ROCK HILL HEARS
PATRIOTIC NOTE

Rock Hill, Aug. with IT'S dele
gates the State council of the Junior
Order of United American Mechanics
met here tonight. The opening ses-
sion developed an inspiring patriotic
note. r. S. Stewart Of Lancaster,
who delivered the principal address of
the evening, sounded clarion call to
service.
DR.. j. B. Johnson presided, Mayor
Sturgis was in Columbia and Council
man Stevens made the address of well
come on behalf of the city. Max
Bryan spoke for the fraternal orders.
The response to the address Of well
come for the city was made by J. H.
Hamel, of Kershaw, State treasurer.
Mr.. Stewards ringing words were
in response to the welcoming address
delivered by Mr.. Bryant for the fra
ternal orders. "The man who at
tempts to thwart the work of the gov.
ernment is worse traitor than Bene.
dict Arnold" declared the speaker
from the Red Rose County. "No
true patriot will say aught in criti
cism of the government in this crisis,
he continued. "This is the time fol
every man to rally around the flag
and none has ever had a greater op
portunity to show his loyalty to hi.

cANTONMENTS WILL
BE COMPLETED BY
OCTOBER OR LATER

| Washington, Aug. 5.-About -four
out of five men are expected to claim
exemption from selective service. Thi.
announcement comes from Provost
General Crowder's Office. A much
smaller per cent. will be exempted.
"Small towns in country region:
are expected to show larger percent
age of men willing to accept service
than big cities like New York" said
one of the high officials in charge OF
this matter.
"The foreign born population OF
New York is opposed to compulsory
military service, many of them having
left their countries to avoid it, We are
not surprised at the number Of claims
for exemptions filed.
The question whether to exempt a
physically fit man is up to each local
board. The board is required to GER
tify the quota required from its dis
trict and if the board excuses the first
men who present themselves, they
must refuse to excuse those who later
present themselves. Somebody must
serve.
Work of physically and otherwise
examining drafted men will probably
continue for thirty days. General
Crowder's office is hoping to have a
complete roster of 65O,OOO men ready
by the time the cantonments are
ready. The environments are
promised for September l; as a mat
ter of fact they will not be ready
September l. General Littel talks
hopefully and quite enthusiastically
as to what has been accomplished up
to date, but has not promised that the
soldier cities will be really ready at
the end of the next thirty days.
eve have accomplished miracles" :"
said he, "but promising is risky. A
lot depends on whether the last ship
ment of lumber, water pipe or sewer
pipe comes through. Delay in some
essential consignment might hold up
completion of any of thees projects"
Probably most of the cantonments
will have water systems in operation
and be under roof by September Is.
BY October l they may have their
other fixings in place, including some
pavements. 1t is doubtful whether
the men called for selectivc service
will be actually put in these camps
before October, since Secretary Bak-
er has repeatedly announced he would
not crowd a lot of new recruits into
unfinished barracks.
General Gorgas, as chief of sani-
tary arrangements, must pass on any
army camp before it begins to house
men. If everything is completed to
make the camp sanitary, the men may
assemble, even if the final trimmings
are not completed. But, if necessary
to wait until November, the men are
to be made comfortable and kept
healthy.
General Crowder will probably
need the six weeks for getting his men
just as much as General Littell will
need this time to build his soldier
cities Local exemption boards are
working slowly When they have
finished, there is still job to be done
by the district exemption board. There
are l62 of the latter, one for each
federal judicial district 1t falls up
on these board to pass on all ques-
tions touching the exemption of men
on the ground that they are needed
for certain industries.

Is positive proof that they subscribe
to the dsmnable doctrine uncondition-
ally. Another interesting character
study OF our enemies comes to us from
| the pen OF Frederick Harrison. the dean
OF English Letters. He says In part:
The Prussian people are Of one
mind with Kaiser and army. In all the
worlds history no race has been so
drilled schocled, sermonized into sort
OF inverted religion Of hate, envy. jea-
lousy. greed. cruelty and arrogance.

vaingIory and lust OF power. 1t has
grown to be their sole gospel. creed
Hymnal and Prayer book. Britons and
Americans cannot comprehend how a
great and intellectual people can have
come to a cult so Satanic.
This is the most clear and concise
appraisal of the German character that
has yet come to our notice. If we are
to believe it-and why should we not?
then the real peace problem pre-
sents itself. We hope to ultimately
make peace with the German people
themselves. This. however. entails a
bout the same degree of risk as max
ing peace with the kaiser. one doubts
whether they will be competent in char
acter to negotiate and keep a lastig
peace until they are converted in the
light Of new culture and a higher civ
ilizzation. SO long as they deem sacr-
ed traties as mere scraps of paper to
be set aside when it serves their pur-
pose: and are willing to wage war a
gainst the whole world on a fimsy and /
false pretext, 1t is rather a risky bus
ness to deal gently with them. On just
This one point do we differ with the

THE PRUssIAN IDEA

An amazing bit OF information has
come to our attention in the form Of
an excerpt from the court records of
case tried In Missouri some years
ago. The suit was brought by Kaiser
Wilhelm of Germany against the estate
OF former German subject who had
died In Missouri in an attempt to re-
cover money. A mong other things the
imperial plaintiff alleged: THAT he is
the absolute monarch of the kingdom
OF Prussia. and as king thereof is the
sole government of that country: that
he is unrestrained by any constitution
or law. and that his win. expressed In
due form. is the only law OF that coun-
try. and is the only legal power known
to exist az law"

this Is incomprehensible. but not so
