HAUL THE WOOD NOW.

Farmers who have wood for sale
will find ready market in the towns
at this time, while a little later the
roads may be in such condition that
hauling will be practically impossi-
that there is going to be a scarcity
Of fuel in South Carolina this win
ter. Just how far this shortage OF
supply will reach cannot be foretold,
but it is certainty that there is
going to be a considerable scarcity
of coal, and the only substitute is
wood. We have made no survey Of
the visible supply of wood here
abouts nor have we any figures from
the county fuel committee, but fore
warned being generally considered
on a par with forearmed, or words
tn that effect, we feel that the mat
ter should be brought to the atten-
ton of the people and the authori-
ties.
After winter weather begins there
will be no time for cutting wood in
the woods nor for hauling, and the
necessity for conservation and pre-
paration depends only upon the
severity of the weather The scar
city of coal is by no means a pre-
diction. 1t is reality, present,
and is due largely to the increased
consumption on the part of indus
tries engaged in production Of ma
terial necessary to the government
in the prosecution of the war. The
increased consumption is estimated
az 00,O00,00O tons, and increased
production at 5O,OOO,OO0 tons, which
shows a shortage Of 50,0OO,0OO tons.
The seriousness of the situation
may be realized after 1t is too late,
and preparations at this time will
prevent suffering and hardship in the
months to come. The time to be
getting in your wood" is now, and
the farmers should bring it into
town while the weather is favorable
for hauling. The question of price
is secondary consideration and re-
Gently the question has not arisen.
II has been merely "how much coal,
Cor wood, as the case may be-, can
get. and when can ] get it?" This
may seem exaggerating. but il Is
not.

FOOD OF PRISONERS,


Western North Carolina, notably in
the neighborhoods of Asheville and
Hot Springs, had refused to sign
food pledge cards in the recent cam
paign because of the fact that Ger
man prisoners interned at Hot
Springs were fed 1.-The fat of the
land" The many reports on the
matter varied. At one time, it was
said that these prisoners were given
five meals day of the best that
could be bought and that the author
tiles in charge were observing no
programs of food conservation. An
other statement was to the effect
that the German prisoners were
given three square meals day in
Guiding the "best meats that Ar
mour supplies" with no provisions
for meatless, wheatless or sweetless
|
er's code of ethics. This latter
statement has been somewhat sub
stantiated by we'll known Wash
ington newspaper man who writes
his paper that he is lin a position to
know that the very best meats that
can be purchased from Armour and
Company, together with vegetables
and other edibles, are furnished
these interned Germans by the Unit
ed States government. What the
cost is to this government is not
known, but it has been so great and
SO unnecessary that Federal Food
Administrators Hoover has entered
his protest" This retort was in way
a reply 20 one Of the Asheville pa
pers which characterized former
statement to the same effect as "ab-
solutely false" which charge is US
ually calculated to bring forth a
warm answer
The Washington newspaper cor
respondent says that the statement
which the Asheville paper says is
absolutely false" was given out
from the office of Herbert Hoover,
federal food administrator" and
that "Mr. Hoover recommended
some time ago that Germans in
termed at American camps be given
the same food as that handed out by
the German government to its pris-
oners of war. Mr.. Hoover insists
that there has been a great waste of
foodstuffs furnished interned Ger
mans and he has done everything
under the authority vested in him
TO put stop 10 such conditions"
We confess to extreme ignorance
dS 10 Jne Ifuln OF the situation at
Hot Springs and we neither agree
with the idea of overlooking the
German prisoners of war or with the
policy of Mr.. Hoover, if he is quoted
correctly in saying that they should
be given the same food as that hand
ed out by the German government
TO its prisoners of war" In the
first place, while they should be
given wholesome food and a plenty.
the same restrictions should be
placed upon it as is voluntarily
placed upon the serving OF food in
American homes; and in the second
place our entrance into the world
war was for the purpose of crushing
such policies as are maintained by
the German government, or by the
Kaiser, who is the German govern
ment.

Germany Soon Will Find
Submarines Improbable
SAYS SINKINGS WILL
SHOW BIG DECREASE

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. June 2l.-
Such a development in the submarine
warfare as will make the employment OF
submersibles Improbable for Germany
was predicted Yesterday by William
Marconi, the inventor Of the wireless,
and the leading figure Of the Italian
mission now visiting this city.
There have been extensive develop
ments Of one or two previously used
methods Of combating submarines" no

a decided decrease in the number OF
ships sunk by U-boats. In fact, l would
not be surprised if the Germans soon
found it unwise TO manipulate subma-
rines against merchant ships. owing to
the number Of boats they will have TO
lose TO sink an appreciate number Of
merchantmen.
While Marconi said there were many
methods that were effective at present, he
seemed enthusiastic over the possibilities
of the newer means Of running down the
submersibles. Probably it will be sew
eral months. be added, before the public
will learn much about the measures that
are being taken 70 protect shipping and
the success they arc achieving.

II may happGi that il will be months
before a submersible gets back TO its
home port to make a report 70 the naval
authorities Meanwhile the Germans are
IN the dark as TO why they are losing
their boats"
Marconi would not say that American
inventions. which are being tried out
were responsible for the placing Of Vice
Admiral Sims. at least temporarily, in
command of the Allies naval forces in
Irish waters But he intimated that
American ideas were playing an essen
tial part in bringing Germany's under
