Senator Martin Has No Comment.
After the Presidents message Sen
ator Martin declined to make any
comment whatever upon the Presi
dents annual mssage A simila
course was pursued by Seator Lodge
who is known to be piqued becaus
the President has not called into con-
sultation members OF the foreign re
1ations committee prior to his de
parture for the peace conference.
The fact that the constitution de
signates the senate as one-half Of
the nations treaty-making power
and IT must ratify any peace nego-
tiated by the President, has incurred
senate resentment that the Presi
dent has remained aloof from it's ad
vice a"d that no member Of the
90 Oh mber is to go to the peace
conference.
Democratic comment on the Pres
fdent's message was along the gen.
eral line that ii was an excellent
state paper. etc. AS rule the Dem
ocratic commentators made slight or
no reference to the failure OF the
President to detail his plans and
reasons for attending the peace con-
ference. Republican comment wa

publican talked for quotation he

to have been offered the post of sec

Mr.. Glass's reluctance to surrender
the seat in congress to which he has
just been reelected after IS years
of service was the only considera
tion holding up the appointment
Mr.. Glass himself would not talk
further than to say that he was not

Fort Mill, Dec. Sam Johnson
young negro living in the country
a few miles from Fort Mill, was ar
rested Saturday night, charged with
attempted assault on a young white
girl and hurried to the York county
jail by sheriff's deputies. 1t was
found on investigation that the ne
gro waylaid the girl as she was re-
turning from neighbor's house to
her home few miles from here and
felled her with blow. but she was
rot rendered unconscious and her
outcry frightened the negro who
made away. There was a good deal
of excitement in town when the affair

HE WAS REPORTED KILLED
RumOrS Were Persistent Here
in the Summer That He Had
Met Death in Action on
Field.

Captain Robert Craig. of Com

Robert E. McIlwaine, of this county.
and is living in this city so that her
children may attend school while
Captain Craig was away
Captain Craig says he did not
know when he was gassed. but he
said that often where there was un-
derbrush the gas would remain for
sometimes two weeks. One night he
was crawling out in mo Mans
Land" then covering space OF
some 600 or 500 yards and crawlea
through some underbrush where he
believes he got the gas He said
that when he left his outfit he con-
fidently expected to return in four
or five days. but he is yet unable to
return, though that happened some
four months ago. 1t has produced
a form OF bronchial asthma which il
giving him considerable trouble in
breathing
Captain Craig pays a high tribute
to his company and to all the Ameri-
can soldiers in Europe He says that
not man in mis- company has ever
given him the least OF trouble ano
that they have fought like men
never failing in the calls upon them
He thinks he will return to France
