ENGLAND DEALS IN AF TER WAR
 CONDITIONS
tBy Associated Press,

LONDON, Oct 31-"After the war Great Britain will have to face A con- petitive struggle unique in history" !" writes the editor of the British Review Engineering in his annual discussion of trade conditions. Germany and the United States he points out are the most formidable competitors of Eng land in the after-the-war trade, say ing:
 "On the one side Germany. we'll equipped, highly organized, forced by defeat and debt to desperate exer- tions. spurred by poverty to accept a small profit, anything to regain her markets and her ruined credit. Un- scrupulous and grasping methods will be backed by the German Governy,e en . and financed as never before. te~- many has only to pick up the broken threads of foreign connections to sup- plement the home demands and thus secure the output necessary fully to occupy her large-specialized mechan. .ical equipment.
 "On the other side we shall find the United States, better equipped and staffed than any other industrial coun- try, overflowing with money, with the highest credit and a home market and other conditions essential to a low-cost production. Great Britain's distorted industries, flanked by abnor- nal power and starved desperation. demand. first of all definite and power. ful government protection. - Unless this can be secured her industrial lead CTS will have little encouragement to undertake a programme of improve ment and reform necessary to put her on equal fighting terms with America and Germany. There is evidence that this will be insisted upon and secured for them"

POCKET MONEY WORKER
 MAY CAUSE LOWER WAGES
(By Associated Pressl

LONDON, Oct. 31-To find a solu- tion of the problem of what is known as the woman pocket money worker, conference convened by the Womefis Industrial Council is to be held in October.
 It is asserted that large number of girls of good family are working in government and other offices just for pocket money and there is a dan ger of lowering wages for the genu- inc worker, particularly when the war lis over
 The council is endeavoring to i'm press on all working girls the neces- Isity of not assisting schemes which would send down the rate of pay for those who are obliged to earn liv- ing. It is anticipated that after the war, there will be keen competition for work and that employers wifi take advantage to offer lower wages where competition gives them the op- portunity.

GREECE'S LOST OPPORT U N|TY
 TO BE POWER
(By Associated Press)

ATHENS, Oct. 31-A dream of an empire which would have made Greece a ruling power in Asia Minor along the route of the Orient came very near being realized at the opening of the war in Europe.
 This has just been brought out with official exactness in the mass of diplo- matic documents laid before parlia- ment, and in the statements by Pre- mier Venizelos and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, NJ. Politis. Referring to the territorial concessions which Greece could have acquired at the time, NJ. Venizelos said:
 q had succeeded in obtaining the recognition of the rights of Hellenism over Western Asia Minor. And I can say without exaggeration that the day I received the communication of Sir Edward Grey speaking of very import, ant territorial concessions on the coast of Asia Minor, was a day of rejoicing as keen as that when the treaty of Bucharest was signed, giving us Sa loniki, Macedonia and new Greece.
 q who had known how small and feeble Greece was only three or four years ago, saw the simplifying bound she was about to make. This little Greco had now succeeded ip occupying a place equal to that of the great powers in the settlement of the fate of Turkey which has been the apple of discord between the European powers for a long time."
 But as Asia Minor was a field of German ambition and hope, M Ven izelos said he had found himself op- posed not only by King Constantine, but also by the army general staff, which, he declared, served a policy purely Germanic." And with this op- position, backed by the king, the op- portunity held out to Greece to become a great power in Asia was finally lost.
 M. Politis, the Minister of Foreig Affairs, gave some of the details of these concessions, and told how near they came to being realized in two for. nal treaties.
 Such was the desire of western powers, he said, "to have Greece adopt policy mutually advantageous to them and to Greece, that they de- clared to the Hellenic government that they were ready to assure Greece, in return for it's cooperation in the war against Turkey, Symra and an im- portant part of the Hinterland."
 After lengthy discussion NJ. Poli- tis said, double conviction was con cluded. But at this point the army staff intervened an succeeded in de- feating the plan.
 While these large territorial plans came to nothing, yet their definiteness indicates they may again be heard | from when the final adjustment of the war takes place, for Greece is not I unlikely to have the same aspirations toward entering Asia Minor, and the western powers the same willingness they have already shown to give to Greece foothold on this rout to the Orient.

BO|LERMAKER'SJOB
MOST HAZARDOUS
INMACH|NE WORK

Boilermakers and yard laborers
have the most hazardous occupations
In the machine industry, according to
a statement given out by the Bureau
OF Statistics, United States Depart
ment OF Labor. In boilershops the
statement shows that there are 224
accidents for every 1000 full-time
workers and the average time lost
is twenty-ssven Gays per full time
worker. The rea.nns given for the
high rate are Insecure trestles and
faulty scaffolds.
The statement shows that accidents
in shops engaged in machine build
ing are fewer than most other in
dustrIes and less time is lost on ac-
count of accidents.
In an investigation recently made
by the bureau, covering 1914 plants
engaged in machine building the to-
tai number of accidents for one year
were found to be 13,047. These re-
suited in 81 deaths, All permanent

DEATH OF MISS
FRANCES RICHEY
She Passed Away Wednesday Morn
ing at Four O'clock After Long
Illness,

Miss Frances Richey died We'd
nesday morning, October Oath, 1917,
at four o'clock, at the home of her
sister, Mrs. W. F. Perrin. She had
been ill for the past six months and
was an intense sufferer. All that
medical skill could do was done for
her. She had the loving care of her
sisters and brother and the interest
ed attention of friends, but all was
of no avail and she has passed out of
life when life should have been
brightest and most beautiful to her.
Miss Richey was the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. C. r. Richey, and was
known to all of our people as one
of the "Richey Twins" She was of
a bright, vivacious disposition and
was popular with the younger set.
She was born in 1890 and was, there
fore, in her twenty-sixth year.
Miss Richey was a member of the
Presbyterian church and her funeral
services were conducted by her pas
tor, Rev. H. W. Pratt, at three
O'Clock Wednesday at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Perrin, and the inter-
ment was at Lebanon, beside her
mother and father, both of whom
died several years ago.
The pail bearers were: Messrs.
Wilson Johnson, Otto Bristow, Jor-
dan Ramey, Glenn Baskin, D. Ward
law, and DR.. J. r. Nickles. The flor
al offerings were many and very
beautiful, attesting the sympathy
felt for the family.
Miss Richie yis survived by her
twin sister, Mrs. Charles M. McKen-
zie, her other sisters, Mrs. w. F.
Perrin, Miss jamie Lou and Miss Lii
liam Richey and brother, Mr.. G..
Lamar Richey, all of whom have the
sincere sympathy of all our people.

ARMY TO ESCAPE
WINTERS. BLAST
NORTHERN TROOPS HEAD
Ed FOR SOUTH
Soldiers From Pennsylvania
Sent to mcarolina''-Win-
ter Too Severe.

Washington, Oct. 24.-Press dis
patches from Gettysburg, Pa, today
stating that troops from that place
had been sent to one Of the Carolina
camps for the winter because Of cold
weather prevailing there is a con-
firmation. of a former story sent out
from Washington that large numbers
of men from Northern camps would
shortly go South.
In this correspondence it was stht-
ed to be the policy of the war de-
partment to send the men South and
that most likely most of these would
20 either to Camp Jackson at Colum-
bia or Camp Gordon at Atlanta.
While particulars could not be OBJ
tanned here today from war depart
ment officials regarding this action,
because of the secrecy being main
tanned regarding the movement of
troops from one camp to another,
those in a position to know believe
that within the very near future as
many of the Southern camps as are
able to take care of this increment
will get the bulk of the Northern
army.
While some of them may 60 to the
divisional camps it appears likely
that most of the men being shifted
from the North to the South will 60
to one of the national camps and as
the Gettysburg men are said to be
routed for Carolina it is likely that
they will go to Columbia, to be fol-
lowed by others for Camp Gordon.
It is impossible for the men in the
Northern camps, it is stated, to with
stand the cold weather of that sec'
ton and drilling and outdoor man.
euvers will soon be out OF the ques-
ton.

DEATH OF MRS. e..
CHARLES F. McNEIL
Death Came Wednesday Morning at
Eight O'clock, After an Illness of
Several Weeks.

Mrs. Charles +. Mcneil died ct
her home on Parker street Wednes-
day morning at eight o'clock, Oct.
oath, 1917, after an illness of three
weeks, in the twenty-third year of
her life.
Funeral services were held at
three o'clock Thursday afternoon in
the Methodist church, of which she
was a member, conducted by Rev.
J. L. Daniels and DR.. Geo. W. Swope.
The flower laden casket was carried
into the church by Messrs. Geo. Gam
brell, Luther Tolbert, Horace Meal
lister, w. D. Barksdale, W. L. Pee
bles, j. W. McIlwain, Bradley Reese
and r. L. Mabry.
After beautiful song service and
the impressive words of the pastors,
the remains were carried to- Long
Cane cemetery for interment.
Mrs. Mcneil was the eldest daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. E. M. Anderson
and came to Abbeville from Union
with them about seven years ago.
She attended the schools Of the city
and made many friends among the
pupils.
On Aug. 18th, 1912, she was hap
PLY married to Charles F. Mcneil,
since which time she has bent her
talents and energies to the making
of happy home for her husband
and children. Mrs. Mcneil was a
deeply religious woman and was an
energetic worker in her church So
cieties, a most liberal contributor
to the charities of the town, doing
good in many ways.
She is survived by her husband
and four little children, the youngest
being a baby of three weeks, and
by her mother and father, two sis
ters and two brothers, and host of
relatives and sincere friends.
It is particularly sad that one so
young, so bouyant with the hope of
a long life and with so much to live
for should pass into the great be-
yond.
The sincere sympathy of the town
goes out to the disconsolate hus-
band, to the little children so sadly
bereft and to the parents who have
lost their first born.
