But when it comes b to declaring prohibition and enforc - ing, the meadure, there's enough j| "light" about that "dark" country to | lay the rest cf us In the shade. How can one man, whether he he a prohibitionist', or not, read the story ' In thlB morning's Intelligencer about ., tho effect the banishment of liquor from Russia bas had already on the y peasantry of that country and not ! vote to wipe tho curse from our lead tco. From the standpoint of a pure j ' business ' proposition, it seems it | would pay ,iu the long run. LET THERE BE NO WAR Time was when a volley fired upon "Old Glory" by the soldiers of the biggest- country on the globe, to say nothing of benighted Turkey, would fr have started tho war spirit biasing in America from coast to coast and from Canada to tho Gulf. Dut having In mind the horrors of the conflict now raging in Europe, with its at tendant hard times for even this neu tral country, thero is not'a man who , will not learn with gor.ulne gratitude that President Wilson 1B determined that under no circumstances shall tho . 'United State's become Involved In war with Turkey aa the result of land for ces of the Porte dring upon a launch from the U. S. 8. Tennessee, now In Turkish waters. This morning's dls ^ : patches state that tho President lp ^confident this matter can he promptly . .> adjusted through diplomatic channels, and there ia not a man In the United V . '? 'state but sincerely trusts that lt will bo settled by this route. Already President Wilson ls credited with Keeping the United States out of war : .with one nation. It he can avert an other his name will go down in Ma lory as* the greatest defender this country has ever known. OUT OF BONDAGE. The results already are seen In tue pentan try. They are beginning to look like a different race. Marks of suffer, ing, tho pinched looks of Illness and improper nonrlshmeut .lum : gone i from tketr fara*.

But lhere is nothing remarkable about it, or at leant, about thal port inn of thc dispatch telling of the wondrous change thut has beru wrought in the lifo of lite peasantry; it. in remark able though that nation-wide prohi bition Hhould have been declared in Hussia. a land which .we have been taught to believe ls hali barbarous, wileri? the iron heel of the despot I? grinding upon Hie m-oks of a penni less peasantry continually. Mut there h nothing startling In the reference to tito effect thal prohibition has had already on the Iluuslun peasants. We do not have to go to Russia to ascer tain the truth of this. It lias been demomstrated and is being proven right Jiere in TJUT own land. One lias hut to visit die ututos where liquor hus boen rooted out by u state-wide measure to ace for himself the truth of tho dispatch from thu Russian capital. South Carolina law maker? would <!o well to remember the dispatch from KuBshi when they are confront ed willi the question vjf pussing a state-wide prohibition measure for South Carolinu. And those who aro working for eradication of tho "blind tiger." or whiskey In uny form, in Anderson should feel in the Russian dispatch cause for rcnpwal or their commend able efforts. ?OLD GLORY" WAS FIBED UPON HY LAND FORCES OF THE FORTE (Continued from Pago One.) zled over whnt had occurred. Tho president telephoned Secretury Dan iels several times during tho day and also discussed the situation with Act ing Secertory Lansing. Two sugges tions ivcro vouchsafed by high ofll clals, although they admitted their views were purely speculative. The firing, they thought, probably was a friendly act giving tho customary warning by a singlo shot signifying to tho Tennessee's launch that tho port of Smyrna was mined and clos ed, or else thc boat waa turned back because it attempted to enter with out previous arrangement with tho Turkish authorities. Officials declined to believo the fir ing was an unfriendly or hostile act. Assurances given by the porte have repeatedly1 pledged protection and the closest friendship-for American citi zens. However, when the American warships first wont to the Mediter ranean Tnrkey was at peace. Since then tho United States has taken over (ho diplomatic interests of Great Britain and France, with whom the porte is at war, a circumstance fraught with delicate responsibilities. Efforts on tho part ot some Mo tu -.imednn leader? in Turkey to Btart a "holy war" nave made Americans as ' well as British and French sub jects apprehensive. The American consul at Smyrna reported his fears' to Ambassador Morgenthau, under whose Instructions the two warships have been moviug about in Turkish water*. - Too tho Ottoman government has warned tho United .States that the port of Smyrna was mined, and the Tennessee, it is understood, has stood off at Vr.urlab, ten miles away, while her launch started for the shore to investigate conditions at thc con sulate. Regardless of whethor or not Smyrna ,1s a closed port, under thc regulations ot tho United States navy, ron? o in Docker would bc justified, in seeking to enter thc harbor to ascer tain tho facts with reference to tho American consulate and its citizens. The regulation i virtually would oblige Captain Flecker to communi cate with the American consul at Smyrna If ho had learned that tho consulate was threatened, using lils launch if necessary, regardless of whether or not the port waa closed. That Captain Docker did not per i'?Ht in his attempt to onter was indi cated by the fact thai hts message Bald he left at the request of the am bassador, who, it ts presumed herc, thought it advisablo to withdraw tho Hhip until a bettor understanding iou ld be reached. It IR believed albo that if the consulate were in grave danger the Tennessee would not have left lor CJrecian waters. One effect ol* the Incident, it is be lieved in diplomatie circles here, will bc to emphasise the porte the anx iety of the United States for the saf ly of its Hubeets in Turkey, whoi conditions have been uncertain ? for many months. Ambassador Morgen tlmu early last summer asked for a warship. Since the outbreak of vvar, some Turkish officials have thereatened to execute three English or French subjects for every Mussulman killed In bombardment by the fleet o? tho Allies on unfortified towns. Ameri cans have teared that if any such a threat w<?re carried out, on account of their similarity of speech and ap pearance, tliey might be thrown Into danger. VILLA LS MOVING .ON MEXICO CITY (Continued From First. Page.) northern Mexico and General Villa's advance guard is within 200 miles of the Mexican capital. One column of convention forces is moving eastward from San Luis Po tosi to Tampico. Another is en deavoring to cut off the forces of (ieneral Jesus Carranza at Puerto Mexico. An engagement at Julie, near I'uetro Mexico, was reported to day by American Consul Canada. General Jose "Carbajal, a Villa com mander, was killed. Whether or not ex-federal forceB under Generals Higenlo Aguilar and Argumedo, which threatcneds Puebla, are working in harmony with Gener al Villa is not known, but renewed attacks on the Carranza lines by Za patilla troops are expected. NO DECISIVE RESULT YET IN STRUGGLE OF NATIONS (Continued from Page One.) part of Chauvoncourt; which they had mined. An earlier official announce ment mentioned the fact that the French retained in their possession the western part of Cborvoncourt. It thus would seem probable that the ?French had met a .roverse at this j point, possibly wi th considerable losses. , Regarding this position the German 'official statement says: , ? "On thc west bank of the Meuse : near St. Miliiel an attack by the ! Frenen which at first was successful later broke down completely." As a result of the firing by Turk ish land forceB on' a launch from the United States cruiser Tennessee, which was proceeding from Youri ah to Smyrna. Asia Minor, the United States has directed the American am bassador at Constantinople to ask the Ottoman government for an explana tion and the commanders of the Ten nessee and North Carolina have .been instructed to take no action --11 kel y to embarrass th? American govern ment. The Washington officials ex press confidence that the matter will hs ndnsted through diplomatic chan ? neis. W{nston Spencer Churchill, first lord of the British admiralty, an nounces that the British naval losses now amount to more than 8,000 men. Valparaiso reports that tho British transport Crown of. Galicia has been sunk as tho probable result of an at tack by German cruisers. The crew has been saved and will be landed at Valparaiso. (By Associa'cd Prr**.') LONDON. Nov. 18.--Winston Spen cer Churchill, the first lord of the ad miralty, stated in the House of Com mons today, in reply to a question, that ino total British naval casualties tc dato were: Officers killed 222; wounded 37: missing ti ve. .* Mon killed 3,455; wounded 426; missing one. This list, the first lord said, did not-include the missing officers and men in tho royal naval division at Antwerp and on .tho British cruiser Good Hope. Bunk hy tho Germana off the Chilean coast, which ttaled 1.000 and 875 respectively. Kaiser Staking All. LONDON. Nov. 18.-The Post's Pet rograd correspondent says: "Emperor William is staking his all on the great battle In Poland. He has brought his finest troops from Prance, borrowed the best cavalry, the Hun garian horse, depleted his guns by moving their gunn whenever possible und now strikes for victory or death. Having based all his hopes on crush ing France, he now is similarly turn ing on Russia and this battle must de cide the fate of Germany's whole ad venture."
