The total of . wounded is put at 237,135, but it is , explained that there is probably a du- , plication of about 7,000 in this classi- , fication. The total of casualties from 1 battle deaths and wounds is 286,044. , Other figures as of March 1, 1919, put ( the number taken prisoners at 322 of- ( fleers and 4,112 enlisted men. a total of 4,434. j ?

A period of seven days of grace has been extended to Germany by the representatives of the Allied and asso elated governments In which the German ncace plenipotentiaries may conclude their study of the peace treaty and formulate such replies to the various clauses as they desire. The extension of time, which originally was to have expired at noon yesterday, was set forward to Thursday, May 29, at the request of the Germans, yrho advanced the plea that more time was required in order that they might formulate arguments of much importance. Almost simultaneously with the request by the peace plenipotentiaries for more time comes from Bei lin a statement from the German cabinet that Germany is unwilling to sign the peace treaty. The document is a reiteration,l athough in stronger words of the views of the foremost statesmen in Germany that the sealing of the compact will spell the ruin of the former empire. ? The 131st general assembly of the Presbyterian church, U. S. A.,.in session in St Louis on Wednesday unanimously adopted a resolution endorsing that part of President Wilson's message to congress pertaining to the Industrial situation and urging that a program be formulated to bring about closer relations between capital and labor. A quotation from the president's message stating that "the object of all reform in this essential matter must be the genuine democratization of industry, based upon a full re cognition or ine ngnis ol muse ?uu work in whatever rank, to participate in some organic way In every decision which directly affects their welfare or the part they are to play in industry," was in the resolution. After heated debate whether the assembly should endorse the inter-church world movement, which plans the alliance of all Protestantism, the matter was turned over to the executive commission with full power to act within the coming: year. ? President Wilson was arraigned lost Tuesday by commissioners to the 131st general assembly of the Presbyterio" church, U. S. A., for requesting congress to repeal or amend the wartime prohibition act and a resolution was ttuupicu UlfiiU^ wu6ivoo vv mwu tain the law. President Wilson is an elder in the church. A copy of the resolution will be cabled to the president It follows: "This assembly learns with pain that the president of the United States has recommended to congress that it repeal a part of war time prohibition, and in view of this fact we must earnestly petitiofi congress that it not only retain the measure, but that the measure be enforced to the fullest extent to the end that the needs of the world for food may be met, and that the efficiency aMd moral? of our own people be preserved." When the resolution was read the commissioners applauded for several minutes. Rev. Dr. W. H. Hlndman, of Columbus, Ohio, declared "such a stand is very unbecoming for an elder in the Presbyterian church and for a man holding so high an office as that of president of the United States." ? Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, ranking democrat of the senate foreign relations committee, predicted in a statement Tuesday that the senate would ratify the covenant of the league of nations and that the necessary majority vcte to amend it or separate it from the peace treaty would not be obtained. Senator Hitchcock has been the chief spokesman for the administration throughout the long senate controversy over the league of nations, and his statement generally was regarded as a reply to that issued Monday night by Senator Lodge, the republican leador, who said the league covenant was not acceptable to a majority of the senate. "The supporters of the peace treaty in the senate are confronted by divided forces," said Senator Hitchcock. "First, there are those who would like to eliminate that article of the treaty which establishes the league of nations, because they are radically opposed to any league of nations under any circumstances. Second, there are those who profess to support the league of nations, but insist cn amending some of the big provisions to meet their own particular views. Either cf these plans to sucooed must receive the support of a majority of the senate. In other words the opponents of ratification can beat the treaty by securing one-third of the votes of the senate to reject-the treaty, but in order to amend it, they must oecure a majority of the votes of the senate." ? Senator Park Trammell of Florida the author of the bill which law creating the bonus of $60 for men serving in Ka natT? mlUtarv Ar morino fnrrPQ nf the United Stales in the war introduced the following last Tuesday. "That all personns serving in the military or naval forces of the United States during the war with the German empire who have since April 6th, 1917, resigned or been discharged under honorable conditions (or in the case of reservist.) been placed on inactive dutv, or who at any time hereafter (but not later than the termination of the current enlistment or term of service in the case of enlisted personnel and female nurses, or within six months after the termination of said war in the case of officers, may resign. or be discharged under honorable conditions,) or in the case of reservist, be placed on inactive duty shall be paid, in additional to all other amounts due them in pursuance of law, a further sum of $140 each from the appropriation for pay of the army and pay of the navy respectively, and under the direction of the secretary of war and the secretary of the navy respectively. This act shall not apply to persons who were not in the services on or prior to November 11, 1918, nor to persons entitled to retired nnv nnr to the heirs of lecal rODrO sentatives of a person who if living would be entitled to said additional compensation." ? A reply by the allied and associated governments to the German note protesting against the economic terms of the peace treaty as being calculated to cause the industrial ruin of Germany has been delivered to the German peace plenipotentiaries. The renlv is under 11 heads and answers each German contention. It declares that the Allies and associated governments in framing the economic terms "had no Intention to destroy Germany's economic life." On the contrary the report points out that in the reconstruction of the world's affairs Germany will have her part in the progressive development hut also will share with the rest of the world in the economic losses and disadvantages inevitably resulting from the war. The reply points out that ihe German rr.te fails ] to take into consideration the fact that t the disarmament of Germany and the end of militarism will relieve theGer- 1 man people cf an immense burden of taxation and return to the ranks of useful production millions of men formerly in the army who have been entirely withdrawn from industrial or t agricultural activity. The reply also . makee an emphatic rejoinder to the German complaint that the loss of the p Serman merchant marine will throw s out of work thousands of German mer- t iha'-t seamen. The Allies' answer that the destruction of merchant ships chief v by German submarines, has tied the unfortunate effect of limiting: i the opportunities for work of seamen t throughout the world, the Allied powpre being: the greatest sufferers. It * adds that there clearly is no reason i why Germany should be exempted ^ from its share of the economic disadrantaees growing out of this destruction of merchant ships. The reply on r the economic objections is regarded as t one of the best documents in the exchange of notes. Many persons attribute it to President Wilson. t ?lu Sjtorlmtlf (Snquim I Entered at the Postofflce at York as Mail Matter of the Second Class. 1 FRIDAY, MAY 23, 1919. Four steamers left Brest on Tuesday, carrying 20,000 American soldiers, completing the embarkation of the Eightieth division and starting on the Thirty-sixth division. "We cannot consent to be ruled like an African colony," said Mathias Erzberger, head of the German peace commission, the other day. So far as we have information the A frican colony did not want it either. The NC-3, one of the three flyinfe boats, the whereabout of which was still unknown when the last issue of The Enquirer went to press, turned up on Monday. It develops that Commander Towers, having become lost in a v*"^ *r\ iloVit nn the water on a rough sea. One of his wings was badly injured and he was unable to rise again. The plane was badly off its course. There was nothing to do but taxi toward port. This took time. The boat began to leak and provisions ran out After drifting from Saturday till Monday, 16 of the 63 hours being in a rough sea under terribly stormy conditions, the airplane entered the port of Ponta Del Gada. The condition of the NG-3 was such as not to admit of a possibility of proceeding and of the three flying boats that so bravely left St. Johns, only the NC-4 was in condition to continue the 900 mile flight for Lisbon. It was expecting to start at an early hour yesterday morning. There has been no word from Harry Hawker, the nervy Australian aviator, who after waiting at St. Johns for several weeks for favorable weather in which to start his daring trip across the Atlantic, Anally took chances and plunged into the venture regardlessHe was accompanied by Lieu enant Commander McKenzie Grieve, f the British navy, as navigator. His plane was the same as is used for ordinary land flying, provided with the same kind of undergear for starting and landing. In order to be relieved of the impediment of the weight of the starting and landing gear this was dropped as soon as the ship was well off, and it fell into the ocean. For the sake of the lighter weight Hawker was willing to take chances of his life a second time in landing, even if he should make the trip successfully. It was reported on Monday that the daring aviators fell into the sea about forty miles from the coast of Ireland, but this story has never been confirmed. Much interest is being felt all over the world in the daring exploit, and especially the way they have gone about it. British and American ships have been scouring the sea for days for some sign of the probably wrecked plane; but so far nothing definite has been received. A wave of criticism of the British government has swept over England because of the failure to patrol the seas for Hawker and Grieve in advance of their flight, as was done t?y the American navy for the naval aviators in their flying boats. An aftermath of the war that is not entirely disconnected with some of the reasons which led to the outbreak of 1914, is developing in a controversy between American and British commercial interests with reference to the South American trade. During some fifteen or twenty years previous to the war German merchants were steadily and surely driving British merchants out of business in South America. So far as American trade was concerned 11 SlIIipi} v> tU) nut tixci c. JLSU4 Hlg UIC first two years of the war the British were able to increase their Soutt American business; but as the result, of the submarine campaign and the necessity of giving increasing attention elsewhere, the British had to drop out of the business to an extent that gave the United States all but a free hand. United States merchants made considerable headway; but they were not long in finding themselves considers- ( bly hampered by unsatisfactory cable i service. All the cables to South America were under British control and there was a strict censorship. This was annoying in any event. But in t this connection American exporters soon began to develop a feeling that there was a leak in the cables. Infor- i mation that they believed to be exclu- ! sive property, was also shared by their ; British competitors. There was reason to fear that the British officials were ! double crossing them. But no proof j could be offered. The censorship has 1 been removed; but there is n > guar- l antee that the leaks have been 1 stopped. American merchants who are ] interested in South American trade i feel that they must have their own ca- 1 ble lines, or they will continue at a 1 disadvantage- It seems that they can- ( not be altogether convinced of the in- r tegrity of British management. As 1 matters now stand, American business J men are very anxious to get their share of what Germany has lost in South America. They see in the South > American trade millions and millions, j and then more millions; but also they r are beginning to realize that they are i not much more welcome to the British s in this trade than the Germans were, r and that if they get anything like a fair c showing they are going to have to do 1 more than merely offer the best goods ' at the lowest prices. They have got to r have cables, ships, banking facilities t and every other advantage that is now possessed by the British. a . m , f The Unsigned Treaty. * rT*V. U ofill mnro Ar looc AM?ltlnn nine IO OVili IUVIV V? two Mvtvwv.v.. v is to whether Germany will sign the v >eace treaty; but It 16 not to bounder- * ootl that there is any reasonable pos- v libillty of the renewal of the war on he tremendously destructive scale of he past four years. The meaning of the present situation s that the treaty as submitted is inended to reduce Germany far below he limits of international commercial mportance, not only for the present, >ut for many years to come. It is commonly recognized in Gernany as well as among the Allies, hat Germany cannot well help herlelf; that the Allies are in a position o work their will on the now prosrate empire and that there is no pi es>nt or future hope for a more favora>le adjustment of the situation, except is the result of possible changes in the aresent united front on the part of Alies in their relation to each other. In the unsettled state of governnental affairs in Germany, however, he present government is easily more >r less at sea as to what it should do. rhe treaty, to say the least of it, Is inythlng but popular, and if the government should refuse to sign it there vill undoubtedly be a lot of frenzied jut impotent approval throughout the jmplre, while on the other hand if the jovernment does sign, it may very easly fall a victim to the prevailing feeing of gloom and discouragement. It is understood that the business ind industrial element throughout the >mpire, as well as the Socialistic elenent, is in favor of peace at any price, ind the Socialists if they were in control, would sign the treaty at once and Pave done with it; but the more conservative government that is now in :ontrol is not willing to turn things jver to the Socialists if that can be ivoided. In case the government does not sign now, the Allies will renew the war jy extending their occupation to Berin and other important cities, and follow this occupation with other steps ind actions which will soon bring the people to a willingness to sign, and in ;hat case the present government, unless it falls in the meantime, will be ihio to accede to the common wish without any loss of prestigeBut as things stand now it must not be understood that the thing is settled. The present government, although it is insisting to the contrary, may finally make up its mind to sign the treaty md let the country start into paying penalties without any further temporizing. While the people of the United States generally are hoping for an immediate settlement of the whole trouble, there is more or less question as to whether the British and French, especially the French, are really so much concerned. At any rate it will be at least another week before the world will have a definite idea as to what is to be done. PENSION LAW DISCUSSED. Several Features are Under Dissatisfied Criticism. An anoymous correspondent signing himself "X X," discuses the new pension law as follows: There are somethings in connection with the proposed application of the new Confederate pension law that ought to be called to the attention of the people and legislators and well considered, it is geneum? whether correctly or not, that by the act it was intended that an "honor roll" would be made of all those that faithfully served the State, or Confederacy, as soldier or sailor in the army and militia and navy and of the widows of such; and that the "honor" be not the empty one of inscribing their names, but that a tangible honorarium, in the shape of cash should accompany the enrollment. The title of the act is, "An act to put upon the honor roll all Confederate soldiers and sailors and widows of confederate soldiers and sailors and compensate them for services rendered from 1861 to 1865." Because of the two circumstances, the existence for years of pension for disabled soldiers, sailors and widows, and the title, "honor roll," in the present, or latest, act, it is evident that there is a difference in the two pensions. Now the State pension board, created by the last act, is treating the two acts just alike. There is no recognition whatever of any status of "hon? . nwinnQPH distribution of ur in iucu |/tv|/VWVv. the appropriation accompanying: the the creation of the "honor roll." There is nothing whatever in the act creating the "honor roll" making any distinction between rich and poor men or widows, yet t"he board proposes such a distinction; there is no distinction as to health, whether good or bad, yet the board proposes such; there is no distinction as to length of time of service, yet the board proposes such; there is no distinction between the wounded and unwounded, yet such is proposed. According to this interpretation of the act, every vestige of "honor" is eliminated. Who gave them such authority? Section 1 of the act does prescribe that said State board shall make all rules etc., "necessary to enroll and classify all enrollment and to apportion under such classes all sums that may be appropriated for such purposes." Now this means, when the whole act and spirit of the act is considered to separate the soldiers and sailors from the widows of soldiers and sailors and to apportion funds between these two classes, else the act is a fraud upon the people of the State in an illegitimate increase in pensions. Again, a woman married a man prior to the war, or during the war or just after the war, he dies and she again marries one who had been a soldier, but after January 1, 1890; but the second husband is now dead. Why can she not receive a pension because of her marraige to her first husband? She has been the faithful widow to two faithful soldiers. The board decides she is not entitled to a pension, though she is a needy widow. Is this an "honor roll?" So much for the ruling of the State pension board. A bad defect in the law itself and in inconsistency appears in that section of the act which limits pensions to widows over 60 years of age, while granting pensions to widows who married before January l, isau. So that a widow to get pension must have been born prior to 1859 to be >ver 60 now, while the law again says that she must have been married to the soldier prior to January 1, 1890 (29 year3 since), and at that time she night have been from 47 (marrying at 18) to 59 (marrying at 30), all within the 60 year limit. Thus a bona fide widow 59 years old, and helpless, gets 10 pension. The people desired a law that recognized all the soldiers and sailors tnd their faithful widows and the writer is satisfied that there will be rreat dissatisfaction with the working >f this law. Aviator Hawker.?Harry (J. Hawker, who started from St. John's .N'ewoundland. on a trans-Atlantic flight >n Sunday in a Sopwith aeroplane, is in Australian. He began his career is a mechanic and rose to the rank of in aviator under the tutelage of Sopvilh, one of the earliest British airtjn first ramp into prominence m Oct. 24. 1*J12, when flying a Sopwith >iplane, designed after the pattern of he Wright's machine, he established l British record of 8 hours and 23 ninutes and won the British Michelin rophv for that year.

The general assembly of the Southern Presbyterian church, now holding its 59th annual session in New OrVioa to hold its next year's session in Charleston. Up to Tuesday the Rock Hill district of the Upper South Carolina conference, had reported the raising of $185,000 of its contribution to the $35,000,000 centenary fund of the Methodist church. It should not be overlooked that any other township of the county, which may so desire, has the privilege of voting road bonds under the same terms and conditions as the King's Mountain township bonds were voted. The notice of the coming installation of Rev. John C. Bailey as pastor of Tirzah Presbyterian church, published in the last issue of The Enquirer, gave the date as "next Sabbath, May 13." It should, of course, have been, "next Sabbath, May 25." What the publishers had In mind last Tuesday in connection with the promiFe of additional matter in today's paper, was two extra pages; but the carrying ojt of that intention has not been practicable; but the promise will be made good at the earliest practicable moment Representative Byrnes has secured from General March positive assurance that the 81st Division will be returned to the United States, in June. At Its recent meeting In Atlanta the Southern Baptist convention determined upon the raising of 175,000,000 for educational and reconstruction work. Mr. C- W. Carroll has found the negro woman for whom he was advertising. It was a case of where a negro soldier had his birth date mixed up on his insurance policy, and the war department to get the matter straightened out applied to Mr. Carroll to get an affidavit from the boy's mother. Following the published notice, whites and others gave their assistance in tracing her up. The necessary affidavit has been secured.

There Is quite a keen rivalry between the National Union bank of Rock Hill and the Peoples National bank of the same city, and there is widespread interest in the rivalry. The National Union, established more than thirty years ago with $50,000 capital now has $300,000 capital, and the Peoples National, established within the dozen years, is capitalized at $100,000. Although the National Union has boasted the largest line of deposits all along previous to that time, the Peoples National forged ahead a few months ago, and has since been maintaining the lead. But it is the campaign for new accounts?new customers?that has been attracting most attention. About a year ago the Peoples National inaugurated a guessing contest on the number of new accounts to be obtained each month, and for the year, and published the figures da'lv. The total number of new accounts secured during the year was 1,847, and although the public, in view of the previous pub? -,,Ua for ollfVl a licuy, was quuc pic|/uivu ..... _ showing, the total was nevertheless somewhat sensational. There was lots of talk about the figures. But the National Union seems to have broken this record. It has said nothing previously about the number of new accounts it was getting; but following the announcement of the Peoples National, it published a statement that its total gain of new accounts during the year was 2,038. The figures not only indicate marvelous growth on the part of the two banks; but splendid progress on the part of the people in conducting through banks in the regular way business that they had formerly conducted almost without method or sys rem. COMMISSIONERS SELECTED. Messrs. W. T. Beamguard, of Clover; J. Darby Smith, of Bethany, and Marshall I. Falls, of King's Creek, are to be the commissioners of roads for King's Mountain township. These gentlemen were selected at a meeting of the county legislative delegation, consisting of Senator Beamguard, Representatives Bradford, Pursley, Hart and Nunn, in the courthouse last Tuesday. The distribution was made on a basis of one representative from the eastern side of the township, one from the central and the other from the western side. These commissioners, provided they accept appointment, are to have full discretion and authority in connection with the administration of the $60,000 bond issue recently voted by the township It will be theirs to decide upon | what roads are to be improved, what is to be done to them and they are to , have general oversight of everything ! connected with the undertaking until it has been completed. WITHIN THE TOWN ? Apples of a fair quality are costing local retailers about $17 a barrel, ; against $4 at this season four years :igo ? Rev. J. H. Thacker, a well known j minister of the Methodist church, sta- i tioned In Lancaster since December, died at his home in that town last . Sunday morning at 6 o'clock, aged 55 , years. He had been critically ill only a few days; but his general health had been bad for a long time. The body 1 was shipped to St. Matthews for inter- j ^ ment. ?

Pupils of the music and expression vi lepartments of the Yorkvllle Graded school gave quite an interesting and n, pleasant entertainment to parents and a, friends last Tuesday night under the kj iirection of Misses Eberhardt and Howze, instructors in these depart- ^ nents. The programme was made up of music and recitations, and the com- fc mon verdict seemed to be that its renlition reflected full credit upon all the participating; children as well as upon the very capable and efficient instruct- rl ors. The programme was divided in order to furnish plans for a greater 3* number of pupils, and the second section of it, which promises to be equal- ? Ly interesting, will be presented to- A night. F h FEDERAL AIRPLANES. Y - 1 -i-1 *LA ? As to now mucn reaerai uiu uic ^ people of King's Mountain township tl will be able to get in connection with ^ the $60,000 they have voted for road n improvement, will depend upon the c extent to which the plans of the com- h missioners who are to administer the funds can be made to conform to plans ? of the state highway commission., 0 This fact has been developed as the I result of interviews that Senator Beamguard, Representative Pursley, v and other citizens of King's Mountain a township have had with Mr. J. Roy v Pennell, engineer of the state highway j commission. It was stated at the county delega- g tion meeting in the courthouse last r Tuesday, that the highway commission ? had apportioned about $84,000 of Federal funds for Tork county, and of this \ amount about $26,000 had been ap- I portioned or designated for apportion- jj ment to York county projects already f under way or soon to be taken up, 2 leaving approximately $59,000 still r available for use in this county. Engineer Pennell stated without I hesitation that he would match the c King's Mountain township fund dollar ^ for dollar to the extent of $20,000 on the north and south road from Filbert v to Bowling Green, and he made a ten- j tative promise to do something like j the same thing for the road from r King's Creek, or rather Piedmont, to g Bethany; but he offered no special en- a couragement of Federal aid in the c King's Mountain road from the York j township line to the North Carolina ^ line. It developed that the King's Mountain road was not indicated on j the map that set forth the state high- j way commission's improvement scheme ^ and it was explained that aid would be ^ furnished on the Piedmont Springs <. Bethany road only in the event this road should be made a part of the : county to county system from York to f ^ I uaiinuj _ Engineer Pennell was quoted as say- ^ ing that King's Mountain township will be allowed the use of at least two * of the heavy road trucks that are be- . ing apportioned among the states for road work, and also he was quoted as saying that these trucks would not be given out anywhere except on roads * that were receiving Federal aid. i It was not to be understood from anything that was said at the delega- t tion meeting Tuesday that any definite plans had been agreed upon, even tentatively. Messrs. Beamguard and Fursley were conferring with the state . Sgineer purply for the purpose of get- ? tg information, and in full knowledge of the fact that only the King's . Mountain township highway commissioners would have discretion or authority in the matter of deciding upon plans< THE MARRIAGE RECORD.

Lieutenant McCelrey stood in the swift current of the /esle river and helped men of three latoons across the river. He was >ulled into the river twice by drownno mon but each time succeeding in sringing them ashore. On succeeding lays he was conspicuously present In daces of danger, setting a splendid eximple to his command." "It was my leight, rather than my ability as a iwimmer, that enabled me to be of aslistance to those men," modestly exslained Capt. McCelvey in reply to a luestion. "I never could swim much. The water struck me about here (indi;atlng his chin) and with some of the >oys who were not so tall as I am, it vent pretty hard. As they would go mder, I would try to drag them out." le is not being quoted exactly, for he lid not make it that plain.

Good, a prominent and highly esteemed business man of Bullock's Creek, occurred near Shelby last Wednesday morning. It has been difficult to get details of the tragedy; but from such information as has been secured the facts are about as follows: Mr. Good and Mr. Clyde B. Ratchford were on their way to Shelby In a car on a business mission. At a point about seven miles from Shelby a little white boy, aged about 6 years, ran from the side of the road directly in front of the car. Mr. Good, who was driving, stopped the car at once, and he and Mr. Ratchford carried the boy into the'nearby house, where he shortly afterward died. Although Mr. Good made a l'rank and sympathetic explanation to the boys' father, and as soon as he could arrange to do so went on to Shelby and submitted himself to the custody of the sherifT. A jury of inquest at once investigated the matter, and finding that no blame attached to Messrs. Good and Ratchford, they were released. Messrs. Good and Ratchford returned home on Tuesday night This, in connection with the matter, though not authentic, is presumably correct, and if so, important. The dead child's father, who naturally fell into a frenzy of grief and angei immediately following the unfortunat< accident and used threatening lan gua?e, afterward when he had com* to realize the facts, and how blameless had been Mr. Good, expressed hii regrets for what had been said.
