FURTHER INROADS INTO RUSSIAN
TERRITORY THREATENED BY
GERMAN DELEGATES.
WANTS MUCH TERRITORY
BoIsheviki Amazed at Audacity Of De-
nands-ASks Time to Consider
Which Was Reluctantly Given-Rus'
sia's Last Chance.

After weeks of vaccilation the Ger
mans at last have made their demands
1T the peace conference at Brc5t-Lito'
vsk and the Russians have declined to
accede to them.
Notwithstanding tee fact that the
imperial German chancellor in his
many-times postponed speech to the
main committee Of the reichstag an
nounces that he still holds the hope
that an early and satisfactory concE'
sion of the Brest-Litovsk conference
will be reached, the terms Of the Ger
mans as enunciated by General Hofr'
man, one of their chief delegates to
tie peace conference, so far form an
insuperabi barrier for the bolshevikl
government, which has expressed a
determination to carry out policy OF
no annexations and no indemnities.
Courland in its entirety and all OF
Russia's Baltic provinces are to be re-
tained by Germany, according to Cen
eral Hoffman in what is termed as
Germany's last proposal to the Rus

quiesce in the demands, further in.

to run it-from the shores OF the
gulf of Finland eastward to the Moon
sound islands and then to the west
of Minsk and thence to Brest Litovsk
leaving within German boundaries
some of Russia's choicest territory.
Amazed at the audacity of the Ger
man program the Russian delegates
asked for time to consider the de-
mand. This was grudgingly given, to-
gether with the announcement that
it was the last postponement that
could be expected. The latest advices
are to che effect that the Russians
have unanimously rejected the Ger
man terms.

WAS FOR NUMBER OF YEARS
SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES..
IS MAJOR JUDGE ADVOCATE
South Carolina Has Sustained Great
Loss on Bench, Says Gocernor
Manning.

The resignation of Mendel L. Smith
as Judge of the Fifth Judicial circuit,
was transmitted to both houses of the
general assembly. Mr.. Smith has been
commissioned as major judge advocate
of the United States army and passed
through Columbia on his way to Camp
Wadsworth, Spartanburg, where he has
been assigned.
Having been member of the legis-
lature a number of years and one of
the most popular and efficient speak
ers who ever presided in the house,
his visit to the house was greeted with
enthusiasm. A resolution was imme-
diately introduced by Messrs. From
berg and Martin, asking Major Smith
to address the legislature.
In responding to the. call, Major
Smith emphasized that Americas mis-
sion in the war was to be- of service
to humanity" A brief sketch of all
the wars in which the nation has had
part was given, emphasizing that her
sole object has always been, in war
and diplomacy, service to humanity.
The present conflict was to Withstand
the doctrine of force, formerly employ
ed by the Romans and now having its
rebirth in the Prussians.
The members of the legislature were
reminded that their responsibility just
now was especially grave as leaders
of thought and action in the state.
Conditions challenged their utmost
powers, he said: "No dollar can be
too sacred; no calling too high; and
no sacrifice too great"
The great cause of righteousness will
triumph, he said, "and when the men
return it will be the grandest welcome
South Carolina has ever given any Of
her noble sons. Some will be limp
and faltering. Some will be wrapped
in the blood soaked soil Of France.
But if some are absent, it will be a
triumph in which it will be glorious
to live and glorious to die {.
In his letter transmitting Major
Smiths resignation, Governor Manning
said:
81 have the honor to transmit here
with a true copy Of the resignation Of
the honorable Mendel L. Smith, judge
of the Fifth Judicial Circuit Of South
Carolina.
"In accepting the resignation o.
Judge Smith, l wish to commend him
for his patriotism and to baar testi-
mony of the great loss the people of
South Carolina have sustained in los
ing his services on the bench. take
this opportunity to officially congratu-
late him on his new commission, and |
feel certain that you gentlemen will
join me in wishing him success"
Major Smiths letter OF resignation
follows:
Having been rendered commits
sion as major judge advocate in the
officers reserve corps Of the United
States army, hereby tender my resig-
nation as judge Of the Fifth Judicial
Circuit in this state, to become ef-
fective the first day of February, 1918"

Flow of Men, Munitions and Food to
Allies, Says Secretary Baker.

Washington - Warning that the
Germans are preparing for great
submarine offensive against the Amer
5can lines of communication with
France in connection with the impend-
ing Teutonic drive against the west
'front.' is given by Secretary Baker in
ms weekly military review made pub
lie Dy the war department.
Recently there has been marked
decrease in the number of allied mer'
chant ships sunk by submarines. The
explanation for this is found in the
withdrawal of submarines in prepa-
ration for the coming thrust on land
and sea. The review says:
Gas the time draws near when once
again the enemy will endeavor to
strike a decisive blow in the west, it
must be emphasized that he will not
be content with mere military oper-
atoms on large scale.
During the past fortnight enemy
submarines have been recalled to
home ports to be refitted and the most
powerful subamine offensive hitherto
undertaken may be expected to be
launched against our lines of commu-
nication with France. to intercept the
steady flow of men and munitions for
our own armies and food supplies for
Che allies.
