Paris.-ln trenches filled with wa
ter the allied and German armies
continue their struggle for posses
sion of the line leading to the coast
cities of Dunkirk and Calais.
The official statement announcing
that the Germans have been driven
back to the right bank of the canal
all along the line resulted in the
greatest satifaction here. The enemy
paid terrible toll for the ground they
held on the left bank.
New York.-Whether the British
superdreadnought Audacious is now
at the bottom of the sea or is being
repaired by the British admiralty and
may again see service is now the only
mystery connected with reports of
the vessel of the first line of Eng
lands naval defense falling victim
to a German mine or torpedo in the
North Sea.
James r. Beames, bandmaster on
the liner Olympic, which rescued the
crew of the Audacious, told the full
story of the disaster to the Auda-
cious upon arriving here on the
American liner New York. He said
the Audacious was blown up by the
British cruiser Liverpool that her
wreck might not interfere with traf-
fic. Acable received from the United
Press bureau in London today, how
ever, indicates that this may be a
mistaken version of the disaster to
the dreadnought.

BUSINESS CONFERENCE HELLO,
PRESIDENT VISITED BY DELE.
CATION FROM CHICAGO.
Amendments to Pending Bills May
Result From Suggestions OF Callers.

Washington, July 8.-Representa-
tives Of "big business" talked at length
with President Wilson at the White
House today about the administra-
tion's antitrust programme. Ten
leading members Of the Chicago AS
sOcation Of Commerce gave Mr.. Will.
son their ideas of proper trade COM
mission and railroad securities boards,
and as a result the bills passed by
the house and pending in the senate
may be modified. Both the president
and the business men gave out state
ments referring to the cordiality of
the meeting.
A direct result Of the discussion
the president late today telegraphed
to Representative Covington Of Mary
land, who framed the house trade
commission bill, asking him to return
to Washington to confer with the Chi
cago delegation.
The Chicago delegation advocated a
trade commission with broad powers
Of investigation and authority to or
der the discOntinuance Of practices
contrary to law. They objected to
making all corporations return annual
reports to the commission and thought
too many definitions Of illegal prac-
tices were unnecessary.
The president listened carefully and
interposed some ideas Of his own.
The question Of business prosperity
was mentioned in q general way, and
afterwards officials said the president
still was Of the opinion that condi-
tions are growing better.
President Wilson tomorrow will re-
ceive Henry Ford, the millionaire au-
tOmobile manufacturer, a committee
OF Illinois bankers and members of
the National Association Of State Bank
Supervisors.
After the conference Joseph II.
Defreas, on behalf Of the Chicago
uclcSdtIOH, lSSueu CnlS statement.
1.-THE president, as we know would be
the case, gave us a considerate and
open minded hearing. We in turn
were desirOus of giving him and the
administration. including congress,
such suggestions with regard to pend
ing legislation as we thought might
be helpful, not only to the lawmak
ers, but to business generally. In get
eral we favored O trade commission
but suggested certain points, which,
If agreed to, would make it a con-
structive agency helpful to all honest
business. We also discussed business
conditions"

been lynched. This, the speaker ex-
planned, was written into the consti-
tuition by Tillman and the reformers
in 1895. and that all the legislature
was called upon to do was to pro-
vide a way for n court OF competent
jurisdiction to handle this provision
Of the constitution, after it had been
embodied in the constructive law of
the State.
The order of speaking today was an
exact duplication Of that of the ini-
tial meeting of the campaign at ST.
Matthews June II. Then as today
the governor had stirred the crowd
in advance, and Senator Smith had to
force Il hostile audience at the ouset.
But today, as at st. Matthews, the
senator tactfully felt his way, and
when n chord Of sympathetic inter-
est had been struck, swept his audi
encc along with him keeping all in
bOisterOus good humOr by an mex
haustible supply OF striking good
jokes with which he aptly illustrated
each question under discussion.
The meeting today was held in the
grove on the schOOlhOuse grounds,
with approximately 1000 voters pres
ent. There will be no meeting to-
morrow. On Friday, the candidates
ngain get together at Newberry, and
go to Greenwood Saturday.

DISPUTE THE CAUSE.

Atlanta, Ga, July S.-Differences
existing between Gov. Blease of South
Carolina and the war department are
responsible for the governors re-
fusal to allow the State troops Of
Georgia to pass through South Caro-
lima to the proposed joint encamp-
ment in Augusta, Ga, next month, it
was indicated here tonight. Adjt
Gen. Nash Of the Georgia National
Guard made public a letter from
Adjt. Gen. Moore OF the South Caro-
lima National Guard. which said that
the ban would not be removed until
the issues between Gov. Blease and
Secretary Of War Garrison had been
settled.
The war department recently with
drew an invitation to the South Car
olina militia to participate in the en-
campment because they did not meet
the requirements Of the Dick militia
law in the matter Of equipment and
number of enlisted men in the va
rious grades.
Trouble had previously arisen be-
tween the governor and the secretary
OF war over the location of the pro-
posed encampment on the Isle of
Palms at Charleston. S. G. Secretary
Garrison finally peremptorily trans
ferred the camp to Augusta.

PERMISSION TO GEORGIA

Merely Matter OF Courtesy, but

Gen. Moore Reports That Governor
Will Sign no Orders until Dispute
With War Department is Settled.

Columbia, July 9.-The governor Of
South Carolina refused Monday to
sign an order granting permission for
such troops Of the National Guard of
Georgia to enter South Carolina, 60
ing to or returning from the Camp at
Augusta, as may obtain the benefit of
q more direct route thereby. The or
der was submitted to the governor by
w. w. Moore, adjutant general, along
with other orders. The governor re-
turned all Of them, saying he would
sign no further orders until the mill
tary matters had been Strengthened
out between this State and the war
department, Gen. Moore says.
1T is a matter Of courtesy, simply"
said Gen. Moore, last night Il am
aware that there is a law that does
not permit armed troops from another
State to enter without permission. In
the general run Of things I do not
think it is necessary for them to have
permission"
j. Van Holt Nash, adjutant general
Of Georgia, wrote Gen. Moore on June
80 as mere matter of form, request
ing permission for troops Of the Ma
ional Guard to enter South Carolina
on their way to and from Augusta.
Gen. Moore was on the campaign at
the time the communication was re-
ceived at his Office. On returning he
presented order No. AZ, along with
other orders, to the governor for his
signature. In his reply to Gen. Nash
on July G, Gen. Moore said:
"The order was returned to this de-
partmont by the governor with the
statement that he would sign no fur
ther orders until the military situa-
ton in this State was cleared up with
the war department.
Il regret exceedingly that the gov
ernor has taken such a position and
that this courtesy can not be formally
granted YOU"

negotiate for the establishment of a
provisional government which was Of
hclally announced by Acting Foreign
