Amsterdam, Oct. 8.?"Militarism has not attained its aim of peace b> annexation, violence and oppression? a peace by understanding is coming instead," said Dr. Bernhard Dern burg, former German minister of col onies, speaking at Chemnitz, Saxony. "With Prince Maximilian." he add ed, "the old German ideal comes to the fore?'Not what is useful but what is right and moral.' "Such a peace will bring a new era and new and better times will dawn for Germany and the world based or. justice in thought and action.. A new era means a fundamental revolution ary transformation of governmental system for. the entire future. "Militarism is an expression of vio lence without the restriction of au thority. It terrorizes the entire statr life. "President Wilson's 14 old and five new points ?an be accepted by us if put forward honestly without hu: miliation for Germany. We shall not accept an unjust, humiliating peace The new ministry is not only a min istry of peace but if necessary a min istry of national defense, and if it must be, to the bitter end." "BEFORE AND AFTER." Present Talk of the Kaiser Compared With What he Said in the Spring. London, Sept. 25 (Correspondence Df the Associated Press)?An amaz ing change in the tone of the German rulers and the German press, result ing from the victorious driive of the sntente allies is noted here. Con trasted with their warlike declara tions last spring when the Germans were making their victorious drive, recent utterances of Emperor William md Grown Prince Frederick, are mild er and regarded here as betraying :heir uneasiness and fear now when he fortunes of war are going against hem. As illustrating this Emperor William sajt? in April and May: "The w^rld war cannot terminate \n my otife*. manner than by the com pete victory of Germany over all her meciies. The last few months have ircught us successes which justify >tfr title to the strong peace which roads to victorious German after the great drive on :he Mariie, the future looked less ?o 3eate to \the Emperor for he said: 'The worst days of this war are still n store for Germany. In September, after the allies had lurled back the German invaders and were breaking through the Hinden burg line, the situation apparently looked serious to the Emperor, for he said: "The German people is fully aware of the gravity of the present strug gle which will decide its future. Crown Prince Frederick put no lim it on his warlike aspirations in Sep tember 1917. He said then: "With scorn our enemies thrust back our offered hand of peace. The sword must continue its bloody work until our foes are compelled to adopt an other attitude.'* By September of this year, howev er, the Crown Prince was willing to concede that Germany's enemies should be permitted to live. He said: "I have never taken the view that we should crush our enemies. I con sider its moreover not desirable that our enemies should be annihilated be cause there is room enough in this world for all nations." Hospital Jokes. With the American Army, France, j Sept. 25 (Correspondence of The As sociated)?The laugh and the joke and the prank are not absent from .the American military hospitals. There is suffering, of course, in these great, splendidly equipped institu tions, but even the shrapnel loaded American citizen soldier has his fun. One surgeon tells this story: When the lines of stretcher cases were being brought into his hospital the surgeons stood in the reception ward making quick examinations. One stretcher was brought silently in, the form of a soldier :;ying rigid un der blankets drawn over the head This is the sad sign of one who needs no more help. They motioned the bearers to set it aside in a corner and when the last wounded man had been looked over the surgeons reverently lifted the blanket from the face. The "dead" man sat suddenly up with a loud "Boo!" Then the "case" laugh ed, lay down and again drew the blanket ever his face. They let him play his joke on others for awhile, then sent him vto a ward to have some machine gun bullets packed out. "Do you suffer very much, laddie." asked a nurse of a soldier who lay in his cot with white face and tight lips in an American field hospital. "No, Miss, Oh no." was the shaky reply, "We Marines don't suffer, you know." _ ._ IJiTTER FROM FRANCE. Wants to Mutch His Skill With the Kaiser's Minions. ; Mr. E. D. Andrews, formerly of Oswego, now assistant surgeon at a ] U. S. N. air station in France, has j written to a friend in Charleston. Mr. j Andrews is a graduate of the Medi cal College of South Carolina and has many friends in this city, who will be delighted to hear of him: U. S. N. Station^ France, 9-14-181 "I still have before me your much appreciated letters of 2-11-18. I am truly ashamed of my not having writ ten you many times in these past months, but I have been very busy most of the time, or there have been circumstances which have kept me from writing. All of my own folks think I have forgotten them, or that i have lost my arms or something and can't write. Nothing whatever has happened to me, however, and I am just as well as I was when I saw you last. "I am not up near the firing line, 1 am sorry to say, and I don't go out to fight battles in the air. Compared to the wonderful actiori up on the west tern front this life of mine seems awfully tame here, but someone has to stay in the posts back here, I sup pose. j "I met up with a number of friends 11 had in Charleston since I came over here. It is wonderful to see the action and movement all around; you just seem like a little gnat among all the insects of the globe. It is even pos sible that you yourself will be here in France fighting the battle for free dom before another year this time. Everyone is having to make grea* sacrifices, but it is better so than for your children and mine to fight it out when we are classed as feebles and can only sit in the easy chair in the chimney corner and chirp excuses as to why we didnt' fight it out, when German imperialism slapped us in the face in these years of our youth. It is a wonderful pleasure to know how everyone is doing their bit both here and back in the States. It is a good feeling when you know all the good people in the world are backing you in a fight. "I have been in this location, some where on the coast of France, for al most six months now. I was in Paris a long time, and several times the . Bosche came and dropped his pellets of high explosive, in order to scare ' the women and children, but he had just as well let his airmen sit over in Germany and warm their toes at the fire. It is funny how you can get accustomed to most anything, and how you can let a few bombs drop right around you and 'still think noth ing of it. I suppose that is why we all like to gamble in some form, be cause we like the sport of taking a chance. "The madamoselles of this country are O. K. They don't take life so seriously as our American girls. You don't have to hunt around for some ' one to introduce you; the mere fact 1 that you are an Amerlkain* will per mit you to parle vous. I generally spend the evenings at the villages and the city around here, and I am | little by little learning to speak a little French. You don't have any trouble in getting all you want, and ! these girls will love you if you just let them. Lots of Americans are get ting their wives over here, and you never can tell, I may bring me back a French lassie yet. ? -r' "We have good roads all over the country, and we have Fords and Cadillacs and trucks. Everything over here looks like it was built *in Caesar's time, and lots of it was. The people themselves, the children even, with their wooden shoes and quaint dress and rosy cheeks, the mud-briek houses, all point to antiquity. The other day I was in an old chateau which was built in the time of Cae sar. There were still the dark dun geons down under the ground, where water was continually dropping, drop by drop; there were the thumb screws and other instruments of tor ture of the Spanish inquisition. When you emerge again into the sunlight you feel as if you have been under a magic spell and taken back on a journey into the dark ages, and have emerged again into the twentieth century. Time itself must have to stop and think to remember when it all began. "I have seen enough of this coun try and have learned enough of them all in the world to know that we really and truly do live in God's land, and you will learn this, too, if you ever leave it. It is alright to go out on a crusade for right, or for a little trip of exploration just to see how other folks, live, but as for a place to live in, 'give me the land of liberty or give me death.' Of course I wouldn't under any circumstances care to leave here until we have gone all the way to Berlin, and the nearer the front I can get the better I will like it. In fact, there is not a man behind the lines but what would wel come a chance to go right up and match his skill and strength with the minions of the Kaiser. That is the way all the men behind the lines think of it in general. I would like to pay you a little visit and have a good old talk over things, but as that is not practicable, I send very kindest regards and best wishes to you both and the kids. 'Always your sincere friend, "E. O. Andrews, "Asst. Surgeon, U. S. N. Starvation Prices in Russia. Paris, Sept. 25 (Correspondence of The Associated Press)?Food prices in Petrograd and Moscow are the highest ever recorded there accord ing to letters received here by the father of two French women now in Russia. Boots cost $160 a pair and a man's suit $2-10. The clothing and shoe crisis was said to be "terrible." These French women said theyJ were paying 50 cents for one eg*J $1.70 for a pint of milk; $4 for /i pound of meat; $10 a pound for hjot ter; $150 a pound for potatoe^riind $2 a pound for fish. The^uissian pound, it must be remeiyhered, 'i" about oi.e-fifth less than th? American pound averdusois. / MORMANS SAVE WHEAT. U. S. Food Administration Secured I 175,000 Bushels From Relief So-1 ciety. Salt Lake City, ?ct. 8.?It was {owing to the forethought and ener gy of a woman that the United States j Food Administration was enabled to obtain recently 175,000 bushels of wheat from the Relief Society of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, (Mormons). This store of grain had been saved up against a possible famine and was made avail able to the government in a time of great need. The woman who was chiefly in strumental in saving up the wheat is Emmeline B. Wells, president of the church relief society. For 42 years ?he carried out the wishes of Brig-> ham Young in the storing of the grain. Young, then president of the Mor mon church, taught her that some day there would be a famine and he urged her to advocate saving grain. Through the medium of a paper known as the "Woman's Exponent," which Mrs. Wells edited for years, she preached the storing of grain by the women of the church relief so cieties. The original work began through the gleaning of the wheat fields and grew annually until in later years funds of the society were in vested in wheat, which was sold when prices were high, the money be ing re-invested when the prices were low. Mrs. Wells traveled to every place in the West where members of the Merman church had colonized, preaching the storing of grain. With the advance in transporta tion methods endeavors were made to stop the practice, but Mrs. Wells has insisted that the work be continued. The granaries of the relief society are again being filled at the suggesion of Mrs. Wells, who is still president of the relief society of the church, which numbers 48,000 members. Mrs. Wells is in her ninety-first year. She is as active as a woman of 45. She has grandsons and great jrandsons serving with the American forces abroad and one of her am bitions today is to fly in an airplane.. Advancement of her sex has always been a favorite field in the activities of Mrs. Wells. She was an associate of Susan B. Anthony. In 1899 she -epresented Utah women at the Wo man's International Council and Con gress in London, and was presented to ?iueen Victoria during her visit there. She has been the Utah delegate to the National Woman's Suffrage con tentions at different times. ORTHEOPEDIC SURGERY. Soldiers With Shattered Limbs Have Them Made Over. Lonon, Seut. 25 (Correspondence of The Associated Press)?A Ca nadian officer, wounded early in the war, came to St. Katharine's Lodge, one of the American Red Cross ortho pedic hospitals in London, to have his left arm made over. The elbow had oeen shattered. The officer was given a choice of having a weak, movable eJbow, or a strong stiff one. Without hesitation, the Canadian chose the tiff! elbow, and astonished the sur geons by asking that the arm be made perfecly straight so he could use a hunting rifle and a billiard cue. Another Canadian officer insisted ort having his smashed leg so rebuilt that he could continue to ride a horse. It required months of orthopedic treat ment, but when the patient finally left the hospial to return to his ranch in Western Canada, he was ready for the saddle. These cases illustrate not only the special work of an orthopedic hos pital, but how closely the surgeons consult the wishes of their patients. SOLDIERS FROM HAWAII. A Variety of Men of Different Races. Honolulu, T. H., Oct. 8.?Statistics just made public by officials in charge of selective draft work in Hawaii show what materials are being poured into the American melting pot at the ?Crossroads of the Pacific." More than half of the territory's drafted soldiers arc Filipinos, 525 of each 1,000 to be exact. Ranking next numerically are, respectively, Japa nese, Hawaiians, Portuguese, whites other than Portuguese, part Hawaii ans, Chinese, Koreans, Porto Ricans and negroes. Despite the cosmopolitan character of Hawaii's military units, the com manding officers say that the men j show a remarkable attitude for war, drill well together and will give a good account of themselves if they are ever pitted against the Huns. ROPE CHEAPER THAN AMMUNI TION. Bandits in Mexico are Now Hang In stead of Shot. Chihuahua City, Oct. 8.?Hanging has replaced firing squad, executions in northern Mexico. General Fran cisco Murguia prefers the rope to the bullet for disposing of condemned men as he says it saves ammuni tions,, which is difficult to obtain. When Gen. Murguia's trocps capture the bandits who burn trains and loot towns he orders them strung up to the nearest telegraph poles. Pas sengers arriving here from the south recently reported having soon 3f? bodies hanging from telegraph poles along the Mexican Central railroad. When Villa last attacked the state capital here. Gen. Murguia ordered more than 100 of Villa's partisans within the city hanged to the cotton wocd trees in the Alameda. Last week a paymaster of the army who was short in his accounts was found hanging from a limb on one of the principal-' streets. V^OSSES FOB BRITISH. Casualties Total Thirty-seven Thou sand in Week.

Father Hughson Raised to Headship of Order?Career of South Carolina Clergyman Prominent in Journal istic Circles Early in Life. (The State.) The September number of The Holy Cross .Magazine, published at West Park, New York, "in the interests of Catholic Religion and the Regular Life by the Order of The Holy Cross, a Religious Community for Priests and Laymen of the American Church," contains the following "note:" "Our meeting of chapter last month brought the time for the trien nial election of the superior of the Order. Father Hugson was elected Superior. He has been professed in the Order for 16 years. He will re main in office as master of novices. Father Harrison has been appointed assistant superior." This will be read with great inter est by students of South Carolina Col lege during the early '80s, by many readers of the newspaper press of Charleston during the Tillman move ment, and by thousands in the South ern and. Eastern States, lovers of lit erature, "sacred and profane," who have heard, or who have watched with abiding interest the brilliant career of the Rev. Shirley Carter Hughson. If he has had any ambition, other than to do good, during the last 25 years of his life, surely it has been attained when the brothers of his or der have elected him their superior? or chief. A brief sketch of his career, unique perhaps, among South Carolinians, can not fail to be of Interest in this, his native State. Father Hughson, O. H. C, is of South Carolina and Virginia stock. Through his mother he is descended from the Turners, Shirleys and Car ters of Virginia and the Legares of South Carolina. His mother's grand father was the Rev. Dr. Reynolds Eascom, an eminent Presbyterian . minister. His father, the late Dr. John Scott Hughson, a gallant soldier in the Confederate Army, and for many years a leading citizen of Sum ter, was the son of the Rev. Wil liam E. Hughson, a devoted minister of the Baptist church :n this State. He was born at Cam n, February 15, 1867; received his early education at his home in Sumter, and in March, 1883 matriculated at South Carolina College. He remained only two years, spending most of his time, it is said, in the college library, where he was an omnivorous reader, apparently not caring much for scholastic distinction of preeminence in assigned duties Returning to Sumter he continued his studies on his own account, paying special attention to history and Eng- . Iish literature, and occasionally writ- , ing for newspapers. In 1888 he be came a reporter of the Charleston World and in 1889 entered the service of The News and Courier. During the memorable canvass of the Hon. B. R. Tillman for governor, Mr. Hughson was the chief actor in a dramtic episode at Marion, which is still well remembered by many, and attracted much attention at the time. It was distasteful to him then ?and to recall the details would be doubly so now!?for he never cared to "play to the galleries,' or courted "the limelight." It proved to all men his burning enthusiasm and personal pluck. Nil extremis was not to be found then, or probably now, in his vocabu lary; he knows no middle ground; he can at one time emulate the in finite pity and love for the erring that marked St. Francis of Assissi, and at another he can denounce weakness vice in high places with all the ear nestness, if not with the eloquence of Bossuet. Leaving The News and Courier he went to the University of the South, at Sewanee, in 1891 where he was as sistant master of the grammar school and pursuing himself certain lines of study. While at Sewanee he edited for a series of "Laurel Crowned Let ters," published by a great Chicago house; "The Best Letters of Percy Bysshe Shelley." His introduction is a brief but charming essay on Shelley, showing nice and discriminating crit j ical ability. A second edition of this work was published by William Heinemann of London. In 1892 he entered John Hopkins University as a graduate student, making history his "major" in his studies for the degree of doctor of philosopy. His invaluable monograph, "The Carolina Pirates and Colonial Commerce, 1670-1740"?although its title is misleading, there having been no "Carolina Pirates!"?is one of the four best contributions to the State's history published since the War of Secession. It convinced his friends of his unquestioned ability as an histor ical investigator, largely but not en tirely, in the modern "science" sense. It is known that Mr. Hughson made elaborate studies in the history of the Nullification movement and of the Slavery regime in South Carolina, and| of the life of Hugh S. Legare; but none of these was destined to be com pleted, nor did the prospect of a doctor's degree in philosophy continue to charm'him, for in 1893 he left the university and entered the General Theological Seminary in New York. ;is a candidate for holy orders. Grad uating from the seminary at Chelsea Square in 1S96, he was successively ordained deacon in June, is9f>. and priest in June, 1S97, and until 1900 served at St. Mark's Church, Philadel hia, as curate. In January, 1900, he took the oath of a novice and in due time entered into full connection with the Order of the Holy Cross. The home of the order for 11 years was at Westminster, near Baltimore, Md.. but its present main seat, or mon astery, is at West Park, on the Hud son River, N. Y. Father Hughson was mainly instru mental in establishing a home and school for mountain boys at St. An drews, in the Cumberland* near Se wanee, Tenn. In 1908 many ardent admirers presented Father Hughson's name before the Diocesan Convention nd urged his election as Bishop of eorgia. It is no secret among his iriends that he was greatly delighced when he heard that he had not been elected. "Such incidents, however," ?8 said., "are gratifying in *aat they show the love my friends have for me." It was at this time that Pleas ant A. Stovall of Savannah, now American Minister to Switzerland, wrote: "I met Father Hughson but once and have heard him peach only a few times, but I recognized in him' a man of power and originality . . . He is a worker and a speaker and im presses me more than any clergyman in the Episcopal Church in the South." He has found time in the midst of a very busy life; now at Holy Cross Monastery; then at St. Andrews, and year after year on frequent "mis sions," frequently in company with Father Sill, to Episcopal churches throughout the Union, to write two books?far, far removed from Shel dley's Letters and Carolina Pirates? they are entitled: "The Warfare of the Soul, Practical Studies in the Life of Temptation," and "The Fundamen tals of the Religious Life." The pur pose of his last work can, perhaps, best be given in the opening para graph of the preface. He writes: "After three years' suppression, the Religious Life in the Anglican Communion was revived now nearly three-quarters of a century ago. Dur ing this period it has produced, in one form or another, a wealth of lit erature, most of it being of a devo tional character. "Although the principles of the Life have been assiduously studied by men and women of learning : and ability, no book has yet been written which can be freely put as a text book into the hands of aspirants and others desiring to know what are the technical principles of the Religious State." The keen, cheery humor of the Hughson of the brave days when he was 21 crops out in a note sending a copy of this work to an old un regenerate friend and newspaper as sociate. He writes: "You will not understand a word of it, but it is with some glee that I send you a book of my own making that will baffle even your astute brain." The apparently sudden transition that Father Hughson made when he gave up the old life as "a man of the world," using that phrase in its best sense, and took the Benedictine vows of poverty, celibacy and obe dience, filled his friends with aston ishment. It is not uncommon among Celtic and Latin peoples, but unusual among races that are largely "Anglo Saxon" or follow those ideals. If the. brilliant head of the Order of the Holy Cross were asked today "in what happiness consists?" he would probably assure us in the wo.ds of another; that "happiness is not the result of pleasure, commencing with enjoyment and turning naturally into the satieity of fruition, but of pain, dedicated to God by consecration, and transfigured by resignation into the peace that attends tve practice of His presence."

Surgeons to Travel by Airplanes. Paris, Sept. 25 (Correspondence)? Surgeons of the French army prob ably soon will be carried in airplanes to present stations behind the tiring line when their services are urgently needed. Four surgical airplanes now are being completed for this use on the battlefields. The planes will be capable of lift ing three men?a pilot, a surgeon and an X-ray operator?together with radiograph, surgical instruments and a small folding table in aluminum. They will have a speed of from 45 to 70 miles an hour, which will enable j them to reach, for example, Noyon to Paris in an hour, whereas the lightest surgical motor takes half a day. . ?H"H"!"K v ?I"M' 4* * <?
