WILL COOPERATE IN
GUARD RELIEF WORK
Board Of Trade Pledges Support.
Believes Government Should
Provide Funds.

By action Of its executive committee,
the Board of Trade is to cooperate in
National Guard relief work, it was
announced today. A committee Of three
is to be appointed to act in conjunction
with such other organizations as may
be deemed advisable. The board pledges
its support in any efforts that may be
made for the proper maintenance Of
such dependent families.
Through other resolutions adopted,
however. the board places itself on rec
ord as believing that the primary duty
rests upon the federal government to
provide sufficient funds to insure rea-
sonable care and provision for such de-
pendent families" The resolution says,
in part:
TT Is unjust to the men who have
entered the service to place them In a
position where they are obliged to ask
a discharge because of their inability
to otherwise provide for those depend
ent upon them, inasmuch as such ac-
ton is liable to be construed as lack
of patriotism on the part of such ctti-
zens."
The board urges Immediate action by
Congress, and 1t is planned to have per-
sons in the states use their influence to
assist in having the necessary legisla-
ton passed.
The committee on investigation Of
the Citizens Welfare Association. of
which Mrs. William E. Harvey is chair
man, meets every other day at the
headquarters of the association, in the

for relief from families Of national

Ten such appeals came in Monday
and were settled al follows: Five were
money to pay rent, two were given
supplies of groceries and one was given
money to pay the gas bill.
According to Mrs. Alice I. Stuart, ex-
ecutive secretary of the association.
five appeals came in yesterday, all Of
which will be settled by tomorrow.

TO HASTEN EQUIPMENT
AND LESSEN THE LABOR
Army Quartermaster Depot for Ma
tional Guard in Each Congress
sional District Proposed.

A proposal that an army quarter
master depot be established in each
congressional district to hasten equip
ment of National Guard troops called
into federal service in an emergency
probably will grow out of the mobili-
cation of state forces for duty on the
Mexican border.
Delay in supplying the men with
clothing and camp equipment. said Brig.
Gen. Henry G. Sharpe, acting head of the
Quartermaster Corps. today is due to
the present depot system and not to
shortage.
have an extensive depot warehouse
system established. 1t now is neces-
sary to send Washington supplies from
Philadelphia. st. Louis or San Francis
CO. With separate warehouses in each
congressional district. it would take
only few hours to get SUPPLIES to the
troops.
Job Not an Easy One.
The quartermasters job may be COM
pared to that of a department store man
ager. In the matter of shoes alone army
requirements call for no less than ninety
sizes When a National Guard regiment
is summoned for service, acquisitions are
made on the quartermaster for clothing
Perhaps 1000 pairs of shoes are needed
with an equal number Of hats, uniforms.
leggins and other equipment. 1t Is no
simple matter for the depot quartermas-
ter to make up the shipments. The range
of sizes has not been shown as a rule
in the acquisitions and in a standard
worked out by the army showing the
probable number of given sizes needed,
an average 1000 men is used.
Variations From Normal.
If there is any variation from nor
NAL in a regiment, a delay follows
while that fact is reported and the
necessary number of smaller or larger
articles is packed and shipped.
With the congressional district ware
house plan in operation, army officials
believe a record could be made of
each mans requirements as he enlisted
and orders be filled with little delay.
1t is pointed out also that reserve
soldiers and commissioned officers
could care for supplies in storage, in
surfing proper handling and knowledge
Of requirements without great expense.

Elsewhere in this issue will be
found a poem in reference to the
change in the name of the battleship
Memphis to the Tennessee. It will
be read with interest in as much as
Lowrie Thornton, an Abbeville boy,
is on the ship. Since Lowrie has
been on the Memphis she has made a
tour around South America and has
been at Santo Domingo for eleven
weeks keeping the little Republic in
order. It was here that the Mem
phis was wrecked.
The middies had gone on board
after being on land for some time,
when there was some disturbance, a
volcona at the bottom Of the ocean,
which threw the ship on IA large rock
and wrecked her. The crew was
landed by means of chair boats, tax
ing about five hours. Only sixty-fve
of the nine hundred and thirty of the
crew being lost. It was a thrilling
experience for the young Abbeville
boy and his friends are glad to know
that he is back in the navy yard at
Norfolk waiting to be assigned to
another ship. He hopes to be as
signed to the Olympia and be sta
toned at Charleston.
Lowrie Thornton is fine looking
young sailor boy and his friends in
Abbeville are glad to know that he
is succeeding and that he is well and
happy.

BOYS EXPECTED IN TEN DAYS

Columbia, Nov. 20.-W. w. Moore
adjutant-general, began to prepare
fo rthe return of the First Regiment,
National Guard of South Carolina,
to Camp Moore at Styx in Lexington
county. The regiment has been or
dered back by the war department
and is expected to reach Camp Moore
in about ten days. The adjutant-
general was considering plans yester-
day for flooring the tents at Camp
Moore.
Opinion was decided in military
circles as to whether an order for
the return of the Second Regiment
will be issued in a few days. The
opinion was expressed that Troop A..
cavalry, Charleston Light Dragons,
will be kept on the border for sever
al months, because of the great ef-
ficiency of the unit.
It is probable that Capt. J. M. Gra-
ham, u. s. A., who has been on duty
at mobilization camps in the north,
will be ordered back to Columbia to
muster out the South Carolina troops
He is in the inspector-instructor of
the South Carolina National guard,
and was detailed temporarily to the
work in the north.
