The elections are over, and The
Herald is certainly satisfied. Now
the next thing is the fourth liberty
Iban, which opens the last of this
' ' month. Let everybody save up their
money to invest in fourth issue liberty
bonds. The amount of the loan
is to be the biggest yet undertaken
to raise, five billion dollars. Let the
money roll into the treasury in fine
style. The end of the war is in sight
right now; let's keep it in sight.
Money is the greatest factor just now,
since there is such a steady stream of
men flowing into Europe.

There was considerable interest in
Bamberg in the Democratic primary
held in Georgia last week. Thomas
E. "Watson, editor of the late Jeffersonian,
which was disbarred from the
mails because of un-American utterances,
was defeated in the tenth district
for congressman, the incumbent,
Mr. Vinson, winning by a small majority.
* In the race for United States
senator, W. J. Harris was nominated
over all opponents, going in by a literal
landslide. The incumbent, Mr.
Hardwick, had been characterized by
President Wilson as an opponent of
the administration.

The Charleston American, beginning
a column diatribe on its alleged
''patriotism," says: "The Ajnerican
makes no pretence of being in line
with the newspapers of South Carolina.
If the 'American were so in
line, it would be able to give no good
reason for its existence." We cer*
_ tainly trust the American states the
exact truth when it says it is not in
line with the other newspapers in
South Carolina, ahd we think that
the American, for once at least, does
state the truth. For instance, the
other newspapers in the State have
not been disbarred f^om the mails for
pro-Germanism, and none of the editors
of other papers, with the exception
of one?a blind follower of a certain
politician in the State?have
been convicted and sent to the federal
penitentiary for disloyalty or crimes
t against the United'States. No, we
think the State is very fortunate in
not having its newspapers in line
with the Charleston American.
The first great drive by the American
forces in Europe has thrilled the
whole world. That the American
boys can take the initiative and carry
forward an offensive is proven beyond
doubt. It is extremely interesting
to study the map where the
American drive was made. The St.
**Mihiel salient, or wedge, was thrust
into the allied line during the first
weeks of the war, in the fall of 1914.
All efforts to dislodge the Germans
were unavailing, until finally the task
was given up, and there had been no
fighting of moment in that section
for a long period. The United States
forces, with the aid of the French,
launched their attack Thursday, and
# by early Friday the salient, some
forty miles of front, was completely
wiped out. In just twenty-seven
hours after the attack was launched,
the forces, in two sections driving
from both corners of the wedge, met,
thus sealing the neck of the pocket,
and .shortening the front to about
twenty miles. A line of prisoners
three miles in length and four
abreast marched to the rear of the
American lines at one time. The
attack was made so quickly that it
was impossible for the Germans to
wreak their usual destruction, and
the towns, some twenty of them, were
taken practically intact. The French
inhabitants of the pocket had had no
news of the war in four years, so
strict had been the German censorship.
There is now much conjecture as
to the next move in the Lorraine section,
since the St. Mihiel salient has
been obliterated. It will be noted,
upon reference to the map, that the
\
\
1
German border stretches along the
American front at a distance of only
a few miles, almost touching the battle
front in some places. Metz, an
important German city, is only ten
miles distant. Some of the war
critics are inclined to the belief that
the next move will be for the capture
of Metz and the railroad from
.Metz to Saarburg, which is described
as being the most important railroad
center in the German Lorraine. A
few- miles distant from Saarburg is
the city of Strassburg. The line from
Metz to Strassburg is said to be the
most heavily defended territory the
allies are likely to encounter in the
drive for the subjugation of Germany.
That the drive for this line
may come very soon is the opinion
of many of the critics, and there will
be great suspense until the outcome
of this drive, if it is made, is de
cided. Taking this section, the allied
line may cross the Rhine, or may
proceed down the Rhine, the latter
course being most likely, as in this
instance most of the heWy Rhine
defenses could be taken without
crossing the river. The great German
city of Cologne is about midway
from Strassburg to the sea. After
reaching that city, the allied forces
would be within striking distance of
Essen, about twenty miles inland
from the Rhine. Essen is the home
of the big Krupp munition works,
and the taking of this city would certainly
end the war as far as effective
German resistance is concerned.
Essen is just 150 miles from the
present American line in French Lorraine.
Uncle Sam to the Rulers of Germany.
We tried to be neutral.
But you would not have it so.
You ravished your neighbors,
You outraged humanity.
And, failing to dominate us,
You reviled us.
You ordered us from the free seas.
You ambushed us on the highways.
You waylaid us in the night.
You killed our helpless people.
You drowned our women and children.
You destroyed our property.
You violated our rights.
You insulted our sovereignty.
,You dishonored our flag.
You sneered at our protests.
You scorned our good will.
You flouted our friendship.
You mocked us as "money changers."
You derided our courage.
You jeered at our army:
You scoffed at our means of defense.
You defied our defensive power.
You goaded us into war?and NOW,
You shall answer to 23^,000,000 men
Placed at my command by Congress
| To make the world safe for Amerij
cans
And other peace loving people.
Civilization will subdue and disarm
you.
Your vast machinery for tottering humanity,
Through your lust for 'pillage and
conquest,
Shall be disarmed. ?ou shall be
made
S^fe to live among law abiding nations.

CARD OP_THANKS.
I wish to take this method of expressing
sincere thanks for the many
kind and thoughtful acts on the part

OBITUARY.
'Tis hard to realize that sweet little
Frances Utsey is dead! She was
such a vivacious and loving little girl!
Her sweet face and beautiful doll-like
appearance attracted one before hearing
her talk, and then her magnetic
way drew one. She was most precocious
for one of her years, and had
been singing little songs since she
was a year and a half old, and it was
her delight to sing to brighten the
hearts of those about her. Only a
few weeks ago just at twilight her
little voice rang out to some sailor
boys. She sang to them every song
she knew, and she remarked that she
was singing to make them happier.
Her devotion to her mother was beautiful
and her womanly manners were
the source of delight to her fond parents.
She was popular with her
schoolmates, and many of them showed
their love to her in her sickness
-and death. She was so rare and
sweet that God needed her to be with
Him. We can think of her only as
singing praises to the Lamb, and why
should one grieve for her? She is
missed; 0, yes, so much! Her death
has cast a gloom in many homes, but
it is a precious thought to know that
though her life on earth has been
short, she has sown seed that will
bear fruit. She enjoyed life in its
sweetest existence. Her school life
was happy, for her lessons were easy
to her, and she thrilled over play
with other children. Seven short
years on earth, but what a happy
time she spent. To the loving parents,
devoted grandmother and little
sister we can say that it was only
to the glory of God that she was
taken away, and her leaving will only
be a stimulus to draw them nearer
heaven and God.
"One less at home!
The charmed circle broken; a dear
face
Missed day by day from its accustomed
place,
But cleansed and saved and perfected
by grace,
One more in heaven.
"One more in heaven!
