THE BIG BATTLE HAS BEGUN.
Allied Armies Battle With Germans
Along Twenty-MIle Line.

,
London.-After nearly three weeks
of mobnizing the battle of giants has
begun.
Roughly speaking the Germans are
trying to work around the allies flank
in Belgium, while the French are at
tempting to apply the same process
to the Germans in Alsace.
Almost all the encounters that have
gone before have been mere recon
naisances. The defeat Of a regiment
here and there has been proclaimed
as a great victory but in this grapple
of hundreds Of thousands most Of
these affairs have had no significance.
Official announcements from both
sides have been extremely candid so
far. From the standpoint of the allies
the important feature in Saturdays
developments Is the. great battle
which began in the morning on the
Namur- -Charleroi line. This is being
fought on the position chosen by the
allies.
A German official statement says
that troops under command Of the
Crown Prince of Bavaria, fighting be-
tween Metz and Vosges, took 10000
prisoners and so guns. 1t adds that
the French troops opposing the Ger
mans comprised eight army corps.
An official British statement ex-
plains calmly that nothing resembling
a great battle has been fought as yet
and warns the people against opti-
mism

The hospital, equipped with an emer-
gency appropriation OF $4,000, grant
ed by Congress after W. G. McAdoo,
Secretary Of the Treasury, had writ
ten special message on the subject,
and after Surgeon General Rupert

cine, with nearly score Of patholo-
gists and ether scientists, who during

most thorough investigation ever at
tempted Of any disease in so brief
period Of time, are preparing to wind
up their work here and turn the re-
suits of their labor over to the Public
Health Service.
The principal members OF the COM

Spartanburg county, Of whom % per
cent have died. According to Doctor
Siler, there are now probably 10000
pellagrins in the South.

medical world and brought a number
of eminent physicians to Spartanourg.
among them DR.. Louis w. Sambon OF
the London School Of Tropical Medl-
cine, and DR.. Simon Flexner OF the

Farmers, Institute.

Yorkville.-A farmers institute was
held here recently in the graded
school building. The meeting was
called to order at II O'Clock by the
county demonstration agent. Jno. K.
Blair, and interesting and instructive
addresses were made by Prof. Harper
Of Clemson College, Paul H. Calvin,
live stock Of the United
States department of agriculture, and
Mr. McKeown, the special demonstra-
ton agent Of Rock Hill.
Prof. Harper spoke principally on
fertilizers. He advised the farmers
to reduce their cotton and corn acre
age, and grow more nitrogen produc'
ing crops. He censured the farmers
for buying potash and said the way
to obtain it was by deep Dlow!ng.

known that there would be no regular

pany decided that they would have
an encampment of their own and Sc
lected Big Springs as the place. They
were given a splendid camp site with
a pipe line direct from the magnih-

Columbia.-The National Currency
Association of South Carolina was
permanently organized a few days
ago. About so national banks, prac-
ttcally every national bank In the
state, were represented at the meet
ing at the Jefferson hotel, and 80 OF
the banks qualified as members OF
the association. Their applications
will be forwarded to Secretary Nc
Adoo at once for approval. The cap
ital and surplus represented by the
80 banks amount to something in ex-
cess Of sS,OO0,000, and this will mean
that about s2,4O0.O00 additional cur
rency can be issued in this state.
For technical reasons all of the
banks could not qualify on that day.
but practically all are expected to
qualify. If all qualify the total capt.
tai and surplus represented will
amount to something like S9.000,O0O
and an additional currency issue OF
about s2,70O,00o win become avail
able.
R. G. Rhett, of Charleston, was
elected president of the association;
J. P. Matthews, of Columbia, vice
president; John T. Melton, Of Colum-
bia, secretary; and W. A. Clark, OF
Columbia, treasurer. The executive
committee elected consists of R. G.

of Columbia, John T. Melton Of Col
umbia, w. A. Clark Of Columbia, G.
NJ. Berry of Columbia, J. w. Norwood
OF Greenville, C. D. Jones of Lancas-
ter. A majority Of the officers and
committeeman were elected from Col
umbia by express desire of all of the
bankers, inasmuch as this will insure
immediate action upon any business
that comes before the organization.
A number of state banks are ready,
it is said, to join the association ss
soon as the bill repeating the 10 per
cent tax on circulation issued by the
state banks is passed. The bill was
introduced in congress and its pas
sage is expected shortly.

Tokio.-The Emperor Of Japan has
declared war on Germany. This act
ion was taken at the expiration Of the
time limit of Japan's ultimatum to
Germany demanding the surrender Of
Kiao-Chow. The Japan Government
has ordered the beginning of opera
tons on land and sea.
The Imperial rescript declaring war
on Germany was issued in the evening.
It officially inaugurates hostilities in
the Far East as a result Of Germany's
failure to reply to the Japaneses ulti-
matum.
The proclamation Of the Emperor
sent a thrill through the country.
Japan's entrance upon the fulflllment
o. her obligations to her ally, Great
Britain, responds to the popular will
from one end Of the land to the other.
Cheering crowds assembled before
public buildings and at night there
were lantern professions through the
streets. The popular manifestations,
however, do not approach the enthu-
siasm which preceded the wah with
Russia.
Count Won Rex, the German Am
bassador, has been handed his pass

believed this action will keep Austria
out Of the war in the Orient, although
unforeseen circumstances may force
Japan to change this policy. No action
has been taken relative to Austria and
the Foreign Office has explained that
Japan will remain friendly until Aus
tria adopts an attitude which 1t re-
CARDS as offensive.
It is reported here that Germany
has been trying to transfer the Ger
man Railroad in Shan Tung, China,
to America. Toxic believes, however,
that the United States pursuing the
policy Of neutrality outlined by Presi-
dent Wilson, will not accept. Presi-

OF the operations which put the Ger
