B i-ki ii .in TERHtFfC STRUGGLE GOES ON STEADILY I lide of Great Battles in Two Fields Surge to and'' Fro . i ii BRITISH COME BACK AFTER RETIREMENT Recover Village of Villers-Bre tonneux, Previously Lost. The groat double German drive, in the Somme and Armentieres sector which began Wednesday morning o last week developed into a terrific struggle. The tide of battle has su gfed to and fro, with the decision ia the balance. The llritsh, having been forced back out of Villi rr.-Bretouneux, launched a countoiatlack a:.d swept the Germans back almost i tile lines which were held before the present fighting began. The VTw.e have been driven back out of Hang ard-cn-Santorre, but are holding* their position.? close by. while on t line southwest of Yprcs, the liriti: have been compelled to withdr; v.* slightly before furious attacks along the Mteren-Baillcul-Wytscliaete line. Wounded Americans are arriving at a hospital behind thb French lines in the Somme sector, showing* thai General Pershing's men are bearing their share of the burden cf the great battle. Notwithstanding the frantic preparations made by the Germans for a continuance of their drive toward Amiens, and the extreme violence of the fighting, their gains thus far in that region have been very small. Along the line from Albert south to Castel, except at Hangarden-Santerre, the German assaults have been hurled back by the allied forces. It is unofficially reported that four to six German divisions or from 48,nnn frv 79 nnn ni nn lioirn Imi i>1 s-i. 1 vw W | jV W IIIV1I) 11 tl v UCt 11 liu I IVJ'.l ai the Brtish and French near Ypres The retirement of the British in this sector must have been small, for there are no great gains reported by Berlin so far. It was rumored Thursday that Mount Kemmcl, a dominating height north of Wulverghem, had .been taken by the enemy, but this has not been confirmed. That only slight gains were made anywhere along the two fronts which have been subjected to attack, is proof that the allies are prepared to defend their positions. In the last three weeks, the Germans have hurried up heavy cannon to tho old Somme battle ground and have marched many fresh divisions to the points where they- have been, held for the moment of attack. ii ?: ?

Impressed by the fact that 29 per cent, of the young men called to. the colors in the draft are being rejected for physical disability, the National Security League has started a nation wiue movement 10 promote tlte physical welfare of the youth of the land through the organization by communities of branches of a Committee on Physical Reserve, of which Walter Camp, veteran trainer of athletes, is chairman. In answer to a letter sent by the league to the mayors of all the cities In tlie country of over 5,000 population asking them to appoint committees to co-operate with Mr. Camp, 200 committees in 30 states have already been appointed to carry out th^ idea. Associated with Mr. Camp on the Committee on Physical Reserve are William G. Anderson, member of the Advisory Committee of Yale University Gymnasium, and Joseph E. Raycroft, member of the War and Navy Departments Commission on Training Camp Activities. "Economic Disaster." In discussing this new effort of the Security League, S. Htnnwood Menken, president of the league, said: "The National Security League has taken up this work because the country cannot afford without serious economic disaster to lose the benefit of the service of nearly one-third of the men who are drafted for military duty because of physical unfitness and whose places must be taken by those who have dependents. The draft figures show that 20 per cent, of the men are physically unfit. The work is neeessnry, as, with the strain upon American brain, it is essential lha: public attention be focussed upon the need of paying also due regard to physical safety. The efliciency of the I human engine and the ability of the man-power of the nation to withstand attrition, and the extra work that the men who are doing things have to hear at present, makes It important that these men should recognize the part that physical exercise plays in their ability to bear their full loud of work. Life Worth $11,000. "Furthermore, with the dliliculty in supplying a full quota of labor for industries, it is necessary that the man | power of tlie nation should be increased by the maximum measure ?.f physical strength. 10 very individual lias a direct interest in seeing that this result is brought about. As au economic matter, each life is estimated to he worth to the nation $11,000 and we cannot afford to waste any part of this most valuable national asset. As a human matter we cannot as a Christian people, supposedly representing the highest intelligence and civilization, allow our people to neglect the simple tilings which would save them if fully understood. . "The work which .Mr. Camp lias undertaken is a movement of such nationwide importance and so manifestly needed Unit its mere presentment will commend it to every thoughtful American." "Thoroughly Agree." Some of the indorsements of the Security League idea in organizing this nation-wide campaign for physical regeneration read: Mayor Council of Scrnnton, I'n., "I i thoroughly agree with you as to taking j care of our young men physically and i morally, and I am pleased to co-operate with you."

TWO AMERICANS HAD A CLOSE CALL! | _ I I With the American Army 'a France, Thursday.?Two America i j soldiers, wounded;in tin* engagement,: around Sciehoprcy last Saturday.' were found alive today in a dugout i in No Man's Land. The dugout had j been badly smashed by German she !1 ! ; fire and how the men managed to' , keep alive in the rain and mud and j j under continuous German bombard-; I ments, physicians say, is little short of miraculous. !

The American troops in the Seicheprey fight, additional details show, were outnumbered, in some instances, eight to one. The latest advices aiv that the American casualties are much under the first estimates. Edward Jacques, a New Haven boy, told the crorespondent he was one of a hundred and fifty Americans I i who at one time were almost sur-1 rounded by at least eight hundred Germans. The French came to thoL assistance, said Jacques. j Scrgt. John A. Dickman, formerly I a printer of Sommerville, Mass., an ' i who is now wounded in a hc-spita'.' told a remarkable story. Ho and hi men had charge of two Stokes guns j They were isolated for 12 minutes o j an enemy barrage and were una'.ic I to signal the American lines. Die':- j man was wounded but kept pouring : j hot fire into the German attacking j waves and broke up the foir.iatlon j Mc and his men retired only when , heir guns became jammed. "Machine Gun" Parker who mann i; . gun by himself, was asked by h V ' superior officer at one stage of the j engagement whether he could ho'd the line. He relied that he could, un-I less killed, and he did. Father William J.

Columbia.?If there is in South Carolina any community where prices of Irish potatoes have not decreased to a level which places this food within the reach of all, by reason of the fact that food dealers have not been able to secure potatoes at a wholesale price which will permit of selling them* at lower retail prices, the Food Administration is in position to inform such dealers where potatoes can be secur ed at prices comparable with the surplus stock in South Carolina at the present time. A letter or postal addressed to the Food Administration at Columbia will bring this information to anyone inquiring.

SOU-fH CAROLINA l?OYS ARE HELPING FEED THE WORLD Splendid Work cf Corn nnd Pig Club Coys Forms C!',g Contribution to Food Supply. Columbia.?The report of L. L. Baker. Supervising Agent of Boys' Club Work in South Carolina, recently male to Dr. \V. W. Long. Director of Extension Work in this State, a copy of which has been received by the Food Administration. illustrates in a most forcible and convincini- nmnnot how farmer hoys can. on their own responsibility, aid materially in the production and conservation of food at this critic al time in the world's i history when the crying demand of a hungry, fighting world is for more and more food. At the same time, the hoys are earning money with which to huv Liberty Hoods, thus helping in a double-barreled manner to help win the war. Members of the Corn Club in South Carolina produced last year 26,813.21 bushels of corn at an average cost of forty cents a bushel, the average yield being fifty-three bushels to the acre. Figuring corn at *2.00 per bushel, which is conservative, the total net profit was $42.689.47. The total net profit resulting from the Boys' Pig Club in the State was $13,998.01. The total net profits of South Carolina farmer boys Jn these two' projects for the year was $56,687.48. There is an effort being made to more than double the membership of the Corn and Pig Clubs during present year. Last year there were 1056 hovs enrolled in Corn Club Work, of whom, however, only 501 reported; and 1,250 boys enrolled in Pig Clubs, of whom onlv 856 repotted. I To assure the success of the Corn ! and Pig Club work {n South Carolina, the co-operation, encouragement and support of the public-spirited citizens Is necessary. For instance, last year a number of bankers in different parts of the State he'.pod by offering prizes, and in this way thousands ?of dollars' worth of pure bred pigs were brought' into the State, very materially adding to the breeding stock of hogs. Cue of the greatest difficulties has been encountered in supplying the boys with pigs. This splendid work of the farmer boys of South Carolina has formed a big contribution to the food supply of the country, and it is a work which offers opportunity for many public-spirited people to lend their aid. There will be more Pig Club bovs this year if the pigs to supply them are offered?or the money with which to buy pigs?and L. h. Baker. Supervising Agent of Boys' Club Work. Bishopville. S.
