Germans Entitled TO First Place.

1t matters not what feature or phase
of the war is considered, the Germans
generally excel. In engineering skill,
Workmanship and strategy, both on
land and sea, they are entitled to con-
siderable honor. And in the matter of
barbarity, cruelty and inhuman treat
ment of their enemies they are like
wise entitled to first place. The un-
speakable suffering of the Belgians
after their little country was invaded,
the use of poisonous gases where wo-
men and children were exposed, the
wanton destruction of the Lusitania
laden with human freight, many OF
whom were non combatants, were all
horrible enough, but the Germans do
not stop there. The shooting of Miss
Cavell, the British nurse who had been
nursing German and Belgian soldiers,
surpasses everything hitherto recorded
in the way of German atrocities.
1t matters not how the war ends,
granting that Germany gains favor
able settlement when peace is declar-
ed, she has lost the respect of the
nations of the earth. Centuries will
come and go before she willregain that
honorable place among the nations
which she held before she precipitated
the war.

MANY Deaths From Pellagra.

The Bureau of Vital Statistics for
South Carolina reports 1,083 deaths in
eight months from pelDagra, and GER
tainly numbers of deaths from this dis
ease were not reported. Just suppose
that number of deaths had been re-
ported from cholera or smallpox or
the plague! South Carolina people
would be in panic. But they are ap-
parently undisturbed over a disease
more fatal than the ones named. Rock

Legal Procedure
Throughout France
Demoralized by War

Correspondence Of the Associated Presso
PARIS Jan. 20--Legal procedure in
France has been disorgenized by the war.
Lawyers and witnesses in many civil suits
are at the front; many OF them have
fallen in battle and no one can now an
ticipate the extent TO which cases may
be confused by the disappearance of par

the Calmette family in the Cailiaux case.
and former chief OF the Order Of Avocats
OF tho Partisan bar. says that death GER
tlfioates are such an essential element In
all legal procedure concerning inheri-
tanoes, ana there have been already. and
will be so many more. unknown dead.
that the number OF probable tangled es-
tates is incalculable.
For the moment" Maitre Chenu adds.
Judicial life in France Is almost entirely
interrupted and viii continue 20 languiBh
until the end OF hostilities. We don't re-
greet H. Legal quarrels would seem TO US
to be an attack upon the sacred pact OF
union that the war has scaled between
all the citizens OF France"

the property OF German and Austrian

every day. showing that the number as
tabllshed in business in France was far

trations anticipated the number may
reach nearer 5000.
The practical suspension OF court pro-
ceedings gives Maitre Chenu leisure to
use his pen. and in the Partisan press he
