Wilson, senate prohibition leaders de-
clare, is not opposed to legislation
pending in the senate proposing ma

agreement for passage of the bill and
also for some extension of time to
liquor interests.

Government Banking Movement
For Gardens Under Direc-
tiOn of Schools.
TO ORGANIZE ONE HERE
Frank M. Harper, Government
Agent Here, to Work Up
Organization in the Public
Schools.

FRANK Nj. Harper, representing the
United States school garden army
is in the city. his purpose being to
enlist the school children of Lancas
ter, in the organization for the pur
pose OF cultivating their home back
yard gardens under teacher direc
tion. Food experts at Washington,
are sending out warnings to the peo-
pie OF the acute need of increased
food production. Not one OF the
southern states raise enough fool
to feed their own people, 1t has
been estimated that twenty million
tons Of foodstuff must be shipped
from the United States this year to
relieve the suffering people of Eu
rope. In ordinary times America
ships six million tons to Europe.
United States Commissioner Clax
ton has devised a plan to enlist as
many as possible OF the eighty-fve
per cent of the public school children
Of America who are idle after school
hours in cultivating back yard gar
dens, thereby helping to raise food
with which to feed the people. AL
ready over one million and a half
children have been enrolled in this
army. The department is making
a drive for five million. School
boards are being urged to appropri-
ate two hundred dollars in every
town the size OF Lancaster, with
which to employ one of it's graded
school teachers to supervise these
home gardens after school hours and
during vacation months. The plan
has been tried and IT has been found
that each child who plants gar
vegetables iii a year A company of
this army has captain and first
and second lieutenant, selected by
the children themselves. A company
consists Of from twenty to one hum
dred and fifty young gardeners. As
soon as the garden is planted the
government will. through the teach
er director, present the young gar
dener with bronze badge and a ser
vice flag.
Frank NJ. Harper, who for the past
eleven years, has been superintend
ent OF schools at Raleigh. n. c.. is
organizing this work in the towns
and cities OF South Carolina, and of
North Carolina. He called on Su-
perindent H. II. Scott. OF the Ian
caster public schools today. and me
the children in the auditorium. Az
ter brief talk by him of fifteen min
utes one hundred children expressed
desire to become members OF the
United States school garden army.
The city OF Columbia appropriated
$1,000 recently. with which to en-
ploy six teacher directors. Chester,
for the same purpose. appropriated
5000. The board OF education Of
Rock Hill will probably appropriate
$500 for the same purpose at their
next meeting. The training school
at Winthrop college has arranged to
employ one teacher director, in or
der that the students of the college
may observe the practical demon
stration OF the plan.
The children will be instructed in
the cultivation OF both vegetables
and flowers. and a sense OF beauty
will thus be instilled into their mind
that Will bear fruit in the beautifv-
ing of their own homes in the years
to come

DROPS IN
CHESTERFIELD COUNTY
Mechanic Has Arm Broken In
Forced Landing-Came
From Virginia.

Columbia, S. c., Dec. 5.-Four Of
the five aeroplanes which left Lang
ley Field, Hampton, Va, last Wed
nesday morning for the cross coun
try flight of 375 miles to Emerson
Field. Camp Jackson arrived at their
destination at noon Tuesday after
several days of delay incident to u
favorable weather conditions. q e
OF the planes made forced landing
at Chesterfield and was so badly
wrecked that parts intact will be
shipped back to the home base. In
making the landing. Lieut.. E. G
Smith. the pilot, escaped without in
jury, but Sergt. A. Rambicur, the
observer, sustained a broken arm.
This is the first cross country flight
ever made solely by the point of the
compass.
The machines swooped down in
Emerson Field with practically emp
- tanks, the smnnlv of gasoline in
some Of the machines not being more
than pint. A shipment of $50 GAL
Ions of good quality oil had been
rushed from Camp Jackson to Pine
hurst. N. c.. Monday to enable the
machines to proceed. This was dis
tributed among the FIVE machines,
each equipped with a single 80 gal
lon tank. but no reserve storage
The poor quality Of gasoline taken
on In Raleigh caused the machines
to fly continuously at an altitude OF
5000 feet between the North Caro-
lima capital and Pinehurst, that a
forced landing incident to engine
trouble, might be made to much bet
ter advantage. At Pinehurst the
aviators determined TO wait last
Saturday until good quality gasoline
could be sent from Emerson Field
The objects of the trip were to To-
cate possible landing fields between
Columbia and Old Point Comfor
and also to work out a system OF az
rial navigation, by which location 8
may be determined in the air by
means of astronomical observations.
Capt. Isiah Davis. one of the oS
servers. said there were few place
for suitable landings between Lang
lev Field and Pjnehurst. but that
there were many possibilities be
tween Pinehurst and Columbia.
Cant. J. p. Ault. who is making the
astronomical observations. Is a
prominent figure in navigation and
astronomy. Captain Ault has for a
long time been in charge Of the non
magnetic ship, Carnegie" which
has been utilized in laying out
courses in the Atlantic. Captain
Ault makes his calculations from an
artificial horizon provided on tn ,
aeroplane. He also Is supplied with
numerous navigation mans and in
S'ruments. through which the obser
vations are made.
The machines came into Colum

which was maintained throughou

eigh and Pinehurst. where poo

chimes to climb to much higher al
titudes.

our Red Cross must not act and
cannot act most effectively alone;
we must labor in cooperation with
the National Red Cross and relief

that not along the heart Of America

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1o.-Foch is
striking to bring upon Germany q
sembIance of Waterloo to emphasize
allied determination for unqualified
peace.
The spectacular victory on the west
front will carry to Germany more
than anything else to date the futility
of her dreams Of conquest.
Napoleon, after two great disasters,
rose again and was not vanquished
until his Waterloo. Germany must
not be given even the opportunity to
rise again in her military might, army
men declare.
Already the smahsins has reached
the German people. According to re-
ports to this government, public
opinion which was counting on stop
at the Hindenbure line ais seriously
affected" There is feverish recruit
ing everywhere in Germany. =.
All exempted are taken. Workmen
are replaced by prisoners, by Rus
slams and Poles-veritabIe slaves
and by Belgian and French evacuees.
1t is reported that the allied bonn
bardments have maddened the people.
But all available advices of an
authoritative kind indicate that elm
ination Of the evil genius, militraism,
can only be attained by absolute de-
feat and Germany will only confess
she is vanquished when her people
see, close at hand, on their own soil,
the horrors OF war.
