EIGHTEEN ARRESTS MADE.
Large Numbers of Suffragists Driven
Away by Police.

Washington. July "A suffrage
demonstration by members of the
Woman's party in front Of the White
House today resulted in a comedy
riot, eighteen arrests and much
amusement for holiday crowd.
President Wilson was yatching on
the Potomac at the time.
Thirteen members OF the Wo-
mans party are held at the house
OF detention for hearing tomorrow
on a charge of unlawful assemblage
as a result of the demonstration.
They occupy two large rooms fitted
with beds and chairs. Their meals
are being supplied them from outside
restaurants and they say they have
no intention of starting hunger
strike.
Men prisoners are Al Simpson, John
Jones, w. J. Cain, and c. E. Morgan,
all of Washington, charged with dis
orderly conduct in interfering with
the suffragettes.
The police handled the women
with great care. At the police sta
ton the suffragists declined to give
bail and the men could not give it,,
so they all were locked up.
Toro RannorS Away
Police ripped two banners out OF
the hands of the suffragists and broke
the pole. Lucy Burns, one of the
leaders, was the only woman to vigor-
ously resist arrest. She battled with
an officer for possession of banner
she carried and finally triumphantly
wrenched the pole from the hands of
the large policeman.
A crowd of several hundreds per-
sons saw the clash. While there was
much yelling, such cries as "send
them over to the kaiser" they
ought to be sent up for life," were
frequently heard. The crowd appar-
emily was good natured.
The following women were arrest
ed: Lucy Burns, Joy Young, Vida
Milholland and Mrs. L. A. Greene, Of
New York; Miss Margaret White
more, and Miss Elizabeth Stuyvesant,
Cincinnati; Mrs. Helena Hill Weed,
Norwalk, Conn.,; Miss Gladys Greiner,

While each of the papers In Bam-
berg county had access to copy OF
the selective draft roll, only one pa
per published the roll-The Bamberg
Herald. The Herald was not re-
quired to print the roll, but did so
purely as an obligation to its SUD-
scribers. 1t cost US good deal OF
space and expense to print this, as
the roll occupied about 160 inches.
This amount of space would nave
cost, if paid for, $40. Not many pa
pers have the facilities for printing
documents like this, and we do not
believe there is another paper in
South Carolina published in a town
and county so small as Bamberg that
attempted to print the county roll.
AS. we have stated before, we de-
serve no special credit for this. We
run a newspaper and we print the
nevs-that is all. When thing
like this arises, although the ex-
pense, might be great, the people
expect The Herald to handle it.
While nobody expected other news
papers of the county to print the roll,
there would have been a feeling OF
disappointment if they had. failed to
see it in The Herald. The proper
way to maintain a paper of this stan
dard in a community is to glve,lt 10y
ay support. Just any number OF
people who expect these things OF
this newspaper do not hesitate for
a moment to send their patronage
somewhere else, however, If thereby
they can save a few cents. Likewise,
when they have rush work to do, we
are frequently called on to help out
but when ther is plenty of time and
possibly inferior work can be secur-
ed for a little less, some will seek to
iniure the plant and paper by get
ting their work done somewhere
else. The Herald has always stood
for the best interests of Bamberg
and as we have never been accused
of being immensely rich, it is very
apparent that the biggest portion o1
what is profits to others 60 to Civ

MaIIah ROOKIE Centenary.

Is the war holding back any poem
comparable with "Lallah Rookh," the
publication of which was delayed by
the Waterloo campaign, and took place
Just a century ago?
Perhaps few read the famous ORR
entail romance nowadays, but MOore's
reputation when he wrote it was such
that he was able to sell it when he
had scarce put pen to paper. Murray
offered 1000 guineas for it, but the
poets friends thought this too little,
and approached Longman, STIMULATING
that the price should be mot less than
the largest amount ever paid for a
poem" THAT" said Longman, "was
the $4,000 paid for 'Rokeby,' and on
that basis a bargain was struck, the
publishers only stipulation being that
Moore's poem should be equal to
Scott's in length. Even so, Longman
had the best of the bargain. Seven
large editions were sold within year,
and a quarter Of a century later Long
mans still regarded ''Lalah Rookh'' as
"the cream of copyrights. "-Manches-

But when by this process the position
of No. 4 in the front rank of squad is
established, the corporal assumes it,
exchanging whatever man it is neces-
Sary to displace.
The captain, in advance of receiving
the report of the first sergeant, places
himself u PAGES in front of the center
of the company. He returns the salute
of the first sergeant, and then draws
his saber. The lieutenants, taking
their posts behind the company, to the
rear of the right and left guides, when
the first sergeant has reported, draw
their Sabers with the captain.
The alignments of the company are
executed as prescribed in the school
of the squad. The guide, however, is
established instead of being the flank
file. The rear-rank man of the flank
file keeps his head and eyes to the
front and covers his file leader.
The company executes the halt,
rests, facings, steps and marchings,
manual of arms, 1oadings and frings,
takes intervals and distances and as
sembles, increases and diminishes in
tervals, resumes attention, obliques, re-
sumes the direct march and preserves
alignments," as set forth in the school
of the soldier and the school of the
squad. The difference is that the
word company" is substituted in COM
mands for squad"
The practical value of the instruc-
don and training which the new sol
der receives in the school of the
squad now begins to dawn upon him.

OIL TO BE KING IN FUTURE
Necessity for Petroleum Products
Shown in War as Well as in In
dustria and Domestic Life.

The European war is without q
doubt doing more to direct general at
tention to the claims of oil and it's null
titudiness products than any amount
of advertising in normal times could
have accomplished, says a writer in
the Petroleum Review.
The great clash of arms on the con-
tinent has from its commencement
shown that the necessity for the prod
ucts of petroleum in up-to-date war
fare is no less than in either the indus
trial circles or in domestic life. We
are today as much dependent upon the
refined products of crude oil as we are
upon wheat and other necessities of
life, and as time goes on, and the uses
which are constantly being found for
petroleum multiply, our dependency
upon oil becomes the greater.
It is no surprise, therefore, to find
that not only are petroleum products
generally commanding greater atten-
ton than they ever before did, but
that a particularly healthy atmosphere
permeates those enterprises which
have laid themselves out-and sue
cessfully soto engage in the produc-
ton, the refining, the transport or the
distribution of petroleum products.
There is, in short, no mistaking the
fact that in the future oil will be king.

AP0LOGlZING TO THE TIGER
Raymond BIathwayt Tells of His Ex'
periences While Connected With
a Travelling Menagerie.

In a book Of "reminiscences, Through
Life and Round the World" Raymond
Blathwayt tells the following story in
connection with a travelling menagerie
he attached himself to while knocking
about the West during his salad days.
One day just after breakfast" he
says, Il peeped in at the messroom
door. There was a full-grown tiger
licking the jam and bacon off the
plates.
"'Oh, I beg your pardon? I ejacu-
lated, as l hastily shut the door. A
moment after I met Jack, the tigers
keeper.
I can't find that other tiger no.

The Value of Human MIX.

The value of mothers milk to the
nation was expressed by an eminent
London physician in recent speech
at the London Mansion house HUI
man milk, he said, was priceless, but
some notion might be formed of its
economic value if we regarded it as
if it were cows milk, its most COM
mon substitute. In the year before
the war SS1, 800 infants were born in
England and Wales. The mothers of
these infants should have yielded, on
an average. two pints of milk day
for lactation period of nine months,
which would amount to 220,945 gal
Ions a day, worth about 35 cents a gal
lon, more than $4,000 day, and over
S30,0O0,000 year.

camphor Groves.

Camphor groves may some day be
as familiar to US as peach orcharus
and orange groves. Agents of the de-
partment of agriculture have found
that when planted in hedges 10 feet
apart camphor trees will yield each
wear about eight tons of trimmings TO
tbe acre. from which about 200 pounds
of gum camphor can be distilled. Al
present prices that means a prott OF
about S16O an acre. The camphor
trees are harder than many OF our
fruit trees. but are suited only TO the
southern half of our country.-Ihe

SOLD SHOTGUN
r1R TEN DOLLARS
And Filed on Western Canada
Land. Now Worth $4,000.

Lawrence Bros. of Vera, Saskatcba.
wan, are looked upon as being amongs+
the most progressive farmers in West
ern canada. They have had their
upS-and-downS," and know what n
IS 10 be IN tight pinches. They perse-
Vered and are now in an excellent
financial position. Their story is an
interesting one. Coming in from tha
states they Travelled overland from
Calgary across the Battle river, the
Red Deer river, through the Eagle
Hills and on to Battleford. On the
way their horses were stolen, but this
did not dishearten them. They had
some money, with which they bought
more horses, and some provisions.
When they reached Battleford thew
mad only money enough to pay their
ferriage over the Saskatchewan river
and this they had to borrow. 1t was
IN 1906 that they filed on homesteads
having to sell a shotgun for ten dol
Jars IN order to get sufficient money to
do so. Frank Lawrence SAYS:
Since that time we have acquired
altogether a section and a half of
land, in addition to renting another
three quarters of a section. If we
had to sell out now we could probably
realize about $4,000, and have made
all this since we came here. We get
crops in this district of from 30 TO
80 bushels of wheat to the acre and
oats from 40 to so bushels to the acre
Stock here pays well. We have LOO
sheep, 20 cattle and 60 horses, of which
number are registered Clydes."
Similar successes might be given of
the experiences of hundreds of farm
ers throughout Western Canada, who
have done comparatively as well. Why
should they not dress we'll, live well,
have comfortable homes, with all mod
ern equipments, electric light, steam
heat, pure ventilation, and automo-
biles. Speaking of automobiles it will
be a revelation to the reader to learn
that during the first half of 1917, 49,
600 automobile licenses were issued in
Alberta, twice as many as in the whole
of 1916. In Saskatchewan, $1,000 IL
censes were issued up to the first Of
May, 1917. In its monthly bulletin for
June the Canadian Bank of Commerce
makes special reference to this phase
and to the general prosperity of the
West in the following:
Generally speaking the western
farmer is, in many respects, in much
better position than hitherto to in
crease his production. Two years of
high prices for his products have en-
abled him, even with a normal crop,
to iquidate a substantial proportion
Of his liabilities and at the same time
to buy improved farm machinery. His
prosperity is reflected in the demand
for building materials motor cars
and other equipment. It is no doubt
true that some extravaganza is evil
denced by the astonishing demand for
motor cars, but it must be remembered
that many of these cars will make for
efficiency on the farm and economic
both time and labor" Advertisement.

prisoner who had killed man by hit
ting him on the head with a brick.
The case against the prisoner being
quite clear, the counsel endeavored to
get his client off by making a per-
fervid speech. He said: "The respon-
sibility Of defending my client is al
most overwhelming. This morning, as
l was walking in my garden enjoying
the lovely sunshine and balmy air, lis
tening to the birds singing, and look
ing at all the beautiful flowers, / said
to myself, My poor client, immured in
his cell, can see none Of these

Just then a spectator at the back Of
the court shouted: Neither can the

QUICK AID GIVEN WOUNDED
Rapid Treatment After Battle and
New Cleansing Methods Save
Lives of Many Soldiers.

Lieut.. Col. Gilbert Darling. G. B.. a
famous English surgeon VINO is con-
sultlng surgeon TO the great base hos
pitals at Rouen, which accommodate
1o,OOO patients, says that since the war
began immense strides have been made
IN the surgery of the battlefield. Two
improvements that may be noticed as
having taken place since the outbreak
OF hostilities, writes correspondent of
the New York Times, are in connection
with the rapid treatment of the wound
ed after big battle and the cleansing
of wounds.
Five or ten miles behind the fighting
sufficient casualty clearing stations
each holding about 1000 men-have
been organized to deal with all the
casualties that may reasonably be ex-
pected. so that once a man is picked up
by the stretcher bearers he receives
adequate treatment within a very short
time. Here also is a special hospital,
perhaps of so beds, for abdominal
cases, which are the most urgent.
In the old days such wounds, because
OF the delay before they could be treat
ed and cleaned, were generally consid-
cred to be fatal; but under the new
conditions, by which a man so hit is
placed in an ambulance and sent off
Immediately, if necessary, without
waiting for other wounded to be placed
in with him, the dangerous delay is
overcome and the wound kent aSeDtic
and more amenable to treatment.

FORMING THE COMPANY.

The company in line is formed in
double rank. The tallest men are
placed on the right and the others are
arranged, so far as it is practicable,
In order of height. The company is
formed at the sounding of the 'assem-
bly, on the bugle. The first sergeant
takes position six PAGES in front of
where the center of the company is to
be. The first sergeant, next in COM
mand to the second lieutenant, is the
only noncommissioned officer who
wears a saber. AS he takes position,
he draws his saber and commands,
FALL IN"
The right guide of the company, who
is usually a senior sergeant, thereupon
places himself on the spot where the
right of the company is to rest. This
is abreast of the center of the COM
pany, which is itself six PAGES back
from the point where the first sergeant
has taken position. The squads then
form in their proper places to the left,
successfully, of the right guide. Squads,
like individuals, are graduated in
height. The falling in is superintend-
ed by the other sergeants, who then
take their posts.
Following the report" or roll call,
and inspection arms" conducted by
the first sergeant, if the company has
been formed by squads, the first SER
