THE WAR TODAY

Paris mentions heavy cannonad-
ing in several districts along the
FrancO-Belgian front. A with
drawal of French troops along a
200 metre front in the Hartmans-
Weilerkopf sector after a violent
bOmbardment by the Germans is
admitted. Two German munitions
dep0ts in Belgium were blown up
by French guns.
The latest dispatches from the
southern extremity of the Russian
front indicate continued heavy
fighting with the Russian army Of
General Ivanoff gaining. One cor
respondent reports these opera
tons began with an offensive
movement by Austrians, designed
to straighten their line, and that
after repulsing this attack, the
Russians assumed the initiative.
The Russian advance has now ex-
tended considerably beyond the
Stripa river.
In other dispatches 1t is assert
ed that the Russians having adj
vanced as a threat against the
Teutons In their Balkan opera
tons. the Austrians and Germans
felt the necessity of improving
their positions against the attack
expected from General Iyanoff
early in the spring.
1t Is reported that the central
powers are planning an attack ON
SaIoniN but they are said to be
expecting difficulties with Bulga-
ria, which does not wish to partie-
ipate In such a campaign unless 1t
promises something more than ex-
pulsion OF the allies from Saloniki.
Greece has protested to Ger
many against the aeroplane attack
on Saloniki. Germany and her al
lies den0unce the arrest of the
eonsuls as violation of interna-
tionaI law. Bulgaria already has
retaliated by arresting the French
vice consul at Sofia

Washington, Jan. as Marching
shoes, reinforced with hobnails are
recommended for the foot regiments of
the army by Inspector General E. A.

not stand the test of campaign service.
Shortage of line officers is serious
menace to the service, the report as

on the line for other duties. A corps
of officers for instruction for militia
and other duties away from the troops
is urged.

London. Jan. 8, (5:06 a. m)-The
possibility of British liners which are
using the Mediterranean, changing
their route, as the Dutch and Japanese
steamships already have done is being
discussed In the press, but it is pointed
out that the British mail boats are in
a different position. They are under
contract with the government to carry

NIT Expedition to Visit

UNDER STRICT ORDERS
Belligerents Exacting in Elk
tending $4,000 Favor
to Pacificists.

Copenhagen, Jan. (via London,
1920 a. m.)-The German govern
ment has granted the Ford peace ex-
petition permission to travel to The
Hague through Germany by special
train. The party will leave Copen-
hagen next Friday.
The final arrangements for the trip
were made through the German con-
sulate at Copenhagen, who, after con-
sultation with Berlin, announced that
his government was willing for the
mission to proceed through German
territory. This permission was grant
ed despite the refusal of the Ameri-
can state department to extend the
passports of the members of the par
ty to cover a belligerent country.
Travel Under Seal.
The conditions under which the
Americans will travel are strict.
Their train will be sealed, every one
being locked within. None will be
permitted to touch German soil dur
ing the journey. The members OF
the commission will not be permitted
to carry written, printed or type
written papers. The concealment OF
any paper, even of an innocent char
acter, will result in complications fol-
the entire party. Other things that
the party must abandon before reach
ing German territory are cameraa
postcards, opera glasses and gold
coin. Most Of the baggage of the
expedition will be shipped back to
the United States from Copenhagen
1t is announced that the expedition
will disband at The Hague on Jan
-, most of the members returning
home from Rotterdam on that day.
Project More Picturesque.
That the peace expedition will be
able to travel through a belligerent
country, even though its journey is
under special guard with the mem.
bers of the party almost as prisoners
Is regarded in Europe as the most
picturesque feature that this unique
project has developed.
For days the managers of the party
were perplexed as to how they could
reach The Hague, which previously
had been selected as the party's ulti-
mate goal. The United States gov
eminent had refused to extend the
passports of the delegates SO as to
enable them to travel through Ger
many, although an appeal had been
made to Minister Morris at Stock
holm and to Minister Egan at Copen-
hagen to this end Definite word
came from Washington, however, it is
declared, that the peace party must
be kept out Of warning countries, as
it's presence in them might entail
complications.
To Be $4,000 Trip.
Finally CASTOR Plaintiff, Mr.. Ford's
representative, went to the German
minister and consul in Copenhagen
offering to pay $4,000 for special
train and explaining that the party
did not desire to remain on German
soil. The request was granted, pro-
vided the peacemakers hold them
selves to the strictest military laws.
1t is understood the German rail-
road refused to accept any pay above
the usual rates for such trips.
The announcement the Darty will
disband at The Hague on Jan. IL, as
explained, means only that those who
are not connected for places on the
permanent peace board will depart.

No Executive Clemency.

The electrocution of Joe Grant, the
negro who killed Mr.. burst at john
ston 10 years ago, closes case that
has been given unusual prominence and
undue notoriety. The wide publicity
resulted largely from his resisting be-
ing brought back to South Carolina for
trial after being arrested in Philadel-
phia.
Grant was tried at the March term
of court and was found guilty of mur-
der in the first degree. Yielding to
the efforts of Grants counsel, and in
order that he might make''a thorough in
vestigation of the case, Governor Man
ming granted reprieve of 30 days.
During that time influences were
brought to bear upon the governor by
both sides.
While the governor was at Red Hill
the other day, learning that there were
several jurors present who sat on the
Grant case, he held conference with
them in order that he might get first
and what information he could bearing
upon the case. Monday morning he
again gave the attorneys for Grant
another hearing in his office in Colum-
bia. But after very serious and
careful consideration of the matter.
He decided that the sentence of the
court should stand, giving out the fol-
lowing statement:
~ have carefully considered all
phases OF this case and have given it
my best thought. l have reached the
conclusion that Joe Grant received a
fair trial and that the verdict of the
Jury was in accordance with the evil
dence. Therefore I do not feel JUS
tilted in interfering with the sentence
of the Court. The verdict of the jury
and the sentence of the Court will be
carried out. y
While some citizens who felt that
there were extenuating circumstances
and that Grants sentence should nave
been commuted, yet we believe the
vast majority of the citizenship of
Edgefeld county are of the opinion that
Governor Manning acted wisely in al
lowing the verdict of the jury and the
sentence of the court to stand.
