France Gaily Bleeds.
France gaily bleeds upon her
torn frontiers and counts her
waning wealth of men and ,gold
with still unquailing heart.
Belgium, a shambles and a
house of shame, superbly keeps
the faith with exiled flag and
king beneath the banners of a
' conquerer.
Bewildered Russia groping,
manumitted serf, plays perilously
with sudden rights as children
with a toy they do not understand.
who, in the search for
revelation, break the works
beyond repair.
The path to Austria has taken
an Italian life in toll for every
foot of progress made and after
two years spent upon the stubborn
heights, the farthest sentry
on the last outposting peak is
not a night removed from his
nivn hnnnHaripQ
Rumania struck one blow and
then became a German camp, a
looted realm; and Servian Peter
leads his homeless waifs on alien
soil.
Britain in vain hurls, her full
strength into the West, recruits
unceasing levies for the slaughter
heap. Her constant transports
ply by the Seven Seas, Pathan,
Egyptian, Anzac promptly answer
each fresh call, and the
astounding Prussian, with never
an invading foot upon the
Fatherland, calmly eats their
st?el, presents unbroken fronts,
maintains his hold from Antwerp
to the Dardanelles, and
insolently challenges the world
from pole to .pole its might and
come in arms ^gainst him. x
The end of this grim war is
not in sight. Whoever thinks
the Allied cause is Won has
read his facts amiss.
We have our part to play?a
sad and heavy dauntless part.
We cannot, dare not, fail our

Should Europe yield, as Europe
may, before we can assert .our
strength, America alone must
meet the Central Powers, free
tyen to devote their undivided
fleets and armies to our desolation.

No Better Investment.
m/W' Prom whatever angle it mky
MT considered, an investment by an
^ American citizen in Liberty
Bonds or War Savings Stamps is
the best investment in the world.
The money so invested goes to
the government; which loans
sopie of it to our allies; all of it
is used in one way or another to
maintain. suDDort. arm pnnin
and make victorious our armies
; and our allies in Europe. Surely
no American money could be
tpu? to a better purpose. Here is
an .Investment in the power and
success of our country, an investment
in the... efficiency,;
gtieugth, safety, and success of
oar fighting men on sea and
land.
Are You a Slacker? j
The pnbiic loathes and detest^
a alacker or deserter, and as
proof of how serious an offense
it is far* man on account of
to evade his duty in this man- |
ner punishment of the most I
drastic manner has been pro;
vided. Not eyery man is on the

this fact every man in Amerien, 1
raafdleesof age, has as solemn
and serious' a part in the' win- 1
nfagof this.war as the soldiers
and bailors; and the only limitto
ihst'chity Is the full extent of
o^>?yeeoprces and capabilities.
When-a man has contributed not
only his bit* but his best, then,
and then only, has he any right
1 to an easy conscience. The in!
intelligent and observant people
! of this country will not forgive
; the slacker. In the present
I stress and strain he may not
! have any marked attention paid
to him; but it will be different
when the country settles down,
again to its customary quietude
and serenity. Then the man
, who failed to do his duty will be
the object of loathing and derision.
His children and his
children's children Will pay the
price for his failure to do his duty.
And it should be remembered
| that the man who should be in
; the ranks and is not is not 'the
only slacker. The man who is
I j < i
possessed 01 orain ana Drawn,
and has all the qualifications of a
first-class worker, but instead is
loitering around and not putting
one iota of energy into the great
i task of preparing and keeping
the nation fit for war is a slacker;
and also the man or woman
who refuses to conform his or
her diet to the food rules, but
surreptitiously lavs hold of certain
kinds of foodstuffs in quantities
forbidden by the government
and makes unrestricted use
of them on his table, or refuses
to invest his savings in liberty
bonds- or war savings stamps,
but holds his money for investments
that will yield him seven
or eiffht ner OPnf nr rpfnupa
give what he is able to the Red
Cross or Y. M. C. A.
All slackers are one and the
same in the eyes of the intelligent
public, no matter what the
method or manner in which they
attempt'to evade their duty; and
the public has a contempt for all
such now, and the feeling wili
gather and grow as the years
go by. ?Exchange.
Nr. Timmons Accepts Presidency.
At an adjourned session of
Bethel Presbytery held Monday
morning in the First Presbyterian
church of Rock Hill, the petition |
of the Rev. R. K. Timmons was ;
granted and he was dismissed
from the Presbytery to assume
the presidency of Stillman Institute
. in .Tuscaloosa, Ala. Mr.
Timmons recently had a call to
the pastorate of the First church
of Covington, Va., which he had
accepted but when it was learned
that he contemplated giving up
the charge of the Fort Mill
! church a strong and earnest
appeal was made to him to take
up the work at Stillman Institute
and teach theology in connection
with his duties as president.
The Covington church withdrew
i|s call and Mr. Timmons will
assume the duties of his new
posit ion on July 1.
Stillman Institute is the colored
theological seminary of the
Southern Presbyterian church
and its work is considered among
the more important charges of
the general assembly. For the
past 40 years a number of the
most prominent divines of the
Southern Presbyterian church
have been connected with its
faculty as instructors, among
them being the Rev. J..R. Howerton,
D. D., Rev. J. G. Snedecor,
I). D., Rev. A. L. Phillips,
D. D., and Rev. D. Clay Lilly,
D. D., and the call of Mr. Timmons
to the presidency of the
institution is considered a conspicuous
recognition of his
eminent worth and qualifications.

defects, are to be employed for
limited military service in producing
or handling equipment

men being placed at some kind
of war work and will release
large numbers of fighting men
for the front.
The first call for men under
this new plan has been made.
Nine thousand are to be sent to
the spruce forests of the West,
where lumber is being prepared
for the aviation service. Some
10,000 men of the army are nowengaged
