Ol'B BOYS MAKE A RECORD
IN FRANCE
Columbia, Dec.^.?Speaking before
the meeting of the South Carolina
council ~*&f defense, Senator Christie
Benet told of the exploits of the 30th
division in the fighting on the Western
*?* Danot cnirf he had been
iruuu 1*1*. w? ?
told by officers who knew the facts
that the 30th has been recognized as
one of the typical American fighting
units of Pershing's army, and had
oorue the brunt of the fighting around
Belleau wood. The orders were issued
foi the first advance to be made
by Australian troops, who were to be
followed to the second objective by
men of the 30th. When the Carolina
boys went forward they continued to
advance, reaching the third otyective
which had been assigned to the
Australians. Their advance was so
' rapid that the Australians could not
follow and the Carolina boys were
caught in a trap, which the Germans
had laid, a number of the enemy being
concealed in a tunnel. When this
was discovered the Carolina boys were
attacked on the front and rear, but
fought their way out witn severe losses,
though receiving the plaudits of
the seasoned Australians. One comp.iny
duplicated the experiance of the
famous "Lost Batallion" and Senator
"t ndded that modesty or some
other influence Jhad withheld from
these boys the publicity which their
heroic fighting deserved. Mr. Benet
had the state council adopt treasures
looking to the secuirng of the official
face for arecord to be given to the
newspapers and the state historian.
The Trees and ihe Hero Memorials.
While the communities of the coun.
try, large and small, are getting their
m. iiigs as to the character of the
ermanent mentorials to the heroes
of the world war there will be com lete
unanimity as to the wisdom of
formal tree- planting in parks, on

Curiously enough, Joyce Kilmel,
one of the militant poets who gave,
up their lives for their country, evidently
had a premonitory sense that
the tree was a figure more largely
and emotionally in American life. And
it would be fitting, therefore, if, where
ver the tree memorials to our soldiers
and sailors he set up there should
appear in imperishable bronze his
lovely tiibute that makes the trees,

as follows:
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing
breast;
A tree that looks at God all day
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
* nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bo6om snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
THE FARMER IS THE CORNERSTONE
OF THE NATION.
Among the undeniable benefits that
the war has conferred upon the nation
is the awakening of peoples and governments
to the imortance of the food
problem. What the economically dependent
nations kno\ now they knew
before; but either because they could ,
not take the requisite measures for |
their own protection or because they
trusted to luck, not one of them had
safeguarded itself against the future.
They are now suffering the consequen

ces of their failure, says the Youths
Companion.
In the years of plenty Joseph ii
Egypt had the good sense to lay in i
stock of wheat against the comin,
dearth. Even Germany, boastful o
its foresight and efficiency, had n
Joseph; or if it had one, it was a Jc
seph that confined his statesraanshi
to accumulating guns and aminun;
tion and boots and shoeB lather tha:
grain. Nor had Great Britian a states
man bold enough to act upon the fre
quent urgings of farsighted student
of the food question that great store
of foodstuffs be established while sup
plies could be obtained. Nothing e>
cept the British command of the sea
has saved the people of the Britis
Isles from a choice between starvs
tion and surrender.
It is unlikely that the lesson of th
last four years has been lost upon th
ruling powers of Europe. In ever
country that has to import grain an
meat we shall see measures to estab
lish and to fill granaries aijd store
houses as a protection against ba

from hardship and misery if it ha'
adopted that coursd, Great Britiai
need not have feared any serious die
aster from the U-boat, if it had no
been dependent upon a hand-to-mout,
supply of food from abroad.
In order to carry out plans to ac
cumulate food in the countries tha
produce too little there mu6t be an in
crease of production everywhere. I;
normal times the supply of grain
and meats the world over is only
little more than the amount consum
ed. A widespread policy of accumula
tion without an- Increase of suppl
would derange all the markets of th
world and might bring about such a:

would threaten famine in large dis
tricts. Consequently every country yil
try to increase the crop areas and t
cultivate them more intensively.

THE NEXT GREAT WAR
Pneun^onic plague, imported froi
China as a consequence of the worl<
war!
That's the substance of the '"Spar
ish influenza" explaination offered in
New York medical journal by D
James J. King of the United State
Army Meidcal Corps.
Three hundred and fifty thousan
lives have thus far been lost in tb
United States since tire epidemi
reached "An Atlantic Port" in th
summer of 1918.
Other explanations than that offere
by Dr. King fail to take into accour
all the facts. The disease is indeper
dent of climate conditions. It ha
raged in damp Boston, in moist Cleve
land and Detroit, in windy Chicago, i
dry Arizona, in balmy Los Angeles, i
frozen Alaska and in warm Porto Rlc
with equal fury.

he says, "has been fearfully high.
"In 1917"' adds Dr. King, "aboi:

the northern part of China, whet

d vals since 1910, and were sent t

In Marc*., 1918, some of these Chi

It had gone around the world in les

Dr. King believes pneumonia an
