MAURICE ISSUES REVIEW OF
 MILITARY EVENTS
Second Phase of Great Bat tie on Western Front Is Coming Soon, He
 States

London, August 3O-"The last week has been marked by n pause on all the western fronts--a pause which was inevitable after the great successes of the previous week, a pause aecentu- ated by the bad weather that affected the operations all the way from the North sen to the Italian coast" said Maj.-Gen. F. II. Maurice, chief direc- tor of military operations at the war office, In his weekly talk to the Asso- ciated Press today.
 At the moment 1t is the Italian front where the situation Is the most interest," ing. Here also, after a really important advance, there now comes g pause pend- ing the readjustment of the artillery po- sitions. There is much more to be done during these pauses. The problem is whether General Cadorna will be able to get his guns posted for the renewal of operations before the Austrians get up adequate reserves. some of which are being brought from the Russo Ruman- ian front
 FLANDERS LINE
 "In Flanders the process of wearing down the Germans by continuous bonn bardment, continuous air fighting and continuous infantry raids is being kept up and is having far greater effect than the man in the street realizes. This effect Is shown in the constant necessity imposed on the Germans of withdrawing and replacing units. We are now in the first phase of the Flanders battle. We are exhausting with good success the German reserves, and later will come the second phase, to which we are all look ing forward confidently"
 The second phase he said, would be the decisive attack
 RUSSIAN FRONT
 "On the Russian front" he continued, "there has been another 'regrettable in cident,' namely, the voluntary withdraw al of certain Russian units near Czerno- witz. The result was negligible but 1t serves to show, in conjunction with Gen eral Korniloff's speech, the state to which the Russian army has come.
 "On the Rumanian front Field Mar shal Won Mackensen's attack failed, ow- ing to the gallant Russian stand and the necessity of Austrian withdraws to the threatened Italian front.
 LETTERS FROM AMERICA
 "In the last month I have received a remarkable number of letters from the United states showing how widespread is the belief that the British have let the allied and colonial troops do the most of their fighting. This is part of the German propaganda in the United States. have prepared for you a few statistics to show how far this is untrue

''The committee had considered regula- tions recently established by the United States food administration grain corpora tion for the different grades of the wheat through which all transactions in wheat are to be standardized and speculation to be entirely eliminated. Also that profits to the grain dealer, miller and flour dealer have been regulated and reduced by the grain corporation, ,effecting ma terial reduction in the cost of flour.

PREPARING CAMP SITE

Although the Fourth Virginia infantry had been expected earlier in the week, they have not yet arrived, but the men of Company F. who have been work ing haxd policing the grounds for the regiment, are looking for them with great deal of eagerness. Policing is military term, which means clean ing up, and the men do not relish the work of grubbing up bushes, cutting down trees, pulling stumps and hoeing weeds. They prefer to drill and get ready to fight. The Virginians have always been able to give a good account of them selves in battle, and the boys at Camp Mcclellan are anxious to have chance to show that they are no exception to the rllle

Welcome Visitors.

Saturday Mr.. Elijah Zimmerman
paid his Edgefeld friends hurried
visit. Fo. several years Mr.. Tim
norman held a position in the Edge
field cotton mill and gave it up to
accept a more lucrative one with a
large mill at Westminster. Since
locating in this Piedmont town he
has purchased home and will re-
side there permanently. Saturday
he came down in his car, accompan-
led by his good wife and their FIVE
children. His eldest son Jesse will
graduate this week from the West
Minister High School with honors
and has accepted a position in the
leading bank of Westminster as
bookkeeper. One of the book
keepers of the bank having resigned
to, enlist in the army, the presi
dent of the bank went to the super
intendent of the High School and
asked whether Or not any boy in
the graduating class was competent
to fill the place in the bank. The
SUPERINTENDENT at once recommended
Jesse Zimmerman and, without his
seeking the place, he was chosen.
This is a distinct compliment to
this Edgefeld boy and The Adver-
tiser is very proud of him. Being
chosen for this place in the bank at
the age of Is shows that he is a boy
of character as we'll as ability.

The Chronicle to receive recruits
for this company which is COM
manded by Capt. VIM. NJ. Carter,
an Edgefeld young man who now
resides in Columbia. After June
5, the day set for registration as
provided in the army bill, volunteers
will not be received. 1t is better
to serve with South Carolina COM

ably sent to some other State.

Children's Day at McKendree,

The editor of The Advertiser
deeply regretted his Inability to at

McKendree Sunday. The attend

was the largest on record, there be-

on the ground. A considerable
number went from Edgefeld.
The exercises of the morning
were by the children and, as on
former occasions, were highly
creditable. In the afternoon, the
beloved pastor, Rev. M. M. Brab-
