Germany Hist Yield.
It seems necessary that another
turn be (riven to the Armistice
screw in order to bring Germany
to her knees in the dust, where
she belongs.
Ever since the latest extension
o*f the Armistice, the Germans
have grown more and more
truculent. Threats against the
Allies have been made by the
representatives of all classes in
Germany, from the "reds," up
through the ruck of political riffraff
represented by Ebert and
the Socialists of various stripes
and streaks, and on through the
Doktorial and Professorial classes
to the highest intelligentsia
represented by suoh men as
Hauptmann.
These men Must realize that
such threats are worse than
iseless. The Associated Powers
? we must demobilize this long
and awkward phrase to simple
"Allies"?are in position to
crush Germany to powder. As
General Gouraud cooly informed
the officials of Wisebaden, '"We
have the will and the power,"

playing to "galleries" that we
do not see, and trusting to a
psychology that we do not understand.
But whatever may be the explanation,
it must soon cease.
The Supreme War Council has
determined that it must cease.
^ The Armistice must be renewed
17. and new and
terms will be imposed.
Not ofrly will the reluctant Germans
L?eNforced to meet at once
the previous terms and conditions,
but they will be made
to accept still severer terms that
will make it utterly impossible
for them to talk war or to think
war.
The foolish blusterers will have
only themselves to blame. They
and their people will have to pay
for a vainglorious effort to pose
as "unbeaten," even in the very
presence of the victors.
The new terms of the Armistice
will doubtless make that
instrument virtually part of the
peace terms themselves. They
will reveal very fully, no doubt,
the nature, perhaps the extent,
of the conditions that the conquerers
of German and Turk
will impose unon the malicious
J-'-i 1 r i
uisiuroers 01 universal peace.?
The State.
Gathering Their Forces.
Quietly, unostentatiously, but
with a union of effort that shows
a serious purpose and bespeaks
success for Chat purpose?the
Methodists of the country are
gathering their forces for a gigantic
campaign. The movement,
to be known as the Centenary
Campaign, is two-fold in
"purpose: first, a revivified church
and second, a church with sufficient
financial resources to meet
the opportunities snd obligations
of today. The M. E. church.
South, is centering its forces and
rallying its members in the
Southern and Western States,
while from one end of Methodism
to the other the challenge of the
church has gone forth.
A newspaper correspondent.
not a member ot the congregation,
was present recently at a
meeting of the executives who
are back of the movement. This
correspondent declared that "the
men behind the guns of this Centenary
campaign went into that
meeting on their knees and came
out of it on their knees, while
between times they worked out
the most practicable plan for
a mammoth drive I have ever
witnessed." This looks as though
the church was uniting spiritual,
fervor with practical business'
methods, and the result of such
a union holds potent possibilities
for the church of the immediate
future.

Sheriff Thomas and Deputy
Sheriff J. E. Watkins of Cherokee,
captured a distillery Friday
about fourteen mites from Gaffney
on the waters of Big Thicketv
creek. Two whjte men were
at worK wnen the officers arrived
but both made their escape, carrying
with them a jug which the
officers suppose contained whiskey.
The still was located at a
place which it was very difficult
to approach quietly, which accounts
for the fact that the men
succeeded in making their escape.
The State convention of the
W. O. W., which waB to have
been held in Rock Hill on March
18 and 19, is to be held in Spartanburg
instead. The reason for
the change, according to Mr.
Max G. Bryant, who conferred
with the executive cornmitte in
Columbia, is becanse health conditions
in Rock Hill, and the possibility
that the quarantine now
in force, might suddenly be reinstituted
on short notice. The
Women's Auxiliary of the W. O.
W.t which was to have met in
Rock Hill at the same time, may
also be changed to Spartanburg.

They did everything in their
power to fit William II for the
burdensome task which awaited
him, says Maurice Muret in the
Atlantic Monthly.
being solicitous to make of him
a mah sound of body and in
mind, they attached equal importance
to bodily exercises and
intellectual tasks. The prince
was born with a withered left
arm, so that he was manifestly
unfitted for most kinds of sport.
Nevertheless, a methodical system
of training made him an
accomplished sportsman. As a
child he showed marked predilection
for aquatic sports and
performed some genuine exploits
in that field. The ponds
of Potsdam held no mysteries

traversed them in all directions,
in all weathers. It is told of
him one day, between 6 o'clock
in the morning and 3 in the
afternoon, he accomplished an
itinerary including the circuit of
the Isle of Potsdam and a trip
to the Isle of Peacocks?in all,
going and returning, about 42
kilometers. It was on Wednesdays
and Saturdays, during the
summer months, that the young
prince performed these prodigies.
Accompanied by his younger
brother. Prince Henry, and a
tutor, he would set out at dawn
and not return till evening.
They lunched on an island on
eatables which they had taken
good care to fetch, and which
they warmed in the ashes of a
huge fire of dead branches,
playing that they were Indian
chiefs on a hunting trip.
