PATH TO PARIS OPEN,
SAYS LONDON PAPER

London, Aug. 29.-The Chronicle,
commenting on "the wars progress" a"
says:
"Since the great disaster which be-
fell the allies in Belgium silence deep
er than ever has been imposed by the
censorship.
From message sent out twenty
four hours ago by the French EN-.
bassy, showing fighting on the line
between Cambran and Lecateau. it is
apparent that the French have been
driven back past their line of from
tier fortresses to a point twenty miles
beyond that line.
There is no longer any serious for
titled obstacle between the German
main advance and Paris. Under the
circumstances II is not surprising that
the French ministry has resigned and
reconstructed itself as a committee OF
public safety.
Meanwhile. as If siege of Paris
now was looming foremost in their
minds, their first step has been to
appoint a general In supreme COM
mand OF Paris and its troops"

BRITISH FORCES BEAR
BRUNT OF FIGHTING

London, Aug. 29.-That the British
expeditionary forces are bearing the
brunt of the fighting was admitted in
the house of commons.
I'm Wednesdays fighting" announc.
ed Premier Asquith. the British
forces received the assault of five
complete German army corps.
Our forces held their ground un.
til the brunt of the attack had been
made. They then retired slightly TO
a new position.
THE British inflicted enormous
losses upon the Germans. but | regret
to state our own losses were CORE
spondingly great"
Premier Asquith stated that the
British forces were holding the line
about Camberi, in the department of
the North and between twenty and
twenty-five miles inside the French
frontier.
This was the first time that the
definite position of the British has
been revealed since they withdrew
from Mons.

AMMUNITION SHORT
IN FORTS AT NAMUR

London, Aug. pa number of Bel
gian wounded from Namur have ar
rived at Folkstone, but 1t is difficult
to get any connected account of the
fight They say the Germans bonn
barded continually from Friday until
Sunday and they believe 1t was the
superiority, in long range, of the Ger
man guns which gave them the vic.
tory.
On Saturday a German shell ex
ploded in Marchovelette fort and put
the largest gun and one six-inch gun
out of action Two hundred Belgian
soldiers while trying to escape were
practically annihilated by German
shrapnel and machine guns.
On Sunday ammunition run short
In some OF the forts and more ammu-
milton was sent for, but the town fell
at midday Sunday before the ammu-
milton arrived. The Belgian soldiers
made a splendid retirement, which
was covered by the French troops.

Washington, Aug 29.-Wireless dis
patches to the German embassy from
Berlin state that the French army of
the north, in which is now included
the British army. has been practically
surrounded and the positions along
the Sambre and Meuse rivers isolated.
They also state that the eastern
and northern armies have been wide
ly separated, while German cavalry
have advanced on Ostend. now oc-
cupied by British marines
"As a result of the recent encoun-
ter" one of the messages says, the
French and English north army on
the Sambre and Meuse rivers has
been surrouned by German troops on
all sides
THE French east army was partly
driven to the south.
This prevented communication be-
tween the French east and north
armies, while all the German armies
are compact from Cambreri to Upper
Alsace. The German cavalry has ad-
vanced to Ostend.

IN OPINION OF OFFICIALS
Moratorium Is Not Necessary in the

Washington, Aug. 29.-Agitation for
the declaration of a moratorium in

Elsewhere in this issue of The Ad-

olson issues call to duty-a call to
reorganize the local Democratic clubs
Saturday, April 25. Surely for few
hours on Saturday afternoon every citi-
zen in the county can lay aside other du-
ties and attend personally to this i'm
portant and patriotic duty.
Your home, your farm or other busi-
ness interests may need you just at
that time, but the State likewise needs
you and the call to duty at this time
should not go unheeded. Between now
and the date fixed for the meeting of
the clubs speak to your neighbors and
urge them to attend the club meeting.
1t is important-especially important
this year.

Factor in South's Development.

a number of years it has had q land and
industrial department, employing a
large corps of men, many of whom
are specialists, for the specific pur-
pose of developing the territory
throughout the South that is adjacent
to its lines. In addition to building up
the industrial interests, the Southern
officials have given much time and ex-
pended large sums in contributing to
the agricultural development of this
section. The road has also endeavored
to bring in desirable settlers from other
sections of the country.
Recently the Southern has been CIV
ing illustrated lectures in the North
and northwest showing the superior
advantages of the southern soil and
climate for agricultural purposes.
What this advertising is worth to the
South would be hard to estimate in
dollars and cents.
We confidently expect before many
years to see tidal wave of immi-
grants from the northwest into TIE
South. The small farmers of that sec
tion are constantly being impressed
line upon line with the South's advant-
ages, and these efforts will yet bear
fruit. Edgefeld county alone could
furnish desirable farms for thousand
and more of these thrifty farmers.

The Mileage Graft.

Doubtless there is a feeling of un-
rest among the members of Congress
who oppose the repeal of the law pro-
viding for 20 cents per mile for the ma
tional lawmakers. This is a form of
graft that should be stopped, and it is
probable that the agitation will not
cease until the law is changed, reduc-
ing the amount allowed to the actual
travelling expenses. Statesmen from
the far-off Pacific coast receive large
sum annually from the public treasury
in the form of excessive mileage, and
very naturally the members of Con-
gress from the nearby states do not
like to see the treasury looted in such
a manner. 1t is estimated that by
reducing the mileage to a just and
proper rate something like SITS, 600 per
annum can be saved.
