HO DECISION MADE I
AT LORIS MEETING
Offers of L'oris, Aynor and
Wannamaker Not in Definite
Form
t
L.A.RGE CROWD GATHERS
rHAVE PICNIC DINNER
.blue Prints Made Showing S.x
m Sites Offered at Conway
For Baptist ErAiool.
i .
The. meeting of the committee selected
from the Waccamaw, Carolina
and /tfec Dee Baptist Associations,
on th'7* question of the location of
the Baptist Academy, met at Loris
on last Tuesday, at the Baptist
church there. The committee took
under consideration the offers made
by Conway, Loris and Wannamaker
for this academy.
The proposition made by Conway
was ably outlined by Col. D. A. Spivey
and M. A. Wright, Esqr., while
the claims of Loris were presente 1
by Prof. W. A. Prince and Mr. D.
D. Harrelson, and Wannamaker's in
terests were looked after by Messrs
A. D. Jackson and W. Chester
Hooks.
The offer of Conway was made in
writing by the Chamber of Commerce
and blue prints were filed by
the committte showing each of the
fcix different sites offered free.
Owing to the fact that there wn
fiidefinitcness in the offers of Lo is
?rd Wanramaker, as those were not
uiesented in definite form, and ow
in# to the fact that Aynor still wish
to have a hearing in the matter,
it was decided that the committee
would take no final action at the
meeting; and the three other towns
bidding for the school were asked
to make their offers in writing.
This genera] committee which met
at Lot is, selected two men from
each of the associations, and these
will compose a committee which will
confer with the general eduaction
board of the Baptist Church having
headquarters in Columbia; and the
final decision as to location will be
left to the joint committee representing
the three Baptist Associations
and representatives of the
Baptist* Education Board.
Eighty-five per cent of the total
amount to be paid is to be put up
by the Baptist Board.
An interesting and instructive talk
?,n Christian education was ma.de by
I.'r. Charles A. Jones of Columbia.
A large crowd was present and dinner
served on the grounds.

UNIONWITH RUSSIA
SEEN IN GERMANY
British War Secretary Urges
Peace With Berlin for Protcction
of Europe.
London.?The only thing that
enabled France to stand up to Germany
before the war was the might
:.-t' Russia, to which France was al
icd. But for Russia's being on her
side, France would never have been
tible to defend herself against Ger- i
many.
Even with Russia and Britain
fighting with all their strength for
three years on the side of Fiance,
the struggle still hung in the balance
and the United States was
needed.
Russia had been betrayed?and
we British should not forget how j
sorely the United States were need-1
ed to turn the balance in our favor. I
Now Russia is no longer available |
to the allied powers. She is no long !
cr the great counterpoise to Germany.
On the contrary, she is very
likely to go over to the other side,
very likely to fall into the hands of
the Germans and to make common
cause with them.
Want a Stable Government.
Great Britain's interest has been
lo try to secure a government in I
Russia which will not throw itself!
into the hands of Germany. That is
what we British have been trying to
do. It is all in British interest not
to drive Germany into the arms of
Russia.
The Ebert government in Germany
has been a government of j
moderate views, which has been trying
to keep the country's head above
water and to find work and food for
the people.
Either a military conspiracy (such
as has just attempted to overthrow
the Republican government,) or a
Spartacist government would make
p close partnership with Loin. Tins
is a very great and imminent danger
to the allies. We British ought
to do all we can to help the Ebert
government, provided, of course,
they make genuine efforts to carry
out their obligations.
When you are fighting a man,
fight him with all your might. When
^you have beaten him, when he has
acknowledged defeat, stop fighting
him.

SAYS AMERICA
OFFERS NO HELP
Requests Allies to Protect Armenia,
Without Offering to
Assume Responsibility.
London.?Premier Lloyd Goory; *
declared in the House of Commt iv
that the proposal to ou t the Su tin
had been rejected as inadequate b cause
it left the ""question of the irovernmcnt
of Const: nl inop'e undee'de :
oral the allies were anxious to r.vo d
me expanse anil responsibility of t'm
administration of Constantinople.
"Up to the present we have only
received requests f.om America to
piotect Armenia, without any offei
to assume responsibility," Mr. Lloyd
George said. "We hope France will
undertake the responsibility, but it
is much to ask, considering all the
burdens France already has.'
Impossible for England
The premier contended that it was
quite impossible for England to
send armies to keep order in Armenia
and Asia Minor. England would
do her utmost to exert pressure in
Contantinople to secure good treatment
for Christians, he asserted
hut was unable to accept a wider responsibility.
The Americans are an exceptionally
intelligent people and must begin
to depend on themselves for the
piotection of their intcrescts, Mr
Lloyd George said? adding that he
understood they could easily rais'
an army of 40,000 men, Greai
L'ritain would be willing to supplj
equipment and officers for thei<
training. If that were done thej
c< ulcl defend themselves agains
the Turks, the premier declared:

"If Germany would perform lie
part of the treaty by volunteering t<
state what amount of reparation sir
is able to pay and if she can provj
the impossibility of paying unlcs

believe cither Belgium or .France
will stand in the way of her obtain
ing the necessary credits. But t' er
must be a definite indication thai
she intends to discharge her l'abili

Bliss Denies Statement of
Sims?General Vs.
Admiral.
Washington?The controversy start
cd by Rear Admiral Sims' criticism
of the navy department's conduct of
its war activities was broadened by
'he entry of the war department to
deny some of the admiral's statements
regarding the land forces.
Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, American
\ cpresentative in the supreme war
council, not only denied categorically
that he had recommended the brigading'
of United States troops with
foreign armies as testified by Ad
Tniral Sims, but declared "the truth
is exactly the reverse."
General Bliss made his denial in a
letter to Secretary Baker, who tians
mitted it, together with a copy of
the original order assigning GeneraF
Pershing to command the forces
overseas, to Secretary Daniels and he
in turn sent both on to Chairman
Hale of the senate naval subcommittee
at the same time making all the
correspondence public.
"Truth Exactly Reverse."
"Not only at no time did I make
any recommendation for the brigadng
of American troops with the
British army, General Bliss said,
"but the truth is exactly the reverse.
The only time that I ever came in
contact with Admiral Sims in Europe
was while I was in London with
the American mission (the socalled
House mission) between the 8th and
?2nd of November, 1017. During
I that entire time the idea of brigading
or amalgamating American
I troop with foreign aimies had not
i as far as I knew, entered the hea l
I of any one, nor did I ever make such
!,i suggestion, much less a recommcn
