MEDIATION IN WAR Roman Popes, From Earliest Time Deemed It Privilege. First Instance Dates From 409, When Effort Was Made to Arrange Peace With Goth Leader. From the earliest time of papacy, popes, as the religious heads of tho Catholic church, have considered it their task to intercede as mediators in temporal disputes, observes a historian. l ollowing are a few instances: As eariy us 409. when Alaric 1 declared lie \< mild withdraw from Rome only on condition that the Romans should arrange a peace favorable to' him, S. Innocent I went with an embassy of the IV 'bans to Emperor Ilonerius, at Kavefinu, to try, if possible, to make p? ace with him and the Cloths, but falb'd in his endeavors to bring about peace. More successful was J Gregory I, who played the same parti on the occasion of the invasion of Italy j by the Lombards, owing to Ids friend-; ship wit it the Lotnbardian queen Theu- j dulindti, he actually mediated a favorable peace. When northern Italy was devastated by Attila the veto table bishop of IJome. Leo I?the lirst of the great popes?by a personal encounter! with the king of the linns, prevented him ftoat marching upon Itome. lie went in 452 to upper Italy, and met Attila at Mineio, in the vicinity of Mantua, obtaining from hint the promise that he would withdraw from Italy and negotiate peace with the emperor.' This pope also succeeded in obtaining another favor for the inhabitants of i Home. When in 455 the city was cap- i tared by the Vandals under Geneseric, J the "scourge of God," Leo's intercos-l sion obtained a promise that the city! should not he Injured and the lives of the Inhabitants should be spared. Another pope, Benedict the Twelfth, who from 1334 to 1342 occupied the holy sec, was as unsuccessful as a mediator as the present supreme pontiff At that time Charles IV of France j had died without leaving an heir, and j when his cousin, Philip VI, put the | crown on his head, his right to do so : was contested by Edward III of Eng-1 land. Benedict XII, who wanted to! mediate, was not listened to, and there i ensued hostilities lasting, with some' Interruptions, for a hundred years. The popes mediated successfully between Christian opponents In cases) where It was Important to unite them In the common cause of Christianity j against Turkey. Pope Gregory (1271-1270), for the sake of a crusade against the Turks, worked lndefatlgahly upon n reconciliation of the princes in Italy and Germany, and Paul III (1534-1549), nearly three centuries later, tried to prevent a war between Spain and France. Clement IX aided Venice) against the Turks by mediating the j ncace between Louis XIV nn<l Sn?in I etc. What You've Been Waiting For.

Paper Money's Nicknames. Now tliut paper money Is a perma, nent part of our pocket currency, we await the inevitable nickname for the notes, which is sure to come, says the London Chronicle. If we follow the precedent set across the Atlantic In 18C2, when "greenbacks" first made their appearance, we might he satisfied with "Westminster," with reference to the very ndmirahle lithograph of the palace which adorns the reverse of the new notes. Something better than that is sure to come along. Tn the army the notes are known as "OTs," In Jocular allusion to the remarkably narrow chest which the artist hns given St. George, who Is In conflict with a very robust drugon. I You Can't Eat Your Cake and Have It Rut You Can Poach Your Egg and Eat the Hen Later Washington, Feb. 20.?Appreciation of this fact, the poultry specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture say, will add 150,000,000 eggs to our food supply this year without reducing our supply of chicken meat. Investigators have found that because poultry brings 2 cents a pound more in winter than in late spring, many farmers in the South have been throwing away valuable egg profit just to get 8 cents more per hen. They believe that if farmers will keep their laying hens and sell their eggs and then market the birds in the late spring, they will not only add to the food supply, but actually increase their profits -">0 cents per hen, Lockhart Remembers Her Hoys in France The people of Tjorkhnrt and romniunity sent ?"20.00 worth of cigars, cigarettes, candy and chewing gum t<> eleven of the Lockhart boys today who are in France with Co.

Another patriot from this community has answered the call to the colors by enlistincr in the United Stages Army. Willie Gaden is now on duty at Fort Serene, near Savannah, Ga., in the Infantry branch of the service. Union county is the only county in South Carolina which filled it entire gross quota by voluntary enlistments, and therefore did not need to contribute any man under the selectiveservice act. The fact that its quota is filled, however, only seems to encourage voluntary enlistment all the more, for many young men are each week heintr sworn into the armv. thus pledging "allegance to my flag, and the country for which it stands.
