sources Of the allies, the chancellor
said:
I'm this struggle resources are al
most of paramount importance. This
is a war not merely of men, but even
more Of equipment. 1t is in this that
the allies have fallen short Of their
great enemy, because Of the prepc-a
tions he has been carrying out for
years and years. In this matter time
counts. In men our resources dre
greater, and in money our resouces
are greater. Time and a full appli-
cation of these resources-bold, cour-
ageous and resolute application of I'll
our strenth-that is all that is neces-
sary. If We do it we shall win"

HITCH IN EDUCATIONAL LAW.
Lawyers Hold That Elections Cannot
be Held Legally Next June Under
Provisions of Act.

Spartanburg. Feb. 23.-According to
number Of the leading lawyers of
the Spartanburg bar South Carolins's $
new compulsory education law may
not become operative until year
from next June. The last section OF
the act reads: This act shall be in
force and effect from and after the
first day of July, 1915" Another Sec
ton Of the law says election upon the
question of having the law applied
shall be held on the second TUESDAY II,
June, 1915, or the second Tuesday in
June OF any subsequent year." The
contention Is that the elections which
the act provides for the approachirg
June cannot be held legally, because
no part Of the act becomes effective
until in the following July. Unless it
is specifically stated when an act is ID
become effective it becomes opera alive
twenty days after the governor has
signed, but in this law it is stated that
1t shall not be in force until July, 1915.
Mr. ii. e. Ravenel today called atten-
uon to this matter, and other mem
bers Of the local bar have agreed with
him that no election en- the question
OF compulsory education can be held
until June, 1916.

Washington Administration Awaiting
Reply from England and Germany.

Washington, Feb. 25.-The solu-

rests with Great Britain. The Amer

from London. Generally felt in high
