no ground for exemption. No obliga-

it comes, the Reserve merely presents
the opportunity, trusting to the judg.
ment and patriotism of it's members
to lead them to accept, if they should
accept in view of all the circumstances
and Of their country's need.

COUNCIL OF DEFENSE.
Committee on Patriotic Mass Meetings
Plans for Series of Meetings.

1t is no bad idea of the Sumter
County Council of Defense to bring
the people OF every township, and
the people of the city and the country
together in combination patriotic mass
meetings and entertainments at which
refreshments will be served. musical
and vocal numbers rendered, and
practical as well as patriotic speech
es delivered.
Men. women, boys and girls all love
the social feature of life. Every one
Is. or should be interested in the or
ganization of school districts, town
ships. and counties in helping to win
the war. Hundreds of people will
gather to enjoy an entertainment of
varied and interesting program,
and to meet each other. have a good
time. and at the same time pay q
small sum for entertainment and re-
freshments. while listening to one or
two short talks on the needs of the
government, where comparatively
few will gather to listen to business
or patriotic talks.
The County Council of Defense
plans to hold combination meetings
and entertainments at such centers of
commerce and education as Concord,
Graham. Shiloh. DuBose, Salem. Lone
Oak, Mayesville. Oswego, Dalzell,

and other rural schools yet to be Sc.

bring financial benefit to any local or.
sanization selected by the good peo.
pie Of the districts. such as the loca'
Red Cross. Home Demonstration club
local school society for school equip.
ment. libraries, church or charitable
purposes. etc.
Doubtless hundreds of Sumter cit,
men and women will gladly moto,
out during the balmy spring nights te
join with their country friends in
pleasant social intercourse, and pa
triotic affiliation. Any community ii
this county Is at liberty to arrang.
such an entertainment to suit its owl

FLEW AT HALF-STAFF.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN

Switzerland and from the battle line
TO the sea the American expeditionary
forces today paved homage TO their
dead Wherever American flags are
flying they are at half staff and be-
fore the day is over. the Star Span
gled Banner and flowers will be placed
on Virtually every American grave.
At one place in the vicinity of Lune-
vile the graves had been decorated ia
the morning darkness when the enemy
could not see clearly. for the soldiers
performing this duty might have
drawn the German fire as did the bur-
ial party Here both the British and
French flags were placed on the mounds
With punches of Wild flowers-great
blood red pgppies and yellow and white
daisies. Another early ceremony took
place at one, of the largest of the base
hospitals where the nurses and some of
the less seriously wounded men covered
every mound with a flag and crowned
each with wreaths. The last resting
places of American women who have
died in the aervice of their country as
nurses wer6 6fionored equally with those

them. participated in services in honor
of the dead
On the hAlside between Nancy and
Luneville where the first Americans
killed in the war are buried in little
enclosed 4pIot in the Franco-American
cemetery. the ceremony was also helG
at an early hour Here the graves
Were literally smothered under the
heaps OF flowers and wreaths brought
by the French population.
From the air, men from the American
flying forces swooped down and scat

Major Lufberry and other American
heroes of the air lie buried.

RESERVES TAKING UP
POSITIONS IN BATTLE LINE.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE, May 30.-(Associated Press,
Allied reserves now are taking up
position in the battle line. They are
being thrown in to strengthen de-
Tending forces where they are weakest
in preparation for the placing of
barrier to a further German advance
After a period of almost unpre-
cedented quiet the American sector
northwest of Toul suddenly has be-
come very active.
Last night and today the Germans
threw over hundreds ofAshells OF all
sizes and kept up a destructive and
harrassfng FIRE The American guns
have been just as busy and are Civ
ing the enemy more than he sends.
The artillery duel continues strong to-
night IL is not improbable that the
Germans have some plans in which
they may employ their infantry
German airplanes also were very
active today, but as a strong wind
was blowing from Germany and Amer
lean aviators were constantly on the
alert, few enemy machines ventured
across the lines. Those that did were
promptly driven back by the Ameri-
can fiers.
There were several aerial battles,
but so far there have been no reports
of enemy machines having been
brought down.
