RELIEF COMMITTEE NOTES.
General Conditions are Thought tc
Be Somewhat More Favorable But
There is Still Much Distress and
Need for Constant Work by Tho
Committee.

The influenza situation may be {
shade more encourag ging today, bu.
there are still many persons i'll in tn;
city and new cases are being reported
but not quite SO many as on previous
days. The number of those sick and
in need Of unremitting attention is
large and the resources of the com
mittee and its corps Of voluntee,
nurses are being taxed to the utmost
The time bas not yet arrived for a lei
up or any relaxation of the efforts Of
the committee and those VINO are as
sisting them.
There is an unsupplied need 70:
nurses each day, and any one who has
not yet volunteered for this service.
but is now in a position to come to
the help Of the committee can be used
to advantage.
The transportation needs Of the
committee were well taken care of las:
night and today, but the service Of
cars are still required for the sue
cessfu1 carrying on Of the relief work
The supplies of nourishment have
not been lacking at any time, but the
need is constant. The one thing that
has not been provided in suffi-
cient quantity is buttermilk. Any one
who can furnish buttermilk should
notify the committee or send it to
headquarters.
Report all cases needing attention
from the committee to Headquarters
67, rings. Cases re-
ported will be investigated and
prompt attention provided where
needed.

DARING ARCTIC TRAVELLER.
Capt. Joe Bernard Sets Out on Five
Year Trip.

Vancouver, 3. c., Oct. 17-Captain
Joe Bernard, a daring trader. so1
Nome, Alaska, is spending about hye
years working. his way eastward ir
his boat, the Teddy Bear, from the
Bering Sea through the northeast pas
sage to the Atlantic Ocean.
Reports came from Alaska some,
time ago that Bernard was endeavor
ing to navigate the northeast pas
sage but no details were given. With
jaln1ur Stefansson, the Canadian Arc
tic explorer, on his return here re-
Gently from the north, confirmed tbs
reports and said he thought Bernard
would reach the Atlantic safely, as ne
was a good navigator and was travel
ing in fairly well known waters.
Bernard has been out of touch with
civilization for about two years and
according to Stefansson, probably
will not appear. in the Atlantic until
1921. The trader left Alaska's far
northeastern outposts in 1915 ana
planned to make the trip in five years
If Bernard succeeds he will be on;
OF the very few people who have eve:
negotiated the northeast passage.
The latest to come through the ICY
channel was Roald Amundsen, Whf
negotiated the passage in 1906. Stef.
ansson planned to make the trip on
/ the failure of boat to meet him al
ter he had completed the worst par
of the trip on foot caused him ts
change his plans.
Bernard worked along the norther.
Canadian coast with some. of Ste1ans
sons party in 1916, the explorer salo
He soon left the explorers, however
and pressed on into the barren Whlti
waters to the east The next heari
from him may be when he turns up at
some far northern Atlantic port.

DISTRESS IN COUNTRY.
Council of Defense Called Upon te
Organize Relief Committees.

The reports from the country dis
tricts indicating that there is con
siderable distress as result of influ-
enza in some sections, the Sumte,
Chamber Of Commerce yesterday, lo1
request of Chairman A. C. Phelps, Of
the County Council Of Defense, tool
steps to ascertain the true condition
OF affairs. The chairman Of the
township committees Of the County
Council were written to for imme-
6iate reports of conditions and were
also requested to call their commit
tees together, where necessary, anC
organize for relief work.
It was suggested that committees
en- relief be organized by townships
school districts, and. .communit- for
Inducing men and women to dc
nursing, supply nourishnnent, fuel
transportation Of supplies and
nurses, and other necessary relief.
Where conditions are such that ex-
perienced organization tactics art
necessary for immediate relief OF
much suffering it was suggested that
the Sumter Central and Civic League
Relief Committee will furnish infor.
nation, and that the State Board o:
Health will furnish organizers. and
assistance.
Efforts to organize the colored ru-
raj population for helping each 9th
er were suggested also.
Reliable information indicates
that in nanv sections the white peO-
pie are already doing effective re-
lief work, not only among them
selves, but that white farmers are
taking splendid. care Of their farm
la borers and share croppers, and that
coioced citizens are rendering valuable
.aiG to each other. Scarcity of physi-
clans and nurses seem to be the
greatest trouble. The city of Sumter
will be delighted to do anything in it,
power to help the afflicted rural dis
tricts,. but Sumter has its own prob
lens to solve Cor awhile.

War Music.

London, Sept. 30 6Correspo
British music composers are turning
their attention to attempting to char
acterize incidents in the war. At a

.thusiastic over the story of a Zeppe-
lin raid in which the orchestra brough;
out the purring of an airplane motor,
used the kettle drums for the Zeppelin
engines and machine, guns and big
drums for the bombs while other ia
struments piled up co.or.

London, Sept. 20 Correspondence
The Allies have employed $4,000 Chi
nese behind the fighting lines in

Coolies are paid about $3.50 a
month and pay for other. laborers

coolies, as a bonus for emarking for
France, SIS in case of injury and $3.50
