The Chesterfield Advertiser*' PUBLISHED KVKIIY THURSDAY Subscription. 91-00 a year. % Entered as second-class matter at the postottlce at Chesterlleld. South Caro"oa. PAUL M. HRAHN Editor and Publisher. AN EMBARGO It may mean to our farmers u slightly reduced price for cotton, corn, wheat and other farm products. It may mean a slight money loss to some shipping interests of this country. Therefore, if the President should proclaim a strict embargo on all products that might possibly be of aid to the world's enemy, a howl will certainly be heard in the land. Whenever this selfish yell is heard let the hearers bear this in mind. ' Every bushel of food, every pound o1* cotton, every ton of iron that we sell to neutrals iti Europe helps to lengthen the war and to bring death to our Aneriean soldiers." Now that many boys from our own county will soon be fighting in France, there should he some potency in this argument. It is well known that cotton seed meal, corn, cotton, wheat, etc. shipped to "neutrals" have either directly or indirectly been of great help to Germany in her campaign of murder, rapine, arson and pillage. The Manufacturer's Record remarks: "Germany and hell are synomymous." A hea?Uine say "Russia is about to find herself." If it is all the same t< Russia would like for her to find the Germans and give *em :i good old time beating. OUR BOYS IN FRANCE Some Georgia, boys who tire now "Somewhere in France" write the most cheerful letters to their home folks. One of them writes: "1 am glad that 1 am in France. The life is fine and 1 wish some of my boy friends were here with me." Another writes: "1 never felt better ir my life. Don't worry about me. I'll come out till right. 1 ant charmed with tin* French peopie. I am having the time of my life. It is a glorious life." WANTS A NEW BIBLE A (iernian newsjxiper in Berlin wants to make a new Bible. The pap.-r says: "We mus produce for the moral un!;ft inc of i ::it ' nil a new. a more jjlori- a purer Bible, instinct with the German spirit of culture and morality." A Bible that would approve of the horrible treatment of Belgians and the jrirls of France, as related in si recent issue of The Advertise-, such a Bible would doubtless please the Kniser. GERMANY'S DESIGN IN THE WAR 1 The Gorman defense of the war as stat-'d l?y a gloat German writer anil politician. Professor von Flussen, is very blunt?almost brutal. "If Germany wins it will prove that sin- is on the right way, and that the r st of the world is on the wrong way and should, for the sake of the right evolution of the human race bo stopped and put on the right way or else be destroyed." And yet there ar-- people who say u is all right to fight Germany, if her armies and navies come I > our shores, but it is all wrong to go over the sea to light that country. Do such people real; :e that if Germany is allowed to wh.p the Allies it would Inonly a matter of a few weeks or months when we would have to fight Germany without the aid of the Allies.

HARRY LAUDER'S SORROW Harry Lauder, the great Scotch vaudeville artist, lost his only son on the Frenrh from not long ago. Hisj visit to the son's grave is thus describ- i ed: The father leaned over the grave to read what was written there. Ikknelt down, indeed he lay upon the grave and clutched it the while his body shook with the grief he felt. When the storm had spent itself lnrose and prayed: "() Cod, that I could have but one request. It would ( be that I might embrace my laddie just this once and thank him for what he has done for his country and humanity." That was all, not a word of bitterpeas or complaint. 1 /' *? BELIEVES IT BETTER THAN ANY OTHER USED MRS. McALlSTER, OF GREENVILLE, MAKES INTERESTING STATEMENT DAUGHTER AIDED MUCH Trouble! Gone, Her Daughter "I? Back at Work Now," She Says. "Tanlac is a good medicine, and I am glad to say I think it as good or better than any other remedy I have ever used," declared Mrs. J. T. McAlister, of No. 'J Bryant St., Brandon, Greenville, in a statement she nave June 2nd. "My daughter took Tanlac because she was suffering from a badiy weakened condition, and she was so sick she was just able to be out >f bed. Her appetite had left her and she didn't eat anything at all hardly. All the time she complained of pains in her side and of headaches. "But the Tanlac soon had her strong and well and she went back to vork and is working degularly now. It .rave her a good appetite and built jp her entire system.

After we were aboard of it we proceeded nt tho dizzy rate of about four miles an hour, and our regular company humorist? no company complete without one? suggested that they were afraid, if I hey went any faster, tliey might run off tlie island before they could stop. We were taken to Hramshott camp, in Hampshire, twelve miles from the Aldershot school of command. Tho next day we were given "king's leave" ?eight days, with free transportation nuywhere in the British Isles. It is the invariable custom to give this sort ?f leave to nil colonial troops immedlitely upon their arrival in England. However, in our case Ireland was barred.

On June 2, after the third battle of Ypres, while McFarland and I were sitting wearily on our bunks during a strange hour In the afternoon when : ( nobody had thought of anything for ! us to do, a soldier came in with a { message from headquarters which put a sudden stop to tiie discussion we were having about the possibility of getting leave to go up to Ixmdou. The message was that tho First, Second and Third divisions of the Canadians had lost *10 per cent of their men in the third light at Ypres and that 1500 volunteers were wanted from each of our | | battalions to till up the gaps. I "Forty per cent," said McFarland, ' getting up quickly. "My God, think of j It! Well, I'm off to tell 'em I'll go." I I told him I was with him, and we started for iieadqaarters. expecting to I be received with applause and pointed out as heroic examples. We couldn't even get up to give in our names. The whole battalion had gone up ahead of us. They heard about It tlrst. That ' was the spirit of the Canadians, it whs about tills time that u story went round concerning an Fnglish colonel 1 who had heeu called upon to furnish volunteers from his outlit to replace ' casualties. lie hacked his regiment tip j against a barrack wall and said: 1 "Now, all who don't want to volute > j teer step three paces to the rear." In our battalion sergeants and even | officers offered to go as privates. Mc- | j Far la lid and I were not accepted; our volunteers went at once, and we were | i ' re-enforced up to strength by drafts from the Fifth t'aiiadian division, j which was then forming in Flighted, i In duly, when we were being kept ) on the rifle ranges most of the time, | ! all leave was stopped, ami we were i ordered to hold ourselves in readiness to go overseas. In the latter part of the month we started. We sailed from Southampton to Havre on a big transport, escorted all the way by destroyers. As we lauded we got our tirst sight of the harvest of war. A Idg hospital on the quay was filled with wounded men. We had twenty-four hours in what they called a "rest camp." We slept on cobblestones in sluieks whh li were so utterly comfortless that it would be an insult to a i Kentucky tlucoughlirisl to call tbem j stables. Then we were on the way to the I'elgiati town of Fopcrlnghc, wlileh is ire? miles from Havre and was at . that time the rail head of the Ypres 1 salient.
