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.

ABBEVILLE MOB 7.
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.

The Dothan High School seems to

after having worried for several
hours, you can immagine every one
v\as getting snappish for refreshments.
After supper, a social hour
was spent in the grove, after which
they all took a strole on the strand
in the moon light. When 10:30 rolled
around, they went to the hotel,
where several hours of refreshing
sieep was spent. The next day was
spent on the beach. When they returned
to the grove in the aftemoor
to their surprise, they were joined b\
Mr. Glenn Marlowe, his mother, father
and sister, Minnie, who brought
them a basket laden with lots of got d
things to eat. Actions speaks louder

SUBMARINE ISSSIJE
GOMES UP AGAIN
German Paper Hears That
Great Britain Orders All
Merchantmen Armed.
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."
