V - ' jHEf The Chesterheld Advertiser PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY Subscription, $1.00 a year. Entered as second-class matter at the postofflce at Chesterfield, South Carolina. PAUL H. HEARN Editor and Publisher. There is an old quotation to the effect that Providence is on the side of the bippest artillery. It is our belief, however, that old Satan was astride of the German's hip pun that killed so many worshippers in the church in Paris. A FINE ILLUSTRATION One of the most significant unci most beautiful designs inspired by the war is that on the cover of the Literary Digest of April 13. It represents a soldier with an anxious, strained countenance looking out of a trench on the battle line. Then there appears in the sky a rainbow with bright stars on the side and with brilliant red, white and blue stripes. The American boys are coming over the sea to help the Allies fight for the world's freedom?freedom from autocracy, despotism, tyranny. While all the leading journals are doing their share of patriotic work in connection with the world war, none of them is doing more efficient help than The Literary Digest. The cover pages of this publication are always of the finest designs but this particular cover is inimitable. GERMAN ATROCITY In the Augusta Chronicle Mr. N. L. Millet writes daily plant hints that are very valuable to the farmer ? U.. t 11 4 ? - M ~ ivavivi(rt ui tuai fAtt'llt'llL pilplT. Ail. Willet is the soul of patriotism, mixing with all of his articles, sentiment to inspire his readers with love of their country and detestation of Germany and German atrocity. In a recent issue under the head "Every food seed planted is a bullet against Germany," Mr. Willet had this thrilling paragraph: "There is today a trail of women from northern invaded France to i-outhern France. Tht..e are girls 14 years of age, nuns from the nunneries and middleaged women, unmarried and married. These women are, practically all, about to become unwilling mothers at the hands of the unthinkable savages and pagan German soldiers. And true it is when you read this you are as a ir;.n ready to light; for this is what awaits American women if German soldiers put their feet on this country. In order to prevent their coming over here our boys have gone to the trenches over there." LIBERTY AND EDUCATION In another column appears a letter from Mr. Peter C. Campbell, Chesterfield County's well-known exponent of "peace and liberty." Mr. Campbell is here found attacking the new compulsory education law, believing, as he says, such a law is tainted with "Germifnism." While we will not enter a prolonged controversy, we must this time tike issue with Mr. Campbell. We believe he has entirely misconstrued the meaning of the precious word '"Liberty" as applied to American institutions. John Stewart Mills, one of our greatest political writers on democratic principles, said: "My liberty ends when it begins to involve the possibility of ruin to my neighbor." ; There is, then, no such thing in 1 the world as complete personal liberty. In whatever direction one may ' turn he is sure to find his liberties in-: terferred with when they begin to interfere with the rights and liber-; tie* of others. Only in the middle of , a desert, far removed from every! other hunrmn h?>incr / nnlil ,.rw> !: ?.. I the type of liberty that Mr. Campbell craves. This type of personal liberty is being tried in Russia with dsastorous results. Anarchy reigns in that unhappy country and vast numbers of the inhabitants are now wearing the galling yoke of Germany. Hut to return to Chesterfield county once more. This law will rob no one of his just rights. Only the man who claims the right to rear his children in the disgraceful bondage of ignorance will feel the ecect of this law. This law is based on the belief, now everywhere accepted, that no man has the right in this bberty-Ioving country to wilfully stunt the intellect and darken the s ? lis of his children.

I am always glad to hear from li home and friends but feel that it would be unfair to ask you to write k more often because I must remember .hat I am not the only one who is expecting and awaiting mail from home. , The books came this week and I am nrely glad to get them but do not end me anything more that I can * co. ivy aside when through because ! have no place to keep them. Just ' n old South Carolina paper occaionally will be appreciated. Aunt disc wrote me a few days ..go that she wanted to know what I P liked best in the way of "eats".

Mother, I was very much disap- 11 pointed when I learned that 1 would nut be given a furlough yet as 1 had wished, but maybe 1 will later. 1 had k planned to go by for Lee at his commencement but guess I cannot.

Much love to all, Your devoted son, |, George. ( From Loom Burch, in training, to his brother, John 11. Burch. j Jrd Prov. Reg. t lliJth Co., U. S. M. C. Azua, D. R. . My dear brother, 1 just wonder what you are doing | these warm sunny days, but you may not agree with me when I say it is \ warm, will you? It is almost as warm now as in July it seems to me. j Guess the summer will seem long as it is already here. I Johnny, 1 hear that men are going to be drafted for government work t outside the army?in one sense it will he the "Army at Home" supply- c ing the men at the front. Please write me about forty pages ami tell ( ne all about present conditions and prospects. I hear so very little here . that I feel if 1 were turned loose in "Old U. S. A." in a library I would ( bury myself and not wake for weeks. I kept right well posted as to thv* i happenings across the water while at Santo Domingo but now 1 hear very j little. The last 1 heard the Jews had not regained Jerusalem. I long to j see the day when they can go back a.id possess it as their future and \ permanent home. My blood is boiling for an oppor- j iunity to help conquer the foe and restore peace and liberty to those ^ ctvelly treated nations, but am helpless and can only go where I am sent, j but one great and consoling thought is that "peace may be near." ^ Well, brother, have you been called into service yet? Lis'cn, should y ju ( be called to go you will meet much opposition in the way of moral liv- ^ ing and unlimited temptations hut stand firm and you will have nothing j to regret. Morally, I have seen many fall, but thanks to that stubborn will, \ a few have stood the test. Some have a;d that one is not supposed to live c as e'ean life in the service as at home but, listen, can we win this war in- * side the saloon, in the palace of profanity or by might alone? No, vie- \ tor.v with honor for Liberty and God must and shall he won through vir- j tue and might. I remember a man from Charlotte, N. C., addressing our j, 0?1 1 r* i " mrnn; scnuui i inss m ororpiown, S. C. who said, "Boys, bo men and to j bo that you must bo mentally, morally and spiritually equipped.

J By DR. ROBERT M. McELROY. | Educational Director of tho National 8ocurlty League. 1 1 Why does America fight Germany? Our Ideals are threatened with destruction, and we must fight to maintain them. We are fighting for thoughts, the j 'dreams, the Ideals, thj asplratlons, which to any ure suuiihuk ? '^1 In the vast poly- I K I o t community i . which call the i 'M 8| what we are flghtIng we AmerBBWwlll^EaaK^^ leans, whether of j BHHKSHHBSSH English blood, of ! French or Italian ' Dr. R. M. McElroy or Russian or Spanish blood. What have we In common to cause us to rise at the call of a common Impulse and prepare to die for a common cause? It would be easy to formulate the characteristic dreams of the Russian, the Italian, the Relgtan, the Scotch, the Irish or the Portuguese. It would be possible to cntcli the gleam of Idealism which has given to the French the glorious title of the "Hero Nation." Rut none of these would sufflce. We must take a cross section of all of them, and a dozen more, to formulate the Ideals which coarse In common through them all after they have been united into what we call Americu. For It is common Ideals which have transformed the men and women of all these races and kindreds and tongues into our nation, which stands toduy facing the griin fact of wht, a war to which no mun dare call thein In the name of "race, or lunguage, or previous allegiance. World Citizenship. The Presldeut has placed our Intervention In this war upon a plane of idealism to which every citizen, of u/h ntpviir rn r?o ma u rullu w ltKr?nt 1 InK hold upon the best traditions of the laud from which hla forefathers have come. It Is not the call of a narrow nationalism, but the call of world citizenship. Our entrance into this war Is no concession to the accursed gospel of force and fraud. We wish nothing for ourselves. but have resolved (to quote the oft quoted words of our President) that "tho world must be made safe for democracy?and Its peace?planned upon the trusted basis of political liberty." We scorn the Idea that "might Is right." but we are willing to tuke our part In policing the world against the madmen who act upon that doctrine. "How High Your Ideals?" History will not ask us or any other nation, "How big was your army?" but "How high were your Ideals!" Not "How vast your navy?" but "What was your devotion to duty?" Not "How quickly could you mobilize?" but "What thought have you contributed ! toward the betterment of mankind?" To those questions Germany can answer, "I contributed to the world the ldeu of representation," for, as Montesquieu tells us, the representative Idea was "horn In the forests of Germany." She will have to confess, however, that she cast it out, a naked Infant, In order to make room for the throne of the great, black Idol, military power, and today America and her allies are 1 marching In resistless columns, carry; tng that foundling back to Its home. i WHAT THE VICTORY OR DEFEAT OF GERMANY MEANS TO EVERY AMERICAN. (Contributed by PRINCE and PRIN (viwii i ii'.iinri inVUI>m/j|VUI to the National Security League's campaign of Patriotism Through Education). What the German government means by a "place in the sun" Is the extermination of the peoples whose soil It covets so that Germans tnay replace those lhut have been exterminated. The systematic destruction of civilI luns In Belgium, northern France, Poland, Serbia, and the actual enslavei nient of the survivors proves It?the frequently boasted German "policy of blood and Iron" and the "Ilymn of Hate," which has become a national hymn, proclaims It From the rudlmental condition of ancient barbarism, u spiritual development was possible; from the accomplished Inhqpianlty of Prusslanlsm, a more rigid Inhumanity only Is possibly. A German victory would mean the | blight of what we call clvlllr.atlon and > the elimination of what we believe divine in man. What we believe In. what we cherl9h, what we are, would be annihilated by the essence of Prusslanlsm; our world would be destroyed j by Prnsslc acid. ?7", - | 180 acres in Ousley school district known as Willie Johnson land.

It has done much for me during the past ten years and I keep It In the house continually. I was in such a condition that I could eat nothing but bread and milk, and even that waa too heavy for me at times. Now, I can eat anything. I will recommend Peruna to all ray friends."
