Government MAKING PLANS.
PRESIDENT WILSON AND SECRE.
TARY LANSING IN CON.
FERENCE.
Plans Formulated to Meet Situation
Resulting from German Decision TO
Wage Unrestricted Warfarc-N0
Announcements Will bc Made Until
American Ports arc Safeguardct.

Washington, Feb. 1.--After a con-
ference between President Wilson and
Secretary Lansing it. became known
that the government had already be-
gun the formulation Of plans to meet
the German situation. 1t is said that
1T is not impossible that action has
already been taken, but there is no in
dication of it's nature.
There is reason to believe that no
announcement of the governments
course will be made until all Ameri
can ports are thoroughly safeguarded
washington, Feb. Later in the
day President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing conferred again more than
an hour, after Lansing had worked all
morning on the document he took
With him to the White House. After
the conference Secretary Lansing re-
FUSED to say what had been decided
upon, but opinion became generally
prevalent in official quarters that Il
NiShn III uIpiOIIldllC relatlOnS with
Germany seemed inevitable, although
it is thought probable that an ulti.
matum or warning to the Berlin gov
crnment might precede this action.
The view is widely taken in official
quarters that the United States could
not let the situation go uncallenged.
Charleston, Feb. 1.-The German
freighter Liebensfels, which has been
tied up in this port since the out
break Of the war, began sinking this
morning. All signs point to the ship
having been scuttled, marine men say.
She stopped settling when the stern
rails were within a few feet of the
water and the bow keel almost invis-
ible. The ship is SO badly damaged
that it will take considerable time to
make her seaworthy. The German
officers in charge of the ship refused
the aid of a tug.
The Liebenfelz is reported resting
on the bottom in forty feet of water.
At high tide the water will wash her
decks.

REMARKABLE HEALTH REPORTS

Decrease in Many Diseases Traceab,c'
to Remarkable Mineral Discover.
During the past year there has been
very noticeable decrease in several
OF the most prevalent Southrn diaea5.
es, particularly rheumatism, indigca.
tion, blood disease, and that worst %
all maladies. pellagra.
Investigation in something over 100
Southern towns reveals the fact that
much Of the decrease in these mala-
dies is attributed to the healing pow
ers of a most remarkable mineral dis
covered in Mississippi, a solution Of
which seems to reach the scat of these
troubles in nearly every case in which
1t is tried 1t is sold as Sulferro- Sol.
When every other remedy or drug
has failed Sulferro-Sol has brought
quick and permanent relief in al
most every case. 1t is purely natural.
No drugs or chemicals are added. and
it does not contain a single drop OF
alcohol. For run down, nervous, de-
bilitated anaemic people, there is no
known tonic that will render the great
good that Sulferro-Sol will. All drug
gists recommend Sulferro- Sol because
they believe in it's unusual merits.
Sulferro-Sol is sold and recommend
ed by every Druggist in Sumter and
vicinity. Murray Drug CO., State Dis

One a Second for 20 Minutes;
Ambulance Wheels Hit

MoNTCLAIR, \. j.. Sept. 23.-The
,sks encountered by ambulance drivers
in France are described in letter from
thornton Kearfott to his mother, Mrs.
v. D. Kearfott, former president OF
he Daughters Of the Revolution.
Young Kearfott tells how his car was
put out Of commission by collision
with canton dragging a gun and how
le and mis- companions decided 70 spend
he night in their car on the road
Then the Germans started to shell
=. road 300 yards ahead and back OF
u.s." ne writes. "Soon they discovered
battery about 100 yards to our right
,ii showed IN shells at the rate of one
second We could hear the shells
shine directly over our heads. This
vas all right as long as they kept their
distance. but suddenly we saw bright
red light and heard a bang. A shell
burst right over US. We beat 1T for
shelter and found a piece of corrugated
'fan stuck up between two trees.
we crawled under that and for the
,sxt twenty minutes shells burst all
around us-on the ground and in the
air-but ms luck would have it not a
single piece Of shrapnel or eclat hit
our tin roof. The firing ceased. so we
got up feeling very shaky and went
over 20 see if our car was all right.
Nothing had hit it, either. While talk
.ng there we heard the familiar whine
again. There was no time TO run for
shelter so we dropped fiat on the
ground. The shell burst ten feet
from US and we could hear the ring of
me eclat as it went flying about. Sew
sral hit the steel wheels of our car.
We then decided it was time to find
zeal dugout. We walked down the
road bit and a soldier directed US
70 an abri. where we stayed until morn
.ng when we managed TO FIX up our car
50 that we could proceed back in it
10 our sub-base."
