Washington, Dee. 30.--Unless a

that will make certain the limitation
of international armament is estab-
lished, the United States must build

tary Daniels told the house naval
committee.

the secretary, that if the conference
at Versailles does not result in a gem
eral agreement to put an end to naval
building on the part of all the nations,
then the United States must bend her
energies, must give her men and give
her money to the task of the creation
of incomparably the greatest navy IN
the world.
With the completion of the pro-
posed new three-year building pro-
gram, adding ten dreadnaughts, SIX
battle cruisers, ten scout cruisers and
1870 smaller craft to the fleet, AmeH-

that with such a league formed it

bill legislation empowering the presi-

AN INSPIRING SIGHT.

We wish that every citizen of Oco-
nee could have been in Greenville
last Thursday to witness the review
Of troops from Camp Sewer. While
the 1890 soldiers marched down
the street, the crowds on the side
walks and at places of vantage were
dotted everywhere with khaki-clad d
soldiers from the camp. The fact
that over $4,000 men were In line
and marching seemed to diminish
not one whit the throngs of soldiers
off duty for the great occasion.
This parade took place in the in
terest Of the Liberty Loan drive for
Greenville. 1t was an inspiring
sight, and after the parade was over
there was additional inspiration in
the sight Of French officers and Brit
ish officers mixing and mingling with
those Of Uncle Sans forces. These
friends from across the seas are
here in our country to give instruc-
ton, from practical first-hand knowl-
elge of the game Of war as it is be-
ing fought in Europe to-day, to the
forces in training for Uncle Sam s
part in the titanic struggle.
There was a good crowd from Wal
halla present to witness the troop
review and to hear the speeches made
by prominent speakers from a dist
ance. Unfortunately a heavy down

cally the balance Of the evening came
up just as the parade Of troops had
passed through the center Of town.

venting the speaking at the time APP

The sight Of the troops that Uncle
Sam is training for the great battles
in Europe was inspiring. These
troops contain mighty fine fighting
material, and we would be willing to
stake good deal on the proposition
that they will account for a full day s
work for every day they are finally

pealed to the skilled laborers Of the
country to volunteer their services to
the government, Mr.. Belvin enlisted,
requesting that his services be not
required until after his present con-
ference appoint had been rounded
out. 1t was thought that this would
be accomplished, but the government
is badly in need OF skilled men of his
occupation, and few days ago Rev.
Belvin received notice to appear for

the present will be stationed at

and thoughtfully, and then make up
your mind to 20 into the Third Lib

Edmonds very aptly and forcefully
| remarks:
'If Germany had waged its war
W thout barbarism; If every soldier
in its armies had been decent man;
if there had been no out taging, no
murder, no destruction rf homes or
Of churches and cathedrals, Germany
would still deserve the utmost pun

But the world has been engulfed
by awful woe; millions and millions
have died and other millions have
been manned for life; hundreds Of
| millions have suffered in the agony
! of seeing their loved ones forced by
Germany into this awful war to save
the world from German domination
and damnation. Women and chill
dren have been outraged, the chivalry
Of the high seas has been supplanted
by the foulest campaign Of Hell-de-
vised murder Of innocent non-com-
batants that even the devil himself,
as expressed through Germany,
could devise; the very existence of
oil civilization has been threatened,
and If Germany were to succeed, the
whole world would sink back into
the dark ages of atheism and barba-
rism.

fearful possibilities the very thought
Of which staggers mankind.
And all Of this has been brought
| about wholly by this "Made-in-G Ter
many war, started by Germany for
| the sole purpose Of forcing Germany's
domination and damnation over other
countries.
These are the facts which our
people should fully understand, and
then they will slowly come into a
realization Of Gcrmany's crime, sur
passing all the crimes combined Of
all nations from the very beginning
or time. Then they will realize that
this "Madc-in-Germany" war is in
deed "Made-in-Hell" war and is a
fight to the DEATH"
Our boys are in France helping to
fight the battles for freedom Of the
nations. Surely We who are not
fighting should do nothing less than
utilize our utmost efforts to put into
the hands OF the government the
funds to feed and clothe the boys, to
build more ships to carry other SOL

We Americans are on the eve of
