TWO NEUROKS DROWNED

Went in leaded Wagon and Were
Swept Down Stream.
v
Thr Mon rot* Enquirer carries the
following story;
(leorge Strain, colored, and his son
lost their lives several days ago In
Wild Creek near Tradesville, S. C.
The two men lived alone in Ijuhiir
ter County, S. C., the wife anil mother
having died some time ago. They were
tenant farmers imd decided to move
from Lancaster county to a farm In
Chesterfield county. They loaded their
few household goods on a one-horse
vvagom tied their two cows and two
dogs behind the wagon and .started to
their new home. When they reached
Wild Cat Creek, the swift current of
which they did not know, they drove
in. The cows broktj the slender ropes
with which they were tied and escaped.
Men. mule, dogs .and wagon were swept
down by the ice cold waters of the
stream and the younger man was
drowned. The old man reached the
hank and crawled out on the land,
but was so numbed by the cold that
he died a few feet from the water.
The dogs were drowned, but the mule
escaped and a week after the men
were drowned was found In Mr. George
McManus' pasture with shafts and
front wheels of the -wagon hitched to
it. The mule was nearly dead from
exposure and lack of food. The men
had been dead a week before they were
found and it was mere, chance that
a man out hunting found the body
of the older man and after the l?ody
was found inquiry revealed the facts
abovov. stated. The neighbors of the
two men supposed that they had
reached their new home In safety
and the nwiicr of the farm to whU'h
they won' making their wuy suppos
ed that the weather was too bad for
tlx* ill to move. The oows wont to a
! farm houso and wort' impounded, the
man who iin|>oundod them having no
idea that their owners woro drowned
and indeed 1101 knowing whoso they
wore.

Beyond the cut on to allies' lines in
Franco and Belgium the. military lead
ers, with their armies rowdy, are ex
isting the Germans to launch th^lr
muehtalked-bf offensive, but there
still is no outward Nlftii of its near ai>
proach. Artillery duela and raldtug
^operation*! and intensive aerial actlv
ity continue to feature the righting all
along the front.
Three successful raids against the
Germans have t?een curried out by the
British In Flanders and near l^ens and
Arras in northern France. . In Flan
ders the raid, which waft, curried out
south of the lloutholst wood, resulted
in the British penetrating German po
sitions on a wide front, the infliction of
numerous casualties and the taking of
prisoners.
Sixteen Germun airplanes weiv ac
counted for Sunday In aerial lighting
by British army airmen, and In addi
tion German towns uud military posl
Hons luddud the battle front were
heavily houthed. British naval air
men also paid a visit to the (Jerman
naval and aerial hastis at Zwbrugge,
which were effectively bombed, and
drove down three (Herman machines
that attempted to give battle.
The tense political situation In Great
Britain, arising from tn?? sec r?H\s sur
rounding the recent supreme war
council at Versailles and the retire
ment of General Robertson as chief
of the British imperial staff, has Imsmi
bridged.
Premier Lloyjl - George announced
to the house of commons that It had
beeii decided to set up a central an
thority to co-ordlnatc MVe strategy of
the allies, and that the plan subniit
' levl V>v vh?* A?>^ySt<?>?s >?>* iW
case for tin4 present proposal." was one
of tho ablest documents ever submit
ted to a military conference. The plan
was adopted with minor changes.
The Russian holshcViki government
has capitulated and announced its
readiness, although protestlngly, to
sign a peace compact under the hard
terms imposed by Germany.
Notwithstanding this fact. Teutonic
tropjm are advancing eastward into
Russia over a front of RX) miles, from
Riga in the north to Lutsk, a scant
?>0 miles from the ?us}, Galician bor
der on the south. Apparently thus
far the operation has met with no op
position. The northern roaches of the
l>vina river have been crossed by the
enemy, the important railroad 'town
of Dvinsk, whence roads run north
eastward, to Petrograd and eastward
to Smolensk, has been captured, and
Lutsk, one of the famous fortresses
of the Volhynian triangle and forming
the gateway leading eastward to Kiev,
has been entered without the Russians
attempting to stay the foe.
The ottlelal announcement <>f the
capitulation was signed by Nlkolnni
Lenine and Leon Trotsky on behalf
of the j ?copies' commissaries of Rus
sia. It protests against Germany at
tacking a country which has declared
i lit ?> a r tfi iiri on<{ and which }.??> de
mobilizing its armies on all fronts, but
under the circumstances, it says, the
government regards itself forced form
ally to declare its willingness "to sign
a peace upon the conditions which had
been- dictated by the delegates of the
quadruple alliance at Brest-Lltovsk.''
The only indication that the enemy
will meet with hindrance comes in
an announcement by Ensign Krylen
ko, the Rolsheviki commander-in
chief. In his order he instructs the
Russians . when they encounter Gor
man troops to endeavor to persuade
them to refrain 'front hostilities. "If
the Germans refuse," he adds, "then
you must offer thepu every > possible
resistance." ?
A? yet there is no, indkmikm from
German sources concerning the full
intentions of the invaders, but it has
been assumed that in the north the
capture of the provinces of Livonia
.^Ulonia Is contemplate!, afld in
the south, in little Russia, aid is to
be lent the Ukranians in stemming
the tide of the bolsheviki movement
against them.
Apparently all is still chaos in Rus
Siu, ,-with civil war In progress at
various points and the food situation
daily growing worse. So serious has
become the latter factor that Trotzky
has been appointed food controller
and giveh unlimited powers. Already
he has ordered -the arrest ?>T specu
lators In foodstuffs.

New Field Of Service In
Army Camps Of America
5*. *
At the suggestion of Secretary of
War linker, the American Red Cross
Is about to enter a new field
vf service in the army camps
of the United States, a held i?
which they are already working in
France, the Bureau of ConununlcHtiou
between the men in the hospital and
their families at home. This will ne
cessitate building a Red Cross house
in every army camp in the country
and securing for each house a man
who will keep in personal touch with
every man who is admitted to the camp
hoapital, as well as a sufficient stcuo
graphic, force to handle the letters dic
tated by these men and to keep their
families constantly Informed as to
thslr condition and progress.
Col. William lAwson Peel, General
manager of the Southern division, has
Just received letters from W. R. Cas
tie, Jr., director of the Bureau of Coin
munioHtions, and from Harry B. Wal
lace, assistant director-general of mili
tary relief, explaining Secretary Ba
ker's plan and asking for suggestions
as to 'men in this division who are
qualified for the positions of respon
sibility at the camps. Colonel Peel
announced Thursday at a meeting of
his bureau directors that the Southern
division would co-operate in every way
with the national organization and
that work would be begun at once to
uss.ist ill carrying out Secretary Bak
it's plans.
The directors of the work in the Red
Cross houses will be under the au
thority of the Red Cross Field Oirec
tors In the various enmps. who. in
turn Ht-o ??u44?i" tin* supervision of Z.
Bennett rnelpHk director of military
relief for the Southern division.
Secretary Raker says in his letter:
"Since the American Red (Toss
has already established in France, in
accordance with an army order, a ser
vice -to keep families in America In
personal touch with their boys, ill
or wounded in the field, it is suggest
ed that this service be extended to
the camps in the United States. Ameri
can Red Cross representatives at the
camps, here, as in France, would have
access to daily lists of admissions hnd
evacuations from the hospitals, and,
so far as it is in accord with neces
sary medical rules, would be allowed
to talk with sick men. They would
be expected to keep families constant
ly informed as to the condition and
progress of the men in the hospitals,
to write letters for men unable to
write themselves, and in general to
fulfill that clause of the Red Cross
charter which designated the society
as "a medium of communication be
iween troops in the field and their
families at home."

nearby at what is known as a "blind
angle." The aviator could not see
Castle's luaehlne which was on the
ground ami could not hear it because
of the noise of Ills own engine.
Captain Castle saw the collision
coming and "zoomed up" seventy-live
feet, but went at such an angle that
his engine died, unable to push the
plane farther. So close w^n the es

Castles plane struck the other plane's
tail, smashing it.
Castle's plane turned on its side,
then plunged no>c-downward to earth.
