E f London.?To the observer in the j rear coc ipit 01 ine iasi rsnussu uomu-1 ing machine the scene hardly appeared j to change from minute to minute. The i engine roared, the sunlight came slant-! I Ing iii onto his knees, a biting wind j \ beat on his face, and below was the j 1 V slightly hazy surface of the sea, while : o to the right lay the dim line of the ; f] Belgian coast, whicL> swept away to b the 'vider silver reaches of the Scheldt; I ^^tuiry. Ahead of him two British j maciines flew in the same direction,; c "with their propellers seeming to re- l volve lazily, as they always do when c seen from another machine. The observer continually scanned the air r above and below the machine, and ex- t amined every now and then the sur-j face of the sea. I s 1 Suddenly the front machine turned t ^ , to the right and began to fly toward , B the coast Its occupants had evidently c |K seeit something of importance. Looking below, the observer of the back . w machine saw a few miles from the MP Zeefcrussre mole six little shapes which 11; seemed stationary on the gray sea. I H German Destroyers. W They were German destroyers which " * .were in reality steaming at top speed toward the coast Gradually the airplanes drew nearer and nearer and J goon were but a few miles from the' ( land. | T Near the front machine appeared a 1 11 Kail cmnt(* Annthep ' * BIllUU UtaVA i/au v* appeared, and another, and the ob-. server could hear the sharp crack of? f the bursting shells. A moment 'later ( the second machine entered the zone J of bursting shells, some leaving white | smoke, and others leaving black or: evii-looking yellow vapor. Along the coast line he could see the little red tftachoa nf the> anti-aircraft batteries, j tNow, however, they were almost over ! ' the destroyers, which were beginning I k ib zigzag as the danger of the coin-j Ing attack was realized. j A W ts and coats arc clusively tailored irments are mai Hoat Suits nprising many reproductions of ry Suit different.

Mimnaugh Tne oDserver saw six black cylin ers drop spinning frort the front ma- I hine, and then, with his two reins j ound the pilot's arms in front, he teered the machine to the right and ?ft as he watched the destroyer hrough the wires and bars of his omb sight. Even as he was directas the machine he saw the great ^ rhite clouds of steam, smoke and waer leap up from the sea near the detroyer. The second destroyer, which was ow steering an airaosi uireci course, ppeared below his range bars. He . urned the pilot slightly to the right | a order that ife might allow for the peed of the boat, and slowly pushed J ver his bomb levers, one by one. Be-' | ow the wings he had a mfjmentary j ;limpse of the yellow, fish-like bombs j ushing downward. He shouted to the tilot, and they turned quickly away \ rom the inferno of shells which were; ursting all around them. ! Scores Direct Hit The observer stood up and watched j ntently what was going on below. i fear the destroyers appeared the < rhite smoke and spray of a bomb. t Lnother followed, atid another. Then , >n one of the destroyers a great red \ [ash appeared and the center of the ; oat was left clouded In smoke. He 1 ( lad scored one direct hit He shouted ] ,'xcitedly to the pilot as one of the , [estroyers dropped out of line and , ciade swiftly for its mortally wour.ded , i 1 onsort. j 1 The British airplanes returned and } eported what had happened. A pa- ; . rol returning a few hours later jstat- ] d that they had seen five German detroyers returning toward Ostend. ?y ! hen the sixth, torn and shattered, lay pith many another twisted and rasty ompanion, under the sea. :ELT FOR SHOES UNDER BAN ; Manufacturer of Heel Pads and Inner Soles Stopped by War Industries Soard. __ | I Washington,?Box-toed shoes, felt leel pads and felt inner soles are \ loomed for the period of the war.

This was the ! statement made here by officers of the ; irmy quartermaster's department, j svhich cirects this mammoth work of! supplies. It gives an idea of the vast stock ( of reserve resources stored in the j miles of warehouses stretching from ; Ll~ ? ? ? ? 4-/\ fV?A <r V? finor firto I LI16 CUU&L JXllUliU IV uic uguiiuQ , and it is a comforting assurance, too, j that this huge reserve will be kept j up through the coming winter period,' so that the American soldier's warmth, j as well as his food and clothing, will j be fully looked after. Some Big Job. It is a liuge undertaking to feed a million men even for a single day?a million men scattered to a thousand points, in trenches, on battlefields and camps, along 300 miles of front and for a depth of 500 miles. And when are j added housing and clothing and the period is extended through the winter months of cold and frost, with the prospect that another million or two of men may be headed this way before long?with these elements one gets some idea of the magnitude of the '? np mriyo suppiy pruuitJULi iui ~<x liiiiiiuu vi uivi v men. Here at the center of the system, where the receipts are regulated and the distribution made, there was an opportunity of learning some of the details of how the system operates. 1 In the food branch alone it takes over 4,000,000 pounds of food every day to feed the army. This prodi gious daily consumption 01 iwu embraces 1,000 pounds of flour baked into a million pounds of bread every day, 875,000 pounds of fresh beef, 875,000 pounds of potatoes, 200,000 pounds of sugar and 125,000 pounds ol tomatoes. The pepper and salt for a single day. is 42J500 pounds. _ y , ' ' Coat Suits B? W 1WI ' 'W ; 77ns ( A r ;st manufacture ?]y trimmed.

I.L e Always in Army coffee is roasted at the rate of 70,000 pounds a "day, and it takes 20,000 pounds \>f solidified alcohol to cook this coffee through the montn. The beef is the bulkiest product used each day, and occupies a daily space of 45,000 cubic feet, or about the dimensions of a business block, of solid meat. Flour comes next, requiring 25,000 cubic feet of daily space, and potatoes about the same. A Few Daily Items. These are only a few of the main items. But the list runs all through the many requirements of the overco?i nrmv mtfon. with vast Quantities " ' ? - I in each case. Here are some of the other daily items: Bacon, 225,000, pounds; beans, 75,000 pounds; rice,| 50,000 pounds; onions, 250,000 pounds;! evaporated fruit, 70,000 pounds; jam, 70,000 pounds; milk, 62,500 pounds; vinegar, 40,000 pounds; lard, 40,000 pounds; butter, 31,000 pounds; syrup, 40,000 pounds. These being included in the oversea ration, every one of the million men Is entitled to his full ^allowance, and it must go forward to mm wnerever he is. So that besides the vast daily stock there is the question ol unfailing daily delivery, first by railways and camion trains, and then to the individual soldier. Besides this 4,000,000 pounds of food moving forward daily to the troops, each man carries with him two days' emergency ration, 5 pounds to the man, an additional 5,000,000 pounds of food for an army of a million men. Of the emergency ration, carried on the back, Hipr#> is outstanding every day 2,000, )00 pounds of corned beef and 2,000,-; 000 pounds of hardtack, 300,000 pounds of sugar, 62,500 pounds of coffee, 20,-' 000 pounds of salt, and 500,000 pounds of solidified alcohol for heating and cooking while on march. ^ I \ XOTICE OF ELECTION. i 1 I STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, County of Newberry.
