SOUTH CAROLINA BOYS
ON THE MEXICAN BORDER
A Weekly News Letter From the
Palmetto Soldiers Now Stationed
al Fort Bliss, Texas.

The South Carolina boys have
been undergoing strenuous program
OF field training, first by companies,
then by battalions. next by regi'
ments, that followed by brigade and
now they have been formed into d.
vision with four additional brigades
from other states and will be put
through several days OF field ma
roeuvres. The division will be under
the command of General Morton. The
press dispatches Of the week from 81
Paso mentioned the fact that the Pal-
metto soldiers with the rest OF their
division would be taken for hike TO
IA Cruces, N. NJ, which is some ~
miles from their camp. They will go
fully equipped, just as II they were
taking the field during actual war ana
will undergo all the training which a
big army experiences in the field dur
ing war times.
OF all the National Guard organl-
cations which were encamped in the
Ell Paso patrol district, it was SAID
that Massachusetts, ranked first in er'
fciency, Michigan second and South
Carolina third. Both Massachusetts
and Michigan had been on the border
six weeks before the Palmetto boys
arrived and it must also be rem=m-
bered that those states appropriate
nanv times the amount Of money for
their National Guard that South Caro-
lima does. Their states are more pros
porous and have more money to give
them, for one thing.
The soldier boys are all working
hard and doing whatever Is gwen
them without murmuring. OF course
they think lot Of home and would
like to be back with their people, but
thew are not kicking and "cussing'
like some. They do feel as If they
ought not to be kept sitting down on
the Texas plains in a concentration
camp indefinitely. They responded to
the call to arms when it looked as IT
there was going to be trouble with
Mexico. and they today would 90 over
the Rio Grande with a shout If orders
came from Washington to invade Me:'
ico They have been in camp now
since June IS, either at Styx or IN
their present location seven miles out
OF El Paso on the Texas plains.

At the opera house addresses were
made by the guests of honor to a
crowd OF several hundred people.

tically applauded. His address was
more humorous than serious.
The features of the evening were
the announcements by Congressman

entered the home Of J. A. Rainwater,
living a few miles out from Cheraw

cheek and scratching it's face. The
cat also bit a dog and goat, the

cat came back and bit John Trouble

WAR VIRTUALLY BROUGHT
TO SHORES OF THE
UNITED STATES.

The European war virtually
has been brought to the shores
Of the United States. In the
vicinity Of Nantucket, off the
Massachusetts, coast, a German
submarine - or possibly more
than one-Sunday sent to the
bottom Of the Atlantic Ocean at
lsast four British steamers and
two neutral sessels-one Dutch
and the other Norwegian.
The sunken boats. were the
Stephano, Strathdene, West
Point and Kingston, flying the
British f'as and the Bloom
ersjidk, Dutch, and Christian
Knudsen, Norwegian. So far as
known, there were no fatalities.
The Stephano carried 80 pas
sensers, all Of whom were
saved.

Travellers Ali!

In vain we multiply the articles Of
progress. The universally Of travel
has made US forget its meaning.
To share your pleasures with all the
world is to lose them. Above all,
steam and gasoline have killed the
spirit Of adventure.
There are very few wanderers left
who are willing to take their chance
Of a nights lodging under the stars.

MANY AMERICAN PASSENGERS

Newport Society Set Proffers Help to
Shipwreeked Rescued by y. S. Ma
val Massachusetts Cargo Not
Heavy.
Newport, R. 1.-The British steamer
Stephano, bound from st. Johns. n.
F.. to New York. carving nearly 100
first and second cabin passengers, in
cluding many American touris1 was
sunk of Nantucket hghtship at 4:3o
p. m. Sunday. presumably by the Ger
man submarine U-53. The United
States torpedo boat destroyer Balch
reported the loss OF the liner by radio
to the naval station here. stating that
the ship had been torpedoed. The
message from the destroyer said that
the crew was safe aboard the Balch,
but made no mention OF the passen-
gers, who, it was thought here, also
were taken care Of.
Confirmation OF the rescue o. the
passengers by the Balch was con-
tanned in a later message sent by the
destroyer to the naval station here. It
was said that she had picked up the
passengers and later had transferred
the Americans to the destroyer Jen-
kins.
Rear Admiral knight, commandant
OF the Narrangansett naval district
said that the passengers who desired
to do 50 would be allowed 20 remain on
the warship until morning and that
every effort would be made by officers
and. nen to make them as comfortable
as possible. At the same time. he
said, il any Of those picked up wanted
to be set ashore their wishes woulc
be complied with as promptly as pos
sihle.
Society Offers Aid.
Members Of the so-called Newport
society set were prompt to extend prof
fsrs OF help to shipwrecked passengers
