GERMAN GAS PLAYS
AN IMPORTANT PART
IN THE HUN ADVANCE

Washington, June 1.-German gas
played almost a major part in roug
ing path for the boches to the
Marnc.
Developing its use to higher
point than ever before, the boche
1'astcred the back areas with mus
tard oil shells, fields, woods, ammuu =
.tion dumus, were well sprayed to a
distance of eight or nine miles be-
hind the lines. This oil volatilizing
gave forth fumes which compelled re-
tirement.
The use of gas was more intense,
senator's were told by the war coun-
Gil today, than anything TO date.
Gen. March, chief of staff inform
ID the senator's that the staff view
here is the Germans will halt at the
Marne. There they will seek to con-
solidate their positions. Afterward
IN effort to spread out westward may
"e expected.
American troops will beyond .
!oubt have part in the big battle
within the next few days. Their bri-
gading has been going rapidly and
, it is likely that brigaded Americans
| or perhaps individual American units
will have share in this critical strife
The struggle on the allied left may
last considerable time. The Ger
man effort is now considered part of
he Picardy battle and Amiens is re-
garded as the chief objective with
Paris and the channel ports as the
grand prize.
Thus far, he had things almost
is own way. From now on the tide
likely to turn. There is some pros
iect of allied counter attacks along
The western front of the Teuton
wedge.
/ Foch has not played his cards yet.
Confidence in him is strong in eve
ry quarter. Highest military author
tiles say the ultimate outcome can
not be doubted. 1t will be an anxious
summer, but with the approach of
| fall and winter the doom of Ger
many will be written.
For then, American re-inforccments
will be at hand in numbers sufficient
to turn the scales.
The senators at the war council
were informed that American ship
ment of troops in May broke all
records; that aviation work is show
ing decided spurt; that ordnance is
| on the upward turn.
Secretary of War Baker will make
some announcements of troops ship
| ments soon.
And, these figures will surprise
America.
They furnish one of the very
bright spots in a picture of gray
lights.

A PATRIOTIC REPUBLICAN,

Congressman Rogers, of Massachu
sets, is Republican, but one of the
strongest appeals made in Congress
for the support of the administra-
ton was uttered by him during the
discussion of war legislation. This
extract is sample of his speech:
NO man, | think, can question nv
Republicianism. But / am not. and
never will be, among the carping crit
les Of the men who are, as our chosen
representatives, carrying on the war,
and, | believe, doing the very best
they can. My sympathies 90 out to
President Wilson and those associat-
ed with him in authority. Theirs is
frightful load and burden of re-
sponsibility. OF course they will
make mistakes. That is inevitable.
but unless our words will certainly
improve and not retard thew had bet
ter not be spoken. Unless our criti-
cism, viewed in the broadest possible
way, tends to the attainment of the
great goal-a victorious and LASTING
peace-it had better remain unutter-
ed"
When Republican Congressman.
Massachusetts, Republican at that,
can speak so earnestly,so zealously
and so patriotically in defense Of the
administration it ill becomes a
Democratic Congressman to indulge
in criticism of the President and his
actions in this great crisis. And yet,
and yet sad to say, there are plea
yune fault-finders who hunt with ex-
traordinary ardor for something to
criticise.
Better adopt the language of Mr..
Rogers: "Unless our words will inn

HELD CANTICNY
IN FACE OF VERY GREAT ODDS

With the American Armies in Pi-
cardy, June Under fire that pre-
vented bringing up rations, owing to
the lack of trenches; subsisting on
hard tack and raw bacon; fighting
day and night.
That is how the Americans held
Cantigny for three days. The viii
lage has now been in the Americans
possession five days and conditions
are rapidly improving, but stories of
how they held on Immediately after
the capture are the most thrilling
since the troops entered the lines.
For the first few days as fast as
the boys dug trenches they were
blown up by the Boche artillery.
Then came repeated counter attacks.
Communication trenches were dug,
but were blown up. Rations and am
munition began to run low. Machine
guns and rifles captured from The
Huns were used.
In the meantime, three platoons
traversed a German barrage to the
rear and carried up ammunition on
their back through the shell fire
There was no chance to sleep day
or night. The enemy bombardment
was constant. But not single man
fiinched.
Lieutenant Watson, of North Caro-
lima, stood an parapet during the
hottest bombardment, encouraging
his men and yelling:
'Stick to it boys, give 'em he'll.
They can't drive you out. No Boche
ever lived who could lick an Ameri.
can"
The boys stuck. Any Boche who
got beyond the American counter
Larrage was shot down by rifle OF
machine gun fire The new No Mans
Land beyond was Uttered with Ger
man dead. The Americans are now
digging trenches faster than the
Huns can shoot them to pieces and
rations and ammunlt;c are reaching
them.

UGHi CALOMEL MAKES
YOU DEATHLY SICK
Stop using dangerous drug before
it sslivatss you! It's horribiol

You're bilious, sluggish, constipat-
ed and believe you need vile, dan
gerous calomel to start your liver
and clean your bowels.
Here's my guarantee! Ask your
druggist for a bottle of Dodson's Lii

II it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you right up better than
calomel and without gripping or MAX
ing you sick want you to go back to
the store and get your poney.
Take calomel and tomorrow you
will feel weak and sick and nauseatd.
Don't lose a days work. Take
spoonful of harmless, vegetable Dod-

An Open Letter To The
People of South Carolina

I'm April the country was
called upon to purchase Lib
erty Bonds to tho amount of
three billions Of dollars. 1t
responded by purchasing four
billion dollars worth. In May
1t was called upon to contrib
ute $100,000,000 to the Amer.
lean Rcd Cross. It responded
by contributing over $3.50, ,000..
600. And the best part Of
those two responses was not
merely the amount of money
raised, but the patriotic en-
thusiasm manifested. 1t was
made plain that the Ameri-
can nation Is determined to
prosecute this war to a sue
cessful conclusion at any
cost.
The hardest task is before
us In June. The government
is depending upon the sale Of
two billion dollars worth OF
War Savings Stamps during
this year, and Of this amount
expects South Carolina to
purchase over $30,O0O,OOO
worth OF these stamps-a
greater investment than we
were called upon to make in
the last two Liberty Loans
combined. The government
has designated the month Of
juno as the period for secur-
ing definite pledges for these
purchases during the balance
Of the year, with a fair pro-
portion OF actual purchases
during that month.
We have been associating
the War Savings Stamp with
children to such an extent
that We have lost sight Of the
other purpose involved IN
this government issue, -
namely, providing a form of
Investment which is suitable
to the great mass Of people,
who do not flnd it convenient
to visit banks to pay INSTALL
ments. but who can see eth
or the postman every day or
else an agent for tho sale of
w. 8. g.. and can secure from
him a War Savings Stamp.
which pays practically tho
same interest a. Liberty
Bond.
AS he continues to paste
his $500 stamps-which cost
him but slightly over $500
on his certificate, he has An
actual government bond Of
the value Of all the War Saw
fngs Stamps there are on It.

THE FLAG GOES BY

Hats off!
Along the street there canes
A blare of bugles, ruffle of drums,
A flash of color beneath the sky;
Hats off!
The flag is passing by!
Blue and crimson and white it shines,
Over the steel-tipped, ordered lines
Hats off!
The colors before us fly;
But more than the flag is passing by.
Sea-fights and land-fghts, grim and
great,
Fought to make and to save the state
Weary marchers and sinking ships;
Cheers of victory on dying lips;
Days of plenty and years of peace;
March of a strong lands swift in
crease;
Equal justice, right and law,
Stately honor and reverent awe;
Sign of nation, great and strong
To ward her people from foreign
wrong;
Pride and glory and honor
Live in the colors to stand or fall.
Hats off
Along the street there Games
A blare of bugles, ruffle of drums,
And loyal hearts are beating high;
Hats off!

AN UNSEEMLY WRANGLE

1t seems that the contest for the
seat of Senator Hardwick, of Geor-
gia, has degenerated into a mud
singing campaign, in which each of
the candidates is trying to outrival
the other as to the amount of mud
he can sling. Not only is there regret
in Georgia that the campaign has be-
come humiliating but in Washington
the Georgia Senatorial situation has
caused regret and disappointment.
James A. Holloman, the able Staff
Correspondent of the Atlanta Con-
stitution, writes a scorching letter to
his paper, reflecting the sentiment of
Capital.
Mr.. Holloman devotes a column to
the Senatorial race in Georgia. This
is a paragraph from his letter that
indicates the feeling at Washington:
"The degeneracy of the campaign
into the cheapest of personal politics,
with the world afire, and this nation
in the most serious crisis since the
birth of the republic, is deeply re-
GREETED not only by Georgia mem
bers of congress and others from that
state in responsible government DO
sitions here, but prominent democrat
ic leaders from all over the United
States are taking cognizance of the
unfortunate condition, and do not
hesitate to express themselves re-
garding it,"
1t is to be hoped that South Caro-.
lima in the present Senatorial con
test will show our sister state a com
paign staged upon a higher plane.

our part and take . more ap-

Government is relying on the
