My dealings with government officials have given me their respect and friendship My principle has always been to ask for South Carolina only what she was entitled to. Having asked for something 1 have always fought until 1 got it — if it were pos sible to get it at all. ‘Tn view of my conviction, that 1 am now better able than ever be fore to serve the nation and my State, if 1 retired because of the statement made in 1914 it would be an act of cowardice, and an injustice to our boys who have offered their lives in defense of their country. ‘T have everything to lose and nothing to gain by offering for re- eloction. 1 would be safely out of the troubled waters of politics in which l have been swimming since 1880, but I "would feel somewhat like a deserter in the face of the enemy. “When I first came to Washing ton, sectionalism was virulent and I was forced to listen to false and insulting accusations against the South and its people. The Demo crats had decided it was wisest to say nothing, i thank God 1 never fol lowed this course, but from the be ginning protested vigorously with my brother Democrats against such craveness. When anyone threw a rock at tbe South, 1 was always ready to throw two back. Indeed, I have been told by competent judges —and 1 believe it to be true—that my speeches in the Senate and my lectures through the North have done more to enlighten the Northern people on the race question than all ofher instrumentalities combined.

General Maurice, the British di rector of military opera*ipns, de clares that .the allied troops in (he west outnumber the German forces in rifles, guns and airplanes, but that the superiority ,1s diminishing as the Germans bring up their Rus sian troops. Already the major preparations for a big offensive by the Germans are ready, and the al lies are on the lookout for the first signs of a big drive. The American troops, it Is an nounced in Washington, now hpld a front extending more than eight mile$, although half of this distance is due to the numerous irregularities of modern trenches. As the crow flies our soldiers now hold four miles of front trenches. The sec tor is known as a divisional sector, which means that at least three American divisions are on hand to give the necessary support to the trench positions.

There is no use in cussing the Rumanians over the sit uation as many are doing, and as many do the Russians- The thing ior us to face is the fact that Ger many’s hands are free in the east, and unless a hostile sentiment is carefully nourished in Russia and Rumania towards the Germans there is the prospect of some kind of al liance- between them in the future. It would fseem that the seizure of the territory by the Germans will prove" irritating enough to keep up an enmity among the Russians and break—mrt into flame at any favorable chance. It is hoped so, although if other wise. the allies and America will be able to defeat Germany in the west, even if the cost is somewhat great er and the war a-little longer. __ The treaties of peace, signed by Russia. and Rumania, do not alter the situation in the East vrery much, except the armies be completely de mobilized. The allies have little to expect from the armies of either country In the future, and plans will be matured without the expectation of any help from them.
