Decisive Battles
In Worlds History

The Italian victory and its ad.
vantage will tell strongly in the
progress of the war, but the decisive
battle in its effect on the worlds
future, the battle that generations
to come will point to as having
made the world safe for democracy,
is yet to be fought, and it will be
fought in France.
Furthermore, it will be fought
with large number of Americans
participating, and the glory of its
achievement will in great measure
rebound to the valor of American
arms.
1t will be when the allied armies
have sufficient preponderance Of
manpOwer to take the offensive
against the invading Teutons and
force them off of French soil, that
the decisive battle of the war will
be fought. The war may last long
er, just as the civil war in this
country lasted a long time after
Gettysburg, but it will determine
the result and will be marked as
the battle on which the issue turned
and in which the effort to subject
the world to military despotism went
down before the armies Of popular
rule.
France has been in the past the
scene of at least two of the most de-
ci.ive battles of the world and just
across its lines in Belgium, within
the area Of the present war zone,
was another. Challons-sur.Marne
was one of the most decisive bat
ties of all times, There in the year
451 Aetus the Roman and Theodi-
ric the Visgoth put a stop to the
conquest of Attilla the Hun, the
scourage of God" and saved Europe
from the subjugation Of Asiatic
hordes.

looking at them that the fertilizer

Dies After Is Months
In a State of Coma

CHARLESTON, S. c., Oct. 15.-Miss
Lucy Berry, of Latta, S. c., died Satur-
day at the Roper hospital here, after
having been continuously in a state of
coma for upward of Is months.
Her case for months greatly puzzled
local physicians, who were inclined to
the belief that she was the victim of a
most unusual form of hysteria. Month
after month she lay on a bed at the
hospital, never uttering more than a
word or so at a time and often going
for several weeks without articulating
at all. Physically Miss Berry, who was
thirty-nine years of age, appeared sound.
Before bringing her for treatment. to
Charleston, the hospital authorities say,
the family, in belief that she had been
hypnotiSed, tried experts from various
schools of hypnotism, but none of them
were able to arouse her. Members Of
her family from time to time came here
to see her, but she recognized none of
them. In fact, usually she was sleeping
soundly throughout the interval of their
visit.

The inspection was made by Albert
