AT WAR WITH GERMANY.

Grim war has come to the people
of the United States. Long and pa
tiently our president sought way to
avoid this result, and for nearly three
years succeeded in his efforts. But it
has at last come, and this country is
in state of war with Germany. 1t
is not thing of small moment, nor
does any One know just where it will
lead. But it will lead somewhere, and
it will end some time, sooner than
most people suppose, perhaps.
Brazil, Guatemala and Peru are re-
ported as having decided to cast their
lot with the United States. Mexico
and Chile are said to have assumed the
position of neutrals. No one knows
what day may bring forth. There
are evidences of internal disruption for
Germany and it appears that the Eng
lish and French on the western front
are carrying the day, while in the
far east Germany appears also to be
fighting losing battle. That men 65
years old have been called to the front
by Germany is another sign that her
days are numbered. England appears
to be just girding herself for the great
struggle while France keeps up her
splendid fighting. Russia, too, under
the new regime shows no disposition
to waver in the struggle. The subma
rine warfare of the Germans is losing
its effectiveness, or at least is so far
failing to accomplish what the Ger
mans themselves admit must be ac-
complished by it to bring England
to her knees. All of which may be
wide of the mark and unsustained by
the facts in the case. No one knows
certainly, and no one knows what the
fortunes of war will develop. 1t is
merely guessing, but most likely good
guessing to say that Germany is COM
ing close to the verge of the precipice
Many have reached the conclusion that
the war will end in less than six
months. We earnestly hope and de-
voutly pray that it may be so.

ers are standing by US. We have often
felt that we needed guardian for at
tempting to keep the rate too low.
But it is and has always been our hon
est effort to give all we could for the
money. Having pursued the policy for
the past years we intend to continue
it. But our circulation not only justi-
fies the raise in rates. it is impera-
tive. Remember, our lowest yearly
rate is now 20 cents per inch. We are
really entitled to 80 cents. Transient
advertising is at higher rate.

Geilfuss, the president of the bakery
in Spartanburg that makes "Tip Top"
bread, was served quite mean trick
a few days ago, when wild rumors.
calculated to injure his business, were
circulating in Union and throughout
the territory in which that brand of
bread is sold. Mr.. Geilfuss has GER
tainly established his innocence of the
malicious SANDERS, the leading brs;-
ness men and citizens Of Spartanburg
endorsing him in the very highest
terms. His half page advertisement
in this weeks Times sets forth .hc
proof, which appears to US conclusive.
This we write, not for pay, but be-
cause it appears that a man has been
hit "beneath the belt" and we always
had strong sympathy for a man so
misused.
The Union times. [volume] (Union, S.C.) 1894-1918, 1917-04-13

We have never been disposed to ac-
cept as true the charge that this coun-
try was in great danger from the Ger
mans and from people of German
descent within our borders. The dan
ger comes from spies and paid agents
of Germany but not from the more
than four million people of German
blood. And even the work of spies
and paid agents is probably less than
is commonly supposed. Why would
four million people, many of whom
fled from the hard conditions imposed
by the German government, now that
they are free, again thrust their heads
into the moose? Why seek the thing
from which they fled? Why run away
from something that they now seek
1t is absurd. We believe that MANY
of the most loyal defenders of this
country will be found among this very
element of our great nation.

We read in the papers that the
allies need money and food, not men
And so, it takes an aspect that is not
surprising to the thoughtful mind. The
fearful drain upon nations resources
brought on by war is we'll essah
lished fact. This country, it seems,
has the money, and it has the food
or can make it. This leads US to re-
mark that while the soldier who o.
fers himself to his country is worthy
Of high praise, we must not forget that
the man who stays at home to keep
the pot boiling is not to be despised
The farmer who is led by his desire to
help his country, and who plans and
plants to that end, is true patriot
Every man and women seeking % help
by honest toll should receive the en-
dor.ement of all who love their coun-
try. Meat and bread, shoes and cloth
ing-these are as necessary to support
an army as are soldiers.

/ was in Jonesville the other day
when they hoisted the United States
flag and as it was moving in the

He remembered when he stood under
the Stars and Stripes. 1t is no child's
play when we see and think of what
NAV come.
We all feel like we are heroes and
have that patriotism that our forefath-
ers had. I heard my father say the
hosting of the flag and beating of the
drum and blowing of the horn made a
man fearless; he would go on with
more steady step towards the battle
field. so | have said enough on this

Our advertisers have given us a lib
eral patronage through many years,
and, we have reciprocated the favor
by giving an exceeding low rate, con-
sidering the circulation. Our sworn
circulation April 1, shows circulation
of 2950, about three times as many
as most county weeklies show. Most
county weeklies with circulation of
from 800 to 1000 names charge 10
cents per inch. Our minimum rate by
the year is 20 cents per inch. Practi-
cally every contract we have now is
on this basis. To our qualification it
has transpired that instead of our
patronage falling off after the raise
in rate, it has steadily increased We
