SOLDIERS PORTFOLIO.

A small, neat portfolio to carry sta.
donery, pen and pencil for the soldier
is one of the gifts that can be made
for him at home. 1t is simple affair,
of substantial brown denim, and re-
quires nothing else but thread and snap
fasteners, to make very complete and
handy writing case.
AS shown in the picture, the case
is about ten inches wide and sixteen
inches long. One side of it holds three

chairman OF the board OF directors of
the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, and
Eugene g. Grace, president OF the
same concern, TO a dinner last No
stated what would be done. as tersely
told above
At this dinner Mr.. Schwab took
Baltimore and the country into his
confidence by telling them why the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation thought
the expenditure OF so many millions
at Sparrows Point would be justified.
And here is. in part, what he said:
I'VE have undertaken this gigantic
program at a time when the costs OF
making everything have gone beyond
all previous bounds. Many OF our
friends have urged us to go slow and
wait until the costs OF building plants
and increasing facilities are reduced.
But we believe that when facilities
are needed they ought to be provided
and that builders should not specu-
late on what they may be able to do
in the future. They should do IL now.
Country Cannot Stand Still.
This country cannot stand still.
The United States produced only
1000, 900 tons OF steel in 1880, while
this year 1000, 900 tons will be pro-
duced. When the United States Steel
Corporation was formed. 10 years ago
the annual steel production OF this
country was only 12.0o0.0o0 tons and
many people believed that we were
then at the zenith OF the steel busi-
ness. My own belief is that we are
just as far from the zenith today as
We were in 1901.
when this war is over there will
of a necessity be reduction in the
demand for ammunition steel and
there will be some recession in steel
prices generally. But the domestic
demand for steel rails, for buildings
and for numerous other purposes only
awaits a more normal condition OF
trade to press forward for prompt

when it comes to consideration OF
matters affecting the nations well
fare. Men of all political views:
"Bleasites," "Manningites" and all
other kind of "ites' are to-day in our
army, and you can rest assured that
when the Germans begin shooting at
them they will make no distinction
between Bleasites and anti-Bleasites.
Should the German army by any mis-
fortune ever land it's forcecs in this
country, at the port of Charleston.
they will not make any distinction
in their destruction of life and pro-
perty. You may not like the indi-
vidual who has been selected by those
in power to discharge some duty in
connection with this war, but that is
no reason. why you should fail to give
whole hearted support to the war.
The man who would re fuse to do so
on this account would refuse to help
put out a fire in his own house be-
cause he did not like the chief of the
fire department. This is one time
when factional politics must be for
gotten and our people unite against
the common enemy.
Our Patriotic Duty.
Now it costs money, and lots of it.,
to conduct this war. AS member of
the Appropriation committee 1 have
voted to give to the army and navy
every dollar they have asked for. We
have appropriated millions in order
to increase the. pay of the soldiers
who are going to the front. We have
appropriated millions to make sure
that if misfortune comes to any of
these boys, their dependents will not
suffer. We have spent billion for
aeroplanes to hover over and protect
them. We have spent billion for
ships to carry supplies to them. We
have spent more than billion for the
best artillery in order to protect them
as they charge. In all we have ap-
propriated eighteen billion dollars
and authorized the expenditure Of
two billions more. I would not take
back one dollar of it and I do not
believe you would. We cannot do it
by taxation. A part of it we must
borrow, and we can borrow it only
from you. You can buy a fifty dol
lar Liberty Bond and it will pay you
four per cent. interest. You cannot
lose your money unless the govern
ment goes broke, and the government
cannot go broke as long as there are
people and property in this country.
If the time ever comes when the peo-
pie are gone and all property de-
stroyed, your bond will be no good
but it will then make no difference
to you. 1t is the best investment you
can make, and in addition it is the
best evidence of your loyalty. If you
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1917-10-18

cannot enlist you should invest. If
you cannot go to the front, you
should help those who do go there.
If you cannot fight with lead bullets,
you should fight with silver bullets.
You are prosperous, but you should
not prosper while others bleed. Ev-
cry home in the State ought to have
a Liberty Bond, so that we can send
tc Germany the message that every
man in America is behind this gov
ernment in this war, and in this way
we can convince them that the stripes
of red in the American flag have not
yet become cowardly streaks of yel-
low.
Mr.. A. v. Smell.
The presiding officer introduced
MIR A. V. Smell, South Carolina field
representative of the United States
food administration, whose speech
was received with appreciation and
thoroughly convinced the audience of
the vast Importance which the issues
under discussion bear towards the
determination of the war. Mr.. Smell
made very favorable impression on
this, his first visit to Bamberg. He
opened with the statement that with
their small pay the !, 900 South Caro-
line boys stationed in the navy service
at Fort Moultrie had subscribed to
$4,000 worth of Liberty Bonds, and
cited their spirit as an example of
patriotism. He said that men, money
and food will help win the war, but
the loyalty of the people at home to
the boys in the trenches is the
prime factor, as shown by Russia S
example. He said that he could
understand how people might argue
about the war before America entered
into it. but he could not now under
stand how they could admit OF
argument by themselves which savor-
ed of disloyalty. Mr.. Smell described
a patriotic woman who in offering
her services to the country said she
did not admire the expression so
often used in reference to Americans,
"Do your bit" for she had come to
"Do her damnedest." He stated that
We might not all be in a position to
help from an actual fighting or finan-
cial viewpoint, but explained how
easy it is for the poorest, humblest
black or white citizen to help in the
food saving movement. He gave as
actual figures the fact that if each
individual would save slice of bread
a day it would mean a salvage OF
one hundred and fifty million loaves
per week, and said that We have been
shipping eighty million bushels OF
wheat a week to our allies, who are
paying for it, not begging. But he
said further that Iney need one
hundred and twenty million bushels
per week, and that we can supply
