Inspiring Ceremony Takes Place at Camp Sevier Camp Sevier, Greenville, June 17. Five soldiers of German birth were loudly cheered by a, vast assemblage of soldiers as they renounced'the sov ereignty of Kaiser Wilhelm, and swore fidelity forever to the United States and the Stars and Stripes Fri day morning at the natukralization ceremony at the Liberty Theatre at this camp. Exactly 723 soldiers of foreign birth, representing virtually all the nations of Europe, took the oaths of renunciation of the sovereign of their native. lands, and of alleg iance to the United States, were awarded certificates of citizenship, and are now full-fledged American citizens. The ceremony was one of the most impressive and inspiring ever seen at this camp. It was presided over by Brig. Gen. George W. McIver, acting commander of the 81st division in the absence of Major Gen. Bailey. Judge Joseph T. Johnson, of the federal court, examined the candidates and ladministered the oaths. Short talks to the new citizens were made by Gen. IMelver and Judge Johnson, and musi "cal selections were renderel by the 324th Infantry Band. National and regimental colors were present under guard, and escorted by a provisional company of 100 men from each or ganization. Division staff officers of the 81st division occupied the stage, back of which was draped a huge American flag. An improvised orchestra, made 'up of soldiers of I Alian descent from the provisional delot brigade, fur nished some stirring musical selec tions. --W-S-S MR. COBB QUITS THE RACE Leaves Brantley, 3lcLeod and Tim merman Opposing Lever Columbia, June 17.-Wade Hamp ton Cobb, solicitor of Fifth Judicial District, tonight announced his with drawal from the race for Congress from the Seventh District. In a state nent issued he declared that he takes this action because o- the President's expressed wish. that Air. Lever be re turned. Mr. Cobb said in part: I "Mr. Lever has been in the House nearly sixteen years, and- is now chairman of the committee on agricul ture and in a position, where by reas on on his experience, he can be of im mense value to the country. By reason of this position, and his experience he can do more than any new member from any district could do at this par ticular time. Congress is now in ses sion and he cannot weil afford to be absent to make a canvass of the dis trict. Our great President has said f >r the reasons, Mr. Lever should re main in Congess. Under ordinary cir ,cumnsta"nces this would be an unreas onable request-and in my judgment would not be made by Mr. Wilson 'but these are extraordinary times. In his last address to Congress, the Pres ident said: 'These are days when duty stands stark and nake:s and even with c~os-d eyes we know it is there.' " Mr. Cobb's withdrawal leaves Mr. Lever with only three opponents, Thomas G. McLeod, Thomas F. Brant ley and Geo. Bell Timmerman. -W-S-S TIIitIFT' AND ECONOMY Only one thing is now of real im portance, and that the winning of the war. Th. nation's resources in man-pow er, money, transportation, foodstuffs, raw materials and fuel have already been subjected to heavy strains, and it is the clear duty of every citizen to guard against increasing this strain by a single wasteful act. It is most creditable for everyone --man and wo, boy and girl-to be economical in dress, food andi man ner of living. Every evidence of self denial ona the part of all in a time like tis is most commendable. Thistwar is more than a conflict etenarmies. It is a contes t in which every man, woman and child can and should render real assistance. Thrift and economy are not only a pa rio'tic privilege. They constitute a national duty.
