ESTABLISHED APRIL. 1891.
Tursday, June 6,1918.
While full official reports are still |
lacking, it is now believed that South j
Carolina has trebled its quota in the J
Red Cross war fund drive. In fact, j
this State is reported as being one of
five States in the union to accomplish
this. While it is almost too much to:
hope that this is correct, it would ;
certainly prove to be a glorious thing j
if true. South Carolina has always1
led the nation since the days of the
revolutionary war, and she will continue
to be right at the front in all
things that count.
If Germany figured the psychological
effect on America in consequence
of a submarine raid would be to produce
terror, it needs to revise its
figures; for the exact opposite has
been the result. America will probably
not go unreservedly into this fight
until she experiences some of the
horrors of the war. Every casualty
list adds to America's determination
to win this war. And she will win it if
it requires every man in the country
to do it, and the expenditure of every
dollar that the country possesses.
The Herald joins with the war sav
ings committee in the sincere nope
that South Carolina will go across
during the war savings drive
from June 14th to 28th. A
\ few days ago we were mortified
to read that South Carolina
stood at the bottom of the list oi
States in the amount of war stamps
bought up to date. It will be a disgrace
to the State to fall down on this
proposition. It is not South Carolina
style to fail to come up when called
on. And Bamberg's standing among
the counties of the State is not at all
an enviable one. This situation must
be remedied at once. Let everybody
put forth every possible effort to
bring' the State out during the drive.

Saturday have been relatively small
when compared with those of the
previous day.
And according to the accounts of
unofficial observers, wherever they
have been able since the stiffening of
the allied lines to attain new positions
at exhorbitant price in lives has
been exacted from them. So great has
been the casualties suffered that the
Prussian Guard division, "the pride
of the German Crown Prince," is declared
to have been withdrawn from
the battle.
Bitter Fighting.
Particularly hard fighting again
has been in progress between Soissons
and Chateau-Thierry, where the
Germans are endeavoring to push
further forward toward Paris, but
not alone have the French troops almost
everywhere successfully withstood
the onslaught but on several
sectors themselves have taken the
initiative and gained ground. As a
whole the situation along this line
is relatively unchanged.
Admitted By Huns.
The German war office at last has
admitted that the allied line on the
west has been reinforced by fresh
units, but it asserts tllat they have
not been able to hold the positions
to which they were assigned. Nev
ertheless the fact is patent from an
observation of the war maps that almost
everywhere in the region the
German line, for the moment at least,
is being hard held.
From Chateau-Thierry eastward
along the Marne and thence to
Rheims the situation is virtually unchanged
from that of Sunday. The
enemy now holds the southern bank
of th? Marne for a distance of about
fifteen miles, but yet he has made
no serious endeavor to cross the
stream.
The news of what it has cost the
German armies in men killed, wounded
or made prisoners in the present
tattle is reaching Germany through
a no less authoritative source than
the semi-official Nord Deutsche AI1gemeine
Zeitung. This journal prints
a letter from a German colonel at
the front, who urges the people to
bear their losses with patience and
confidence.
Lltile fighting aside from the usual
small affairs between raiding parties
is taking place on the Flanders front,
v The British have carried out successful
raids on several sectors and
taken nearlv 300 prisoners, in the
Italian theatre the operations :nntiiiue
of a minor character.
American aviators are giving good
account of themselves over the battje
line *n France. Since April 14, when
they first took the air offensive operations,
they have shot down at
least thirty-three enemy planes and
themselves only lost seven.
BALANCE OF POWER.
Vital Factor in Big Battle, Says (General
Bridges.
Washington. June 1.?American
troops have become a vital factor in
the great battle in France and may
hold the balance between defeat and
victory. Gen. Bridges, head of a special
British military mission to the
United States, said here tonight in
discussing the renewal of the Geiman
'drive.
The objectives before the Germans,
! the general said, appear to be threej
fold; the capture of Paris, the divisi

Bridges said, the Germans were aid-1

The preponderating number of (li-i
