The Greenwood Index says there
is no such animal as a German-AmeTl-

The socalled hyphens are either Ger
mans or Americans. Everybody in
America stands for this country or
for Germany in this war, and there
is no hallway ground. II this coun-
try is good enough to live in. It is
good enough to serve. If there are

We can not believe that Capt.
Heidi, the recruiting officer for the
Savannah district, expresses the true
sentiment OF the government IN his
communication in the last issue OF
The Herald. Capt. Heidi, in urging
enlistment in the regular army,
makes this statement: You now
have the opportunity to volunteer for
the regular army. The branch of the
service where you are under the best
trained officers, where you get the
best food, best training and best care.
Don't make a mistake. Get into the
regulars now, there is a great differ
ence, you will know later IS it to
be inferred that the great national
army to be secured by the selective
draft is to be treated other than the
regular army? We hardly believe
this. If our understanding is correct,
the president has not only never call
ed for a volunteer army to go to
France, but was decidedly opposed
to it, and his views along this line
are so we'll known that it is useless
to review them. We do not consider
that the slightest odium will attach
to any man who is drafted into the
national army. and we can certainly
see no reason why the drafted army
should be treated other than the regu-
lar army. OF course, there can be
no objection to anyone enlisting in
the regular army who prefers not to
be drafted, but that is matter pure
ly of preference-indeed the assump-
tien is to be inferred that the presi-
dent would prefer for all men to
abide by the draft.

We believe that the most import
ant documents ever printed in Bam-
berg county were the original selec-
tive draft roll and the numbered roll.
Copies OF these issues will be found
in Bamberg county homes years and
years hence. The papers are we'll
worth preserving for future refer
ence, for they provide permanent
record of Bamberg's part in the great
est war of all history. Twenty-Five
or perhaps fifty years from today,
the files of The Herald will be re-
ferred to to ascertain information
about Bamberg's contingent in the
European war. We are glad to be
of service to the people of the coun-
ty; We considered it not an obliga-
tion, but privilege, to give the peo-
pie this information. Incidentally,
we may add, we have seen only two
other papers that published the roll
as numbered for the draft. There
may have been others, but if so, they
are not on our exchange list. AS a
matter of fact it is a matter of i'm
possibility for a newspaper not pos
sessing a linotype machine to set up
these names in type, and not many
of those possessing machines care to
go to the extra expense of doing so.
The last issue of The Herald con-
tanned 35 columns of reading matter,
local and genral news, miscellany,
etc. Every line of this matter was
set in the Office of The Herald. We
do not use what is commonly termed.
"pot metal" that is, reading matter
that is bought for a song ready set
up. Such matter is used identically
perhaps by several hundred newspa-
pers, and this class of matter is not
considered desirabl by US. We could,
however, save lot Of expense by
using it. Every page of The Herald
is printed in Bamberg, in our own
Office The Herald is the only paper
in Bamberg county which prints its
entire paper. Half of one of the
others is printed in OrangeMrg, and
half of one is printed in Charlotte.
Bamberg gets the benefit of every
cent spent in printing this .newspa-
per. We do not say it boastfully,
because it is unnecessary, but The
Herald set up and printed last week
twice as much news matter as both
of the other papers of the county
combine set and then had some five
columns to spare. The Herald is
the only paper in the county which
has printed the information of the
selective draft. Since the draft meas
ure was passed, We have donated to
this cause some 100000 worth of
space,

BERLIN, May 13. (Via London) May 14.-While the batting of the imperial chancellor is going on the events of the last forty eight hours would seem to indicate that Dr. von Bethmann- Holl- weg's position continues absolutely se- cure. The chancellor returned from a hurried visit to Great Headquarters Saturday morning and left the same night for Vienna after having spent the day in conferring with the reichs- tag party leaders, with respect to the interpolation on Germany's war aims.
 Both his visit to Great Headquarters and his trip to the Austrian capital were made in connection with chancei- tors declaration covering the war aims, which he will submit to the reichstag Tuesday.

REPORT
 ON COMING CROP

The following information regarding harvest conditions given out by the lln- migration service of the United States Department of Labor will be of inter- est to the ranchers of the valley.
 Oklahoma: MT. W. G. Ashton, labor commissioner, office at Oklahoma CitY, Okla. states as follows: Harvest will start about June Sth to 10th in north central Oklahoma: Enid and Oklahoma City being the main distributing points for this portion Of the state. The wages will not be less than $2 per day and up, including board and lodging. We have made a very careful survey of the situ- ation and have concluded that 1t will require 5000 men this year Persons who contemplate starting the season in Oklahoma should first communicate with MT. Ashton to find out whether Or not employment will be available for them upon arrival.
 Kansas: The crop promises to be much lighter this year than last Many counties having large wheat acreage last year will have none this season. only few counties will approximate | last years yield. However, it is esti- mated that l5,000 men will be needed from outside sources Wages will prob ably range from S2 to S6 per day board and lodging, according to experience 1 and class Of work at which engaged. | The cutting in Kansas starts few days later than in Oklahoma, that is, 1 about June 18th to 20th The state com missioner of labor, Topeka, Kansas, will i furnish detailed information upon re- , quest.
 In General
 Many start the season in Oklahoma and work north, winding up in the Da- kotas or Minnesota, and in this way get in about three months work at ! good wages Lucrative employment 1 can be found in the tnreshing. Where the wheat has been spoiled other crops l are being put in. In the fall good , wages can be made husking corn. The majority of farmers who want harvest hands prefer bodied English speaking white men.
 All persons desiring harvest work must bear cost of transportation to
 and from the fields. We do not know | of any way in which free or reduced ! fare may be obtained. It is unneces-
 sary to pay any fee in connection with the matter of obtaining employment in the harvest fields. Government and state employment offices are in pos session of all necessary information and will gladly furnish advice free of cost Applicants should have suf- ficient funds for subsistence in the event of unavoidable delays in com | mencing harvest.
 | Persons who will communicate with l this office between June 1st and 10th will be directed to employment by let 1 ter, if so desired, but all who can con- veniently do so are urged to travel via | Oklahoma City, Okla; Topeka, Kans.; Omaha, Neb.; or Kansas City, Mo; i this in order to obtain the latest in- formation concerning crop conditions, points where men are needed etc.
 During the season Kansas City will be the main distributing point and will ] be in daily touch with all points of i the wheat belt.
