WHAT GERMANS SAY.

Berne-Sieniticant as TO the spirit
that prevails in some circles in Ger
many is the latest issue OF the Keel
nische Vodkszeitung. always a sup
porter of the claim that the German
people are behind the anneXationists
and want no peace but one bought
with the sword. 1t says:
III one rides on German railroads.
if one goes to the cafes and public
places Of the big cities where one
meets our soldiers coming from or 60
ing TO the field. one can hear again
and again words and sentences from
the Socialistic press that actually are
a great danger for the determination
to hold out, for the unity and unanim-
ity in the army and behind the front,
for the desire to be victorious and TO
see it through.
In all these phrases Of the Social
Democratic press there recurs over
and over again the one that the war
is being conducted only for the big
fellows, that those who wish for our
latherland an honorable peace that
shall assure future development are
paid by the big industrials' or are
serving capitaiistic interests that the
'annexationists' alone are responsible
for the third year of war and possibly
the coming war winter. All the SLAM
ders circulated TO superiority about
war makers and 'anneXationists' are
bobbing up again

POLICE CHIEF HURT.
A. p. Welch Of Olanta Suffers Guns
shot Wound.

Olanta. Feb. Monday night
some one broke into the residence Of
Eli Lee. about five miles east of Olana
ia. Mr.. Lee telephoned Chief A. p.
Welch of Olanta to bring his bloodI
hound. He reached the scene about
IL o'clock and the dog had no trou-
BILE in following the trail to the house
Of negro, Enoch Hickson. There
were several negroes in the house.
They put out all lights and refused
the policeman entrance. He went to
a window and turned his flashlight
into the room, and as he did so, some
one shot him with a shotgun, the
greater part Of the load going
through his coat near the right pock.
ct and only two shots taking effect,
and that in his right arm. 1t is
thought that the person doing the
shooting aimed at the .fiashlight in
Welch's hand and that this saved
the policeman from being killed. It
is thought that the negro who did
the shooting, and probably some
others, escaped from the house be-
fore sufficient help could be secured
to guard the house. After daylight
yesterday A. p. Welch, assisted by a
rural policeman, arrested Ave negroes
and placed them in the lookup here.
A razor strop. said to belong to Mr..
Lee. was found in the pocket Of one
OF the negroes arrested.
