DECISIVE BATTLE NEEDED The war does not convey the idea of the immediate restoration of peaee not until after there has been some decisive battle- K?V?IIK to one Ride or thc other a complete mastery of the situ ation. True, the German army failed in its attempt to rush like an ava lanche upon i'nrls, because its plans were frustrated in the initial move by thc brilliant fighting and ?killed tad- s of the BclgiatiB. Hut tho German army ls merely frustrated, not defeated. The issues involved in this great battle seem to require a decisive battle. The Ger man army ls a magnificent organiza tions, is determined and is brave. Up on its own territory the German army may present an entirely different kind of fightiiiK from thal which it bus shown on the offensive in the ap proach to I'aris. The battle toward which the tremendous armies are con verging may therefore be thc most re markable and the most momentous In tho whole history of the world. It ls now likely that the Germans ultimately will suffer defeat, nnd those who knew the real heart and soul of the German people will re gret that a mad emperor has rushed into a war of such bloody consequen ces, of such sorrow laden conflicts. 'Hie great issue to be settled In this war >et may be not which nation shall be considered superior, but what shall be the fate of the dynasties? Is this war the making of tho peo ple? Will the powerB which may tri umph be as cruel in their demands and exactions as were the instigators of a war WIIOBO sole purpose Beems to have been covetousness and the seeking of territorial accessions? A more cessation of the lighting, withou*. the settlement of the various vital questions Involved and that have been brought about since the begin ning of this collosal war would Mot mean lasting peace. A truce for thc replenishment of arms, for the re cruiting of fainting battalions, wouk only mean a prolongation of a strug gle which ls dealing death and Borrow j as generously as the sower casts his grain. What the world needs I.? a deep and abiding peace. A peace that will spread contentment all over Europe and assure ?ach nation or each repub lic that there is Ao effort being made to deprive lt If tts logical and absolute standing among the other govern ments of the world. It may be that no arbitration ex cept that of tho viyonet will bring these stiff-neck d n tlons lo an ap preciation of h . oort'?nee and thc vasi futurity .<tuses at issue. The realization that tbs rights of .the people rather than tue privileges and pride of the crown are inevitably In volved in this truggle will be the only thing to cause a satisfactory termina tion of the war.' The serried hosts aro raanouevcring for position. The embattled legions aro taking their stand. Myriads of arms are tented upon walting fields, and it may be but a few days before there will bo s'ruck a blow whose force and effect will be such that the world will realise that mastery perches upon the banners ot one or the other of the contending armies, and then and only then, will come a peace without suspicion, a pjeace without such reprisals that lt may not be caliea peace. May the day be speeded so that the happiness of millions of Innocent peo ple may nt longer be In the hollow of tho hand of a few mad rulers, and then Indeed will the United States, the first successful republic, be hailed ss the model for many governments. Then will our commerce, our plan of government and our Individuality be come the greatest and brightest thing In all the history of nations and the South will be the section that will come Into the prosperity nnd promi nence and power that long has been her due, It appears that ?: were better for all of the world for this war to ba fought to a conclusion, and that right speed ily, rather than to have truce? and armistices which will drag over months, tying up commerce, littering tho fields with the bodies of starving and pestilence stricken soldiers of m itiy nations and finally eventuating in perhaps a much more difficult aneri i TBE LESSON OF HAGGING I ?FE. James R Haggln, who died last week, became in his life time the owner of the greatest race horses In j tb? world. To name Salvator, Long street and Hamburg alone ls to couple his name with Oie smartest pages In the history of the turf. The romantic career of this man points to but one lesson. He lived to be something "ke S5 years old, and was not a happy man, although he had achieved success in numerous ways-as the world looks upon success. His father waa a Ken tuckian, his mother a christianised Turk, whose family name was Ben AU. I Their Bon, James Hen AH Haggin, went to California in J^t9 when the Kohl fever swept thia country. He made the foundation of hi? fortune practicing law for the miners. in association with Marcus Daly and Senator Hearst, father of william fl., Haggin became an owner of the Ana conda minc, and his interest Hold af terwards for $9,000,000. Mr. Haggin became the owner of minea fron. Alaska to Chile, and all turned out well. He then yielded to the appeal of the soil, an appeal which, ? (mies to every man during his lifetime, ?nil acquired a ranch which was UH large as the stute of Rhode Island. It was Haggin who established the rigid of Irrigation and made the Joaquin Valley the eden that lt ?3. Haggin raised the largest crop of hop* In the world and the largest flock of sheep in America and then turned his eyes to his native Blue G russ Btate. He purchased 10.000 acres and became the. largest land owner in the stato of Kentucky, and owned three times as many ruce horscB as any other man. Many fnmous race horses have passed through his pad dock gates. I Haggin was Bomewhat of a moralist. Ho said on one occasion, "Raising horses in a fascinating occupation. It fosters the worst habit of the Ameri can people I mean the habit of gamb ling, which begins in the majority of racetrack tip*." "Tho worst habit of the Americas people" has been given Its last cbroce In South Carolina. If Haggin, the owner of Salvator, thought it was bad what muat be the kind of race meets that have been held in this state by promoters of a sport outlawed in other states? The one Ie?son that his life points out is that he gave up breeding horses and converted his Kentucky estate into a tobacco farm. "A man can't af ford," Bald he, "to be bossed by his business." That is a "Tat truth from his lips of a man wno has had big ideas, bad achieved big things. He realized that '.he pleasures of life arc empty, unless they be sane and sanely indulged in. (JET RID OF YOUR PERTS If there were no debts there would be no problems, war or no war. It is debt and the lack of means wherewith to meet the obligations that embarasses the South today. Unless debts be paid, credit will suffer. Tho credit of the South has been good and the South ha - not fail ed to accept credit, Thc Ns nt advice that we can offer ls for ?vety person to commence pay ing .trills. How can future credit be obtained without a basis, a record of promptness and ?pliability? To d'": charge debts now ls ?o establish a '.nu ls for future credits. Stagnation Is what burt?. The as sets arc here, the credit has been en joyed. Let every man who can do so, begin to discharge his obligations, for upon his obligation are pledged the faith and credit of others, and so on in an endless chain. When you get a little money, put it in tho bank and check it out if nec essary, but keep lt circulating. Thc banks do not object to being annoyed with small accounts and small checks. What they need 1B to have the money circulating so that it may show on their books and strengthen the city's reputation and basis for credit. FUNERAL SERVICES TODAY The funeral services over the body' of Laurens the infant son ot Bte, and Mrs. I* C. Brown of Columbia, will be held this afternoon from the resi dence, of Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Brown at 426 E. Orr street at 2.30. Sorrow ing friends extend their sympathy to the bereaved parents of tfie bright little bc y that has been taken from them. ENJOYABLE SMASH CP While going In opposite directions on bicycles yesterday two sons of Ham collided with each other, and the serious part of the collidion was that each was carrying a watermelon, the melons getting the worst end of the fall, being bursted open and scattered over the road.

RETREOT OF GERMANS ENDS IN PREPARATION (Continued from Page One.) held their positions, until the retire ment ot the right compelled them co fall back, doubtless have been stif fened, despite thc fact thai many of ? the troops have been sent to the eas tern frontier. Neither side has attempted to esti mate UP losses in killel'., wounded or j captured during the be ttie of Marne, i but they must have been enormous, I and doubtless will be a blow to all the countries concerned when they are dis dosed Mary, German prisoner? have fallen iuio the hands of the British and so great a number of prisoners and strag glers have been taken by the French that tho minister of war refuses to make an estimate, for fear of being accused of exaggeration. Tho losses in captured all can stand, but it ls the number in wounded and dead that aro scattered all along the held from Marne to Aisne that lt is feared will be ni..?gering. Firemen from Paris have been sent tc carry out sanitary measures on the battlefield and motorcars with doc tor.* have left London and Parla In seat ch for any wounded that might hav*? been overlooked by the army am bulance corps. It is known that ma ny wounded are being cared for by peasants in their cottages. They will be taken to the hospitals. Los s ns in Galicia and Poland, where fighting has been going on incessantly for more than three weeks, are even greater than those in France and, ac cording to the olllclal reports, the Russians still are following the Aus trian and German forces in the hope of striking another blow before they can reform. The report from Petrograd says the Russians hare severed communication between Cracow and Przemysl, the two fortresses for which the Austrians and their German allies are heading and ha/"c ?jcgna ari advance to ssv?r com-* rnunicatton? between Galicia sad Bud apest. The op In lon i 3 held that the Germans plan some bold stroke against Rennen kampf before the troops which novo been engaged in Galicia can reach him. It ls pointed out that lt would be a bold stroke indeed, for the Germans to attack thu Rusian forte on the fron- > Uer on invade a country that within a few weeks would be a marsh and la ter a snow covered wilderness. i no Servians and the Montenegrins continue their advance into Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Servians, lt is said, have advanced 25 miles beyond Semlin. so that in this event, lt le evi dent little opposition is being offered them. With. all this fighting on land the navy has not been idle. It ls learned that the Oeraaan cruiser. Hela, which yesterday waa reported from Berlin to hare been sunk, was attacked six miles from Helgoland by a British submarine, command ed. by Lieut. Com mander Max. K. Horton. The subma rine haa returned to her base In safety. Whether she was accompanied by other submarines has not been dis closed la the admiralty report, but as these reseals usually travel tn squadrons accompanied by a cruiser, lt is probable that the the vessel which torpedoed the Hela, waa not laione. COMPLAINT 18 BKFOUK WILSON (Continued From First Page.) lon of mankind, the final arbiter in ruch matters, will supply. It would be unwise, lt would be premature for a single government, however, fortu nately separated from the present struggle and it would be inconsistent with the neutrul position of any na tion, whleii like this line no part in tho contest, to form or express a final Judgment.

"You are most welcome and wc are greatly honored tba? you should have chosen us as the friends before whom you could lay any matter of vital im portance to yourselves, in the confi dence that your cause would be un derstood and met In the same spirit lu which it was conceived and intend ed." The text of the statement of the Belgian high commission, presented to President Wilson today hy Mr. Car ton de Wlart. was aa follows: "Excellency: "His Majesty, the King of the Bel gians has charged us with a special mission to the President of the Uni ted States. "Ever since her Independence was first established, Belgium lins been de clared neutral in perpetuity. The neu trality, guaranteed by the powers, has recently been violated by one of them. Had we consented to abandon our neutrality for the benefit of one of the belligerents'- we would have be trn>ed our obligations toward the other? and it waa the sense of our in I ternational obligations, us well as that ,of our dignity and honor that baa 'driven us to reslstence. . "The consequences suffered by the P lgian nation were not confined to fie harm occasioned by the forced march on an invading army. This ar my not only seized a great portion of tbe territory but It committed incred ible violence the nature of which is contrary to the rights of mankind. "Peaceful inhabitants were massa cred, defenseless women and children were outraged, open and undefended towns wore destroyed, historical and religious monuments were reduced to dust and the famous library of the University of Louvain was given to the flames. "Our government has appointed e Judicial commission to make an of ficial investigation, so as to thorough ly and impartially examine the facts and to determine the responsibility thereof and I will have the honor. Ex cellency, to hand over to you the pro ceedings of the inquiry. "In this frightful holocaust which ls sweeping all over Europe, the Uni ted States has adopted a neutral atti tude. "And it ls for this reason that your country, standing apart from either one o? tb? belligerents, is In the best position to judge without bias, and partiality thc condition* under which tho war is being waged. "It was the request, even to the in itiative of the United States, that all Civilized nations have formulated and adopted ot The Hague a law regulating the rights and usages of war. "We refuse to believe that the war has abolished the family of Civilized powers or the regulations to which they have freely consented. "Thc American people have always displayed, their respect for justice, its .search for progress and an instinctive atachment for the laws of humanity. Therefore. lt has won a moral in fluence that is recognised b>- the en tire world. It is for this reason that Belgium, bound as it is to you by ties . of commerce and increasing friendship turns to the American people at this time to Jet them know the real truth of the present situation. "Resolved to continue its unflinch ing defense of its sovereignty and In dependence, it deem.- it a duty to bring to the attention ot the civilized world the Innumerable ?rave breach es of the right of mankind, of which she has been a victim. "At the very moment we were leav ing Belgium, the King recalled to us his trip to the United States and the vivid and strong impression your pow erful and virile civilization left upon his mind. "Our faith in your fairness, our con fidence in your justice, in your spirit of generosity and sympathy, all these dictated our present mission."
