WIN-THE.WAR- CONGRESS.

The leadership of the South is
called to meet at Birmingham, Ala,
April IA, to II, for a Win-the-W War
Congress. The convention will be
held under the auspices Of the South
ern Sociological Congress and the
Birmingham Civic Association. Del
egates are to be appointed by the
Governors of the sixteen southern
states, Mayors of cities and heads Of
institutions of education and social
service.
The Federal Government is CO,
operating most effectively and will
be represented on the program by
some of the able speakers from
the Department of Labor, the Blu.
reau of Education, the Children's
Bureau, the United States public
Health Service and the American
Red Cross. The Governments .ot
France and Great Britain will be
represented by speakers appointed
by the Ambassadors of these Ma.
tions. Several of the leading ma.
tional organizations have appointed
speakers, including the Federal
Council of Churches of Christ in
America, the Independent Order OF
B'nai Birth, the international Y
M. C. A., Committee, the Anti-Sa-
loon League and the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. The Governors OF
several states have already accepted
invitations to be present and par.
ticipate.
The program is built on the
South's most vital resources for vic.
tory-health, food and labor. 1t is
absolutely imperative that the South
should redouble her efforts at once
to feed and clothe the Nation dur.

educates the children by reading
them good books. Just now they
are deep in the pleasures of cover

the grade is fighting the battles OF
the Allies on the Western front
along with Empey and his comrades.
Throughout the book the Ameri-
cans are spoken of as yankees,
and when the teacher explained
that this term applied to both North
and South Henry Simpson remark
ed that the "people Of the South
just won't stand for that" much to
the amusement of his New jersey
teacher.

showed the foresight to can and
preserve reaped the full benefits by
not having to buy canned goods at
high prices. From a purely eco
nomical standpoint the necessity of
canning fruits and vegetables is
more serious this year than ever be-
fore. Last year many thought they
would not be able to get sugar for
their canned goods, jellies and pre-
serves. The government is .regulat-
ing, and will continue to regulate the
price of sugar, and will hold it at
normal figure. Food Administrator
Elliott is confident that ten cents
per pound for sugar, at retail, will
be the prevailing price. It is, there
fore, very prudent to plant vegeta-
bles and such foodstuf' as can be
conserved during thecoming sum-
mer. The government is already
taking ample precaution to see
that every body gets plenty of con-
tainers and sugar, and the following
telegram was sent out from the Food
Administration office in Washington.
It will be of general interest, and
reads:
Regarding sugar supplied for
manufacturing of essential food pro-
ducts approaching necessity Of
both production and preservatinn of
food supplies as well as rejecting
the policy, of the food administra-
ton as bearing upon collateral in
dustries, such as manufacturers of
cans and fruit jars, etc., and buyers
of same, all manufacturers of es-
sential food products are advised
that they will be able to obtain
their full necessary requirements of
sugar for manufacturing purposes
during coming season. This applies
particularly to packers of fruits,
condensed milk, and such vegetables
for preservation of which sugar may
be necessary, as well as to the house
wives for usage in preserving pur-
poses. When car shortage is re-
lieved supplies of sugar will be avail
able for necessary preservation pur-
poses. Shipments from Cuba are
increasing"
Chairman August Kohn, in chaiA z
of the Conservation and production
campaign in this State, on these as
surances feels all the more justified
in begging the people to strain ev4
cry effort in planning food crops and
gardens. The surplus will be needed

ASLEEP ON DUTY is
CHARGED TO TWO

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Four Am
erican soldiers of the expeditionary
forces have been sentenced to be
shot, two for being found asleep
while on duty in the front-line
trenches, and two for refusing to
obey orders of superior officers.
The men were tried by a general
court-martial, the findings of which
and the sentence have been approved
by General Pershing. The papers in
the case were forwarded here today
and will be reviewed by President
Wilson before the men are executed.
That the men have not already
paid the extreme penalty for this
serious breach of discipline is due to
the policy of the War Department,
put into effect after the execution a
short time ago Of thirteen negro
regulars in Texas for participation
in the Houston riots. In that case
only the commanding general of the
department reviewed the evidence
upon which the negroes were con-
victed, that being all that is requir-
ed in time of war. After that incl
dent, however, it was decided that
the President should pass upon all
capital offenses committed by Am
erican soldiers that there might be
no possibility of a miscarriage of
justice. Accordingly, the condemn
ed men in France will have a re-
prieve until Mr.. Wilson rules wheth-
er the penalty shall be inflicted.
The two soldiers convicted of dis
obedience fatty refused when order
ed by their lieutenant to ''get their
equipment and turn out for drill,"I
according to General Pershing's re-
port. It is assumed here that the
refusal was in the face of warning
as to what the consequence would
be.
General Pershipg's powers are
different from those possessed by
commanding officers in the United
States. He has absolute authority,
without reference to this country,
to infict the death penalty for five
charges. Mutiny, murder, rape, de-
sertion and spying. In minor cases
involving the death penalty he may,
at his own discretion, send the pa
pers back to this country for re-
view, or direct the carrying out Of
execution. In this case he has elect
ed to have the cases reviewed here.
Only one member of the expedi-
tionary force has paid the death pen
atty, having been convicted of rape.

zt six o'clock.
She had only been i'll few days
and many of her numerous friends
In Chester had just learned of her
Illness when the end came. Mr.. Ed
Yards, who is a member of the avia-
sion corp, located near Memphis,
Tenn, arrived just few hours be-
GpRe her death.
Hrs. Edwards was a native at
Clarendon county and came to Ches.
Ter several years ago as welfare
worker both at the Wylie Mills and
the Springstein Mills, where she did
4 noble work. After leaving Chester
xAe went to Abbeville and on last
August she was married to Mr.. Ed
wards, who after a short honeymoon
entered the service of his country in
the aerial section after which Mrs.
Edwards returned to her work at
Abbeville. She was admirable and
made friends with all whom she
czme in contact with. She was a
Christian woman and in her work
sAe pointed many to Jesus Christ as
The light of the world" AS a citi-
zen she pointed them to the highest
characters and the loftiest ideals.
She warned them against mean am
hitions and selfish aims. AS an ideal
I'D she held before them the mysti-
eism of the religious life and illus
trated the merit of that life in her
sun living. AS a scholar she kept
Ae fame Of intellectual ambition
trimmed and oiled by persistent ap-
I6eation to study and the eternal
anchorage in Christianity. Her So
teriology was Pauline in compass:
spirit and soul and body"
~As the summer sun sinks peace
fully and gracefully to the setting
and there, as a queen in royal robes
SINKS to its evening couch, so she
sank to the sunset hour of death,
full-erbed and in unlocked splen-
dor: an example worthy of the imi-
tation of American womanhood-a
efdId of Coda disciple of Jesus
Christ"
Mrs. Edwards is survived by her
mother and eleven brothers and sis
tiers, her father having died little
more than a year ago. One brother
