SOL MUST SURRENDER MILITARY BASES Germany Will Have to Render Herself Helpless to Get Truce ARMY CHIEFS WiLL r\f*riAir MCAOIIDTC U C r i IVJ ?. IV! U.H o u r i _ o They Believe Germany Will Ultimately Have to Cry for Mercy Washington. ? Unconditional surrender by Germany was the interpretation put on President Wilson's final answer to the German plea for peace by both Americans and allied military officials here. Only by absoutc surrender they said can the enemy now preflir> lr>vinSnr?t incr evidence of his defeat-?invasion of Germany. There is no doubt anions officers that sooner or later the enemy will be compelled to accept these uncompromsiing terms. The German army is being pounded to death in the field, they declare, and the only thing Germany can hope to save from the wreckage is to prevent the war being carried across her borders. And that ca nbe accomplished only at the price of putting herself utterly at the mercy of the victors as did Bulgaria. Military opinion aPP-ared to be in full agreement that ni enunciating the policy that absolute safeguards and guarantees of the "present military supremacy'' of American and allied forces must control any armistice agreement, President Wilson hud placed it beyond the power of Germany to reap any benefit from an insincere move towards neaer. * .4*. y - - - T" * f ' ? * The question of the agencies to employed in framing armistice ver. ditions naturally will come up onl.\ when Germany has complied with ^hc President's oth^v r^nuivemcnts. It sGelned probable to ofi'Lors, however, that the military board of the supreme war eouiunl at Versailles Would bo the natural agency. The council Itself is composed only of the premers of the alied nations and President Wilson. The military and all other tcards of the council ar< advisory only and their recommendations must be ratified by tin. council to become effective. Without question Mar hnl Foch the supreme commander, iihd Die field commanders, Generals Petain Haig, Pcrshiig and Diaz, would b fully consulted and the resulting definite tonus of surrender in al probability would bo at once Vatifiej and laid before Germany as the onb price for respite from attack. Military Supreniacv. The general c , ncnts of the term! appear to all military officers. 1 is pointed out that it was the situ ation of today at the front tha constituted th esupremacy of whicl President Wilson speaks, the situa lion wheih must he adequately safe guarded. As competent militar judges see that situation, the Gci man army is in desperate straight particularly for man power. Thcr also is striking evidence of wanin morale. With the shoring' c? man-pov.t to meet, it was said that the Gci man general staff has lop 'al y deci cd upon shortening it. 1 .cs to ii crease the resisting' power of It i\ duced forces. To accomplish scientfiic retreat, however, t'.ie line in the rear mu d he prepared, o ganized and equip; ed in ad vane and the re. orve tro >ps must he ii stalled in those lines to receive ai chock the shock of" enemy pimsu after the rt treating forces have pa sod through to rest and reorguni: in the rear. Under the terific and never-cca ing hammering of the allied arm if however, they have no tirr. ' to a range, for withdrawal on the .ar scale necessary to meet their shrin inp; forces. Many officers have foa ed that by some diplomatic tricke the enemy would secure enough tii to fall back on the Rhine, short hi . line, redistribute his forces, i construct his stocks of guns and ai mupitioji and prepare fo-* a leng < fensive battle. Rrosident Wil o reply h as showrr the enemy, it w said, that this program no longer possible to him.

I PLANS TO PREVENT LOSS OF POTATOES _i Government Has Model Storage House and Offers B!ue Prints Free. For the purpose of instructing producers of sweet potatoes as to the L>est method 01 housing- them so ai to prevent decay during the winter months, the bureau of markets. Uui tec! Stales department or* agriculture, now has men in the field whoso duly it is to assist in storing the crop in such a way as to prevent loss. Fred L. Harkey, assistant in marketing fruits and vegetables, bureau of markets, was in Columbia yesterday and talked interestingly of tin plans of the government for the assistance of fanners in storing the'i sweet potato crop. Fifty per cent, of the sweet potato crop in the country is lo. t. In oouth Carolina 85 per cent, of the .rop is lo. t. .Most of this loss i aused by bad handlin r and improp) storage for the winter. Mr. Harkey says that the government has a model potato house. Poatocs stored in it will keep. He ill be glad to fumLh blue prints ot he potato house to any farmer free. Mot only will the plans bo turniskoti roe, but any inquiries having to do i,h the crop and its storage will bi welcomed and answered as fully at possible. The potato house plans are for houses of (iilfcrcnt capacities, ranging all the way from a house that will accommodate oUO bushels of potatoes to a house that has a capacity : 15,000 bushels. The total ccst o.' .hose buildings ranges from $200 to $300. Mi-. liarkcy will have his headjuartprs at Clemson College, and ah r.quiries should be addressed to him a": that institution. He is prepared to give valuable information, and will assist in every way possible in the plans to save potatoes. Wit! x OdaUiiTs moutitin price daily, 'very potato raved from roi vi'!
