'The rule of William first Gov.

was not greatlly different from that

The popple outgrew that fear when

and unexpected as was the <out break
when it came., statesmen of .all count)ies
could say they had p rod! c ted it.
While always the advocate *of German
domination ;and of the rule of
might, the young Emperor sought in
the early years of his reign to in^
gratiatc himself with otlwir Govcrn'
ments. He made frequent visits to
% foreign courts, where his affability
f and bearing won for him generous,
and cordial reception. In his early
years also, while expressing abhorr
rence of social democracy, he shewed
himself sufficiently adroit in politics
to placate the Socialist following
by promising the speedy redress
v of-grievance, which he never intend
ed to appease. He would bo all
things to all men so long as ho wa.;
recognized as supreme.
On Juno 25, 1014, the Emperor, in
his honorary capacity as a British
Admiral, commanded for an hour a
British squadron at Kiel. He was
it. . f . i i
men posing as i.ne greatest peacemaker
of the world. Within a month
he was speeding back to the same
port in response to rumblings of the
^ storm that was to engulf the world
in war. Upon the arrival of his yacht
a special train carried him to Berlin
where he presided over a meeting of
his War Cabinet on July 30. Instantly
following the cabinet metting a
/A wire censorship was ordered in Berlin,
and the rumor spread that the
military forces of the empire were at
once to be mobilized.
From the window of the palace th :

Huge barrels of lemonade served to
I the American troops during the battle
of Chateau-Thierry furnished only
one instance of the service being
rendered to the soldiers of Uncle Sam
and bis allies by the Salvation Army
workers now detailed with the fighting
units on the western front.
The troops had been hammering
at thf\ Roche all duy and all night
and many of them had been put out
I of action during the terrific lighting,
but although suffering from wounds
made by shrapnel, rifle bullets and
hand grenades, most of the injured
men were conscious and many of
them ablo to get about with the aid
of improvised crutches. The surgeons
v/ere busy in the dressing stations
and tlie waiting soldiers wanted nothj
ing so much as a good drink of
something cold and refreshing.
Then it was that the Salvation Army
workers came along with several
barrels filled with sure enough lemonade.
Where they got the lemons
or the sugar nobody knows, but the
soldiers asked no questions as they
| (love for the tir. cups that were piled
alongside the barrels on a huge truck.
The surgeons said afterward that
the lemonade served to keep down
the temperature of many a lad whoso
wounds could not be dressed until
the mohl serious cases had been at
tended to. And what that cupful of
'good old Yankee drink meant te
! tftose boys who had just come out of

FOR CANNED GOODSj

'Otflunlbifu??& ready marked tfia?1
developed in South Carolina for
All liome*canued fruits and vegetable?
that will be put up during the com*
:lng canning season in excess of domestic
needs. This announcement has
been made by the Conservation and
Production (Division of the Food Administration,
which has been working
on the ;problem of marketing of
home-canned products for the past
two months. A number of the leading
wholesale grocers and jobbers of
the State have not only expressed
! their willingness to buy home-canned
i fruits and vegetables properly pre|
pared for commercial use. hut will
! ...
i Hive tne nome-canned product the
preference over Maryland and Virginia
packed goods.
The Pood Administration has on
file the requirements of several large
.concerns and has been asked to find
the canned products to supply their
meeds. Thousands of cans of fruitn
and vegetables can be readily sold,
but the packers will be required, as a
matter of course, to conform to certain
trade rules.
In the first place, the price must be
iin conformity with that for which
Maryland and Virginia packed goods
can be bought.
Canned products should not be offered
for the wholesale trade except
in large lots. It is suggested that
farmers and others who desire to put
upfruits -and vegetables for the market
form marketing agencies, in order that
their product may be handled in largos
lots to a greater advantage.
The grades must be uniform and
certain standards maintained. The
canned product must of course be pyt
up in uniform cases, and the can? uniformly
labelled.
Contracts for fall deliveries should
be made now or in the very near
future.
Canning clnba, community clubs or
marketing agencies with large quantities
of canned, fruits and vegetables
to offer for sale should write the Food
Administration, Conservation and Production
Division, at Columbia, stating
what they have to offer at the present
time or what they will have to deliver
in me rail, slating tho price desired
and all information.
The Food Administration will mak?
no purchaser, or sales, but it may servp
us a connecting link to bring the packers
and the dealers together.
As has already been announced,
there will be plenty of cans and jars
available for home cantiers during tho
coming season. Communities that are
not supplied should report to the Food
Administration at Columbia, and merchants
will be put in touch with
sources of supply upon request. Attractive
stock labels can be bought
at a very low price.
Packers of fruits and vegetables
should remember that they cannot expect
to receive the retail price for
their products if sold at whole salo.
and those who have only job lots to
offer should seek a market in their
home communities. The wholesaler
and the jobber- cannot handle job
lots.
Any Information which may ho desired
by any interested person or canning
club will be furnished by the
Conservation and Production Division
of the Food Administration, Columbia, j

OF RECONSTRUCTION
Washington.?President Wilson has
under consideration the appointment
of a reconstruction commission to develop
a comprehensive program for
the nation's conversion from a war to
a peace basis. The commission would
be advisory rather than executive in
function's and the plans developed an
coordinated by it would be carried out
by existing- government departments
and agencies.
As now considered the commission
would be representative of commercial,
industrial, labor, agricultural
and social interest; its membership
would be small and it would deal
with all phases of the groat problem
of easing the country from a war to
peace. '

Speculation in Army as to
What Will Be Done
With It
With the American arntiea ion the
Mouse and Moselle, Tuesday,?The
relaxation of hostilities resolved 'jtseil j
into speouhrtion among officers ;an 1
men as to several questions. i
They asked". "What will become of
the army now ? What part will Am-1
ericans take as ;an army occupation ?
|When will we start for home?"
Along the front there was an ab-'
I sence of Germans. Hundreds came to
the American lines one afternoon frs
exchange greetings, but according to
reports most of them have started fov
home. American troops, therefore.1
made themselves comfortable along
the front linos and discussed the fu-'
i ture.
I Nothing official as to further move
I ments had ben received. Action wili |
I depend upon the decision of the A!
, lies, and the Americans are awaiting'
directions from Marshal Fcch. Hcth .
: the first and second armies rre await - 1
j ing the word to carry out orders.
All detachments in every br ,ivjn (
of the service arc being kept up t
I war time efficiency against the ordct
j to move forward as part of the anvj '
| of occupation. When ordeis arrive]
the Americans will be prepared !
; fill the bill in every particular.
First army headquarters work went
j on as usual. Gangs of men won
erecting portable buildings according
to plans laid weeks ago. Scores of (
barracks were circled recently for'
housing American troops and German
prisoners. Along the roadways rig.
j nal corps men have strung wires on
new poles, but today instead of trucks

loaded with great shell cases and cart
ridges there was moving a continuou- !
train of vehicles carrying food, wood,
and clothing.
The Americans figure they have!
enough ammunition at the front to |
last for weeks even if the armistice 1
does not continue. The famous Ver?,
dun roadway, over which automobiles
hauled ammunition and material for j
years and by which Verdun, was save 5
from the Germans, was buzzing with I

Columbia.?The sugar allowance of
the American people has been increased
by one-half.
The allowance of two pounds per
person per month, to which we have
been limited, is now increased to three
pounds per person per month.
This increase was announced by the
'Food Administration to become effective
November 1.
The same proportionate increass
applies to public eating places. Two
pounds to each 90 zne^ls served has ]
been the allowance. The allowance
tm Aow threk pounds to ear h90 meals.
This makes good the promise of the
Food Administration to increase the
household allowance of sugar at the
earliest possible moment that the supply
would Justify it. and makes it possible
for the householder to more freely
use cereals, apple, cranberry and
grape fruit products and the use of
fruits esujned without sugar during
the past summer
In additon. it is announced at the]
same time that, instead of the necessity
of buying sugar twice a month, n
whole month's supply of sugar tuny
be purchased at one time, and retail
dealers are notified to sell sugar in
euch quantities.
It is announced simultaneously by
the Food Administration that, the t anning
season having closed for this
year. no more home oannors cernn-|
cates will be issued, and no more
sugar will be sold in 2f? pounds lots
for canning and preserving.
EATING AT A COMMON

Columbia.-?Tho Food Administration
appeals three times daily to the
individual responsibility of the people
of South Carolina to continue the
greatest responsibility of the people of
South Carolina to continue the greatest
voluntary effort at food saving
over niade by a nation.
We must send the Allies and our
own forces overseas 5ft per cent moro
fod dn. ag the coming year than we !
have sent them during the past twelve
months.
Iyoval Americans are eating at a
ocmmon table with 120,000.000 Allied
peoples.
Survey of the food resources o? all
the peoples fighting against Germany
I shows that to maintain supplies and
necessary reserves to guard against
disaster there must be conservation

j the coming year.
j Tt is agreed that the wheat bread of
the Allies shall contain 20 per cent

NEW HOME CARD COMING
THE FIRST OF DECEMBER
Columbia.?Distribution of the new;
Home Card, which t.lie Food Administration
will put iuto 20,000,000 American
kitchens, has been postponed on
account of the epidemic of Spanish in-1
fluenza, and the Home Card will not
make its appearance until December 1.1
The original plan contemplated tha
opening of the Home Card campaign
on October 27.
The new conservation plan, fully set
forth on the new Home Card, is considered
vital by the Food Administration.
It will outline the conservation
program to which the American people
will be pledged probably for the r<v
mninder of the war and possibly for
a period after peace has been declared,
clared.
The Food Administration will male*
no effort to reduplciate the pledges of
more than 12,000.000 American housewives
who last year signified their
willingness to oo-operate in the conservation
of food. Tt iaexpectod that
the housewife will hang the new Home
Card at a convenient place in her
kitchen and operate her home according
to the program to help supply the
sinews of war to the Allies and the
American armed forces, as she haa
done heretofore.

GERMANS OWE DEBT.
Paris.?Germany's debt to Franee
is estimated :it H40.000.000.000
by The Matin in an editorial. The
newspaper apportions the debt as
follows: Return of the indemnity of
1871. with interest, (50,000.000,000
francs; expenses in the present war,
140,000 000.000 francs; pensions, 40,000,000
francs, and reparation for
damages, 100,000,000,000 francs.
The Matin declares France must
secure acknowledgement of the debt
before examining the way in which
it is to be paid. France wants no
indemnity profit but all Frenchmen,
want lawful reparation.
Germany and Austria, it adds,
should return to the allies a minimum
of 7,000,000 tons of shipping
