GERMANY MUST PAY

VENGEANCE. RETRiRuTioN,
BUT PREVENTION.
THE LAW PLAINLY LAID DOWN
lntImation Given That the Man, or
Men Who cauesd the War Must
Meet Merited Punishment.

London.-David Lloyd George, the
British prime minister, in a speech at
New Castle, said the victory OF the
entente allies had been due to the
ceaseiess valor Of their men and that

in the future thought that they, as the
Prussian war lords hoped, could over
look this little island in their reckon

I'VE are now approaching the peace
conference" the premier continued.
THE price Of victory is not vengeance
or retribution. 1t is prevention. First
Of all what about those people whom
we have received without question for
years to our shores; to whom we give
equal rights with our own sons and
daughters, and who abused that hos
pitality to betray the land.
The second question was the ques-
tion OF indemnities, the premier add
ed. In every court of justice through
out the world the party which lost has
had to bear the cost OF the litigation
When Germany defeated France she
established the principle.
"But must use one word of warn

indemnity by dumping cheap goods
upon us. That is the only limit In
principle we are laying down. She
must not be allowed to pay for her
wanton damage and devastation by
dumping cheap goods and wrecking
our industries.
There is a third and last point. Is
no one to be made responsible for
the war? Somebody has been respon-
sibie for a war that has taken the
lives Of millions Of the best young
men OF Europe. Is not anyone to be
made responsible for that? II not, all
can say is that IL that is the case.
there is one justice for the poor
wretched criminal and another for
kings and emperors."

London. - Discussing plans for
bringing to justice former Emperor

The paper adds that the argument

continues. "a felon caught in the act
would escape punishment because
there are other felons who have not

neither law nor common sense would
listen to such o plea.
Besides, 1t is proposed to punish
the kaiesr alone. There are others,
too, who will be placed on trial. but

The one argument against doing
what we can to bring this arch Grim

W|CkERsHAM POINTS TO LAW
ABSENCE FROM THE COUNTRY
MAKES AUTOMATIC VACANCY
IN PRESIDENTIAL OFFICE.
President Must Be on Hand to Give
Congress information and Advise
Il az to Necessary Legislation.

New York.-Geo. w. Wickersbam,
formerly attorney general. in an ad-
dress here before educators, law
yers, bankers, and merchants engaged
In international trade. who are mem.
bers Of the council on foreign rela-
tons, advanced the opinion that the
constitution makes II mandatory upon
Vice, President Marshall to assume
the Office OF President IL Mr.. Wilson
leaves the United States to attend the
peace conference.
The former attorney general quoted
section one of article two OF the
United States constitution. which, he
said. prescribed the mode of proceed
ure in event OF the Presidents "re-
moval from office, his death, resigna-
tion or inability to discharge the du.
ties OF said office" He maintained
that absence OF the President from
the seat OF government and the coun-
try constitutes an inability to dis
charge the powers and duties of his
office" within the meaning of the
law.
According to Mr.. Wickersham, the
most important functions the Presi.
dent has to perform in connection with
session OF Congress. at which time,
he held, "it is the Presidents duty to
be at the seat Of government" are:
First. from time to. time, to give
Congress information OF the state of
the Union and recommend to their
consideration such measures as he
shall Judge necessary and expedient;"
and. second, to consider bills which
shall have passed the house o: repre-
sentatives and the senate. and, If he
approve. to sign them, and, IL ne dis
approve, to veto them.""

TO VISIT LIVE STOCK SHOW
Many Will Take Advantage Of Tho

z. v. W.. Lewis states that he has
received letters daily inquiring about
the trip. and that already about 75
have said that they win go, so indi-
cations are for q good crowd and q
fine trip.
Among those asking for reservations
for the trip are q number Of pro-
gressive bankers and business men
who have seen beyond the walls Of
their offices and have caught vision
OF the live stock possibilities and
prospects In South Carolina, and who
realize that they must inform them
selves and be prepared to do busi.
ness on live stock basis as well as
on the time honored cotton basis.
It Is certainly a fine opportunity for
such men to study conditions in the
older stock raising sections. and to
realize at first hand that live stock
farming Is not only solid but a
profitable kind OF farming enterprise
for business men to encourage and
back up with their moral and finan.
cial support.
Mr.. Lewis will shortly mail letters
to those who have already written to

itely that they will or will not go.
Others who have not written to Mr.

THE SOLDIERS CHANCES

Great as the danger and large as the
losses in the aggregate, the Individual
soldier has plenty of chances Of coming
out of the war unscathed, or at least
not badly injured. r. :.!v: -, ~ -,
Based on the mortality statistics of
the, allied armies, "a soldiers chances
are as follows: >
Twenty-nine chances of coming home
to one chance of being killed.
Forty-nine chances of recovering from
wounds to one chance of dying from
them. -,
One chance in 500 of losing a limb.
Will live five years longer because Of
physical training, is freer from disease
in the Army than in civil life, and: has
better medical care at the front than at
home.
In other wars from 10 to Is men died
from disease to l from bullets; in this
war man dies from disease to every
10 from bullets.
For those of our fighting men who do
not escape scatheless, the Government
under the soldier and sailor insurance
law gives protection to the wounded
and their dependents and to the fam
lilies and dependents of those who make
the supreme sacrifice for their country.
