Paris, Sopt. 25 (Correspondence or ' The Associated Press)?Airplanes and tanks are being used by volunteer chaplains and field secretaries with the Knights of Columbus, to serve the American soldiers over here. Two chaplains, the Rev. John Mor an, of Eugene, Ore., and the Rev. John Sullivan, of Tuckahoe, N. Y., were the first priests to make their rounds by the air route. The Rev. Mr. Sullivan uses airplanes several times a week and thus- is able to visit field hospitals within a radius of 200 miles of his camp. Airplane transportation was used by' the Rev. Mr. Moran for the first t?ne when he received two calls to say field masses one Sunday morning. 3r?e call' came from villages fifty miles'apart where troops were bil leted. An aviation pilot solved the ?problem for Chaplain Moran by of fering to take him to both places and he went. The result was a field mass at one village at 6 o'clock in the morning: and at another mass in the village fifty miles further on at 7.?f> a m." ; Sfce Rev. Edwin O'Hara, rector of the Cathedral at Portland, a. volunteei chaplain for the Knighxs of Colum bus used a tank to fulfill an engage ment to say mass to distant troop^^ and a secretary went with him tc supply the soldiers with boxing gloves and baseball material for use aftei the services. Dr. A. Weinberg received a tele gram today from Camp Beauregard La., that his brother, Lieut. Miltor W'einberg, R. M.

Chancellor Must Answer President Quickly'or His Cabinet Will Fall But Will Attempt to Create Discus sion. Washington, Oct. 9.?An early re sponse to President Wilson's note oi inquiry to the German chancellor i expected by American officials. While realizing that an answer to the threi pertinent questions put to the Princ of Baden will be very difficult if tht original proposals of the German gov ernment were not sincere, officials are confident internal conditions in Ger many and the tremendous exigencie> of the military situation will force speedy action by the chancellor if hi hopes to prolong the existence of h? cabinet beyond a few days. So far as the hold of the govern ment upon the people is concerned conditions in Austria are even fai worse than those in Germany. This fact is calculated to strongly affec. the German government, which is un derstood to entertain grave doubts of the strength of purposes of the Dua Monarchy and to fear that Austria, or perhaps Hungary, acting independ ently, will follow Bulgaria in seekin? an unconditional peace. This would leave Germany to wage the was alone, for it is a foregone conclusion that Turkey already is lost to th? central alliance.% The pointed inquiry directed tc Prince Maximilian*5 as to whether he is speaking merely for the constitutec authorities of the empire who have so far conducted the war, will, it is believed, be very embarrassing. It the response is in the affirmative Ger many's proposal will be rejected, a* the president has already given no tice that he will have no dealing, with such authorities. The powerful Socialist elements u the Reichstag also are counted upon to resent any such statement by the chancellor, is directly in conflict with the reichstag resolution of July, 1917. and with the very recent pledges to make the cabinet a representative body, under which the Socialists were enticed to take part *u the govern ment. On the other hand, if Max imilian attempts to repudiate th military party he undoubtedly wil bring about a demand from that still powerful organization for his retire ment, and the adoption of a reaction ary policy. The general belief here is that the chancellor will endeavor to find a middle course and confine himself in his reply to half way admissions hop ing thus to begin a long diplomatic j discussion which ~ *rt develop dif | ferences between entente allies and America as to war aims, and tc lower the morale of the armies op posed to the Central powers. Any such move is certain of fail ure and in the meantime the German armies in the west are being subject 3d to increasingly harel blows from Marshal Foch's forces?blows which are adding to the difficulties of th< German high command in extricating their forces from an already serious situation. The fact that American Ambassa dor Sharp is making a personal inves tigation of the havoc wrought by the Germans in their forced retirement from French and Belgian territory, has led to the belief that it is the pur pose of the State department to fully support the enormous claims of the damages which Germany must meet as a condition of peace. So far the American government has not indi cated a disposition to join with the entente allies in making a threat to destroy a Germany city or town in retaliation for every such commun ity destroyed by the Germans ir. j France and Belgium, but Mr. Sharpe's I investigations might be regarded as j also indicating a purpose to join in j such representations, should the facts sustain the press reports as to the ex tent of the German atrocities. CONFERENCE OF SOCIAL WORK. Important Meeting to Be Held hi Sumter November 19-21. A year ago the State Conference of Charities and Correction changed its name to the State Conference of So cial Work harmonizing with the Na tional Conference, which changed it? name some months ago. The Rev. K. G. Finlay has been president of the Conference, but having left the Sate to enter Y. M. C. A. work in France his position has been filled by Rev. A. T. Jamison of Greenwood. The Executive Committee recently helel a meeting and elecided to meet at Surnter November 19-21 next. All social workers in the State are re quested to make note of this date and to plan attendance at the Sumter Con ference. Mr. Joseph C. Logan of At lanta, prominent in Red Cross work has accepted an important place on the program, as has Dr. Reed Smith of the State Council of Defense, and Mr. J. E. McCulloch, Secretary of the Southern Soeiaological Congress. Dr. John E. White of Anderson will deliver the opening address upon the subject of "South Carolina Sociol ogy." An entire session will be giver up to the subject of (Children's Topic and Miss Julia C.

V.?Athletic sup plies and equipment will face sweep ing reductions as a result of the "la test rulings of the War Industrie Board and it is not unreasonable l axpect price advances if the deman< jutstrips the supply. Restriction have been placed upon the produc cion of certain of the more eomiuoi sport supplies and ia other cases fur ther manufacture is prohibited afte the present stock of material in ham is exhausted. The followers of t lit* variou branches of sport will note with in terest that more leeway is allowed ii the matter of the baseball and foot ball output than is the case in tennt and golf. This is due not to aiserim Ination but rather to the fact tha greater quantities of rubber are use in the manufacture of the balls use< in these games than in baseball an< football. According to the latest ruling not more than forty per cen of the tennis and golf equipment pro duced during the last four months o 1917 "Shall be manufactured durin; the final months of the present yeai In the field of basebali and footba; the maximum is put at sixty per cen which gives a wider latitude to tin producer. In the uniforms department th. regulations specify that no materia will be available after the manufac turer has used the supplies now i? stock.' This will effect football an. baseball to a far greater extent thai will be the case among the golf am tennis players for while special cloth ing is considered * desirable amom many of the devotees of these game* it is not absolutely necessary. He cause of the greater personal contac in' baseball and football, uniform with special padding and armor ar not a matter of personal choice bu rather essential as a protection against bodily injuries. During the past year the price o new athletic equipment and repairs t. old paraphernalia has mounted i; keeping with all other commoditie. The cost of all material and labor in volved has increased as the player o any game realizes when he takes ; tennis racquet to be restrung: a gol club to be repaired or sport shoes t be resoled. Under the circumstance the outfitting of teams next season should organized sport play be pos sible, will be an a uditional tax upor I the managerne*-. of such teams. Thr ? i^nal championship of soc cer football may be anybody's priz this season. As in nearly every oth er sport, the dope is completely up set in the major league of the kickin game. In all probability some com bination entirely new to the Natlona Challenge Cup Competition will weai the Soccer crown when the 1918-1. season is brought to a conclusion nex' April. The long arm of the military drai has reached into the Bethlehem Stee: F. C. which has won the nationa trophy three times. Two stars of th Bethlehem machine?Tommy Murray one of the best halfbacks in th land, and Jimmy Murphy, a leadim forward?have been called for arm> service. The championship aggre gation of last season has been ma terially weakened, a "fact which in jects a new interest into the N. C. C Competition. A dozen new elevens of 'the ver; first rank are entering the lists fo: the national title. They will repre sent leading shipbuilding plants or the Atlantic Coast and along th Great Lakes. Many of these- giv< great promise and several prophet of the kicking game hold to the opin ion that there will be a herd of dar.' horses in the soccer classic soon V i get under way.

Cooperative Unions Organized to Op pose Germans and Bolsheviki. Tokio, Sept. 25 (Correspondence of The Associated Press;?Failure of the Bolsheviki to control Siberia was partly due to the fact that the leader* of the Provisional Siberian G'rovern ment have organized "cooperative unions" throughout the country which have welded the people intc one great family, hostile alike to the blandishments of radicalism and of the Germans. Twenty-nine of these bodies were formed in villages and counties short ly after the beginning of the revolu tion, according to Arcady Petroff. deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs or Autonomous Siberia, now in Tokio and number about 100,000 conserva tive Socialists, democrats and army officers of the former regime living in the region between {'ral and Irkutsk These organizations are secret and. while each is separate and independ ent entity, all are united for mutual I benefit for the maintenance of chi Provisional government, financing and ' the trahsatcion of business. ! Mr. Petroff declared it was owing I to the assistance of these societies i (providing arms, munitions, food .-:;?<? clothing thai the Czecho-Slovaks hav I been so succesful against the Lenine Tiotzky troops. The people of Si J beria. he said, were anxious when h* : left Siberia to sec the country alone the railway cleared of the Bo&hevh and order and tranquility restdjtd b;? ; the Allies. \. Contrary t-> inspired German V pprts, Mr. Petroff stated. there \ only (me government in Siberia. LhV : Provisonal government for Autono mous Siberia.

I - DOGS AS CARRIERS. flow They Arc Trained lor Ser ?' oil the Front. .' A Dog Training Camp in France, ?ept. 25 (Correspondence of The As sociated Press)?A war dog's dinner Jell is a bomb. When all is ready or the meal, men standing near lugout craters close 10 the kennels throw in fused hand grenades, and ?ight and left all over the place there ire terrific explosions with clouds cl smoke and dust. The dogs arc not'frightened, for they have been taught that explo nosis are merely the prelude to a neal. As the grenades go off the "dog-men" run down the line, push ng eaeh dog's plate of learning ood within reach, so th. ?>' are served at the same time. This training- teaches the dogs, car rying messages at th" front to pass .hrough the heaviest barrage with out fear, believing that the only par pose of all the racket is to announce .lis dinner. Arriving with the message it headquarters, the doj,' at once rinds his waiting master, wjto detaches the message from tin- collar receptacle and immediately rewards the animal ?vith food, in this way communica tions can he maintained with advanc ed elements of troops without lir sacrifice of human lif??. The advantages of a dog messenger are many. The dog- of course run. much more quickly than a man messenger, and presents a far more difficult target for enemy snipers. In the case of small Karrisons in out ly ings posts, the sending of soldier run ners seriously weakens the lighting power of the unit, besides exposing the messengers to all the perils of a fire-swept zone. Experience has proved that a combination of dog and carier pigeon service is. if not more reliable than that of the hu man runners, very much more ef ficient. It is of the utmost importance thai the deg of war be safeguarded from all blandishments and temptations tu linger among new-found friends, fo: f \x-rything depends, when he is re leased, upon his bolting straight bad with his precious message to his mas ter. As food is the reward for faith ful services, no one but the mastei may give the dog even a scrap 02 : meat. I AN AIRPLANE AFIRE. Thrilling Experience of Two Men and Their Narrow Escape From Death. A British Airdrome in France, Sep1 15 (Correspondence of The Associat ed Press)?An artillery observation plane caught fire while trying to ob tain the range of a bridge. Did th airmen attempt a landing to escap< the flames or did they remain alof to complete their tasks ? The pilot of the plane gives the an swer in his own words. "I switched off the petrol supply and opened cut the throttle," he said "One steep, swift drive, and the fir was out. "'Then I hesitated. Should we hur ry off for home and safety, or con tinue the shoot, in which a very littl< more observing would bring complete success? I turned to the observer He leaned over and inspected the damage. It was not very bad really He shouted into my ear: "Let's carry on! "I climbed again. Our battery was very soon tiring as a battery?all guns?our last messages having com pleted the registration; and now shells were dropping all about the target Our part was done and in a few min utes' time the bridge was entirely destroyed. In our excitement th faulty engine had been forgotten, until, with one last splutter, it gavt out completely, it stopped. ?'The machine was really on fire this time, and 1 was too late. Th wood-work was burning, independent ly of petrol or exhaust, and to dive now would only fan the flames about my feet. Yet we had to get to the ground, and very quickly too. "I put the machine into a violen: side-slip away from the lines. Th? flames were thus fanned towards the opposite wing. The observer, lean ing over my shoulder, squirted his fire extinguisher about my feet. Thi enabled me to keep control of th rudder bar. We were .down to 1.500 feet, but the heat was now intense. "The fire had reached the right wing. I pushed down the nose to has ten our decent, keeping the machine also in a side-slip. The rush of ah slightly changed the direction of th' flames. We were nearly down. Th ground rushed towards us. I took off the "bank" and "flattened out." Om landing wheel touched with a bump broke away and continued its cours? independently. The machine pirouet ted on the remaining wheel, and dual ly crashed on its nose and left wing. "Springing to the groundi we hur ried away from the burning wrec:-: only just in time, for a few second later the petrol tank exploded." Red Cross Funds.

The determination of the American ; commander to secure a'rigid enforce ment of Iiis anti-drunkenness and j anti-immorality regulation was indi j cated in a letter written by General Pershing appointing representative Jto a British-American conference on i the subject, in which he said: "The gravest responsibility rests on i those to whom the parents of our sol i dices have entrusted their sons to th< battle and we f;iil if we neglect any] effort, to safeguard them in every way. We have the common ground of hu manity: we have the weit considered conclusions of the best scientific minds on our side, and from the fact that, in this war of nations in arms the soldier is merely a citizen on wai service, we have all the elements which will force cooperation be tween military and civilian authori ties."
