With the French Army in France . Ai g '.j. (By Associated Press.)?After , toe battle of the Avre, the situation ci the belligerents presents a change vMen for rapidity and extent has rare?v been approached in military history. Marshal Foch's strategy and the tactics of the generals com ' raand-ng the armies and groups o 1 r:rfe3 under him, have in three weeks wrested from the Germans what reQuired fjur months for them to obtain at a cost variously estimated at from 700,000 to 1,000,000 men. The immediate results of the counter offrn^ive which will have the great *-.? luring on substantial operations, are the clearing of the Chateau-Thierry pocket, ending- the menace to Paris, the elaboration cf iMontdidier, ending the menace to Amiens; the freeing of * * ' * -? 4 TO i 1 r-ncs rl 11 n me important cu.oi.cm VHU from Paris to Chalons, and the equally . important northern line from Paris to Amiens, restoring to the allies means of communication which give them enormously greater ease in future movement of troops. Line Will Stand. ; These successes render impossible I any rupture of the line which would j separate the French armies of the center from those to the east, or a rupture <->f tha innction between the French ! and British. The most disastrous conI sequence to the Germans, aside from the heavy losses they sustained in men | ^nd material, is the collapse of the drive wedges into the allied lines and | the substantial widening and joining which would have threatened general dislocation I Marshal Foch's strategy in reducing , the salient wedges wrested the initiai tive in operations from the Germans at once obliging them either to order ' a general retreat to a strong line such as the Somme, or to engage reserves. i 0 | The enemy adopted the second alter: native, which having failed, makes rotirpmpnt immensely more j .K* ?

The Germans must hold their position at high cosi, or abandon Noyon, which means the fall of Roye and Lassingy, which already are under imminent menace of capture The disaster which menaces General von Hutier's army has been averted I for the moment. The few narrow pas. sages which now are open for the withdrawal of his stores are so harrassed by the bombs of aviators and the fire of heavy artillery that prompt escape is impossible, rendering probably a desperate effort by the Germans to cling to their 1914 line.

As a precaution against coal shortage during the coming winter consumers are ?d cd to put in wood in quantities that will represent a considerable part of their needs for the winter. It has been ascertained that the Southern Power Company, the source of the current for Newberry lights, is now using some coal in the production rf this current. The State Adrainis- < 'rator has ruled that Newberry is subject to the "Lightless Night" order. For the information of consumers who have not preserved a copy of this order as it appeared recently in the , pre-s attention is called to the following items: I "Out-door lights within a city, vil lage or town, which involve directly or indirectly, the use or consumption of coal, oil, gas, or other fuel, shall not be lighted until thirty minutes after sunset" . "The use of light generated or produced by the use or consumption of coal, oil, gas or other fuel, for illuminating or displaying advertisements, announcements or signs, or for the .external ornamentation of any building shall be entriely discontinued on Monday and Tuesday cf each week.'* "The use of lights generated or producted by the use or consumption of fuel for illuminating or displayiL., any shop windows, store windows w*j any signs in show windows, shall be : discontinued on Monday and Tuesday . of each week."

Opera Hoiii f J ??******** - * * COLLEGE NEWS. * Some of our friends are apprehen. sive of the effect upon the enrollment e engage of the proposed promissicn of the draft law calling upon iren between the ages of eighteen and forty-live to register. Ther? should he no uneasiness. The men from 31 to 45 years will be called first, then those from 20 to 25; then next those from 19 to 20, ana iasr those from 18 to 19. Also, the government is now at work on a plan to enroll all college students for drill in their own college and placed them in a deferred class until they reach the age of 21, unless they should be urgently needed before. Besides most parents take the very sensible and absolutely correct view, that unless a ' voung man is called to the service, he should be in college when called The advantage of this is obvious. The boys want to know whether there will be usual athletic sports next session. Yes, there will be games and doubtless inter-collegiate games. But there will not be the usual amount of expense and time given. Military science and tactics will take up a part of fhe time heretofore given to athletics. The college authorities believe b">th the student body and the "ublio. in these times of serious call for preparation for war and for work 7r? T%roT activities, will approve this position Put athletics will continue to be a lively interesing and beneficial p?**t of our college life. Dr. A. J. Bowers spent last weeiv in ;Effingham county. Georgia, in the interest of the college. Dr. E. B. Setzler will represent the college this week in the Pomaria section of Newberry county. Prof. J. C Kinard will return from Columbia universifv. Xns.
