('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

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?

officers of the fifteen Ulttldred who
arrived In Columbia tlil? week have

I'he hotels have overflowed and It Is

being the nearest town of any nl*e

their famllieH could Mud rooms for

The suggestion has been made that
homes in Camden aide to care for
?oiuc of these people notify the secre

ed to the authorities lu otiarge of Camp
Jackson, Whatever Ik done alonK this

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

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 ?

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

A correspondent in The Charlotte

America be sent to Hell Hole Swamp
in South Carolina and get the -nfTra

thus gained. 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
