C.?Sixteen white ^ male patients at the South Carolina Hospital for the Insane here perished in a fire which destroyed a cno story frame structure on the ho; pit I irrounds Wednesday moraine: shortly after o'clock. Fifteen of the number were burned to death in the building, having run hack into the burning structure after they had been taken to a place of safety by rescuers. The other dead man was rescued from the building a second time but not until after he had received injuries from which he died a few hours later. Four other pa'icnts aTe more or less seriously injured. There were 45 patients sleeping in the ward and the greatest difficult ' was experienced" in saving thdtvi. Thr building was a very old one n proved an easy prey to the flamewhich spread so rapidly that by th time the fire department reached t'u scene the building was doomed. Hospital authorities state that ev cry patient in the ward was rcmov cd, but that most of them ran baY into the burning building. Elfor's of the nurses and attendants to hole \ an of them back proved unavailing. The origin of the fire is unknown The only explanation advanced thus far is that the building was a veii table fire trap. It adjoined one o: the main buildings of the asylum ii which there were several hundre< patients. These were all removed a this building was at one time en <langered.

Soissons Carried Out Methodically and Slowly QUIET CONFIDENCE IN OUTCOME OF FIGHT ? Allied Reserves Massing in Perfect Arrangement Without Confusion. Pari.-..?Increasing violence marked the progress of the fighting south of the Aisne. The Germans are fight ing against time and arc throwing every ounce of weight of manpow 1 into the struggle. On the center, the enemy ha ; rgai t pushed forward, but his efforts t) broaden his advancing front have m t with less success. The Allied wings . ave been oblgiod to give ronte ground. This action was carried out slowly and the full price was exacted from the enemy. Soissons has gone and the British have fallen back toward Rheims, but in either case the enemy has only won a couple of miles ot territory. In competent circles there is quiet confidence in the outcome and signs are not lacking that the advancing waves shortly will be stemmed. Unity of command puts 'the Allies in a better position than they were in the March offensive. On that occasion French reinforcements came into action on the third day and on the eighth the Germans were stopped definitely. Today things should go more quickly. The Germans have been obliged to leave their guns on the northren side of the original line, which can be crossed only at a certain number of ' points which are highly vulnerable to : Allied airplanes. j The onemy is thus prevented from reaping the full benefits of his rapid j advance. Meanwhile, the Allied re-! ' serves are massing at certain points without any of the confusion that atj. tended the similar movement in March. So well perfected are the j arrangements that an entire division can be moved by motor truck from the Somme to Rheims in 48 hours and a drive without a button miss^ inSi ?

I i t wmmmm mmm mrmmmmm Wonderful Medicine Peruna Enough ODD FELLOWS ASKED TO QIVE UP EATINQ WHEAT Columbia. Lo4cm of Odd Fallows throughout South Carolina and the individual members of this great organisation have been called upon by the officers of the Sovereign Grand Lodge for support of the program of the Food Administration to save wheat. All Odd Fellows are urged through the Sovereign Grand Lodge to voluntarily abstain from the use of wheat foods until after the next harvest. There are in the United States about 2,300,000 Odd Fellows. The membership of this order in South Carolina is very large, and there will no doubt be a generous and a patriotic response to the appto&l to save wheat to help feed the fighting forces of America and the allies and the { people of the allied countries.

This had once been beautiful rolling and like our own Ohio and Indiana * i rich In grain fields, or*hards and gar- j lens. Now it was desolation nothing I 'ould live there seemingly nothing < lid.

That satisfying chug of an honest hammer head sinking willing nail into sound wood, and before us was a pauoruma of new building, with piles of lean lumber stacked bere und there, and the framing of many new buildings told where the wood was going. Then we heard the voice of a man who talked real "United States"?telling 27 other carpenters what to do? out In this foreign land thousands of miles from home. We inquired of the boss as to who he was. and with true sense of humor he said: "1 am a Red Cross nurse. My Job la bandaging wounded houses." Putting Village# Back en Map. "This was once a French village." he went on to say. "in the center of due sugar beet country. We are living now on the site of the sugar mill," he said, pointing to a long, low barracks, which plainly had been recently built. "We are working for the American fled Cross?putting villages back en the map. In four tnore weeks we'll be out of here and on our way to the next ruin, for there are many villages that need us. We go from place to place, always finding that our lumber has reached there first, so we can get right to work, clean up and move on again."

Perhaps, in fact, it was the long, ardent tight in America age Ins' the White Plague which, in spite of the ware enormous new demands, Is responsible for the especial Interest being taken Ly the American Red Cross in Prance's frightful struggle against consumption. This scourge seems to mark the trench tighter for its own. It kills more men than do bullets and poison gas combined. Until tire American Red Cross was perndtteo bv the French government to start Its drive against tuberculosis It looked as If, even with a victory over the Hun. France might eventually be conquered by this deadlier foe. Already things are looking brighter. The Red Cross has taken over old hospitals and built new ones. Mora than 300 tuberculosis dispensaries are to be opened throughout the country, and Red Cross doctors and nursea?scores of them?are devoting themselves ex> clusively to this tight, doing over there exactly the same kind of work which Is financed in America by the little Christmas seals. It Is one of the wayi In which by our contributions to the Red Cross America can repay her debt 11 to ft rauco _ KPoSrSftEASE war departmbr: Splendid Valor of American Soldiers in Great Battle Now Raging IMERICAN ASSAULTS MAY BE FORERUNNER Foch May Launch Counter Blow From this Line. Washington.?Reports of success mi upenaions oy American sokiciis lire coming- to the War Departments Secretary Baker said today. Details of the action were received in the regular official communiques from General Pershing. The secretary made this statement when asked to comment on the situation in Europe: "I cannot comment on the general situation," he said. "We are constantly receiving reports of splendid valor and successful operations by our American soldiers and I am very proud of the part they are playing. The details of these actions will appear in the communiques from Gen. dl iVi'Suing.*' War Department officials are high !y pleased at the conduct of the Am'riean troops in Picardy. The attack hat brought the capture of Cantign.v, they pointed out today, was deivered with speed and precision, testifying to the hard-hitting quality of the Americans. "The quick consolidation of the ground won, noted by both foreign and American correspondents," officers said, "gives satisfactory proof VI tuv apiiium- Wl /villt'l ICitll UUHXrv and men in learning the method of modern warfare." Some officers believe the Amtttean attack may forecast the launch* ing of a counter offensive of large* scope by General Foch. They regard the time and place of the operations is right for a feeling-out thrust as a preliminary to a counter-a: sault he force. The German claim of 13,000 prisoners in the new thrust on the Ak-ae ront did not strike observers here as unusual, should it prove to be true. British official statements have shown that the front line trench system in this sector was overrun in the enemy rush, which appears to have penetrated to a maximum depth of about ten miles. It is believed here that rear guard actions account Cor many captures. Most observers here are still convinced that the Germans have no* yet struck at the point where their I real offensive is planned. NATION URGED 1 TO SAVE WHEAT Washington. The nation waa warned again today by the food administration that there must be no re taxing in the conservation of wheat if the necessary shipment; are to be made to the American fighters overseas and the allied peoples. "Every prospect of the wheat situation, both present and future," said the warning, "intensifies the need for the greatest possible limitation in the American consumption of wheat and wheat products. If present restrictions should in the slightest degree be relaxed, it would result in serious want for the people of Europe before the new crop can reach the market. "The food administration's estimate of the position on June 1 indfj cates a total available supply until the new harvest of about 56,000,000 bushels. Of this 1*0,000,000 bushels must be exported before new wheat is available for export if we are to maintain the necessary shipments to our army and the allies, i "State administrators meeting here this week were unanimous in the view that even if the coming harvest does prove abundant it will be the first duty of the American people to place every grain they can save into I storage to build up a reserve against possible bad years ahead. In causei quence there should be no antkip*I tion of unlimited wheat bread unti > the war is over." ; o i The beautiful new Red Cro& > House for convalescent soldiers a | Camp Jackson is rapidly nearinj \ completion and will very soon b " j thrown open for their use.
