publisher of the Deutsche Zeitung, d
weekly paper of Charleston, with Ger

rested today by the federal authorities
charged with aiding and assisting a
German deserter from a British YES

man whom the defendant is charged
with aiding, made his escape from a
British ship in 1914, with six other
Germans and hid in the marshes near
Charleston for Is days, nearly starv-
ing. He slew an alligator and ate OF
the raw meat to sustain life He is
now a resident of Berwick Island, and
was recently before the immigration
authorities, who allowed him to de-
part. This case appears to be one
that ante-dateS war conditions. ana

phase than at first appears. Mr.. Orth
is widely known as a German news
paper publisher. Mr. Orth, it is al

for him, soon after he left the British

II it is not an improper question
We wish some one would ask MI.
Balfour if it is true, as we have seen
it stated, that there are five million
English soldiers guarding the coast
of England, and If it were necessary
to have so large a guard, and if not
why some of these seasoned soldiers
had not been sent to the trenches 70
help France to do some fighting, in
stead of forcing her to send her four
teen year old boys to the front. and
if they have that many soldiers what
does he want with Atty or even hun
dred thousand soldiers from America.
Somehow from reading the papers 1t
seems to US that England has forced
France to do most of the fighting.
And most likely when peace does
come England will desire to dictate
the terms.
We take second place to no one in
loyalty to our country, but somehow
We just can't get it into our head that
it is right to send our boys across
the seas, Or try to send them, to be
butchered as they will be. Especially
when they tell us that they have 3
shortage of food and Of ammunition.
Better send some food over there be-
fore We send troops.

Letter From Recruiting Officer.

Richard Greneker Julien, who has
brother in the Coast Artillery company
of Greenwood, has the volunteer spirit.
He went to Greenwood to stand ex-
animation, but was turned down on
account of his age. Failing for the
army, though still undaunted, he con-
cluded to try for the navy, thinking
that by some means or other he might
be able to get there. as he lacks only
some months of being old enough. He
made application by letter to Lieut.
enant Cooper, recruiting officer U. S.
navy, and received the following an
swer:

Some time ago The Herald and
News published a statement from Mr.
John N. Kinard Of the Commercial
bank that he would pay the expense
of one Confederate veteran to the re-
union in Washington and We suggest
ed that it would be a good and a pa
triotic act if We could raise fund
for the purpose Of paying the ex-
penses of several or all VINO would be
willing and who desired to go from
Newberry county, and asked II there
were other patriots who appreciated
the old vets sufficient to come out and
contribute to fund for this purpose.
We have had no response to the III
quiry. The time is near. The ex-
pense of one veteran will be about
$21.OO as figured by Mr. Kinard. We
1ave several applications for this .>r
portunity to visit one more reunion
from old vets, so If there are any
others please let us hear from you,
as it Will take some little time for
them to make their arrangements to
get away The city of Augusta has
already arranged to send quite num-
Der Of veterans in this way. We have
plenty men in Newberry who could
easily contribute to such fund. Will
they do it? That is the question.

YOUNG PEOPLES UNION
NET AT PROSPERITY TOW.

Prosperity, May 8.-The event here
last week was the Y P C. y. district
convention Of the A. R. P. church.
This district comprises all the A. r.
P. churches in Newoerry county and
the Centennial church in Columbia.
Thirteen delegates came from Colu1u-
bia over the Southern and were lmme-
diateiy taken by the Rev. j. Meek
White to his home on McNary street,
where they rested until the opening
Of the convention at p. N. On ac-
count of rain the delegates from Kings
Creek and Unity churches did not get
here. but NeWberry and Cannon Creek
were will represented.
Mr.. Smith of Columbia presided in
the first session and Dr.. Young NJ.
Brown, president Of the local B. P. &.
I. presided in the second session.
Addresses were made by DR.. Draffln
of Columbia, Dr.. j. S. Moffatt, presl-
dent of Erskine college at Due West
and James G. Kinard of Newberry
college Miss MCCARTHY of Columbia
read paper and Mr.. Coleman of Co.
lumbia read Mr.. Claud Sloan's paper,
as he was unavoidably absent. Revs.
Carson, DR.. Moffatt and White made
some impromptu remarks that were
greatly appreciated by the convention.
Refreshments were served on the
church lawn at p. m. and the physI-
cal man was fed to the full and en-
joyed the social fe..ure, with its fol-
lowship very much.
The question box was conducted by
Rev. Mr.. Carson.
All in all this was great conven-
tion in the interest of the Masters
kingdom.
DR.. Moffatt preached for the pastor
at II a. m. Saturday and on Sabbath
morning at II o'clock, after which the
Lords Supper was observed At the
close of this service the matter Of
endowment for Erskine college was
presented by DR.. Moffatt and the peo-
pie responded we'll. 1t is hoped that
when all the returns are in about $500
will have been pledged here. In the
afternoon DR.. Moffatt made an address
upon Christian education at Cannon
Greek and presented the endowment.
Nearly $400 was raised and it is hoped
this will be increased to $500. DR..
Moffatt preached again in Prosperity
that night to a large congregation
and returned to Due West on Monday
afternoon.

The Paeifst of 76.

The pacifsts of '76 are quoted as
follows in the May iWoman's Home
Companion:
"'Think Of plunging into war be-
cause Of petty dispute over taxes
they must have said. NO lives have
been lost; our territory has not been
invaded, our homes have not been
burned. And yet we purpose to fight,
why? Because England puts petty
tax on a luxury like tea. She offers
to meet US more than half way, she
even promises to spend the whole pro-
ceeds of the tax right here In Amerl-
ca And yet We are going to war over
it! Could anything be more wicked,
more insane?"'
There is one reason, and a good
one, why the reporter does not like
to mention an early garden, or a
pretty flower yard, or beautiful show
window, or a flag display, and the
like, as there are other people, always
and Immediately, who put in the re-
minder that "there are others" We
mentioned the first we heard of. That
settles it. And right here is good
place to say that when the next first
cotton bloom is mentioned we don't
want any more reported. Life is too
short.

We wonder sometimes if the people
yet realize what a tremendous war
this is upon which We have entered.
If they have any conception of what
seven billion dollars are. We read
an article the other day where some
one had been making some calcula-
tons of the vastness of this sum. He
figures out that the interest item
alone is $500 a minute. That in gold
coin it would be 13,440 tons and that
it would load 1900 cars with 24.000
pounds each and make a solid train
13 miles long Fhat at S. an acre
it would purchase all of the land IN
the continental United States. Again
this writer says that if you had this
money invested at 6 per cent and you
spent one million day after seven-
ty years spending a million a day
You would have fourteen billions left,
just twice what you started with and
you would be kicking yourself for
pinehing yourself down to beggar-
~ mil1soB day.

It looks as if the war tax that is
proposed on at least some Of the
businesses will act as a prohibition
for them to continue. The publishers
say that if the war tax that is pro-
posed should pass that 1t will result
in closing the newspapers. 1t seems
to us that it would be but fair to
make this war tax come mainly out
of those fellows who are reaping the
big harvest on account of the coun-
try being in war.
The per capita tax proposed 1t ls
stated means s33 per capita. but some
people will have to pay even more
than that AS to the newspapers
probably it is the purpose of the an-
thorities to put them out of business
and then the people will get only
such information as is given out oy
the Bulletin which is to be issued by
the government. And yet we call this
war for democracy. God save the
mark,

/, The State on Tuesday had a very
sensible and sane editorial on "Spies
and Spooks." Because German hap
pens to be travelling about South
Carolina is. pretty conclusive evidence
that he is not German spy. If he
happens to speak little broken Eng
Rsh is no evidence that he is a Ger
man spy. In fact it may be evidence
that he is true American. We know
some of German birth whose English
is a little German who are just as
good and true American citizens as
any native born without even a trace
of German blood in their veins.
The State well says that spies are
plentiful and so are spooks. And so
are "sperrits" but We need to be sane
and sensible The State adds: "Ir
any man wants to hunt German enc
mics, the hunting is good, on the lines
in France, and the shortest way is by
enlisting under the American flag.
"Now is the time for all good men
to keep their feet warm and their
heads COOL"
And we might add that if any one
wants very much to "Soch de Kaiser"
the 'soching" would be good along
the French line and the way to get
there may be pointed out very easily
to one yearning for the job. America
is calling and if you can not hear
the call you had better have your doc
tor to examine your ears.

If congress is unpatriotic If it does
not do just exactly what President
Wilson wants-which is the consep-
tion of most newspapers at this time
what's the use of keeeing a lot OF
able bodied congressman in Washing
ton? They had better be at home
plowing or doing some other useful
work. Piedmont
That is what-we have said afore-
time. If everything done in congress
is simply to be what is directed by
the president and the war experts
and the council, why congress. Let
the boys and the young lady go home.
Maybe they could do something use
ful and that would help to keep away

We are not in the habit Of paying
attention to anonymous communica-
tions of any character. We do not
mind a little friendly debate. In fact
we rather like it. When We know
who the person on the other side Is.
What we think We say and We have
a habit Of saying it out in the open,
trying always to be respectful and
courteous and giving to the other fell
low who does not agree with what
we say the right of opinion and cred
it for good sense:
We received IN the mail the other
day a letter in which the fellow who
wrote it makes an effort to be funny
and facetious. He addresses the let
ter General E. H. Aull." On the
inside is clipping from The Her
aid and News containing the article
from Washington signed ''Newber-
rian" commencing Mr.. Dominick for
his vote. On the margin is written
in typewriter: Whitmire, S. c., May
, LIZ I&. Was this written by Auii
or Dominick? Fess-up. now. Dear
Mr.. Aull." The funny part of this Is
that any one would even have a sus-
picion that we would desire to write
under an assumed name. We endorse
What "Newberrian' writes about MIR.
Dominick, but it was written by
gentleman who has bean residing in
Washington for a good many years,
and who is a son Of q good New
berry citizen who is now living in
Newberry. And the gentleman who
wrote it is responsible for what ne
writes. When We write anything for
the paper we do not try to conceal
the identity. AS for Mr.. Dominick he
knew nothing of this article until he
received a copy of the paper. He Is
not in the habit either of hiding be-
hind any other person or writing or
saying things which he tries to hide.
No, no, kind friend, Dear Mr.. Aulr'
does not mind any one knowing just
what he writes and what he thinks
or what he says. We believe Mr..
Dominick was right in his vote
against war, and We said so at the
time, and the further the thing goes
the more we are convinced of the cor
rectness of his vote, and we are sat
isfied that before this thing is over
there will be a great many more who
will see that his position was right.
If the people we're so eager for war
it is Just a little bit strange to US
that they are so slow in enlisting, and
that such appeals have to be made to
raise the army. and that even con-
scription had to be resorted to in or
der to raise an army. The trouble is
that those who were so loud in want
ing war wanted it for the other fell
low to fight. Wonder if this fellow
who thinks that Aull or Domlnick
wrote the article from Washington
has enlisted. ~
