Every indication, how ever, points to the probability that the coming week will witness its renewal. " The entente allied staffs, so far as their opinion can be learned, appearconvinced that the enemy has about completed his reorganization and re-1 adjustment of forces and that he is I only awaiting weather suitable to his purpose to strike his new blow. Fair weather is reported from the battle front, but apparently this is not to the German's liking. It is recalled that he was materially aided in bis drive from St. Quentin in March by the foggy, misty conditions prevailing, during which the enemy masses could be moved to the point sheeted for the heaviest stroke without coming under allied aerial obscvvrvtion. It may therefore, be the eneir.y's purpose to await similar condi it*.- s before essaying his second jjii at push. German Public Prepared., \m i German public opinion is being prepared by Chancellor von Hertling and others, for the imminence of renewed heavy fighting.

CONWAY DON'T FORGET THE DA (allies have received notable reinforcements from the' United States, which day by day is increasing the number of its men on the Franco-Belgian front. The total mileage of front held by American troops, indeed, is revealed to be the third greatest, the French standing-first, the British second and the Americans exceeding the Belgian total. y* ' * ' While the rival forces are thus poised for the clash in the West, important developments appear to be impending in the Far East. German aggression in Russia has reached a point where the entente press is clamoring for counter measures, and some action of this nature is apparently about to be taken, at least as far as the safety of the peace of the bar East and probably of Siberian int.Pirritv onr\nr*\'v\c\il China and Japan Act. The action, it is understood is to be confined for the present to China and Japan who, with entente assent are to cooperate in protecting Manchuria, with the possibility that the operations may be extended into Siberia as a more effective defensive measure. The bringing of the conscription question to a head seems likely to result from the government's action and with it may come the solution of the problem as to how far Ireland may be counted upon to swell the P.ritish man power for the fight against Germany either voluntarily or otherwise. FRENCH EXPECT MANY AMERICANS Washington With more than 500,000 men now in France army officials are more than ever hopeful that a powerful American force will be cooperating with the allies there by the end of the year. Unhappy experience with over sanguine estimates of what can be accomnlished make them slow to put their hopes into definite predictions, however, and it was not possible to obtain specific confirmation of the report from P&ris that 1,500,000 fighting troops before January 1 had been promised. The statement of Premier Clemenccau'r; newspaper that such a promise had been made was not believed by army ol'ficters generally to mean that the Aihcricgn government had defi' m i - li ti ^ fo \si % <)> W l: ; > *1 .

Secretary Baker would make yit^ comment on the stateme weeks ago he told the senate military committee, however, that the governiment then-, had hopes of getting -1 It 500,000 to the front during the yearj Since then his. estimate that 500,000^ would" reath Stanch early in the year has been fulfilled. The French article indicates that under the prgram a total of 2,000.000 American troops would reach' France during the year, 1,500,000 of which would be fighting units. Whe'Ji : cr that i*esult can be obtained doI pends on the shipping situation. The men and the essential equipment for them can be ready. Under the authority sought by President Wilson to organize as large an army as it is found possilbe to train, equip and transport it is known that officials expect 2,000,000 to be under arms during the next 12 months. Many believe that even a larger force can be handled as it now appears quite probable that a total of 4,000,000 during the year will be near er the mark. Question of Command. Secretary pakor explainer oduy his view as to what the new pra^uce of brigading American units with French and British divisions and the appointment of General Foch as supreme commander might bring about in the way of producing mixed army corps or divisions. It is entirely pos sible, ho said, that American division or higher commanders will have command of French or British troops or both under the movements ordered by General Foch. Where mixed divisions or corps are constituted and American troops predominate, Mr. Baker regarded it a.? probable that an American will eon<mand if one of adequate rank an 1 experience is available.

Vll Ei TT ?"5 O Conducted by the Department of Education. The following letter has been receivecj from Clemson College: "Our records show that one fouryear scholarship to Clemson College will be vacant this summer for Horry County. The state law requires that the competitive examination for the award of scholarships and for the entrance to the freshman class to be held on July 12, beginning at nine o'clock. It is desired that these scholarships go to worthy and deserving boys. The demand for college trained men is far greater than the supply. A scholarship student may also receive aid from the United States Gov ernment. Such a student would be | enabled to secure an education at very little expense. The scholarships in tho one-year ag ricultural course will be open this year as usual." f ,>{ ,3 This ,i? a^RlepO^ pnponunify.l^-, t^wo boys in the coujityj- to themselves for work in'some of the many fields. whiflHyfaft'- i>'beniiLg, io our young people hnd 1 *crust th?P these scholarships will fall to deserving boys.

This is exactly In keeping with the policy of the County Board of Education towards our schools dlirintr ?. ? - >>>f) ???v year. We found Latin nnd French ' being taught in a few .of our schools and succeeded in most cases in eliminating them without much friction. In South Carolina 25 per cent, of our people can neither read nor write Another 25 per cent, can barely read and write; 75 per cent, never got beyond the fifth grade; 43 per cent, are on rented land and 20 per cent, are in cotton mills. Is our educational system meeting the needs of our poople? Let the above facts answer. What is the remedy? Begin' with what the people know and with the occupations they are engaged in and develop along practical lines. This State is agricultural and must forever remain so. But our present educa tional thought is not helping the farmer as it should. Our teachers do not know how to teach agriculture,; and the teachers do not know because j the colleges are not training them. Every college in this State would serve the interests of the people by giving a course in chemistry of soils and another in the physics of soils. Then every college for the education of women should offer courses in cooking, sewing and practical agriculture. Besides all this, there is no loom for any foreign language in our rural schools. Where such teaching is attempted it is poorly done and but little is accomplished. The time thus spent had better be devoted to the 75 per cent, who never get beyond the fifth grade. Let the colleges require for instance, a thorough preparation in English, history and mathematics. Then begin the foreign language in the freshman class and require three years instead of two. Graduates would know more languages than under the present system. With the languages out q? the way, more prac- ' tical science could be taught in the common schools. I -V ' ' ~ ' ' ' It is a matter of much regret to me that the school claims have been unpaid for the last few weeks.
