THE PALMETTO STATE IS I j "t STIRRING! During theweeh ending March M the sales of War Sayings Stamps * In 'South Ckrolinfc amounted to $80,39^1.26. which far exceeded any'previous -week of saMi and fully doubled the average weekly tales since 4 the campaign started. The, increase continued through the week ondiug April $, when sales amounted to $72,562.25. No later figures were available up to April 15, but the officials of the South Carolina ^ar Savings , Committee are fully confident that the encouraging Increase will continue. The last national report, up to March 1, showed that South Carolina was last on the list of states in W. S. S. sales, but the present indications lead the South Carolina committee to expect the state's position i to be materially bettered by the end of April. m ?. .? . . a . . . aigns are multiplying tnat tne state nas awakened to the significance! I of the War Savings movement. It. In now realized that to absorb $32,000,000 worth of War Savings Stamps Is no child's affair, but. a serious duty that demands the co-operation of every man, woman, and child of the * p' state. At present about 33,000 people In this state own Liberty Bonds. and when the Third Loan is over hardly 75,000 people In this state will* ^ own them?which leaves about 1,500,000 people who can help by Investing A v In War Savings Stamps. W. S. S. activities are on the increase all over the state, and tho awakening of the people and the hundreds of loyal workers Is a trilling, inspiring turn of events. The state committee la confident that South Carolina, if figures were known, no longer stands at the bottom of the list, and sends an urgent appeal to the men, women, and children of the Palmetto State to Think. Talk, and Buy War Savings Stamps, and thereby keep the state out of last place and send It higher j and higher. : By purchasing War Savings and Thrift Stamps to the limit, South t Carolina can convincingly demonstrate the intense patriotism which animates and dominates the state. ^ I Two Ends of People _ \ ^????? A spirited appeal has been made to Wl W South Carolinians by C. G. Rowland, prc*3i^ Whk- dent of the National Bank of South CaroJ I lina, at Sumter, S. C. So inspiring is the I i i^ ii ii i iiiw letter which he has mailed to hundreds of I ttti^ people in this otate that the War Savings I UNITED 8TATB9 Committee for South Carolina feels that his I jLlCFVEltMMEKT message merits v/fde publicity:. The letter follows: "Dear Fellow American: I believe the biggest job the United States, this bank, and you have on hand just now is to win the war. That isj why I am making every effort all the time to do our part to bring this about. That la why I am spending this bank's money for stamps and I stationery, to oall your special attention to the Liberty Loan bonds and War Savings Stamps. The demand Is that avsry man, woman, and child in the United States 'mutt halp.

RED CROSS TO COLLECT SLOTHING FOR BELGIUM Hoover Aoko Davison's Aid In Work Of Relief deginntng March 18 and ending March 25, a seven day, nation-wide campaign will be carried on by the American Red Cross and the Commission for Relief in Belgium to secure a minimum quantity of 5,000 tons of clothes , for the destitute people of Belgium and the occupied portions of Northern France. At the request of Herbert Hoover, chairman of the Commission for Relief in Belgium, Henry P. Davison. t'h n-J " ?> nu \'l II1H V./TOS8 W HI Council, has granted the use of the national Red Cross organization for collecting the needed clothing. As the commission has allowed most of its local committees to disband because of the financial armngements made last June with the government, it has turned to the Red Cross for help. Where the local committees of .the Relief Commission are still intact, they will work side by side with the Red Cross Chapters. The practically entire exhaustion of clothing, shoes, and leather in occupied P.elgiuni and Northern France and the shortage of these necessities in the world's markets are making it increasingly difficult for the Commission io keep clothed and shod the unfortunate people in these territories. In addition to new material, gifts of used and sun lus clothing, shoes, blankets, Uannel cloth, etc., arc needed in large quantities from tho people of the Uuited States. The donations will, be shipped at once to the Atlantic seaboard and sent uvtMMeus ror distribution. CANTEEN SERVICE FOR SAMMIES IN FRANCE Red Crocs To Serve Boys In The Front Lino Trenches The American Red Cross has Just arranged to establish with the American troops in France a front line canteen service similar to that through which they have served more than a million poilus with hot drinks during the last six months, according to a cable Just received by the War Council from Major James H. Perkins, Rod Cross Commissioner to France. This will consist of rolling canteens stationed close behind the front line trenches. There are now fifteen of these operating behind the French lines, from which fifty or more large receptacles of hot drinks are sent forward daily, usually in the small hours of the morning. These drinks are served free to the men going on or ooming off duty. This service has proven of such value to the Freuch that the American army has asked the Red Cross to have this service directly in touch with the medical relief stations nearest the front. The work is often done under heavy shell fire and men of great bravery and sympathy. The American army officers are manifesting a keen interest in having this service at the disposal of the American troops and have asked the Red Cross to enlist a substantial number of men of the highest caliber to undertake this work. It will be performed at the point nearest the firing line at which civilians are permitted. RICE, RICE, RICE! Best Blue Rose Whole Grain Rico at $3.50 Der hundred. casii.

FOLLOWS WEEK : OF PREPARAtlOlf Hun Forces Again Hammering at Front Door of Amiens TEUTONS GAIN MILE AS BRITISH RETIRE Hn.io,'a M on WiFVi ? ? atavaa vf iiuuian x' i sjiul Village of Villers-Bretonneux. Late news last week said after three weeks of preparation in the Somme, during which time they launched an offensive in Flanders, the Germans have resumed their hammering at the front door oT Amiens. For days there has been heavy artillery firing along the' northern sectors of the Somme salient and finally the German infantry began their attempts to advance cm the line passing Villiers-Bvetonneux, have caused a British withdrawal from this village, according to a port from Field Marshal Haig. This marks a German gain of about a mile. Villiers-Bretonneux is about 11 miles directly east of Amiens and is on the northern end of tHe latest fighting front. It is situated between the Somme and Luce Rivers, and, while it is flanked on the south by low lying ground, it is by rolling hills to the west and northwest. Little News From North. The fighting on the rest of the front where the Germans have resumed their drive toward the allied base of supplies in Northern France has not, so far as known resulted in any notable retirements on the part of the allies. The German official report issued- on Wednesday was silent as to events in this sector of the front, r An attack on this particular part of the line in the Somme region had been expected and it is probable that preparations to meet it had been made. The British lines held firm in this region during the last days of the initial drive while the Germans were able to forge ahead farther south untyl they reached the village of Castel, about three miles from the railroad running to Paris from Amiens. This new drive has been made at the same time that another blow has been struck at the British and French lines northwest of Ypres. Savage fighting is reported at various points along the line from Bailleul to Merville and Berlin claims that heights to the northeast of Bailleul have been stormed. Coincident with those attacks, there have beeh assaults on the British forces near Bethunc, along the Lawe River, but hose have been repulsed. Submarine Bases Hurt. Some of the uncertainty as to the access of the British exploit in attempting to soul up the harbors of Zeebruggo and Osten has been cleared up by observations carried out by aviators. Grave damage was done to :he mole at Zeebrugge and the channel leading out to sea from the port d" Ostend is said to have been partly blocked. On the front in France, with the ex ception of the Somme salient, there has been little fighting of an unusual nature. The situation between Germany and Holland is still obscure. It has been reported that a virtual ultimatum was delivered to the Netherlands government by Berlin but this is not i i yet known to be a fact. Dispatchis from The Hague insist that Hoi p.m'. will not depart from her attitude ot neutrality. An unofficial report says that, the Dutch minister has left for The Hague and that the German minister has started for Devlin.
