Not in years has the crop prospect
along the Southern railroad from
Yorkville to Blacksburg been better
at this season. The cotton looks good
and so does the corn.

Just how tho military authorities
could have made such a mistake, has

that Sheriff Quinn arrested last Sat-

is the way that the Camp Jackson
authorities reported them to the To-
cal board here when the board made
inquiry at the instance Of Sheriff
Quinn. But the sheriff was not will
ling to take an official report as final
so long as he had such definite and
positive information that the facts
were otherwise.
The death Of Herbert L. Wright
"Dan." as he was familiarly known to
his hundreds and hundreds Of friends,
came as a profound shock to all who
knew him. Mr.. Wright was a young
man of simple tastes, clean habits,
friendly social disposition, and stood
high in the estimation Of everybody.
So far as his friends knew, he was In
the full enjoyment Of perfect health
and the suddenness Of his demise, OF
course. added to a shock which, un-
der any circumstances. would have
fallen heavily upon the community in
which he lived.

Major General Hunter Liggett,
commanding the first American army
corps, is in active charge of that
corps on the center Of the Allied drive
in the Aisne- Marine salient, General
March. chief of staff. told newspaper
correspondents on last Saturday at
the semi-weekly conference at the war
department. The American divisions
forming this corps are serving con-
tiguously on this sector. the control OF
which Is In the hands OF Major Gen
eral Liggett. as commander OF the first
major American unit to get into action
in France. General Pershing, as a
result Of recent transfers OF American
divisions which had been brigaded
with the British, now has 1,000,00
men under his direct command, the
chief Of staff stated. Total embark
alton Of American troops during July
broke all records, It was announced,
more than 100000 men having been
shipped. The grand total embarked
to the end OF July has pasesd the L.
100000 mark. The previous high
monthly record was for June when
26I 900 men were sent overseas.
Senators OF the military committee
who asked General March, chief Of
stHf. last Saturday, II he had any
estimates Of the American casualties
In the recent fighting were told that
tho government had absolutely none.
General March told the senator's. and
also the Washington correspondents.
In response to questions, substantially
what Secretary Baker said in his
statement Friday night. that General
Pershing was under difficulties of
gathering the names from many hos
pitfalls. some Of them French and
British. over a wide area and that Il
had as yet been physically impossible
to gather the list. One Of the sena-
tors asked what the extent OF casu-
alties already reported to the war de-
partment was and General March re.
piled that 1t was between 10000 and
1900. This is the sum total Of all
announced to date by the
war department. II is the total az
given in the departments weekly
summary. This statement was made
the vehicle Of sensational reports sent
out from Washington to the effect that
General Pershing had reported to
General March that he estimated at
10000 the American casualties In the
recent fighting. Senators who attend
ed the conference. and war department
officials generally denounced the pub
Usher and report as misleading in ey-
cry way. It was reiterated officially,
and stated specifically by General
March, that General Pershing had
made no estimate.

The American and japanese gov.

The American and japanese gov
crnmcnts here have formally announc-
I'd the plans for extending military
aid to Russia and Siberia would be un-
dertaken by the United States and ia
pan alone. with the other Allied CO.
hrllgcrents asserting in principle. The
United States and japan will each send
a few thousand men" to Faldicostok
to act as a common force in occupying
and safeguarding the city and protect
ing the rear Of the westward moving
Czecho -Slovak army. The numbers OF
American troops from where they will
go and when. may not be discussed.
While the United States and Japan are
extending aid TO the Czecho- Slovak
army in Siberia the United States will
continue to CO. operate with the Allies
operating from Murmansk and Arch
angel. To what extent and in what
nature is not announced. The only
objects of the Japanese American
force will be to give such aid and pro-
lection as is possible to the Czecho-
Slovak forces against the armed body
Of German and Austrian prisoners and
To steady any efforts at self government
and self defense In which the Russians
themselves may be willing to accept
assistance. Later the United States
will send a commission Of merchants.
agricultural experts. labor advisers.
Red Cross representatives and agents OF
the Young Mems Christian association.
to organize some wav to meet the &C.
onomic necessities Of the stricken Rus
sian people. Both the United States
and Japan, in the official announce
ments. make the most specific pledges
of the action agreed upon being wholly
without thought Of interference with
the sovereignty Of Russia or any inter
ference whatever in her internal af
fairs. The Japanese government at
the same time pledges itself that when
the objects Of mission are accomplish
cd il will withdraw every Japanse and
leave the sovereignty Of Russia unim-
paired in all its phases. This agree
mcnt TO which all the Allies assent, Is
largely the result Of the personal ef-
forts Of President Wilson, who has
been at work almost increasingly for
weeks to bring the nation together In
the most effective plan which at the
same time will convince the Russian
people that the aims will be purely to
help them to preserve and develop
their new found democracy.
