of war still remain in Germany, Russia,

to number approximately 500,000
persons?will be greatly benefited by
the grants which have now been made
by the various governments concern^

tion of the 1,000,000 pounds required
has been made available and the
actual task of fepatriation is being
rapidly carried out by Dr. Fridtjoff
Nansen under the authority of the
league of nations ^nd in cooperation
with the international committee of
the Red Cross and the German and
Soviet authorities.
The following credits have been
received by the league of nations:
Norway, Sweden and Denmark, 35,000
pounds each; Holland, 45,000
pounds with 10,000 pounds additional
promised in case the other nations
fulfill their allotment; Switzerland,
48,000 pounds; Great Britain, 113,000
pounds, with an equal additional
sum promised in case the other nations
meet their allotments. France
has provisionally proimsed 115,000
pounds and Italy 85,000 pounds. The
American Red Cross has alloted $1,000,000,
and the American Y. M. C.
A. has made a large contribution for
the betterment of 'the conditions of
the prisoners, and the provision of
comforts.
Ships Chartered.
The sums actually received will
allow the continuance of the work
until October. If the French aind
Italian contributions are received by
then, the work will go on until all
prisoners are returned to their home.
It should be added that all the expenses
for repatriating German prisoners
are borne by the German government
itself.
To carry out the repatriation, a
fleet of ships has been chartered in
the name of the league of nations,
most of which will travel between
Germany and Russia in the Baltic,
but others will make the long six
weeks trip from Hamburg to Vladivostock.
In order to keep the expenses
at the lowest possible figure,
cargoes have been booked on the
longer voyage ships at the same time
that prisoners are being transported.
It is perhaps interesting that officials
of the league of nations, in
the extremely difficult and complicating
task of returning prisoners of
war to their homes amidst the most
confused political conditions, are directing
a small fleet of steamers, securing
argoes, and overseeing all the
work necessary to carry out this essential
humanitarian work in the
most economical way. The execution
of the great amount of detail work involved
is being carried out by representatives
of the international committee
of the Red Cross and by German
government authorities.
First Ship Sailed in May.
On the Baltic, which is the most
important route, 15 vessels have been
chartered to ply back and forth between
Stettin, Germany, and Navva
and Riga in Esthonia and Bjorke in
Finland. When the first ship sailed
early in May last there were over
200,000 Russians still in Germany
and an equal number of Central European
prisoners still in Russia, Si- '
beria and Turkestan, of whom only
about 25,000 were Germans, while
the rest -were Hungarians, Australians,
Czechs, Rumanians, Poles and
Serbs. Up to the present time about
20,000 prisoners have been repatriated
each way, of a total of 60,000 via
. the Baltic route. The present weekly
rate of repatriation on this route
is 8,000 with the exception of reaching
16,000 to 20,000 shortly.
The second route runs from Hamburg
through the Red Sea to Vladivostock.
By this route between 20,000
and 30,000 Austrians, Hungarians,
Rumanians -and Poles still in
eastern Siberia would be brought
back and roughly the same number of
east Siberian Russians still in Germany,
taken out to their homes. Two
vessels, each capable of taking 1,500
or 2,000 men per trip, have already
been chartered for this work and cargoes
secured despite the difficulty of
finding material for export from Germany
to the Far East.
A third route, it is hoped, may be
opened from southern Russia, where
many prisoners are still detained,
through the Black Sea to Trieste,
whence Russian prisoners still in Germany
might be embarked for south
Russian ports.
Dr. Nansen is convinced that un
FIND BODY IN CANAL.
Young Woman was Despondent Over
Jx>ve Affair, it is Said.
Columbia, Oct. 2b.?The body of
Miss Elizabeth Beamguard, an employe
of the State Hospital for the
Insane, who disappeared from the
institution last Monday, was discovered
in the Columbia canal this mornirig.
as it arose to the surface at the
intake of the hydro-electric power
plant of the Columbia Railway, Gas
and Electric company.
Last Sunday, according to the allegations,
the young man to whom
Miss Beamguard was engaged, called
her on the telephone and informed
her that he did not intend to marry
her and that she would never see
him again. They were to have been
married last Monday. She became
highly hysterical and had to be given
medical treatment at the hospital,
which she left Monday afternoon
about 2 o'clock, after stating that
she felt better.
'Monday, afternoon about 5:30 Dr.
Catherine Monroe, woman physician
at the institution, received the following
telegram purported to have
been signed by Miss Beamguard:
"When you receive this all pain
will be over. It is more than I can
stand. My body will be found in the
river."
The family and the police immediately
were notified and search was
instituted for the yourig woman.
The young man to whom she
engaged was an employe of the State
hospital for the Insane. He is being
hunted by the police.
Miss Beamguard is a native of
.York county, coming to Columbia
some time ago, and accepting the
employment at the hospital. She is
survived by a mother and several sisters
and brothers. The point where
Miss Beamguard is supposed to have
thrown herself in the canal is about
a mile from where her body was discovered
this morning.
FARMER MAKES UNIQUE WILL.
Cotton in Storage Not to be Sold Be,
low One Dollar a Pound. ,
Florence, Oct. 28.?A unique case
of "beating the bears" in the present
cotton situation is reported in
the lower end of Florence county.
W. M. Frierson, of Lynchburg, is
building an individual cotton storage
building under the provisions of
the South Carolina laws. He expects
to put 175 or 200 bales of long staDle
cotton in it' this season. Then
he is going to make'his will pertaining
to this cotton.
Mr. Frierson has a young son,
about six years of age, jiuamed Jack
He is going to will this cotton co
Jack, under the provision that it is
to be sold "when it will bring $1.00
per pound." Should long staple not
bring $1 per pound within the life
of Jack, the cotton is to be handed
down the line?to Jack's son, to
Jack's son's son and so on till there
is a dollar market for long staple.
While waiting for that "dollar
market," Mr. Frierson is going to
occupy himself at memorializing his
friends on the importance of storing
cotton. He is going to have the
word "Jack" painted in big letters
across the front of his warehouse so
that everyone will know or learn of
the circumstances.
(Mr. Frierson is deputed one of the
wealthiest and 'biggest cotton planters
in South Carolina.

Missouri Lady Suffered Until She
Tried Cardoi.?Says "Result
Was Surprising."?Got Along
Fiue. Became Normal
and Healthy.
Springfield Mo.?"My back was so
weak I could hardly stand up, and I
would have bearing-down pains and
was not well at any time," says Mrs.
D. V. Williams, wife of a well-known
farmer on Route 6, fcjiis place. "I
kept getting headaches and haying to
go to bed," continues Mrs. Williams
describing the troubles from which
she obtained relief through the use of
Cardui. "My husband, having heard
of Cardui, proposed getting it for me.
"I saw after taking some Cardui
... that I was improving. The reiult
was surprising. I felt like a different
person.
"Later I suffered from weakness
and weak back, and felt all run-down.
I did not rest well at night, I was so
nervous and cross. My husband said
he would get me some Cardui, which
he did. It strengthened me . . . My
doctor said I got along fine. I was in
good healthy condition. I cannot
6ay too much for it"
Thousands of women have suffered
as Mrs. Williams describes, until they
found relief from the use of Cardui.
Since it has helped so many, yon
should net hesitate to try Cardui if
troubled with woiaanly ailments.
