Rotterdam, Nethsrlands.-In SO far
as Germany is concerned, the German
government means to do away with
the anomaly that the majority Of mem
bers Of belligerent parliaments have
no first-hand knowledge Of what real
war is. II is sending the members of
the Reichstag ON visits to the front in
parties of eight. Within three months
it is expected that every member viii
be given the opportunity of making
such trip.

ment is a strongly constructed grating
through which the occupants can view
.he earth below. The sides Of two Of
the compartments are built to open and
afford q view of the surrounding
clouds, or, in case of combat, of the
enemy planes. When the leviathan
motors are started their roar is awe
inspiring, and the wind from the pro-
pellers sends backward blast in front
Of which a strong man would find diff
Guilty in remaining erect.
This is a picture which must be i'm
pressed upon the public mind If the
great mass of the people is to realize
what the United States is going to
do. The task set for the American
workers is not that of turning out light,
hurriedly built scouting machines to
the number Of tens of thousands, but to
construct carefully with the last de-
gree of ingenuity the highly developed
war craft needed in modern battles.
That is what England expects of her
newest ally and what she has striven
valiantly to teach authorities across
the Atlantic. The vast technical detail
developed by continuous fighting in the
air has been turned over entire so that
the United States begins the work with
the most favorable chances Of success.
The invention Of some new fighting
machine after the manner of the tank
is what all Europe expects Of America,
and they expect to see the new ma
chimes, airplanes or walking seaplanes
or flying torpedo boats come to France
fully manned, nicknamed and prepared
to throw new terrors into the heart
! of an enemy who invented terrorism

CANDY TABOO.

eUo1umbia, Oct 5.-MT. Herbert
Aoover, through David R. Coker, fooo
administrator, has appealed to patri-
-aotic South Carolinans to preserve the
sugar supply. In a telegram to Mr
Cocker the food administration says:
.We understanding that patriotic
and civic organizations in certain Sec
aions of the sousn are holding bazaars
at which candies and other sweets
recurring large amounts of sugar are
being sold, the National Confection-
sers' association has extensively ad-
yertised October as candy day. AT
earnest request of Herbert Hoover,
the association has patriotical1y
changed candy boosters into candy
conservation in order to conserve sup
zoly of sugar now on hand that we may
export sugar to France and the allies
csNmg men in the trenches vino are
making our fight sufficient OF this
most necessary food product to pro
cserve their nerve and stamina in the
larduous task they are doing for civil
,,aization. Will the good people OF
South Carolina join in this most nm
portant work of conservation"
