An Appeal for More Than Million

To the People of South Carolina:
In asking your paper to present to
YOU this appeal in the name OF hu-

l shall be brief and not overtax your
patience.
There is suffering and ditress pre-
vailing in Europe today the magnitude
and depths of which never entered
the mind of man. The victims now
from conservative investigation have
reached the appalling number of one
million fatherless children, and one
hundred thousand widows. Think oc
it in the fear of God. These an in
dependent citizenship having had all
the comforts and conveniences Of life
living in happy homes and in charity
with all the world.
A war for which no one can give q
reasonable cause came upon them like
q thunderbolt from u clear sky inVolv-
ms tNo-tuiIOS VI the nation Ol inc
earth.
Those prosperous people living, in
the section Of the war zone that has
become the theatre of the most bloody
mercilcss war that has ever blacken-
cd the story OF civilization have met
with reverses and barbarities that
reach Santanic cruelty.

hanover on the whole was very
depressing. There was not an able

the streets, all the automobiles had
been taken by the government and
the shops displayed nothing but
mourning. Every evening at seven

prayer service) at which tears floweC

suffered terrible losses. Newspapers
were filled with casualty lists and

Going into Holland we crossed a
carefully guarded bridge over the
river Mas, which was loaded with
