A Great German.

charleston News and Courier)
A 17-word dispatch from Berlin,
published in yesterdays newspapers,
announced the death OF August
Weismann. In the same newspapers
scores OF other dispatches, thousands
of words in length, were devoted to
the desperate ond frightful war in
which millions OF soldiers are en-
gagged. So strange a thing Is human
civilization and so crazy a place is
this world of man. We have brought
it about that in this goth century
matters have come to such a pass
that the death Of a great genius is of
small interest compared with the
wreck and ruin Of machines Of war.
A Weismann dies and the world
scarcely knows or cares. Three lines
for the passing OF one OF the greatest
scientists Of sciences golden age;
colmun after column for bloodshed
and suffering and destructive wrath.
Weismann in his lifetime served
not Germany but mankind. The au-
thor Of the germ-plasm theory Of
heredity labored not for one country
but for all the world; and science,
which knows no international from
tiers, was the beneficiary Of his Ia~.
bors. Yet in his death Weismann
may be said to have performed a SER
vice for his country. His passing at
this moment in the worlds history
will serve to emphasize anew the
greatness Of that peaceful Germany
which is, alas, no more 1t will be
reminder of the value of the SER
vices which that peaceful Germany
has performed for the human race.
1t will call back to mems minds the
intellectual glory of people which
could produce such a giant as the
great biologist who has just breathed
his last. 1t will intensity the sorrow
which all thinking men and women
must feel because people, capable
Of such splendid achievement in the
realm Of the intellect, has plunged
or has been dragged, as the case may
be, into the dark and terrible abyss
where Germany now struggles in aw-
full warfare with the rest Of Europe.

$4,000 Theft Charged to Funk.
Hahnville, La, Nov. 18.-Julius
S. Funk, former president of the
Bank Of Paridis, now in the hands Of
the State Bank Examiner, was ar
rested here Wednesday on the
charge Of embezzling $4,000 from

leased later on bond in the sum of
$4,000.
According to information filed by
State Bank Examiner Young, road
bonds Of st. Charles parish were
sold by Funk through Chicago con-
Germs. The information charged that

of the bond sale, informing them that
the money had been placed to their
credit in the Bank of Paridis. 1t fur

ed the funds in his own name, and
that $65,OO0 of the amount had been
withdrawn.

from Bloomington, H., where the
family is widely known, and organ

To build up this mobile force Gen.

OF the regular or standing army
should be about 2O5,O0O enlisted
men.
The report states that on Novem-
Der Is the latest returns showed the
actual strength of the army to be
4,572 officers and SS,444 enlisted
men. The total strength Of field
forces is less than $4,000 enlisted

THE WAR WILL END IN 1917,
According to Estimate Accredited to
British Expert.

The military expert of the London
Daily Mail estimates that the war
will not end until 1917. The esti-
mate is based on the belief that the
Germans Will commit 40 great tacti-
cal error. The Daily Mails author
ity divides the war into six periods
two past, one present and three to
come. The first period was the Ger
France. The second period was the
battle Of the Marne and the German
retreat to the Aisne. The third
period comprises the fighting on the
Aisne, continuing and developing into
the battle Of Calais. The fourth Pc
riod will be the German retreat and
a battle on the Meuse. The fifth
period will be a further German re-
treat and battle on the Rhine. The
sixth period will be the allied march
on Berlin. The expert estimates that
the battle of Calais will not end COM
pletely before the beginning Of De
cember He assigns a period Of five
months for the battle Of the Meuse,
bringing the end OF this battle in
April or the beginning of May, 1915.
The campaign on the Rhine, he esti-
mates should last nearly twice as
long, or until February, 1916. The
final march to Berlin and the nego-
tiations for peace, he figures, should
consume at least year, bringing the
withdrawal OF the allied armies of
occupation in 1917. The estimate
gives the total period Of the war as
rather less than three years 1t is
presumed that the Russian advance
will occupy similar period and that
only the steady combined pressure
Of the allies can bring matters to a
conclusion within the period suggest
ed. He assumes that the German
forces will withdraw steadily and
that there will be no sudden collapse
on either front.

OPPOSED TO THE WADE PLAN.
Greenville Bankers Tell Why They
Think Scheme is Unwise.

Greenville, Nov. 18.-In short
talk delivered before the bankers of
Group One, South Carolina Bankers
Association, Capt. e. A. Smyth de-
clared the Wade Plan" to be a
great bluff on the part of .Northe,.
capitalists" and he doubted that the
South would ever see a dollar of the
money. He did not believe the
scheme was practical, but believed
that each individual farmer, banker
and cotton mill manufacturer must
work out his own problems without
expecting any help from abroad. He
did not like the margin required by
the syndicate in the liquidation pro-
cess.
Following the roll call OF banks
in the group, Mr.. Norwood was called
upon to explain the Wade plan,
which he did clearly and briefly. His
chief objection was the amount of
margin required in the liquidation
process. He did not like the plan Of
holding the 25 per cent throughout
the greater period OF paying back the
loan, and frankly admitted that it
was poor finance and not likely to
be used to any great extent by
Southern bankers. He liked better
plan which the local bankers are
to carry out for their customers, in
dependent OF the Wade plan, and one
He stated that one of the local
banks will act as agent for all the
GreenvilIe banks and will borrow
100000 from Northern States, put
ting up $4,000 themselves and this
will be loaned out to the trade. How
ever, the local banks will not have
their collateral up after the debts
are individually retired, but will
have it out at interest, together with
that which is borrowed from the
Northern banks. There is an ar
rangement whereby another $780,
900 can be borrowed in case the
amount Is needed. Hence it appears
from Mr.. Norwood's remarks that the
local situation is in pretty fair shape,
or will be at no distant date.
Mr.. Norwood has investigated the
Wade plan thoroughly, and has had
considerable correspondence on the
subject. He evidently does not like
the plan, as was evident from his
remarks concerning the chief objec-
ton, which is the sinking Of % per
| cent Of the total amount, plus the in
terest and the contingent fund, until
the syndicate is liquidated.
Before he took his seat Mr.. Nor
| wood was called upon to express his
views on the overdraft proposition,
and he stated that the best way to
handle the proposition was to get a
| little stiffening in their backs and
frankly tell customers who make this
| business a habit that their patronage
was no longer desired unless they
could stay within their deposits. He
said he did not think it was right to
! pay out other peoples money in this
way; that it was better to tell the

An Army's Eyes.

When people read that armies are

distance they art apt to imagine that

At that distance it is impossible to
distinguish between a man and a
horse, and even at 1900 yards, es-
pecially where there is any dust, 1t
requires the best kind Of eyes to tell
infantry from cavalry.
At 900 yeards the movements be-
come clearer, although it is not until
they get within $50 yards Of each
other that the heads Of the columns
can be made out with anything like
certainty.
Infantry can be seen in the sun
light much more easily than cavalry
or artillery, because less dust is
raised. Besides, Infantry is dstin-
guished by the glitter of the mus
kets. At 1000 yards, however,
everything is unsatisfactory.
