('liicf among the horrors of war are tlijc.~patrUiti.tr irh-Ais that the must rend. Another evidence that real prohi bit ion prevalln in Camden Is the enor mous demand here for lievo. The w men of all?in their own estimation?are those who never go twenty miles away from their home. All wives have the last word in an argument but we know of some who have the tlrst, last and all that go in between. It may be true that ovei-euting kiiis more people than over-work, but if we had any preference In the matter, we'd prefer to die eating. It was-a revelation to us to kmyv that, so many of our young men who have never worked, were supporting dependent relatives. We know-of at least one argument in favor of the various flubs for women. Thev alTord some husbands we know, miieh needed rest. When we look over the li<t and see the name*, of some of those who were not anions the tir-i to I??? diaf!e?i. we ire a little ?orn that it t< <o "se leet ive."

We believe that sometimes women practice too much economy in pre paring meals, and we don't blame any man for raising a kick, but we have yet to tind the man who objects to them "economizing" in their hathin? viiits. * An exchange siys they are going !>? buy a T.iberty Bond when their subscribers pay up. *Ve suggest that they follow our example and cut ofT three hundred dclin<|ucnts.

The new-papers of ruliiiiihla admit that the situation N acute. Not only of II.ch hut traveling mow who make the rounds*of Columbia year In and \oar out are put to it to find lodging. I'he hotels have overflowed and It Is ,ahl that renin have heen doubled.

Columbia many of them* otlieors and their famllieH could Mud rooms for rent at n nominal price in Ibis city... The suggestion has been made that homes in Camden aide to care for ?oiuc of these people notify the secre tary of the Camden Chamber of Com merce and the list will he forward ed to the authorities lu otiarge of Camp Jackson, Whatever Ik done alonK this line should he done at once so that the situation can he relieved. A strong effort will he made through the Camden Chamber of Commerce to have the ma lingers of the three tourist hotels open their winter sea sou here at an earlier date than usual to help care for the Columbia over* How. it is expected that hundreds of families of officers will want to come to Columbia, and Camden offers nearly as close proximity to the camp, us does the capital city. DO IT IN A KINDLY WAY. We sec in> reason why strangers driving through in autos should l>c ?stormed at by olllcers when they vio ltliv truffle regulations. A gentlehian speaking to us a few days ago sug gests that if these people who are not familiar with the traffle ordinances ?were approaches} in a kindly way they would certainly go away with a bet ter impression of Camden, ft is not to be expected that people driving into Camden are perfectly familiar with city ordinances and because they make some slight violation is no rea son they should be approached as tho it were a wanton violation. We mere ly make this as a suggestion to the oolice officers. Some of the pa]hmx are writing in horrified terms of the latest Herman afr nlty in slaying wounded soldiers a'id their nurses hy dropping bombs in the hospitals. Since the sinking of the Lusitanla the civilized world ha* had no cause f"r wonder at any turn Herman savagery might take ? < 'ha riot te < Hiservcr. A Compliment. Tin* Charleston < ierman-Ameriean contained Wednesday a vicious per sonal attack on the editor of The Ai ken Standard which was pretty gen erally read in Aiken because copies of that pervert sheet were thrown about and given away here like handbills advertising any other kiml of ijuaekery. Incidentally. The Aiken Standard came in for it* share of abuse. There is hut one wa\ for ;i man of decency or with the -lightest coiicep lion of what it means to enjoy the privileges ami to share the responsi bilities of American elti/.ensbip in this crisis to regard an attack iuude*upou him by the Charleston Herinan-Arneri can. That is the highest homage the I'baric-ton Herman-American can pos sibly pa.v a man. It ha- unintention ally paid Wood row Wilson this same homage for a lone time. It js a compliment, which we ap preciate. to lie slandered by the Char lesion < Jernian-Amcrican. I hit (iji'jT forbid that the Charleston i iermau-American should ever take it into their hearts to commend us for anything. We should keenly fool the j disgrace of being regarded by the un knowing as measuring up to the de generacy of ideals of that ungodly oiit tit. That, however, is not likely, as The Aiken Standard stands for every thing that tho Charleston Herman American does not. Nevertheless, we can unite under stand how it i< even possible for the Charleston Herman-American to en joy. as it claims, the largest cireula rion in Charleston, if. n< is highly prob able. the dirty sheet is given away and thrust upon people there ns free !v .is jt is in Aiken.?Aiken Standard Wishing Them Hard Luck.

SEPTEMBER PAYMENT For Camden Building & Loan As sociation stock will be due and pay able at Loan & Savings Bank, Sat urday, September 1, 1917. JNO. S. LINDSAY, Secretary I'rogiTKK of 'flie War. Thc-wcnta of the pant wwk Along tii?* Western line have wrought to the llKcouragcmciit of Germany.- if steady and iiiti?*?t*ttiii.i gains by the Allies could work *o HihI etid.

The Germans have suf fered reverses all along the line, They have Immmi steadily beuten hack, and they have Kustaincd unparalleled losses in killed and prisoners. The Italians have made a deterwlned offensive and It might he said that from the posl tIonh they have gained the Important goal of Trieste Is In sight. It doe* not appear that the Austrlans hy any possible resort to strategy ean pre vent the victorious march of the Ital ians on that city. l^chs api>ears to lie certain of complete Investment hy the Canadians and French, and that end hehi/C achieved, changes In Ger maiiy's war policy must follow, It does not matter much what Is taking place on the eastern front. The re treat of the Russians is not regard cd with concern. ?>11 the contrary it is helleved the Allies are satisfied, because of the fact probably that the further the Russians retreat into their vast, territory the further the (Remans will have to pursue, and the further away from their bases the (ierniaus are drawn, the greater they will have to draw on men and munition*. The possible capture of Itlga is minimized by reason of the fact Its fall would in no way imperil Pefrograd, by reason of the fact that the Capital Is ,'tfiO miles distant and Its capture Is se cure against the coming of winter. The Russian (Jovernnient which lias -the support of the 1'nlted States Is rep resented as being willing to abandon l'etrograd to the enemy on the score of at the same time getting rid of the pro-German influences that have been giving so much trouble. It looks like the evil day Germany is fearing has been hastened by the events of recent days. In addition to tiie loss of important ground she has suffered enormously in loss of men. and with (iermany the main tenances of man power is now the chief matter for concern. There are indications, also, that the German peo ple are becoming heart sick. They are possibly catching the infection of dis content from Austria, where every ef fort sTrf the leaders is exerted in a vain attempt to conceal real conditions. Austria is outspoken In her demand for peace before the beginning of win ter. Her people are strongly opposed to going further with the war. and the successes of the Italians are doing nothing to the lessening of that oppo sition. Austria is even said to be willing to buy her way out of the war by territorial sacrifices on the Italian front should such a thing be possible, .-iinl her people are about ready to accept peace on any terms. It is evi dent that (Iermany will shortly have the Austrian situation on her hands in addition to her rapid accumulation of troubles in other <piarfers. On the whole, filings arc looking pretty blue f??r Gcrmanv. Charlotte observer. Someone has wisely said that worry i- ;i greater evil than whiskey.
