BELIEVE END WAR
COME THIS YEAR
CONTINUED From Page 1.)

perate efforts for a military victory
to again quiet the brewing storm at
home.
Those who believe the end OF the
war may come this year base their
opinion on supreme confidence in the
ability of the allied line to resist
any force that can be hurled against
it. When that has been finally
shown and German offensive power
is at its end, they believe offers of
peace are to be expected from Ber.
lin.
Many officials are already think
ing OF the necessity Of guarding
against a premature peace. They
insist that to settle the question Of
government by force once or all, it
is virtually necessary that the Ger
man army be crushed-not merely
held back.
Every effort is being made here to
hasten men to France for immediate
use. and if the German renewal as
sault is checked, 1t is argued that an
immediate ter-offensivea should
be launched. as the best an
swer to probable proposals for a
patched up peace.

had told Red Cross solicitor that
if he contributed anything he woulo
give it to his country.
They've been made to kiss the Flag
Newherry and at many places
throughout the United States. The
News opposes lawlessness, abhors
lynching and whitecapping, but we
unhesitatingly subscribe to the Haw
River idea. There is no room in Co
lumbia-nor in the United States
for Red Cross slackers and disloy-
alists, except in Jail or detention
camp, unless they can be brought to
their senses as in the case of Myrick
Of Haw River. There is no particu-
lar statute, as we understand it., to
handle the Red Cross Stacker, but
the Haw River plan might be legal
ized through constant usage. Myrick,
1t may be said, reached the depth OF
his degradation when he laid hands
upon a woman, otherwise, his Of
fense might have been mitigated.
or course, in all of these cases
and in many others explanations
were forthcoming, but they explain
ed nothing. The man who is
right supports his government
and the Red Cross and If he does
not, he is wrong. No explanation is
necessary.

RESOLUTIONS.

The following resolutions by the
teachers of the Lancaster graded
schools were read by Col Leroy
Springs at the graduation exercises
Friday night:
Whereas the 1917-191S session OF
the Lancaster graded schools is
about to close;
Whereas the superintendent of the
said schools, Mr.. c. E. Wessinger,
will not return;
And whereas certain rumors,
questioning the loyalty OF Superin-
tendent Wessinger, to our nation,
have gained a wide and injurious
circulation, therefore, he il resolved: {:
l. That in superintendent Wes-
singer we have always had a loyal
friend, a patient adviser. a fearless
disciplinarian, steadfast supporter. n
courteous companion and that we
deeply and genuinely feel his loss.
=. That in Superintendent Wes-
singer we have always found a man
of the highest moral character. of
purest motives, of thorough manli-
ness and we take pleasure in testify
ing to his nobility OF character.
3. That in Superintendent Wes-
singer, we have found progressive.
positive, thorough teacher. and we
cheerfuily recommend him to any
board OF trustees who wish to en-
ploy a superintendent OF one hun
dred per cent ability.
4. That in the school room, on
the streets and in our homes, we
have always found in him absolutely
loyal to the American soldier, the
American flag, and the American
government.
5. That though Superintendent
Wessinger bears a German name,
we know that his heart beats true
TO the American flag: that his every
thought is for the success OF our
cause, and we brand as false the ma
licious report that has been circulat-
ed against his loyalty-for we know
no more patriotic man walks the
free soil OF America than Chalmers
f. Wessinger
6. That we wish for Superin-
tendent Wessinger wherever he may
go and whatever he may do. health.
happiness and success-the hand
maids of pure, Industrious and
manly life.
z. That these resolutions 6e read
at the graduating exercises. that a
copy thereof be handed to each OF
the local newspapers with a request
for publication that a copy be filed
among the archives of the school.
and that the original be presented to
Superintendent Wessinger as a token
of our abiding confidence and last
ing friendship.

CASES OF DISLOYALTY.

There is no room in Columbia
for rich man who will not con-
tribute to the Red Cross"
In substance that is what was
said by Fitzhugh McMaster in his
roast" OF Benjamin l.. Abney, at
torney for the Southern Railway of
Columbia, who was alleged to have
told the committee soliciting Red
Cross contributions, mot a damn
cent for the Red Cross" The News
entertains very serious doubts as to
whether there is room for such man
in any other city or section in South
Carolina. Should Mr.. Abney decide
that Mr.. McMaster is right. he will
probably cast about for a suitable
place in which to locate. Lancaster.
we assume the authority of saying.
will put in no bid for the Southern
Railway lawyer, nor for any one
driven away from another town be-
cause of disloyalty. Fact is, Co
lumbia ought not to be satisfied
with driving disloyalist out OF
town and forcing his presence un-
beknownst on some other town. Mr..
Abney, being a lawyer. has perhaps
heard the joke about the citizen who
remarked to a judge that he was OPP
posed to prisons and that the wave
Of crime ought to be stopped. The
Judge replied that the citizen was
entirely right and that the best way
to stop the wave of crime was to put
those responsible for it in Jail.
Driving criminal or a disloyaiist
out OF town is poor policy.
At Haw River, n. c., a cotton mill
town, a merchant by name Of Myrick
refused the Red Cross committee
permission to place Red Cross pos
ters in his windows and caught one
of the ladies by the wrist and led
her out Of his store. That night
Myrick was soundly whipped by
number OF his fellow-merchants
made to kiss the Flag and swear al
legiance to the United States and
the Red Cross posters went in his
windows. He is now said to be 100
per cent American" At Birming-
ham. Ala, travelling man made
derogatory remarks about the Red
Cross. He was given a yellow ban
ner bearing this inscription. on one
side: This is my color" and on
the other: Stacker, going out of
town" He was marched to the de-
pot. but before he could be put
aboard train, he fell into the hands
OF federal officers and was locked up
in jail. In Asheville Thursday.

ROADS.

Lancaster and the North Carolina
line is the only important road out
OF Lancaster that has been allowed
to remain in an unimproved state.
1t is bad road. Even in good
weather, it is full of holes and
bumps. badly cut up by use in wet
weather and the condition of the
soil, lacking sand, renders it espe-
cially susceptible to being cut up by
heavy vehicles. The condition of

carries a picture OF the new steel
and concrete bridge between Fort
Mill and Rock Hill and saws in con-
nection with statements of the com
pletion of the bridge that motorists
prefer that route from Charlotte to
Columbia to the one through Lam
caster and Kershaw counties, by
reason of the condition OF the roads
and the shortening of the distance by
l6 miles. The News believes the
State is mistaken in the latter state
ment. Charlotte to Columbia by
Lancaster is 113 miles, and the dis
tance between the two cities by Rock
Hill is 1lS miles, saving Of five
miles in favor of the route through
Lancaster. Nevertheless, in view of
the condition OF the road to the
north OF Lancaster, The News is not
in position to dispute the States as
sertion that the other route is pre-
ferable to motorists regardless of the
distance.
