CAMP WADSWORTH, S. C.. Oct. 20.
The unexpected arrival at this camp
to-day of two artillery inspectors from
Washington resulted in great display
by the New York Guardsmen who
handle the big field pieces. The three
regiments Of artillery we're put through
every possible, maneuvre under the
scrutinizing eyes Of Lieutenant Colo
mel Alfred A. Starbird and Major Daw-
son Olmstead, of the Inspector Gen
erals Department.
Batteries and battalions tore madly
across the uneven ground, wheeled, I'M
limbered and proceeded theoretically to
demolish trenches, Notifications, and
even to wipe out entire regiments OF
imaginary opponents. Other batteries
were sent careening madly over hill
and dale, under instructions to occupy
certain positions and to hide them
selves from the eyes of observing "ene-
mics" u was this work that brought
all the latest in camouhage into play.
Show Zeal In Camoulage
In the camoufsge work the big field
pieces were placed in rapidly dug eI-
cavations and then covered over with
shrubbery until the whole became an
unobtrusive portion Of the landscape.
1t is the first opportunity that the gun
ners have had for display since their
arrival in camp, and they made the
most of the opportunity, but when re-

Secretary Baker Of the War Depart

day. The Secretary spoke before the
Boston campaign committee of the War

which is shortly to start a drive for
100000 of New England's quota of
$4,000 for the fund.
1--WE cannot afford any such tremen-
dous and calamitous national waste and
extravaganza as to take a million young
men out Of their homes insthis country
and corrupt them. and then when the
war is over send them back home less
fne'than when they came to u.s." said
Secretary Baker. Every now and then
we heaf-I don't know anything about
the truth Of it-that our adversary in
this war has been sending germs
around TO inoculate the people with
disease and using that as means Of
warfare.
Wants Camps To Be Wholesome
"Rut we may do it if We are not care

all the things they have learned, and
ought not to learn, We shall have low
cred the whole level Of the moral life
of this nation in way that we cannot

(corepondencs q The Associated Pres'l
LONDON, Sept lS.-The report OF
the Suez Canal traffic for 1916 shows
a considerable falling off in tonnage
as compared with the preceding years.

ships Of 15,3O0,O00, and in 1916 3,lOO
ships Of 100000 tons.

BETHMANN HoLLWEG RESIGNS,

Bethmann Hoilweg's resignation means
that the militarists of the ruthless type
have won the day in Germany.
Brutal as Bethmann was, he was the
link that held Germany to moderation.
Ooposing Triplitz and Reventlow and their
class. he STAYED off submarine warfare as
long as possible; he invented the re cr-
ncxations, no indemnity" doctrine, which,
however. he was forced to renOunce when
he tried to form a coalition cabinet. Ger
MANY. he declared must fight for indem-
mites and annexations. But even that was
not enough. He must be forced Out ell.
tirely
\ few days previous, the paper Of Max
inilian Harden, the one clear-see1ng ger
man with bravery enough to raise his voice
in protest against the red doctrine OF the
war lords. had been closed up entirely and
he drafted into military service.
Signs of great unrest still abound IN
Germany. Because of the little informal
ton that is allowed to leave that untortu-
nate country, it is impossible for us to say
how deeply the masses are stirred, IN their
demand for constitutional reform, and
whether the Tirpitzian triumph is perma-
ncnt or the last fare-up of the candle before
it sputters out entirely. The kaiser's abd1-
cation has been rumored-the wish is
father to the thought But not the kaiser,
but his class; not the individual, but the
system of autocracv must be taken out OF
the scheme of things before the world can
be Tree, before the German people them
selves can be free.
There can be no halfway revolution
the turn of fortunes wheel must be as COM
pete as in Russia, elevating the humble,
securing the rights of the down-trodden
end destroying the favored classes entirely
That has not been done in Germany, where
the privileged element has been magni-
fed to still greater power.

UP TO THE FARMERS.

We have already had occasion to refer
to the pipeline of wealth which truck de-
velopment in the neighborhood of Mobile
is establishing between that city and East
ern markets. Figures are now announced
in The Register, giving summary OF the
season to date, and are revelation.
Eight hundred thousand dollars is the
value of the truck produced within thirty
t,e miles of Mobile that has been shipped
north up to Saturday, June Is, an increase
over last years total.
No less than ninety-six cars Of potatoes
were shipped; turnips, too, were exported
Nv the car load; in addition the northern
markets took all the cabbage, beans, cucum-
bers squash, tomatoes, beets and onions
that were offered, and wanted more. In
many cases the crops were grown on land
cultivated for the first time.
This land is no better, no worse, than
ours. If indeed, by some miracle there
could be a mutual transfer OF Escambla
county and Mobile county land, no one
would be a bit the wiser, unless the farm
houses and fences were dlsarranged

RUNNING AMUCK.

illustration of the Prussian bully
ool;cv toward smaller nations, was shown
in the case Of Liberia. where the German
foreign office had circulated, under the
official seal, threat that the powers OF
third and last importance would be held to
strict accountability for all damage done TO
German interests, the bill for which would
lie presented and payment enforced after
peace had been concluded.
Similar threats are no doubt responsible
for the neutrality, even assistance, OF neigh
hor states-a number of army corps, TOR
instance, along Hollands frontier.
Germanv's success with the weak caused
her to provoke the United States, for whose
mower to resent an outrage she had
supreme contempt.
Germany has now thrown the mask OF
hypocrisy off and announced that she IS
iqIting for annexations and indemnlt1eS.
She is sinking neutral ships outside the
zone. and if the smaller states do not realize
that. friend or foe, their rights must yield
70 the desires Of black-guardlSm, they de
s,-vc to perish.
Liberia has dehed the mailed fist, as Bel
GUM did three years ago; many other

States has come to the sucCOr of humanity

The interstate commerce commits

elimination against the complainant.
i The keokuk Industrial association and
