Must Beat Lust For Conquest.
1.-THE history. the character, the
avowed principles of action, the
manifest and undisguised purposes
of the German autocracy made It
clear and certain that, II America
stayed out OF the great war and
with be required to defend herself,
and would be unable to defend her
self against the same lust for con-
quest, the same will to dominate the
world which has made Europe a
bloody shambles.
The instinct of the American
democracy which led 1t to act when
1T did arise from a long delayed and
reluctant consciousness, still vague
and half expressed, that this is no
ordinary war which the world is
waging. II is a mighty and all-em-
bracing struggle between two con-
fiicting principles OF human right
and human duty. It is conflict be-
tween the divine right Of kings to
govern mankind through armies and
mobiles and the right of the peoples
Of the earth who toll and endure and
aspire to govern themselves by law,
In the freedom Of individual man
hood. It is the climax of the su-
preme struggle between autocracy
and democracy.
ITO this great conflict for human
rights and human liberty America
has committed herself. There can
be no backward step. There must be
either humiliating and degrading
submission or glorious victory"

Law PROTECTS
CRANE and swan
Information On Hunting
Licenses Misleading,
Says McCutcheon

Minot, N. D.. Sept. 15.-"False and
misleading information Is given on
the backs OF the hunters licenses this
fall" said e. B. McCutcheon, secre-
tary North Dakota State Sportsmen's
association, today, that may cause a
great deal of trouble for a whole lot
of uniformed hunters, IL they allow
themselves to be guided by such no.
tices.
"The diagram on the back of the
hunters license, as we'll as the print
ed matter beneath the diagram, show
that there are open seasons in this
solutely not true. The laws of this
state have established a closed season
indefinitely on swan, and until Sept.
], 1918, on all varieties of crane.
Further, swan and crane are protect
ed by the federal migratory bird law,
until that date, so that any who may
kill such birds through this misin-
formation, are running in danger of
getting in bad with Uncle Sam. This
diagram also runs in the state game
laws and is very deceiving to the or
binary hunter.
Also snlpe and PIOver.
Further, the diagrams and printed
matter on the back OF licenses are to
some extent deceiving and poorly
wordsd in regard to killing n,s OF !. sniPs s
class known as shore birds. There
are about thirty varieties OF these
birds found in this state, but under
the federal laws, only six may be
killed in this state.
THE layman who is not well post
ed, may have considerable difdculty
in distinguishing, as all are common
ly called snipe or plover. The six
varieties, that may be legally killed
without rousing up Uncle Sam, are
the Black Bellied and Golden plover,
Wilson or Jack snipe, Wood Cock,
Greater and Lesser Yellow Legs. The
federal law gives no authority to kill
Sandpipers, Godwits, Willets, DOW
itchers, Curley, ETC."

Most bodies, you know, are not

bodies are.
We have a model bodybuilding
plant. We have our own artists and
craftsmen. So each Mitchell body is a
Mitchell creation, exclusive to this
line. -
Then our own body plant, with its

AFTER THE

Some days ago n of the gooc
citizens of the city advised US thai
the time had arrived when VIC
should get after the Southern Rail
way Company, and tell it of its
shortcomings. Well, we have a kindly
feeling for the Southern, because we
believe that it tries, in some matters.
at least, to meet the requirements
of the public, and to accommodate
its trade. We recall that some two
years ago when The Press and Ban
ner insisted that the Southern da
away with the long wait at Hodges,
it got busy and made the necessary
changes to accommodate u people.
We should be thankful for that.
But having torn the pocket off our
Sunday coat on the old coach now
being used on the Abbeville branch,
we were in position to sympathize
with our friend when he said that
the present coach is a disgrace to any
railroad and to any community. We
have an indistinct recollection that
at one time we had a new coach on
the Abbeville branch, but it must
have worn out or been borrowed by
some other ''branch" as we do not
have it now. The Southern has some
very fine gentlemen in charge of its
trains between Hodges and Able
vile. They are polite and obliging,
and we know they want to make
everybody comfortable on the trips
between these points, and the stops
at Stevenson, Pratt and Darraugh's
as pleasant as possible. Nothing
would help in these directions as
much as a new coach, so let us have
it, Nh. Southern.
And while we are on the Southern
we would remark that "The Snail
Limited" a subsidiary line which
carries the mail from the Southern
Railway to the Abbeville Postofice,
under the direction of the Southern,
sometimes takes more than its usual
half hour to run each hundred
yards. We suggest that an oil or
coal burner be put on this train, and
that the present wood burner be dis
carded. The mails should be hand
led over this line with more dispatch.

GOOD ROADS.

In Greenville county, in Chester,
Laurens and other counties, where
it is proposed to build and maintain
sand clay or gravel roads, which are
stated to be improved highways, a
Highway Commission, under one
name or another, has been created to
have charge of the building, and
maintenance of these roads, at least
for q season. In other counties where
bond issues have been proposed for
the building of these roads, there
has been always a provision for a
commission to do the work: In
Greenwood county which has issued
bonds, an Act has been sought taking
the working of the roads out Of the
hands of the Supervisor.
This indicates to us that the peo-
pie are not satisfied with the present
way of working the roads. 1t means
that while the Supervisor and his CO.
workers may be managing the fnan-
ces of the county in a satisfactory
manner, they are not working the
roads in a satisfactory manner. 1t
means that the people of the state
have determined to have better
roads, and that in the judgment of
the people, the present officers are
not the men to take charge of the
road work.
No doubt the several counties in
the state in selecting the supervisors
have selected honest men and capa-
BILE men in their various lines as
farmers, or merchants, or contrac-
tors, but as a rule the men at the
head of affairs in the several coun-
ties are not men versed in road
building, or in road maintenance,
and therefore, while they may have
worked ind~ustriously, according to
the old way, in undertaking to keep
up the roads, they have not met
modern thought on the subject, stud
led modern methods, and they are
not making the improvements which
should be made on the public high,
WAYS. We believe that the men who
fill the offices mentioned will admit
this much themselves.
If we are correct in these deduc'
lions, and we believe that we are, II

tenance of the roads is the most i'm

DRAFTED MANS CHANCE.
(From The Hartford Times.)

(From The Hartford Times.)
According to an article prepared
by Babson's Statistical organization
on the chances of mortality among
drafted men, only about sixty men
in each thousand at the front r be-
ing killed and $50 in each thousand
are being wounded. The normal
death rate is eight per thousand fo-
the ages of men at the front. No
mention of time is made in the ar
ticle, but the assumption is that the
period covered by the statistics is
from the beginning of the war to
the present. The article asserts that
the drafted man who goes as an or
binary soldier is fairly sure to re-
turn in better physical condition
than when he left, and that, except
during the one or two days a month
when it is his turn to take part in a

committee.
Gen. Crozier asked that a board
on inquiry be named. He said a,
small quantity of bromide, which re-
tards fire for a fraction Of a second,
had been found in about 2 per cent
of the army's cartridges. Confidence
was expressed by the general that
the board would find that the defect
was unavoidable. and not due to
negligence. ~
The Senate committee decided to
call Secretary Baker before it ITO
morrow for an explanation of the
matter and will then decide TO the
purpose Of holding an inquiry Of it's
own. t.
Whether the inquiry suggested by
Gen. Crozier shall be made will be
decided by Secretary Baker when the
request reaches him tomorrow.
Any defective ammunition which
may have been supplied the navy by

reau will be traced and returned for
re-manufacture.
The danger attached to the ammu-
milton is that the cartridge does not
explode promptly and when q sol

lions not to open the magazine for

The bromide in the potassium
chlorate of the primers, Gen. Gro
zier explained, was not detected in
sufficient quantity by tests made at
the arsenal to indicate possible dam
ger. 1t was sufficient, however, to
cause chemical action after the car
tridges were made up.
