Flames Quickly Destroy Plant of
Both Papers in Spartanburg.
???
Spartanburg, Dec. 7.?With a loss j
estimated at $50,000 to the plant
and $25^000 to the building, the en*
tire plant of the Spartanburg Herald '
(morning paper) and The Journal'
(evening paper), both of which have
been issued from the same building,
were destroyed by fire which began
at 7:15 o'clock tonight in the basement
of the three story building on
Magnolia street. The loss, covered
by insurance to the extent of 65 per j
cent., is complete and it is believed i
that hardly anything can be saved, j
Before the fire was discovered it had j
gained great headway and from the j
first it was evident that the building
was doomed.
The Herald is being issued tomorrow
from the plant of Band & White,
printers. When the fire was first discovered
the basement and ground
floor of the building were completely
filled with smoke. Those on the
J ?Vk#v/l /Mif on/4 I
ground UUUJT iUSUCU uui auu
the alarm was sounded for
those on the second floor to
leave the building, which was
done by all in the reportorial,
telegraph, composing and stereotyping
departments. By the time all j
had escaped the entire building was j
a mass of smoke and flames, several
of the employees managing to leave
the building just in time to escape
being overcome by the dense columns
of smoke which were pouring from
every opening in the building. A i
child, the son of A. F. Perkins, of j
the composing room, asleep in the;
basement, had some difficulty in \
leaving the building. He was, however,
rescued.

KINGS WILL PAY VISITS. L

____ I
New York, Dec. 7.?The United!
States government will have as its
guests in the near future President;
Poincare, of France, King George,
of England, King Albert, of Belgiuca,!
King Victor Emmanuel, of Italy, and
the heads of any other nations Presi- j
dent Wilson may visit during his;
visit to Europe, Stephan E. Luzanne, I
i
editor of the Paris Matin, declared
today just before he sailed for
France. M. Luzanne has been in the j
United States several months on an
official mission.
"It has been a diplomatic custom
from time immemorable," M. Luzanne
said, "that the head of one
government who entertains the head r
of another invariably repays the
visit."
While no official announcement of
plans has been made, M. Luzanne declared
it was certain President Poincare
would come to the United States
..._ il.. .
witmn tne next yv<xrf <10 mo icim ui
office expires in 1920. No official
announcement of plans will be made
he added, until President Wilson has
arrived in France and visited the
capitals of the various nations.
United States statesmen probably
will have to brush up on precedents
and formalities for state occasions,
Mr. Luzanne added, as the United
States never has received the head
of a foreign government with the exception
of King Kalakua of the
Sandwich Islands.

for distinguished service .on the
western front in France. This week j

the morning of September 30. Lieut. |
Todd is commended for intelligence

courage. The young lieutenant is a

he was commissioned, at Fort Oglethorpe
in the first class for officers,
and after being stationed at Camp
Jackson for several months he was
sent over with the 3 71st regiment,
which has given such fine account of
itself.

Greenville, Dec. 7.?As one result
of the sessions of the federal court
which adjourned sine 'die Friday,
about 30 young women, charged
with violations of the act of May 18,
1917, relative to immoral acts in
the vicinity of army camps, are waiting
in the bounty jail to be taken to

PAYS HIGHEST TRIBUTE.
PRAISE FOR OFFICERS AND
SOLDIERS.
Commander in Field Tells Secretary
of War and Country of
Stewardship.
Washington, Dec. 7.?Gen. John
J. Pershing's account of his stewardship
as commander of the American
expeditionary forces was given to
the public today by Secretary Baker.
It is in the form of a preliminary report
to the secretary, covering operations
up to November 20, after the
German collapse. It closes with
these words from the leader of the
great army in France, expressing his
feeling for those who served under
him:
"I pay the supreme tribute to our
officers and soldiers of the line. When
I think of their heroism, their patience
under hardships, their unflinching
spirit of offensive action, I
am filled with emotion which I am
unable to express. Their deeds are
immortal, and they have earned the
eternal gratitude of our country." < :
The report begins with General
Pershing's departure for France to
pave the way for the army that was
to smash German resistance on the
Meuse and give vital aid to the allies
in forcing Germany to its knees 19
months later. Its striking feature
is the section devoted to "combat
operations," where it told 4heJ&tdr>
of fighting by the map' Vho directed
Gen. Pershing ^views the encounters
before M?rch 21 of this year in ^ I
which American troops participated
as a part of their training and dismisses
them briefly. On that date,
however, the great German offensive
was launched and a crucial situation
quickly developed in the allied lines
which called for prompt use of the
four American divisions that were
at that time "equal to any demands
of battle action."
Crisis in Picarfly.
V ' \ T-Zf
The first crisis in the German
drive had been reacnea in ncaray.
"The crisis which this offensive
developed was such," General Per- '
shing says, "that our occupation of
an American sector must be >post- \
poned. On March 28 I placed at the
disposal of Marsnal Foch, who had
been agreed upon as commander in
chief of the allied armies, all of our . /
forces to be used as he might decide.
At bis request <;he First Division was
transferred from the Toul sector to
a position in reserve at Chaumont en
Vexin. As German superiority in
*
numbers required prompt action, an v u
agreement was reached at the Abbeville
conference of the allied pref
. V
miers and commanders and myself
on May 2, by which British shipping
was to transport 10 American divisions
to the British army area, where
they were to be trained and equip-,
ped, and additional British shipping
was to be provided for as many di- *
visions as possible for use elsewhere.
f
"On April 26 the First Division ^
had gone into the line in the Mont- *>. * *
didier salient on the Picardy battle
front. Tactics had been suddenly
revolutionized to those of open warfare,
and our men, confident of the
results of their training, were eager
for the test. On the morning of May
28 this division attacked the commanding
German position in its
front, taking with splendid dash the
town of Cantigny and all other objectives,
which were organized and
held steadfastly against vicious
counterattacks and galling artillery
fire. Although local, this brilliant
action had an electrical effect, as it
demonstrated our fighting qualities )
under extreme battle conditions, and
also that the enemey's troops were
not altogether invincible."
There followed immediately the
German thrust across the Aisne toward
Paris.
I
"The allies," General Pershing
says, "faced a crisis eq.ually as grave
as that of the Picardy offensive in
March. Again every available man
was placed at Marshal Foch's disposal,
and the Third Division, which
hoH iiist mm a from its preliminary
"WV4 ~ _
training in the trenches, was hurried
to the Marne. Its motorized machine
gun battalion preceded the other
units and successfully held the
bridgehead at the Marne, opposite
Chateau-Thierry. The Second Division,
in reserve near Montdidier,
was sent by motor trucks and other
available transport to check the
progress of the enemy toward Paris.
The division attached and retook the
I town and railroad station at Boures(Continued
