EdiSon'S Method.

Thomas A. Edison, in Iron Age,
tells how he gets along without one
German product, and incidentally Of
fers a bit of good advice. He writes:
"Carbolic. acid is not obtainable in
this country. hence We are depend
ent on England and Germany. l am
the largest single user of carbolic
acid here, and the embargo placed
on shipments by England, together
with the impossibility of obtaining
any from Germany, has put me in a
pretty tight place. However, by
massing a big gang of men in three
shifts, have erected all the machin-
cry and apparatus for making car
bolic acid synthetically from benzol,
and my plant is now working, but I
shall manufacture only for my own
use in the production of phonograph
records. 1t occurs to me that there
are many things we are short of in
the chemical line that could be made
here quickly, if some people in the
trade would act-not talk This
very spirit of setting to work in the
South manufacturing the chemical
commodities is exactly what We are
advocating. Let's get capital and
chemist together.-Atlanta Journal.

American Red Cross.

To the people of South Carolina:
In asking your paper to present
this appeal in the name of human
ity from the American Red Cross l
shall be brief and not overtaX your
patience.
There is suffering and distress pre-
vailing in Europe today, the magni-
tude and depth of which never en-
tered the mind of man. The victims
now from conservative investigation
have reached the appalling number
of one million fatherless children,
and one hundred thousand widows.
Think OF it in the fear of God. These
are independent citizenship having
had all the comforts and conven-
fences of life in happy homes and
in charity with all the world.
A war for which no one can give a
reasonable cause came upon them like
a thunderDolt from a clear sky in
volving two-thirds of the nations of
the earth.
Those prosperous people living in
section of the war zone that has be-
come the theatre of the most bloody
and merciless war that has ever
blackened the story of civilization
have met with reverses and barbara
ties that reach Satanic cruelty.
Their crops have been destroyed,
their houses ruined and burned
their all gone-their all gone-this
is no overdrawn picture, it is almost
beyond our imagination. Shelterless,
clotheless, provisionless, in dismay,
hopeless, not knowing where to turn,
with no eye to pity and no arm to
save.
Ny friends and fellow citizens.
think of the situation and take it in
if you can. We plead and pray that
your hearts may be touched and your
pocket books opened.
Don't treat this petition with in
difference. 1t comes to each and
every one of you as a message from
above. "He that hath this worlds
goods and seeth his brother in need
and shutteth up his bowels Of COM
passion from him how dwelleth the
love of God in him
Send your contributions to the un-
dersigned, they will be most welcome
and promptly acknowledged and han
died.
In all modesty and esteem, I beg
to remain,

Wars Awful Death Cost.

Conservative estimates place the
losses Of the allies for the first five
weeks of the war at 100000, and
those of the Germans for the same
period at 100000, declares Leslie's
Weekly. According to the best in
formation Germany has more than
100000 men on her various battle
lines, so that in five weeks she has
lost say 10 per cent. Of her engaged
forces. The total number is appal-
ing, yet by comparison the losses on
either side have not been heavy. In
our own battle of Gettysburg there
were $4,000 federals and $4,000
Confederates engaged and the total
losses were federals $4,000, or 29
per cent, and Confederates 20,450,
or % per cent. At the battle Of Sa-
dowa, in 1866, the defeated Austrians
lost 44,400 out of 100000 engaged
or 21 per cent. At Waterloo, in
1915, the defeated French lost "a
per cent. of the $4,000 men engaged
and the victorious allies 10 per cent.
of their PA, 900. In their case, how
ever, little of the fighting was done
by the Prussians, the brunt Of the
losses being borne by the British and
Belgians. At Zorndorf, in 1853, the
Prussians had $1,000 men and lost
1900, or so per cent, while the
Russians, with $4,000 men, lost a.
900, or 4S per cent.
The loss of 100000 men to the
kaiser is not serious from military
standpoint. The war footing of the
German army is 100000. There
fore, the losses are under > per cent,
and thanks to small calibre rifles and
aseptic surgery. half Of the wounded
will be back with their commands in
a couple of months. In the mean
time a word from the emperor will
replace them Immediately with re-
cruits from the large number of men
fit for military duty, but not includ-
ed in the regular army and reserves
German partisans say that If forced
to do so, Germany can raise. arm and
equip 100000 men.
