The Peace Talk.

We are all willing and anxious for
peace, Of course: but we must not for
get the fact that we are just now en-
tering upon the most critical situation
OF the entire war.
The Allies have made treme ndous
headway since the middle Of July and
they are making tremendous headway
now. Old conditions have been re-
versed and it is the Germanic crowd
that Is now feeling the weight OF su-
periority Of numbers. supplies and SOL
diership.
The Germans are whipped and no.
body is better aware Of the fact than
they. They have always placed VIC
tory on the side Of the largest and
strongest armies. and they have abund-
ant evidence now that the Allies have
all the advantage in this respect.
But the Germans are not yet con-
quered. and nobody knows that better
than the high command of the Allied
armies. and the statesmen who have
charge Of the Allied fortunes.
The German armies still number
millions. we'll supplied with all that is
needed for war. and although they are
being driven back to their own coun-
try. il is very well to remember that
they are still capable Of most stub
born resistance. They can still do tre-
mendous damage to the Allies.
What the Germans are after now is
the best terms possible. 1t is to their
vital interest to save all they possibly
can out Of the wreck, and from their
standpoint they can afford TO incur
still further losses to that end rather
than submit to unconditional surren-
der. and take the only terms they have
a right to expect-giving up every
thing they had gained. and paying for
all they have destroyed. Along with
it too. they stand to be deprived of all
their colonies throughout the world,
their impregnable naval base Of Hell
goland, and the means Of making war
for generations to come.
The Allies must do to Germany all
the things they have promised and all
the things she expects, or all the blood
shed and destruction Of the past four
wears have been worse than in vain.
To bring Germany to the point
where she can be forced to accept all
the terms the Allies have in mind may
vet prove very expensive, and Ger
many no doubt is relying upon that
possibility to get better terms than
will be granted to her on basis of the
present situation.
The Allies very well understand that
IL Germany shall be left to enjoy the
benefits of what she has gained IN
Russia, and eventually to organize as
much of Russia as she wants as Ger
man province. 1t will not be great
while until the war must break out
anew, with a possibility Of different
results from those attained up to this
time.

information as to the whereabouts OF
the two men came to the sherln last
sunday afternoon. 1t was to the ef-
foct that two strangers had applied to
che home of Mr.. d. J. Forbes, between
Clover and Bowling Green, at about l
O'clock Sunday morning. for some
thing to eat. They were provided with
onions and bread, for which they paid
so cents.
On learning Of this incident Sheriff
oninn went up to Mr.. Forbes's and
made inquiry. the result OF which was
that the men who had been to the

TO CLOSE The GINS.

Because OF unusual conditions the
food administration has found II de-
sirable to close the cotton gins
throughout this section. and official IN
strllctions to that end from Food -Ad-
ministrator McElwee will be found In
another column.
The storage facilities OF the cotton
oil mills and Of the seed buyers gen
orally are taxed beyond their capaGi-
ties, and at different points IN the
county large quantities OF cotton seeu
arc going to loss through heating.
Food Administrator Mct.lWee mas
r.csived numerous appeals both from
oil mill ginners and private ginners Tor
relief aad he sees no other remedy Tor
the situation than TO close down all
the gins.
With the price of seed fixed as II Is.
there is no incentive for the farmers
TO hold their seed and the seed are De-
ing dumped on the market as rapidl!
as they are ginned. Hence the over
taxing OF storage facilities that were
ample for the normal conditions OF
other years.
With the gins of the county closed
down for a week. and the oil miiis
working night and day in the mean
time. there Is hope that by next Tues-
day the strain on seed storage capacity
Of both the gins and mills VIII nave
been relieved and there will be no tur-
ther immediate trouble.
Cotton seed In bulk are more sus-
ceptible of damage by heating now
than will be the case later on. and II
NAV not be necessary for the food ad-
ministration to again take hand. But
if il shall be necessary to resort 10
some further expedient in this line. the
authorities promise TO take such steps
as may he necessary to conserve the
best interest of all concerned-individ-
lals and the country.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1918-10-08

Still 1t is better that all attempted
restrictions have been removed. AS We
take it that is what the new regula-
tions amount to. The removal Of the
restrictions is calculated TO give fuller
and more dependable light, and the
power Of the people will be able to act
with more intelligence and more
promptness.
No, don't let it be understood that
the more freedom to these soldier cor
respondents Is going to give these cor
respondents any increased power in
the direction Of thought and effort.
That power. as has been suggested,
does not and cannot rest in individu-
ais. But with each Of these powers
giving his own testimony as to the
facts that come within his own knowl-
edge. and rejecting the hopes, aspi-
rations and sentiments Of others as
they impress him. the people are apt
10 get a mighty correct impression Of
the real truth.

NOTICE TO GINNERS

BECAUSE of the congestion of the
- storage capacity of all oil mills and
seed handlers generally, there Is danger
of wholesale loss of cotton seed by
heating, etc. and the only relief that
can be suggested for the situation is a
shutting down of all the cotton gins
In the county for one week from and
including today and including next
Monday. October Is.
This Is in order TO give the cI'ushers
the opportunity 10 work up the seed
on hand and make room for more.
Otherwise there Is danger OF loss Of
seed to the extent of thousands of dol
lars, which loss the country can ill-af-
ford at this time.
All ginneries. whether operated by
oil mill or other corporations or pri-
vate individuals who recognize the
state and county food administrations.
will obey these instructions without
question.
! am issuing these instructions with
the approval Of the State Food Ad-
ministration. because neither the State
nor County Administration is willing to
be responsible for consequences that
might otherwise follow.

KAISER PROPOSES PEACE.
Remarkable Proclamation to German
Army and Navy.

Emperor William today issued a
proclamation to the German army
and navy in which, after announcing
that the Macedonian front had crum-
bled, he declared that he had decided
in accord with his Allies. to again Of
fer peace TO the enemy.
The text of the emperor's proclama-
tion reads:
For months past the enemy with
enormous cXertionS and almost with
out pause in the fighting has stormed
against your lines. In weeks OF strug-
gle, often without repose, you have
had to perseverc and resist numeri-
cally superior enemy. Therein lies the
greatest of the task which has been
set for you and which you have full
filled. Troops of all the German
states are doing their part and are
heroically defending the fatherland
on foreign soil. Hard is the task.
My navy is holding its own against
the united enemy naval forces and Is
unwaveringly supporting the army In
its difficult struggle.
THE eyes of those at home rest with
pride and admiration on the deeds of
the army and navy. express to you the
thanks of myself and the fatherland.
THE collapse Of the Macedonian
front has occurred in the midst of the
hardest struggle. In accord with our
Allies I have resolved once more to
offer peace to the enemy but | will
only extend my hand for an honorable
peace. We owe that to the heroes
who have laid down their lives for the
fatherland, and We make that our
duty to our children.
whether arms will be lowered Is a
question. Until then we must not slak-
en-. We must as hitherto, exert all
our strength unwearily to hold our
ground against the onslaught Of our
enemies.
"The hour Is grave but, trusting in
your strength and in Gods gracious
help, we ourselves to be strong enough
to defend our beloved fatherland.
(Signed) (Wilhelm.)"
