The defeat of the Russians in west
ern Galacia last week by the Aus
trians and Germans, is a matter of
very considerable significance, if not
an actual crisis, in the war. The
fighting had been going on in the
Carpathians for several weeks, with
varying success and the Austro- Hun
garian forces were having great deal
of difficulty in keeping the Russians
out of the plains of Hungary. The at
tack to the north of the main fighting
was made in tremendous force and
the Russians stood their ground with
great bravery and determ nation: but
was close akin to a rout From Ger
man sources the opinion is expressed
that the principal result of this battle
will be the collapse of the attempted
movement through the Carpathians.
British authorities say that while there
is no doubt the Germans have won Il
very important success, it is not of q
great deal of significance so far as
general results are concerned. 1t
seems quit ereasonable with it all that
If the Germans can get the upper
hand Of the Russians to an extent that
will put them on the defensive, the
Germans will be able to use their
forces in larger and more irresistible
numbers in Belgium and France.

The Columbia correspondent Of the
News and Courier has sent his paper
a story of quarter of a column about
an alleged secret organization that
has sprung up among the farmers Of
Lee and Kershaw counties, and that is
said to already have membership of
l,1OO or more. According to the cor
respondent he has been unable to get
any definite information, except that
he understands that the admission fee
is 10 cents and the dues are 20 cents
a year. The purpose of the organiza-
ton is said to be political; but even
that is not stated definitely. AS to
what need there is for such an organ
ization, if any, does not appear; but
we do not doubt the possibility Of its
existence, at least in an incipient
stage Secret and exclusive organiza-
tions Of various kinds are quite COM
mon throughout the towns and cities
of the state, and generally they are for
the purpose Of furthering the plans OF
individuals or cliques rather than the
common interests. Just what there is
behind this alleged movement Of the
farmers, if anything, remains to be
seen.

During the past few weeks the Ger.
man submarines have been giving es-
pecial attention to the destruction OF
British trawlers in the North sea-
The North sea is the best stocked fish
ing ground in the world and England
consumes hundreds Of thousands OF
tons of sea food from there annually
The trawlers are busy constantly ir
their efforts to supply the British pub
lie with such food. During the earlier
part Of the war, the trawlers were not
molested except when they were en-
gagged in mine sweeping or otherwise
acting in connection with hostile ships
But since the British government has
been tightening down in its efforts to
prevent food supplies from reaching
Germany the Germans have increased
their efforts to smash British shipping
of all kinds and have given especial
and particular attention to the de-
struction of trawlers, a dozen OF
more Of which they have sent to the
bottom within the past two weeks.

CHANGE THE NAME BILL

Here Is a copy of the bill sent to
the general assembly at its last ses-
sion in an effort to get that body to
change the name Of the town without
first submitting the matter to a vote
Of the people in accordance with the
procedure already fully provided fol
in an existing statute:
An Act to Change the Name Of the
Town Of Yorkville, the County Seat
Of York County, from "Yorkville'
to York"
Section /. Be 1t enacted by the
general assembly Of the state Of South
Carolina that the name of the county
seat Of county Of York, which Is now
"Yorkville," be and the same is hereby
changed to that Of York"
Sec. 2. That all the rights, privi-
leges, immunities, liabilities and mu-
nicipal prerogatives under and by vir-
tue of the constitution and laws Of the
state Of South Carolina, which have
heretofore belonged to the town of
Yorkville, the county seat of York
county, be and the same are hereby
transferred to the town of York.
Sec. 3. That nothing herein con-
any Of the rights which belong to the
creditors of the town of York: but
that all the obligations and liabilities,
including floating Indebtedness by
way OF bonds issued by the town Of
York be, and the same are hereby
transferred to and are the legal obli-
cations Of the town of York.
Sec 4. That all acts and parts of
acts inconsistent with this act, be, and
the same are hereby repealed.
Sec. S. This act shall take effect
Immediately upon its approval by the
governor.
The foregoing is as the drawers
thereof themselves had published, and
the presumption Is that it is correct.
As was stated in The Enquirer of
Tuesday. the fact of the presentation
of such Il bill is admission of belief
in the embarrassing complications
that would probably arise in the alb
sence of some statutory cure for such
possible complications.
The amateurish work evidenced in
the preparation of the foregoing won-
derful document would be amusing
were 1t not for the fact that there is
embodied in it all so much that is
suggestive Of the tragic.
Observe how this modern Lycurgus
would start into the general assembly
as a full 1edged Act" a document

A London dispatch of this mornint

A London dispatch of this morning
says that the japanese government
has sent an ultimatum to China, al
lowing the Chinese government 46
hours to accede to Japan's demands
The demands number twenty-four
and they are said to be as humiliating
as those which Austria tried to i'm
pose upon Servia. The belief through
out the civilized world is that Japan
is merely preparing to take advantage
of the world war to subjugate China
England is showing signs of indigna-
ton and the probability is that the
United States may be compelled to in
terfere. The situation appears to be
quite serious.

Policeman Richardson of the local
police force. has been engaged this
week In rounding up all dogs in the
town upon which a license tax of

received no notice Of the tax, had not
paid the same. About eighteen dogs
who bore no tax collar were rounded
up by the officer. The mayor, having
become convinced Of the truth Of the
protest, did not enforce the fine.

far as is known no lives were lost In
these encounters. Crews Of the fishing
vessels say the submarine was Of the
newest type and had an iron cross
painted on her coming tower. She
ran amuck among the fishing fleet and
sank seven trawlers in quick success
sion. The crews were given time to
escape, but in some cases the small
boats drifted for hours before they
were picked up. Each man coming
ashore exhibited a huge lump Of black
bread, given him by the crew Of the
submarine. The sailors are preserv-
ing these pieces of bread as souvenirs.
