Army Officers Disposes of Old Story.!
Many Claims Settled.
Paris, Sept. S.?Col. Blanton Win- j
ship, judge advocate general and also j
head of the claims department of the j
American expeditionary forces, final- j
ly disposed of the old story that;
the French people claimed rentals for j
the ground occupied by the trenches '
at the front in his testimony today I
before the committee of the Ameri- j
can congress which is investigating'
war expenditures. He testified that
no such claim had ever been made |
against American expeditionary j
forces and that the only claims of tlr's !
nature were for the use of ground
in train in of area, which was cut j

up and damaged in order to familiarize
the men with conditions at the
front. His department, Colonel Winship
said, has thus far disposed of j
y 40,000 claims which have been settled
on about the same basis as
claims against the French government.
These claims include about
36,000,000 francs iisrentals for property
occupied as hospitals and headquarters
and 50,000,000 francs for j
the billeting of soldiers and animals, j
Damages have also been paid, he i
asserted, in about 150 cases in which
the French people were killed by
American expeditionary forces motor
cars.
Nearly 7,000 cases, Colonel Winship
testified, officers, and men were
"* * * 1 *? ~ r\ f
oongea to snare in me yatajcm
claims for damages for which they
personally had been responsible. Xo
claims were paid in connection with
criminal acts of soldiers except in one
instance in which a man on sentry
duty unjustifiably shot and instantly
killed a Frenchman. Colonel Winship
declared that his department
had settled claims growing out of
more than 15,000 installations of the
American expeditionary forces in
France. Thus far, in less than 1 per
cent, of the cases the claimants refused
the sums offered.
24-HOUR BATH IS FIAIRLY TRIED.
"Uncle*' George Decides it Won't Do
For Elderly Men.
Anderson, Sept. 10. ? "Uncle"
George Jones, colored and eightyfive,
has discovered that swimmin'
holes are made for little boys. He
is now inclined to the belief, moreover,
that a bath of twenty-four
hours duration is too much of a good
thing, no matter how alluring the
placid waters-of Generostee Creek, or
how badly the ablution is needed.
"Uncle" George's name appeared on
the missing list the other day, and
as he was not a truant by repute
there was much concern over his
prolonged absence. The solution of
the mystery is, as has been learned
/ since "Uncle" George's reappearance,
that he yielded to the call of a sort
of reminiscent longing, dormant, perhaps,
since the.days "befo' de tvah," j
and fared merrily creekward to satis- i
fy the yearning. Having draped thej
hare limbs of a neighboring tree with <
his conventional regalia, the dusky I
lad of eighty-five summers, stepped
gingerly downward to inquire.by contact
if the water of the ancient hole
was still fine. It was. And the hole i
was easy to get into. But it was
alarmingly hard to get out of, as j
"Uncle" George became aware i
through periodic efforts during the j
succeeding twenty-four hours. He j
was a nice clean little boy when
searchers found him. Apparently,
the injur*- to his physical well-being,
if any at all, was negligible.
SHOULD GO TO PHI SOX.
York Grand Jury Wants Liquor Law
Violators Punished.
York, Sept. 12.?The regular September
term of the court of general
sessions for York county, which convened
here .Monday morning with
Judge T. S. Sease, of Spartanburg,
presiding, adjourned Wednesday afternoon,
having disposed of all business
ready for transaction.
Due doubtless to the large number
01 maicimenis ior violation ut me
prohibition law presented to the
grand jury at this term, that body
recommended that the penalty for
this offense be made more severe,
suggesting the advisability of requiring
convicted persons to serve their
sentence instead of allowing them the
option of going to the chain gang or
paying a fine. The exact language of
this recommendation follows: "We
beg to recommend to our legislative
delegation the advisability of making
the penalties for the violation of the
prohibition law more severe than
they are now, even to the extent of
depriving convicted offenders of the
privilege of settling on a bas;s of fines
and giving them straight prison or
road sentences instead."

What a Wiilard Service Station Does
CHARGING?Done as it should be done, this often means the
jMl revival of an apparently "dead" battery. Done by an untrained
jl | man, it may have disastrous results on an otherwise healthy batllll
tery.
ij j REPAIRS?Wiilard" skill and Wiilard responsibility assure
m THAT REPAIRS are necessary and that it will pay you better
j! to have them made than to buy a new battery.
I : THAT THE WORK is done by a man trained for that par|
| ticular job, with adequate tools and equipment to do it right in
hi the shortest time.
j|l| RENTAL BATTERIES?If your battery must be removed from
j I your car for repairs or recharging, the Wiilard Service Station
I .carries a stock of rental batteries, among which will be one to fit
llll your car. The convenience of keeping your car in commission far
outweighs the small charge for this service.
