~ rHE'suBAT OUR GATE.

1t is to be hoped that no extensive submarine
warfare is to be waged under our noses off our
coast. Not that it is illegal in itself, but because
the relations between this country and Germany
are somewhat strained over this kind of fighting
and a slip by a submarine commander may mean
serious action on our part.
Besides, this danger, there is another. The
Allied governments have protested against the
eight OF a submarine to use a neutral port for any
9uspose, and France has even gone so far as to
nold Spain responsible for the loss of a merchant
ship sunk by a German submarine which went into
! Spanish harbor.
Our government has repudiated this by open
ing her ports to submarines, both belligerent and
commercial, but the loss of a great many Allied
ships off our coast may cause the Allies to present
as a bill for the damage, as France has attempted
20 do with Spain.
Naturally we are not bound to pay the bill
out in these times every dispute avoided with good
conscience is to be commended and while we can
aot stop the operation of German submarines we
IAN at least hope that no complications will follow
nth either of the great alliances.

A RACE FOR CONsTANTINOpLE.

Violent attacks upon the Roumanians by the
Germans n the north have gained good progress
tor the central Powers IN Pennsylvania, and some
concern Is expressed in the capitals OF the LII
tente, who seem TO thlnk that the steady attacks
or the British along the Struna have Tor then
main purpose the ind rect aid which Will be afford,
ed Rouluanla.
While TINS supposition may be correct, it is
more probable that the tghtlng along the otruma
is the beginning OF az. extensive effort on the pari
OF the BRUSH 20 beat the Russians to Constant
tlnople. Russia, now halted along the railroad
line from Constanza, is 24O miles from the lur.
klsh capital. while the English army on the
Struma Is $50 miles away.
Inc advance OF both forces lies along the
coast; the British by the Aegean and Marmora
seas and the Russians by the shore OF the Black
Sea. OF the two the route of the British is the
easier although a trlt1e longer. Roughly speak
ing the situation can be understood II we reallze
that Constantlnople is at the bottom of a "V,,
surrounded on the left by two seas and on the
right by the Black Sea.
The British are advancing from one side ana
the Russians from the other. 1t is apparent then,
tnat these two armies may fight their way to a
junction across the "V' and proceed towards Con-
stantlnople, or that one Of them achieve the sue
cess alone by a march along the coast.
IN view OF the previous strife over the capital
OF the Ottoman empire it is an interesting little
race which is about to be staged.

CLARA klMBALL YOUNG IN

There is only one Clara Kimball
Young. Everybody remembers her
marvellous acting in Camille" 1.-THE
Feast of Life" "The Yellow Pass
port" "Lola," and the other master
pictures released in the past on the
World Program.
She is coming to the Greenwood
Theatre o in a new and wonderful
picture, "The Dark Silence" which
has been in preparation during the
past four months. In all that time
Clara Kimball Young has not been
seen upon the screen. In all her
splendid career as an actress she has
never enjoyed such opportunities for
brilliant and varied personation as
those provided in "The Dark Silence"
This play has been produced by the
World Film Corporation in a most
elaborate and lavish manner, under
the personal and famous direction of
Albert Capellani. Watch for its early
coming.

Because the town that is good enough for us
to live IN is good enough for Ls 70 buy IN.
because we believe in transactlng business
IN our home town.
Because some part of every dollar we spend at
home stays home and helps work for the welfare
OF the town and county, and the State.
Because the merchant we buy from pays his
snare OF the town, county and State taxes.
Because the merchant we buy from helps sup
port our poor and needy, our schools, our churches,
our lodges and homes.
Let US make Greenwood the best place in which
to work and live. It's easy and certain if every
one will do his share.
Inc dollar sent out of town seldom returns.
while the money spent at home is apt to leave a
scrapling at your door.
why not adopt the practice taught of spending
your money with your home people?

Headquarters OF the Italian Army,
Oct. 8.-(Cor. Associated Press.)-
The uniform Of the Italian army is

wearer doesn't even make a shadow"
said n visitor recently among the
party Of American officials that &C.
companied Ambassador Thos. Nelson
Page to the front.
The color is officially described as
gray-green. An Englishman tried to
convey his, idea Of it as follows: "Take
some blue Nile mud, rub in carefully
two pounds Of ship hair, paint a roam
horse with the composition, and then
you will understand why the Austri-
ans can't see the Italian soldiers in
broad day light at fifty yards"
The color was adopted ten years ago
especially Tor use IN mountain fight
ing 1t and a sand-colored yellow for
the Italian troops is expected to take
part in African desert fighting, as is
the case Of the Tripoli war.
The Italian army was among the
first to make a science of the oues-
ton of uniform colors. 1t did not Sc
lect, for instance, the aforementioned
uniform adopted more than a year
ago by the French because while this
is the least visible on roads and plains
OF a flat, open country, it would not
DO well in the rains and muds and
among the trees of the mountains.

LESS BEER, MORE BREAD.
Germany Finds a Way to Increase
Grain Supply.

Germany flnds q way 10 increase
Grain Supply.
Berlin, Oct. 12.-(Cor. Associated
Press.)-The newest suggestion for
saving grain in Germany is offered
by DR.. Bonnie, of Klein lottbeck, who
asks in a petition to the imperial
chancellor, that a rule be passed
whereby beer may be served only on
presentation of a bread card. His
plan is in effect to require all Ger
many to choose between bread and
beer as daily n~ourishment, instead of
allowing an unlimited consumption of
the latter. The petition is signed by
some 10000 persons.
The petition declares that $4,000
hundred-weight of barley is used dali
ly to make beer, or sufficient to feed
ten million persons for one day. A
liter of beer requires 23O grams of
grain, whereas the average daily
bread ration is but 22O grams. DR..
Bonnie insists that barley is just as
much a food as rye and white flour.
