GERMAN CASUALTIES
 FOUR AND HALF MILLIONS

Germany is estimated at about seven million men, the number placed out of action during the struggle is con- siderably more than half of the entire fighting forces.
 During the spring allied offensive the Germans lost heavily in the ter rife counter, assaults launched against the British and French in fruitless endeavors to regain captured ground. No hsts of May casualties have yet appeared but estimates place the number of German casualties for May and June as approximately three hun dred and fifty thousand.

The Historian Wallace.
Greenviile News.

Greenvlile News.
Announcement is made that Put
nam will publish in April a volume
entitled The Government of Eng
land-National. Local and Imperial
by D. D. Wallace, professor of his
tory and economics in Wohord co..
lege. The advance notice declares
that this book is most practical,
readable and useful handbook con-
corning the British government, which
will be most seryiceable TO college
classes, for whom, We fancy, it is
mainly intended.
This gives us occasion to call at
tention to the fact that DR.. Wallace
is a productive historian Of the first
rank. This is the third or fourth OF
his books-The News hopes that a
series Of volumes embodying the his
tory OF South Carolina may be forth
coming from the author of that mem
orable and monumental Life Of
Henry Laurens," certainly one Ut
the ablest and mos. Illuminating con-
tributions to our written history in
the last half century. In his work,
Dr. Wallace employees to the full all
the skill, care and method Of the
scientific historian, weaving a strong
and brilliant narrative from thous-
and threads of fact. The modern
biography does not content itself
with merely a chronicle of the sub
ject's life, but portrays the eras out
of which he came and in which he
revealing not only the actor,
but also the setting. Excellent ex-
amples of this style Of treatment are
to be found in Dr.. !N'allace's Laurens,
in Or. H. T. Cooks David Rogerson
Williams and in Senator Beveridge's
John Marshall. The play Of deter
minisil in the fashioning Of great
personalities Is fascinating study.
South Carolina has wealth of his
tory, a history splendidly unique,
wonderfully potent in the formation
of the nation, but it has been poorly
lily and inadequately re-
corded. Some day, we hope, the Gen.
eral Assembly of South Carolina will
engage DR.. Wallace, DR.. Cook, DR..
Yates Snowden, A. 8. Salley, Jr., and
a few of the younger scholars, to
compile for all time a comprehensive
and authoritive history Of South Car
olina, at the same time providing am
pie funds for the work. If such
series of volumes could be compiled
and supplied to the. schools gener-
al State pride aroused thereby would
kindle a nobler citizenship.

SENATOR SMITES
ARDENT PACIFIST
Visit of Peace Lovers Brings More
Disturbance Than Calmness to
Washington.

Washington, April 2.-Pacifists who
came to Washington by the thous-
ands today under the guidance of the
Emergency Peace federation to pro-
test to congress against war had a
turbulent time. The capital, bedeck-
ed with the national colors and over
flowing with patriotic enthusiasm,
gave the peace advocates anything
but a cordial reception.
On the streets the white arm
bands and I'VE want peace" stream
ers OF the visitors drew frequent
jeers. At the capitol patriotic pill
grims" from various cities went oy-
er the same course as the pacihsts,
urging members Of congress to up
held the hand OF the president and
the honor Of the nation.
There were various disorders, the
most sensational incident of the day
following a call at the Office of Sena-
tor Lodge of Massachusetts, by q
pacffst group from his State. The
senator was called to his door to hear
the arguments of the visitors. There
were harsh words and then blows
were exchanged between the senator
aged Gland Alexander W. Bann-
wart, 36 years old, of Dorchester,
born In Switzerland of Swiss-German
parents. Senator Lodge sent his an
tagonist to the floor with blow to
the Jaw, and while the oAce force
was clearing away the other pasidsts,
a Young man in the corridor pum-
meled Bannwart vigorously before
,rning him over for a beating at
the hands of David B. Herman,
half grown telegraph messenger.
Then the capitol police appeared
and Bannwart, very bloody, was
locked up, charged with assault.
Later he was released on $1,000 cash
bail for his appearance tomorrow
morning In police court. BannWart
for some time has been promoter
and secretary of the Woodrow Will
son Independent league of Massachu-
setts. He graduated in 1906 from
Princeton.
AS soon as the pacifsts began to
arrive today they were sent to Capt.
tol hill by their leaders and told to
see the senators and representatives
from their States. Among others who
were with BannWart when he called
on Senator Lodge were the Rev.
George l.. Parker Of SomerV1lle,
Mass. the Rev. P. H. Drake OF Christ
church, Dorchester, Mass, and Mrs.
A. M. Peabody of Cambridge.
Senator Lodge, Senator Weeks and
others who saw the encounter say
BannWart struck first at the conclu-
sion of a volley of remarks in which
Bannwart called the senator
damned coward" and the senator
replied, 'You are a liar"

TLLMAN APPLAUDS
AS WILSON SPEAKS

Washington, Aril 2.-Senator Till
man, with his arm in sling, was an
interesting sight to the galleries OF
congress during the presidents ad-
dress tonight. The South Carolina
Senator sat on the front row in the
Joint session, next to Senator Lodge
of Massachusetts, who had been eat-
tackled by aggressive pacihsts ing the
corridor of the capitol this morning.
Senator Lodge bore slight marks OF
his experience, and seeing that Sena-
tor Tillman's left arm was disabled
many in the galleries suggested that
"Pitchfork Ben" had also been as
saulted by pacihsts.
However, Senator Tillman was SUI
fering from an infection OF his wrist
His doctors have it under control. He
applauded the president vigorously
with both hands in spite of the sling
and was in high spirits as he went
home after the session.
