WHAT WE ARE FIGHTING FOR. ;
(
If there are any in whose minds it
is not entirely clear as to what Ameri- ]
ca is in this war to achieve, we com- ]
mend the four cardinal principles ,
laid down by President Wilson in ?
his fourth of July speech. Without j
a doubt the president gave tne greatest
deliverance on that occasion that
has ever been made. These things,
says the president, cannot be achieved
by debating and seeking to reconcile
and accommodate what statesmen
may wish. Read what the president
says:
1. The destruction of every arbitrary
power anywhere that can separately,
secretly and of its single
choice disturb the peace of the world;
or, if it can not be presently destroyed,
at least its reduction to virtual
impotence.
2. The settlement of every question,
whether of territory, of sovereignty,
of economic arrangement, or
of political relationship, upon the
basis of the free acceptance of that
settlement by the people immediately
concerned, and not upon the basis
of the material interest or advantage
of any other nation or people
which may desire a different settlement
for the sake of its own exterior
influence of mastery.
3. The consent of all nations to
be governed in their conduct towards
each other by the same principles of c
honor and of respect for the common "
low nf Mviiized societv that govern c
states in their relations with one another;,.
to the end that all promises
and covenants may be sacredly obi
served, no private plots or conspira;
cies hatched, no selfish injuries
wrought with impunity, and mutual
trust established upon a handsome
foundation of a mutual respect for
right.
I 4. The establishment of an organization
of people which shall
make it certain that the combined
power of free nations will check
every invasion of right and serve to
make peace and justice the more secure
by affording a definite tribunal
of opinion to which all must submit
and by which every international readjustment
that con not be amicably
agreed upon by the people directly
concerned shall be sanctioned.
Bamberg county enjoyed the di%
tinction two years ago of giving the
largest majority against the former
governor of any county in the State.
The majority will be considerably
larger this year.
m i? m 1
y The Bleaseite line-up is as follows:
U. S. senator, C. L. Blease; unexpir;y
ed term, Thos. H. Peeples; governor,
John G. Richards; lieutenant governor,
George W. Wightman; attorney
general, Claude N. Sapp; railroad
commissioner, A. A. Richardson. Be
certain that none of these names remain
unscratched when you vote.
The opponents of Congressman ;
Lever have put their personal ambi- <3
tions above their patriotism. The c
president asked Mr. Lever to <*uit the 8
senatorial race and stand for reelec- ?
t'ion to the house. This is no time c
for the gratification of personal am- 1
bitions. The patriotic thing would *
have been for all candidates to im- 1
mediately have withdrawn in Mr. f
Lever's favor. It was Mr. Wilson's i
desire.. t
The former governor of South
Carolina is on the run. He could not
stand the gaff when Dial, Pollock and
Benet got behind him at Florence.
When he was accused of disloyalty
by Dial "from the crown of his head
to the sole of his feet," the former
governor could not stand it, and he
announced that he would not speak;
theeupon, he peremptorily left the
meeting. This is not a healthy campaign
for the pro-Germans, the slackers
and the disloyal. Especially since
Pollock came in. Everybody can, of
course, put their own construction
upon, it when a dog tucks his tail
and runs.
Attorney General Peeples, candidate
for the unexpired senatorial
term,' vociferates his patriotism and
Americanism in a card printed in
the daily newspapers Monday. The
fact remains, however, that he is the
accepted candidate of the Bleaseite
faction, according to the Charleston 1
American, that prince of Bleaseite 1
newspapers. The same paper also 1
quotes the former governor of South 1
Carolina as coming out squarely for t
Mr. Peeples. If Mr. Peeples has ever i
repudiated any of the sayings ef the s
former governor last summer, we t
have never heard of it. It will be t
borne in mind that the former gov- i
ernor is the recognized leader of the 1
so-called "reform" faction. Until t
Mr. Peeples repudiates in no uncer- s
tain manner the anti-war and antiadministration
utterances of the lead- f
er of the faction which claims him as f
its candidate, his protestations of his
Americanism and patriotism cannot s
be accepted by true friends of the (
administration. c

rHRILLING DESCRIPTION BY
LIEUTENANT TYLER.
llthough Badly Wounded He Manages
to Save Himself From the
Huns.?Interesting Letter.
The following interesting letter
was written from France by Lieut,
herald Tyler, of Aiken, to his mother:
- - - ? A .. .
American Ked cross Hospital,
Paris, June 3rd, 1918.?Dear Mama: i
Have been wanting to write for several
days but have been changed
about a great deal and had fever1
part of the time. I'm getting along j
Srst rate now. Was wounded six
days ago by rifle bullet which j
passed through my right thigh. Have
been in five different hospitals, as we
have to go through a certain chain of i
:hem on our way to the rear. Am in
Paris now but only stay here a day
jr two longer. Then they will send
aie to a base hospital somewhere,
rhis one is a splendid place, very
arge and more like a palace than a
lospital. American nurses and doc;ors.
Many of my friends are right
lere with me all wounded the same
lay that I was. My fever has about
eft me and the surgeon tells Ine that
t will not be long before I will go
jack to my company. Am sorry I
annot tell all the circumstances that
ed to my getting hit with a bullet
jut censorship rules forbid. The
ast two weeks have meant much to
TXTa V? O A O +in the
II v IC51U1CUI, HU liau a tv/ui 1U vuy
Tenches in a very active sector,
vhere the German lines made a
salient and dipped into our lines. Of
;ourse our lines dipped back and we
nade an ugly salient. Right in the
mint of the salient was a ruined
own, held by the Germans. We were
n this sector about a week when it
vas decided to let our regiment atack
and we made all our preparaions
accordingly. Well, it happened
hat just twenty-four hours before
>ur regiment was to go over thetop,
Tritz decided to pull a raid on the
rerv sp?t. Lieutenant Daniels and
nyself were walking along (he is
mother officer from my company,
ve call him cracker because he is
rom Georgia,) while we were walkng
along a communication trench a
;hell exploded o,uite near, then an>ther
and another. Then they began
litting everywhere. No such thing
is a dugout in the sector, so we lay
ike lizzards in the bottom of the
xenches. The awful explosions
rould come, the ground woulg rock,
hen dirt would fall in on us. Things
vere getting embarrassing. I looked
it Daniels and said, "This is no place
or us." So we got up and dashed
iround to the next fire bay and hit
he bottom of the trenches. Hardly
lad we done so when a 105 hit the
dace we had just left and blew it off I
he map. Shells were falling thick
ind fast, the ground parting all
iround. Our faces were blackened
vith smoke and we weije getting
iuite enough of the strafing. Our
communicating trench led on for
ibout 150 yards to a front line
>o we decided to break for that
company. This minute I do not
Lnow how on earth we ever got there
ailing down over picks and shovels,
cnocking off corners of traverses and
ir.ebags, part of the time I was turnng
over and over. When we reached
he front line we found that things
vere in much the same shape. Two
>rivates attached themselves to us
tnd we huddled ourselves up in the
>ottom of the trench. Finally a mescage
came down that Germans were
soming across just to our left. We
could tell that the barrage was liftng
a little but here a steady hail
>f machine gun bullets which combed
>ur parapet. So we laid out a good
iupply of hand grenades in a handy
)lace, got rifles and bayonets and
limply waited for Fritz to come over.
! was trusting great to my Colts
automatic. Meantime this was just
vhat some other Americans 200
'ards to our left were doing and
vhen 50 of the Huns came across
hey just knocked the little part for
i fare-you-well. The Boche didn't
some over where we were; where
le'd come over to the most of his
lumber were killed; two were capered
but they captured some of the
\mAHnans. When everything was
luiet we disentangled ourselves
!rom the bottom of the trench. I
ooked at Daniels and he gave me his
land without saying a word. We
looked around and tfound in .l^ess
han 200 feet of us several dead men
ind one almost dead. When one
;ide or the other wants prisoners
hey put on a raid. Fritz evidently
vanted one of us but failed in the
ittefipt. In the official communique
lere is the account given of such
hings as this: "The enemy was unsuccessful
in a raid he attempted
[ear ? this a. m." That night Daniels
ainted and was sent to the hospital
or shell shock.
The next morning was to be our
show. We were to go over the top at
>.45. Our troops came in quietly
luring the night and we guided them
I
to their places. Everything was
quiet for two hours before our going
over. Our men were resting, calmly
awaiting the hour. My platoon was
to go over with the first wave who
had about 700 yards to go. Then the
French artillery, our artillery and
all the heavies opened up in concerted
action to blow C? (the town we
were to take) off the map. One could
see half a building rise a hundred
feet in the air, then spread out in all
directions. We were to follow our
own barrage. A hail of our own
shells would be bursting about 50
yards in front of us, moving forward
all the time. We were to follow this
until we reached our objective 700
yards away, then dig in. When 6.45
came the ? Infantry as one man got
up and climbed into No-Man's land
and started for the Germans. Tn*,
French tanks were right along with
us, but were not needed very much
as the German machine gunners
either ran or threw up their hands.
Just before we reached their front
[ lines they swarmed out and soon began
trying to put as much distance
between themselves and us as possible.
Run! They simply faded
away. Our rifles got many of them.
Most of the Boches however came
out of their trenches running toward
us waving hands frantically over
their heads, and yelling "Kamerad."
These were taken prisoners. Finally
we reached the place where it had
been agreed we would stop, well beyond
the town. Everybody was digging
in just as fast as possible before
Fritz organized himself and opened
up with machine guns and artillery.
I was distributing my men out and
getting them on a line so we could
dig a more effective trench by connecting
up shell holes, when somebody
said my platoon was too far
from the one on my left. I went over
to tell the lieutenant on my left that
he would have to move his platoon to
the right flank a little more. By this
time machine gun bullets were filling
the air, and snipers were active. The
Boches had found where we stopped.
When I went over to see the lieutenant
something hit me in the right
thigh and knocked me down. It was
the sniper's bullet. I crawled to the
hole a couple of men were digging
and not a moment too soon for the
Huns played a machine- gun right
over the top of it pearly all day. The
lieutenant of this platoon was wounded
also, and several other men around
us. So I spent the day in that hole.
For about ten hours ! stayed there
not daring to stick my h^.d up, because
machine., gunners and snipers
were active. After several hours a
corporal (who had been sniped also)
concluded to crawl back to get some
kind of first aid. He had hardly
gone ten feet when I heard something
crash and a bullet hit a clod of dirt
in front of my head. The way I got
back into that hole would startle you.
The corporal was not so lucky as he
was shot a second time just as he was
crawling into the hole. Then in the
afternoon they began shelling us. For
two hours I stood just the same
thing that I, had stood the day before.
This means a counter-attack. He *
shells the trenches until he thinks
he's killed everybody in them, then
he comes over. The way he shelled
us for two hours was a fright. I lay
in the bottom of the trench and wished
for a chance to fight him on an
even basis, knowing that I was as
helpless as a drowning rat in a dage.
I absolutely gave myself up as lost
and could see no earthly chance of
getting out alive.
No place to go but through death
over land to a communication trench
to the rear which started about three
hundred yards away. I would have
given twenty years of my life to be
in that trench which was 300 yards
away, because there was a chance.
I had been wounded for many hours,
my wound needed dressing badly and
I was weak from loss of blood and
lack of water. I ventured to peep
over in the direction of the communication
trench, between it and myself
several shells were at that instant
exploding and the machine gun
bullets were flicking up the dust
everywhere. I concluded I'd be a fool
to try it but I got right up and beat it
through that hell, for the communication
trench. I shall never know
how I made it but I remember running
from one shell hole to another
as best I could with my lame leg,
hearing shell fragments, shrapnel
and bullets whiz about my ears. I
saw those vile pieces of steel knock
the dust up from my very feet. I
passed horribly mangled Germans
and Americans, some not altogether
dead. I looked at the communication
trench and said to myself, "All
hell can't keep me from making it!"
After a little while I fell into it, then
nearly fainted from exhaustion. I
was three-fourths back to the aid
etoflrm cn T tnnlr mv tiiriP flhnut ppt
ting there. They were shelling
everywhere all the way back, but a
trench is safer than the open except
for a direct hit. I finally reached
the aid station and since then have
let other people worry over me. When
they gave me a bath and put me be(Continued

Hindenburg's Responsibility for Deportations.

The responsibility for this atroci- i
ous program rests upon the military!
rulers of Germany, who had labored
so zealously to infect the army and;
the people with the principles of |
.. .11.1 T J. .Via.
i uiiiiessness. it is sign mean t LJiat ;
the decree of October 3, 1916, fol-;
lowed hard upon the elevation of
Hindenburg to the supreme com-'
maud with Ludendorf as his chief
of staff. In his long report of Janu-|
arv 16, 1917, Minister Whilock says:
Report of Minister Whitlock (Continued.)
"Then, in August, von Hindenburg
was appointed to the supreme command.
He is said to have criticized
von Hissing's policy as too mild;
there was a quarrel; von Bissing
went to Berlin to protest, threatened
to resign, but did not. He returned,
and a German official here said that
Belgium would now be subjected to
a more terrible regime?would learn
what war was. The prophecy has
been vindicated. Recently I was told
that the drastic measures are really
of Lundendorf's inspiration; I do
not know. Many German officers say
so."
If von Bissing opposed the policy
of deportation when his own judgment
was overruled, he consented
to become the "devil's advocate" and
defended the system in public. Especially
instructive is the following
conversation reported by Mr. P. C.
Walcott:
Von Hissing's Conversation With Mr.
Walcott.
"I went to Belgium to investigate
conditions and whije there I had opportunity
* * * to talk one day with
Governor General von Bissing, who
died three or four weeks ago, a man
72 or 73 years old, a man steeped in
the 'system,' born and bred to the
hardening of.the heart which that
philosophy develops. There ought
to be some new word coined for the
process that a man's heart undergoes
when it becomes steeped in that
system.
"I said to him, 'Governor, what
are you going to do if England and J
France stop giving these people]
money to purchase food?'
"He said, 'We have got that allj
worked out and have had it worked j
out for weeks, because we nave ex-!
pected this system to break down at I
any time.'
"He went on to say, 'Starvation |
will grip these people in 30 to 60 j
days. Starvation is a compelling!
force, and we would use that force j
to compel the Belgian workingmen, |
many of them very skilled, to go into i
Germany to replace the Germans. so|
that they could go to the front and
fight against the English and the
French.'
"As fast as our railway transportation
could carry them, we would
transport thousands of others that
would be fit for agricultural work,
across Europe down int# southeastern
Europe, into Mesopotamia, where we
have huge, splendid irrigation works.
All that land needs is water and it
will blossom like the rose.'
" 'The weak remaining, the old
and the young, we would concentrate
opposite the firing line, and put firing
squads back of them, and force
them through that line, so that the
English and French could take care
of their own people.'
"It was a perfectly simple, direct,
frank reasoning. It meant that the
German Government would use any
force in the destruction of any people
not its own to further its ownj

A brief general view of the character
of the deportations can perhaps i
be gained be9t from the report of
Minister Whitlock.
Report of Minister Whitlock, (Con.)

"The deportations began in October
in the Etape, at Ghent, and at
Bruges, as my brief telegrams indi-l

mines and steel works about Char->
