Geneva, May 26.--The Associated Press is inlformedl that the Geneva Red Cross has received thus far the names of niniety-seven American pris oners in Germany. The list has been forwvarded to Washington: Th~e ma jority of the American prisoners are sailors from captured shipls, who were taken before the dleclaration of a state of war between the United States and Germany, andI therefore, it is claimed, should, according to international law, be released.. Nevertheless, Germany is retaining them as hostages. The American prisoners are interned in twvo camps andl are treated under the same severe regime as are British prisoners. The British prisone'rs receive parcels of food from hame, but the Americans are suffering from hunger andI from lack of necessities. It is claimed they are treatedi badly. LAWN MAKING IN SOUTH CAROLINA Clemson College, S. C., May 19. Successful lawn making is largely de(pendent upon three factors, name-. ly; clearly the site, careful prepara tion of the seed bed, and judlicious selection of the grasses with which the lawn is to be made. In ,preparing the seedl bedl, the physical condition of the soil may be greatly improved by growing some soil building4 crop preparatory to seeding. Peas or velvet beafis may be sown (luring the early sum. mier and the stubble turnedl during September. Tfhe land should have a liberal application (6 to 10 tons per acre) of well decomposed stable ma nure, and 300 to 400 pounds of lime before tu.aning, and should be turnedl and ' ubsoiledl to a depth of from 6 to 12 inches followed by suc cessive harrowing. When a 'perfect seed bed has been made, apply at thd-rate of 600 to 800. pounds per aer7) a complete fertilizer ''iad har row thoroUghly into the flrst few inches of, soll. The lawn grasses should be "ca - fully selected, and only those g1sas es or mixtures used that are adapted, to that, particularly locality and are capable of making a good sod under the existing conditions. A Mixture of Kentucky' blue grass, Bermuda, and White Clover is esbecially suit able for the partially shadkd 'lawn, -the 'blue grass predominating in the shaded and the Bermsuda- in- the unshaded portion while the ' clover keeps the entire lawn green through out the winter. The mixture should be planted during early October, using 30-35 lbs., of blue grass, 4-5 lbs., of white clover, and a proportionate amount' of Bermuda roots per acre. Seeding of the blue grass and clover should follow the planting of the Bermuda roots. The. Bermuda should be planted in rows 18 inches apart and 12 to 15 inches in the row covering I 'to 5 inches deep with the alter nating furrows. Separate sowings of the blue grass and clover should be made, sowing seed broadcast by seeder. Cover lightly either by rak ing or brushing into the soil fol lowed by a light rolling. 4,325 LIABLE IN SUMTER Registration Figures . for County Given at Meeting. Sumter, May 16.-A meeting of the' board of registers for Sumter County under the selective draft act recently pased by Congress ,was held tod'ay at noon in the court house. The mem bers of the board, John H. Clifton, chairman; H. L. Scarborough, clerk of court, and Thomas E. Richardson, judge of probate, had previous to the meet'ng appointed registrars for the diff rent voting precincts and all of those were notified and were present at the meeting today. Matters of de tail were gone over carefully and all necessary registration cards and reg istration certificates were distributed, and machinery set in motion for reg istration of all males between the ages of ewenty-one ana thirty-one on June 5. * Just after the meeting was called to order by the chairman, Mr. H. L. Scarborough presented a compiled list of men subject to draft made 'from the tax returns and other dgta gotten up by him. This tabulation showed that there are 4,325 men subject to the call in this county, distributed as fol lows in the different townships and voting precincts: Concord, 300; May esville, 256; Manchester, 100; Wedge field, 200; Privateer, 325; Providence, 400; Rafting Creek, 300; Statesburg, 350; Shiloh, 300; Sumter Ward 1, 350; Sumter Ward 2, 700; Sumter Ward 3, 400; Sumter Ward 4, 350; totaling 4,325. This includes all ne groes within the prescribed ages and is a conservative estimate of the number of men found in the county who would be subject to registration under the proclamation of the Presi dent. It was decided to have all re istra tion places as near general election places as possible in order that there might not be any difficulty in locat ing the places to register. As much publicity as possible will be given to the work so that everything will move along smoothly on the appointed clay. PASSES FIRST READING.
