ENGLISH KING OFFERS
TOAST TO WILSON

London, Sept. 17.-At a dinner
held at Windsor Castle King George
proposed the health of President Will
son. In the course of short speech
the King said:
"It will, 1 think, be an everlasting
test of the wisdom and good sense of
the American people that in the most
trying and difficult circumstances
they stood Loyalty united behind Pres
ident Wilson. Mr.. Wilson's action
throughout the period of difficulty
has justified the faith and confidence
of the American people"
This is the first occasion on which
the health of the President of the
United States has been proposed at
the English royal table by its Sover-
eign. Queen Mary also has been sig
nally polite to American women, and
there have been several entertain
ments at Buckingham Palace in the
last few months at which the only
women present were Americans.

ALFALFA GROWERS.

Mr.. w. W. Long of Clemson COL
lege, Mr.. E. C. Hall, of Columbia,
who is engaged in farm demonstra-
ton work in Richland County, and
Hon. Clarence Poe, Editor of The
Progressive Farmer, Raleigh, N. c.,
will be in Abbeville on Saturday to
address the alfalfa growers Of Abbe-
vile County, and any other farmers
who may be present.
County Demonstration Cheatham is
anxious to secure large audience for
these speakers, both for the reason
that they are experts in the matters
on which they will talk and for the
further reason that alfalfa growing
in Abbeville County is of great i'm
portance to the farmers and the sub
ject needs discussion.
The meeting will commence in the
Court House at 1890 o'clock. Every
farmer and business man in the
County is urged to be present.

GOVERNOR MANNING
PAROLES KOBT. KENNELS

Columbia, S. G., Sept. 1s.-Gov-
ernor Manning today granted
parole during good behavior, to
Robert Kennels, young white man
convicted at the October 1914 term
of Court in Greenwood County, be-
fore Judge Sease, and sentenced to
serve fifteen months on the public
works of Greenwood County. This
is the same case in which the Cover
nor, on August 3rd, last, granted pa
role for ten days for the purpose of
allowing the prisoner to visit his
mother, who was at the time very i'll.
The prisoner returned to the chain
gang promptly at the expiration of
the ten days, and is reported to have
been a model prisoner.
Judge Sease, who presided at the
trial, recommended that the sentence
be commuted to ten months: the
Prosecuting Attorney, Solicitor R.
A. Cooper, also requested that the
prisoner be paroled. Several letters
have been received by the Governor
in the case; and the Board of Par
dons unanimously recommended that
the, sentence be commuted. In ad-
dition to this the Governor today re-
ceived the following letter from DR..
John w. Williams, Of Honea Path:
"Wish to state that Mrs. Kennels
is gradually growing weaker every
day and before many days have gone
she will have passed into the great
beyond. She is unable to get up at
all and is absolutely helpless.
81 would like very much to see he1
last days made as happy as possible
and anything you can do will be
gratefully appreciated to ali parties
concerned"
Among the papers filed in this case
is a letter from the magistrate be-
fore whom the preliminary was held
in which the Magistrate states thai
this boy was, in his opinion, led into
the trouble by bad companion, ant
that Kennels has been sufficient!

.BERNST0RFF CAN
SETTLE PROBLEM
GERMANY LEAVES QUESTION
ENTIRELY IN THE HANDS OF
AMBASSADOR

Berlin, via London, Sept. 18.-AA
full settlement of the submarine pro-
hlem can probably be arranged by
negotiations in Washington. Count
Won Bernstorff, German ambassador
to the United States, is in possession
Of complete information regarding
the wishes and policy of Germany, so
the Associated Press is informed, and
has been given power to negotiate
terms of settlement with the United
States subject only to final revision
and approval by the home govern
ment.
A long report on the submarine sit
uation was received here from Count
Won Bernstorff Thursday and long
message of instruction went forward
to the ambassador this morning. Both
dispatches were of a nature which
seems to make officials confident the
whole submarine question can be set
tied satisfactory.
The form which the negotiations
are now taking goes to strengthen
this optimism. for Count Bernstorf
is in a position to communicate many
things not adapted to inclusion in a
public note but of nature to con-
vince the American government of
the good faith behind Germany's' as
surances and the governments set
tied determination to remove the
sources of the conflict on the subma-
rine question.
The hope is expressed here that the
negotiations can be pushed through
without delay, and that no further is
sues may be brought in to complicate
q settlement.

BRYAN TO co TO
EUROPE TO TALK PEACE

Washington, Sept. 17.-Plans to
send former Secretary Bryan on a
mission of peace to the warning ma.
tons of Europe were the subject of q
conference here today between the
former cabinet officer and DR. William
Forgo, representing editors of Amer.
ican newspapers published il foreign
languages.
Before visiting Mr.. Bryan, Mr.
Forgo in a public statement set forth
the plan as so far developed, which
contemplates personal visit by Mr.
Bryan to belligerent nations to argue
for peace. In his statement DR.. Forge
said that Mr. Bryan already had given
him the impression that if the trip
were undertaken Mr.. Bryan himself
twill for the love of the cause not
cnly sacrifice his time, but will also
Fay his own expenses"
The statement lauded the former
secretary of state, saying that "in all
Europe, belligerent or neutral coun,
tries, there is no American held ir
greater esteem than Mr.. Bryan"
DR.. Forgo said Mr.. Bryan probably
would announce his plans after to-
days conference.

"The quick advance in cotton is

crop. This will later sustain prices,
if there is no combination of rnoneyed
interests to force cotton on the mar

RUSSIAN ARMY IS
IN GREAT DANGER
Won HINDENBURG CLAIMS TO
HAVE THROWN A LOOP
AROUND SLAV ARMY

London, Sept. 2O.-The Russian
army menaced since the fall of Vii
ma by the German encirclirg move
ment, is estimated variously at $780,
900 to 100000 men. The conditions
under which the Russians are at
tempting to extricate themselves fur
nish striking parallel to those which
followed the capture of Warsaw.
They may precipitate one of the
greatest battles fought on the eastern
front.
Although no official confirmation
had been received in London from
Petrograd today of the fall Of Wilma,
the British press has accepted the
German claim readily in view of the
situation that had been developing
Concern is expressed for the retiring
Russian forces. So far as can be
judged, Field Marshal Won Hinden-
burg's troops have flung loop about
the Russians over a front of some
200 miles and are not only in then
rear but are menacing seriously the
single railway line and the few avail
able wagon roads stretching to the
south.
As at Warsaw, the number of Rus
sian prisoners left behind with the
evacuation of Wilma was not great.
Apparently the only way in which the
retiring forces may ameliorate the
seemingly bad situation is by a coun-
ter blow.
1t is pointed out that the Won Hin
denburg's cavalry has penetrated so
deeply into hostile country as to
create salient open to sudden at
tack, if the Russians should be able
to command reinforcements at the
proper time and place, but it is not
believed here that they are in posi-
ton to deal such a blow effectively.
There is much speculation as to
the German objective. Opinion is di-
vided whether Won Eindenbnrg will
seek merely to close his loop, thus
capturing the army within the net, or
will press eastward toward Minsk and
from the west through Slonim and
again try for a decisive victory. Sim
liar tactics attempted after the fall
OF Warsaw met with failure.
The Russians are employing their
familiar rear guard tactics, ard the
hope is expressed in the British press
that they will be able to fight their
way out without shattering losses.
Next to Warsaw, Wilma is the most
important town in western Russia. It
is railway junction of great military
Importance. 1t was from Wilma that
Napoleon fled in disguise in 1872
during the retreat from Moscow.

MAMMOTH LOAN
BY SYNDICATE
FINAL DETAILS YET TO BE AR.
RANGED BY COMMISSION
AND FINANCIERS

New York, Sept. 19-The proposed
mammoth credit loan to Great Brit

underwritten by a syndicate of Amer
ican financiers and bankers who are

vices. The securities offered, it was
said. will be British and French 8
uer cent, government bonds and the
rrice to the investor is to be par.
The amount of the loan, it was re-
ported, is as yet undetermined, but
will be between S600,00O,0oO and
100000, 1000.
Whether war munitions will be in
Guided within the scope of the credit
has not been decided, it was believed
tonight. The underwriting syndicate
it was reported. would be the largest
Of its kind in the United States and
probably will be open to nearly all
national banks, trust companies and
State banks that care to participate.
While the amount to be paid these
banks was not annonced in per-
centages, it is understood the profit
will be a small one, possibly one-half
of 1 per cent.
Elimination of reported differences
between American financiers and the
Anglo-French commission over the
manner of placing the loan ap-
rarently has resulted in a victory for
the American financiers. 1t has been
reported the commission wanted the
loan placed by subscription and that
there should be no underwriting SYM
dicate.
So far as the plan has now devel-
oped, the intention of the ccnferees,
it is reported, is to open their books
tc virtually all banks, or all, who
wish to participate and to place the
bonds with any and all of them, pro-
German and otherwise, at a figure on
" shade better than that which the
investor will pay.
One vital. issue yet remains for de-
cision, whether the big sum realized
by the sale of the bonds will he avail
able for payment of war munitions.
Chief of minor details yet to be
worked out is the matter of Russia's
Farticipations.
The indications were tonight that
munitions would be excluded. Two
ether ways for paying for munitions
ore open:
Payment in gold to be shipped to
the United States from abroad, or
payment by the sale in this market of
American securities owned in Great
Britain and France.
1t was said to be within the range
of possibilities that a separate credit
loan would be established to provide
for ammunitions, but this was re-
garded as unlikely.
Whether Russia will participate in
the loan will depend, it is said, wholly
on the conference at London by the
Russian and French ministers and
the British chancellor of the ex-
chequer.
There will be no definite announce
ment of an agreement tomorrow.
This became definitely known to-
night. The situation is regarded as
encouraging, but there are points to
De agreed on that will require some
days to settle. A fortnight more may
bring an announcement that both
sides have agreed on all details.
!, The commission will continue its
meetings tomorrow with American
financiers.

GARRISON WILL ASK
FOR $250,0OO,0OO
ENORMOUS SUM TO BE EX-
PENDED FOR THE NATIONS
DEFENSE.

| dSHlnSIoH, OepC. 1S.-Secre'
tary Garrison will ask Congress, il
President Wilson gives his approval
for $3.50, 100000 to strengthen the
nations military defenses.
His estimates are now practically
complete and ready for submission
to the President. The last Congress
appropriated only $109,OOO,OOO fol
the military establishment, including
the army, the State militia, fortifca.
tions and West Point.
Whether Congress will be able to
grant the Secretary's estimate, how.
ever, is problematical.
Keeps Plans Secret.
Mr.. Garrison himself will shed no
light on his plans or give any hint of
Row he would expend the vast sum
which seems necessary for what he
terms reasonable preparedness" 1t
IS said, however, that if Congressman
are staggered by proposed expendi-
ture of $14i, 100000 more than was
carried in last years army appropri-
alton measures, it would be just as
we'll if they never knew what the
board of general officers appointed by
Mr.. Garrison to investigate the coun-
try's military defenses, proposed.
This board was designated by Mr..
Garrison some six months ago and
consisted of the chief of staT of the
army, Major General Scott, and the
heads of the several bureaus. The
members were instructed to 60 over
the whole situation and propose rec
concentrations for the increase of the
present regular army, the creation of
a reserve, the strengthening of the
present coast defenses and field artil-
lery and the abolition of useless army
posts.
This committee brought in a report
calling for the expenditure Of $780,
100000. 1t is now certain that it will
never see the light of day in it's ORR
ginal form.
To Strengthen Army.
In view of Secretary Garrison's re-
peated assertions of his appreciation
of the fact that this country is, and
always will be, opposed to 4 large
standing army, it is taken for grant
ed that he will seek the achievement
of reasonable preparedness through a
reserve. 1t is pointed out that an in
crease from $4,000 to 10000 regular
troops, and perhaps 1000 officers,
may be sought to bring the total ar
my up to something less than $50 1000
men.
AS the State militia does not stand,
and never has stood, very high in the
estimation of army officers, it would
not be surprising if Mr.. Garrison
sought to withdraw Federal support
from that organization and place his
dependence on trained reserve of
about 100000 men, so the United
States could announee an armed
force with a combined army of not
less than 100000 men at the outset.

SAD DEATH OF
ENGINEER BAER
STRUCK ON HEAD BY MAIL
CRANE, FRACTURING HIS
SKULL
The people of this city were griev-

Inc people Ol CnlS clCy were SrieV-
ed and shocked by the untimely
death of Engineer C. D. Baer. Of the
Seaboard, which occurred in Athens,
Saturday morning.
Mr.. Baer left Abbeville Friday on
his regular run to Atlanta, His
train was double-header, and he
was running the front engine. He
was just in front of the, passenger
train and at Carlton, which is a
flag stop, the mail pounch had beer
placed on the crane from which it is
taken by the passing train. Mr..
Baer was leaning out of his window
watching something about his engine,
and overlooked the fact that the
crane was in place. He was struck
in the head by it and died from the
effects of the wound produced on
Saturday as stated.
Mr.. Baer was native of Atlanta.
He moved to Abbeville with his wife
and interesting family of children
several years ago. He was faith
full engineer of his employer, and a
respected citizen of the city. His
wife and children are greatly beloved
by the people of the city, and especi-
ally by those who know them best.
They have the sympathy of a host
of friends in this sad bereavement.
The deceased was faithful men,
Der of the Abbeville Presbyterian
Church. He was also a member of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-.
gineers, and stood well with his breth-
rem. AS a mark of respect, large
number of the resident engineers at
tended his funeral in Atlanta. Mr..
Pratt, his pastor, also attended the
funeral.
The following account of the acci-
dent is taken from the Athens Dialy
Herald:
AS result of injuries which he re-
ceived while driving his engine yes
terday afternoon, Engineer C. D.
Baer, of the Seaboard railroad, died
this morning at 6 o'clock at the St.
Mary's hospital in Athens.
Mr.. Baer was ENGINEER on the
southbound train which passes
through Athens at GIT and which
was run in two sections. Yesterday
his section had two engines and he
was driving the first one. At Carl
ton he leaned rather far out of one
of the windows and his head was
struck by an iron mail pouch crane.
These are put at the flag stops to
grab the mail.
. The mans skull was fatally crush
ed. His head was wounded from a
point over one eye around his head
to the base of the skull.
His friends hurried him to Athens,
where he was put in a conveyance
and hurried to the hospital. After the
physicians had made a careful exam
ination they stated that there was
not much chance for him to live.
Every aid known to medicine was
used to save his life. This morning
at 6 o'clock he passed away.
Mr.. Baer was AZ years old and is
survived by wife and seven child
rem, who live in Abbeville, S, c.
