SUNBOATS AIDING ALLIES' News Received Last Week Concerning the Crusial Battles Going On Between England and Fiance on One Side and Germany on the Other. The great fight going on between the allied armies of England and France on the one side and the hosts of Germany on the other, still went on along the immense battle line extending through Northern France, near to Belgian frontier, and almost reaching the coast. Fierce attacks delivered almost continuously for a week or more by the allies and the Germans resulted in r?n rlefinitc decision in the battle raging in West Flanders and Northern Prussia. The contest in the eastern war arena in East Prussia, Poland , and Galicia, had been equally undecisive. This is clearly evident from reports issued officially at various headquarters, which contented themselves with recounting the fact that violent attacks had been made. The French, claimed the allies had repulsed Getman'offensive movements at various points in the west. ' . According to-the French; communis , cation thev Germans also made attacks against the allies' lines at Nieuport, Dixmude and La Bassee, French RepiM. The German general staff declared fighting continued on the Yser Canal and that the Germans, taking offensive west of Lille repulsed the French at several points. Thest reports .seemed to convert optimistic accounts appearing in $ogli?hJ newspapers from correspondents whoi ilaim they were in West Flanders, sthd who claim the: Germans had been IriVen back. The Gentians, However, were beiieVedf to be fighting linder a great iisadvantage, especially along the Miast, as the British ships assisting he allies' land forces had long range ?uns, capable of seriously menacing German troops and men in the trenches. as wpll as nmmimitirtn + v?iino ind supply convoys. While no official informantion was ivailable as to the ships being used, t was probable that they were the three monitors which were being completed in England when the war broke >ut, and which were bought by the admiralty. Light Draft. These monitors draw less than nine feet of water, and could take up positions not far from shore, from which their six inch guns and 4.7-inch howitzers could throw shells nearly four niles across country, the range being ?iven them by airmen. The vessels assiting the allies have lot been allowed to carry out their iperations in peace, for German submarines have followed them down the ;oast and attacked them while they vere shelling German positions. The ittacks, however, were made futile by the presence of British destroyers. Dne account says the submarines suf?ered losses, but this statement has lot been confirmed. It has been remarked that the submarines and aeroplanes, which in times of peace have proved themselves as dangerous arms of the army j : i i luu imvy service, nave sunerea utile oss and have been doing splendid vork. .' Furious Battles. Land battles were being contested vith a fury and tenacity that would ndicate strategic importance is atached to the positions held by the op)osing armies. When a town is reach- , id street fighting generally develops. )ne side gains an advantage only to ose it when the other side brings up , enforcements. Thus far the allies have held Ypres, vhich is considered an important >oint, as it supports the allied forces thrown out toward Routers, ami seemingly* endangers the rear of the German army advancing toward Dixmudc and the coast. The Germans are striking hard at the allies lino in the vicinity of La Bassee and made counter attaocks against the force which for many days had been endeavoring to relieve Lille. Of the progress of the battle in Galicia the Russian and Austrian reports again were in direct conflict. The Russians said the Austrians have failed to cross the San River and the Russians taking the offensive, while near Przemysl the Russians repulsed numerous bodies of Austrians. The Austrians, on the other hand claimed attacks were progressing and that the Russians had been driven out 01 several places. Servian Successes The Servians again reported successes for their arms over the Austrians in the sphere of operations in the South. Naval activities continued in different parts of the world. In the Baltic it was reported there had been an engagement between torpedo boat destroyers and submarines. No details of this fighting had been received. Italy has decided to remain out of the war, but has notified the Powers she may find it necessary to occupy Avlona, Albania, owing to chaotic conditions prevailing in that country. A revolutionary outbreak in Portugal was promptly suppressed. Belgian refugees are beginning to return from Holland to their own country. Great Britain is adopting stricter measured against German and Austrians in that country. Many of the men will be sent to detention camps. BUNGLING THE SITUATION The following has been printed as an authorized statement of the features of the cotton bond issue and acre age reduction plan in so far as it has been formulated by the joint special committee of the two houses of the legislature. 1. Issue of $25,000,000 5 per cent. V J~ -L.'-L 1- - ,1 i - uviiuc, which can ue calico at any. time by the State. 2. Radical reduction of acreage for tfyps^ whd secure the benefits of a loan or a purchase. . . 3. Retire as nearly as possible by this means onc"third of the crop in county in South Carolina. ,y4.,; This, it is estimated, with the retirement of about 600.000 bales under tffe St. .Louis plan, will take off the rjjjarkeV 1,200,000 bales ef cptton t in South Carolina. 'By what nicety of machinery and rdethod we wonder, will the State decide who in each county shall obtain the benefit of the "one-third" retirement for their cotton at 10 cents, and which of the cotton farmers of each county i^ill have to fall back upon the St- .'Louis plan that provides for the loan of only 0 cents ? Is there not a fatal discrimination right fhere that would in vofcve the State an ^confusion worse confounded.'^ Boos not the schefitoe, stated, hoist itself by its own petard, so to sjtehk ? Will not the most immediate effect of it be to annihilate the St. Louis plan with wfcieh it is coupled, in so far as South Carolina is concerned? Is it not morally certain that one * ? * set ot larmers are not going to dc con tent with hypothecating their cotton for 6 cents while others are enabkt to "hold" their's for 10 cents? Our legislature is injuriously bungling and complicating the distasteful situation. Time is the most important factor in it, r nd every moment the lawmakers squander in impractical experimentation is costly. The farmers they might help by straightforward and prompt action are fast getting beyond help. There is but one thing that can save the situation. Cut out the cotton crop of 1915. Let the legislature do what they can towards this end?do it quickly? and go home.?Columbia Record. The Friend of the Farmer. The plan of the St. Louis banker to assist the cotton farmers of the south is a further indication of the nationwide interest which is being manifested in the problems of the men who follow the plow. The movement is not intended as a plan for purchasing cotton, but is designed rather to make available a fund of $150,000,000 to loan on cotton at not to exceed six cents per pouna for the purpose of making cotton a liquid asset, stailizing its price and bringing about normal conditions again. It has been said that it takes great calamities to develop our friends and the present crisis is proof positive that the farmer has friends in every line of industry who are willing to share his misfortunes and lighten his burdens. Strong men are strong only as they co-operate with other n.en, and the spirit of friendliness on the ppr-t of the business mar towards the fprmer augurs well for the future of the agricultural invests of the nation.
