ERZBERGER'S "B0MB."

The CourierJournal the other day
noted the fact that one of the bombs
which Matthias Erzberger exploded in
his famous speech to the secret session
Of the Reichstag was his assertion that
the new policy of the United States in
Withholding exports to certain neutral
countries would prove a heavy blow to
Germany, since she is dependent on the
reexportation of these products for
much of her food and other necessary
war supplies. The terrible fact has
to be faced" said the outspoken Err
berger, that the military authorities,
in their estimates have relied upon
these supplies, and that nobody in au-
thority can now say how the gap is
to be filled"

NO TIME FOR SELFISHNESS.

A tendency is developing on the part
of many planters in this section to ex-
ert an effort to obtain exemption from
service in the new national army for
such of their negro farm hands as may
have been registered as eligible for
duty under the draft law. Several
we'll known and influential farmers in
Sumter county have more or less open
IL declared that they would endeavor
t, retain their negro labor by making
affidavit in support of exemption
claims and while they do not so open
ly announce it, they leave the impress
sion that they will not too closely in
vestigate the basis of exemption claims
ii the favorable action of the exemp-
ton board would result in the labor
ers on their farms escaping military
service.
In Sumter county the agricultural
interests constitute the principal
source of revenue and it is only natur-
a that the farmers should be vitality
interested in maintaining the efficien-
cy of their establishments. The nee
essity for negro farm labor is great,
but at the same time, the need of the
nation transcends every other consid
Grafton
The registration of whites in Sum-
ter county is a trifle more than one
half that of the negroes and it is only
common justice that the proportion
should be maintained in the drafting
of men for the new national army.
negro should bear his share of the
responsibility in this crisis and the
white citizens of this county desire
nothing more than that.
If there are twice as many negroes
as whites in Sumter county eligible
for military service, then it is only
just that twice as many negroes be
drafted into the army as there are
white men. If, on account of the sell
fish interest of the farmers of this
county, negroes who have no valid
claim to exemption are enabled to es-
cape military duty and their places
have to be filled with young white men
who are willing to fulfill their duty
to their country, the odium of public
opinion will rightly be directed against
those who make it possible for this
unfair and indefensible condition to
prevail.
There is no disposition on the part
OF any right-minded citizen to deny ex-
emption to any man, be he white or
black, if the ground for that exemption
claim be honest and straightforward
but any attempt to thwart the just
purposes of the law for the benefit OF
selfish interest should meet with stern
repression.

lean dried fruit destined for Sweden
were seized by the British, and al
though it is known that such fruit is
a part of the German army ration and
that it has been finding its way to Ger
many from the United States through
Sweden, the cargoes were released by
the British prize court.
The release was based on the ground
that the fruit was consigned to Swed-
ems victualing committee, which is os-
tensibly attempting to prevent exporta-
tion of the products it receives. The
ground, however, is purely technical as
the court well understands that even
if the particular fruit does not find its
way to Germany it will simply take
the place there of a like quantity which

Times notes her reliance on Sweden
for the safe passage of her goods and
ENJOYS to Russia, her need of the
Swedish high-grade iron ore, the an

of the quantity required for that coun-

reasons there have been concessions

Great Britain for a long time has i'm

nent. She is not self supporting in
many necessaries and essentials. And
so the neutral countries dairy pro-
ducts. vegetables, meat, cattle, fish,
ore, copper nickel and timber have

has been related to exports which

We are under no such obligations to

those who are now making urgent

trade, insisting that it is necessary for
their own people We should not

Little Became Leader

immortalize Little. He had become the

tcnsely stirred by the spectacle Of Lit

climax was reached when Little deliv-

oNDON, Sept. 10. - The laboring
IL man has never been so prosper
Gus in Europe as he is to-day and the
same applies also to the working wom-
an. There is no problem of the un-
employed, because there is no such
class, except as it may he made IN Of
few who will not work under any cir
cumstanccs. OF course, there is great
scarcity of workers. it could not be
otherwise when an army of many mill
ions is in the field, having been drawn
largely from the ranks of the laboring
class. | suppose there are no indus
tries that would not be glad to employ
more men if they could be found; the
hotels and stores are suffering very
much and their service has been made
abominable because of their depleted
STATS.
II required over an hour for me 70
purchase a pair of shoes, the manage
ment explaining that the government
had left them but two of their dozen
statesmen. The decrease in the num-
Der Of purchasers, it was declared,
could not be compared with the de-
crease in the staff. Not only are the
private business institutions wanting
men-knowing. however. that their
wants cannot be satisfied the gov
eminent is clamoring for them also.
The great increase in the munitions
works and allied industries which have
been taken over by the government is
responsible for this. Everywhere one
can see great posters asking for men
and women, offering to give them the
required training and then put them to
work. If Il man so desired, and it was
physically possible, he could ne en-
ployed twenty-four hours in the day
FOR seven days in each week.
OF course such competition and such
urgency has caused a great increase IN
wages and the increase has been SUI
perinduced also by strikes and the de-
mands Of the men. In Europe during
war time, as in America in time of
peace, the patriotic and altruistic spirit
does not dominate the attitude Of the
workers; they are out for the cash,
and they do not hesitate TO take every
advantage of the severe situation in
order 70 better their own condition.
And in this they are assisted and
spurred on by their unions and various
councils. So wages have increased
wonderfully, and more demands are
still being made. II appears as If the
workers were about 20 come into their
own in Europe, as they did Immediately
after the days OF the Black Death.
