We published a statement from the
Greenwood Journal which it took
from the Greenville Piedmont in re-
gard to the missionaries of Con-
gressman Lever and stated editorial
lv that we failed to see the matter
referred to in the Piedmont
Since then We have seen the corr
ments of the Piedmont itself. After
stating the questions the Piedmont
says:
This is frank and to the point.
Mr.. Lever has not asked for the
advice of the press, but he is wei
come to the opinion of the Piedmont
concerning this matter.
1t is possible for Mr.. Tillman to ne
elected. All things are possible. But
his announcement is by no means
equivalent to election.
The second question cannot be ar
swered by any man except the cor
gressman himself If Congressman
Lever is mans man, inspired by
high sense Of duty to America, ard
resolves to serve America at what
ever cost to himself and his friends,
then it is his obvious duty to get into
this race and accept from South
Carolina a seat in the senate If he
is not mans man--if. in short, he
considers strong desire not to an
tagonize the desires of Senator Till
man" thing Of greater Importance
than the opportunity to serve the na-
ton, then it is not his duty to offer
for the senate, for South Carolina
needs in the senate a man of large
calibre.
The third question is easily az
swered There is no other in South
Carolina. representing President

have no effect upon the morale Of the
French people.
Men, Ships and Guns
Men, ships and artillery, in the CT
der named, the general is said to have
stated, are principal military needs OF
the allies from America.
While declaring that General Per-
shing's men are in fine condition and
we'll equipped, he deplored the fact
that they are without American artii-
lery or airplanes.
Training of the American forces,
the general said, has been rapidly ac-
complished and supplies are plenti-
full.
In urging the necessity for more
ships, General Wood criticised pres
ent shipping arrangements and said
he had suggested to the war depart
ment that fast and slow ships be seq
~egated in the conveys, so that fast
hips will not be held back by the
lower vessels.
The breakdown of Russia has great
" improved the morale of the German
army. and the German people, General
Wood said. He added that America
should pay more attention to the Ita!-
ian situation and suggested that Amer
leans of Italian origin be sent to
Italy to combat the German propa-
ganda. which has been active in that
country.
Associated Press dispatches from!
the American front telling of the free
dom with which German airplanes
flew over the American airplanes with
which to combat them were confirm
ed by General Wood The French fly
ers on both sides of the American
sector have been protecting the Amer
lean front against enemy airmen, the
general said. but at times they are
too busy elsewhere to afford adequate
protection with the result that the
German airplanes have absolute free
dom. At times, he said, the Germans
flew so low that the Americans werA
able to fire at them with revolvers.
Goes Into Details.
General Wood fully discussed the
situation from the time that he lett
this country up to his return said
Chairman Chamberlain in statement
after the conference. "He discussed
ships. man power of both France and
Great Britain and the necessity for
activity in America in getting men
to the front He realizes that mora
ships are absolutely essential to sue
cess not only for the purpose of TAX
ing over men but in transporting sup
plies to the allies.
The general had some criticism to
make" said Chairman Chamberlain.
He felt that the American industrial
program should be pushed and not
slackened in the least. He thought
also taatmore raw materials might BE
sent abroad TO be manufactured IN
France and that. I understand is the
policy of the war department. to liz
crease shipment Of raw articles for
French manufacture.
Strengthening Of the army general
staff also was urged by General Wood.
So many former experts on the serA
eral staff. he said, have asked and
been given work in France that while
General Pershing has splendid staff.
that in the war department has bees
depleted and should be built up for
advisory purposes.

To the Fdito~s o: South arolina:
You VIII nola enclosed the We
Savings Stamp cut Please run this
cut in every issre of vour paper il
some prominent place. We would
like to see the cnt placed On yonr
ea:+o~'~' -ooc ~~'--" r'oro'inians are
expected this year to purchase thirty
two million dollars worth OF war saw
ings stamps and every means must
be used in getting this message to the
people There is no more effNtive
means than the newspapers the
state. We certainly appreciate your
kind cooperation in the past.
II you cannot use the cut please
return same to this Office.
Yours faithfully,
Of course We want to do all we
cen to help the government, and to
help the country to win the war, and
to help our boys who ale over there,
and those who are yet to go over.
And we will run the cut, as We have
been running a lot of other stuff that
is sent US from the different depart
ments, but We confess to little weak
ness which makes us-welI, not fee!
just like we should. when We get
these letters which somehow impress
us that the fellow who is sending
them out assumes sort Of command
ing air, and directs how we shall use
them, and where we shall play them
up. We can't help but wonder if he
writes to the merchant to shell out
his dry goods and MS groceries, and
to the banker to she'll out his cash
from his vaults, in the same way that
we shall shell out our space, the only
thing we have to sell. And if We
don't use the cut we are directed tc
send it back to his Office The gov
ernment hauls it to us for nothing,
bat the government will not haul it
from US to him unless we prepay the
postage
But in these times the plodding
masses must overlook a great maEy
things from those clothed with little
brief authority and so we are going
along and doing the best We can to
do our part by the government, and
to help our boys who are in the fir
ing line. There is so sacrifice toe
great for US, if it will help them. Tie
people must buy thrift stamps and
bonds and save wheat so that the
hoys may not suffer.
And this reminds us that the las:
notice that the local committee had
about the thrift stamp campaign, they
passed up The Herald and News. We
mention this because we want the
public to know that this paper has
not refused to carry anything that it
could that would in the least help
the cause. We want this war to end.
and the quickest way to end it is to
fight it vigorously and with all your
might and all your resources.

WOOD ASSURES SENATORS
GERMAN MOVE WILL FAIL
ARMY Officer Who Has Recently Re'
turned From France COnhdent
That Allies WAL Stop Huns.


Washington March 25.-Back from
a visit u the Western battle front
Mai Gea. Leonard Wood in CONF
Dental s,s-erlent today before the
senate military committee, declared
that allied military opinion is unan-
imous that the German offensive VII!
fail, and urged great increase-se
1000 900 or 100000 men-in Amer!-
cas- army.
II was General Woods opinion, &C.
cording to his auditors, that the Ger
mans on the Western front now are
numerically superior, both On the
ground and in the air, but that the al
lies are in a better position. While
confident that the German offensive
will be halted before the enemy hes
gained any material objective, Genera!
Wood suggested that the offensive
NAV change the warfare into more
omen contest. For that reason he rec
commended the training of American
forces for open warfare as we'll as fof
trench fighting.
The general was before the COM
mittee for three hours and frankly
discussed the situation in Europe ans
At home. Stating that the French are
edisappointed in the size of the Amer
can army thus far sent to Europe, &C
cording to committee members, ne
recommended immediate steps to IN
crease both the American expedition
ary forces and the army in training
in this country. Chairman Chamber
lain said General Wood recommended
that an army Of 2,500,G00 men be
maintained in France at the earliest
possible moment and 100000 more
in training at home. Another COM
nittee member placed General Wood $
recommendations at 100000. men,
one-half in France as soon as the.
can be sent there. In this connection
General Wood also recommended
compulsory universal military train
ing

In urging that the American war
program of men, ships and munitions
be speeded up and increased. Genera!
Wood said no American artillery Or
airp1anes are yet available to Genera
Pershing's. men, and that although
1000 American aviators are ready,
they are without planes. Use Of Lib
erty motors in bombing instead Of
Rfghting machines also was recon-
s6nended by General Wood,
Commenting on the German often
sive. General Wood, according r
members of the committee, said that,
although the initial success of the
Germans probably had been greater
than expected either by the allies or
the enemy, judged by the number ef
British guns reported captured, h.
and allied officers believed the drive
will be short-lived. There is no pos
sibiIity, he said, of the Germans at
tanning their apparent objective, the
channel ports, or threatening Paris.
Explaining the viewpoint of the al
lied officers with whom he recently
talked and who were expecting the
sresent attack, he said the Germans
soon will reach more difficult ground
to traverse, while the British and
French retire to superior prepared
sositions at which the German offen-
sive will be stopped.
