Frightful Conditions Among

500,000 MUST EE FED
FOR ANOTHER YEAR
Moving Report Sent to Hoover
by the American Com
nussioner.
Constantinople. ? Starvation and
misery prevail among Armenian refugees
in the Caucasus region, according
to a telegram sent to Herbert
Hoover in Paris by Howard
Heinz, American food commissioner,
for the Near East, who is in this
city.
Mr. Heinz has returned from a
trip of inspection in the Caucasus.
Mi. Heinz says reports that some
o the refugees, driven frantic by
hunger and suffering, have resorted
to cannibalism, are true in his opinion.
He adds that food for 500,000
in that territory will have to be provided
by outside sources for another
year. '
"The lack of food is so serious,"
says the telegram, "that the women ;
an forced to go into the fields and i
obtain grass roots which they cook
into a kind of broth and serve as
boiled greens, occasionally getting a
bit of rice to mix with it. This constitutes
the principal diet of many.
The little children, naturally, get ^
the worst of this situation, because
they cannot eat such material and it
* J is among the children that the death
rate is the highest.
"It is difficult to make comparisons
as to the degree of destitution ana
distress in different districts of
towns, hut I think the worst situation
that came to my knowledge was
in Igdir, where there is a larger
proportion of sickness and a higher
death rate than in either Erivan or
Alex and ropol.
"Regarding reports of cannibalism
which have come out of this district
from Coa, I have- been forced against
my will to believe these reports to be
tine. I saw with my own eyes mutilated
remains of corpses which have
been exhumed from newly made
graves. I did not see anybody who
had actually witnessed the eating of
human flesh, but there is so much
circumstantial evidence of this th.it
1 personally came to believe it true."
o
Those Lost Letters.
"Did you mail my letters?"
"l'i* sorry," replied the absentminded
husband. ' 'I forgot all
about it."
"Well don't take it to heart. The
post-office would probably have done
the same thing."?Washington Star.

SOLDIER WRITES US !
FROM FAR-OFF FRANCE!
Dear Editor Horry Herald: t
Will you please publish in your pa- ^
per the following items from a
soldier of the A. E. F., overseas. On
June 24, 1918 I reported to the Local c
Board of Horry County for service
in the TTnitod States Armv. I snent
the night in Conway and took the 1
early train June 25th for Camp j
Jackson, arriving at Camp Jackson
about 3 o'clock in the afternoon and j
enjoyed the trip fine. There I re- I
mained until the 16th of August, '
then I left Camp Jackson and on
August 18 1 arrived at Camp Stew- '
art, Newport News Va., and re- I*
mained there until August 22nd. I |
then stepped aboard the ship''that!
took me over here. I was on the' *
water for 13 days, landing in France!*
|*
Sent. 3rd, and I enjoyed the trip all
the way over. There were lots of ^
soldier boys on board with me and 1
tnere were several other boats in r
the convoy containing soldiers. 1
landed at Brest and there we pitched N
tents and remained there until the^
10th of September, then pulled ou^j!
for Camp Hand, arriving there on
Sept. 12th, and on the 16th I went *
to the Hospital antl remained in the '
Hospital until Oct. 9th, then I went (
hack to my battery and on Oct. 12th ^
I was on another go which was leading
to the front, over in No ManV.
Land and if I make no mistake it
was on the 20th when I got with the
outfit which was out to the Ash Line.
I remained there until the 29th, then
JI went up to the guns which are onK
[6 in. What I mean by 6 inches is
that they carry a shell 6 inches in
diameter, weighing bout 95 or 100
pounds and fires about 30 times to
the minute and -1 pieces to the bat- (
tery, so you can tell about what one!
battery can do in one minute. 120
rounds per minute, 7200 rounds per j
hour for one battery. So you know
during 12 hours the Huns have re-j
co'ved lots of shrapnel and gas of all
kinds. I was not surprised at them
when they decided to give up the
Ghost and quit the race for it was
the wisest thought that ever pene-1
trated a German's brain. I guess
that they think Uncle Sammy's "tinI

the Yanks to put the finishing touch j
t > Germany, which they did very I
soon after landing over here. They
have gained freedom for the whole
world so I consider if it had not been
for the Yanks things would have
; been by now in a most horrible coni
dition, but its woe unto Germany
, the rcmainedr of her time. Well get<
ting back to my story again. Just;
; a Pf w days after the armistice I went j
back to the Ash Line' and there re-1
; mained until Nov. 30, then the bal
I tery started out on a hike on the
, j night of the 30th. We reachc I
' Thierccourt and stayed over thciv
; the next day which was Dec. 1st, and
on the 2nd we continued the march
which lasted for 5 more days and

I.1MR CONFERENCE
MA K ES RECOMMENDATION
The Lime Conference at Knoxville,
Tenn., on April 29th, and 30th., at
which representatives from the
North Carolina, Virginia, South Carolina,
Kentucky, Georgia, and Tennessee
Experiment Stations and
from several commercial concerns
were present made recommendations
of interest and value to farmers in
Southeastern States. The resolutions
adopted are shown below:
Lime Needs of The Southern States.
The agreement is unanimous that
tso soils of the Southtastem States
are seriously deficient in lime, so
that liming is essential to their most
profitable development and permanent
improvement.
Fineness of Grinding.
The finer tht limestone is ground,
the greater is its immediate availability.
Limestone ground to pass
through a ten mesh screen, all finer
particles included, is recommended
for the common application of two
| tons per acre. Either very finely
I pulverized limestone or burnt lime is
recommended, where on application
of only a few hundred pounds per
; acre is to be made.
Time of Application, Distributing
and Mixing With the Soil.
Lime may safely be used at any
point in the ordinary farm rotation
The Itching and St
of Blaz
Seems Like the Skin Is on Fire.
There is a harrassing discomfort
caused by Eczema that almost becomes
a torture. The itching is almost
unbearable, and the skin seems
on fire with the burning irritation.
A cure from local applications of
salves and ointments is impossible,
because such treatment can only allay
the pain temporarily. The disease
can only be reached by gt>ing deep
down to its source.
The source of Eczema is in the

likely to he in proportion to the thor
oughness with which it is mixed with
the soil in which the crop roots develop.

"With soils poor in potash and

only when upplemented by materials
carrying these constituents."
