Must Look to Future New York, fuly 19.?Schools in caves, with pupils and teachers bearing gas masks, are extremes to which war ridded France has gone to insure for every child "that heritage in which alone is the prophecy of an enduring nation," savs an official report to the regents of the University of the State of New York, by John H.

PAGELAND INSURANCE i & REAUTY GO. v \ Germany Desires Honorable Peace Copenhagen. July 20.?The reichstag yesterday adopted the peace resolution 214 ta 116 with 17 not voting. Copenhagen, July 20.?Chan cellor Michaelis, in his address before the reichstag yesterday, said Germany would not continue the war a day longer if it could obtain an honorable peace. America's intervention was not regarded with serious concern. The German fleet, particulary submarines, would master the situation, he said. "Although," said Chancellor Michaelis, "English statesmen know, as shown by their bTuc book, that Russians mobilization must lead to war with Germany, they addressed not a word of warning to Russia against military measures while my prede cessor in instructions July 29, 1914, to, the ambassador at Vi edna directed him to say that he would willingly fulfill our duty as an ally but must refuse to permit ourselves to be involed in a world war through Austria Hungary disregarding our counsels. The man who wishes to kindle a world war does not write like this but is a man who is laboring and has labored for peace to the utmost. "The concentration of the Russian army compelled Germany to seizo the sword. There was no choice left to us and what is true of the war itself is true of our weapons, especially the submarine. We deny the accusation that the submarine warfare is contrary to international law and violates the rights of humanity. "England forced this weapon in our hands through an illegal blockade. Our faint hope that America at the head of the neutrals would check English illegality was vain and the final attempt we made by and honorably intend peace offeil*to avoid the last extremity failed. "Then Germany had to choose this last measure as a counterITIr'dClirO r\( Coif ^nfoon/> XT ... .UUM.V Ul OV 1 I UtICllSC. 11UW also it must carry it through for the purpose of shortening the war. The submarine war is ac complishing all and more than all it fs exDected to. "I declare in fact that the submarine war accomplishes in the destruction of enemy tonnage what it should. It impairs England's economic ' life and the conduct of the war month to month in a growing degree so that it will not be possible to op pose the necessity for peace much longer. We can look forward to the further labors of the brave submarine with complete confidence. The great Anglo-French spring offensive in the West has been shattered by our armies.

First Regimen is Encamped at Greenville Columbia, S. lulv 19.? The First regiment, national guard of South Carolina, was encamped tonight in its permanent camp at Greenville. All companies have been sent to the training camp at the Mountain Citv, except the second batallion, which is on guard duty at the Columbia cantonment. These four companies will be sent at an early date. The Second regi ment will be called into the federal service next Wedneshav. The men of the two regiments will ke put thraugh with a training period of several months before being ordered to France. The general impression is that practically the entire national guard of the United States will be on the firing Jirte before tfye end of the year. mw1 ? -U-hm k WW/WWWM/WW/WM MAKING THINGS EASY It was a notion store. Outside wer< big baskets filled with jelly glasses, scrubbing brushes, stoneware, toilet soaps and other articles at what impressed Chassway us ridiculously low prices. The windows displayed highly decorated china, toys, statlonerj and some odds and ends of hardwure, among which Chassway noticed a card of padlocks price 10 cents. He re membered to have heard Mrs. Chass way say that there should be a pad lock for the storeroom door. Her* was an opportunity to please her and at the same time gratify his curiosity It hardly seemed possible that a really good padlock could be obtained fox 10 cents, but then everything seemed so cheup. Chassway entered the store and a polite young man hurried around the counter to wait on him. "Yes," said the young 'man, "thi padlocks are good padlocks?open with a spring, as you will notice, sir, and two keys to every lock, all differ ent." "I'll take one," sflld Chassway. As he spdke his gaze wandered around the store. "Anything else, sir?" asked th? young man, Insinuatingly. Chassway hesitated and was lost "Let me see," he said. "What's this?" "That's an apple corer," said th? young man. "You simply push It down through the apple and there's your core extracted quickly and neatly.* "That seems a pretty good thing," said Chassway, admiringly. "How much?" "Five cents, sir. That's a potato lllcor vnn h... <r> w~..- 1 .W . - .U J?U. uuuu WWI?? this way?for Saratoga chips or anj vegetables you want sliced thin. Ten cents." "I'll take one of them," said Chassway. "That's a dandy furniture polish," snid the young man. "I can specially recommend it, because I've used 11 myself. It's 10 cents a bottle only. I'd like to have you try it." "Well, It won't hurt, I suppose, tc try a bottle," said Chassway. "Whal are these brass tilings?" "Picture hangers." "Oh, of course. I didn't recognlsa them." "Five cents a dozen." "I don't know that I need any," said Chassway. "Still, at 5 cents a dozen, I guess they'll come In handy." To summarize, when Chassway tore himself away he paid for a dozer brass hqoks, a towel rack, a box ol soap, a long wooden spoon, six patenl gas tips, a closet clothesrack, a pali of rubber shoe heels, an egg beater, a bath thermometer, the picture hangers, furniture polish, potato sllcer, apple corer and the padlock. He exhibited his purchases witl pride when they arrived that evening and Mrs. Chassway, after the firsl shock of surprise, was delightfully ap preciatlve. The cook cast a cold eyt upon them and merely sniffed. That evening Chassway went ou1 into the kitchen to put his screw hooks in appropriate places. H? found that the woodwork was too hard to get them in without a gimlet. Similarly the old gas tips would not come out without pliers. All he could dc was to tie a piece of string around the wooden spoon and hang It up and ap ply some of the furniture polish to a bureau top?and some to his trousers, The next day, however, he made a special trip to the notion store and bought a gimlet and a pair of pliers, While he was about it he also bought a corrugated steak mallet, a wire dish /l?.oU/v? > /V# > ? uiai iin , it tan ui L'llllllR'l UUU U pnlDlbrush, a wire potato masher, a saltbox, a gridiron, a tin bucket and a set of casters. That time Mrs. Chassway was appreciative but not as intensely so a? the day before. Chnssway took off his coat, put in the patent gas tips and the screw hooks quite successfully. Il was the cook's evening off, so he took advantage of her absence to invert the kitchen tnhle and put the casters in its legs. "They will make it so much easier for her to move it around when she wants It," he explained. The next morning the cook said: "Mr. Chnssway, if it's all the same t? you. I'd like to have you take them devilish little wheels out of me table. Sure, 1 can't cut a loaf o' bread without sending It skatln' clear acrost th? kitchen to fetch up wld a bang fernlnst the range." One morning as Chassway was surreptitiously poking into the pantry drqw^rs he discovered pretty nearly the whole miscellaneous assortment ol labor-snving devices filling one ol them?wooden spoon, nutmeg grater, potato parer, apple corer?everythlnj but the hooks he had screwed into the woodwork. "It's just that she's cranky, 1 suppose," said Mrs. Chnssway soothingly. "She snys the corer clogs and the slicer turns the potatoes red and the wooden spoon's a nulsnnce and the egg-beater scatters, and things like tnat; ana sne's br cross as she can he about your getting things. But 1 wouldn't take any notice of her, dear, She's the best cook we've had foi some time and I think she means to stay with us If we let her have hei own way In the kitchen." "Well, there's one thing sure," said Chassway. "She can plug along with any old makeshift for all of me. Til not pat myself out to make thing* easy for her If she quits tomorrow." But, Indeed, Chasaway by that tlma had almost exhausted the notion tore. v ' Mule Muffler They have found a way to put the muffler on the mule in i ' France, says The Kansas City 1 | Star. By performing a nasal op i L eration they can silence his bray ^ > so that he cannot give the ene' mv information as to his loca- < r ' tion. There is this other advan- ] i tage in it to the mule in France. ' After the war no braying mule ' will be able to set up the boast $ that he saw service in the 1 trenches or helped to overthrow ' the Prussian dvnasty on the western front. The attention of J 1 The Star is called to the fact that in muffling the mule the , , Confederate soldier has priorty by some fifty odd years.
