Chief RAILWAY MAIL

J. A. METTS CONDUCTED AN
EXAMINATION
PRAISED OFFICE
Says That Postoffice Is Well Con.
Quoted and Thinks Chances for
New Mail Clerk Good.

81 can make. no statement regard
Ing what my recommendation to the
postofllce department will be, con-
cerning new mail clerk on the
Charleston and Wester nCarolina rail
road between Anderson and McCor-
mick" said j A. Nets yesterday. "but
] believe that the chance for Ander-
son getting this additional service are
splended."
Mr.. Metts is chief railway chief for
South Carolina, with Offices In Char
lesion, and he came to Anderson for
two purposes. He desired to zee al
first hand just what necessity might
exist for new clerk OIL tho c. and
w. c. and then too. he came here to
conduct the annual examination for
the mail dlspatchers Mt the Anderson
postofflce.
In talking to reporter for The In
telligencer. Mr.. Metts said that It
would be very desirable to have
train leaving Anderson II the morn
ing on the C. and W. G.. and one leav-
Ing Mccormick in the morning on the
c. and w. c. Another leaving each
place in the afternoon would give a
double-datly passenger and mail SER
vice and he thinks that 1t would
please everyone. living between the
two points and he also thinks that It
might be q good thing for the rail-
road. He believes. that this would be
the most beneficial arrangement the
railroad could strike on. Mr.. Metts
pointed out that the Anderson branch
of this railroad is the only point in
South Carolina, to the best OF his

service.
The chief clerk says that as q mat
ter OF fact the chances for getting. a
new clerk on this road are weakened
by reason OF the many changes made
in schedule on the Anderson branch.
He says thnt the postoffice depart:
ment Is not willing to put n man on
a run for few months. and then have
to take him of btcause Of some
change In schedule and he pointed out
that there have been numerous
changes In the schedules Of trains on

CLUBS FORMED FOR WAR
WIDOWS" IN LONDON

MISUNDERSTANDING the need of
recreation centers for women whose
protectors have entered the army,
making an effort in London to pro-
vide wholesome amusements and
temperance refreshments for women
who might otherwise go to public
houses to hear war news and discuss
the progress of the armies in Eu
rope.
Lady Henry Somerset and num-
Der OF associates have established a
temperance public house exclusively
for women and children, which is
tho first of chain they expect to
open throughout London, to offset
the temptations of the ordinary
public houses during the war.
A disused ,beerhouse on Arthur
street has been converted into what
is called the Women's War Club. Lit
tie change has been made in the bar,
excepting that only temperance
drinks will be served.
In discussing the new movement
Lady Henry said: The club is be-
ing formed for the wives of sold
iers fighting abroad and the sub
scription is to be two-pence a month,
ut will be meeting place where
these women can talk over the late
war news, read the papers. write let
etrs and obtain light refreshments.
We are providing a graphaphone and
in addition will arrange for some
| sort of concert almost every evcn-
ing.
Women will be permitted to
bring their children with them and
a matron will be provided whose
duty 1t will be to assist mothers in
looking after the little folks in a
room especially arranged for their
amusement.
Lady Jellicoe, wife of the head of
the English navy, has established a
temperance hall for women in Ham
mersmith Road, q section which has
afforded many recruits and abounds
in public houses.
Mrs. B. Lathrop, a prominent
member of the American committee.
has instituted q similar recreation
center on Copenhagen street, Is
lington, in a square where there are
five public houses which have the
patronage of many women. Mrs.
Lathrop will limit the service of her
club to women and children whose
living conditions have been changed
as result of the war and will make
wholesome food at the lowest pos
sible price the featurue of the or
R8nfzation, One quart of nourish-
ing soup and one-fourth loaf of
bread are supplied to war widows for
two cents.

WHAT ARE THE sIKHs7

Among the picturesque native In
dian troops which England has
brought into the firing line to
strengthen the forces of the allies,
are the Sikhs. They are adherents
of the Sikh religion, found princi-
pally in the Punjab. the United
Provinces, kashmir. and other parts
Of northern India. 1.-The word SIKH
says the Encyclopedia Britannica.
literally means learner, disciple 4,
and was the name given by the iirst
guru Nanak to mis- followers. The
Sikhs are divide dinto two lasses,
Sahijdhari and Kesadhari The for
mer were SO named from living at
case and the latter from wearing
long hair. Both obey the general in
functions Of the Sikh gurus. but the
Sahijdhari Sikhs have not accepted
the pahul or baptism of Guru Co.
Wind Singh. and do not wear the dis
tfnguishing habiliments of the Ke-
sadhari, who are the baptized Sikhs,
also called Singhs or lions. Their
distinguishing habiliments are long
hair wound round small dagger
and hearing q comb inserted ii it,.
steel bracelet and short drawers.
The chronicle=news. (Trinidad, Colo.) 1898-current, 1914-12-10

Neither the Sahijdhari nor the Ke-
sadhari Sikhs may smoke tobacco or
drink wine. The prohibition of wine
is, however. generally disregardcd
except by very orthodox Sikhs.
"a man is not born Singh but
becomes SO by baptism. the water OF
which is called amrit or nectar. 1t
is possible that one brother may be q
Hindu, While another is true Sikh.

his best qualities are shown in the

are some 10000 Sikhs in the Indian
army, and the sect is cherished b.

VALUE OF AN EDUCATED ARMY

1t Is now recognized In European
armies that preparation for war, in
the theoretical trimming Of officers
no less than in the accumulation OF
efficient war material, is Of vast I'M
portance in carrying campaign to II
successful conclusion. A military
expert In the Encyclopedia Britain
Mica Joints out that this was tho
great lesson of the Franco-German
war of 1901. at was not until
1866 and 1870" he says. that the
preponderating influence of the
trained mind was made manifest.
Other wars had shown the value of
an educated general: these showed
the value of an educated army. 1t is
true that Moltke, in mental power
and in knowledge. was in no wise in
ferior to the great captains who pre-
ceded him; but the remarkable point
of his campaigns is that so many
capable generals had lever before
been gathered together under ono
flag. No campaigns have been sub
mittcd to such searching criticism.
Never have mistakes been more sedu-
lously sought for or rore frankly
exposed. And yet, compared with
the mistakes of other campaigns, cv-
Ell with that of 1915. where hardly
a superior officer on either side had
not seen more battles than Moltkc
and his comrades had seen field-days,
they were astonishingly few.
1T is not to be denied that the
foes of Prussia were hardly worthy
of her steel. Yet 1t may be doubted
whether either Austria or France
ever put two finer armies into the
field than the army of Bohemia in
1866 and the army OF the Rhine in
1870. Even their generals of divis-
ions and brigadcs had more actual
experience than those "hO led the
German army corps. Compared with
the German rank and file, great
part of their non-commissioned Of
ficers and men were veterans, and
veterans who had seen much service.
Their chief officers were practically
familiar with the methods of NOV
