officials and others in the financial
district interested in the express COM

with the merger. It had been hoped
by officials Of some Of the companies
that they would be taken over by the
government on a basis similar to that
OF the railroads, but. Falling this, the
merger plan is considered satisfactory.
The hope was expressed by nearly all
that the arrangement whereby the
government becomes in a sense part

$4,000 Prisoners. 600 Guns.

August 1.-THE Germans have
materially stiffened their defense
against the British, American and
French troops on the Picardy front,
but they have been unable to stem
the tide of advance against them.
Unofficial estimates place the cap
lures by the allies at $4,000 prison
ers, including 1000 officers and 800
guns.
Although the forward push of the
allies has been slowed down some
what, nevertheless they have made
further important progress from the
north of the Somme, where the
Americans and British are fighting
together, to the northern bank of the
Disc river, where the French troops
are engaging the enemy.
The Americans and their British
brothers in arms at last accounts
were pressing closely upon Bray-Sur-
Somme, aided by tanks and armored
cars, which indicated heavy casual
ties on the enemy as he advanced to
retard their progress.
Across the river the Germans
heavily engaged the British at Lihons
and its vicinity and at one point
pierced the British line and gained
the outskirts of Lihons. A counter
attack, however, entirely restored the
British line and the enemy retired
to positions east and north of the
village. Unofficial reports from Lon
don have credited the British with
entering Chaulnes and the British
cavalry with a penetration of the enc
my's territory almost to Nesles.
These reports, however, have received
no official verification.

LOCATES DEAD BODY IN YARD.
Finds Remains of Boy Thought to
Have Been Beaten to Death.

St. George, Aug. 10.-One of the
worst crimes ever committed in Dor
chester county was discovered by
Sheriff Limehouse this week at
knightsville, in the lower end OF the
county, when he received word that
a 15-year-old negro boy had been
missing for about two years and went
to the home of Matilda Williams and
forced her to show him the grave of
the dead boy. 1t seems that about
two years ago the negro boys father
and mother beat him to death and
fearing trouble buried him in the
corner of the yard. The mother
claimed that the father of the boy
was the one who committed the crime
but is said to have confessed that she
aided him in the work. Several days
ago the father hearing that the sher-
iff had got word OF the affair ran
away, but the sheriff succeeded in
getting the mother and she is now in
the county Jail. Every effort is being
made to capture the father, whose
name is Lucius Williams.

CANNOT VOLUNTEER NOW
SUSPENDED PEND
ING NEW DRAFT ACT.
To Preserve Industry-Orders Issued
BY Secretaries Daniels and Baker
Already in Effect.

Washington, Aug. S.-Voluntary
enlistment in the army and navy
were completely suspended today to
prevent disruption of industry pend
ing disposition of the bill proposing
to extend the draft ages to include
forty-five years. Orders were issued
by Secretaries Baker and Daniels di-
recting that no voluntary enlistments
be accepted after today until further
orders.
The orders were issued after a
conference between Secretary Baker
and Secretary Daniels and were made
public after President Wilson had
visited the offices of both Secretaries
late in the day. 1t is not known
whether the visit had to do with the
enlistment situation, but just before
he conferred with the Cabinet Off
GERS there was no indication that a
step of such drastic nature was con-
templated.
Older Men indispensable.
It was explained that the view of
the government is that many of the
older men are indispensable in their
present occupations, but the natural
result of the debate on the draft
question is certain to lead to a rush
to the recruiting offices. 1t is regard
ed as essential that men greatly need
ed at home should be prevented from
rushing into the army under a mis-
taken idea that they are certain to
be drafted. anyhow and prefer to join
the service voluntarily.
1t was quite evident that plans for
applying the new draft age limita-
tions to the older men include a very
careful classification of each indi-
vidual to determine his position at.
home and probably far more liberal
construction of industrial exemption
rules that has been the case.
Bakers Statement.
The war departments action was
announced in the following state
ment issued by Secretary Baker:
"The war department today has
suspended further volunteering and
the receipt of candidates for officers
training camps from civil life. This
suspension will remain in force until
the legislation now pending before
Congress with regard to draft ages is
disposed of, and suitable regulations
drawn up to cover the operation of
the selective system under the new
law.
"This action is taken in order to
prevent the disruption of the indus
try of the country and the impair
ment of the efficiency of the various
governmental agencies which would
follow the indiscriminate enlistment
of men up to the age of As.
''It is the intention of the depart
ment to present to the President for
promulgation regulations in connec-
tion with the operation of the select
i've system, which will make it truly
selective, and leave it to the govern
ment to determine whether men can
be spared from their present occupa-
tion for military service"

BLEASE REFUSES TO HEAR.
Leaves Meeting When Senator Buck
Begins Attack.

Conway, Aug. S.-Cole L. Blease,
candidate for the United States SEN
ate. completely capitulated and low
cred his colors here today before the
veritable cannonade of H. L. Buck,
State Senator from Horny county.
Blease's Sedan came at the cOnclus-
ion of a private meeting held in the
court house this afternoon when the
senatorial candidate had finished his
discourse, Senator Buck announced
to the audience that he had few
words in reply to Blease, who i'm
mediately started pushing his way
through the audience out of the
building.
Don't go, Governor, take seat
requested Senator Buck, who is a
man of small physique.
'I haven't the time,' replied
Blease.
ooh, don't be afraid; this is not
Pollock and jennings retorted the
Horny Solon.
"I'll attend to you sir, on August
27," replied Blease as he neared the
door, followed by John G.. Richards,
Reform" candidate for governor.
"Of course you will run, for you
are a coward" shot back Senator
Buck, who had mounted the table.
The Ex-Governor and his escort
passed out of the building, followed
by many of their supporters.
Senator Buck amidst cheers charg-
ed Blease with being disloyal, "a
traitor" and "a coward"
'tHe talks about leading a regi-
ment against the Germans" said the
speaker. "He could not lead any,
thing but a retreat. What kind of a
soldier would he be when he lets a
small man like me run him? He's
'feather-legged.'
Senator Buck looked up Blease's
Pomaria speech and scored the utter
ances quoted therein. He challenged
Blease to make the same speech now.
when the Espionage Act is in force.
He said that when Blease made his
disloyal speeches he knew, being a
lawyer, that he could start treason.
"He cared only for the law and not
his country" said the speaker.
Senator Bucks utterances> were
greeted by ringing cheers from his
several hundred auditors. The crowd
which heard Blease numbered about
400 persons and was about equally
divided in political sentiment. The
Ex-Governor made calm speech, dis
cussing what he termed the issue of
the campaign. He told of his various
purchases of liberty bonds, war saw
ings stamps and the giving of a plot
of land and house at Camp Jackson
to prove his loyalty.

Major Mahon Writes They Will Give
Good Account of Themselves.

Greenville, Aug. 1O.-Maj. G. Hey
ward Mahon, Jr., of the One Hundred
and Eighteenth Infantry-the old
First South Carolina National Guard
is back with his command at their
post of duty in France, after gradual
ing with high honors at a, school for
line officers. The information has
been received by Major Mahon's fami-

Major Mahon wrote that he stood
third in the whole class of officers.
The school was the highest school
for line officers in the service, and
several divisions were represented.
Major Mahon's letter gives some
interesting comments upon the South
Carolina troops in France. Don't
worry one bit about the South Caro-
lima troops" he says, "they will keep
old South Carolina's name and fame
where it has always stood in all wars
since it became a State-second to
none. We have the finest bunch of
men in the allied army today, and
people higher up have said the same
thing. When the time comes to go
over the top-well, the kaiser has a

Cod but when our boys start their
move across No Mans Land, the
kaiser's army will go Backward with
out God,' and go quickly"
