Hollander who recently dined with the former German Emperor at Ben- 1 tinck Castle told the Associated Press j correspondent that the exiled ruler j almost monopolized the conversation i at the dinner table. Speaking on all manner of interna- | tional subjects, he gave little oppor- ! tunity for the other diners to speak, j and, after dinner talking about the; defeat.of the Russian armies early in' the war. he.illustrated w?th maps just; how it was done.

SENATOR DIAL BLOCKS MOVE Objects to Extending Embargo on Dye-Stuffs Washington, Nov. 15.?Senator N. B. Dial has thrown a bombshell into the cam]) of those who have been trying to get the embargo on dyestuffs ex tended and Inade absolute. He has in terposed objections to the considera tion by unanimous consent of a reso lution to prohibit their importation until Jan. 15 next pending action on permanent legislation for the protec tion <>f domestic dyestuff producers. As, the law now stands, the,embargo will go out of effect on the proclamation of peace. Senator Dial was asked by The News j and Courier correspondent why he had objected and replied that he was in favor of proper protection of the home dyestuff industry, but was op- j posed to any step that might run the price of cloth to an unreasonable height and thus injure both the de-, mestic and foreign trade of this coun try. He explained that he would be willing to see the present system ex tended giving the government power to admit foreign dyes by license and j thUvS regulate the trade in the just interests of all. Senator Dial has received a number of telegrams from cotton mill men in South Carolina and elsewhere o.l j which the following is^a sample: "Very: important for cotton mill industry' that fore'ign fast color dyes are admit-1 ted without further delay . or hind rance. Cotton mill manufacturers have $1.500,0000,G(rO'>Kirtnig cloth re quiring-'these dyes. Unable to deliver without them. Meanwhile many mil lion dollars of these shirtings wirh fast dyes have been recently bought in ; England for importation to this coun try. Our print works have many thou sand pieces held up for lack of fast coo Irs. Will certainly lose export trade in shirtings unless permitted to I secure dyes available to foreign com petitors." ' Some compromise in the matter, is probable. In the meanwhile ihc junior) South Carolina senator has the wheels stopped by the utterance of only two ! little words, "I object." . .

Because the war made so many new openings in the ousiness -world for highly trained women, thousands have been drawn from the field for nursing, resulting in a great shortage of nurses in all hospitals throughout the State, declares Dr. C.

Williams, Superin tendent of the State Hospital for^the Insane, at Columbia He also points out that the situation is becoming so acute at the State Institution that he has been forced to send out a call for young women. "In order that our patients may re-, ceive the proper nursing and care," he asserts, "we must have more young women." While they are in* training many advantages are offered them which no other profession offers. Young women between the ages of 18 and 3"> are needed badly.

A posse of 40 men today scoured the country in the neighborhood of yesterday's fight and a special detail of men had boen charged with the recovery of Haney's body. Members of the first posse said it was probable the recovery of Haney's body would be attended by further bloodshed, because of fact that he fell within 100 yards of Hn'nter's cabin, wherein the I.
