GERMANY HAD ADVANCE
COPY OF ULTIMATUM
Austria's Action Against Serbia
Known to Germany Fourteen
Hours Ahead.

Washington, Aug. 3.-Germany
had possession of Austria's ultima
tum to Serbia IA hours before it was
delivered at Belgrade, according to
positive information reaching officials
here, and made public today for the
first time.
It is stated that that former For
eign Minister Zimmerman admitted
this when he was pressed closely as
to Germany's knowledge of the ac-
ton of her ally which precipitated
the war.
Germany has constantly maintain
ed in all her public documents that
she was not consulted by Austria as
to the ultimatum, and had no knowl-
edge of such step would be taken. !
Zimmerman's admission, however,
is interpreted to show that Germany
had full knowledge in time to stop
action, if she felt it essential.
Zimmerman is reported to have
first denied Germany's knowledge,
but when presented with certain in
formation and pressed admitted it.
He seemed to think IA hours was not
enough time for action.
This fits in very closely with re-
cent statements first advanced by
Deputy Cohn in the Reichstag, and
since accepted by the allies, that
Germany and Austrian leaders held
war council at Potsdam on July 5,
1914 at which it was practically de-
cided to plunge Europe into conflict.
The Interpretation placed on this
meeting has been that Germany had
full knowledge of all Austria's plans
and stood unreservedly behind her.
Germany denied such a conference
was held.

PROCLAMATION BY KAISER
Says as Foes Multiply Germany's
Strength Increases.

Berlin, Aug: emperor William
has issued proclamation to the
German army, and navy and German
Colonial forces, it reads: :
"The third year of the war has
come to an end. The number of our
adversaries has increased, but their
prospects of victory have not i'm
proved. You crushed Rumania last
year. The Russians empire once
more trembles under our strokes.
"Both countries sacrificed them
selves for the interests of others and
now. are bleeding to death. In Ma
cedonia you forcibly withstood the
enemy's assaults. In mighty battles
on the western front you remain the
masters of the situation. Your lines
are firm, protecting your beloved
home against the terrors and devas-
tations Of war. .... -
"The navy has achieved good re-
suits. 1t has threatened the enemies
command of the sea and his very
existence. Far from home a little
German group is defending German
colony against forces many times
superior. .Et
q Victory in the coming year, will
again be on our side and on that of
our allies. Ours will be the final
victory.
with a deeply moved heart
thank you in my own name in that
of the fatherland for what you have
achieved in this last year of the
war. With veneration we remember
the fallen who gave up their lives
for the greatness and the safety of
the Fatherland.
"The war goes on, it is still being
forced upon us, we shall fight for our
existence in the future with firm
resolution and unfailing courage. AS
problems multiply, so does our
strength increase. We are invinci-
BILE. We shall be victorious. The
Lord God will be with US.

SOUTH CAROLINA CROPS
ARE VERY PROMISING

Unless weather conditions are de-
cidedly unfavorable during the rest
of the growing season, South Caro-
lima farmers, and incidentally every
body else in the state, will have cause
for wholehearted rejoicing. Crop
reports gathered from every section
of the state indicate that the crop
prospects for South Carolina were
never so bright as at present.
In Abbeville, and in fact, all over
the Piedmont section, crops are es-
pecially promising, having been well
worked and are apparently above
the average at this season.

COUNTY VOTE DEFEATS
100000 BOND ISSUE

The election passed off very
quietly in Abbeville county
yesterday, not a great many
persons taking the trouble to
vote. In Abbeville where the
people were intensely inter-
ested, or a few of them, in get
ting out all the votes possible

also light.

gle box outside of the city Of
Abbeville has voted in favor Of
the bond issue. The result at

time and under the present
act. - !.

reported is as follows:

and Japs, all vert to make up a gay
and an attractive scene.
There was something to sell in
every booth and much money was
made in this way. A good supper
was served on the grounds and those
who could not be pleased with salads,
enjoyed the hash, while the little
boys kept up a steady run on the
Italian booth where the pope was
selling "hot dogs" and rolls as fast
as they could be handed out.
On the big stage near the drinking
fountain a continuous performance
of vaudeville shows was in progress.
Of especial merit was the pantomime
given by the young people from Due
West. This pantomime was under
the direction of Miss Gladys Wilson,
and was taken part in by fourteen
pretty girls and Mr.. Robert Ellis,
who dreamed of all the fair women
and finally took al his bride the Red
Cross girl, who was represented by
Miss Barbara Grier.
Sharon had fourteen or fifteen
pretty girls in the parade who made
much money afterwards selling good
things to eat. Antreville was repre-
sented both in the parade and in a
both, while Calhoun Falls was on
hand with one Of the most attractive
booths in the show.
The Calhoun Falls band rendered
their services free to the management
and their sweet music added the final
pleasure to successful and pleasant
day.
