CARPATHIAN MOUNTAIN!
SCENE OF STRUGGLE
Will l\lo Doubt Have its Effect
on the Future of the War
SEVERE CANONADING ON
Great Britain New Faces Uw
- r
rising- of Natives in African
Province.
For the fourth time since the Continental
war began the Carpathian
Mountains, between Dokla and Wyszkow
passes, is the scene of a pitched
battle.
The previous clashes were between
Russians and Austro-Hungarians, but
now the Austrians and Hungarians
have the assistance of the German armies
.and are taking a vigorous offensive.
Despite this, Russian reports
assert that the preliminary fighting
has turned to the advantage of Russia
and that prisoners and guns have been
captured.
Simultaneously the Austro-German
are concentrating armies between Bukowina
and Transylvania to prevent a
Russian attempt to outflank them, and
on the Roumanian and Servian frontiers
to check any effort of the armies
of those countries to take a hand
in the fighting on the result of which
Austria stakes much. ,
Turks Defeated.
The Russians are pushing their offensive
in East Prussia, while the Ger
mans continue tneir attack in Central
Poland. Those operations, however
are secondary to the battle in the Car
pathians, the outcome of which is like
ly to have a marked effect on future
operations of the war. ,
The Russians again have defeated
the Turks in the Sari Kamysh region,
where they crossed a mountain during
a snow storm and, after heavy fighting,
captured the commanding general
and his staff of the 30th Turkish division
and a large quantity of war ma
terial. To add to the Turkish difficulties,
the Russian Black Sea fleet has
t>ombarded the Turkish barracks at
Trebizoned and Rizah, besides sinking
several Turkish vessels used as transports.
Except in the neighborhood of La
Basse and in the Argonne, where the
Germans have resumed their attack
artillery has been the only arm engaged
on the western front. The Germans
again claim to have captured
some trenches near La Bassee, while
the French say that the British have
reoccupicd all the ground they temporarily
had lost. At that place the official
eyewitness, in a description of
the battle of January 25, says that, af
ter a desperate hand-to-hand fighting
the Germans were driven out and suffered
severe losses.
Hope to Break Through.
Notwithstanding this, it is evident
chat the Germans still are bent on
breaking the lines that guard the
French coast ports, as dispatches coming
by way of Holland say they are
gathering another French army for
attack on the Yser line.
In addition to the preparations they
are carrying out in many parts of the
African continent, the British face a
rising of the natives of Nyasaland,
where three settlers have been killed.
The situation is now well in hand, according
to official information.
The appearance of the German submarine
raider U-21 in the Irish Sea,
where she sank three small steamers,
has caused a flutter in shipping circles
All the faster steamers, however, have
been able to elude her, and, as it is be
lieved she has returned to her base,
I
traffic between Ireland and England
has been resumed.
Prohibition Bill Passed.
By a vote of 99 to IT the house of
representatives Thursday passed t<
third reading the Boyd-Warren bill
authorizing a state-wide referendum |
next September on the question of
state-wide prohibition, rejecting by
overwhelming majorities all proposed
amendments an retailing the original
bill unchanged. Supporters of this
measure expressed their belief that
the bill would by a majority as big be
passed throdgh: the third reading. Debate
on the bill extended through the
_ /
entire legislative day .
Representative McMahan of Richland
made a futile effort to amend the
bill to authorize the submitting of this
question to the electors at the general
election of 191G, in stead of the
special general election that the bill
provides for calling next fall. Representative
H. H. Harris of Greenville,
was unsuccessful n his attempt to
have coffee and coca-cola included
with intoxicants prohibited by the
measure.
An effort to provide for exception
from the provisions of the bill those
counties which have dispensaries and
which by a majority vote elect to retain
them was defeated by a vol
of 27 to 92.

\Yrapped in Towels of Pullman Car
Company in Columbia.
An awful story of some woman's
shame comes from Columbia as follows
the lirst of this week:
That the towels in which the body
was wrapped bore the ownership
mark of the Pullman company was
the only discovery yesterday by the
coroner and other persons who are
trying to find out how the body of a
female infant came to be beside the
Southern railway tracks on the outskirts
of the city, a few yards from
the banks of the Congaree river Satur
day night.
Trains Nos. 32 and 132 of the
Southern railway had just passed the
place coming into Columbia, from
Jacksonville and Augusta, respective
ly. The hallmark of the Pullman
company on the towels leads the authorities
to believe that the body was
thrown from a Pullman car of one
of the trains. The Pullman car on
the train from Augusta is put on the
Jacksonville-New York train here.
The coroner has made an effort to
get in touch with the Pullman car
conductor and porters of train No.
32, but had not reached them last
night as they go through to Washington.
They will pass through Columbia
again within the next day or two,
and the coroner will see them at that
time. The conductor of train No. 132
could shed no light on the case.
Coroner Scott had a clew Saturday
night but investigation yesterdav
showed it to be unfounded.
The baby was very young, possibly
only a few hours old, and may have
never lived at all, although it was
fairly well developed. One theory adV?\r

child was born on the train. The body
was removed to the undertaking establishment
and when the coroner has
investigated the case further, an inquest
may be hald. ft is likely that
this will not be until after all the Pull
man car employes on these two trains
that night have been seen. The coroner
is investigating the case from
several angles.
TOOK SHIP INTO ~
MINED HARBOR
Captain of E! Monte Tells How
He Entered Port of Bremen
FIRST SHIP SINCE WAR
Germans Were Amazed When
They Saw the American
Vessel.
Captain Edward T. Pinchin who piloted
the cotton laden steamer El
Monte through mine strewn waters
into Bremen on New Year's day,
brought his ship back to New York.
Although Captain Pinchin's feat was
regarded with amazement at Bremen
he was arrested before his ship could
dicharge its cargo. Then he was taken
before a German Admiral who
cross-examined him and released him.
Because of the double distinction of
guiding his ship through the mined
field and of bringing the American
flag into Bremen harbor for the first
time in 44 years aboard a merchant
vessel, Captain Pinchin was wildcly
entertained, he said, during his stay.
He said he had steered the vessel
through a prohibited channel into
Bremen harbor during a fog. Because
of the fog he eluded the cordon
of German warships stationed at the
entrance. The first the German naval
authorities knew cf his intentions was
when the fog lifted and they saw the
El Monte lying at anchor.
El Monte sailed from New York I)e
comber 11, stopping here on her way
to Bremen from Galveston. She arrived
at Dover on Christmas and had
to wait until the next day because
of the holiday to obtain permission
from the British admirably to continue
her trip to Bremen. Captain Pinch
in said after he left Dover he was
held up by patrol boats at Deal till a
party of junior officers who boarded
her were satisfied as to her cargo
and destination.
After El Monte had discharged her
cargo at Bremen her crew of American
sailors were given shore leave.
They were welcomed by citizens with
a great demonstration, said Captain
ML IUVII1II*
El Monto brought back a cargo of
salt.
Thaw to Hospital.
A motion to have Harry K. Thaw
sent to Bellevuc hospital so it might
be determined there whether he were
sane, was made by Thaw's attorney's

court in New York on a charge of
conspiring with others in effecting his

ACT EL?EO COTTON
SAYS A, F. LEVER
Talks Interestingly of Increase
.of Value in Farmers' Hancfs.
MILLIONS FOR THE SOUTH
He Stated to Congressmen
That Felt Pardonable Pride
in His C tton Futures Act.
Washington, Jan. 31. ?Special:?
Last spring Congress passed an Act
for regulating the cotton exchanges
of the country. The agriculture appro
priation bill, which passed the House
last week, carried an appropriation for
the enforcement of this Act. When
this item in the bill was reached Congressman
Lever by way of explanation
of the operation of the Act, made
some pertinent comments on the cot?
1. . ? - * ? * - '
iuii iiuwKfiuig suuauon. congressman
Lever's remarks were to the effect
that the operation of the Cotton Futures
Act had resulted in increased
valuation of the spot cotton in the
hands of the farmer. Mr. Lever spoke
in part as follows:
"It will be remembered that in my
report accompanying the cotton futures
hill, which later became a law,
I predicted that as a result of this
legislation the value of the New York
contract would be enhanced from $1
to $2 per bale, and that this enhancement
of the value of the quotation
basis, reflecting itself in the spot markets
of the South, would mean from
$15,000,000 to $35,000,000 each year
additional to the cotton producers.
"Immediately succeeding the beginning
of the war in Europe the exchanges
closed, and remained closed i
until November 16th. On that day
i l 1 T?U~ IT1. . 4 1
titcy i rvpt'iit'u. Lilt; vjui tun a" uiuiub
Act does not become effective in whole
until the 18th of February of this year
but in anticipation of its becoming operative
the exchanges since their opening
have been dealing in two kinds
of contracts, namely, the old contract
under which they operated, and the
new contract, drawn to conform substantially
with the provisions of the
contracts provided for in the Cotton
Futures Act. I feel a pardonable
pride in finding that my prophecy as
to the effect of this Act in enhancing
the value of cotton in the hands of
the farmer is borne out by the difference
in the value of the two contracts
showing a much higher value for the t
new contract over the old, as will bo
seen by the following comparison
furnished me by the department of ag
riculturc."
Then follow a ~*me of figures showing
a comparison referred to by Congressman
Lever. He read statements
from cotton merchants and manufacturers
which sustained the position
that he took in pressing the bill to pas
sage in the House, namely, that the
exchanges would reflect more accurately
under the provisions of the bill
the real commercial value of cotton,.
added:
"It is very gratifying to me because
I have spent ten years in the study of
this problem, to feel that this Act is
working in the interest of the cotton
producer and is art this moment adding
from $25,000,000 to $35,000,000
to the value of his crop for this year."

Act Repealing Acreage Roduct
I. ion Passed at Special Session
NO ENFORCEMENT MEANS
Governor Says it Would Have
Worked Hardships, and Says
Reduction Will Naturally
Follow Anyway.
The General Assembly has repealec
the act which was passed at the spe
cial session last year limiting' the
number of acres of cotton to be plant
ed by the farmers. In relation to ai
interview with Governor Manning
last Saturday in regard to this repealing
act, the State says:
Gov. Manning will approve the bill
which has passed both l ouses of the
general assembly, repealing' the cotton
acreage reduction act passed at
the extraordinary session which bceran
Octohni* C Tit*-.
0 ? Vf, * 1 V\?VIV viv/ll tlV V.
prohibits under penalty the planting
in cotton by any farmer of more than
one-third of his area under cultivation
to all crops.
Gov. Manning; said:
"1 will sign the bill repealing cotton
acreage reduction. 1 make this
statement in order that our farmers
may know definitely what to expect
and be able to pitch their crops and
make their arrangements for the season.
"This action of the legislature relieves
me of the effort to enforce a
law liking provision for its enforcement
and it would seem an injustice
to the small farmers to require such
reduction by legal enactment when
no other State in the cotton raising
belt required it. Material and heavy
reduction in South Carolina's cotton
acreage will be automatic by reason
of the heavy losses incurred on last
year's crop and the depression in business
resulting therefrom.
Boll Weevil Coming.
"I trust that the lesson of disaster
from a single money crop will be
lasting and that in diversification of
crops, cattle, and stock raising, our
farmers will prepare for the condition
that will be upon us in a few
years from the approach of the boll
weevil. The time is upon us when
we must meet this situation. I hope
that a campaign of education on this
subject will awaken our people to
the necessity of solving our marketing
problems, so that efforts to diversify
our crops will not be abortive
or bring loss to those who try it.
"Raise home supplies and provide
a sane plan fro selling surplus crop.1
and stock. Reduce use of fertilize 1^
by winter cover crops and stock. YV'
must raise cotton more economically
?the largest item of expense is the
fertilizer bill,, and yet reduction ol
the fertilizer bill should be made by
reducing acre; ge in cotton ratlin
than by curtailing the amount of fertilizer
used per acre."
