Millions of Orphans in Europe.

Of the many disasters, misfortunes
and sad things incident to the war IN
Europe one that will appeal to every
heart is the millions of fatherless chill
dren that are left in the wake of bat
tie to be cared for either by penniless
mothers or by a bankrupt State. AL
ready the care of the orphans in
France is problem that is difficult of
solution. The orphans in France alone
number 100000 and the end is not in
sight.
At first thought, one is likely to say
a nation suffers most from war through
the actual cost in dollars and cents,
but the many billions of dollars of
debt that are being piled up is the
least of the losses. The slaughter of
the flower of nations manhood is the
heaviest loss, and following t!.is is the
failure toproperly equip the millions ct
orphans who are to recruit re ranks
of depleted citizensLip. Such losses
can never be pe:sured or computed in
dollars and .ents. Germany, England,
France and the other nations at war
wiz require dozens of generations to
restore the status that existed before
the war began.

united States Greatest COMMERCIALLY.

UuiteQ StdleS Sleolcsl SonAAAASAS'
The ill wind, in the form of the
worlds most disastrous war that is
making graveyard of Europe, has
blown many blessings to America. 1t
has made "Uncle, Sam" banker for
the nations of the earth and has made
him the leading manufacturer of the
world. And owing to the continued
devastation of the war and the de-
moralization that will exist many years
after peace has been restored, it is
probable that the United States can
maintain this commercial supremacy.
Statistics just issued by the census
department show that for the year
1915 the United States stood first in
exports. During the past Is years
the volume of exports of this country
has doubled, and the amount grows
greater from year to year. just
as the Individual who always has some
thing to sell steadily accumulates
wealth, so with the nation that ships
it's products abroad, receiving the cash
of other nations. Having gained com.
mercial supremacy, it is not likely
that the United States will lose first
place among the worlds exporters.

houses and hundreds of residences
covering thirty-odd city blocks were
devoured by the merciless flames. Three
or four hundred lawyers and other pro-
fessional men were put into the streets,
with their valuable libraries and office
fixtures reduced to ashes and scattered
by the wind. The two "skyscrapers,
the Empire and Chronicle buildings, al
through constructed upon modern and
scientific lines, were unable to success
fully resist the flames. Augustus two
newspapers, The Chronicle and The
Herald, succumbed with their neigh
bors, the plants of both being de-
stroyed. However, neither of the papers
missed an issue. Temporarily, The
Chronicle is being published in Macon
and The Herald in Thompson from the
plant of Watson's Jeffersonian.
While this blow is probably without
a parallel in the South, yet we believe
that Augusta will rise out of the ashes
a "Greater and Better Augusta. "
Wood and mortar and brick have
been destroyed by the flames, but the
undaunted Augusta spirit survives and
will cause to rise out of the ashes bu-
siness and residence blocks that will
do credit to cities tenfold larger than
Augusta.
Edgefield and Augusta have always
been closely bound by the strongest of
ties and The Advertiser joins with our
people in extending sympathy to the
stricken city across the Savannah.

THE IGNORED INIQUITIEs.

The partisan activity that sought
the aid OF the Department OF Justice
Of the Democratic National Admins
tration in an attempt 10 discredit sew
eral reputable Republican leaders in
Mcdowell and Mingo counties, IN pro-
curing indictments against them for
their alleged connection with election
irregularities, has had its reaction.
The purpose Of this prosecution was
but thinly yelled. Here were a Demo
cratic District Attorney and his assist
ants engaged in a hypocritical effort
on behalf Of the purity of elections,
when no move had ever been made to
bring TO justice indicted Democrats
in Logan county, where the most out
raseous crimes had been perpeTGted.
The Inconsistency Of the attempt to
hold Republican leaders up to- con-
tempt and to make false prediction
impression upon the people, while the
Democratic officials of Logan county
had not only refused to prosecute
those indicted for offenses against the
election laws, but freed them, was too
glaringly apparent.
1t is rather late in the day. but &C.
cording to District Attorney Barnhardt
these ignored cases will be taken up
by him. He has said so in an Inter
view. 1t has been two years since the
offenses were committed. They were
particularly aggravated instances Of
interference with the rights OF Repuh-
lican voters. In one precinct, the
strongest Republican precinct in the
county, no votes were cast. because
the Democratic Commissioner Of cleo
ton entrusted with the poll books
and other necessary election para
phernana absented himself, with the
result that no election was held In
that precinct. Now District Attorney
Barnhardt promises" to investigate
these cases. 1t Is rather Indefinite

work 10 have moved the Democrats to
proceed even as far as promising" TO
