HERE'S WHERE WE GIVE WALT
MASON A JAR.

From our constant daily reading
we can see the thing we're needing
is the stuff for fully feeding folks at
home and folks afar. For the daily
papers tell us facts and figures that
compel us to be- wide-awake and jeal-
Gus of the waste we should debar
/ Bread and butter beans and berries,
kraut and cabbage, cheese and cherries
and the eggs of Tom and ferries should
be saved throughout the land. so that
ours, the fruitful nation, may pre-
vent the quick starvation of the bal
ance of creation in the troublous times
at hand. Though it seems inconse-
quential each small slice of breads es-
sential to keep famine pestilential from
ourselves and our Allies; waste of food
| is unpropitious, un-American, PERM
cious, and has consequence as vicious
as swarm of German spies. All our
logic and our reason prove it's nothing
short of treason if we let the growing
season find US idly looking on, not con-
sidering nor caring for the famine
which is staring in our faces, nor pre-
pairing for the days when summers
gone. Let us then do what we ought
to do, by devoting all our thought to
saving foodstuffs as we're taught to do
by the manuals complete which the
National Commission has prepared in
large edition for improving the condi-
, tiCn of our stock of things to eat. This
is something worth your trying. for by
canning and by drying all the things
that you've been buying you'll not
merely feed yourselves, but you'll find
from the beginning, that you've help
ed our troops in winning by the drying
and the timing which have stocked
your pantry shelves.--Nationa Emer-
gency Food Commission

MINISTER'S MADE TO ORDER.

Casual inquiry has developed the fact
that the Sumter county exemption
board is going to face serious sit
nation when it comes time to commence
the selection of men to serve in the
great national army, for which this
county must furnish 1877 men.
1t appears that many negroes throu-
ghout this section are preparing to file
exemption claims on the ground that
they are ministers of the Gospel, the
regulations governing exemptions hav-
ling provided that clergmen are exempt
from military service. Personal in
quiry among several negroes who are
registered in this district ELECTS the in
formation that many of them claim to
be regularly. ordained ministers, al
though they have no regular~churches
and are only occasionally engaged in
religious work, and then only in the
capacity of "exhorters" at protracted
meetings, rallies" etc.
We apprehend that the Sumter
county exemption board is composed of
officials of perspicacity and sound
judgement and that they will permit
obviously blatant impositions or abuse
of the exemption rules is not conciev-
able.
Every man whose claim to exemp-
ton is bona fide should unquestionably
be relieved from military service at
this time, but fictitious excuses,
brought forward with the sole view of
escaping duty to the government and
unsupported by undisputable evidence,
should not be allowed to stand.
The common practice among negro
churches of ordaining ministers pro-
miscuously, when there is no POSSIBLE
| ity of their being placed in permanent
charge of a church, cannot be regard
ed as conducive to the best results, ev-
en- in time of peace, while under pres
ent conditions, the system savors too
much of planning to evade a patriotic
duty.
The white citizens of this district
stand ready and willing to do their full
duty as regards service in the national
army, but at the same time they feel
that the negro population should bear
its share of the responsibility devoly-
| ing upon US at this time of national
stress.
There is no inclination to criticise
any individual who presents a valid
claim for exemption, but glazing at
itempts to evade service by means of
false excuses should be met with de-
cisive action on the part of the duly
constituted authorities.

The War Departments criticism OF
Associated Press for making public
announcement of the safe arrival in
,ance of the second contigent of Am
lean soldiers, is to say the least
mething like sticking over unim-
rrtant trifles. And furthermore the
ipartment officials sent in their re-
lest to withhold publication just five
,urs after the dispatch had been sent
h to the members of the great news
ganization. The newspapers Of the
lited States have sufficiently proven
cir entire willingness to cooperate
suppressing news of benefit to the

HAZARD OF THE SOLDIER.

| Staggering as are the totals of killed
and wounded on the battlefields on the
| battlefields of Europe, the fact remains
that the hazard of the soldier today in
France is fundamentally far below
that faced by participant in the civil
war
In che month of bombing and trench
warfare France and Great Britain lost
in killed and wounded 114,000 men.
according to an authentic reports
which is enough to make the world
throw up its hands in horror.
But when it is remembered that a
total of 100000 soldiers were engag-
ed and subject to the same dangers
to which their 114,O00 comrades fell
victim, the percentage of casualties is
brought down to less than six per
cent
In twelve hours fighting at Antietam
10000 Union and Confederate soldiers
were killed or wounded-or 20 per cent
OF the forces engaged And taking the
! war as a whole, the hazard of the civil
war soldier was almost four times as
great as is that of the soldier in
France.
This is largely accounted for in the
modern methods of fighting, as COM
pared with the old Trench warfare
is greatly responsible for the greatly
decreased percentage of losses in Eu-
rope.
| Military experts tell US that if the
armies now engaged in the greatest of
all wars had continued to follow the
/ open warfare methods that marked the
early days of the war-and that char
acterized the methods employed in the
i civil war-the opposing armies long
ago would have been aAnihilated 1t
| Is remembered that the original army
lsent to France by England at the be-
| ginning of the war was practically
destroyed during the first six months,
That was because they pursued the
lopen warfare tactics. But the success
/ sors of those unfortunate fellows soon
/ learned to dig themselves in; with the
result that the percentage of casualties
lis greatly decreased.
| 1t is true that modern weapons have
maximized the capacity for destruc-
ton; but to offset that fact, trench
warfare and improved defense methods
and systems have minimized the risks.
| And the soldier in France today
stands a far better chance of coming
out alive and whole of body than did
the soldier of the civil war--whatever
| omfort that may afford to the mothers,
fathers, wives and sweethearts at
home-Atlanta Constitution.

useful for scouting purposes. This
and nothing more. AS real agents of
war the birdmen were treated as ex-
pensive toys and were allowed to fly
ii order that public interest might be
lulated.
Germany was silent. The flights
continued. Scarcely week passed
but what these silent monsters of the
elements crossed the North Sea and
notified the English people that they
were there,
The loss of life thus far has been
light. The damage has not been great
But the English no longer crowd the
streets and watch the aerial display
as pyrotechnical exhibition of unus-
ual spectacular beauty. They no lon
ger laugh. The world has at last been
aroused to the fact that the aeroplane
is not joke, not a toy of war, but a
grim reality that will play a power
ful part in ending the titanic strug-
gle.
The last London raid has brought
about a reaction of English opinion.
An intensified demand for reprisals
has followed this disastrous attack.
The Teutonic tactics have changed.
The aeroplanes fly close to the earth
i'll deadly distance of buildings of great
value. lbs menace has grown so SER
ious that he ministry at last realizes
that i res a grave problem to con-
front. The gravity of the situation can
no 10 ger be lightly treated.
The London Times, the great path
fi.der of English opinion declares that
the crying need of 1917 for aeroplanes
| is as great as it was for shells in 1915, .
The Times declares further that the
government must be compelled to real
ize that the aeroplane will be the I'LL
innate and deciding factor of the war"
/, insists that thousands must be built
with the help of America to carry the
war into the enemy's country.
The London News, in commenting on
the Saturday raid, says The raiders
yesterday were so slow that it looked
like a parade"
This shows the reversal of opinion
of the English press in regard to these
Teutonic raiders and the palpable
weakness of the English defense. 1t is
also conclusive proof that if this great
war is to end and the democracy of
the Christian world is to be establish
ed it will become necessary to fight
the devil with fire. We must support
the President in his demand for aero
planes Their usefulness has last been
shown-Memphis Commercial-Appeal,
