the I M EKTA1NTY of inE SEiOND KEiilMENT Columbia, Feb. 5.?As lias been ioieshadowed in this correspondence, international complications may deiay the reiurn of the Charleston Lignt Dragoons and other South Carolina troops on me Mexican border. luiormation received in Columbia tonight rn the effect that the Souiii Carolina units of the national guard. t which nau been scheduled for an ear# return home, have been retain the Mexican border. Their re turn was suspended, it was stated, al ter they had entrained for their trip ^ home. The report here tonight is to the ef A feet that after the South Carolina and I Tennessee units had already entrain ed for home an order was received br General Funston suspending the. return of all State guard troops. ! Columbia, Feb. ?"So far as any one can now see, it will not be long until all of your troops are back,' says Secretary of War Baker to Gov ernor Manning in a letter received at the governor's office today. The let ter bears the date of February 2, pri or to the severance of diplomatic re lations between the United States and Germany. Whether or not the pres ent acute situation will delay the re turn of the Second South Carolina regiment from the Mexican border, or whether they may be returned and held in readiness here, or returned and demobilized subject to . call, was discussed in official circles here to day, but there was no definite infor mation upon which to base an opin ion. | dAA*A4??tf Tlfo w D-o Itat* in liia lot CUll V nai uanti , iu uu ?v? . ter to Governor Manning, says: "Your letter of January 29th ought to have had an earlier acknowledg- j inent, but I have been endeavoring to hurry home from the border as rapid ly as I could the troops already desig nated to return, and find the problem of transportation so involved that it does not seem possible to meet your! washes in the matter of the Second South Carolina. I can say, however, that .just as rapidly as the trains cau : tring them these soldiers are coming and that so far as any one can now' see, it will not be long until' all of your troops are back." j Under date of January 29.. Governor Manning had written the secretary of var urging that the Second Soutn Carolina be sent to Washington !n time for the inauguration ceremonies , and that they be sent home from; Washington to be mustered out. In j Tie'iv of the correspondence between; the governor and the secretary of war it appears that the Second infantry troiii this State will be on tne uorut. for'some little time yet. Messages received in Columbia to-' day support the idea that Troop A. of covolry (Charleston Light Dra-| goons) will probably leave the border; tomprrcw and arrive in Charleston the i last.of this week or the first of nextt As was forecast in this correspon-| dence several weeks ago, they will, in , al] probability, go direct to Charles ton. where they will either be muster ed oat or receive such orders as may! be deemed necessary by the war de partment, in view of developments in the international situation between eons, And the time of their arrival. ? fifilil l\; I tip fi 1 HM (k The rupture of relations between tlie (' United States an:i Germany has re sulted in a general lack of definite information as to troop movements. y State officials here today "had no information of an official character In regard to international complications. ; They said the only news which they had received was that contained iu the press dispatches. The fact that later news in regard to the entire situation than any other newspaper circulated in the capital was the sub ject of general comment today, and The American was very heartily con gratulated upon its news service. ENTENTE D1 POM ATS HOPE AMERICA WON'T ENTER WAR Those in Washington Inclined to Re liCTe That for This Country to Re main Out of (lonilict Would be Best hi for All Concerned?Neew Munitions tl Most a( E Washington. Feb. 6.?Entente dip- M Umats here frankly express their si hope that the United States will not r> actually enter the war. al Several of the allies' representa- tc tives lei it be known today that they entertained a growing fear that Ger many deliberately precipitated a break jr with this country in order to hold p American munitions and supplies D( here, thus cutting off imports to tie n cntente. probably more effectively in than any single step that the central r, powers could take. Immensely gratified over the break with Germany and the moral con- P demnation thereby implied, the dip- B lomats have been surprised at the en- m ergy which the American govern-1 ment "has shown in laying out its | w plans for eventualities and do not, d' conceal their fear that military pre caution may force the United States to "keep at- home at least a ^rnsid erable part of the supplies now going j ^ abroad. Such an outcome, they say, j g would raore than compensate for a; mere break in relations from the Ger- j man viewpoint. Even if the United States shouid; ir undertake to arm and equip an army o for operations in Europe, it would re-i'p quire nearly a year of training, it in j declared. In the meantime, the enten- i it: BpuKesiiien poini out mat an tne effort and energy that this country c' might be putting forth towards the! military defeat of Germany would go \ 1 jnto channels that could not lead to that end. unless the war was pro- j - lonced beyond all belief. i The greatest military aid hoped for from this country in entente circles! in c.ise of actual war is the safe-' guarding of 'American trade channels, including the American end of the to Fvrone ?nd the section down j tVoncrh the Caribbean, especially to-1 R - nr^c! the Tamnico oil fields. A great g anq unrestricted submarine campaign would make this a matter of first importance and provide a heavy task for the American naval forces. ) ? / j A flash of lightning lights up the! ground for one-millionth of a second,: yet it seems to last much longer.
