THE DOOR OPEN FOR AUSTRIA

(From Charleston News and Courier
The statement of Andrew Bonar Law,
British chancellor of the eXchecquer,
regarding the possibility of a separate
peace with Austria-Hungary is one of
the most interesting utterances which
has come from any responsible states
man since the beginning of the war. A
member fthe House of Commons, re-
ferring to the talk heard in foreign
countries about the advisability of
making a separate peace with Austria,
| invited the British government to de-
clare that in no circumstances would
! It conclude such a peace. To this the
chancellor of the exchequer replied
that there had never been a question
of making a separate peace but that he
considered that the whole matter de-
pended on circumstances. Germany"
he added lis always trying to detach
some of the Allies, and it might bel
don't in the least to suggest it-that no
blow would seem so fatal to Germany
as if one of her own allies were de-
tached from the fight
1t would be OVERLOAD to infer from
this that there is any practical pros
pect of the early detachment of Aus,
tria from Germany. The significance
of Mr. Bonar Laws statement lies in
the fact that it reveals the British gov
eminent as not definitely opposed to
such development. This is indica-
tive of a notable change of feeling in
Great Britain-a change which is the
natural consequence of the events of
the war but of which there have been
heretofore few visible signs. At the
beginning the complete breakup of the
Hapsburg empire was regarded in
Britain as a necessary condition of a
tolerable peace. This was a Short
sighted view 1t is not Austria that is
a menace to the rest of the world. That
menace is Germany.
The main objects of the great war
from the Allied and American point of
view would have been achieved if Aus
tria were to break away from her
partnership with Prussia and repuli-
ate the domination of Berlin. That
would shatter at blow the Prussian
dreams of great d-European bloc
extending into Asia-Minor, essentially.
Prussian in its politics and in it's phil
sophy, perpetuating the Prussian ideal
OF government and owning the leader
ship of Prussia One of the possible
oslutions of the world problem which
brought on the war and which keeps it
going has been the formation of new
Central European State composed of
Austria and the South German states
and operated under q democratic form
Of government which, perhaps, might
take the form of limited monarchy.
That some such solution as this
would be regarded as satisfactory by
Great Britain and that Austria's long
adherence to Prussia would be forgiven
should she at any time in the future re-
alize the error of that policy is clearly
indicated by Mr.. Bonar Laws comment
upon the suggestion of a separate
peace with Austria. The time may
, come when these words of the British
chancellor of the exchecquer will be
/ revealed as having had prophetic
, quality

REGISTRATION.

President wilson h"'
I5b as the day when every male citizen
10; the United States between the ages
nj d and 81 years will be called upon
no register under the provisions of the
measure which has passed both houses
|cf Congress and has just received the
signature fthe chief executive of the
nation.
Universal military service, such as is
authorized in this measure, has been
decided by the nations lawmakers as
the only practical means of gathering
an army for the war with Germany.
Personal opinion as to the wisdom or
advisability of this mode of procedure
is of no consequence, insofar as the
actual enforcement of the act itself is
concerned. When President Wilson
affixed his signature to the measure on
Friday it becae a law and its pro-
visions automatically became man.
dates which must be obeyed by the
kitizenry.
Only one day has been designated as
the date for registration, so that a
most efficient organization of registrars
must be formed in every community in
order that the object may be attained.
In Sumter county the sheriff, clerk
o. the superior court, ordinary and
county physician, along with sundry
other officials, constitute the central
registration board. In each district
citizens have been appointed to act as
chairmen of sub-organizations through |
which the registration of the eligible
males in the rural sections will be ac-
complished.
The service of the registrars is ex-
pected to be voluntary, as it constitutes
a patriotic duty which every loyal CIT
izen owes to his country. Since the
registration is limited to single day
and the territory to be covered in
Sumter county is considerable, it is de-
sired that many citizens volunteer to
act as registrars, for the larger the
force of workers, the more efficiently
the task will be performed.
1t should be distinctly noted that
the registration is entirely separate |
from the military draft, which will |
come later. Every male citizen be- |
tween the ages of 81 and 81, white or
black married or single, sick or well, |
whether with or without dependents,
and Notwithstanding any other cir
which might constitute an
exemption from military service. is re-
quired to register There are no ex-
ceptions to the general rule. Exemp-
tons will be considered before the !
actual draft is made, from the data Sc
cured by the registration
Penalties have been provided for
those who fail to register and Cor those
who by any means attempt to prevent
the registration Of men within the pre-
scribed age limits.
1t is expected that every citizen of
Sumater county will fulfill his full duty
as regards the coming registration, re-
a'izing that the welfare of the nation
depends upon the zeal with which the
individual assumes his particular re-
sponsibility.

ARTISTS WHO COME HERE
TUESDAY, NOV. Is MAKE HIT

According to the Grand Junction
News the three talented artists who
come here at the M. E. church Novem-
ber 13 to give q concert for the bene-
fit of the war library fund, made q
great impression there Monday night
The News said:
Zone of the most brilliant recitals
which has been enjoyed in this city
was given last evening at the Congre-
gational church under the auspices Of
the ladies of the church. The recital
was given by three noted young ar
fists, Pearl H. Williams, soprano; Ber-
tha Kribben, violinist, and Edwyl Red
ding, pianist and accompanist. All are
we'll known in musical circles. The
1inging of Miss Williams was marked
by her ability to render different pas
sages. All of her vocal training has
been under the most noted instruc-
tors and her wonderful voice is in
great demand in all musical circles.
"Miss Kribben is Enthusiastically an
artist on her chosen instrument. She
also has received the greatest part of
her training under famous masters,
who have predicted brilliant career
for her. Miss Redding' is certainly q
musician of marked ability. Her
work as an accompanist is beyond
reproach and the special number which
was given by her on the pipe organ
received continued applause from the
audience. It is to be hoped that many
such recitals will be given in this
city during the winter"
