INSTRUCTION AT u
is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Helen Wegmann, the new instructor
in piano at the university, is young
woman of exceptional qualifications with
seven years teaching experience. She
is a graduate of New England Conserva-
tory of Music, soloist course in both
piano and theory and was an honor
student. She is recommended by Geo
Chadwick, director of the conservatory,
and one of Americas greatest musicians;
also by Goodrich, one. of the finest piano
teachers in America. The university has
had many applications from all over the
country, but Miss Wegmann stood head
and shoulders above them all in being
recommended as an artist and as young
woman of good sense and sound judg-
ment. She has had two years as a con-
cert artist. Assurance is given that she
is a most charming young woman, and
the university is most fortunate in
securing teacher of her prominence.

L. L. Young, well-known farmer and
stockman of Princeton, was in Moscow
this morning on his way home after a
two days drive through western Whit
man and Garfield counties in search of
winter pasture for his stock. Mr.. Young
is not inclined to feed $35 hay, if he
can secure satisfactory pasture. He
states that because of the dry summer
pasture, is scarce in the districts usually
looked to for winter pasture.

Relaxation of Efforts.

Washington, Nov. 8.-Relaxation of
effort by American Red Cross chap
ters should not be permitted until
peace is really here said a message
sent today by the war council to
each Of the 1857 local organizations.
But even with peace" said the
message, ''let no one suppose that the
work of the Red Cross is finished
Millions of American boys are still
under arms. Thousands of them are
sick and wounded. Owing to the
shortage in shipping, it may take a
year or more to bring our boys home
from France.
The cessation Of war will reveal
picture of misery such as the world
has never seen before, especially in
many countries which can not help
themselves. The American people
will expect the Red Cross to con-
tinue to act as their agent in repair
ing broken spirits and broken bodies.
Our spirits must now call us to
show that not the roar of cannon or
blood of our own alone directs our
activities, but that great people
will continue 70 respond greatly and
freely to its obligations and oppor-
tunity to serve"

Albert Balm, whose death is an

Albert Balm, whose death is an
nounced at Berlin, apart from being
one of the greatest shipping men of
the world prior to the outbreak OF
the war, was somewhat celebrated
because of his intimacy with the
German emperor. On all shipping
matters he was the emperor's trust
ed adviser, second only, on occasion.
to Grand Admiral Won Tirpitz.
There was a report, widely circu-
lated, that the resignation OF Won
Tirpitz was finally brought about by
Ballin, who declared himself oppos-
ed to many features Of the submarine
policy, and, having the emperor's
ear, was said to have warned him o.;
the serious consequences of the use
less destruction Of merchant ships.
This was in 1915, but after the
United States entered The war, Herr
Ballin had little to say and soon fell
into disfavor, probably because of his
failure to support the emperor and
the government in the policy which
had brought about state Of war be-
tween Germany and the United
States.
There is a we'll authenticated story
Of conference between the emper-
or, Won Hindenburg, Ludendorff and
Ballin, in which the Shipping man,
after listening to the glowing ac-
count of the military situation given
by the military leaders told the en-
peror that every extra month Of the
war meant an additional year in
getting out of the ruin after the
war. He declared he did not ex-
pect to live to see Germany out Of
her difficulties.
Albert Balm was born August 15,
1857. He had devoted all his life to
shipping and had been horored in
many ways and by various countries.
Throughout the war he had ever
pointed out the disaster which was to
come to German trade as a result OF
the opposition to so many countries
at war with Germany.

WAR WORK ENDORSED.
Council OF Defense Calls on People to
Support United War Work Cam

At the conclusion of a scholarly
and eloquent address by DR.. s. H.
Edmunds at the meeting of the
County Council of Defense last Satur-
day, in which the speaker entertain
ed and inspired his auditors by ms
masterful Interpretation Of the duty
we owe the soldiers at the front,
with particular emphasis upon the
necessity of renewing with special
vigor and heartfelt interest the splen-
did social, mental. spiritual, and ply
sical welfare work Of the Seven Sis
ters'' organizations for which the
United War Work Campaign is seek
ing two hundred and fifty millions Of
dollars this week, on motion OF
Messrs. P. G. Bowman and Neli!
O'Donnell the meeting unanimously
endorsed Dr. Edmunds' speech and
the First United War Work campaign
by rising vote. The meeting show
ed itself peculiarly appreciative Of
Dr. Edmunds' talk and the United
War Work Campaign which opened
up Yesterday at Sumter Opera House
and with meetings throughout SUM
ter county.
With the relaxation and reaction
among millions of soldiers, assun-
ing that peace will soon be declared
after months in the trenches and un-
der military restraint in army camps,
and with the tremendous aftermath
of four years horrible and blooos
war, the great outburst OF JOY ana
celebration among the millions OF
peoples OF the allied nations, there is
room for serious thought that our
boys may run amuck' SO to SPEAK
among the temptations of the times.
So that after the war more than our
ing hostilities, as DR.. Edmunds SO
forcibly and convincingly expressed
it, there is greater need for social
work and more money than ever vii:
be needed. On the other hand
should hostilities continue, and they
might, every intelligent ndlVldual
needs no lengthy explanation OIL the
needs of the soldiers.
DR.. Edmunds reminded his hearers
that should peace be declared TINS
coming week, that so far as millions
of our soldiers and sailors are con-
cerned, the war will not be over Ior
many months.
The enforcement Of the terms Of
the armistice and final peace ncSo-
