The death of Senator l^ouls Appelt.
of Clarendon county, was a shock to
his many friends In Sumter. Only a
few days before the news of his Ill?
ness wss received he was In the city
en business snd wits apparently In
the enjoyment of his usual health.
He was a frequent visitor to Sumter
and was well known and bad many
friends here, who sincerely deplore his
untimely death In the full vigor of
mature manhood

A start has been msde to enforce
the law against the sale of liquor In
Charleston and the promise has been
made tbst the good work will con?
tinue. It Is too much to expect that
a clean sweep of blind tigers and
gambling Joints can be made In a few
weeks. In s town where public, senti?
ment has heretofore been largely on
the side of the blind tigers, but the
evidences of a change of public opin?
ion In favor of law enforcement are
encouraging. The law can be enforc
ed In Charleston and elsewhere If a
majority of the people demand It and
mske known their wishes to the otfl
ctsls whose duty it Is to do it. Of?
fice-holdem seldom go counter to an
aroused public sentiment and we be?
lieve that the leaven of law enforce?
ment is working In Charleston,

The pro-Oerman press In the Cnlted
States Is working with might and
main to prejudice all foreign-born
residents against (hs administration
and to creve bitterness between the [
real Americans a:,d those ether clu- I
sens who** strongest ??ymtmthles. are
with the e unT) of their birth and
who care nothing what may befall this
country In the future. These agitators
may profit largely by maligning the
administration and Inciting In the
minds of their followers a feeling of
bstred toward the American govern?
ment snd bitterness against the Amer?
ican people?those who established
this government and made this coun?
try a haven of refuge for these vet)
people who found their native land so
intolerable that they expatriated
themselves to becomes Americans, in
name, if not in spirit, but the ultimate
tesult of this subsidized campaign of
vituperation cannot fall to be damag?
ing to both '.he real Americans and
i he hyphenixed v ariety. The reitera?
ted threat of the hyphenlzed Aineri
cane to take the Issue to the ballot
box and wage the next I'rcsdontnl
SjSjSnpalicn on the question of |oyalt\
\merlca and real American prin?
ciples or allegiance to t t'orcigu mou
arch. who claims to rule by divine
right over his subjects beyond the
seas as well as over those within the
nsrrow r outines of his ow n dominions,
Is a menace to this country and to the
peace and safet\ of its people. Some
of th?*tr uMcranees ?ppioach so near
the borderland of tre.son and sedition
thst nn*? Is forced to the conclusion
that the agitators are both reckless
and desperate It is time for Ameri?
cans who care notntng for the success
or failure <?f the sc|(lsh and ruthless
ambitions of foreign rulers, but are
truly loyal to America and American
nstltutions. to seriously consider how
best tit meet and suppress those who
would use I.ut not serve the country
that harbors them, and has raised
them above the condition of serfs of
a military autocracy.

The butchering of the Christians
In Armenia by the Kurds and Turkish
regulars Is horrible, of course, but
It should riot cause surprise ?Its a
habit the Kurds and Turks have. As
a matter of fact the massacre in
Armenia Is no worse than the atroci?
ties asifftbuled to the Germans at
Ijouvalne and other parts of Itelgium
and to the Russians in Kast Prussia.
The world is full of blood-thirsty
savage* in this \?av of ?i ice .ind the
Turk. ?ho lights under the crescent
and bows down to Mohamet. Is neither
worse nor better than the European
Who calls himseir a Christian, who
butchers and ravages under the sign

The Kaiser is rushing from the
Kastern battle free* to the Western 10
personally direct the German drive
against the allies, with Calais as ins
objective. This movement appears
to be a supreme, desperat and dual
effort to check the forward offensive
movement of tho allies ami shatter
Kitchener s army before it gathers
momentum in its drive across Bel?
gium toward the Khine. The success
of this last offensive campaign of the
Hermans would be a terrific Idow |o
the allies and to the English especial?
ly. The breaking of the English bat?
tle line and the capture of Calais, a*
ter they have had months in which to
prepare their defenses and bring up
reinforcements would go far toward
establishing the German claim of su?
periority. The defeat of tho English
in this campaign would mean more
than the failure of the German of?
fensive. If the allies are not able to
hold the Germans in check, what
ground is there for hope that they
can succeed in an offensive against
tho entrenched Germans?
see
The Republicans who do not sub?
scribe to tho doctrine that Col.
Koosevclt is the only piece of presi?
dential timber to bo found amongst
the wreckage of the old machine are
talking of making Col. Goethals the
nominee in 1916. For the Republican
bosses consider nominating a man
who has had no training in practical
politics and who ,if elected, would
probably give the country an honest
and efficient business administration
reveals the desperate straits they are
In. Such a proceeding would be con?
trary to the history and practice of
the party of practical politicans.

BOYS IN ENGLISH ARMY.
Mi^s Wtcfwon says Workmen Besom
Manns' Piescncc ? Refugees Ask
LOWCT Wages.
Baltimore, April 22.?That England
was enlisting hoys 1?! years old for ac?
tual service; that campaigns of an
"evangelistic" aspect were being con?
ducted to gel recruits; that London
BWarmed With Belgian refugees ami
unidentified orphans; that the English
people were more or less in ignorance
of actual happenings of the war; that
Lord Kitchener's prohibition meas?
ure for Britain was opposed by third
rate noblsmsn, and that Belgian peas?
ants were competing with British
workmen at a lower wage were some
I of the statements of Miss Davina
Waterson. of London, who arrived in
this city yesterday. She sailed from
Liverpool, April 11.
Miss Waterson is a guest at the
home of Dr. Howard A. Kelly, 1406
Eutaw place. She has lived part of
the last five years In this country,
traveling extensively. Six months ago
she w.ent to London to .visit relatives.
She has two nephews and many ac?
quaintances in the British army at the
front. Miss Waterson is an English?
woman, and, of course, she is pa?
triotic.
As to the feeling of the English
against the German nation Miss Wa?
terson said:
"It is a mistaken Idea that the Eng?
lish people hate the Germans. In
England there is no great hate against
the Germans as a nation, but there is
hate against Kaiser Wilhelm and his
advisers. The English hold him re?
sponsible for this appalling war.
"The I'nited States is the best-In?
formed nation on events of the con?
flict. Masses of the English people
believe that the United States is wait?
ing to see what side gets the upper
hand before favoring either. Of course,
the masses know nothing about the
food, the metals, guns and ammuni?
tion that America is sending to the al?
lies. This information is kept out of
the British newspapers.
"Kitchener is the dominant figure
of Great Britain; he is a veritable
'king.' His word, with exception c!
the prohibition measure, is law. He
frequently works 20 hours a day. In
his suite of 'camp' rooms at the War
Office is an army cot, upon which he
sleeps.
"The London season in society
would open about this time of the
yeeri but what a change! Piccadilly is
no'longer the boulevard of fashion-1
aide promenades: the squares, iJa^H-s,
and othoi places j.it In wai use. 'ih':!
hospitals are crowded; tnoUMunds ,of
wounded are being returned to Lon?
don and distributed to scores of pub?
lic and private hospitals. While there
is much moving of troops and war
materials' in daytime the bulk of the
traffic Is conducted at night.
' "In London there are 5,000 Boy
Scouts who are doing excellent work
in handling the crowds of refugees. I
believe there are 100,000 of these
homeless people in the great city.
Many London workmen resent the in?
trusion of the Belgians into certain
lines of employment. Many of these
Belgians have been engaged to work
for a lower wage, and this has caused
somo ill-feeling.
"Four hundred sentinels guard
Buckingham Balace. The public is no
longer permitted to visit the historic
Place. Sandbags ?>x feet In depth are
piled on the roof to protest the palace
against areo-bombs. This precaution
has been taken with all important
buildings. Dimmed lights only are
seen. King George and Queen Mary
are constantly visiting the wounded in
the hospitals and the soldiers in the
concentration camps. There are o00,
000 under canvas near London ready
for the move to the front. I have
heard that Kitchener's Grand Army
now totals 2.000,00(1 men and that his
army will be moved very soon.
"Everywhere in London, in day?
time you hear the recruiting bands.
Boys of 16 years are only permitted
to enlist when they obtain their par?
ents' consent. It's a fact, however,
that many lads of this age are now at
the front. The way they reach the
front is in this manner: At morning
parade the colonel of the regiment
will ask a company: Who's not afraid
to go to the front?' Immediately men
ami boyi will step forward, and the
'front' companies are soon on their
way across the Channel. These met,
are known as 'first line' volunteers.
"A strict guard of the east coast of
Rngland exists. The English people
really anticipate an attack and at?
tempt at Invasion by Germany on the
North sea coast. The attack on Scar*
borough and Yarmouth was made be?
cause it was believed that King George
and Queen Mary were at Sandringham
There is some fear in London from a
Zeppelin attack, but I think British
aviators will be able to offset q Heel
of (he < m in dirigibles.'
