HAVE SUNK 1,600,000 TONS.
German Secretary of Interior TelN j
Keichstag Campaign Big Success. j
Amsterdam. April 29.?In the first
two months of unrestricted submarine
warfare shipping to the amount
of more than 1,600,000 tons was
sunk by the Germans, Dr. Karl Helfferich,
German secretary of the interior,
told the reiehstag main committee
yesterday. Asserting that the
submarine campaign was proving a
great success, he continued:
"The first month's results excelled
the best previous results by 25 per
cent., the second month's by 50 per
cent. Exact figures cannot be given,
but in the first two months the
freight tonnage sunk exceeded 1,600,000,
of which more than 1,000,000
was British. Perception of economic
conditions in England is made
difficult by the fact that the British
government, since the beginning of
unrestricted submarine warfare, nas
decided on far reaching statistical
concealment. England could no
longer afford the publicity of the
earlier period of the war.
"From our figures one may estimate
the totaf tonnage still available
for British trade at 7,000,000 to 10,000,000.
It is clear the British merchant
fleet cannot long bear sinkings
at the present rate. Adequate substitutions
by new construction are
impossible, as the British increase in
ships in 1916 notwithstanding every
effort, was not sufficient even to replace
the.normal diminution of peace
time."
Says Plan Will Fail.
"The British attempts to reemploy
on a great scale neutral tonnage will
fail, as it is in the interest of neu
trals to preserve their fleets for the
time when peace comes again. Supposing
that England was deprived of
about half of neutral ship traffic by
the beginning of the unrestricted
submarine warfare we arrive at the
result that arrivals at and sailings
from English ports as regards tonnage
must have diminished in the
first months of the U-boat war by
one-quarter to one-third. The figures
of the traffic since the beginning
of the U-boat w-ar represent 40 per
cent, less than the average sailings
and arrivals at English ports in
times of peace. This effect is progressively
increasing.
"Lloyd George justly recognized j
that the question of ships will be de- j
cisive for the future of British world
power and the issue of the war.
America's Wooden Fleet.
"The wooden ships which the United
States intends to build to save
Great Britain will, in all probability,
only come into use when they have
nothing more to save. * * * Great
Britain's attempt to alleviate her difficulties
by drastic restrictions in importations
of the less essential commodities
is doomed to failure because
of her total imports in 1916 of 42,000,000
tons, 31,000,000 tons consisted
of foodstuffs, luxuries, wood
and iron and among the rest were
many things indispensable in war
times."
Dr. Helfferich then concluded:
Short But Secure.
"We in Germany have been kept
short, but we stand secure. The war
of starvation is turned against its
originators. The American apostles
of humanity who are trying to drive
our neutral neighbors to war against
us with threats of death will not turn
the scales of fate.
"Realizing her position Great Britain
is seeking a decision on l&nd,
driving hundreds of thousands of her
sons to death and ruin. The belief
that she could comfortably wait until
hunger had conquerer us and until
hunger had conquered us and unter
came to her rescue has disappeared.
If we remain true to ourselves,
keep calm, maintain our
nerve and keep our owin house in
order by maintaining internal unity
we have won the war."
Tins Country's Choice.
Those Americans who calmly consider
the vital issues at stake in the
war and our interest in them, the
disposition of Germany toward this
country as revealed by a number of
significant incidents, and the farreaching
consequences to our country
of a victory for the leagued despots,
cannot but rejoice that the president
decided as he did.
Under his leadership we have embarked
on a war the extent and cost
of which cannot be estimated, but the
necessity of which cannot be denied,
if this nation, together with the rest
of the world, is to be freed from a
danger which would have overhung
us like a black cloud.
By staying out of the war we might
have gained an insecure peace and a
few more billion dollars paid for with
blood, shed in reality for our own
safety, and then perhaps shed in vain.
By going in. we assure the safety
of not only ourselves, but of all other
democracies, and with it a lasting
peace, which can be founded only on
freedom, justice, humanity and international
right. We have chosen the
harder but the better part.? Portland

APPLICATION'S CRGEI).
Governor Makes Timely Suggestions
to Voting; Men of South Carolina.
Columbia, April 29.?The following
address has been issued by Governor
Manning:
To the citizens of South Carolina:
An officers' training camp in connection
with the officers' reserve corps
will be held at Fort Oglethorpe. Ga.,
for the States of North Carolina,
South Carolina and Tennessee. Men
between the ages of twenty years and
nine months and forty-four years are
invited to enter this camp for service
of three months, beginning May
S, and it is necessary that men desiring
to seek commissions set about ap
plying iiuuieuiaici?.
I desire to emphasize the necessity
for quick action in this matter, as
time is short. Those wishing to enter
the camp should communicate
without delay with Capt. J. M. Graham,
Columbia, S. C.; Capt. R. A.
Jones, Clemson college; Lieut. E. B.
Garey, the Citadel; Lieut. G. C.
Bowen, Bailey Military institute.
Greenwood, S. C.
State Should lie First.
South Carolina should be the first
State in any display of patriotism.
Unless men who want to serve their
country as officers at once take steps
to enter this training camp they are
likely to find that they have been
shut out of such training and the
prospect of the commission sought.
The following telegram has been
received from the headquarters of
the Eastern department of the United
States arrnv;
"When commanding officers of
training camp prepare final list of
candidates to be notified .to proceed
to camp he will exclude all candidates
who reside beyond the divisional area
which the camp represents, unless
the total number of reserve officers
and candidates who are residents of
the area is less than 2,500, in which
case he may supply the deficiency by
selecting certified applicants who rej
side elsewhere."
10,000 Officers for 500,000 Troops.
From the men trained about 10,000
will be selected to officer the first
increment of 500,000 troops, which
congress is expected to authorize.
Men trained, but not chosen for this
service will, if found fit, be commissioned
in the officers' reserve corps
for service with later increments of
troops.
The camp will be open to the following
classes: Reserve officers of
the line (infantry, cavalry, field and
coast artillery) and engineers; members
of any reserve officers' training
corps unit over twenty years and nine
months and other cadet students of
the same age; members of the National
Guard when duly authorized;
graduates of military schools between
twenty years and nine months and
forty-four years; and other citizens
between twenty years and nine
months and forty-four years of age,
with or without previous military exI

wise qualified.
These Are Eligible.
Men are eligible provided they are
college graduates or undergraduates, l
or fairly well educated' men, and provided
they have demo 1 ' ated ;n
business, athletic or ot; * *..* rities
! that they possess to an unusuai degree
the ability to handle men. Ail
applicants must be citizens of the
United States, of good moral character
and sound physical condition and
capably of undergoing the severe
physical work of drill and manoeuvers
with full infantry equipment.
Transportation, clothing and food
will be provided; the matter of pay is
now being determined in Washington.
1 ask that the press of South Carolina
give immediate healthful publicity
to the matter of our citizens entering
the training camp at Fort Oglethorpe.
and that it emphasize the
necessity for immediate action on the
part of men who desire to become
officers in this reserve corps.
MR. HOOT WILL GO TO RUSSIA,
( alls on President Wilson to Re
ceive Instructions.
Washington, April 26.?America's
commission to the new democratic
government of Russia will be headed
by Elihu Root, secretary of war under
McKinley, secretary of State under
Roosevelt, and for six years a
senator from New York. Mr. Root
called on President Wilson today to
accept the task and hear the president's
plans for offering unstinted
aid to the provisional authorities at
Petrograd in their task of carrying
on the war with Germany, setting up
a permanent government and rehabitating
their country.
Only acceptances by other men selected
for places on the commission
are awaited before formal announcement
of their names and details of
their mission are made public. The
president is anxious that they leave
for Petrograd as promptly as possible.
HARD STRUGGLE BEFORE KM).
Mont lis of Bitter Fighting Still Ahead
ISefore Victory is Won.
Washington, April 2S.? While definite
ascendancy over the German
war machine has been established by
the allied forces in France, both in
personnel and and equipment, and
eventual victory is in sight, many
months of bitter fighting are still
ahead.
This is the view of military experts
attached to France's war commission
as gathered by officers of the American
general staff during informal
conversations at the war department.
Statements of the Frenchmen fully
confirmed conclusions reached by the
general staff after its long study of
losses in all armies actually engaged
in Europe. The terrible toll in dead,
maimed and prisoners, computed in
figures, including Russia's enormous
losses in caDtured. amounts to 10 per
cent, a month of troops at the front.
Half of these are permanently out of
action, and were it not for the constant
stream of recruits going forward
every day, an army of 1,000,000
men soon would fade away.
Of the wounded or ill sent to the
rear great numbers recuperate and
return to their regiments. With a
medical corps service working at
highest possible efficiency, half of the
entire loss of an army is recovered'
to active duty, but the process takes
more than three months.
This condition is one of the impelling
reasons why the general staff
stood firmly for the selective draft
plan of the administration's army
bill. Under the volunteer plan England's
forces at the front were in
some cases so reduced in strength
that their predicament was serious.
France had no difficulty on that
score. Under her system of universal
militarv services, classes were called
up as they were needed and loss at
the front offset promptly. There was
no indication that the French officers
had any suggestions to make as to
the part of the United States army is
to play in the great war.
The American staff officers are
known to oppose vigorously any suggestion
that a small expeditionary
force be sent to Europe for its moral
effect. They say their immediate
concern is to see that the American
army is placed in such a position that
when the time comes to send men to
the front they will be so strong, so
well trained and equipped, so. adequately
supplied that it will make its
weight felt immediately even in a
field where millions are already contending.
Peruvian Indian Weavers.
The ancient Indians of Peru are
now considered the world's greatest
weavers. This noteworthy revelation
in the history of textile art is
the result of the critical examination
of many rich and beautiful tapestries
and other fabrics executed by the gifted
ancient Indian population of
Peru. Though buried three centuries
or more in the sandy desert after
being made with primitive handloom.
and other weaving implements;
these wonderful fabrics are now
found to be superior to those turned
out by the automatic looms of the
great mills of today.
The primitive Peruvian handloom
[ consisted of two sticks, one at the top
and one at the bottom. In certain
tapestry looms, when it was desirable
to allow the warps little play, they
were fastened directly to the loom
bars. But in most cases the warps
were strung over strings of soft yarn,
and these yarns attached by a second
string to the bars. But how little
the loom influenced the nature of
the fabric produced may be judged
from the fact that many fabrics contain
three distinct classes of decoration.
The change from one type to
the other was apparently under the
easy control of the weavers. In
Egyptian weaving it is very common
to find borders sowed on the garments.
The Peruvians generally
scorned such makeshifts. If a border
to a fabric was desired, it was woven
on in the most careful manner. In
the same piece they changed from
plain warp stripes to double cloth
with a tapestry border, or stripes of
bobbin-weaving with narrow tapestry
border, or embroidered plain cloth
with tapestry edge.?Southern Workman.
