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

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.

NATIONAL MOVE
FOR PHYSICAL
REGENERATION
Started by National Security
League Through Committee
Headed by Walter Camp.
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."
Mayor Itnsmussen of Fnlrport ITnthor.

TOASTED CIGARETTES.
Through the patriotism of the citizens
of this country thousands of
smoke kits are being distributed to
American soldiers inFranee., Authorities
agree that men in the* trenches
need cigarettes almost as much as
food and munitions.
Doctors* nurses, and commanding
officers all join in the demand which
has awakened in this country a great
movement to keep our boys supplied

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 !

, keep alive in the rain and mud and j
j under continuous German bombard-;

went into No Man's Land this morn- j
ing. The Germans fired on the. Ited
Cross flag but the stretcher bearci s
kept waving it and the enemy f'r
stopped.
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.

proved such a good fighter that

in his command. Father Farrcl'
vent to the assistance of a battery
lien four of the American gunners
vere killed, carried up ammunition
nd helped the crew to keep the gun
c.rlving. Ho was wounded slightly.
Raymond Conner of New Haven, a

| Information For Dealers' Who
Will Apply To The Food
Administration.
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.
Potatoes are the most plentiful and
economical food that consumers can
buy at the present tine.
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. C.. who is
in charge of the work in this State,

will aid the farmer boys in their effort
in greater production of food. Offers

to the great shortage of food, and said:
"The greatest thing needed Is

For my part, I'd become a clay-eater
