LONDON.-.The Times has this despatch frcm its St. Pet ersburg correspondent: 'The extent of theisees dur Ing the fir*4ai we '' the war plsual ties -for -4d Not fewer th' Germans were " trenches after ent in- East ern P "gon eful September 1, whe" tussian corps came to d h grips with four German cor a north of Soldau, the loss e of both sides totalled between 40,000 and 70,000, the majority being Germans." On both the left and right wings lies are pressing forward and driving -... Germans, while in the centre west of the dangerous angle in the line at Verdun the. French are holding fast against the furio4. onslaught, of the Germans, who have concentrated a great force to pierce the French lines and split the army in two. On the ex treme right the French have pushed eastward Into upper Alsace and re occupied Muelhausen, the scene of one of their first victories and later of a great repulse. The German war machine is not moving so smoothly. Its lines of communication are threatened in Belgium. The Russians are advanc ing toward Berlin a-nd Vienna, with fresh troops continuously pouring to the frqnt of their armies, the Belgians have assumed the offen sive, and the Servians and 19onte negrins are achieving fresh vic tories. The Kaiser is threatened with the. loss of his only ally, it being pre dicted that Austria will soon sue for"@ace, while it is believed that it is now only a short time before Italy will enter the war. London.-A careful analysis of all the late dispatches from countries concerned in the great European war brings out the following saliant facts: FRANCE. - The War Office an nounces that the Germans are still retreating after heavy losses and that the British troops have crossed the Marne in a northerly direction. Gen. French reports the capture of an entira battery of German field artillery and 350) prisoners. From Paris comes the announcement that the Allies are forcing the enemy back at every point along t'he line. French forces are reported to be reoccupying Upper Alsace, the Ger mans having withdrawn *their troops there to~ re-enforce *their centre and right.- A despatch from Nancy announces that the Germans have evacuated Luneville and that German troops have been with-, s drawn from the territory eastward of Relfort. The German line, ac cording to the last reports, has. been driven back thirty-seven mniles. AUSTRIA.-According to a despatch .from Vienna, Austria was plunged into gloom when official admission was made that the operations against the Russians had cost the Austrians one-fourth of the first line .90 of effective fighting men. The total loss '1n killed, wounded- and miss ing is reported at 125,000 men. For the firs't time it became known that the operations In Galicia and Rus sian Poland had been under the' personal direction- of the Archduke - Francis Frederick. The hospitals, hotels and -public buildings of Vienna.. are filled with wounded, 'who are arriving in great numbers in special trains from Poland and Galicia. RUSSIA. -The latest development along the Russian frontier Is that, the - Austrians have begun the' evacuation of Cracow. It is also reported that Przemysl is being be sieged by a heavy Russian force. The Russians have apparently not yet succeeded in capturing Godek, near Lemberg. The hardest fight ing, according to a late report, Is on a line extending from the; Dniester River to Tomaslow. An other report says that the Russians are advancing into Silesia afid that their present movements are threat ening Breslau. TURKEY.-The Turkish Ambassador at Washington was advised by the * ~ Ottoman Government that -all 'con -ventions between the Powers and STurkey which conferred special privileges or restricted the sov ereignty of the Porte have been abrogated. BELGIUM.-A German force of 3,000 men has been reported near Ghent and large bodies of German troops are on the way from Brussels to the French frontier. The Selgiansi have recaptured Aerschot. the Bel a. gian sharpshooters, according to report. having dashed into the place and routed the German garrison. GREAT BRITAIN-Premier Asquith asked Pariament to authorize a new call for 500.000 more volun teers. The War Bureau admitted that the British cruiser Pathfinder, which was sunk off the cost of Scot Shealey and Fortner Shealey carried every county "Me . P. S.-All but nd ers on Intelli some balm to know that he county in the ft Tuesdav en yoi V land, was destroyed by a torpedo and not by a contact mine as was at first reported. GERMANY.-According to a despatch from Berlin, it is officially an nounced that the Germans who at -tacked the alUed forces between Meaux and Montmirail are in re trekt. The retreat Is attributed to the numerical superiority of the Allies. The official statement says that the 'Germans are not being pursued. SOUTH AFRICA.-Premier Botha announced that the South Arican Union promised its wholehearted support to the British Empire in the present war. London.-Emperor William's troops, though stubbornly resisting, continue to fall back before the French and British, while the Kaiser's entire scheme of campaign is threatened with disruption through the rapid ad vance of the Russians, who have started their march on 'Berlin and ape- before Breslau. General Joseph Gallieni announces tnt the German retreat is continu ing with.- heavy fighting along the centre. The German right wing army .has been forced back a score of miles from the positions it occupied before Paris. The Germans are believed to be battling to effect a retreat to Epernay, where they hope to join the German column about Rheims and restore their lines of communication. The left end of the Germans' curved battle line, which-extenoed in a seg ment of a slight circle from Meuse to Vitry-le-Francois, about 100 miles east of Paris, has been hit by the English triphammer and forced to double back. An exchange Telegraph dispatch from Rome says: "A message from Yienna states it is officially admitted there that Archduke Frederick lost 120,000 men in the Galician battles, or one-fourth of his entire command." Washington.-The taking of Maui beuge was the subject of a number of despatches from Berlin received at the German Embassy by way of the Sayville wireless station. The first said: This announcement of the fall of the Frenich fortress, which had been under fire for about two weeks, was followed by another wireless mes sage:, "All the papers (Berlin) empnasize the importance of the capture of Maubeuge. The German military lines are now free. Also the captpre of so great a number of prisoners means an important weakening of the enemy." Maubeuge was isolated when the Germans began their turning move ment Into France after the fall of Namur. The Germans swppt around and past the forts, which were con sidered too strong to take by assault, and a force was left to keep the defenders engaged. As soon as the German siege artil lery could be brought up, the heavy gun fire was concentr'ated first on one fort and then on its support. In this way the forts were demolished, ope after another. After five forts had been reduced the Germans are said to have trained their guns on the city itself. Flames then added to the -horrorp 'of the siege. The capitulation quickly fol lowed when the three remaining stronghold& were rendered almost useless by .the bombardment. The enorinously high-powered Ger man siege cannon are said to have been of such great range that they virtually could not be reached by the defenders. There was no escape in any direction. "Fighting has been in progress fur ther to the right along the line which includes Montmirail and Sompuis, neither side gaining advanEage. "Further to the right again, froms Vitry - le - Francois to Sermajze - les. Bains, the .enemy has been pressed back in the direction of Rheims. "At Luneville at attempt by the Ger mans to advance has been repulsed. "'Pressure against the enemy con tinues all along the allied fronts. The British force has been engaged all day, but the enemy opposed it, after stubborn resistance retired and is nowv crossing to the north of the Marne. "The Sixth'French army, on the Ourcq, has been heavily engaged, but htere also the enemy has been driven back. "The British torce has again sus $ained some casualties, but the num beris smg~1 in relation to the nature of the flgghting." Fighting continues all along the 150 mile battle front and the final result cannot be predicted, although every thing looks favorable for the Allied ar* mies. Each side in succession was report. ed charging desperately, with a good~ ly part of the general fighting of the hand to hand variety. The Germans were said to have been pushed by sheer weight of numbers, the British cavalry and' infantry charging en masse along a battle front of nearly twenty miles. The British were said to have encouraged the French to such an extent that their commanding of flcers had difficulty in restraining them and preventing them from attempting the Impossible. Berlin Reports Victories EVACUATED RHEIMS TAKEN BY 13 TROOPERS, WIRELESS ADVICES DECLARE. Washington.-A German account of the manner in. which the French fortress town of Rheims, In the sec ond F'rzich line of defense, was oc cupied by the Kaiser's forces was mod" n',blic hv the German Embassy. Woodmen Unveiling Hickory Camp No. 439, WV. 0. W..- will unvail a monument to ~he late Sov. Hubert Smith it Zion church cemetery, Sat 2rday evening September 19th. it 4 o'clock p. m. All neighboring camps are :ordially invited to attend and issist us in the unveiling. " iith, C. C. 'y, Clerk. i want some An oMcial disrj"tch from Berlin to the embassy v.a the Sayville wireless route says the town was taken by thirteen officers and privates under command of Capt. von Humbrchs, who made a daring .ride into Rheims, took possession of the place, and waited for the arrival of reinforce ments. Paris. - The Germans' progress seems to have been too rapid and too precipitate in its eagerness to get at the gates of Paris, for they arrived out of breath and to all appearances out of ammunition, which may explain why they did not pursue their original plan. All prisoners-appear fagged and harassed, and the spirit of the army seems to be everythtng that is differ ent from the conquerors who pushed back the army of defense from the frontier and reached the gates of the capital in ten days. London.-The British Official Press Bureau issued the following a-nnounce ment: "The-eneral position continues sat Isfactory. The allies are gaining, ground on their left all along the line of the Ourcq and the Petit }forin Rivers. The British have driven the en'emy back ten miles. Russians Capture Two Austrian Strongholds Nicolaieff and Mikolaijow, 25 - Miles South of Lemberg, Fall-Only_ Three Towns Bar Czar's Advance on Berlin. Petrograd (St. Petersburg).-The fortress of Mikolajoff (Mikolaijow or Nicolleiff), twenty miles, south of Lemberg and commanding the Aus trian State Railroad's crossing of the River Duiester, was taken by the Russians after sever' fighting. Forty heavy guns and stores - of all kinds sufficient for a year were captured. The preparations at Mikolajoff and Lemberg to hold out for a year in dicate that the Austrians intended to make a stout resistance. The capture of this fortress cleared away every Aastrian stronghold in Galicia East of Przemysl, which is now Invested by the Russians. Mikolajoff is one of' the most mod ern fortresses in Austria. Its de fenses include steel cupolas and mod-: ern guns of heavy calibre. North of Lemberg the main Aus trian army, which has been beaten back from Its invasion of Poland, is reported retreating all along the line between the Rivers Bug and Vistula. This retreat spells more than defeat -it is disaster, owing to the nature of the country through which the Austrians must make their escape. The fortresses of Przemysl and Jaroslau, on the River San, and Cracow on the Vistula River, are the Qnly obstacles the Austrians now have to prevent the Russian advance. Przemysl is a strongly fortified mill tary camp, fifty-on- miles west of Lemberg, with forty-two forts and 40,000 men, who have been reinforced by the soldiers who escaped from Lemberg and Poland. WAR NEWS TOLD IN ABLIDFORM The total losses of the- Austro-Hun garian armies operating against the Russians have already reached 125,000, klled, wounded and missing, accord ing to an announcement by the War Office in Vienna. .Austria was plunged into gloom when official admission was made that the recent operations against the Rus sians have cost the Dual Monarchy one-fourth of its first line of effective fighting men. The War Office in Petrograd de clares the Hungarian troops are refus ing to fight the Russians. It is stated that an entire battalion of Hungarian troops when sent against the Russians refused to obey their officers and fled into Russian territory, later surrender ing. The Belgian Army has resumed the offensive against the Germans, and is reported to have driven them from Aershot, Diest and Termonde. A dispatch mailed from Toronto says that 30,000 Indian troops secret ly passed through Canada on their way to France. On a request by Premier Asquith the House of Commons voted to add another half million men to the army, bringing England's prospective force up to 1,400,000 men. Berlin officially reported the surren der of the French fortress of Mau beuge wIth 40,000 prIsoners and sev eral hundred guns. An official announcement from the French War Office in Bordeaux said the German armies had been pushed back a total of twenty-five miles. -The armed merchant cruiser Ocean ic, of the White Star line, was wrecked off the north coast of Scotland and is a total loss, but all the officers and crew have been saved. England is preparing to give homes to sixty thousand Belgian refugees. India has pledged 70,000 soldiers and $5,000,000 to aid Great Britain. In adition, many native princes have offered their private fortunes, and their services in the field. British and French official state ments agree that the German right fiahk has been driven back, that fight Ing in the centre is without advantage to either side, and that the German left wIng's attack near Luneville has beein repulsed. German losses are reported to be enormous along the whole line. One wounded French officer declares that 30,000 Gerrnans have been taken pris onerts.

PURSUED PURSUE; V ICTORS FALL BACK S BATTLE OF MARNE MARVELOUS S REVERSAL OF ROLES OF CONTESTANTS. GERMANS ARE RETREATING Days Are Getting Brighter For V Allies.-No Reports of Kaiser II Army For the Past Week. Ij London.-The sixth week of the war v between Germany and France, Great e Britain and Belgium has brought a O, vast transformation. The pursued are now the pursuers. The Irrestible sweep of seven German armies through Belgium Into France met immovable resistance at the River Marne. - The army of General von Klupk, 11 which so long battled to .turn the a Allies' Western flan , was Alowly and ie steadily outflanked. SIts retirement be ]{ fore the small but hardy Britishingny turned the tide of battle. Today, if French official reports are correct, all the German armies except that facing Verdun and a few miles southwest, are- retreating. 9 General con Kluck's army, which a h week ago was a few miles southeast d of Paris, has retired more than 60 r miles to the northeast, while on the -e extreme. right the .army of the Bava rian Crown Prince,..which was attack i ing the French eastein line from Nancy to Epinal, has fallen back to the frontiers of Lorraine, permitting the French to reoccupy Luneville and several other towns. S- Sunday, September 6, was the dark est day of the war for the Allies. The II French Government emigrated from - Paris to Bordeaux In long sad pro e cession of motorcars. An attack on 3t the Capital appeared !mm'nent k.nd the main German force had hammered a huge wedge into France between - Paris and Verdun, with its center some miles south of that line. The French people trembled with * the-question whether their army was not a beaten army; whether the his - tory of 1870 will repeat itself. The battle of the Marne, which was decided ip a week, is regarded by mili . tary critics as the most marvelous re versal of roles of two armies known. In their view it appears to have decided the first phase of the war and to have made impossible the plan which the German staff is supposed- to have had of smashing the French by one colaprehensible stroke and then turning the bulk of the German forces Seastwar to confront the Russians. The military experts, however, are still cautious. While recognizing the possibility that the German armies may yet rally and draw a strong de feasive line, they recognize also the possibility of the almost complete evacua'tioa of France and Belgium Paris announces that the Germans have evacuated Amlens. The position of German reinforcements of 60,000 re ported to be marching south on three roads in that neighborhood is not known.. The Belgian army Is credited with the determination to reoccupy Brus sels and claims to have cut the rail road between Liege and Brussels, thus severing an important German line of communication. It claims to be pushing the scattered German forces, composed for the most part of reservists, toward the southeast. Military authorities in France con sider the position of the German armies critical. The army which was south of the Argonne Forest, they argue, hardly can retreat eastward owing to the danger-from the strongly held French fortress of Verdun, while the mountainous character of the Argonne district renders retreat due north impracticable. The left wing of the Germans they believe, must re treat In a northwesterly direction. They also cherish the hope that the Belgians may succeed in clearing the Germans out of Brabant, when the entire German army would be obliged to retreat on Luxenburng, an opera tion which they liken to the passing of a large stream through a narrow bottle neck. The German version of the battle of Marne is yet to be heard. The German official wireless tonight Is silent regarding the operations of the -,past week in that theater. It records a local success by the army of the Crown Prince, which, it reports, took a fortified position southwest of Ver dun, and the beginning of an attack on the forts to the south of Verdun. Paris.-The evacuation 114Amiens bthGermans previously reported In byeth dsche has been announced Allies Everywhere Move Forward. The following official statement was issued: "No report has been re ceived from general headquarters. The statements published have de picted wIth what vigor our troops are purusing the Germans in their re treat. I"It is natural that under these cir cumstances general headquarters can not send twice daily particulars con cingincidents of this pursuit. ~'march or the allied armies continues all along the front.

Columbia.-Richland County Farm ers' Union met in regular session re cently with representatives from near ly all the local unions and some visit ing members present making a good attendance. Addresses by T. W. Scruggs and E. J. Watson on the cotton situation were heard with interest. Col. Wat son described the arrangements that had been made to help the farmers to secure credit and advances on thei cotton when properly warehoused and urged the farmers to take advantage of theae arrangements and hold their cotton off the market. rhe committee on t" organization of the Richland Counfy Rural Credit Society reported progress and was continued. .The following resolutions were a4opted: -"Resolved, That we urge upon the members of the farmers' union and al other farmers not to sell any cot ton at all for at least 30 days. ."Resolved, That we hold all cotton and cotton seed until we have ex: hausted every possible source of cred it thereon." The union placed Itself on record as opposing the present low price paid by the mills for cotton seed and urges the farmers to hold their seed unless a better price is paid or a more .equitable exchange is proposed. A pound of meal for a pound of seed is considerel by the union to be just and fair. It was resolved that a committee of three, with the county president as chairman,: be appointed to visit the banks in Richland county to ascertain their attitude in reference to the ex tension of loans made to farmers and rendering them financial assistance in this crisis. The committee is com posed of C. W. Suber,hresident - of the county union;'F. H: Roberts and C. W. Thomas. Cotton Leaf Worm in Batesburg. Batesburg.-The cotton leaf worm (AlabAma agrillacea) has-appeared in tile neighborhood of Batesburg. E. A. McGregor, the representative of the United States bureau of entomology in this state for cotton pests, has receiv ed complaints of the alarming occur rence of this pest from Batesburg to Rock Hill. The last serious occur rence of the cotton caterpillar was in October of 1911. As a rule the pest does not arrive in this locality until so late that lit 'tle or no damage is occasioned by its sctivity. The present appearance at this date, however, is most alarming since the denuding of the foliage at this time will have the rievitable re .sult of curtailing the crop. Practical ly no bolls that are immature at the time of the stripping will open. The Pickens school opened Monday with about usual atten dance. Up to Tuesday afternoon :37 bales of cotton had been ginned at the oil mill ginney in Pickens and only two of them have been sold. - According to a dispatch from Charleston, involuntary pro ceedings in bankruptcy have been filed by creditors against the Maplecroft cotton mills at Liberty, Pickens county. The,,fickens cotton , milis now running on full time with a full force. The families who were recently notified to va cate their bouses have moved away and everything'is moving along smoothly. -Read the adyertisemenl in this issue of Ayers of Green ' le.
