? ? ?-? ?? WOULD AVOID CONFUSION. Relieves Adjutant General's Office of Classification of Registrants. Columbia, Dec. 13.?Governor Manning has relieved the Adjutant i General's office of the duties appertaining to the classification of registrants under the new draft regulations and has devolved them* upon Capt. Richard E. Carwile, of Columbia, newly appointed manager of the State headquarters, in an order just issued to Gen. W. W. Moore, the A H-mfan* flpnpral. KThis action is taken, says the order of Governor Manning, "in view of the confusion that might arise from a dual jurisdiction in matters dppertaining to the classification of registrants." The mobilization of the men under the first draft has been conducted by Major John D. Frost, assistant Adjutant General, and he has accomplished a great task under pressure, and has received a deal of commendation for the manner in which he transacted on the manner in which the Adjutimes was irksome and arduous. Major Faust made a thorough study of the former regulations compiled ^ by the office of the provost marshal general, and he was better versed in them than any man in South Carolina, say military authorities. Registration of the young men of South Carolina between the ages of twentyone and thirty-one was under the supervision of John Elliott Puckette, executive secretary. Will Report to Carwile. Capt. Carole, who was recently appointed by the President to his new position, will have supervision of the classification of registrants under the f new regulations, and the local boards 'f/^will report to him instead of to the Adjutant General, as they did during ^^the mobilization period. The order of \ the Governor is effective December J 1st, and the order to the Adjutant General instructs him to turn over all J matters that, under the regulations, I come through his office to Capt. Carwile by that date. I Major Frost would not discuss the order from the Governor in the absence of Adjutant General Moore, who is out of the city at this time. In a verbal statement to the newspaper men on the meaning of the order, Executive Secretary Puckette said that the order in no way reflectthought there should be a centant General's office had handled all matters appertaining to the draft in the past; that the Governor's action \ -?-- * ? -1-- ^ Anon An was oasea mereiy uu mc asouwpuvu that there would be a conflict of authority should two sources handle the same matters, and, as Capt. Carwile had been appointed to look after the classification of registrants, he tionthought there should be a cen-' tralization of duties. Mr. Puckette said that the Adjutant General's office was due nothing but praise for l#*the manner in which it handled the | mobilization and transportation of troops to Camp Jackson. i Jerusalem and its Changes. f Jfr-' When they built a 40-mile railroad from Jerusalem to Joppa, and the ? call of the conductor supplanted the T . command of the camel driver, Je-. rusalem took on a modern air which * was the beginning of the end for much of its picturesqueness and peculiar religious significance. it has been the battleground of t Hebrew, Christian and Mohammedan ?of Jew and Greek, of Roman and Turk. * Five times it has been taken or retaken and twice destroyed. For at least a thousand years?with brief intervals?it has been in the hands of the Mohammedans. And now, as Jerusalem has fallen into the hands of the Allies, what is going to happen ? There will probably be a revival of "crusades," but tney wouia ue san* itary crusades. An attempt will be ' made to'secure better drinking water. They will introduce a better form of j? government. Jerusalem will no doubt I- toon become al modern city in every ^ respect. Large numbers of Mohammedans will move out and a considerable * number of Jews will move in?but it probably will be a long time before the Jews could control their ancient capital?New York and the United States have become the "New Jerusalem" to great hosts of forward looking Jews. The influence of Jerusalem in hisItory has been largely sentimental. It is not likely that its capture by the '"i"" will roliovA miirh of this feel ' | Aliico " ^ __ ing, nor will it influence to any un* usual degree the action of the church. Small bodies of religious enthusiasts may start "movements" with Jei rusalem as their "Mecca," but the I great body of the church will be uns affected?not because the church has become indifferent to sentiment and 1 religion, but because these are no longer localized?the church is truly k trying to spread the fine old spirit of A Jerusalem throughout the entire Wk world.?Rev. Chas. Stetzler. i MENINGITIS AT JACKSON. Development of Four Cases at the Camp Reported. Columbia, S. C., Dec. 13.?Development of four more cases of spinal meningitis and the death of another soldier from this disease were reported at Camp Jackson today.
