permitted the exquisite lieautltude of
beholding the grandeur, beauty and
permanency of the greatest elty pf the
world, from the outward appearances,
from the ears and along the thorough'
fares one revelation after another ap
l>ears to the vision hi quick succession
reminding one of the handiwork of
God. The first night after our ar
rlvil I took a trolley car and m?:de the
trip to Coney Island twenty miles
away for a dime each way and the
electrical displays there, Keen,from the
outside, l? worth a trip to this city
to see. I am told that hoiuc_ men
spend as high a? a hundred dollars a
night In things nauseatJng to speak of,
and I advise my friends taking the
trip to see Coney Island only from
the outside, If what I am told Is true.
Vou hare read of the Statue of Lib

a reminder to the Incoming
throngs fleeing from the bondage of
tyranleul rule that they are entering

they can sing freedom's song and

combat national decay by educating
the hands to carve nature Into sym

ee the negligence along one or more ^
of these lines by the vast throngs |
of humanity seen each day here where^j
opportunities to enjoy real, life are^
thrown to the winds for a little ad

Bathing Nt*r Florence
Florence, July -5.?A dlstressing
tragedy occurred at the Mutt Muldrow
Mn I, about 7 miles west of thiH city
today, Ju which Misses Rita <and Jes
sie 1 lay newer th, of Sumter, ulsters,
lost their lives and. Miss Kvelyu Ha rues
of this city, cauie near losiug her life
hut was rescued by her cousin Mr. Matt
McCowu.
The Missed Hayiiesworth who wero
lit*!** on a visit to their coualu, Mr. and
^1 rs. L. T. Barnes, 500 West Palmetto
street, together with their cctistu Mr.
Matt MoCown, and Miss Kvelyn Barnes,]
hud g? lie to Mr. Morton Mitldrojv's, an
other cousin, to spend the day. They
went down to the mill pond apd while
there decided to go ii. Bathing in the
old mill race. They had l?een in the
water for an hour or more when they
inadvertently strayed into water over
their depth. Miss Barnes was seen run
ning tt> their rescue and all three of
the girls w6re swept off their feet into
tine swiftly running waters of the mill
race, t - -
Messrs. Matt McCown and Morton
Muldrow were sitting on the hank* op
posite the spot where the girls Were
bathing and across the steam from,
them and as soon as they saw that the'
girls <\vere in trouble ran to their re
lief. Mr. McCowu jumped the bridge
into the water aod- was successful in
saving Miss Barnes, Mr. Morton Mul
drow, having thrqwo lils. ,a fishing
cane which he grabbed^ immediately be
Jujnpe^ into the water again arid swam
toward the other girls who were being
borne "down the stream, but they sank
beneath before he CQUld catch them.
Mr. Mtalrfrovv states that he gave/the
young ladles repeated warnings to
f^tay In <the water -near the bank,

thirteen: The tragedy was a sad one
and all of our |>eople regret the occur

Much Interest in Drawing.
Never before perhaps in tbe history
of the county has so much interest
been taken in any matter than that
manifested In the selective ~tl raft list,
this week. The Chronicle had an
nounced that it wonld give the num
Wrs and names as rapidly as lt^was
'passible. Wo had a representative in
Columbia Ao gather .what information
ns could be gotten and the people took
uk at our word for The Chronicle
office was a busy plafee until tbe paper
went to press. Many people who lived
miles in the country came down Mon
day afternoon jind waited until the
paper went to press to get one of the
extras. Never before has a Camden
paper been Cffered?onthe street for
sale. Numbers of copies were sold
and the Interest was intense. We have
had many complimentary expressions
of our enterprise, all of which we
heartily appreciate.
Nuiribers of extra copies were sent
to Blaney, Bethurie, Kershaw and Cas
satt and were sold readily. The par
ties to whom we mailed them at. Ker
shaw remitted next morning saying:
"We sold the extras out in less than
five minutes and could have sold many
more.'!

SITUATION LOOKS BAI>
Seems I'rattirally Certain America
Will Take KushU'd Place.
tilt lug ton, July 23.?No attempt
Is wade hero to minimize tl)v fcvriouH-:
new* of tlu> situation of the war
theatre* in Europe. The United State*
it in thin**war and will go through
with it; but any lioi>e of a short strug
gle -has gone glimmering with the ap
parent aJuuist <omplete iollaiwe of the
Russian war machine.
The development w?h not unex
4?cted by many -officers. -- When tlie
offensive of July 1, was started by
the Kussluri forces, the most frequent
comment beard here was that it was
probably the dying kick of the old
Russian machine.
For the Unitec^ States, the Russian
collapse npiy have "an imme<liate and
direct bearing. . It will,. if the Ger
man .general staff preases Its advan
tage) and releases additional German
forces to bolster up the western
ifront where American troops are to
>he ,engaged. The German line In. the
wfst has 'not bet?h seriously impaired
at any jtolnt, officers he|*> believe.
They do not claim to know specifical
ly the situation all along the battle
front. I git they aretlhabletose? that
the.yUrltlsh and French have wrested
from the Germans any ney position
"Of such importance that it can be
to luirl the enemy back towa'rd
the Rhine.
It lias been noted, iu fact, tfiat the
one stragetic point gained in recent
fighting was gained l.y the Germans.
Many officers here believe htat when
a small seetorxof the British line in
Belgium was overwhelmed the Ger
mans materially improved the sltua
'Vton on their Weakest front. That
View is based on the opinion that the
only hope of decisive attainments for
the altles in'the west lies In rolling j
up tbe German right flank where It
reaches the* sea in Belgium.
If that could be done, It is argued i
that . tin* TJ-4>oftt bases could be]
stamped out and the only offensive |
instrument of fhe Germans be elimi- J
noted entirely or so seriously im
paired as to make it ineffective. _
The ,hig Question is whether it <^an
be done, The price or a victory of
the nature against the U-boats and
German?^hore- batteries- probably
would fie appalling and there is noth
ing td indicate that the effort is be
ing considered' at present. It cannot
be questioned, .however, that many
army men, both in Gheat Britain and
the United States favor some such
desperate attempt. t
, Reitorts received from France, offi
cial and unofficial, so far as known,
give no cheering picture of what must
"be done. There appears to fbe doubt
that the Allied lines ^an stand any
force that Germany can bring against
it. Bat to (gather the neeessary
strength for a successful offensive
will take time and ample sea trans
portation facilities- if the United States
is to furnish the needed surplus of
men, airplanes , munitions and food.
American transportation problems
both on land and sea are constantly
Increasing in scope. It seems to be
certain that whole railroad systems
will have to set up in France to give
the American line the flow of war ma
terials and men to press home an at
tack. ..i 'JU . iv'-J --
- There is an Old military rule that ft
fortified position cannot l>e taken by
direct attack, out mast be turned or
Isolated entirely. Some observers here
say the allied offensive has consisted
only of direct attacks against a line of
fortfflcatlonM stronger than any fprt
of former days. The maze of trenches,
entanglements, armored strong posts
and fortified villages pxtends mires
hack of the front on noth sides, so that
in effect a fortified belt stretches from
the sfea to the ftwis* aorder that is
perhaps more than 100 miles wide.*
It in the belief of some military men
here that no breach can be made for
many months through the German line
of sufficient width to permit rolling
np the entire German rront.
Admitting all these points, there is
110 sign of discouragement among
American officials.' President Wilson's
declaration that the nation, not mere
ly an army, must be made ready for
war, Is being carried out determinedly
and apparently w&h confidence that
in time men and supplies can be sent
to France insufficient force to rnpke
victory certain.

Austro-IIungarlans.
From the Baltic to the Black sea
only at one point, along the line In

Russians risen to the occasion and
shown some of their ol4 lighting
spirit. Here Ightlng shoulder to
shoulder with their Rumanians allies,
they have attacked and eapturcd sev->

broken the heavily fortified Teuton
line on a wide front,
In Gallcla, the precipitate retreat
of tlie Russians continue almost ev
erywhere from the Carpathian foot
hills to the region around Tarnopol,
the government apparently not yet
having had time to put in force Its
strong repressive measures which M.
