Fragments of time usually thrown , away are sufficient to make a fortune in the course of a life time. o A man had about as well be sick in ! fact, as to be frightened to death in j thinking that he is. o One way to offset the high cost of living brought on by the war, is to cut out all forms '' amusement. It is hard but every iutle bit will help. o Every country in the world, no matter how small should he respected ui.der world laws made for the common good in peace as well as in war time. This is one great thing which America stands for. o There are yet those who are doing nothing- in the way of preparation for war; but they hang; about blaming) somebody higher up for getting us into it. They are the kind who know nothing of the situation of which j they pretend to speak. For this coun- i try there is nothing except war that can make things right. How disappointing it must he to the young men who hastened to mar- j ry on the eve of the war, thinking thereby they would avoid being draft cd into the army; to be told that none will be exempt on account of marriage if the marriages were contracted for the purpose of avoiding enlistments. Somebody has remarked that it was lost effort anyway, for those who married would have war at home far worse than going to Europe to lock horns with the Germans. o The farmer who has raised plenty of supplies at home for his own use i? in better shape just now than nine tenths of other people. Corn may soar in price but he has plenty to feed his horses and 'his cattle and for his own consumption. Bacon may go to a dollar a poUfid but it does him no harm wiiOn he' has plenty of home raised me&fc tfr "last him while he is raising more! for another season. Some of the farmers of this section who have not heeded the good advice given them to raise plenty of food at home, will learn what it means to be without these same supplies. I b' Lands which were cut over for injber years ago is in many places jeiug cut over a second time to furnsh logs for the lumber mills. Land hat has been cut over is far from worthless. In the course of time it vill again be valuable for its timber, md does not matter that land is in apable of being cleared and planted, it is valuable for timber anyway. ? ?o Internal disturbances in Germany vill have more to do with ending the var than fighting could have on the jorders; if the people have reached ,he point where they are willing to *isk all they have and even their ives in vast numbers to compel a hange in Germany's political condiions. The real situation in Germany s unknown by reason of the strict ensorship the government maintains >ver all news coming out of that ;ountry. Enough has leaked through ;o show that Germany is facing a :risis in this respect, and that in a diort time it will either end the war, >r settle down for another long and doody hold-out against odds. o The ministers to this country sent >v Great Britain to confer with our ligh officials on the best way to mndle the war situation since the Jnited States came into it; took dans at once to relieve the mind of Ymericans of the idea that America s in for a short and bloodless war. n his opinion the war will be long tnd bloody, demanding extreme sae'ifices on our part before we are hrough and taxing this great connry to its limit both financially as veil as in the matter of firhting men 'or the front. It is evident that it vill be sometime before the United -Hates w ill be ready to participate in ho actual warfare in Europe, bo:ause it takes a long time in any case ,<> prepare for a thing* of this kind, lut in the opinion of those who know iiore about it than we do, there will jo plenty of room for this great ef'ert on our part before the Teutons no finally put down. They are now ;i bad shape but they arc not beaten, *ar from it. They are redu *ed lo the joint of desperation and in this respect they are prepared to fight t<mnihiliation and extermination. In he matter of extermination, if this s all that will settle them, the United States is ready and willing* to prepare for it as soon as the country possibly ;an, and then will stick to it to the fitter end.

PISTOL AND BLADE j IN NAVAL BATTLE London.?Two British destroyers on patrol duty in the English channel oil" Dover on the night of April 2C came upon a flotilla of six German destroyers and then ensued an encounter which will live long in the history of naval engagements. German destroyers were torpedoed and rammed; every gun aboard the combatants was working, sweeping the decks and tearing gaps in the sides of the opposing craft. There was the locking together of a British and } ' THE HOBkY gBKJ Will Never fie Wi \ ? v - * Thi Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Relieved Her Baby When Nothing Else Would. I Uttlr Mn* PnnHprirvnst is now four years old, and a fine healthy boy. When but a tiny baby, in fact almost from birth, ho suffered a great deal from constipation. His mother, Mrs. Carl W. Pendergrast, Red Key, Ind., heard of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, obtained a bottle of it from the drug store, and with it was able to quickly correct this condition. Mrs. Hendergrast says Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin has saved them from calling the doctor many times, and that she will never be without a bottle of it in the house to use when needed. She found it equally effective as a laxative for herself and other members of the family. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin, pleasant to the taste, mild in action and positive in effect. It does not gripe or strain, and contains no opiate or narcotic drug. It is the ideal family laxative, mild and German destroyer and 'the men] fought furiously in a hand to hand' battle. German seamen of a rammed I / 1 destroyer climbed ahoaixl one of the j British boats and a midshipman fought them back with an automatic pi.- tol. They were killed or driven again into the sea by British jackles who came to the midshipman's aid. The British destroyers were th< Swift and tiro Broke, and although j they had leceived many wounds, they returned to port. The story of the I engagement, compiled from the at-' counts of officers and men, has been j made public in the form of an offi cial report. It is an exciting and graphic story of a boaiding encounter with cutlasses and bayonets, recalling the days when wooden warships came together and the men! fought on the decks. Dashed at Enemy. The British destroyers were stc: nv ; ing on a westerly course. The Swift sighted the enemy at (100 yards and the Germans instantly opened fire. There were six German destroyers. The Swift replied and tried to rap the leading enemy destroyer. She missed, but in turning torpedoed another boat in the enemy line. Again the Swift dashed at the leader, which again eluded her and fled, with the Swift in pursuit. In the meantime the Broke had launched a torpedo at the second boat in the line which hit the mark and then opened fire with every possible gun. The Brokc's commander swum ai ound to port and rammed the third boat abi a>t the after funnel. Locked 3ogetlicr thus, the two boats fought"a desperate hand to hand conflict. The Broke swept the enemy's decks at point bk nk range with every gun from main armament to pompom maxim, rifle and pistol. Two other German destroyers attacked and poured a devastating lire o.\ the Broke, whose foremost gun crews were reduced from 18 to six men. Midshipman I)'nald Gyles, although wounded in the eye, kept all | the foremost guns i:i action, he himself assisting the depleted crews to lead. While he was thus employed a number of frenzied Germans swarm , ed up over the Broke's forecastle out | of the rammed destroyer and, finding themselves amid the blinding flashes of the forecastle guns, swept aft in a shouting mob. Pistol and Bayonet. The midshipman, amid the dead and wounded of his own gun crews and half blinded by blood, met the onset single handed with an automatic pistol. He was grapped by a German who tried to wrest the revolver away. The German was promptly bayoneted by Seaman In1 gleson.

Two minutes after ramming, the Broke wrenched herself free from h; r adversary and turned to ram the last of the three remaining German boats. She failed in this object but in swinging around, succeeded in hitting tho boats consort on the stem with a torpedo. Holly engaged with thos<? two fleeing destroyers, the Broke attempted to follow the Swift in the direction she was last seen, but a .shell stiuvk the Brokc's boiler rocm.j disabling her main engines. The enemy then disappeared in the da.kruss. The Broke, altering her course, headed in the direction of a destroyer which a few minutes later wa? .seen to be heavily afire and win sr crew on sighting the Broke, sent up ; shout for mercy. The Broke steered toward the German, regardless of the danger from a possible explosion oi the magazines and the Gorman seamen redoubled their shouts of ''Save' Save!" and then unexpectedly open ed fire. The Broke being out of control, was unable to manoeuvre to <xtricat? herself, but silenced the treacher\ with four ruonds; then, to insure hotown safety, torpedoed the G rmar j amidships.

Meanwhile the Swift continued her pursuit, but slight injuries which slu* received earlier in the action prevented her from maintaining full speed so she aandoncd the chase and soughfresh quarry.

The score is to0 large to tell, we will just say ,>ur gamecocks lost the game. There were several features, among them | a as old long "Rill" Folger the forme) Citadel and Carolina star who poked >ut a couple of home runs during the game. The first one cleared the fence in center field, a feat which is rarel\ accomplished. The second one started from the plate as usual and then took a bee line for left field the ball was found the following day by u rosident of the suburbs of Columbia. If- hue n At t'n* fl^.l '' ? m.

On Thursday and Friday the University will be the host of one orator and from one to five athletes coming from thirty-two high schools of the State to participate in the annual oratorical and track meets of the South Carolina High School Oratorical and Athletic Association. The faculty and students will take charge of the boys and hope to make th?ir stay with 113 a most pleasant one. N* one here has been able to learn \vh??

The hour of the morning drill wii! remain unchanged. The students ar becoming more and more entluisi u over the military traning here at th University and practically each mom ing sees some new men on the lield. More than half of the entire student body are now taking this training and find it vci y beneficial. Frank Green who started late has gained more than fifteen pounds since he began and Dock Singleton looks several years younger. With the opening of the South Atlantic League in this city Mo <1;in many of the University boys are attending the games regular. We don't know where the hole in the fence is but it is nothing unusual to find Frank Thompson and Julian I)u%:ibury parched in the bleachers each day with a brand new pack of five cent peanuts. With little more than six remain-' ing the students on the campus aic beginning to buckle down and put in ' more time on their books. This J warm spring weather makes it hard for one to confine himself in a small room and study when he could be out on the ball field or other places in the open enjoying himself, but "it just must he did" and tlie hoys are down after it. ?Forecast?2.
