Paris, July 18.-Seven south Ger

American successes in counter at
tacks, demand that the German high
officers pub blish the facts concerning
"The American peril" as it is evident
that they now hold the people in ig-

majority of the principal German
papers continue to ignore the exist

The Hague. July 19.-In outspoken
comment on the growth of American
strength in France. the Socialist Ar,

feat of organization as amazing as the

LAWFUL TO KILL BUZZARDs
Attention Called to Act Approved
Feb. ID, 1918, by Gov.
Manning ~!

The legal immunity which for yeara
has protected the sacred person of the
buzzard from harm at the hands of
man in South Carolina has been viii:
drawn; and buzzards that hover in the
vicinity of Market street or elsewhere
in the Palmetto State do so at their
own risk, according to an amendment
20 section I34 of the criminal code.
which reads in Fart as follows:
mo person living within the State
shall kill, catch, or have in his or
their possession, living or dead, any
resident or migratory wild bird other
than a game bird or bdzzard, or pur-
chase offer Or expose for sale any
such wild non-game bird after It has
been caught or killed, except as per,s
mitted by section 1856, 1856 or 1877
This amendment was passed at tie
last session of the State legislature
end was approved by the Governor
February Ia. as the publication of the
acts, just issued, shows. For several
years an agitation has been afoot to-
have such Legislation passed, as it ap-
pears that hog cholera and perhaps
other animal diseases may be COM
municated through the discredited
scavenger.
Just how many buzzards have been
killed as result of the decree against
them has not been ascertained; but as
yet there appears to be no shortage oL

USE OF AlRPlANES IN
BATTLE IS EXTENDING

The uses of the airplane as an aux
iliary to infantry in action are being
continually extended. 1t is the opin-
ion of military leaders here that the
need for more and more machines and
trained men is shown by the success
of the low-flying airplanes in operat-
ing against the Germans during the
past two months.
On the western front, this spring
two factors-German recklessness of
life and the success of the Allies in
holding back the German airmen-
gave the opportunity of developing
on large scale this method of har-
RAISING attack.
The success of the 1ow-flying air.
planes is Of two kinds-the slaughter
they inflict, and secondly, the disor-
ganization they cause. This second
factor is of more Importance than
most people realize. An unexpected
troublesome. Men wonder what has
happened. Suddenly bombs begin to
fall, men are killed, horses stampede,
wagons are smashed, and that road
blocked. Until the Allied airplanes
are seen, the terror is mysterious
When they are seen, with the irresist-
ible implication that the German
planes have failed to drive them off,
the psychological effect is very Sc
we're.
The work of the British airmen re
ceived a reluctant tribute in a recent
issue of the Berlin Vorwaerts, which
was captured in a raid on the German
trenches. The German newspapers, in
an article full of apparently sincere
admiration for British flyers, said ::
"Never before have the English
thrown their airmen in such great
masses behind our front as they are
doing in their present retreat"
But the higher command of the
British air force is by no means sat-
isfled A high officia1 pointed out to
the Associated Press correspondent
in discussing this phase of air work,
that "never before was the need of the
air torce for trained men ar finished
material so urgent as It is today" He
added: "It has been said loosely that
the Allies are masters of the air and
have achieved supremacy in flying.
But the aerial situation :a 200 fluid to
justify such words. AS a cold fact,
complete mastery of the air could on
ly come if there were no German ma
chine able to take the air.
"Supcriority is another matter, and
it is true that at the moment this may
be claimed by the Allies. For example,
the British record Of bombs dropped in
April shows IL to 1 against the Ger
mans. The present superiority can be
maintained and must be maintained
not only on general grounds, but par
ticularly for the development of the
new tactics of the low-fIying airplane.
. What is needed is more machines
and more trained men, and it is the
neople, the men and women of the AL
lied countries, who in the last analy-
sis must give or withhold effective
superiority in the. air"

ALL PHYSICIANS n

Government Working Out plan tS
Make Their Services s. s

Warrington, July 19.-The governas
ment is about to assume control of theJ
entire me iical profession in the Uni
ted States to obtain sufficient doe
tors tor the fast growing army. and
at the same time to distribute those
remaining to the localities where thew
are most needed for civilian work.
This mobilization is to oe accom-
plshed either by enrolling all doctors,
IN a volunteer service corps under
pledge to accept whatever service.
military or civilian is assigned then,
by the governing body of the CORPS. or
II the voluntary plan is not successful.
by extending the privilege for draft
ing them into the government gerry

ment believe compulsory CONSUMPTION

Organization plans for the yolun-
,ueer medical service corps already
nave been made an enrolment started

the Council of National Defense. In

Under this projected plan, the army
and navy would take those physicians
and surgeons best fitted for active
duty, and who can be spared from civ
iiian requirements. At the same time.
the government would maintain a con.
tinuous survey of the country, and a.
sign doctors to those communities in
"hlch there are too few practitioners
:. The practical operation, officials be.
heve, would cause little of this re.lo-
cation, however, since physicians who
