AFTER EIGHT YEARS OF SUFFERING

"I improved in every way right

Europsan widows and Orphans.

One of the most deplorable features
of the terrible tragedy that is beng
enacted in Europe is the millions of
widows and orphans that are left in the
wake of battle. Figures given out
from Washington few days ago place
the casualty list of the European war
at 10, 900, 900. 1t is hardly possible to
conceive of such wholesale destruction
of life. 1t would be impossible to
make anything like correct estimate
of the material loss that the nations at
war have sus+ aimed But the ma
terial loss is the least of the many
drains upon the resources Of these bat
tle-scarred = countries. Far greater
than property loss is the extermina-
tion of the millions of the flower OF
their manhood. The death of the
heads of the families means that homes
are practically broken up. Widows
and orphans numbered by the millions
become charges of society and the
nation. These innocent individuals
who had no part in precipitating the
deadly struggle are among the greatest
sufferers. There are more bleeding
hearts in Europe than those pierced by
lead and steel. In addition Ito the
want and poverty heaped upon these
individuals, causing suffering, the
bread winner has been taken. Chill
dren almost without number who have
right to "fair show" and square
deal" in life have been wofully handi-
capped by having their father taken.
Heart widows must henceforth
play the dual role of mother and faith
er. This phase of the war alone, the
suffering of the widows and orphans,
though viewed at a distance Of thou
sands of miles, almost brings tears to
the most callous Individual. May this,
the present resort to arms, be the last
war that shall stain the pages of his
tory!

Congressman should welcome the

takes from them the selection of per-

Executive Secretary of Red Cross
Seal commission to visit
Edgefield.

Arrangements are being perfect
ed by the ladies of the Civic Lea
que for the visit to our community
of Miss Elizabeth Sumner, Execu-
tive Secretary of the Red Cross
Seal Commission of South Carolina.
1t is earnestly hoped that a large
audience will greet Miss Sumner in
the Opera House on the evening of
March the Goth, at 1880 o'clock for
the purpose of hearing her splendid
anti.tuberculosis message. Let US
one and all try to arouse greater in
terest in the great health movement
being carried on all over our country:
the eradication of this dread disease
which means self-protection and
self-preservation of our citizens.
Besides Miss summers message
which will be illustrated by one
hundred charts, pictures and post
ers, the ladies are arranging a
program of local speakers on the
Tuberculosis situation in South
Carolina and in our own community,
Only one State in our whole country
is behind South Carolina in anti,
tuberculosis measures, and that
State is Florida. This fact alone
impresses the great need of educa-
tion on the subject in our State.
This exhibit will be entirely free to
all. Let everyone collectivly and
individually cooperate with these
ladies in making Miss Summers
visit 10 us one of lasting benefit,
not only il joining the great nation
wide and state wide movement for
better help, but as the questson ap-
plies to our own community. A
committee from the League has been
appointed to see Mr.. Lyon and re-
quest that the teachers and pupils
attend id grades and that the pupils
bring with them their pencils and
note books. BY taking notes of
this message the facts will be i'm
pressed upon the minds of the fu-
ture men and women Of our town.
During her stay in Edgefeld Miss
Sumner will be entertained in the
home of Mrs. B. N. Nicholson, vice
president of the Civic League; at
o'clock in the afternoon of March
the 26, at the gracious home of
Mrs. NJ. A. Taylor. Miss Sumner
will talk to the ladies of the town.
This meeting is not confined to the
members of the League, but all of
the ladies of the town are cordially
invited.
Arrangements will be made dur
ing the next week for Miss Sumner
to show her exhibit to the colored
of the town. This
will be held at Macedonia,
March, 81, at 4 o'clock. 1t is
among this race, especially, that the
is making great ravages
and it is hoped that large number
of the colored portion of our popu-
lation will seize this opportunity
for educational improvement.

"Other districts, as natural con-
sequence, are over-represented.
Turning to the situation in the
state of Prussia, Gerard said:
"The cry for reform in Prussia is
different. They want change in the
state electoral system.
"State suffrage there is granted on
the basis of property holdings. They
have what they call circle voting, or
voting by circles instead of districts.
Hence a big property holder voting
in one circle may have more infiu-
ence on the personnel of the govern
ment than 10000 lesser property
holding lights, voting in the next
circle"
Gerard then explained the makeup
of the reichstag.
There are three parties in this
national body he said, "the conser-
vatives, the socialists and the Cath
olics. OF these the Catholics are the
strongest. Their support either to
the socialists or the conservatives
dominates the body.
"This powerful Romanist organiza-
ton was built up years ago as a
measure of self defense against per
secutions. Its sittings in the reich
stag contain priests as well as lay.

substantial individual. thirty-eight
years old formerly prosaic hardware

The feat which brought him fame,
was his flight to Essen, center of Ger
manys' great Krupp works and the

There could be no more apt tlustra-

territorials-the men originally dis

Called from his store at the start of
the war Gallois was mobilized into
the dragons and given charge of a
hospital for sick horses. He was dis
satisfied. He wanted more bellig-
erent job. SO he pleaded for chance
to enter the aviation service. French
officers flatly reected him because he
was too old" But Gallois kept plead
ing and year later he finally got into
the air service. He was efficient and
courageous In scores OF raids as soon
as he began to fly.
1t was Gallois' own idea to bonn
bard Krupps. He volunteered for the
flight with three other aviators. Tho
army officials approved the scheme
as a repksal against German raids.
The four aviators started Friday
