No Man Iiveth to Himself.
Progressive Farmer.)


The great war in which we are en-
gagged is shedding new light on near
ly every problem the world. has
known. There is hardly question
which men discussed before 1914-
from dog tax to questions of per-
sonal morals-which has not been
newly illumined by the terrible
struggle. The fundamental change
is an awakening to the fact that no
man liveth to himself; that every
man is responsible to his fellows for
the use he makes of his talents-his
physical strength, his wealth.
We realize now as never before
that every man who has weakened
his body by disease or dissipation has
weakened America and has thereby
weakened all the rest of us.
We realize now as never before
that every man who has wasted ma
terial things. who has made himself
poor by carelessness or extravaganza
has at the same time made the ma
tion poorer-has weakened America
and so has weakened all the rest of
US.
We realize now as never before
that every man who has failed to
contribute to the general wealth and
welfare. whether because of idleness
and shiftlessness, or ignorance, illit-
eracy, and lack of training-he, too,
has made America poorer, weaker,
less powerful, than she would have
been If he had played strong mans
part; and We are ali or us poorer
because of his idleness, shiftlessness
and lack Of skill and knowledge.
That is the new lesson that the war
is teaching us. 1t is teaching us that
human brotherhood is not mere
pnilanthropic or benevolent abstrac-
ton. but about the most tundar en-
tai OF all material facts.

Apparently the allied commanders
are content to hold on to their pres
ent line and to let the Germans
make more attacks In an endeavor
to drive them back. In their disas-
trous repulse the Germans not only
failed to gain, although using larger
forces than defenders. but they were
driven from some positions they had
held since the capture Of Mount
KENNEL last week.
Along tho Flanders front and in
ments continue. The Germans have
been throwing great numbers Of
shells into the French positions
around IIangard. south Of the Som

another attempt to drive the French
back to the Avre. A German attack
in tho Noyon esctor brought the enc

which, however, they were thrown
out in spirited fighting.

Is. c. BOYS IN FAREWELL PARADE
The Final Review Of the Palmetto
Lads Took Place Last Thursday.
(Greenville News, May 3.)


A crowd Of more than thousand
people watched the final review OF
the Sth Infantry, formerly the First
South Carolina Regiment, at Camp
Sewer yesterday afternoon. The reg
iment was not completely represent
ed, several OF the companies being
absent. but this did not detract from
the occasion and the rapt spectators
looked on in absorbed silence at the
columns OF stalwart Palmetto lads
who are in the best Of trim to meet
the Huns.
The parade was held on the regi-
mental parade grounds and every one
was afforded an excellent view. On
account of the lateness Of the an
nouncement of the procession, many
ut-of-town friends and relatives OF
the soldiers were unable to attend,
but many from nearby places man
aged to come over in time to witness
it. Col. p. X. McCully, commander
of the regiment, was unable to review
his men, but was represented by one
Of his majors.
Each company had it's full war
strength Of $50 men and made not
able appearance. Full equipment for
marching was carried and the swing
ing columns of burdened lads, the
most of whom one year ago were
clerks, farmers, business men, ETC.,
gave every onlooker a feeling Of
pride and an eager desire to do his
part in the great struggle.
Three battalions were on the field
and the fact that every man who
stood in these ranks Is soon to go
thousands of miles away from his
home and loved ones to battle for
democracy and future protection of
the country made every one hero.
The weather was beautiful and the
crowd thoroughly enjoyed the after
noon, yet did not enjoy 1t.

A number of Walhalla and Oconee

Congress, the War Department has
been pressing vigorously its efforts to
expedite the movement to France Of
men already under arms. Secretary
Baker appeared to-day before the
conference of shipping board officials
with ship owners and seamen's unions

He told the conference that the move

The record Of achievement during
the last few weeks is pointed to with
pride by War Department officials.
Military precautions forbid disclosure
OF the rate at which the army is be-
ing sent to the front, but Mr.. Baker

mittee tomorrow some interesting
figures in this regard.

be called to the colors this month un-
der the selective service act has been
raised to 250,000. Last month 15O,-
600 were modified. At this rate
half OF the 100000 which the Depart
ment. before the German drive was
launched, had planned to call during
the present year will have been called
out in two months time

In connection with the increase of
the army Il War Department is in
clined 10 eXl nd existing cantonments
