. VOL0ME BELIEVE WAR WILL LAST ANOTHER YEAR Allies Plan to Wear the Germans Down by Slow Operations. The war will last another year, according to the census of opinion among the British soldiers and their leaders. This is also the opinion ol the Germans, if views of prisoners count for anything. Before the grand offensive started a high authority informed the correspondent of the Associated Press that the German line would not be broken this summer, and that slow operations, wearing down the Germans would be inaugurated and would probably last through another summer. With the approach of winter conditions, which make military movements difficult, this oft recalled prediction he said: "We know what! the German resources were and what ours were and the time required to force a decisive victory for our arms is a matter of calculation." Process of Attrition German prisoners taken during the summer invariably spoke of peacebeing a certainty in the autumn. They regarded the Sommc thrust as a final effort of the Allies for a decision, and that after it peace would be made. Their tone has been entirely different of late. They recognize that it is a fight to a finish between ithe man-power and resources of the two foes and that an ultimate decis ion will come from fearful attrition on the western front which now will know no intermission until the end. The Germans are determined to make every village on the western front a fortress which will yield only when reduced by powder, by shell fire, aud every gulley and crater a machinepost to secure their defensive against a.critical defeat. o ?

LYNCHES NEGRO Abbeville, Oct 21?Taking the authorities by surprise a mob, composed of 200 to 300 persons, entered the Abbeville jail this afternoon and overpowering the jailer, took Anthony Crawford, a negro, from a cell to lynch him near the fair grounds. Death for the negro was made doubly sure, the mob hanging him to a tree, and then riddling his body with bullets. ' ' The dead negro owned considerable property in Abbeville county, where he was engaged in farming. He was said to have amassed a fortune of $20,000. The negro cursed and otherwise abused an Abbeville merchant this morning and a crowd * gathered to inflict a beating. As this attempt was being made the negro struck M. B Cann, one of the crowd, on the head with a hammer, inflicting a serious wound. The crowd gave Crawford a severe thrashing and would doubtloss have killed him but for the interference of Sheriff Burts who managed to place the negro in jail about 11 o'clock. The sheriff called a physician to dress Crawford's wounds and no further trouble was anticipated unless Mr. Cann's injuries proved fatal. At 3:30 o'clock the crowd quickly formed and moved to the jail, entering the building from the rear street. The surprise attack was completely successful as a summary attack before nightfall had not been remotely J 1 Icuiisiuerea The jailer was quickly and effeci tively overpowered and the negro secured aiid hurried to a point near the fair grounds where he was hanged to a pine tree and the body riddled with bullets. Coroner Nance held an inquest over the negro's body late this afternoon, the verdict being that Anthony Crawford came to his death at the hands of parties unknown to the jury. Cann, suffering from his injury; inflicted by the hammer in the hands r4 the negro, is expected to recover. o UNIVERSITY NOTES.

THIS WOULD GIVE U-BOATS FREE HAND Attitude of America Has An Important Bearing on the Situation. The kreigs Zeitung, says the evening edition of the Lokal Anzeiger, publishes a report that the British have ordered the arming of all merchantmen, and says that as a result Germany may be forced to take up a sharper submarine campaign, with consequent endangerment of German-American relations. It continues : "If it is true England actually intends to arm all its merchantmen with heavy, and, therefore, far carrying, guns and thus label them plainly as warships intended for attack, it can not be avoided that, whethre we wish to or not, we must give a sharper tendency to our submarine campaign." England's Purpose "We wonder if it is not England's precise intention," the Kreigs Zeitung continues, "to bring us into difficulties with other powers, particularly America' by its new measures. America's answer regarding the admissibility of submarines to neutral harbors and waters was, of course, ,to be expected. America, which In , , the future intends to give wide playto the submarines in its own navy, could not possibly tie its hands by establishing important precedents. "Whether the United States with its conception of submarine warfare would adopt any further conception and in case of intensification of our 1 i* * i " ? ? lit viii wan are wiui England would relax its principles in an open question. It is probable, however, that if we desire to adapt our method of warfare to the sittuation created by the army of British armed merchantmen, we will have to go over carefully with the government of the United States all the possibilities of of the newly created situation. For we may accept this much now as certain: Aside from a few jingoes and shouters who would involve America in the war at any price, the American people would dislike most greatly to have the submarine question lead to a new dispute between Germany and America."
