10000 More Men Needed.

Washington, March 25.-Follow-

the navy up to war strength: "By
virtue of the authority vested in the
president by the act of congress ap-
proved August 29 1916, entitled, An
act making appropriations for the
naval service for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1917, and for other pur-
poses,' it is hereby directed that the
authorized enlisted strength of the
navy be increased to $1,000 men.
(signed) WOODROW WILSON,"
The navy must enroll Immediately
approximately $4,000 men to reach
the required strength. Secretary
Daniels supplemented it tonight with
personal kilograms to newspaper edi-
tors all over the country urging them
to aid the department in every way
in their power to obtain men.

JOHNSON ELECTROCUTED.
Slayer of the Rev. Hugh Harrelson
Pays the Death Penalty.

Columbia, March 23.-John John
son, colored, was electrocuted at the
State penitentiary this morning for
the murder of the Rev. Hugh Har-
relson, CT Dillon county, last Novenl-
Der. Three times the death-dealing
electric current was applied before
the negro was pronounced dead by
the penitentiary physician. No rela-
tives appeared to claim the body and
it was buried in the potter's field by
the prison authorities.
The condemned man had nothing
to say when given the last opportuni-
ty for statement after being strap
ped in the electric chair and before
the black mask was adjusted about
his head. He confessed to the crime
when tried at Dillon and told Sheriff
Lane, of Dillon county, yesterday that
he had nothing to add to what he
told at his trial. He went to the
electric chair in a stoical manner and
apparently had abandoned all hope OF
anything but death weeks ago. He
said several days ago that he had
made his peace with his Maker and
was ready to meet his fate.

TAKE L. S. TWO YEARS TO AID.
Couldn't Supply Adequate Force for
Trench in Less Time, Says Beth.

The united States could be of no
material aid to the allies so far as
supplying men is concerned, for at
least two years, in the opinion of
Captain Ian Hay Beth, who lectured
at the academy of music in Philadel-
phia last Thursday on The Human
Side of Trench Warfare.
The American army lacks artil-
lery. the most necessary branch of a
modern force,f' declared Captain
Beth. The infantry, seasoned after
the experience of the border, needs
less training than the British at the
outbreak of the war, but the allied
armies are already overstocked with
infantry.
In another year the need of such
soldiers may be greater, and may
turn the scales in favor of the Brit
ish, but at present the formation of
an American legion from the volun-
teers already in the trenches might
prove of as great moral value as an
entire expeditionary force from this
side.
"Whatever Americans went over
for the next year would have to be
prepared to sacrifice themselves to
gain time. for those who would fol-
low them. The big problem would
be equipping them with heavy guns,
in order to fight with all the advan-
tages of the experience learned on
the western 'front.'"
Captain Beth, who is better known
to many by his pen name, Ian Hay,
ridiculed the fears held in this coun-
try of dangers from German spies
and from the crews of the interned
raiders, characterizing the methods
of the Teuton espionage system as
''inferior and mechanical with nc
sense of proportion.'

Declare KAISER DOOMED.
Hindenberg, Says !Attache, Will BE
First President of Germany.

IF there is a revolution in Ger
many it will be led by Hindenterg.
This is the astounding statement
made the other day by a neutral mill
tary attache with the German army
who has Just come from German
headquart RS on urgent private bus!-
ness to London.
What l say is a fact he con-
tinued. If the Hohenzollern dynas-
ty is to be overthrown, Eindenburg
is the man who will overthrow it and
before the war is over You may see
Won Hindenburg the first president OF
the United German republic.
Germany is ripening for a revo-
luton. 1t is not merely that the
mass of the people are suffering
greatly, and are growing daily more
discontented. However great their
suffering and their discomfort, the
masses in Germany would probably
never dare to break out into open re-
volt.
But it is not the masses alone
who are discontented in Germany.
The wealthy middle class are in an
even greater state of anger and rest
lessness than the masses. l happen
to know that a couple of weeks ago
there was a private meeting of some
of the most influential commercial
and business men in Berlin. The
gathering was held at the house OF
Herr Ballin, the great shipping mag
nate. Herr Ballin is one of the
kaiser's most intimate friends, but
Herr Ballin is also business man,
and his vast private interests are of
much more concern to him than his
friendship with the emperor. Our
loyalty to the emperor has cost us
half of our fortune already he said.
We shall not allow it to cost. us the
other half A resolution was passed
at the meeting to send the following
message to the kaiser, Win the war
or end the war
CT believe that there would be a
revolution in Germany tomorrow but
for one fact-that no revolution in
any country, least of all in Germany,
is possible that is not supported by
the army, and the only man whom
the army would follow in a revolt
would be Hindenburg.
'"von Hindenburg is at the pin
nacle of his popularity. He is the
idol of the German people. All the
successes that have attended the Ger
man army have been scored by the
German idol. And if Hindenburg is
an idol to the civil population in Ger
many he is something even more to
the rank and file of the German
army. Answers.

THREE YEARS GIVEN TEAL.
1S Months of Teachers Sentence Sus
pended.-Will Appeal.

Greenville, March 21.-Prof. w.
Archie Teal, of Hartsville, who was
found guilty Tuesday night on the
charge of seduction under promise of
marriage to a young lady of Travel
er's Rest, was sentenced today by
Judge Mendel L. Smith to three
years, with eighteen months suspend
ed, provided the defendant pays to
the mother for the support of the
child the sum of 500, on the first
of each January for six years, and
then $3.50 on the first of January of
each year until the child is fifteen
years of age. Immediately after the
Hartsville teacher was sentenced his
attorneys gave notice of appeal and
the case will go to the supreme court.
Temporary cash bond in the sum of
$1,000 has been arranged until the
bond can be fixed.
That the course of justice was in
terfered with by the presence in the
court room of several we'll known
and prominent ladies of the city, and
that other agencies were used to
make PUBLIC sentiment favor the
prosecutrix will, it is understood from
a reliable source, be among the
grounds for appeal.

REPUBLIC in SIGHT?
Leading Russian Party Said to Have
Voted for This Form.

London, March 24.-The central
committee and the parliamentary
representatives of the constitutional
Democratic party at Petrograd voted
today in favor of a Republican form
of government for Russia, according
to Petrograd dispatch. Prof. Milu-
koff, the foreign minister in the new
government, is the leader of this par
ty.
Foreign Minister Milukof has out
lined the attitude Of the new Russian
government in foreign affairs to a
number of Petrograd and Moscow
journalists. A Reuter- dispatch from
Petrograd quotes the foreign minis
ter as saying: I'VE shall remain
faithful to all past alliances similar
to that with our allies, which will be
still further strengthened and be-
come still more cordial and sincere.
The change in the regime will dis
perse the distrust our allies had d
right to feel toward the late govern
ment. 1t is Russia's duty to con-
tinue the struggle brilliantly both
for her own liberty and that of all
Europe.
by the change in regime we def
initely won the sympathy of neutrals
especially Sweden, while Finland,
thanks to the restoration of her con
stitution has become our sincere
friend. Our allies came into touch
with the new regime without an in
stant's delay, understanding that the
old regime was a serious hindrance
to that organization of the Russian
people which is necessary for a final
triumph.
TODAY Russia is no longer dead
weight in the coalition of allies. she
is a productive force. Henceforfh all
rumors of separate peace must van
ish once for all. 1t would be anti
national for freed Russia to come to
an understanding with reactionary
Germany.

NON COMM. SCHOOL
FOR BATTERY E MEN
All To Participate In Big
Memorial Day Parade;
Other Notes
Observation-Disclosures

| Sol-do-mi-do--s o--sol-sol-do!
Saturday afternoon and evening
and all day Decoration Day, trum-
pet will blare forth its martial notes
on the public square. This is all a
part Of the plan to stimulate recruit
ing in Battery Il of this city, and
Harry Richards, former army trum.
peter, has been secured for the pur-
pose.
Lieut.. Julius w Headington has
made full arrangements to pitch a
regular 14x16 army officers tent up-
on the square Friday evening and
this will henceforth be Headquarters
for all activities of the local battery.
Every evening, starting Saturday,
the old men of Battery B will con-
duct a non-commissioned officers
school in this tent which will be To-
Gated on the southwest portion of the
square. All enlisted men of Battery
E are invited to receive instructions.
The Ohio Light & Power Co. has
donated the wiring of the recruiting
tent. Lieut.. Headington and Orderly
Davis will be in charge of it.
Battery u now numbers 118 men.
AS soon as the number of new men
signed up since the medical inspec-
tion reaches 30, another medical in.
h, ia
non and further examinations made.
AS soon as funds are provided and
site determined upon, Battery r.
will be ordered into state camp.
Lieut.. Headington is positively as
sured that the local battery will be
sent into federal camp on July Is.
Much speculation Is rife concern
ing the organization of the local bat
terry. Lieut.. Headington is the only
commissioned officer thus far. 1t
seems to be the general understand
ing, however, that Lieut.. Vincent b.
Welker of Gambler, now stationed in
Chicago, Will be captain of the bat
terry. Lieut., Welker has been in
charge of Battery c for three months,
following his return from Mexican
border service. The original captain
absconded and his successor, Welker
refusing to be considered for the
place, was assigned to recruiting
duty.
Battery r. members are to report at
the tent on the square Decoration
Day to participate in the big parade
which is being planned. The time for
meeting is set at 1890 O'CLOCK sharp.
All men will be expected to be pres
ent.
Lieut. Headington and Orderly
Davis have been fitted out in the neat
