confronts it. The conduct of the war
on England's part has been, thus far,
I a. series of costly blunders that have
I resulted in the sacrifice of billions of
1 wealth and hundreds of thousands of i
' lives for which there have been no,
compensatory, gains. England has
accomplished nothing by the unusual
I
expenditure of blood and treasure
save the seizure of the weak and j
widely scattered Oerman colonies. For
a year they have barely held their
linos In France, have suffered a dis?
astrous and humiliating defeat at the

to the wall In Mesopotomlna and are
facing an attack on Egypt and the
probable loss of control of the Suez

policy or positive leadership.

David Lloyd-George and Winston
Spencer Churchill.are the only Brit?
ish statesmen who have given evidence
4fm Coll realisation of the gravity o'
fjfe<m4ste confronting the British em?
pire and with being possessed of the
determination to adopt policies ade?
quate to meet the desperate situa?
tion. Cburchdl saved England at thfc
outbreak of the war by having the
navy on a war footing and mobilised
for immediate action; Lloyd-George Is
the man who will save the empire, if
it Is saved, by mobilizing the industrial
workers to produce munitions and by
coercing the government to adopt a.
conscription law that ' will force the
shirkers into the army. (Much was
expected of Lord Kitchener and there
are reasons for believing that he ac?
complished a great deal with the
means at his command, but h'
sfjBtt 'of performing the miracles the
IshsjMsli people confidently expected. It
near Sie that the almost superstitious
ejsJssT thwt the English people onter
Shinad fn KKv.heners ability to win a
victory over the Germans is respon?
sible for failure of nation to rouse U>
self and throw every man and every
available resource of empire' Into tne
struggle against Germany. They seem?

SAVE PEAS TO PLANT.
Peas Sown on Small Grain Stubble
Give^nc Soil-Building Results in
Tills Stute.
Clcmson College, Dec. 27.?The crop
of cowpeas in South Carolina this
year was unusually abundant and
many farmers have made large quan?
tities of both peas and hay. They are
urged by the extension division of
Clemson College to hold in reserve
enough good peas to use for sowin?
purposes next year.
One of the best rotation practices
for South Carolina is to follow oats or
wheat by ^* cowpeas. Peas sown on
grain stubble have an excellent effect
on the soil and if those farmers who
are sowing oats and wheat now will
plant this land to cowpeas ne*t year
they will find their land In a greatly
improved condition a year from now.
