Let us hope we will have peace
again soon. The jingoes are not found
among the veterans. War is worse
than Sherman said it was. This des-
cription, which l copy from the In
dependent, is all too true:
mo more thrunder of artillery, no
more blare of trumpets, no more beat
Of drums; only the low moan OF pain
and the rai!.e of death. In the tram
pled ground some edlyglimmering
ools, lakes Of blood; all the crops
destroyed, only here and there piece
Of land left untouched, and still COW
cred with stubble; the smiling villages
of Yesterday turned into ruins and
rubbish. The trees burned and hacked
in the forests, the hedges torn with
erape-shot. And on this battle-ground
thousands and thousands of men dead
and dying-dying without aid. No
blossoms of flowers are to be seen
on wayside orr meadow; but sabers,
bayonets, knapsacks, cloaks, over
turned ammunition wagons, powder
wagons blown into the air, canno
with broken carriages. Near the can
non, whose muzzles are black with
smoke, the ground is bloodiest. There
the greatest number and the most
mangled of dead and half-dead men
are lying literally torn to pieces with
shot; and the dead horses and the
half-dead which raise themselves on
their feet-such as they have left them
to sink again; then raise themselves
up once more and fall down again,
till they only raise their heads to
shrek out their pain-laden dcath-cry.
There is hollow way quite filled with
corpses trodden into the mire. The
poor creatures had taken refuge there
no doubt to get cover, but battery
had driven over them, and they have
been crushed by the horses, hoofs
and the wheels. Many of them are
still alive-a pulpy, bleeding mass,
but "still alive"

ARMED NEUTRALITY.
Italian Premier Once Again Outlines
Course of His Country.

The Italian parliament Thursday
with sittingS of both the chamber OF
deputies and the senate witnessed by
hundreds of deeply interested specta-
tors. Italy's position was set forth
in a statement by Premier Salandra,
who advised that she maintain a
watchful and armed neutrality. He
was frequently applauded.
The premier said the European
conflict broke out suddenly without
involving Italy directly and in spite
of her efforts to avert the war for the
sake of peace and civilization. A
careful study of her treaty obligations
and the causes of the conflict con-
vinced the government that Italy was
not called on to participate and she
accordingly declared her neutrality.
In view of the necessity of protecting
Italian interests, however, a declara-
ton Of neutrality alone was not suf-
f1cient to guard against contingencies.
The political division of the con-
tinent of Europe, the premier pointed
out, perhaps were about to be modi-
fed. Italy, he added, has vital inter
ests to protect and aspires to main
tain her position as great power and
to preserve intact her policies. She
therefore must be watchful, powerful
and ready for any eventuality. The
supreme task of the government was
to bring the army and navy to state
of preparedness since, when law
ceases to govern, the only safety of a
nation is in force. Italy must be
ready to protect herself.

BELGRADE Captured.
Austrian Army Takes Capital Of Their
Small Antagonist.

Belgrade, until the outbreak of the
war, Servia's capital, was occupied
Tuesdaw by Austrian troops. The
Servians previously evacuated the
city.
Thus, on the 66th anniversary OF
the reign of Emperor Francis JOS
eph, who again is reported seriously
i'll, and four months after teh out
break of war, his generals report one
of the most important successes they
have obtained.
Belgrade frequently was lombard
ed early in the war and but for the
necessity that compelled Austria to
send troops against Russia must have
fallen easy prey to Servia's big neigh
Dor.
Apparently Austria miscalculateo
the nature of the Servian opposition
and only after Bosnia was invaded
did she send sufficient force against
the Servians to drive them back. Now
they are being forced backward and
are eagerly looking for the advance
of the Russians into Hungary to al
ford them relief.
Russia has been sending Cossacs
raiding parties through the Carpa
thians to dive Austria's attention
but the dual monarchy seemingly i
determined to finish with Cervia first

"JIN CROW" LAW INVALID.
Supreme Court Makes Decision Upon
Case from Oklahoma.

The supreme courts Monday an
nounced through Justice Holmes that
the "Jim Grow" law Of Oklahoma was
invalid insofar as it allowed the fur
nishing of sleeping. parlor and chair
cars only to white persons, but failed
to so decree because the suit to en-
join the enforcement of the statute
by five negroes had been too general
in setting up The rights of the ne
groes.
Chief Justice White and Justices
Holmes, Lamar and McReynolds join
ed the other justices in affirming the
decision of the lower court but did
not concur with the holding on con-
stitutionality as it refers to railroad
cars. Although majority of the
court expressed the opinion that the
law was invalid, that was not decreed
because Of the error in the previous
proceedings.

LOAN FUND READY.
Large Part of Money is Not Expect
ed to be Used.

The last important step prelimi-
nary to the active operation OF the
s135, ,000,0 900 cotton loan fund was
taken Thursday by the cotton loan
committee when it completed the
State committee in II of the South
ern states. These committees VIII
select local committees at once in
every cotton producing community.
The cotton loan committee also an
nounced that meeting of the chair
men of the State committees would
be held December Is to discuss de-
tails of the loan plan.
Although the plans for putting the
fund into the hands of cotton pro-
ducers have gone steadily forward, it
was indicated that possibly a large
part of the 100000 contributed
by Northern banks might never be
used. Officials realize that some
Southern producers are net particu-
larly enthusiastic over the plan IN
view of the interest to be paid on
loans, and of the prices now quoted
on cotton on the New York and Liv-
erpool exchange.
At the same time it was said the
plan is regarded as successful wheth-
er a dollar is borrowed under it or
not. The very fact that the cotton
exhanges have reopened and that cot
ton is selling for fairly good prices,
officials declared. was due to some ex-
tent at least to the completion of the
loan fund.
The State loan committees are
composed of bankers and the follow
ing were among those announced:
South Carolina-R. G. Rhett,
gle, Jr., Charleston; E. W. Robertso
chairman; Henry Schachte and E. H.
Pringle Jr., Charleston; E. ". Rob-
ertson, Columbia; c.. G. Rowland,

Lowe Daniels is a son of William

TO START NEW DASH
NEW YORK WRITER SAYS THE
GERMANS ARE PREPARING.
Looks for Another Drive Along Coast
Towns-Belgium Has Been Heac-
iIy Fortified by TeutonS.

A correspondent of the New York
Times writes from "a Town in Bel

ments to the effect that the Germans
are retiring on the line between Dix.
nude and the coast, I am not yet con-
vinced that they will depart without
making another attempt to break
through. What may be said is that
the longer they delay the harder their
task will be.
AS it IS the German heavy guns
have disappeared from the firing line,
in all probability because the mud is
fast making it impossible to move the
heavy pieces in haste. Now the AL
lies have only the lighter artillery to
face, and these are particularly ac-
tive only at intervals.
Recently the German artillery be-
gan with extraordinary suddenness
terrific bombardment of the French
intrenchments It started about
o'clock in the evening and lasted IN
til nearly midnight. From consid-
erable distance it was possible to see
the flashes, which occurred probably
at the rate of twenty minute, and
to hear the incessant booming. Along
the rest of the line the German guns
were quiet.
The French batteries, most excel
lently concealed, replied with less
violence but with considerably more
precision. The continuous flashes gave
away the German positions, and the
French artillerymen went about their
work coolly and steadily. Next day
showed that some German guns had
been silenced once for all.
This little incident serves to show
how erratic is the foe with whom the
allied armies have to deal, and it is
because the Germans do not hesitate
to attempt the impossible that l think
that even yet there may be a renewed
attempt to break through the Dix
mude-Nieuport line.
Their only possible hope of success
depends-upon their big guns. At the
present time Flanders is a sea of mud
into which the big guns would newt
ably sink. Soldier for soldier, the
Belgian and the Frenchman are quite
equal to the German, and the light
artillery of the Allies is very plenti-
full. Robbed of the use Of their big
guns the German offensive must fail.
While the Allies have been making
sure of their defense they have at the
same time made possible an advance
in force, but the retaking Of Belgium
is going to be long and terrible BIS
mess.
I have the best possible authority
for stating that the defenses behind
the German lines are singularly COM
plete. British airmen have inspected
from above the formidable defense
works, built of concrete, which ex-
tend from Eccloo to Brussels, dis
tance of approximately sixty miles.

LONDON THINKS MORE IS GOING
on THAN IS TOLD.
French and Ferman Official State
ruents Report Activity Along the
Lines.

Lines.
The increasing thunder of guns
and of transports bearing wounded
men, has led to the conclusion in
London that a greater degree of &C
tivity has prevailed in West Flanders
than has been reported in the official
communication.
Paris reports officially: "The only
interesting news relates to our right
wing and to the day of December 2.
On the right bank of the rived Mo-
selle we have occupied Lesmenils and
the signal towel of Lon.
"In the Vosges our troops have
captured the Tete de Faux, south of
the village Bonhomme, which domi-
mates the range of hills forming the
frontier and has served as an obser-
vatory for the Germans.
"In the Alsace the station of Burn
haupt has been occupied and we have
established ourselves on line COM
prising Aspach, the bridge Of Aspach
and Burnhaupt.
'In Belgium there was a rather
lively artillery fire directed against
Nieuport and to the south Of Ypres.
"The inundations have extended to
the south of DiXmude.
From the Lys to the Somme there
has been violent bombardment, par
ticularly at AK Noulette, to the west
Of Lens.
"There was quiet along the entire
front from the Somme to the Aisne
and in the Champagne.
'In the Argonne several attacks on
the part of the enemy were fepulsed,
and we made slight progress.
'In the Wovre district the Ger
man artillery evidenced certain ac-
tivity, but with Insignificant results" :"
Berlin reports officially: The next
of the communication reads:
"In the western theatre of war the
enemy made Insignificant advances,
which were checked.
In the forest of Argonne strong
point of support of the enemy was
taken by the Wuerttemberg infantry
regiment No. 120, his Majesty, the
Kaiser's own regiment. On this oc-
casion two officers and about three
hundred of the enemy's troops were
made prisoners"

Armed MeXicans.

United States cavalrymen Wednes-

Mexico, border point sixty miles up
tohe Rio lrande from Ell Paso. He
said the attack, planned for Thurs
