rwo SAMMY BECOMES TOO INQUISITIVE ? i As Result, Live French Bomb Blows His Right Hand . Off i i AMERICANS ARE NOW TRAINING IN EARNEST ! French Admire Aptitude of Enthusiastic Pupils?Fine Comradeship. With the American forces in France.?The first field casualty < among the American forces occurred ! today. A soldier became too inquisitive in regard to the construction of a live French bomb among the supplies brought to camp for training purposes. He extracted the sa<V ty pin in some manner, and very soon thereafter a loud explosion occurred. Fortunately for the soldier, the bomb did not contain a charge of full ba1 H ' strength, or he would have l.ct'i blown to or ecs. As it was, o< escaped with the loss of his r;ght har.d. I Mi presdve Activity. At every vantage point near the camp i.mi in khaki ami men in blue could he seen today drilling, marching and digging side by side. Field mancu\ers were in progress at several places, while from more secluded spots came the rattle of machine guns. Musketry practice was being held and on every hand was activity which was most impressive. The French and American soldiers seem to enjoy their association thoroughly. The French frankly admire the aptitude of their enthusiastic pupils. Visits to the French front undoubt edly will be quite frequent in the future in order that American officers may acquaint themselves with conditions of life on the front line in its -various phases, including routine a* well as the actual working- out of offensive and defensive plans.

Robertson of Greenville, was called into the federal service lasi * week. The new war budget to carry the government through to next July and; to cover additional credits to the; allies promises to now far exceed $8,-i 000,000,000 and may amout to $10,-} 000,000,000. The executive committee of th? national Socialist party has decided to send delegates to the Socialist conference of the allies, countries ro he held in London August 8, and to i Socialist conference in Russia. During the week ending mid-; night July 22 not a single French merchant vessel was lost. The American sailing vessel Augustus Welt was sunk last Saturday. j i Increased facilities for the rapid shipment of lumber from Southern forests to the army cantonment, sites and the shipbuilding yards ?si one of the immediate and important results of a policy which has been adopted by the railroads' war board.

Capt. J. Roy Pennoll, highway engineer, commands Company A, South Carolina Engineers, and is now on duty with his command at Marion. o HEARD IN CONWAY I How Had Backs Have Been Made | Strong?Kidney Ills Corrected.

GATHERED AND CONDENSED FOR EASY READING No attempt is made to minimise the seriousness of the situation i . the war theatres in Europe. Tin United States is in the war and wi ! go through with it; but any hope of a short struggle has gone glimmering with the apparent almost complete collapse of the Russian war machine. Approximately two-thirds of tinNational Guard of the country is in i.t. i t t . ine ieoerai service under President Wilson's call. Quentin Roosevelt, youngest sot. of Theodore Roosevelt, has sailed f ?i France as a member of a contingent of American aviators. The labors of allied conference \vi 1 not be limited to the Balkans. Fo one thing it is important to clear th air after the reichstag action. President Wilson brought the Shi ping Board row to an abrupt termi nation last week by eliminating th two principals, William Dcnmcn chairman of the board, and Maj r Cien. Geo. W. Goethals, manager ??f the board's emergency fleet corpoin tion, in charge of construction. The $(>40,000,000 airplane bill In came a law with President Wilson' signature last week.

Shelley put in his place by the side of his wife. They were lovely and pleasant i their lives and in their death thov wore not far apart. One very characteristic mark *> this woman which adorned and glorified her life was her simple and beautiful trust in Cod. It was ;? benediction to be in her presence. The writer loves to recall the I Scripture reading and prayer So. | vice during the little visits to Bro. Shelly in his confinement to bed. When the prayer ended Bro.
