MUST SAVE MORE GASOLINE

While the results obtained through requesting
autoists not to use their cars Sunday are quite
satisfactory, the fuel administration makes 1t
plain that further conservation is necessary.
There is no desire to put the country on fuel
ration but it is necessary that all users discon-
tinue all wasteful uses of fuel oil, gasoline, ker
osene and all other oil products.
Motorists should not run their engines when
the car is not in motion. They should avoid
overfng tanks and see that no oil or gasoline
is spilled or allowed to leak. Carburetors should
be adjusted to operate on the thinnest mixture.
All unnecessary driving should be discouraged.
If sufficient gasoline and oil cannot be saved
from what is now wasted in the ways above sug-
gested. then such mandatory control as will as
quantities needed for the conduct of the
war will be inevitable.
Few Americans waste gasoline wantonly, but
many waste it unconscously. To impress them
with the need for conservation, gasoline cards
have been suggested and advces from Washing
ton indicate that such a program is being SER
iously considered.

CAPACITY WORK FOR DEHYDRATING
pFhNJTG
PLANTS

According to reports coming from California
the dehydfating or drying plants of the Golden
State are working to full capacity. The products
OF these plants are being placed on the grocery
counters CT the nation, showing that the distri-
buting machinery of the manufacturers is in
perfect working order. Housewives are beconl-
ing familiar with dry vegetables and when the
season approaches that fresh vegetables COM
rnence to disappear it is believed that the demand
viii improve rapidly, and before the period Of
scarcity Of fresh vegetables is over the capacity
of the dehydrating plants will be tested to the
limit.
The dry-vegetabe trade, as far as the nation is
concerned, is in the incipient stage, but it is now
firmly established in California, and there can be
no doubt that it will be even more firmly estab-
lished in other States where fresh vegetables
are less available. In the agricultural appropri-
alton bill S250,000 has been requested for deny
dration
Much interest in the process has been mani
tested in Florida aIII \ number of experiments
have indicated that it may become an important
industry in this state, adding to the food supply
of the country and increasing the fruit produc-
ton of the commonwealth
Women employed as machnists in the West

The workers have been drawn from depart-
ment stores, offices and elsewhere Even few
young women who have not toied previously are
taking up this work because it is classed as war
labor.

1t will be of interest to you to
know that the quota for this county
for the June campaign of the w. S.
S. was $4,000 and during that CAM
paign of the w. S. S. 3,946 whites
pledged S177,945. 90 and 9,690 col
oreds pledged $51,1OO.OO making a
total of 7,644 pledges aggregating
1929, ,O45.OO thereby exceeding our
quota by $9,045.00.
Now are you filling these pledges?
The total amount for the year to
date received for stamps by the post
Offices of the county aggregate only
$1O4,OO0 face value and allowing
for stamps purchased from postofiices
in adiourning counties indicates that
only about one half OF our pledges
have been redeemed. This is not a
very creditable evidence of loyalty
at home against that of the boys in
France. Only a month and half Of
1918 remains and the June pledges
not half paid. See to it that you fill
your pledge by December 1st.
During the first week in December
our people will be called upon TO COM
plete the years quota. The amount
that will be called for in December
will be 1888, ,OOO., That will make the
quota for this county for this year
$561, 600. In a few days cards will
be mailed to every subscriber of W.
S. S. asking if you have filled your
pledge and what additional amount
you will pledge. Each card viii have
return cald attached which You
are earnestly requested to fill out,
sign and return to the County Chair
man. 1t is hoped that every subscrlb-
er will purchase his ". S. S. before
he receives these cards that he may
so report it on the return card.
The kaiser told the Ambassador
General before America entered the
war that "he would take no foolish
ness from America after the war"
He kept his promise and ran away
carrying the crown prince and his
chief of staff with him. Fill your
pledges and let's catch 'em.

An Appeal For War Savings
Stamps.


To the People of Edgefeld County:
The cloud of militarism which for
the past 80 or 40 years menaced hu-
rope, began, little more than Your
years ago, to assume proportions
which indicated a worldwide nature.
So far reaching was it that 9 months
ago its shadow of gloom covered our
entire fair land; at times it would
grow darker, again the riffs would
show the silver lining until the 11th
hour of the 18th day of the II month
of 1918 the silver lining broke away
and the golden beams of Peace on
Earth forever dispelled the Prussian
Hohenzollern German militar;sm
from the nations Of the earth.
Directly we did not seem to be IN
danger but indirectly even our very
existence was threatened. In the sign
ing of the armistice we have numer-
Gus reasons for rejoicing and thanks
giving, and it is matter of far
greater Importance than many of our
citizens may think, but in the midst
of our elation we must not forget
that our country is still in state OF
war and will remain so for months
vet. Our once enemies of the Central
Alliance will have to be kept under
martial law until some stable or per-
manent peace terms may be negotlat-
ed and indemnities and reparation
for damages fixed and levied.
In all this 'our boys over there
will doubtless exert the greatest in
fuence when they will garrison forts,
nlunition factories etc. and do police
duties in all the important cities of
our enemies, for without their pres
ence the armistice with its terms
would be a mere scrap of paper.
Now to keep our army of two OF
more million in Europe means an
enormous expense. The only differ
ence between the cost for the months
they will yet remain over there and
the corresponding number of months
in the past to this date is the ammu,
milton and guns.
The men will have to be cared fol
in every way as in the past, for food
clothing, hospitals, Y. NJ. G. A etc.
and to do this our governmnt de-
pends upon the bonds you buy, your
donations to the United War Work
and on the pledges you made and are
expected to make for W. S. S. Youl
pledge for W. S. S. was most sol
emn obligation. It was made more
solemn and sacred by the fact tina
the government asked for no secu1
ity to guarantee the payment. Nov
the time has come to fulfill the prom
ise. Are you doing it? Let's see.

END OF TUNNEL
GETTING NEARER"
Lloyd George Appeals
to Countrymen to Put
Empires Might Into
Fight.

MEATH, Wales.-Preimer Lloyd
George, who came here to attend the
Welsh national Eisteddfodd, in re.
ceiving the freedom of Meath Friday
declared that "the end of the tunnel
thru which the allies have been trav-
cling for four years. was getting
nearer.
Mr.. Lloyd George made no apology
to any man, he said, for any part he
had played during the war.
And | propose to fight on to the
end" he said.
Some people had complained, con-
tinued the premier, that he was too
optimistic in the view he took of
things.
II don't think I am" he insisted.
Il was not one of those who thought
1t would soon be over-never. I
thought it long job and terrible
job, but have always been confident
we would get thru, for I knew we
were fighting for the right and that
the God of righteousness would see
us thru"
The premier appealed to his coun-
trymen to put all the might of the
empire into the fight, and he con-
tinued, 1--WE will be thru the tunnel
into the broad daylight of Gods sun
again, in a land of peace, real peace,
without apprehension of sinister, dark
plotting forces to renew the slaughter
No, never again!
That is why l am appealing to my
NOW we have conf
dence. Wehave good news.

morning at dawn.
IF anybody had told Ludendorff
on March 22 that in the month of
august he would be trying to get his
guns away from the advancing
French and British armies-well. l
don't know German and therefore
cannot tell what his answer would
be, but | believe it would be in very
strong language indeed"

up their quotas earlier than the
cities. Secretary McAdoo pronounced
this loan the soundest of national
financing.
A little over a year ago there was
some 100000 United States bond
holders; there are now somewhere
between 100000 and 25,0O0,0O0.
Awakened patriotism has made the
American people saving people,
bond-buying people. The effect of
the liberty loans on the national
character, on our national life, on
the individual citizen and our home
life is immeasurable-of incalculable
benefit. Not less incalculable is their
effect on the destiny of the world as
our ships pillow the seas and our men
and material in Europe beat back
the Hun.
The fourth liberty loan campaign
will begin saturday, September 20,
and close October 10. No American
doubts it's success; no good Ameri-
can will fail to contribute to it's
success. The blood of our men fallen
in Europe calls to us; our answer
must be and will be worthy of them
and our country.

ESCAPED BRITISH PRISONERS
DESCRIBE GERMAN CRUELTIEs

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
ON THE VESLE-Worn out from
fatigue and suffering from hunger,
two escaped British prisoners stag
gered into the American line north
OF the Vesle Tuesday. They had es-
capped from German pen after hav-
ing been captured in the Marine fight
ing, and it took them seven days and
nights to work their way to Fismette.
On the last lap of the journey the
Britishees ran thru a German mar
rage. They said that the ration
given prisoners as three quarters of
a pound of potato bread, a pint of
thin vegetable soup and coffee"
made of hawthorn berries. The al
lowance of German soldier was the
same only in somewhat greater GUAM
tity, occasionally supplemented by
horse meat.
1t is common practice of the
Germans, the escaped men added, to
beat their prisoners with cubs and
the butts of rifles. Wounded pris
oners, they said, were sent to hospti-
tails only when they were unable to
walk, and then received little atten-
lion.

In a letter to DR.. Franklin Martin,
chairman of the general medical
board of the council of national de-
Tense, made public Tuesday, ex-
pressed his appreciation of the SER
vice being rendered the nation at this
time by the medical profession. The
president in his letter approves the
establishment Of volunteer medical
service corps to include all physicians
who because of age, physical disabil-
ity, dependents and essential home
needs are ineligible for the medical
corps of the army or navy.
In reference to the establishment
OF the corps, the president wrote:
Il am very happy to give my ap-
prevail to the plans which you have
both because of the sue
fulness of the volunteer medical ser.
vice corps and because it gives me
an opportunity to express to you and
thru you to the medical profession
my deep appreciation of the splendid
service which the whole profession
has rendered to the nation with
great enthusiasm from the beginning

OFFICER TELLS
HOW MARINES
STOPPED HUNS
Eye Witness Detils En-
trance of u. S. Troops
Into Fighting in June,
Which Brought Ger
man Advance to a
Standstill.

WASHINGTON, D. Can eve
witness story of the fighting near
Chateau Thierry in which American
divisions, including the marine bri-
gade, took part early in June, was
made public Saturday by the navy
department. 1t is in the form of a
letter from an officer of the marines
to Maj. Gen. Barnett, commandant of
the corps. The name of the writer
is not disclosed.
The Americans were rushed to the
line in motor trucks to support the
hard pressed French, and on June
10 the marine brigade deployed on
a support position, the battalion CON-
manded by Maj. Thomas Holcomb
hurrying into the line as the men
climbed out of the trucks. The Ger
mans were coming on and on June
2 the French dropped back, passing
thru the American lines.
Had Front Seat
I'VE had installed ourselves in a
house in La Vote Chattel, little vii
lage between Champion and Lucy
LIE Docage," the letter says. From
north and when the Germans at
tackled at 5 p. m. we had box seat.
"They were driving at hill 1875
from the north and northeast, and
they came out on wonderfully clear
day in two columns advancing in
perfect order until two-thirds of the
columns, we judged, were in view.
"The rifle and machone gun fire
were incessant and overhead shrap-
mel was bursting. Then the shrap-
mel came on the target at each shot.
Then the patches would roll away
and we could see that some of the
columns were still there, slowed up.
1t seemed perfect suicide for them to
try. You couldn't begrudge tribute
to their pluck, at that.
Huns Brought to Standstill
Then under that deadly fire and
a barrage of rifle and machine gun
fire, the Boche stopped. It was too
much for any man. They burrowed
in or broke to the cover of the woods
and you could follow them by the
ripples of the green-white as they
raced for cover"
The writer says the rifle fire of the
marines amazed the French who saw
it.
THAT men should fire deliberately
and use their sights and adjust their
range" he says, was beyond their
experience 1t must have had tell
ing effect on the morale of the boche,
for 1t was something they had not
counted on. AS a matter Of fact,
after pushing back the weakened
French and then running up against
a stonewall defense, they were liter
ally up in the air., and more than
stopped. We found that out later
from prisoners, for the Germans
never knew we were in the front line
when they made the attack. They
were absolutely mystified at the man
ner in which the defense stiffened up
until they found that our troops were
in line"
