The rent will be 25 cents a month for each bale. Tee weighing and grading charge :or each bale will be 5 cents.

The rental charge j covers insurance and all expenses. Commissioner McLaurin yesterday j made public the following letter, i which te had received ifrom Chris- | topher Atkinson, secretary of the Co- ' lumbia Supply company: "We read in yesterday morning's paper wnat you had to say with refer- i ence to investigating the cost of gal-1 vanized corrugated roofing, and we j feel satisfied t?_'at you would prefer all those who contemplate building warehouses purchasing roofing from or through South Carolina merchants, since they can purcnase to equai advantage and in 90 per cent, of the cases to better advantage. We would be only too glad to be put before the public as the Globe Iron Roofing ana Corrugating company of Cincinnati haVe, but of course this would not be :air to the other South Carolina merchants.

THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR i London, Nov. 12, 10:05 p. m.?The Germans have crossed the Yser river, according to the admission of the latest Paris official communication, and although the invaders occupy only a few Lundred yards on the left bank of the stubbornly contested river, the allies cannot be indifferent to this gain and desperate efforts will be made to drive back this slight wedge. Ypres, extending like a fortress bastion into the lines of the invaders is stiil held by the Britis':^ and unless the flank attacks on this positi6n are success ul, Bixmude is likely to prove a barren gain for fc^e Germans who still find t~e way to Dunkirk barred. T:e theory thc.t the Germans are making an unprecedented attempt on this coast objective is confirmed by ' - * * TT.11 J an official just returned 10 nonauu fiota east Prussia, v/here he claims : the severity of the German defeat is ; due to the fact that so many troops have "been detac'.'.ed for the effort i against Calais. Little attention lately has been pajd j to the operations along the river Aisne, but according to late dis patches, fierce fighting, recalling tie 1 early days of the siege battle, there ! has been in progress for some time witfi no great alteration in the line, I but some slight advantage in favor of the allies. In the coast battle the latest reports indicates that the Germans after heavy artillery fire, made massed infantry assaults, suffering loss heavier than the defenders. 11 - - -a ? ~ ?n ? 4-Viof .from tne east come ieyui u> won Petrogard is expecting to &ear any j moment that the great battle before .

A TREMENDOUS BATTLE IS DEVELOPING MILITARY MEN WATCH RUSSIA'S EXYELOPD.G MOVEMENT English Government to Ask Parliament for More Than Billion Dollars. London, Nov. 13.?While the battle in West Flanders continues to hold public attention because of the desperaie character of t:-e fighting, the numbers of men engaged and the territory at stake, military men now look on East Prussia as the centre of gravity of the war. In the latter field a tremendous battle is developing. The Russians are pushing vigorously a great enveloping movement. They are engaged with the Germans along a wide curve of 150 miles, from Stalluponen in the northeast, through Goldap and Kruglanken, wfeich is well within the tangle of lakes, down, to Soldau in the southwest. Military observers say the Germans apparently have checked their retreat in Poland and aro counter attacking They say, however, fchat the xvussians are not to be turned from their pidn, which, is believed to be an attack on Danzig. They argue that tht Germans either must allow East Prussia to be overrun a second time or bring up reinforcements, and that they 'hardly can weaken ?:eir army along the Polish frontier, for that would leave Posen ' and Silesia open to invasion. The allies, naturally, are hoping an effort will be made to relieve East Prussia a: a sacrifice to the German armies in Belgium and (France. TVzll Have Advantage. In any fighting in their own country the Germans will have the advantage over the Russians, as they have a net-work of strategic railways to move their troops quickly and they use more motors U:.an their opponents. "* 1 * x ? ? TT.r?i/>Vl,n Of ATVQroflAnC -vmiiary men <irc w<auv^iimg in this region with deepest interest. In West Flanders ?:e Germans lo ::ot seem to have improved their position to a marked extent. In fact, an unofficial report from the north of v Flanders tonight say tfcey again have lost Dixmude, which they took last T'-ecdav. that their attempts to break down the British resistance around Ypres have failed and tfcat their attack in the vicinity of La Basses has met with' no greater success. Attacks Progressing. The German official report again says the German attacks are progressing and records the capture of prisoners. On th(.- other ::and, the French official communication declares all German attacks have been repulsed and that an advance has been made with the allies nearly every wnere. Vienna admits the Austrians have evacuated Eastern Galicia, but as an offset to this says V:e Sert.ian resistance has been broken and the Austrian* have crossed the Danube, driv. ing the Servians back into their own > country. Vienna also reports that the Austrians have turned their attention to the Montenegrins and are endeavoring ' 1 J." n 4 to force them oacK. Accorums uv <* Montenegrin report they have failed. Accounts from this part of the world are so contradictory that tfce only' thing clear is t:.at t'-e Austrians have virtually c1 eared their country of *he enemy. Needs >Tore Money. England is beginning to learn the cost of tihe European war. A white paper issued today shows that the government intends to ask Parliament gor .$1,125,000,000, which, with their $500,000,000 voted at tfre last session, is expected to be Great Britain's bill for the fiscal year ending March 31. Of this sum, howeher, a small part has been loaned to Belgium and Servia, and some will be used to assist the dominions and the allies to make their financial arrangements. A portion o the money also "will be required for the additional million men to be enlisted, who will brng the English regular army up to 2,186,000. T^e^e figures do not include the territorials, who number nearly 600,080. The new Oregon hotel, at Greenwood. will be opened to the public on v o" tM? we^k
