Ge;?. i,oor..ird Wood in a confcieniial Ma^r.ient today before th? senate military committee, declarer that allied military opinion is unanimous that the German offensive wil fail, and urged a ?jeat increase?tc 4,000,000 or 5,000,000 men?in America's army. it was General Wood's opinion, ac cording to his auditors, that the Ger mans on the Western front now are numerically superior, both on the ground and in the air, but that the al_ lies are in a better position. While ? confident that the German offensive r-will be halted before the enemy has gained any material objective, Genera' Wood suggested that the offensive Tinftv rhanere the warfare into a more open contest. For that reason he rec. ommended the training of Americar forces for open warfare as well as foj trench fighting. The general was before the com. ? mittee for three hours ana irautuj discussed the situation in Europe an* *t home. Stating that the French an L ^disappointed in the size of the Ameri. can army thus far sent to Europe, acBf cording to commiittee members, h? recommended immediate steps to increase both the American expeditionary forces and the army in training in this country. Chairman Chamber, lain said General Wood recommended that an army of 2,500,000 men b? - ? 3 5- of tVio oarlip?) mamiaiueu m j.- i ?.nv. v. , possible moment and 2,5^)0,000 mor< in training at home.

General Wood also recommended ? ? imivarroi milifarv train vuiixpuioui J UU>'Vi.;?t - J Iing. Flyers Wait for Machines. In urging that the American w'r program of men, ships and munitions be speeded up and increased. Genera1 Wood said no American artillery or airplanes are yet available to Genera] Pershing's* men, and that although L 1,000 American aviators are ready they are without planes. lTse of Libfl^^erty motors in'bombing instead of righting machines also was recom. Inended by General Wood. Commenting on the German oftensive. General Wood, according members of the committee, said that, although the initial success of the Germans probably had been greater " ' v *- n-. ^ ^ _ "" Than expected eitner oy me aii^s v;i the enemy, judged bv the number o! British guns reported captured, he and allied officers believed the driv? 'will be short-lived. There is no possibility, he said, of the Germans attaining their apparent objective, the channel ports, or threatening' Paris. Explaining the viewpoint of the allied officers with whom he recently talked and who were expecting thrj present attack, he said the Germans soon will reach more difficult ground . to traverse, while the British and French retire to superior prepared positions at which the German offensive will be stopped.

Please run thi cut in every issre of vonr paper i: some prominent place.

There is no more effAtiv means than the newspaper tV state. We certainly appreciate you kind cooperation in the past. If you cannot use the cut pleas return same to this office. Yours faithfully, Of course we want to do all w can to help the government, and t help the country to win the war, am to heln our boys who are over there and those who are yet to j?o otc: And we will run the cut, as we hav been running a lot of other stuff .tha is sent us from the different depart ments, but we confess to a little weak ness which makes us?well, not fee just like we should, when we gc these letters which somehow impres us that the fellow who is sendir.; them out assumes a sort of command ing air, and directs how we shall us them, and where we shall play then up. We can't help but wonder if h writes to the merchant, to shell ou his dry <roods and his groceries, am to me nanner 10 snen oui ms cuti from his vaults, in the same way tha we shall shell out our space, the onl: thing we have to sell. And if w don't use the cut we are directed t< send it back to his office. The gov ernment hauls it to us for nothing but the government will not haul i from us to him unless we prepay t?< postage. But in these times the ploddin: masses must overlook a great man; things from those clothed with a littli brief authority, and so we are croini along and doing the best we can t do our part by the government, am to help our boys who are in the fir ing line. There is so sacrifice to; great for us, if it will help them. Th? people must buy thrift stamps anbonds and save wheat so that th hoys may not suffer. And this reminds us that the las notice that the local committee ha< about the thrift stamp campaign, the; passed up The Herald and News. W* mention this because we want th< public to know that this paper ha not refused to carry anything thai i could that would in the least hcli the cause. We want this war to end and the quickest way to end it is t fight it vigorously and with all yoU might and all your resources. We published a statement from th1 Greenwood Journal which it too! from the Greenville Piedmont In re gard to the questionnaires of Con pressman Lever and stated editorial ly that we failed to see the matt? referred to in the Piedmont. Since then we have seen the com ments ot the Piedmont itself. Aft* statins the questions the Piedmon says: This is frank and to the noint. Mr. Lever has not asked for tin advice of the press, but he is we! come to the opinion of the Piedmon concerning this matter. It is possible for Mr. Tillman to o* elected. All things are possible. Bu his announcement is by no meam equivalent to election. The second question cannot be an. swered by any man except the con gressman himself. If Consressmar Lever is a man's man. inspired by 2 high sense of duty to America, ant resolves to serve America at whatever cost to himself and his friends then it is his obvious duty to get into this race and accept from Souti Carolina a seat in the senate. Tf h< is not a man's man?if. in short, he considers a "strong desire not to an tagonize the desires of Senator Tillman" a thing of greater importance than the opportunity to serve the nttion. then it is not his fluty to offei for the senate, for South Carolina needs in the senate a man of larff? calibre. The third question Is easily as. swer^d. There is no other in SontJi Carolina. representing President ":-uv who wonif] more like } 'f-ni! the field. If Mr Lever desires n seat in th* senate he may have it, provided his t: sense of responsibility and his desire ^ '.-owe are vital enough and com- C( - 'in? enough to drag hT?n into tha j; race regardless of Mr. Tillman's de- jj But if Mr. Tillman's desires come nr?t. and service to the country seco"d.
