Americans Bad Boys
Germans Decide
(By The Associated PYess)


WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, June 22.--The American SOL
diers now are regarded by their Ger
man antagonists as "bad boys" for
whom the German soldiers are eau
toned to "look out" according to q
young German deserter who sur
rendered in the American lines on the
Marne last night.
This willing prisoner added that con-
ditions in the German lines constantly
were growing worse. He had deserted
because he was war weary and under
fed, and he declared that many of his
fellows also would desert if they had
the chance.
There have been lively machine gun
and rife fire actions and intermittent
artillery fire in the northern section of
the Belleau Wood, where the Ameri-
cans gradually are smoking out the
remnants of the German machine gun
nests. Otherwise the Marne front has
been quiet.
The 28th German Division has been
relieved by the S7th. The newcomers
are said to be. only a second rate di-
vision, whereas the 28th was con-
sidered by the Germans as one of their
best.

AustrioJ,s Unable
To Bring Up Heavy
Artillery on Piave

ITALIAN ARMY HEADQUAR-
TIERS IN NORTHERN ITALY,
June 22.-The second week of the
great battle on the Italian front
opens with the outstanding fact that
the Austrians are unable to go for
ward. Notwithstanding seven days
of desperate struggling in an at
tempt to strengthen their foothold
on this side of the Piave River, par
ticularly on the Montello and at
San Dona di Piave, the enemy
forces have been held.
Italian military observers con-
slider that the invaders position is
such that he must abandon his at
tempt to obtain possession Of both
banks of the Piave, just as he was
compelled to do last winter.
At present the Anstrians on this
side of the Piave are fighting main.
ly with machine guns. rifles and
bavonets, as they have been unable
to ring heavy artillery across.
They. therefore. are reduced to
fighting for a few hundred yards Of

The unsuccessful Austrian drive has
come to a complete standstill.
Beaten on the mountain front and
held along the Piave River line

Orlando told the Italian Deputies.

west of the Piave on the lower
river front, where the Austrian
forces, cut off from their supplies
by the food, are in a desperate
plight.
Pushing the advantage gained on
Friday on the extreme right, the
Italian army, aided by naval ar
tillery, again drove back the Aus
trians at Cava Zuccherina, on the
border of the Adriatic. In the
operation the Italians enlarged
their bridgehead on the old Piave.
and captured $50 prisoners and
considerable booty.
Forty thousand prisoners are now
claimed by the Austrians, an in
crease of 1000 in one day of COM
parative idleness.
Among the mountains on the Italian
left the Austrian guns hammered
the Allied lines with renewed vio-
lence. The Italian artillery an
swered in kind. Local thrusts by
Austrian infantry units against
the Allied lines On Mount Grappa
on the left, and on the Montello, in
the centre of the battle line, broke
down without results.
The Austrians are throwing fresh
reserves into the battle area. OBJ

drive. Greatest pressure is ex-

the failure to seize the promised loot

No one here expects the imminent
resignation of Won Seydler and the
strikes and riots to lead to any such
catastrophe like that following the
failure of Kerensky's offensive in Rus
sia. Germany probably will be able to
hold Austria together. Had there been
Germany among the Allies, and had
she been neighbor Of Russia. prob
ably she could have held Russia up

made had failed.

the best previous month showed only a

This country is making stupendous
effort to restore the balance of man
power on the West front. General
March said that it was now five months
ahead Of it's programme.
Apparently some satisfactory prog
rress is being made in this direction.
for General March said that the luli
in the fighting in France had been of
great advantage to the Allies in per-
mitting them an opportunity to build
up their man power. Presumably the
extra efforts, which are reflected in
our sending about 100000 men in a
single week, arc not confined to this
country.
All the Allies are striving to be bet
ter prepared for Hindenburg's next
blow. Such surprise attack as that
which was accomplished by the Ger
mans between Rheims and Scissors
should not be so likely in the future.
But another drive is expected soon.

Cheraw, s. C.-Cheraw's contribu-
ton to the food supply of the nation
will begin to move in a few weeks
when the local potato crop is har-
vested. One of the finest fields is
that of Mr.. J. A. Watson.
The Memorial Day exercises on
Friday, 10th, were participated in
by the Veterans, School, Military
Company and the town people gener-
ally. The address was delivered by
Rev. A. Fl. McArn, who besides Civ
ing two sons to his country is busy
nearly every day with a special as
signment on Red Cross work.
Quite an interesting sight is that
OF the miniature mountains which are
being made at the gravel pit on A. C.
l.. K. X. below Cashs on the Ander-
son plantation. These mounds are
like large ant beds some being over
twenty-five feet high and are the re-
suit of the dirt being sfted from the
gravel.
Several of the large farmers who
planted their cotton crop very early
have been forced to plant over on
account of the unusually cold wealth
er that has been prevalent.
Mr.. Merchant, who has been for n
time in charge Of Wofford Fitting
School has been elected superinten
dent of the local schools. Another
grade will be added for the next
years work and Mr.. Merchant will be
gwen absolute authority and support
TO make any needed improvements in
the school. Another extra levy will
probably be voted on at an early
date.
The hardest blow of the war was
struck when "dopes" gave out in
