Nine American officers who ac-
IGompanied Gen. Pershing to France

Hgeperal staff. These officers represent

They were sent with Gen. Pershing

Despite the fact these officers, or at
Est most fthem, have studied ev-
5ery move of the; war from long dis
&tance~ and were supposed to have
tfasrly clear idea of the situation, they
&.announced at the war department that
they had no conception of the situa-
Dtion until they had followed the line
of the trenches from Switzerland to

conditions and that virtually all
their preconceived notions were
hlty.
| According to the observers, the
German line on the western front is
virtually impregnable, as far as the
present alignment of forces is con-
cerned. The allies cannot bulge this
line unless they receive tremede1s
assistance from the United States.
4 There is no evidence whatever that
the backbone of the German Empire
IBs about to be broken because OF in
7 2krnal dissensions or of shortage OF
kods.
The Allied officers on the front ad-
i freely that they cannot break the
brman line with their present force
Temporarily, at least, Germany is in
ascendancy in the air. There are
present approximately five million

are facing approximately S,0O0,-

been informed repeatedly that the
Allies are looking to the United States
for the greatest kind of help, and un-
less this country meets their expecta-
tons it is useless to hazard an opin-
ion upon the time when the war may
end,
For the United States, the Russian
collapse may have an immediate and
direct bearing 1t will, if the German
staff presses its advantage, release
additional German forces to bolster
up the western front where American
troops are to be engaged. The Ger
man line in the west has not been
seriously impaired at any point, OIL
GERS believe. They do not claim to
know the situation along the battle
front, but they are unable to see that
the British and French have 'wrested
from the Germans any key position
c: such Importance that it can be
used next year to hurI the enemy
back. 1t has been noted, in fact, that
one stragetic advantage gained In re-
cent fighting was gained by the Ger
mans. Many officers here believe
that when a small sector of the Brit
ish line in Belgium was overwhelmed
and it's defenders nearly all captured
or killed, the Germans in. proved the
situation on their weakest front mate
rally. That view is based on the
opinion that the only hope of decisive
attainments for the allies in the west
lies in rolling up the German right
/. ak where it reaches the sea in Bel
GUM.
If that could be lone, it is argued
that the U-boat bases cov.d be stamp
ed out and the only offensive instru-
ment Of the Germans be eliminated
entirely or made Ineffective.
The big question. is whether it could
be done. 1t would require combined
army and navy operations on that
part of the Belgian coast held by the
Germans, for it would be necessary
to force landing, behind their line
and force the whole right flank back
from the see. as result
The price of victory Of this ma
ture against the U-boat and German
shore batteries probably woald lie ap-
palling, and there is nothing to indi-
cate that the effort is being seriously
considered at the present. However
many army men, both here end in
Great Britain, favor some such des-
perate attempt to bring the struggle
to a. conclusion.
Reports received from France give
no cheering picture Of what must be
done. There appears to be no doubt
that the allied line can stand against

FIVE BILLION WAR
BILL DELAYED

Washington, July 2S.-The senate
finance committee today decided to:
1. Increase the war revenue bill
from s1,670,O00 to s1,s43,000,0oo.
2. Confne it's work to raising only
money for appropriations already
made.
3. Refuse to interfere with the pre-
rogatiyes of the house which must
now take the responsibility Of raising
the additional s5,ooo,tee,00o just ask
ed for by Secretary MeAdoo.
May Wait.
It is the general opinion of the COM
mittee that as the government already
can count on s5,27s,oo0,ooo, the s5,-
1000 1000 900 appropriation asked Tor
by the secretary might be deferred
until December. The present reve-
nues. say committee members, is en-
tirely sufficient to carry the govern
ment until the winter session Of con-
gress. perhaps beyond. But this rests
with the house ways and means com
mittee.
The present plan of the senate com
mittee in raising the additional $685.
900 900 costemplates extra taxation on
three sources:
l. Income taxes on individuals and
corporations.
2 Taxes on excess profits.
3. Consumption taxes, probably on
yet untaxed sources.
The larger part of the money viii
no doubt come from the first named
source. The committee is not III
clined touse the other two, certain.
not the third unless absolutely neces-
sary.
Raise 1t.
The s273, 100000 increase in the wal
revenue bill is based on the fact that
estimates of s1,so3, 100000 were orig
inally sent to the house. That body
cut this to $1,000, 100000 and sent bill

COUNTY ALMSHOUSE

Plant and Manageemtn.
The Newberry almshouse was no
nearer to many of our standards at
this inspection than it was when it
was inspected in 1916. 1t scored 636
out of a possible 1000 points at this
inspection, and 637 points at the in
spection in 1916. -
This almshouse is deficient under
our standards chiefly because its per-
manent plant contains no hospital faci-
lities, dining rooms or living rooms
beside their dormotories; it's superin-
tendent does not keep adequate rec
ords of the inmates; does not attend
to the sanitation in approved ways;
and the commissioners have not
screened the paupers' quarters nor
equipped them we'll, have not provided
sanitary facilities of the best sort.
and have not given the paupers three
meals a day.
In fact, the Newberry almshouse,
like the almshouses in practically all
the smaller counties in South Caro-
lima, is but one more illustration OF tho
fact that the average county in this
state cannot provide and maintain by
itself an almshouse which will be
true hospital-home for paupers. The
fundamental remedy for conditions at
the Newberry almshouse (as well as at
the almshouses in many other coun-
ties in the State) is for Newberry ID
combine with other neighboring coun-
ties to maintain district almshouse.
We urge that the following recon-
mendations be put into effect imme-
dately at the Newberry almshouse;
recommendations as to SupernteRd-
ent's Management.
/. Keep a record in suitable book
of each pauper showing name, race.
sex and age; whether married, single,
or widowed; physical and mental con-
diticn: date of admission, date OF dis
charge, and reason for discharge.
2. Have the privies cleaned out
once a week and the sewerage buried
under three feet of earth.
3. Pile the manure from the sta
bic and lot in bin every day and
spread it on the fields once week.

JAPAN RUSHED
Italy Securing Loan to Back Her in
New Determined Drive Against
Germany in Austria.
TO AID ALLIES

Washington, July 2S.-Japan soon
will be a potent factor in the war
on the Russian front. This was in
dicated in official Japanese diplomat
ic circles today. Japan, long main
tanning a "watchful waiting" attitude,
has decided to throw her power in the
balance Already, it is believed, jap
anese troops are on t4ci. lay to
Russia to help Kerensky in strength
ening the Galician defenses.
Weeks ago it was indicated in the
international News Service dispatches
that Japan would take prominent
part in the war, but pledges of secre-
cv were extracted from all who knew
of them. The fact that the plans
contemplated sending troops to Rus
sia and that the ban of secrecy has
now been lifted, indicates to Entente
diplomats here that the troops are
already on Russian soil.
Doing Her Bit.
japan has been doing her "bit" for
months by sending munitions to Ru-
si... but the constant stream OF shelss
and guns went unnoticed by the pub
lie because the few who knew were
pledged to secrecy. The large imports
of gold from the United States 70
Japan which caused so much comment
here several months ago, and result
cd in various evasive answers from
the treasury department, are explalnea
bv the huge amounts OF material
bought here by the Japenese ana
later turned into munitions for the
Russians. Japan had huge trade
balance with the United States ana
she was using it up. Now the pur-
chases have exceeded the balances
and automatically the gold shipments
have dropped off.

Mobilization of Japanese in Man
cburia has been conducted for several
months by Japan. To those no'
knowing the wherefore, it was mex

made public Japan was getting

Along with the disclosure Oh
Japan's plans, came the unofficial an
nouncement that Italy was seeking
huge loan from the United States
for the financing of an expedition into
Austria. lillian diplomats hold that
the best way to smash Germanys

ting at Austria. Italy is the only
power in position to do this readily.
Italy is said to have more than 2'oW'-
eco men, many of them trained under

Paris, March 19.-FrOm 1000
feet in the sky, French expert anti
aircraft gunners last week at Com
peigne brought down in blazing ruins
giant German Zeppelin, one of a
number apparently returning from a
raid on England.
It fell in one of the main streets of
the city a chaTTed mass, those of it's
crew who remained aboard being
burned into. unacceptable masses. -
Two or three of the crew, mad with
pain of the flames and certain of
death, preferred to meet it otherwise
than in a mass of fire and jumped
thousands of feet to the earth.
Thousands gathered in the streets
to listen to the rattle of the anti-air-
craft guns and to cheer the marks
men. When one monster Of the sky
was hit there was a tremendous out
burst of cheering.
Meanwhile the Zeppelins from
their vast height aIOft had launched
several bombs at the town. No one
was hurt by them and the damage
was insignificant. The greater peril
came when the blazing mass of the
stricken Zeppelin shot down from
aIoft, gathering momentum as it fell
nearly two miles from the sky, but
no one was injured.
