Unseen Army
Washington, July 14.?An unseen
army of brave meu and women Is en*
gaged in the desperate and danger
ouh business of protecting our country
on tho rtiyslerious battlefields of
espionage and counter-espionage from
which are Issued few news reports.
Its exploits often aro fantastic nnd
start ling and are aa important to vle*
tory as military triumphs, but we
must bo content to know little of
them as long as the war lasts.
Americans generally will approve
heartily of the speed with which the
eight German agents, apprehended after
they had been landed on our coast
from enemy submarines, were brought
to trial before a coin mission of 1'. 8.
Army officers in Washington. If they
had been permitted to make their way
into our country they might have
caused much damage.
A total of more than 1,200 persons
have been convicted by the civil courts
on charges of subversive and disloyal
activities since Pearl Harbor, according
to the Attorney General's office.
Student Help
In an effort to aid In tlie education
of engineering and medical students,
a fund of $5,000,000 will be made
uvailable for student loans by the
government. The armed services are
allowing the continuance of some essential
studies, but the speeded up
education program has in some instances
left boys no time to work and
earn their way.
The loans Irom the fund will be
made dlre-ctly through colleges, universities,
or public or college-connect- ;
ed agencies and will not exceed the
amount of the needed tuition and fees j |
plus $25 r month. Not more than $500 | ]
will go to any one student during any!'
12-month period. '1
Students receiving the loans will ,
make notes payable to the I'nlted
States treasury at an Interest rate
of two and one-half per cent, and
repayments will he made through the
agencies negotiating the loaus. These i
IMC VA
agencies will in turn refund the
|)ou*y to the treasury.
No decision bas been reached yel
ah tu the length of time the noteH
will run. The Indebtedness of a student
will he cancelled If before hp
complete* hi* course lie I* ordered
into military service under the Selective
System or If he suffers tolul
and permanent disability.
German* Te?ted
The battle now raging on tiie Ikm
river probably is the supreme teat
of the German army's ability to push
ahead In Itussia tills summer. The
Germans claimed lust year that they
could annihilate "the Red army, but
tlieir Iwiasts were belittled by the
hard fighting Soviets. Now' the Nazis
don't talk of annihiiation but are striving
desperately to posh ahead against
the stubborn and mugnlAcient Russian
defense.
Extra Sugar
The extra sugar provided to the
rationed American people is accounted
for by the courage of American
seamen who have brought more cargoes
through enemy-Infested seas
than had been counted on. Hut the
office of Trice Administration has
warned that there is no assurance that
the extra ration will be repeated.
With American shipping facing such
perils us enemy submarine activities
and mine-sowing. nobody knows
whether we will bring in sufficient
sugar to maintain the ration levels
in 1943.
Civil Service
The Civil Service Commission is
Inaugurating a change In the handling
of Its hundreds of thousands of
Job applications. Under the old system,
an employee applied for a particular
assignment. Under the new (
method, he will list several alternate
occupations in which he might also1
be useful. He then may be employed
in the place in which he An do
the most good.

month from this date, on August 7,
1942. Carl H. Schlosburg and Kllhu
B. Schlosburg, will make to the Frobate
Court of Kershaw County their'

Telephone Workers
Buying War Bonds

and Telegraph Company have
become one of the first large employee
groups in the nation to attain
the goal of 10 per cent of their
wages for war bonds.
To achieve the record, 99 per cent

savings plan include 1.390 in the
state and 13 at Camden. Announcement
of the goal's attainment was
made today by Thomas Crouch, district
manager of the Telephone company.
The Southern Association of Bell
Telephone employees wholeheartedly
, cooperated in the voluntary campaign,
and its efforts and the encouragement
it gave employee* wan
largely responsible for the quick at
tainment of the goal.
Southern Bell employees have been
buying bonds under the payroll savings
plan since the American Defense
program started, with the volume
increasing with every pay day.
When 10 per cent of income was set
as the minimum goal towards which
civilians should strive, a voluntary
campaign was organized at onCe to
achieve the goal of the company.

Southern Bell, through local officials,
has presented awards of achievement
to all the departments involved.
Speaking of the goal being achieved
here and in the company as a

program and all other war programs
to help America fight to survive and
win this war."
