Favored by Commissioners.

The District Commissioners said to-
day they favored a military census in
this city, but that money asked for
such count had been denied them by
Congress. The cost of such census
would be $4,000, it is estimated, and
this item was included in the general
deficiency bill, which failed to pass the
Senate. In lieu thereof the Commits
sioners are considering what facilities
they have already without new funds,
and may order a count of available men
for military service by means of the
police organization.

character which may be made availa bic
in the case of war, such as business
operations, the several kinds of ma
terial principally handled, the number

which will prove of value in the case
of mobilization
The executive committee of the as
sociation was authorized to make all
plans and communicate with the proper
federal and District authorities within
five days and that the committee re-
port the plans agreed upon at a spe
cial meeting of the association in the
near future. The executive committee
also was instructed to communicate
with other citizens associations of the
city with a view to urging similar
action in other sections of the city
On motion of Thomas P. Brown, the
secretary was instructed to write to

Company and request that the com
pany and it's employees submit their
differences to arbitration.

has fallen to the lowest depth of hu-
man degradation. And for what? In
order that Kaiser Wilhelm and the
military spirit of evil which surrounds
him might destroy democracy and on
its grave build world domination of
autocracy.
In all the experience of mankind
there is nothing with which to COM
pare the record of Germany's descent
from civilization into barbarism, from
prosperity into woe and want, from
the Astounding healthfulness of it's
people into the awful toll of death
and suffering and sadness which, like
a pail of darkness, spreads over the
land; from its high place in the worlds
esteem to the loathing with which it is
now regarded by the world.
In all the record of human history
there has been nothing to match the
fearful crimes committed in behalf of
Prussian militarism, and Germany,
like all others guilty of unrepented
sin, shall yet learn that it's sins shall
find it out and it shall yet pay the
fearful penalty of the unspeakable
crimes which have stained its course
beyond the combined crimes of all
other countries of all other ages.
On August 6, 1914, at the very be-
ginning of this war, the Manufacture
ers Record said:
Humanity may be staggered by the
horrors of Europe's war, but civiliza-
tion will not be destroyed Millions
of men and billions of treasure may
be lost in this devilish work; thrones
may totter and new maps of Europe
may be necessity before the end is
reached; but mankind will, on the
wreck of these ruins, build a better
civilization-one in which the people,
and not few unscrupulous men who
feel that they have been Divinely ap-
pointed, will rule"
Despite >all of the power for evil
which Germany has been able to mus
ter, we have an abiding faith in the
overruling providence of Almighty
God that Germany shall be conquered
and made to pay, as far as it is possi-
bic for human beings in this world to
atone for sin, for all the fearful
crimes and all the misery, all the
death and all the sorrows and all the
money loss of the last three years.
Civilization would indeed be failure
If this should not prove to be the case.

A GERMAN VIEW
OF THE KAISER'S WORK

1t is said that the following state
ment has been secretly, though widely
circulated in German. 1t is addressed
to the kaiser:
You have we followed, you have we
obeyed, to you we have sacrificed the
dearest of life, the lives of our sons
and our husbands and our fathers, the
ideals and beliefs of our ancestors and
our own better natures. All have we
sacrificed to you. Riches and power
and the kingdom of this world have
you displayed before us, and we ac-
cepted your enticements and promises,
and what have we in return? For
them we have sacrificed our all, and
there is nothing in return but hunger
and cold and nakedness, disease and
death; ruin and destitution have been
our harvest. Never in the history of
the world has there been offer so
great and so willingly granted. Be
fore our heroic deeds the armies O.
Napoleon shrink away and what have
we won by it?
Two years ago the world lay at our
feet; strangers from every land came
kto our cities, and in every land were
the industries of our merchants the
! most successful, our products most in
demand.
! Everywhere was the German spirit
: welcome.
And now over the whole world we
are despised and hated.
On our forehead rests the curse Of
Cain.
Men shun us in the streets, and
our language is forbidden.
You we thank that the achievements
of century of national effort have
been lost.
e We will no longer follow you. We
= demand a representative govern
n ment.
l. We condemn as insane a system of
e government which lays all power in
l. the hands of one single man who may
IS be, like you, driven by ambitions and
vanity.
- We wish to take our place among
- the free nations of the world, and to-
- gether with them tread the path of
- civilization and progress.
- You and your unworthy son send
- brave men to death in flames in th'
I'd air, or to be smothered under th'
ID waves, while you yourselves avoit
- even the slightest danger.
- You strut in full armor before the
be world as the War Lord. Yes, trul!
On war and death for us, but comfor
of and safety for you.

ii people awake from their dreams.

JOIN HOOvER'S ARMY
AND SAVE THE WASTE
Women of South Carolina Can Help
Win the War by Enlisting in
Food Conservation Forces.

Herbert Hoover has called for vol
unteers. He is raising an army to
fight the chief ally of the German
kaiser. That ally is waste. Elimi-
nate waste of food, and the United
States great strength will win the
war beyond peradventure. Let the
demons of waste run riot over the
country, or let even the smallest little
devilxins of waste trot but so slyly
across the floors of ten millions of
kitchens-and Americas role in the
war will be that of giant bound by a
million little cords, unable to exert his
strength and show his might.

seen that, and to prevent the on

demons they have undertaken the or

AMERICAN EFFICIENCY.

German efficiency has been held up
as degree of excellence unattainablc
by Democracy. The accomplish
ments of the United States since April
9Th last refute the truth of the claim.
In the short space of time since that
day the United States has accom-
plished the following:
Declared state of war as existing
between this country and Germany;
Seized 81 German ships and began
repair work on them;
Authorized unanimously a war fund
of $7,OOO,000,OO0;
Appropriated $6OO,OOO,OOO for mer-
chant shipping and as much for air
fleets;
Agreed to loan $3,OOO,OO0,OOO and
advanced them a large proportion of
that sum;
Passed selective draft law and in
single day registered nearly ten mil
lion men for military service;
Enlisted 100000 volunteer soldiers
in the Regular Army and in the Ma
tional Guard of the States;
Sent Commission to Russia to aid
Democracy there and body of rail-
road men to Russia and another to
France to advise and assist in railroad
transportation in those countries;
Begun the construction of 32 camps
for our soldiers;
Sent to England a fleet of de-
stroyers and to France a detachment
of troops;
Authorized and now enforcing en-
barge whereby our enemies will re-
ceive no more food or material from
us;
Passed a food conservation law;
Organized many voluntary commits
slons and boards who are aiding the
government and the people in the
speeding up of work, conservation of
food, and other national movements;
Drafted by lot 6S7 900 men for mil
itary service;
While the government was accom-
plishing these things the American
people have loaned the United States
$4,000, 100000 and offered $1,OOO,O 600:
600 more, over four million citizen
subscribing to the loan.
In addition they have given over
81 ,OO0,O 100000 to the American Red
Cross and $3,0OO,OOO to the Young
Mems Christian Association.
All these things were accomplished
while our soil was not invaded or even
threatened with invasion and without
any disturbance of business conditions.
All was done with the calm determi-
nation and judgment of an earnest,
patriotic people performing service
for civilization and mankind and main
tanning the rights, the dignity, and
the honor of the greatest nation in the
world.
The German leaders derided Amer
ica's entry into the war as a bluff.

GERMANY THREE YEARS
AGO AND TODAY
Manufacturers Record)

Three years ago Germany was re-
joicing in abounding prosperity. It's
commerce encircled the globe; it's in
dustrial activity was the wonder and
admiration of all nations; its scen-
lists ranked among the worlds fore
most leaders in achievements; it's peo-
pie were honored by the whole world,
even though some of their peculiari-
ties caused many thoughtful men to
regard with some degree of fear the
future of a country where the teach
ing that might makes right" had
been sapping the moral strength of
the nation. 1t was not realized, how
ever, that the microbe of this dis
ease had so thoroughly penetrated the
whole body Of German life as to have
made it rotten to the core.
Outwardly Germany was fair to
look upon, and until the fearful day
when Kaiser Wilhelm and his follow
ers unloosed the spirit of Evil upon
the world, Germany ranked among the
greatest and most honored nations on
earth.
Today, Germany is not merely hat
ed, it is regarded with the most su-
preme contempt and loathing by every
rlght-thlnking man on earth.
Germany, the once rich and progress.
sive country, is today staggering be-
meath load of Indebtedness which
bids fair to wreck and ruin the gov
ernment and the people Of that land
and of Austria as well.
From country of civilization, Ger
many has become a country of bar
barism.
From land of prosperity, it has
become a land of almost endless pow
erty, where woe and want and gaunt
hunger are everywhere in evidence.
Millions of its ablest men are dead
Every family throughout its bor-
ders has suffered the agony of the
three years of its hell-born, unjusti-
fable war.
The very flower of its life, the men
whose abilities would have carried
Germany to still greater world pre-
eminence in commerce and industry
have, with their bodies, fattened the
fields of Belgium and France and
other countries.
1t was left to Germany to lead the
world in murder on the high seas, in
the outraging of women and in the
murder of women and children with
its hell-born work of dropping destruc-
tive bombs on unfortifed cities from
the air.
1t was left to Germany to make the
submarine crime unspeakable in its
atrocity against the world.
1t was left to Germany to write on
the pages of history the blackest
stains that ever marked the history
of mankind
Hundreds of millions of people in
the Allied countries, as in neutral
countries, will, for generations to
come, look upon the crimes committed
by German soldiers with a oathing
which no human words can express.
From it's high estate of esteem and
prosperity three years ago Germany
