"Esprit de corps" is a French phrase
used by English writers to denote the
common spirit pervading the members
of a body or association of persons. It
implies sympathy, enthusiasm, devotion
and a jealous regard for the honor of
the body as a whole, according to Web
ster’s International Dictionary. The
lack of it is one of the greatest hin

There la a dearth of Interesting local
and county news this week, and in lieu
thereof The People la publishing for
the benefit of its readers an interesting
and instructive article on the results of
eleven , months fighting in Europe.
From it one can gain a very good idea
of what the various armies have accom
plished in the bloodiest war the world
has ever knewn.
Recent trips through parts of Bam
berg and Edgefield Counties show that
crops in those sectipni are on the whole

According .to unofficial reports the
Turambassador at Rome has asked for
passports.
Galicia still remains the scene of the
most important military operations.
Tee stubborn resistance which for sev-
eral days has been .offered by the
Russian forces southeast of Lenfberg
after their retreat from the Galician
Capital, has been overcome after a
protracted and severe engagement.The
Austrian forces have penetrated the
Russian main positions, according to
Vienna, and thrown the Slavs back.
The invading forces are said to be
retreating along this entire front, and
also to be retiring before the advanc
ing Austra-German troops north of
Zolkiew and Rawa Ruska. Berlin says
the Teutonic forces have crossed the
Dniester north of Halicz and have
driven the Russians some miles into
the hills..
In that section the heights of the
Meuse known as the Calonne trench, a
violent engagement has been in pro
gress. By the use of illuminating liquid
and asphyviating gas, the Germans
reached their former first line, only ac
cording to Paris, to be repulsed with
heavy losses.
The Germsns claim that attempts by
the allies on the heights of the Meuse
to recapture artillery have been re
pulsed, and that a ridge of hills direct
ly south of Les Eparges has fallen into
German hands.
The Italians are developing their
operations along the Isonxo front.

the stillness of the night, the Death
Angel visited the home of Mr. W. H.

jof relatives and friends. The writer
