EXPECT ITALY TO
STICK TO ALLIES
Despite Recent Reverses. President
Wilson and Cabinet Have No
Apprehension.
SITUATION is DISCUSSED
Further News from Front Eaperlv
Awaited by Ogcials in Ameri-
can Capital.

Washington, Oct. 3O.-The Italian
situation was discussed at length by
President Wilson and his advisors at
today's meeting, the discussion touch
ing immediate military aspects and
the extension of assistance by the
Allies. Furnishing of supplies, es-
pccially coal, badly needed for Italian
munition factories, is said to be re-
garded as this country's particular
sphere of immediate action.
Although the administration shares
regret and concern over initial sue
cesses of the Teutonic drive, high Of
ficials here are said to utterly reject
the opinion, advanced in some quar-
ters, that events in Italy can become
decisive of the war or even an i'm
portant turning point. 1t is felt that
setbacks in Italy will act as a spur
rather than encouragement, both
upon Italy and the other Allies. There
is no apprehension that Italy will
break down or weaken in adherence
to the common cause against Ger
many.
Have Faith in Cadorna.
Further adviccs concerning the re-
treat are anXiously awaited in official
and diplomatic circles. Army officers
as well as officials of the Italian en-
bassy appear to be entirely confident
that Gen. Cadorna will be able to hold
the Teutonic forces in check.
Word that the British artiLlerymcn
with the Italian army had brought
their guns through the retirement
without the loss of a battery was wei
coined today as indicating that Gen.
Cadorna's men were holding their or
ganizations in the face of the smash
ing Austro- German assaults.
Artillery Probably Saved.
The British guns arc all "hcavies"
(bg pieces), that it takes time to
withdraw. If all of them have been
saved, American officers think, there
is every reason to believe that much
of the Italian artillery vital to de-
Tense in a final stand also has been
brought back.
Today's reports are taken to indi-
cate that the artillery losses of the
Italians, claimed by the Germans to
| be enormous, comprise smaller pieces
and mounted guns. On the new line,
| laid out years ago as the Italian de-
fense front, there are cmplaccments,
chartered ranges and factors which
will aid in stcmmmg the tide of the
enemy advance. The British big guns
will become doubly useful there.

There are about 1000 families in
Clarendon County and our minimum
number is $500. With two days gone
and only ITO families enrolled, it will
be seen that there can be no let up
during the remaining days of the
week but that every one of the ten
workers in each township must be-
stir themselves. Clarendon County
cannot fall behind the rest of the
counties of the State.
During >the remainder of the week
1 suggest that the lieutenants have
their workers meet them at ten
o'clock each day, when they can check
up their townships and send workers
into the neglected corners. Remem-
ber the pledge Of the workers to give
at least the hours a day to this
work. Let the workers not fail to
report to their lieutenants by four
o'clock each day so that he can re-
port to his captain, for the captains
must report to me, and my telegram
to Columbia must get off by six
o'clock.
This work for the government may
take little of your time from your
business, but surely the men of Clar-
endon selected for this work are will
ing to make little sacrifice for the
great end in view-the saving of food.
l confidently expect better report
tonight.

County Chairman.

In another column we are carrying
an advertisement for the Kirstn
Stump Puller. The concern that
manufactures this stump puller are
making an unique offer, viz: They
want field to demonstrate the work
of their product and will pull these
stumps free. Any Of our farmers de-
string to donate field for this pur-
pose should leave their names with
this paper and we will notify their
representative when he calls here.
He will then arrange the details as

France MUST HAVE
ALSACE-LORRA|NE
=, = o'"' -
Their Return Is New French Prime
r Minister'S Definition of
Restitution"
NJ. BARTHoU TO DEPUTIES
Outlines Policy Regarding War SINH
lar to Predecessors. Appeals
for Unity.

Washington, Oct. 3O.-The test of
the speech made in the French Cham
Der Of Deputies by the new prime
minister, M. Barthou, upon his, as
sumption of office, just received here
by cable disclosed that he proclaimed
policy Virtually identical with that
of his predecessors.
The minister, affirmed the solidar-
ity of France, with all Of her allies
and declared it would be criminal to
abandon Russia. He outlined the
aims of the war, "restitution; repara-
tion; guarantees"
What Restitution Means.
"Restitution," he said, "means the
pure and simple return of Alsace and
Lorraine to France. Invaded forty
four years ago, Alsace and Lorraine
are in no sense different in status
: from the departments invaded three
years ago. Alsace and Lorraine, in
fact, are invaded departments.
"Could France make concessions to
Germany on that point or on any
kind? Never, SO long as a French
hand can hold rifle. The integrity
of the territory we have received
from our fathers could not be the
object of any kind of concession or
conversations"
On Coming of Americans.
The American expeditionary forces
in France, M. Barthou said, would be
a force with which the enemy would
have to reckon, and the French army
and the whole of France greeted with
devotion this first official confirmation
of the entry in line of the American
allies.
The minister ended with an elo-
quent appeal for, the union of all
parties to conduct the war until vic
tory was attained
The speech was much applauded
and was followed by vote of conf
dence, but it did not rally the Socia-
lists support. Albert Thomas, the
Socialist, former minister of NUM-
tion, said he did not consider the dec
larations Of the minister as precise
enough upon the subject of guaran-
tees.

HALLOWEEN CELEBRATION
WAS BIG SUCCESS

The Halloween celebration held
yesterday afternoon and last night
for the benefit of the Red Cross was
a big success. The fun started about
q O'Clock when the Graded School
children gave a parade. They as
sembled at the school house and
marched to the old court house where
fun reigned supreme until supper
time. In the matter of costumes the
kiddies went the limit. There were
devils, witches, clowns, soldiers, sail
ors, cowgirls, cowboys, farmers,
Goldust twins, King Cotton, Charlie
Chaplin-in fact about everything
conceivable. Upon reaching the court
house the crowning of the queen was
the next thing on the program. Miss
Francis Harvin, who had been de-
clared queen was crowned with a sill
yer crown by Mr.. Frank Burgess,
president of the local Red Cross So
ciety. After this event the playing
OF games and the making of much
noise was indulged in by the kids.
In the evening the grown-ups as
sembled at the old court house about
. o'clock and proceeded to indulge in
antics that took them back to their
younger days. A great many of those
present were masked and there was
some tall guessing as to whom be-
longed the face worn under the
masks. There were several shows
such as wire walker, the monkey
show, fortune telling, the American
Chick, etc. The old Virginia Reel
and several square dances were in
dulged in. Candy, coffee and sand
wiches were sold and quite nice
sum; was realized from both the
afternoon and night attcndances.

Work Being Done by Y. M. c. A.

TO readjust the manner of living OF
over a million men is no easy task
and yet this is what our Government
has undertaken with it's great army
These men have suddenly given W
their professions, business or trades
their home or club life; their friends
their church or Sunday school life tt
90 their part faithfully for THEN
country.
To many of them the military life
is entirely a new experience, but il
does not take long for the camp lif,
to become monotonous-then whcr
his duties are over his mind reverts
to his former amuscments and to his
home and he gets that fatal disease
to military cfficiency-common
known as inconsistencies. Some know
it as the "Blues." Anyhow, it leaves
a clark brown taste in the mouth
and sometimes almost gives fellow
a "yellow strcap."
The Army Officials recognize that
a soldier must have recreation and
President Wilson naturally turned to
that organization which had % the
greatest experience in dealing with
the soldiers, viz: The Young Mems
Christian Association, to provide for
the soldiers off hours.
1t must be remembered that this
organization had it's first experience
in military life during the Civil War
to limited extent and during the
Spanish American War large work
was done for the soldiers both in the
Camps in this country and in Cuba
But now the work is being done on
much larger scale and the War Work
Council of the Y. M. G.. A. provides
a building for every. five thousand en-
listed men. This was the plan pur-
sued on the Mexican Border and it

the following: Package of Chewing
Gum, paper of pins, paper of needles,
two spools Of thread, roll of gauze,
roll Of adhesive plaster, pair of scis-

book. 1t goes without saying that
these bags will be greatly appre-
ciated by the boys in khaki.

My Dear Sir and Brother:
Enclosed find my check on Wells
Fargo & Co. Express, Paris, France,
for fifteen (15) Francs, the equiva-
lent of three dollars in real American
money, to square up my dues for
1917. Of course l know you will not
have this check cashed for the red
tape you would have to go through
would be too much trouble, but
thought would send something from
France that could possibly be slowed
away in the archives of the lodge
to show that member of ST. Peters,
tho long ways from home, had not
forgotten dhe craft left behind.
This is beautiful country, even
tho the war has destroyed lot of it's
natural beauty and has caused lot
Of hardship and suffering for the in
habitants. Wish I could write you
in detail, but such is not allowed.
Give my regards to everyone, and
assure them l would appreciate line
at any time as we are somewhat
isolated over here.
Let me hear from you.
