baker's suggestions are now
ready to be sent to
congress.
Secre*aj*y Declines to Say What Age.
He Will Submit as Proper Basis for
Getting; More Men in Service?
Would Raise and Lower Present
Limit.
Washington, Aug. 1.?War depart -
. roent recommendations for enlarging
$he army and for the extension ot the
draft age limitations in order to pro
vide new reservoirs of man-power to
back UP the forces already at the
front will be laid before congress next
week. Members of the two military
committees have been called to Wash
ington by the chairmen in order to
expedite the bill.
In announcing, after a conference
with Chairman Dent, of the house
committee, that his increased army
project was virtually ready Secre
tary Baker would not say what age
figure had been settled upon nor indi
cate in any way the size of the army
' which he is planning.
"I do not want to say what the ages
will be," he said. "Because the con
current action of the ?wo houses is
necessary to secure assent to them. I
I had a conference with Mr. Dent thisj
morning and went over with him the
full plan, involving the suggested
ages. I am to have a conference with
.Senator Chamberlain as soon as he
gets back.
"Any suggestion to extend the draft
. ages is to produce in Class one an
adequate number of men for th. en
larged military program. If the agesi
are reviseiL-they will have to be eith- j
er below 21 or above 31 or both. I
think it will be both."
Chaiman Dept was even more re
ticent but said ^he was willing to go
either up or down in extending age
limits of the^raft to win the war.
"My personal preference is to go
up first," he added.
"The only specific information re
garding the ne,w age limits to be
drawn from Mi*. Baker was a state-j
ment that the limits of 19 to 40 hadj
been among suggestions canvassed, j
but rejected. In many quarters it is
believed extension to the ages of 19
and 36 will be recommended. .
There are several features of the
draft age discussion which stand out
clearly. In presenting the original se
lective service bill, Secretary Baker
and his advisers fixed 19 as the prop
er minimum, and Mr. Baker has said
repeatedly since then that he has,
seen no reason to change his opin
ion in that regard. Congress ruled
against taking men below the voting
age of 21, however, and sought to
make up the deficit by increasing the
wax department's suggested maximum
from 26 to 31 where it now stands.
., < The reluctance of many members
of congress to go lower than the 21
limit is still apparent* although there
is evidence of a strong sentiment to
ward -carrying the maximum up as
big!i?"!"?*-4^^
jever? that war department officials
would prefer to draw on the classes
of 15 and 20 years old youths to fill
the ranks and see :io decided military
advantage to be gained from any con
siderable extension upward.
Secretary Baker has heretofore an
nounced that his policy in recom
mending any change in draft ages
would be to seek a sufficient number
ef men to meet the army's needs in
such ages as would least disturb the
economic situation at once. The bulk
of the new forces, in his view, should
be drawn from the youngest class of
men physically able to stand the strain
of modern warfare.
From the purely army standpoint,
this has been a boy's war from the
start. The quick recuperative powers
of youth have been vitally necessary
to the military machine under the
conditions of modern warfare. Older
men are slower to recover and are
therefore of more limited use to the
army.
On the other hand, however, there
are a great number of men who could!
be called out of the higher ages, even j
up to 45. A far greater proportion)
of the men between 31 and 45 have
independent incomes than is true with
the men below 31, reducing depend
ents as a factor for exemption to that
extent.
As to size of army for which this
increased Class 1 is necessary, no offi
cial has dropped a hint, with the ex
ception of General March, who, in an
nouncing the ereation of a July sched
ule of six new divisions followed by
an August schedule for the same num
ber, has indicated the embarkation
upon such a monthly program. At this
rate approximately 250,000 men a
month, win be sent overseas. their
places in the home cantonments to
be taken by 2"?0.000 new men. Under
such a schedule, with provision al
ready existing for the housing and
training of 1,750,000 men in the Unit
ed States, a full six months of train
ing on this side, both in divisional and
replacement camps, before men were
sent over to complete their courses
behind the lines would be possible.
It is not certain that the depart
ment is aiming at the creation of a
force of any definite size. There al
ready a-e upward of 1,300,000 Ameri
can troops either overseas or en
route. Secretary Baker said today the
shipment rate of the early part of
July had been maintained through
out the month although he did not
have available the total shipment
Under the 2-r,0.000 a month sugges
tion and without mishap to the sup
ply line, October should see 2.000,000
Americans overseas and the opening
of the spring campaign of 1919 when
many officers believe the final scenes
of the German defeat will begin a
great combined drive against the
Germans, might easily see 3.v'00.00t
ready for action with another forc?.
of substantially 2.000,000 organized ai
home. That would represent th<
army of 5,000,000 men for v\nich in s
general way the war department ma)
be aiming.

SENATORS 11 MM
POLLOCK AND BENET AROUSE
BLEASE FOLLOWERS.
Men Wjm Object to Criticism of
Their Favorite Try to Silence
Speakers.
Aiken, Aug". 1.?The senatorial cam
paign here today fanned into living
flame the ashen memories of the 191-1
canvass, when Bloase was driven daily
from pillar to post by Lang D. Jen
nings of Sumter and W. P. Pollock oi
Cheraw whose sledge hammer blows
against the ramparts of Bleaseism
were powerfully sustained by stinging
repartee meted out to those who
sought to defend Bier so from the
withering fire.
Today was the first time in this
campaign when Bleaseites forgetting
their error of the past, came in any
appreciable measure to the rescue o
their vanquished leader. Both Benet
and Pollock today aroused the pre- J
viously smothered ire of a little band
of wilful Bleaseites, which resentment
broke out in patches throughout th?j
addresses of the two. and which was
steadily wiped out by an avalanche oi
sarcasm, causing the audience tc
break into sporadic bursts of cheerin.a
that swept the corridors of the cour:
house. j
W. P. Pollock reminded the uproar- j
ious crowd that he told them at the
campaign meeting here four years ago
that the people were "going to bury
Cole Blease face downward so deep
with their ballots that if he ever
scratches out, he will scratch out in
hell." \
This brought from an angered i
member of the Blease fraternity th<
question, "If he's dead why do you j
keep after him?" Mr. Pollock's re
ply was that he was now holding the
funeral. "We sometimes follow the
negro custom of going back and hold
ing the funeral the next year after
the body is buried.
Another wanted to know how many
votes Mr Pollock,got four years ago.
"More than Cole Blease is going to get
this year," Pollock shot back with
lightning like swiftness.
Ni B. Dial was also in the under
taking business, he told the 600 or
more people who scrambled for foot
ing in the court house. 'His business
this year was to "bury prejudices,
sham, hypocricies, isms and anti
isms." The war, he said, brought on
a new era and henceforth there was
to be "no ism but America." A few
years from now Bleaseism would be
a lost word.
James Francis Rice of Anderson to
day took Mr. Dial to task for the al
leged retarded progress of Laurens
county, Mr. Dial's home, in compari
son with that of Anderson. "Mr. Dial
boasts that he has lived in Lauren
all his life and worked for the devel
opment of that county. I have lived in
Anderson only 27 years and any one
who knows will tell you that Ander
son is eight or ten years ahead of.
Laurens in public schools, industrial
develbpmnt and farming*,'' Mr. Rice
said.
Senator Benet devoted considerable
time to, the propof d government con
ton holding corporation, which
scheme is for the government to fix
a minimum price below which cotton
sho.ll not be allowed to drop. This is
now engaging the attention of Sena
tor Benet, who went to Washington
last Saturday for a conference with
President Wilson and others on the
plan; it is hoped to have it in oper
ation by the time distress cotton be
gins to move.
Zvlr. /Dial also gave some attention
to the cotton warehouse plan, Mr
Dial organized he second cotton ware
house in the State and has beer,
strenuously advertising a national
plan for a number of years. The
trouble with a State system, he says: j
is South Carolina's efforts are neu
tralized by any other cotton State's
failure.
A particularly interesting feature
of today's meeting was the reading oi
the record of the relations between
Cole Ii. Blease and the late Senator
B. R. Tillman, by Mr. Pollock.
At Elliott, Sumter county, on June
2S Blease was reported by the
I Charleston American as saying Sena
j tor Tillman had betrayed the reform
I party as Judas Iscariot had betrayed
! his Master. Mr. Blease was also re
i ported as saying he would give "ev
i erything he possessed but one suit of
j clothes" if Senator Tillman could
! gain sufficient strength to get into the
j campaign, as "I would just love to
i meet him today face to .face before
the people he betrayed." At Wagen
er July 12, after Tillman's death,
when Blease was clamoring that he
was the logical successor to Mr. Till
man ZMr. Blease made another speech
i about which the Charleston American
j said:
I "Mr. Blease paid a magnificent trib
j ute to the late Senator Tillman as the
reform leader of former days, and re
ferred in words breathing of sorrow
I to Tillman's latter days and his
death. Mr. Blease's tribute to Mr.
Tillman and his analysis of the late
senator's ability and service to the
people of South Carolina would have
been worthy of any occasion."
j Mr. Pollock followed this with Sen
I ator Tillman's estimate of Blease ir
i a letter to C. L. Jones of Monetta
f
which was characterized as a "mes
sage from the grave." In this latter,
one of the last Senator Tillman wrote
; he said Blease w.as a "pro-German.*
ja "traitor to his country and his Cod.'
I "a blatherskite," "a man without
character, principle or patriotism,'
; and a traitor whom he couldn't se'

NEW m SCHEDULE.
LEW OX TOBACCO PRODUCTS
DOUBLED.
Departure Made Practically Without
Opposition?Effort Fails to Plact
Tax on Cotton.
Washington, Aug. 3 ?Doubling oi
the present special taxes em manu
factures of tobacco, cigars and cigar
ettes and increased taxation of brok
ers, theaters and 'other amusements,
billiard and pool parlors, bowling al
leys and capitalization of corporation*
were agreed on by the house ways
and means committee today in fram
ing the $8,000,000,000 -evenue bill.
A new tax of 1 per cent, on sale o:
mail order houses doing more than
$100,000 annual business was adopt
ed. Pullman seats and berths and
passenger rates will be subject to
uniform tax of S per cent. Stamp
taxes were undisturbed.
The special tax on mail order
houses was unofficially estimated as
capable of yielding several million
dollars of revenue and was adopted
with practically no opposition. Pro
posals that a tax of one-half of 1
per cent, be imposed on gross sales oi j
j chain stores and a 5 per cent tax be j
I laid on goods manufactured by con-!
corns employing child labor, undei i
certain standard ages were rejected. I
A proposal to tax cotton was re- j
jected almost unanimously.
Representative Moore. Pennsyl
vania, proposed a tax of $3 per bale,
which he contended would produce
$30,000,000 a year revenue, but its op
ponents immediately suggested tax on
grain and anthracite and similar ar
ticles produced in the North. Only
Representative Moore and Fairchild.
New York, voted for it. Mr. Moore
also proposed a tax on dogs, which
the committee voted down. I
Chairman Kitchin, after the com-'
mittee adjourned, summarized the j
situation as follows:
"We have put a tax of 1 per cent..
on retail sales on mail orders that
do ,$100,000 annual business. Wcj
have increased the special tax. Brok
ers now under a special tax of $30 j
will nay an annual tax of $100 and!
if they are members of a stock ex- |
change or board of trade engaged in'
buying and selling, will pay $250 an-!
nually. We have increased the tax j
on pawn brekers from $50 to $100;
ship brokers from $30 to $50, custom I
house brokers from $10 to $50.
"Theaters, including moving pic-!
ture shows, museums and concert
halls having a seating capacity of not
over 250 peopb.- will pay an annual
tax increased from $25 to $50; seat
ing capacity between 250 and 500, in
creased from $50 to $100; 500 to 800
seating capacity increased from $75
to $150, and all over 800 capacity in
creased from $100 to $200 annual
tax. We have doubled the present
special taxes on theaters, circuses,
bowling alleys, billiard and pool places
and on manufacturers of tobacco,
cigars and cigarettes.
"We have put new special tax or-,
sales of seats on stock and produce
exchanges of 10 per cent on the sale
price of the seats and on annual dues
of these exchanges a tax of 20 per
cent on the amount of the dues. This
is to put them on the same basis with
clubs and other organizations already
put under tax.
"Pullman seats and berths un,dei
i the present law are taxed 10 per cent
\ and passenger rates S per cent of the
j amounts paid for ticket or coupons.
We today agreed to make the tax on
both of these 8 per cent. This was
at the request of the director general
of railroads who wanted the taxes on
them made the same to simplify the
mileage coupons about to be issued
We imposed a tax of 10 per cent on
the stiles of yachts.
We considered the stamp taxes in
the present law and they will remain
as at present." t
Mr. Kitchin announced that under
the action of the committee so far the
excise taxes would produce about
$1,000,000,000 which includes beer,
whiskey, automobile, soft drinks,
gasoline owners and similar taxable
subjects. This is about one-half oi
the amount allotted to commonly
termed luxuries and non-essentials
but Mr. Kitchin said the allotted $2.
000.000,000 under this head would be
levied.
Taxation of tobacco manufacturers
but not retail dealers was considered
today. The tobacco schedule as
adopted provides that -60 days aft* '
the passage of the new law and there
after on July 1 of each year, a special
tax computed on the basis of the sa^
of the preceding fiscal year will be
j made as follows: Tobacco manufac
i turers with annual sales not exceed
i ing 5,000 pounds. $6 a year; 50,000
j to 100,000 pounds, $12: 100.000 to

HEALTH MEETING AT CONCORD.
Successful Meeting in Spite of Ikul
Weather.
The first of the series of commun
ity and public health meetings in this
county was held under disadvantage
ous ?weather conditions at Concord
school last Friday, Misses Annie Keels
and Alice Martin, home demonstra
tion agents, and Dr. Sophia Brunson
being the successful directing heads
of the splendid educational program.
The rain interfered with the at
tendance of rural citizens, but quite
a number, however, braved the in
clement weather, and enjoyed the
j combination event, which included a
sumptuous picnic dinner for which
Concord township is famous, a dem
onstration and lectures in preserva
tion of food by Misses Martin and
Keels, such as lig jam, Xdxie Relish,
soup mixture, grape mince-meat, can
ned okra, etc.
The ladjes of the community furn
I ished the vegetables and fruit, and
i the demonstration agents supplied
! the jars, rubbers, spices. The ladies
paid for the jars and carried the
finisbhed product home
Dr. Sophia Brunson handled the
public health feature of the meeting
in an excellent, non technical, and
'comprehensive manner, regarding the
"Right Way of Living." Dr. Brunson
showed that it is, as a matter of fact,
unnecessary for anyone to die of pre
mature death, except from absolute
negligence, accident, homicide or
ignorance of the fundamental prin
ciples of personal and public hygiene,
that Very important branch of san
tary science which treats of the
dangers to the many because
of the indifference or lack of knowl
edge on the part of a minority.
Artificial stimulation as a menace to
perfect physique or normal health
standards such as. the excessive use
of alcohol, tobacco and other non-es
sentials, which are beverages or habits
and not food.
Balanced rations, over j eating, ig
norance as to proper prcperation and
cooking of food, failure to protect
food against contamination of disease
bearing germs, and resultant illness
were featured in her address.
Statistics covering economic loss
brought about by preventable disease
anjj^nnnecessary premature deaths,
loss" of earning power due to sick
ness; suffering entailed on members
of families because of illness and
dec/th, i;he terrible infant mortality
which can and should be prevented,
and a general discussion of the right
and the wrong way to live proved
j that the speaker is unusually well
versed in such matters. Dr. Brunson
i emphasized the fact that if the wo
| men, and girls will put up fruits and
vegetables in palatable and whole
some manner as directed by Misses
j Keeis and Martin, that the ladies of
Sumter will gladly purchase same,
j and this thrift will serve the dual
J purpose of helping to keep Sumter
county money in Sumter county for
re-distribution, conserve food, and
relieve the transportation companies
of having to haul tons of food stuffs.
The audience was given opportun
ity to ask questions and a number did
so.
The dinner was a delicious demon
stration of the well known "live at
home" industry of that prosperous
and intelligent community, and the
meeting was a success from every
point of view. The ladies are to In
congratulated on their demonstration
that the women folks can pull of]
professional, scientific and social
events when necessary to do so, with
out male direction.
Misses Keels and Martin will, be
ginning today, Cooperate with th<
County Council of Defense speakers
in the county-wide ?public health
community meetings.

Ten War Commandments
For the French People?

PARIS, Jul y21.?The economic and social section of the
League of Patriots, with headquarters in Pari?, 4 Rue Ste. Anne,
his distributed a leallet, urging the French to endure without
complaint the restrictions imposed upon them in the interest of
their country. The following is a copy:
"(1) Do not forget that we are at war. In your smallest ex
penditures never lose sight of the interests of the native land.
"(2) Economize on the products necessary for the life of the
country: coal, bread, meat, milk, sugar, wine, butter, beans, cloths,
leather, oil. Accept rations. Ration yourself as to food, clothing,
amusements.
"(C). Save the products of French soil, lest some day you de
prive your father, your son, your husband, who are shedding their
blood to defend you.
"(4.) S- ? the products that France must buy from foreign
countries _o not drain reserves of gold, which arc indispensable
to vie*
*'( / Waste nothing. All waste is a crime which imperils the
national defense?prolongs the war.
"(6). Luv only according to your needs. Do not hoard provis
ions; your selfishness raises prices and deprives those of smaller
means of tiling indispensable to existence.
"(7). Do not travel unnecessarily. Reflect that our trains arc,
before all, destined for the transportation of the troops, the feed
ing of the population, the needs of our national production.
"(H). Do not remain idle. According to your age and your abil
ity, work for your country. Do not consume without producing.
Idleness is desertion.
"CJ). Accept without murmuring the privations which are Im
posed upon you. Reflect upon the sufferings of those who are
lighting for you. upon the martyrdom of the population whose
hearths have been devastated by the enemy.
"(10) Remember that victory belongs to those who can hold
