stood in the South, but he is o yer,
effective speaker nevertheless. His
words do not flow in continuous
stream, with sentence linked to sen
tence, working up to climaxes, in the
accepted oratOrical style. He rather
hesitates between phrases, even when
they are parts of the same SEN
tence. Yet that very hesitancy
seemed to add weight to his utter
ances.
He made a deep impression upon
his large and representative Green
vile audience yesterday. First, he
was in earnest, tremendously in
earnest. Not one person who heard
him could doubt that fact. More
over, he created the impression
sincerity. There was no buncOmbe in
his speech. Those who heard him
believe he voiced absolute and we'll
considered convictions.
1t was the blunt, straightforward
talk of a blunt, straightforward man
1t was just the kind of talk that
could be expected from a real solo:er.
And he called a spade a spade. There
were no euphemisms i'm his address.
He said just what he thought and
said it in words that could not pos
sibly be misunderstood.
And he made his hearers realize
that their country is i'm n real war.
something far different from our holi-
day affair with Spain, war that
will tax all our resources, a war that
will be felt throughout the country
while it is going on and for at least
a generation after it ends. But his

TRAINS BEING ASSEMBLED TO
CARRY PERSHiNG'S MEN
CLOSER TO FIRING LINE.
Soldiers In Fine Spirits and Anxious
i to Get Chance at Germans.

A French Seaport. July 1.-THE
American troops today entered on the
final steps of the mobilization that
shall prepare them to leave within a
few days for permanent training
camp somewhere behind the firing
line.
The unloading Of supplies is almost
finished and rolling stock is being
concentrated here preparatory ito the
departure of the troops. The days
have been used profitably for a double
purpose.
The more important one was TO
put the majority of the soldier.
through vigorous grind of eight full
hours each day. French officers who
mad seen service at the front took part
IN these exercises in order to give the
dement, OF their experience to the
american soldiers. The drills includ-
ed a daily plunge in the sea. This
phase of the sanitation problem was
made easy by the proximity of the
camp to the ocean.
another advantage taken Of the
time spent here was to employ small
er groups of the more seasoned troop-
ers to put the final touches on the
camp so it will be in first class shape
The camp in the last few days ex.
panded enormously until today it ex-
tends for miles and can accommo-
date large number of men.
The drill ground is not only ideal
for the purpose, but has the advan-
tage OF being at distance so the men
get a daily hike of five miles.
For the men arriving at this and
similar mobilization bases the Amer
lean system Of living in tents or wood
EN- shacks will be followed. but when
they arrive at a permanent camp they
will be billeted among the towns peo-
pie.
Few If any of the soldiers know
just where they are to be sent, but all
are enthusiastic at the prospects of
getting nearer the scene of action.
Their spirits are fine and their health
is of the best with the exception of a
few cases of mumps.
This morning military funeral was
heid Tor the only man that died since
the American troops arrived here. He
was Boatswain Mate ]. j. Dunn, who
was drowned when he fell overheard
from launch and was carried under
before his comrades could reach him.

PERFECT CONDUCT REQUIRED.
AMERICAN SOLDIERS ARE TOLD
TO HONOR FRENCH.
Pershing Issues Order to American
TrOOps--Must Treat Women COur-
tcOusly and Respect Private Prop.
Crty. ~.

Paris, July Delayed) Gen. Per-
shing has issued the following general
order to his troops:
For the first time i'm history an
American army finds itself in Euro
pean territory. The good name of
the United States of America and
the maintenance of cordial relations
require the perfect department Of
each member of this command.
1T is of the gravest importance
that the soldiers of the American ar
my shall at all times treat the French
people, and especially the women.
with the greatest courtesy and consid-
eration.
1.-THE valiant deeds of the French
armies and the allies, which together
have successfully maintained the
common cause for three years and
the sacrifices of the civil government
of France in support of their armies,
command our profound respect. This
can best be expressed on the part of
our forces by uniform courtesy to all
the French people and by the faithful
observance of their laws and customs.
1.-The intensive cultivation of the
soil in France under conditions caused
by the war makes it necessary that
extreme care be taken to do no dam
age to private property. The entire
French manhood capable of bearing
arms is in the field fighting the enemy.
Honor them as those of our own

Peace Terms.

Why the United States is fighting
ana what 1t is fighting for are plain
as the nose on ones face and the peo-
ple"so understand it, for more people
always have way of looking only at
the heart of a big problem, untrou-
Died by choplOgic and technical pole
mics
The United States chose an attitude
of strictly legal neutrality. 1t also
chose to exercise it's unouestionab,,.
legal right to supply England and
France with as much foodstuff and
ammunitions as they wished to buy.
Germany prohibited commerce be-
tween this country and the allies-or
proposed to permit only as much COM
merce as the German government
sanctioned. which would come to ex-
actly the same thing as general
prohibition.
The German proposal required not
only that we should surrender an un-
questionable right. but that we should
thereby tremendously assist the Ger
man effort to defeat the allies; for If
Germany could close our ports as far
as European exports were concerned.
or put them under strict German
regulation. as her proposal contem-
plated. then her submarine campaign
would be two-thirds won without
lifting another finger.
Germany compelled us to choose
whether we should, in effect, fight for
her or against her. We chose the lat
ter because our own rights were vio-
lated and because we profoundly be-
| lieve that defeat Of England and
France by Germany would involve the
very gravest menace to us and to the
cause of democracy throughout the
world. We are fighting to vindica .e
our right to the sea and to prevent
Europe from becoming PrussianiZed
for we believe Prussianized Europe
would be a very i'll neighbor for a
democratic America.
The people understand it, In simp-
Ter phrase they say: I'VE are fighting
to prevent Germany from becoming
cock o. the walk i'm Europe"
There is little point at this moment
i'm attempting to say exactly what
terms I'm n peace treaty would signi-
fy the accomplishment of that object,
for it seems clear enough that Ger
many is not ready to accept any
terms that would signify it. But those
who try to make it appear that the
United States does not know what it rs
fighting for evidently understand Ger

Sanitary Measures Have Done for
Sumter.
Since the installation of the system
Of sanitary closets i'm the city, the
health record of Sumter has been one
which is very gratifying to the health
authorities. In the month of June,
1916, there were in the city of Sum-
ter, Fl cases of typhoid fever. On
July 4, 1916, the system of sanitary
closets was installed and or the fol-
lowing day the scavenger wagon be-
gan its rounds. In the month of
Jnue, 1917, only one case of typhoid
was recorded by the health officer
and this case is traceable directly to
a surface closet. Health officer Nc
kagen states that the use of the san
itary closets will eliminate typhoid al
together from our city. He is to be
congratulated upon the record which
his department has shown for the
past year.
