The legislature continued to appropriate money to build and repair churches, pay salaries of rectors, clerks and sextons, and to encourage ministers of the Church of England to settle In South Carolina, and If any other denomination got any money it| was only by way of subsidy Intended fo bribe subservience to the party that was In the saddle. Again quoting Dr. Ramsey: Thii rtata of thing*, with very little varia:ion. continued for seventy year*, and aa long u the province remained subject to Great Britain. With reference to the election of John Hunter In 179# and John Ewlng Colhoun in 1800, Mr. Salley will excuse us for reminding him of a very important circumstance that had considerable bearing upon both of these :ases. Following the Revolution and up to several years after 1800. the Episcopal church, by reason of having lost its state support, and also because ts rectors were all sworn to allegiance :o the king of England, had become pretty thoroughly dlsorganlz;d. It had lost Its power, both polltt cal and ecclesiastical, and except for J two congregations in Charleston, there were very few people in the state who would acknowledge ever having been members. This, no doubt, had something to do with Messrs- Hunter and Colhoun getting by. 1 But by Judge Smith's day things were a little different The British ^ parliament had repealed the laws requiring rectors to swear allegiance to 1 the king and provision had also been made for the creation of an American episcopate. This done, the old political ring that had been very much battered during the twelve or fifteen years previous, had begun to pull its-It together again. Its ability to do this may have been, as Mr. Salley would have us believe, because of its supe- r rior intelligence and education; but it also may have been because of the f generations of practice following that coup de etat of 1704, when a majority ' * * 1 ~I... or llie legislature was uuiuuicu uj a surprise. Anyhow. Judge Smith got by for a short term and a full term, mainly because the election had come 1 unawares and because both elections were held at the same time. Itobert Y. Hayne was all that Mr. Salley says he was, and a man of whom the state has a right to be proud. We do not g hesitate to say that so far as we are concerned we are glad he was elected; but nevertheless. Mr. Salley will have a difficult time of it proving that I Huyne's election was due more to his I brilliancy than to his availability as an Episcopalian with which to beat Judge Smith. , We know very little about Steven D- f] Miller. Mr. Salley has told us more j, than we knew previously; but from w!>et Mr. Salley says. Dr. Ramsey. iwho wrote long before this senator's 'day, has given us a lino on him. It is this: r The Dissenters saw with regret several of their more wealthy followers desert a less fashionable church, and conform to that which en- . joyed the patronage of the government. If Senator Tlllmun told Zach Mc- ( Gee that every governor of South Carolina previous "to the war" was an ^ Episcopalian, he no doubt left out j of consideration the first twenty-eight t years up to the coup de etat. Joseph West, who was the second, third, and c eighth governor, is esteemed by the j late Dr. Robert Lathan as the ablest j of the earliest executives and, the doc- g tor says, he was objectionable to the u Lords Proprietors because he "kept s the cavaliers in check." We judge lie ^ was not an Episcopalian. Joseph f Blake (1694) was a Presbyterian. We t have not taken the trouble to look up j the other orourletary governors; but we venture that Senator Tillman war li right as to everything after 1704. We have a good many more things 'to say in this connection; but must \ forego for the present for pressure of v space. However, Mr. Salley cannot u possibly be more earnest than we are in the desire that our people were bet- r ter informed as to the bearing the his- v tory of our state has on present con- 1 ditior.s. If our people really knew the c truth about these things, South Caro- x Una politics would be much broader. v more generous and more constructive a than Is now the case, and South Caro- 1 lina would be a much better state to ' live in. v a ? i GERMANS IN RETREAT. s _ v But They Arc Giving Back Si e ad! I >4^ " Orderly Manner. The German battle line in France e continues to bend under the attacks of l; the Entente Allies. Hut nowhere has t it been broken. The enemy almost s everywhere is in retreat toward new \ positions. Hut his retreat is orderly, ? and the iiritish, French and Americans a are being compelled to tight their way t foiwurd slowly In the face of enemy r machine gun detachments acting us j rear guards. s Highly important strategic positions have been wrested from the enemy by the British and French, while on their sector of the front the Americans have further advanced their line on t both sides of the Meuse, obtaining the u objectives they sought. a The British advanced after days of J hard lighting had brought them at last to the gates of Doual, which has long held back the British from clos in^ in ujx>n the great lu-nd in tne line which hits bilk- as its center unil which hits been considered by the military ? experts as the keystone to the Ger- t man defense system through north- ^ em Belgium to the sea. To the south the French have blot- s ted out both La Fere and Laon and c the greater portion of the St. Gobaln massif standing in the elbow where t, the line runs eastward to the Swiss (j frontier. Here also the Germans for j, weeks had stood, fighting desperately, jrealizing that a successful advance j by their foes would shatter their mill- t tary plans in the south and probably eompel a swifter retirement than is g being carried out and probably make v untenable the entire Meuse line, to ^ which it is believed they are gradually n ma king-their way. c By the successes of the British and 0 the French the entire German line c from Rheims to the Belgian frontier ^ is made decidedly more unstable and with the new advance of the French q and the Americans in the Chamixigne. and along both sides of the Meuse northward, seemingly the enemy, for . a few days at least, will have to hasten his steps eastward and northward to prevent the great converging maneuver from capturing large numbers ? of prisoners, especially In the pocket from the region northwest of Rhetms to La Fere. Here, however, the enemy. seeing the ultimate fall of Laon. ' may have used the great net work or railways there and successfully with- : drawn a majority of his forces toward ! Mezieres. Along the Alsne in Champagne the " French have forced their way across the Alsne at various places and are " almost upon the Important railway town of Rethel, whence It is only n step to Mezieres, while north of Vouziers they are continuing to battle their way forward toward Sedan. In the bend of the Alsne more than 36 localIties have been liberated by the French and several thousand citizens freed a freed from bondage. q Since the offensive began 21.567 Gentians have been made prisoners j< and 600 of their guns captured. - U With the situation In France and Belgium highly satisfactory to the Allies, the operations In Serbia and Albania likewise dally ore being carried forward successfully.

The splendid plan of the Ited Cross neans simply tills: That every effort rill be made by those who are well to ake care of those who are sick The oinmittees that have oecn appointed rill do all they can to hunt out those vho are in need of help; but in case iny who are in need are overlooked, hey must have no hesitation in makng their need known. If they do they rill be entitled to no sympathy on that ccount.

THE COTTON SEED SITUATION. The cotton sepd situation throughlut the country is much more serious han is generally realized because of he rush of seed to market in volume ;reater than the mills are able to take are of. Whllo It is evident that had it not leen for the closing down of the gins luring the week, the seed glut would lave been much worse than it now is, t is a fact thut the oil mills are hard|T in no more comfortable shape than hey were a week ago. Keports from various parts of the tate indicate that the situation elsewhere is about the same as in this secion?the storage capacity of all the tills over-crowded, and crushing proeeding with unusual slowness because f insufficiency of skilled labor beause of the draft and because of lnuenza. The South Carolina Cotton Seed 'rushers' association a few days ago eported that the oil mills of the state s a whole had on hand on October 5, 00 per cent more cotton seed than n the same date last year, and many f the smaller mills had a still larger ercentage. The Southern Cotton Oil ompany was beyond the 100 per cent mit. All of the mills have become very eluctant buyers because of the overrowdlng of their storage capacity and lie shortage of labor, and the indica - nnUoo fnrmoM Vi AI/1 UJIB ill c mai. uintoo mc tai moi o nviu ack their seed to a much larger ex?nt than they have been doing, it will aon be difficult to sell seed to anyody at any price.

In cases of fain- s ilies that are helpless by reason of all n its working members being down, and p being unable to secure other help, members of the Red Cross are to do v what they can. Also volunteer nurses t are to be furnished as far as possible n in all cases where there is no other t help.

The diet of the patient should be light Quiet and cleanliness 51 are essentials. Attendants of persons having influenza," the surgeon general ^ said, "should wear a gauze mask and ? take all precautions to prevent conta- ,r gion." ^ Influenza In Fort Mill. gi Fort Mill.
