Sunday Schools of all denominations
in South Carolina are expected to OBJ
serve Sunday, February 1lth as South
Carolina Come-to- Sunday School Day. I"
The official call for this day was issued
by the South Carolina Sunday School
Association and endorsed by officials Of
the state and by leaders of the various

them in the Sunday School and Bible
study, and give opportunity, to all who
will, to become regular members of the
Sunday School. Everybody in Sunday
School on February 11-If you're not
there. you'll be lonesome, lis the slogan.
Among the Sunday Schools in this sec
tion that have already agreed to observe
the day are schools of Central and Lib

Owing to the extremely cold weather
which prevented most of the Sunday
schools of the county from attending the
county convention held at Liberty De-
cember GIG, three district meetings will
be held before the state convention. The
state workers, r. D. Webb, and Miss
Agnes Revenel, will be present and will
speak at each of these meetings. These
meetings will be held in each of the three
districts on March 8, 9, 10. Notices of
the places will be given later.

u. S. May Charter
All Liners Flying
American Flag
Morse Ships Might Fill En-
suing Gap in Coast and
South American Trade

Reports thst the United States gov
ernment is preparing to take over
under charter for operation in the
transatlantic service all vessels flying
the American flag were current in local
shipping circles yesterday.
Such action would be taken, 1t is said
on good authority, to make up for the
shortage of bottoms now existing in the
Atlantic service. 1t was stated that an
announcement along this line might be
expected from Washington within the
next two or three weeks.
In the event that the government
makes such a move, il is estimated that
several hundred vessels would De al,
fected, mostly in the coastwlse ano
South American trade. Withdrawal OF
these vessels would leave q gap tnat
would have to be filled; otherwise
American commercial interests wouid
suffer severe losses.
To overcome this difficulty, it is re-
ported that the government proposes 10
have Norwegian ship owners operate
their vessels in these waters. NOT
wegian shipping interests may be Will
ing TO do this, as the transfer TO the
North and South American service
would mean that they would no longer
have 70 run the submarine risk that
has proven so costly in the past. Al
though not generally known, it is fact
that the Norwegian government several
months ago had to suspend its war In
surance bureau because Of the heavy
losses sustained through German sink
ings of Norwegian vessels.
There is still another angle of vita!
importance. That is the effort that is
being made to get Japanese ship owners
70 divert more Of their tonnage to the
transatlantic service. As a part of its
programme, the government may tell
japanese shipping interests that for
every ton Of shipping put on the At
lantic route between America and Eng
land the American government will al
low a ton of steel plates and shapes 10
be exported TO Japan. As Japan is de-
pendent on the United States for its
supply Of ship steel, this would be
potent argument in obtaining japanese
tonnage for the Atlantic service.
II is known that the Japanese inter
ests recently bid more than 5000 ton
for ship plates, but American steel
makers refused 10 book the order, pre-
ferring 20 hold their facilities at the
disposal Of this government.

Czernin Would Mediate
For Berlin and London

London, Aug IA dispatch from
Zurich, Switzerland, to the Wireless
Press, says:
"a semi-official Vienna dispatch says
that Count Czernin, the Austrc-Hun-
garian Foreign Minister, read with
great pleasure certain statements or
Lord Robert Cecil, Minister Of Blockade,
in the House of Commons, which he
interpreted as meaning that England
docs not regcrd Austria as a real
enemy. From this the deduction is
drawn that there are no rea! obstacles
to peace negotiations between Vienna
and London.
.The message adds that Count
Czernin would be willing to act as
mediator between Berlin and London
and that he has noted that in France
as we'll as in England there is no direct
hostility to Austria.
"The above declaration, according to
the correspondent at Copenhagen of
the Exchange Telegraph, led the
.Deutsche Tageszeitung' to declares:
"'Germany does not want negotiations
in such a roundabout way
"The Fremdcnblatt' replied that Ger

even would accept joyfully any attempt
at peace through the medium of Aus

Amendment Must b
Passed by SO States
in Six Years
Vote Is IS to 20;
House Now to Act
Prohibitionists Claim Nee.
essary Two-thirds in
Lower Chamber
From The Tribune Bureaul

Washington, Aug. IA six-year race
to make this a bone-dry country was
set going to-day, when the Senate by
vote Of So to 20 decided to submit
a national prohibition amendment to
the states. This amendment must be
ratified by three-fourths Of the states
within six years after it has been sub
mitted.
The six-year period will not begin
until the House of Representatives has
also passed by a two-thirds majority
the resolution, but that this will be
done is not doubted by the most en-
thusiastc vets. The highest hope Of
the vets now is to stave off the vote
in the House until next session. The
House has until the expiration Of the
present Congress, on March 4, 1919, to
pass the amendment, so TO nullify to-
days action in the Senate the vets
would have to stave off vote in the
House until after that date.
Senators said tonight that this is the
first time in the country's history that
g constitutional amendment has ever
had a time limit string to il. Thirty
six states, the necessary three-fourths 5
to rstify a constitutional amendment,
must have approved the bone-dry
amendment within six years following
the date the resolution is finally passed
by both houses or it will fall to the
ground II, six years after the House
has passed the amendment adopted by
the Senate to-day, only thirty-fve or
fewer states shall have approved il, all
the work done in getting the resolution
through Congress and in getting those
thirty-fve legislatures to ratify it will

Fight To Be Transferred

So the passage of the resolution by
the House, which is conceded to be
coming, whether this session or next,
will transfer the fight Of the pro-
hibition forces TO the state legis-
latures. The real battle will lie in a
few states. It is probable, for in
stance, that but little attention will be
wasted on such states as New York
and New Jersey. The "drys' virtually
have twenty-five "sure" states-states
which are now bone dry or nearly so,
so that they will only have to make an
uphill battle in eleven additional states
TO ratify the amendment.
One OF the biggest surprises of the
day was not the vote on the final
adoption of the amendment, though
this was much larger than expected,
but the vote on an amendment by Sen
ator Newlards. This would have made
the prohibition against distilled"
LIQUORS, instead of Intoxicating
liquors, and would have saved light
wines and beer. II was defeated, 81
to %.
By practically the same vote the
Senate refused TO adopt plan of SEN
ator Phelan, of California, which would
have given the state legislatures the
right to pass either on a bone dry
amendment, or one prohibiting merely
distilled liquors.
Senator Stone, of Missouri. one of
the pronounced opponents Of prohibi-
ton. treated the Senate and galleries
10 another surprise. Waiting until the
clerk was reading the list OF how the
Senators had voted. he voted for the
amendment. At once his colleague,
Senator Reed, another pronounced anti
prohibitionist. rushed TO his desk.
After a hurried confab. he stood up
and addressed the Chair. He voted no.
This does not represent a conversion
on Mr.. Stones part, but merely his
idea that the states should have the
right to determine the question.
