ROCK HILL HEARS
PATRIOTIC NOTE
Rock Ilill, Aug. 7.?With 175 delegates
the State council of the Junior
Order of United American Mechanics
met here tonight. The opening session
developed an inspiring patriotic
note. R. S. Stewart of Lancaster,
who delivered the principal address of
the evening, sounded a clarion call to
service.
Dr. J. B. Johnson presided, Mayor
Sturgis was in Columbia and Councilman
Stevens made the jwhlreas nf ?/?!
come on behalf of the city. Max
Bryan spoke for the fraternal orders.
The response to the address of welcome
for the city was made by J. H.
Hamel, of Kershaw, State treasurer.
Mr. Stewart's ringing words were
in response to the welcoming address
delivered by Mr. Bryant for the fraternal
orders. "The man who attempts
to thwart the work of the government
is a worse traitor than Benedict
Arnold," declared the speaker
from the Red Rose County. "No
true patriot will say aught in criticism
of the government in this crisis,"
he continued. "This is the time for
every man to rally around the flag
and none has ever had a greater opportunity
to show his loyalty to his
country and his government."
The Rev. J. L. Tyler delegate, and
Mr. W. R. Huneycutt, district counsellor,
attended this convention.

Washington, Aug. 5.?About four t
out of five men are expected to claim t
exemption from selective service. This j
announcement conies from Provost1 jj
General Crowder's office. A much p
smaller per cent, will be exempted. i t
"Small towns in country regions <]
are expected to show a larger percent- : t
age of men willing to accept service t
than big cities like New York," said j i
one of the high officials in charge of J p
this matter. |v
"The foreign born population of I
New York is opposed to compulsory v
military service, many of them having
left their countries to avoid it. We sire t
not Surprised at the number of claims r
for exemptions filed. t
The question whether to exempt a o
physically fit man is up to each local
board. The board is required to cer- t
Lify the quota required from its dis- c
trict and if the board excuses the first '
men who present themselves, they ^
must refuse to excuse those who later
present themselves. Somebody must tl
serve. t
Work of physically and otherwise Sl
examining drafted men will probably j.
continue for thirty days. General p
Crowder's office is hoping to have a j|
lomplcte roster of 650,000 men ready w
by the time the cantonments are t<
ready. The cantonments are c
promised for September 1; as a matter
of fact they will not be ready b
September 1. General Littel talks jr
lopefully and quite enthusiastically b
is to what has been accomplished up b
,o date, but has not promised that the
soldier cities will be really ready at si
he end of the next thirtv dnvs.
"We have accomplished miracles," E
laid he, "but promising i? risky. A a
ot depends on whether the last ship- d
nent of lumber, water pipe or sewer a
lipe comes through. Delay in some b
essential consignment might hold up a
:ompletion of any of thees projects." h
Probably most of the cantonments t]
vill have water systems in operation
ind be under roof by September 15. s]
Dy October 1 they may have their b
Jther fixings in place, including some si
[lavements. It is doubtful whether ti
he men called for selective service c
.vill be actually put in these camps c
icforc October, since Secretary Bak- li
?r has repeatedly announced he would
lot crowd a lot of new recruits into c-1
infinished barracks. n
General Gorgas, as chief of sani- s<
ary arrangements, must pass 011 any A
irmy camp before it begins to house st
iien. If everything is completed to ti
nake the camp sanitary, the men may U
issemble, even if the final trimmings ei
ire not completed. But, if necessary si
.0 wait until November, the men are
.0 be made comfortable and kept e
lealthy. n
General Crowder will probably c
iced the six weeks for getting his men
ust as much as General Littell will
leed this time to build his soldier J]
:ities . Local exemption boards are
vorking slowly. When they have d
inishcd, there is still a job to be done

FRAME FINAL PLANS f
FOR NATIONAL ARMY
s
Washington, Aug. 7.?Provost Mar- v
ihal General Crowder and his assisttants
are at work on the final set of f
regulations to be proniolpated this j
week to complete the organization of ;
the selctive draft war army. They
will govern actual mobilization of the
men selected.
Statements issued today by the war 1
department show that preliminar y
figures place the total force of National
Guard taken in.the federal service
August f> at 13,093 officers and
419,834 men. Another statement t
showed that 180,7(10 war volunteers <
huve been recruited for the regular \
service since April 1, leaving only \
about 2,000 vacancies in the regulars (
at war strength. <
These figures mean that approximately
725,000 men are under arms, 1
exclusive of the navy and marine \
corps, to be supplemented within the i
next few weeks by (187,000 raised un
dor the selective draft. Of the latter j
number 500,000 will compose the
third great element of the war army,
the new National Army, and the remainder
will go to fill up the regulars I
and the guard and their reserves.
The mobilization regulations will
show how the drafted men are to be I
assigned. Already the war depart- i
ment has received countless applications
from men certain to be cnllei 1
in the first increment of the draft
forces for assignment to some par-li
ticular arm or hrach of the service.
IAPAN READY WITH SHIPS AND
MEN TO HELP BEAT U-BOATS
Washington, D. C., Aug. 4.?When
he Japanese war mission arrives in
his eoutnry, the best and wilest Niplonese
diplomatic brain will be pitted
igainst Uncle Sam in on<f of the
greatest bargaining matches in hisory.
Upon the outcome will largely
lepend not only the future of hithero
troubled relations between the
Tnited States and Japan, but the stublizing
of the Russian war front, the
rreater participation of Italy in the
?ar, the circumvention of the German
J-boat campaign and, possibly, the
cry decision of the war itself.
The Japanese will have two great
rump cards to play. They have a
nerchant marine of nearly 2,500,000
on and a magnificently trained army
f more than 2,000,000 men.. !
The Japs have made money out of
he war, so much they are now if
rcditor instead of a debtor nation,
'hey are willing to continue making
loney by selling ammunition and arillery
to Russia.
But they want something more
han money for their ships and their
roops. Thoy would like to have a
ettlement with this country over the
ind and immigration questions in the
'acific coast states. And even more
nportant from their viewpoint, they
rould like to have Uncle Sam agree
r> their having a free hand with
hina.
The American policy in China has
een the open door. If Japan is
iven her way, the door will not only
e closed, it will be shut with a revercrating
bang.
Every impulse of the American
tatesmen will be to insist upon the
pen door. But just about that time
uropean statesmen, representing our
will nnint nuf ? ?-?

0 for the cause. She can send sever- <
1 hundred thousand men into Russia i
y the Siberian line and these trained
nd perfectly equiped troops would
elp stiffen the Russian troops facing
ie Germans and Austriar.s.
Rut even more vital are Japan's
hips. Italy has over 4,000,000 men,
ut not enough ammunition, because
he lacks steel and coal. She has ,
roops to spare if she can get these
ommodities. Japanese ships could
arry American steel and coal to 1
taly and food to the allies. 1
To pour Japan's tremendous mer- t
hant marine through the Panama ca- ,
al, load it at American ports, and
jnd it across the ocean convoyed by
merican, Japanese and allied de- 1
royers would be in a large measure
> defeat German U-boats plans until J
ie American shipping board could %
unslruet its tremendous number of
s
hips.
The only question at issue is whethr
Uncle Sam will pay the price in ^
loney, in immigration laws and in a f
losed China. '
TO DPMIMO vnn
- ^ miy I VU
[ousewives and Club Members:
You are doing some canning every
ay now, I hope.
An hour or so every day spent in 1
anning will result in gallons of food
ived for winter use. The large numer
of gardens which have been plantd
are yielding their great harvest of
eans, peas, corn and tomatoes.
Not to conserve the surplus of valuble
food by canning and preserving
r drying would be a sinful waste,
banning calls for no special skill and
or little equipment beyond a wash
ioiler and jars or cans. The chief,
equirements are fresh products,
leanliness and heat.
Canned food will be needed next
/inter as they were never needed beore.
Let your slogan therefore be:
Can all the food you can; dry the
ucculent foods which cannot be kept
/ell otherwise."
In canning specialize on nutritious
oods and concentrate to small bulk
iy cooking down all vegetables high
n water content.

THIS CANADIAN REGIMENT
TAKES NO GERMAN PRISONERS
With the ferocity of tigers a Canidian
regiment has been plowing into
he Germans ever since one member
.f ^ -
i uiu rcKinii'ni was cruciiicd in full
dew of the others. Anions those who
vitnessed the grewsome display of
jt-rnian frightfulness was a young
ifiieer, a brother of the crucified boy.
The young man had been captured
>y the Germans in a skirminsh on the
vestern front. Shortly afterward a
ross was raised above the German
rench, and nailed to it was the Canidian
soldier. The sight of the huge
ipikes driven through the boy's hands
ind feet shocked the whole regiment.
As the ofliccr saw his younger
brother writhing on the cross he seizor
a rifle an?l ended his kinsman's
differing. The Canadians then attacked
the Germans with the fury of
lemons.
In writing to a relative, Henry C.
Evans, of Baltimore, who is with the j
American Aerial service in France,
said, "That Canadian regiment has
not taken a prisoner since."
Women Organize ii
Conservation ai
The women of Chesterfield County
are organizing to do their bit for their
country and the Allies.
There was a joint meeting yesterday
at the home of Mrs. W. J. Hanna
of the Chesterfield lied Cross Society
and the County branch of the United
States Food Administration.
This meeting was presided over by
Mrs. Harriett 1\ Lynch, who has been
requested by the South Carolina Wo
man's Council of Defense to organize
this county.
The local Red Cross Society is already
organized and is now planning
some active work.
The food conservation work, however,
is new.
Cards like the one printed recently
will be printed and distributed and it
is- hoped that every woman will show
her pjatriotism and spirit of co-operation
by signing ami returning the
curd.
"I do hope," said Mrs. Lynch in
onversation with the editor, "that the
women of-our county will realize the
tremendous importance of food conservation
and co-operation at this
time. When one remembers that there
are 20 million home* in this country
and that one ounce of bacon saved by
these homes eaeh bay for one year
will aggregate 45G,(Jt>b,000 pounds,
the importance of this movement can
...... 1
"People must net rid of the notion
that it is alright to f *cd buscuits, potatoes
and cornbread to chickens ami
pigs . These are to*> expensive to 1)4
thus used and they are needed by our
soldiers and the soldiers of our allies.
Belgian children are starving for
them. We must remember that every
ounce we save will mean one ounce
more toward ending this cruel war
START PREPARING FOR
A FALL GARDEN NOW
Clemson College, S. C., August?
A small amount of time and labor
spent in the preparation and planting
of a fall garden will bring valiable
returns, aside from the plcasire
of having fresh vegetables for
he table during the dry winter
nonths. Following is a list of vegeibles
that may be included in the
all garden:
Beets?Sow the seed the last o?
September. Plants will stand the
vinter and produce beets for early
tpring use.
Cabbage?Good plants of the
iVakefield variety, if set now will
'orm heads before the cold weather.
tVith slight protection both cabbage
aid collards will curry through our
worst winters.
Kale?Seed sown during September
will produce an abundance of
jreens during winter and early spring.
.Siberian curled is a good fall variety.
Lettuce ?Sow Big Boston variety
for a supply of delightful salad during
fall and winter. With slight proLection
firm heads can be produced.
Mustard?Mustard will stand any
amount of cold and seed sown during
September will furnish greens
