THURSDAY. AUG. 8. 1918.
General Foch.
Foch is the typical French
soldier.
He w is born on Aug. 4, 1851,
at Tarb-is, a little city in the
Pyrenees, where his father held
an administrative post.
His education was obtained in
provincial cities and at the
Ecole Polytechnique, which he
entered in 1871. He passed
through various garrisons as an
aitillery officer and in 1884 was
admitted to the Ecole de Guerre
as a student.
Twelve years later, ranking
then as a Major, he returned to
the Ecole de Guerre as an instructor.
After five years in
this professorship, in which he
showed brilliant powers and
exercised a great influence over
the studehts, he was sent back
to the line as a Lieutenant
Colonel. In 1907 he was transferred,
as a Brigadier General,
to the post for which he was
pre-eminently marked out, that
of Commandant of the Ecole de
Guerre, where for four years he
worked to increase the efficiency
of that institution. Later he
was given the post of honor of
the French Army, the 20th
Corps, Headquarters, Nancy.
There the war found him.
Doctors Seek Co operation.
At the meeting recently of the
York Medical association the
following resolutions were
adopted:
Resolved: That we the undersigned
physicians of York count}
do hereby offer our services tt
our country, and are willing tt
apply for commissions wher
called upon by the State committee,
or other authorized
agency. The order was passed
by the York County Medical
Society at a meeting August 1st,
1918, also the following:
We the physicians of York
County, S. C.. do wish to briny
it before the public and to our
patients that now as the war is
thinning our ranks and making
it harder on the ones left at
home, we are asking as a favor
now (which a little later will be
a necessity) that you help us.
This you can do by not calling
us unhss necessary, especially
at nigh', as a physician is not a
machine and is obliged to have
his rest if you wish him to be
tip to standard. Then again a
great many can come to the
doctor's office for examination
arid treatment. This will save
both time for the doctor and
nionev for the Datient as office
work is not as high as visits.
Clover Woman Shoots Husband.
Robert Blackwood, aged 35,
mill operative of Clover, was
shot and instantly killed at
6 o'clock Tuesday morning b>
Wis wife, Lizzie Blackwood,
'aged 26. The bullet was fired
fjrom a .38 calibre revolver and
pehetrated the heart. An inquest
was held by Corom r
McManus, following which Mrs.
Blackwood was committed to
jail. Her version of the affair
is that during a dispute her husband
snapped the pistol at her
And when she got possession of

it at him, not thinking it
would fire. She claims the pistol
was not considered dangerous,
as it would seldom explode.
Mrs. Blackwood has one child,
aged two years.

county offices, together with the

two negroes, alleged deserters
from Camp Jackson, who
have evaded arrest since March,
were captured Sunday morning
in an underground chamber beneath*
a stable at the home of
Pete Hardin, father of one of
ti\e runaways and granufalhei
of the other, four miles south 01
York.* Sheriff Quinn and othei
officers, after making a careful
i search of the nremises were nn
the point of leaving when one of
the party uncovered a trap door
which led to the subterranean
apartment. The chamber was
about six feet high, six feet in
width and eight feet long and
was dug by the negroes and had
been occupied by them, according
to their statement, since
March 25. All the dirt removed
by the excavation had been carted
awav. The only articles in
the apartment were the unifoims
of the deserters and a few quilts
to sleep on. When found the
negroes were slow to come out
of their den, ,but a little parleying
convinced them of the futility
of their resistance. Their
(only weapon was an unloaded
pistol.

SEVEN REA8ON8 FOR

There are seven good reasons
why the government has Issued
War Savings Stamps:
1. Save for your country's
sane, because It is now spending
millions a day. and must And
moot of the money out cf sayings.
2. Save for your own sake,
beoause work and wages are
plentiful and. while prices are
high now, a dollar will buy more
after the war.
3. Save because, when you
spend, you make other people
work for you, and the work of
everyone is needed now to win
the war.
4. Save because, by saving, you
make things cheaper for everyone.
especially far those who are
posrer than you.
5. Save because, by gokig

on ships, djcks. and railways,
and make transport cheaper and
quicker.
6. Save because, by saving,
you set an example that makes
it ersler for the next man to
save. A saving nation is an
earning nation.
7. Save because every tiffce
you save you help twice. Arst
when you don't spend, and again
