Fine Opportunities for Young Women.
Columbia.-The University of South
Carolina will offer for the session Of
l91S-1919 unusual advantages to the
young women Of the state.
The number Of women taking the
various courses Of study at his in
stitution has been increasing steadily
every year. Last sessin the number
enrolled was Ga. Though the univer-
sity has been cocducational for less
than 25 years, it has graduated many
women Of prominence, who have held
influential positions in the state, es-
pec!ally in the educational world.
In view Of these facts the board OF
trustees decided In June to increase
the accommodations for women and
establish more courses Of study that
make an appeal especially to them.

on a front, broken by hills swamps
and forests, organized defensivey with
utmost skill and defended by the best
of the remaining German, reserves.
our First Army fought for a fun
month under conditions which peg
gar description. Day by day the ad-
vance was small. His. and ruined
villages were taken and retaken a
dozen times The losses were heavy
and the suffering extreme.
But in this time a great centr1ou-
ton was made. More than forty d1-
visions of the remaining German
strength were used and used up. A
full quarter of the naan-power remain
ing to the Germans was occupied. we
were holding the German While the
British far off in the west achieved
the decisive thrust
In all Of this time the American
purpose was patent. We had TO ad-
yane less than a score Of miles due
north to reach Sedan: Reaching Sc
dan. we should close the single road
way, outside Of Belgium, by which the
Germans could withdraw from the
western front. We Should cut the
great and vital trunk line from. Mat
beuge to Metz. Once this thing was
accomplished the German armies
would be broken in half and the frac-
ton in Belgium and Northern France
would be out of touch with that IN

be crushed in detail.
At the end of a monh of this fight
ing, recalling the agonies Of the Bat,
tie Of the Wilderness, but at once a
far greater struggle and on more
difficult field, when the Canadians
were entering valenctennes, the Ger
mans in front of Pershing suddenly
collapsed. Their line had saot: been
exactly broken through. it had been
worn through They could nc. longer
match division against division, The
hammering had exhausted their
strength and their esources.-Frank

Soldiers are Thrifty
Men Overseas Are Not Reckless
Spendthrifts-Great Sums
Sent Home.

Paris, Nov. "a Correspondence of
The Associated Press)-Not many
fortunes in American small change
are being spent by General Pershing's
fighting men for they are not at all
like the old style private in the days
when army pay was s13 month
This person, it will be recalled, lost
his entire months emoluments IN
fifteen minutes experimenting with
craps; whereupon he shrugged hls
shoulders, commenting phi1osoph1cai-
ly, con well, easy con1e-easy 60.
The new type of. Yankee enlisted
man isn't like that. He is a. saving
young man and he sends good snare
of his earnings home to help out ms
wife or any other partial dependents
that he may leave. In fact, ne senos
back as much money as he spends on
himself, if figures from Y. M. c. A.
finance reports may be taken as
criterion. And they ought to be con-
sidered fair Indication of the way
the pay goes.
In the first place, the private
makes an allotment Of half his base
pay by government order it he mas
anyone at home that needs It, AND II
he hasn't the government takes it and
saves it for him. With very few ex-
ceptions, he also is the holder OF a
government insurance policy, which
takes another bite out Of his earnings.
BY the time his allotment and his
insurance payments have been de-
ducted,' there isn't a. great deal LETT.
Yet from this little, he manages 10
save what in the aggregate amounts
to a vast sum.
In four of the five hrts from which
figures are available in one Y. NJ. c.
A. division, the soldiers sent more
money home than they spent on them
selves in buying canteen supplies dur
ing the month.
In the other hut, the amount OF
sales was only a small
percentage greater than the home re-
nittances handled by the Bed Tri-
angle. Taking the five huts as a
whole, the difference in favor Of the
remittances was over $4,000 francs
for the month. One Of the huts, the
one whose business in all depart
ments was.the biggest of the five, sent
to America almost three times as
much money as it received for sales.
All of which shows that the Yankee
soldier is as generous and thrifty as
he IS brave and capable.
Here are the figures in total. Mer-
chandise sales, 254,202 francs, re-
mittances, 377, ,46S francs.
In the entire division, the business
office handled 1,06S.249 francs of
which 562,67s francs represented can
teen. sales and 505,570 francs remit
tances to the United States, or ao-
nroximately half and half
