DEMAND
De WET Be SHOT
Want Him Punished as Traitor.
South African Government
viii Decide Fate.

LONDON. Dec. 4-General Chris
tian De Vets fate will be decided by
the South African government en-
tirely on its own responsibility, but
the demand is being raised in the
Unionist press here that he shall be
made to suffer a rebeFs fate. The
Pail Mall Gazette says:
His signature to the treaty of
Vereeniging pledged his loyalty to the
flag in exchange for the unparalleled
clemency of that instrument OF
peace. He has shown currish in
gratitude for the generosity of the
empire. has basely broken his own
engagement and done South Africa
the injury of renewing those raVages
of warfare from which she has taken
so long to recover There can De no
pity for his fall and there should be
little to temper the sternness Of JUS
tice which has been earned by his
treachery. In the decision of his fate
something may depend upon what are
the precise relations he has main
tanned with the agencies of German
intrigue and bribery, which have had
so much to do with the rebellion"
The St. James Gazette says: 1T is
charitable to suppose he was radical
upset BY the paralytic seizure
hiCn ne suffered a year VI lWO aBo.
Otherwise he might not have allowed
his inclination to override his pru-
dence To condone his conduct on
these considerations however, would
be foolish. A traitor is traitor, and
a country in its hour of danger can
not afford to look beyond the fact to
it's physical or mental explanation.
The Globe declares: 1T is right to
say that by every canon of natural
Justice and by the laws of all civilized
nations General De Vets life is for
felt. and we trust he will receive the
punishment due to his gross and
fragrant treachery. 1t is more than
enough if he is accorded a soldiers
death"
Though General De Wet, in start
ing this rebellion. knowingly incurred
the penalty of treason. it is believed
that the South African Union govern
ment will have regard entirely to the
effect on the South African situation
of the punishment melted out to him.

Practical Prescription
Against Stomach Acidity

Nine tenths of all cases of stomach

acid. In the beginning the stomach itself
is not diseased, but If this acid condition
is allowed to continue, the acid Is very
likely TO eat into the stomach walls and
produce stomach ulcers which may rem

be neutralized by the administration of an
efficient antacid. For this purpose the
best remedy is bisurated magnesia taken

DANIELS DEFENDS
. STATE OF OUR NAVY
Secretary Answers Recent Crit
ioism of Representative Gard
ner on Unpreparedness.

WASHINGTON, Dec. A state
ment was issued last night by Secre-
tarv of the Navy Daniels, embody-
inc a special report from Rear-Ad-
rniral Strauss. chief of the Bureau
Of Ordnance. Specifically the state
ment was prepared in reply to a
declaration that of long-range tor
pedoes there are only fifty-eight in
the navy" in a speech by Repre-
sentative Gardner, of Massachusetts,.
Admiral Strauss points out that
long-range torpedoes are neither re-
quired nor desired for submarines.
He recalled that the British armored
cruisers Aboul1ir, Cressy and Hogue
were torpedoed and destroyed by a
German submarine at a range OF
500 yards. He says:
1.-The fifty-eight long-range tor
pedoes so often referred to as the
only ones the navy possesses are of
the 21-inch, 2t-foot type, and there
is no ship in the United States navy
yet in commission that is prepared
to take them. They are manufac-
tured for new construction, Begin
ming with the Nevada and the Okla
homa, and these two ships will not
go into commission until about the
end of next year So far as the
Bureau of Ordnance can ascertain,
these torpedoes have as high range,
or higher, than any t0rpedoeS manu>
featured abroad.

mission this year all the battleships
are provided with 21-ineh, 17-foot
tubes. Within the last two years it
was found possible to so improve
the 21-inCh, 1-foot torpedo as prac-
tieally to double its range, and steps
were taken at once to construct new
torpedoes having the increased range.
We already have o sufficient num-
Der of these longer range torpedoes
to outfit the eight most recent dread
noughts in commission.
There are being manufactured a
sufficient number to provide all of
the battleships of the United States
navy. lightning with the Virginia
class. with the long-range torpedoes.
The Ohio class, which were first COM
missioned about 1904, are fitted with
eighteen-inch tubes, and torpedoes of
the highest range cannot be substi-
tuted for the equipment now fur
nished them without serious altera-
tions.
"All of the armored cruisers except
four and all of the older destroyers
are provided with eighteen-inch
tubes. All of the cruisers and all of
the destroyers subsequent to destroy
er No. 2S. are provided with torpedoes
that were up TO date in range and
speed one year ago. Since that time
a scheme has been developed for in
creasing the range of the eighteen
inch torpedo, and there are now in
process of construction eighteen-inch
torpedoes of the newer type, which
will outfit all destroyers from No. 2s
with the long-range weapon"
Long range torpedces are neither
nor desired for submarines"

LONDON, Dec. 4.-The allied forces
In northern France and Belgium are
now believed practically to equal the
Germans in numerical strength. The
offensive of the French and British
troops now gradually developing Is
expected to reach its height with the
arrival of additional reinforcements.
Late reports put the strength of the
allies in Belgium at 700. 900. The eye
witness report of Colonel e. ID. Swim
ton telling of the German drive
toward Calais, states that from the
north of La Bassee the Germans
numbered $50, 700. This bears out
the admission of General Sir John
French that the allies were outnum-
bered, but with the arrival of rein
forcements and the shortening OK

the Germans may be overcome
The visit of King George to the
British lines is said to have had a
remarkable effect upon the troops.

Mrs. Willie Seal Smith Dead.

Something like ten days ago members OF
Mr.. T. G. Seals family, Of Abbeville, re-
ceived a letter from her daughter, Mrs.
Willie Seal Smith, whose home is in Qua
tamaIa, stating that she was enjoying the
best Of health. 49, tlr..l. g.
The letter was full Of good cheer, stating
among other things, that they would move
into their new house within a month,
Mr.. Smith is in charge of a large fruit
growing establishment, owned and con-
trolled by American capital. The business
is extensive and exceedingly, profitable,
and Mr.. Smith perhaps more than any
other one person is responsible in large
measure for its prosperity. ...
Mrs. Smith was the youngest daughter
of our fellowtownsman, Mr.. T. G. Seal.
She was an exceptionally beautiful and at
tractive girl, and during her stay here last
summer, it was evident that residence in
Central America had detracted nothing
from her charming personality.
AS child Mrs. Smith had that sunny
disposition that made for her many
friends. When she was married here only
few years ago, and started on her long
voyage to. Central America, she went in
the assurance that she carried with her
the best wishes Of every person in her ma
tive city. How sad, then the cablegram
which only few days ago announced her
sudden death! The message did not state
the cause of her death, and this will not be
known until her body arrives, which will
not be for several days yet. -.
Deepest sympathy is felt for the family
of the deceased here. Their great burden
of sorrow is augmented by the long and
trying suspense that must be endured un-
til the body arrives.
Abbeville has had more than her share
of shocking deaths in the last six weeks,
any one of which would have carried
gloom to the hearts of the majority of her
people.
AS a result OF the three recent deaths,
all of young people, in the prime and
promise Of life, there is scarcely home in
the city that is not in the deepest sorrow.
All too true seems the expression: death
loves a shining mark"

The Real "White Slave. ("

Between June and December nearly $50
girls were sought in Kansas City as miss
ing" having left home without explana-
tion. The ages OF nearly all of them were
between fifteen and twenty one. Nearly
all OF them were found. Many were in
duced to go home. None were found in
captivity or under any sort Of restrain.
A prominent representative of the welfare
board is quoted by a Kansas City paper as
follows: Not nearly all the girls leave
home with men. OF course the tail away
from home leads to man sooner or later,
but mauy deserter is innocent enough
when she starts out. She is just tired OF
her own dull fireside. She has d job down
town and she believes if she gets a room
some place else she will be more indepen-
dent. So she goes to the cheap rooming
house-the Matching ground Of evil. She
gets into hall bedroom or into a squalid
little fiat with some other girl, and she
finds that her Sc or So week dosent bring
her any more brightness than she had al
home. The home restraint is gone, and
she takes the first chance she gets to dine
in a chop suey cafe or cabaret. The rest
of the way is plain. The police say leav
ing home usually leads to destitution. U
