POTSDAM PIFFTIE.

Now that the official text of Ger
 manys reply has been received and found to be identical with that con- tained in press reports of Saturday evening. it is possible to comment upon it in all calmness. First of all, let 1t be clearly understood that the repIv sent from Berlin is based upon false logic. in that it presupposes an obligation on the part of President wilson to intervene immediately with ehe Entente nations in the face of Germany's alleged compliance with his proposals. President Wilson did not bind himself or the Allies in any way nor did he ''promise" Germany anything if she adopted his sugges- ton as to the evacuation of occupied +erritories. The central powers must understand that the evacuation of these territories is conditio sine qua non. Until they remove their forces from Russia, and the Balkans, from France, Belgium and Italy, there can he no further steps taken by the President. And it is not to be doubt ed that the President will so inform ho mi nn appointed to arrange for the evacua- ton. The central powers troops got into those territories by themselves. Let them get out as best they can. The Allies will render no help unless E If he in the nature of continued ham mering of the retreating German ' hordes on the west front. It would he folly for the Allies to let up for one moment in the bombardment and routing of the enemy forces. If the Germans do not withdraw to their own borders at once and of their own accord, they will be driven back at the point of the bayonet
 What the German general staff is planning is to bring about tempor- ary let-up in the open warfare which Is proving so disastrous to them, in order to stave off complete defeat during the next three or four weeks
 After that cold weather will put a stop to major operations and the ene- my may have a chance to reorganize his armies and recuperate during the winter months from the terrible pun
 shment administered by Foch, Haig and Pershing If the Germans con- template. an armistice forthwith they are doomed to a great disappoint- ment. Advices from London indicate that Great Britain will demand the deIivery into British hands of the en- tire German navy before there can be any thought of a cessation of hos tiIities In addition to this, the All lies will probably insist upon the oc- cupation of Entente forces of various strategic points in Germany as an evidence of good faith on the part ot the enemy.

ASK YOUR CANDIDATE
FOR THE LEGISLATURE
ABOUT INHERITANCE TAX

The most just and least INJURIOUS
tav on earth, az we have already said,
is the inheritance tax, and the aver
age state ought to rise ten times as
much revenue from that source as
it now raises. While they are alive
and at work it is not we'll to
put too heavy burden Of
taxation on our captains Of indus
try who have carved out their own
fortunes. Such men are not likely
to be very wasteful and they general
ly re-invest their profits in their fac
tories, railroads, stores, shops, ETC.,
in such a way as to create more
wealth for the state. But exactly the
opposite thing is likely to be true Of
the young men and young women
who fall heir to fortunes they have
not earned. They are likely to be
parasites, idle money-spenders, tho
wealth they have inherited unearned
proving q curse instead Of blessing.
1t is the exception rather than the
rule for the son to show his fathers
business ability; and even il it were
the rule, very large proportion Of
our great fortunes pass not to sons,
but to cousins, uncles, aunts, ETC.,
who have no real claim whatever up
on the maker Of the fortune.
The masses Of the people who fur
nished the rich man his business and
therefore his profits have a juster
claim to share in his wealth than a
misce ellaneous lot Of distant relatives;
and the people who have furnished
his profits have a right to claim a
share Of the surplus wealth inherited
by sons and daughters. Every man
who has bought gallon of kerosene
has helped to make John d. Rocke.
feller rich, and nobody can claim that
Rockefeller has actually rendered any
service to humanity sufficiently to jus.
tify his vast accumulations. The gov.
| ernment at his death therefore will
and ought to take a large part Of his
wealth by means of inheritance tax
| and use it for the benefit Of the peo.
pie from whom 1t was taken.
In like manner the great merchan,
or the great manufacturer has grown
rich on the patronage Of the people
| and since the state must have ta,
money from somewhere, the wises'
and justest thing to do it to take il
as largely as possible from those who
will feel the burden least (Which
means the wealthy and as largely q.
possible from those who have no.
themselves earned the wealth the,
posses (which means those who have
become wealthy by inheritance).-

FIVE WAYS TO INCREASE
NEXT YEARS FEED SUPPLY

That feeds are to be scarce and
high-priced for at least another year
is q practical certainty. Knowing
this, every farmer in the South should
during the next six weeks do every
thing in his power to insure an ade-
quat supply Of home-raised feeds for
the next twelve months. Here are five
suggestions that we believe will help
in doing this:
I, Put a lsgums crop in every acre
IF corn. Any land in corn that does
not also grow a crop of cowpeas,
velvet beans or soy beans or peanuts
is doing only half its duty, and the
same it pretty nearly true Of the own
er Of the acre ne we'll. A good growth
If any Of these will furnish fine graz
ing well into the winter and thus save
The harvested grain for later use.
z. Plant q hay or grazing crop or
corn after all oats and wheat. Idle
,tubble land ought to be an abomina-
ton in the eyes Of any farmer. and
certainly is to all good farmers. II
there be any doubt as to an adequate
supply Of corn, some Of the richest
Of the stubble land may we'll be plant
ed to corn. Cowpeas, or q mixture Of
cowpeas and sorghum, will make
good crop Of excellent hay, as will
soy beans, millet or Sudan grass.
Peanuts and sweet potatoes for hogs
may aso be planted we'll into July.
3. Put all low. wet spots to growing
hay. There is hardly farm in the
Cotton Belt that hasn't one or more
rich wet hollows that are not paying
their taxes. If these cannot be ditched
and drained, we can at least grub out
the bushes and stumps and get q
hay crop of them.
4. Plow up cotton on land whore
stands are bad and plant corn or hay.
In some sections cold weather and
heavy rains have resulted in poor
stands of cotton, and where this Is
the case and there is any likelihood Of
feed shortage, it will probably pay
to plow up the scattering cotton and
plant feew crop.
8. Build . silo and fll Il, II you
have fifteen or more head of cattle
to winter. As was 80 we'll brought
out in our last weeks "Silo Special"
the silo is almost indispensable to
the man who would make q success
with dairy or beef cate. Bat Of
course there must be crops to fill It,
and these must be planted within the
next six weeks.--The Progressive
Farmer.

BUY YOUR STAMPS PROMPTLY

Charleston - The State Savings
Committee urges that those who
pledged themselves in the June W..
S. S. Campaign to purchase War Saw
ings Stamps during the remaining
months Of the year should not wait
until the last minute but should CO.
operate with the government by pur-
chasing the specified amount Of
stamps at the earliest day possible.
That is, il stamps are pledged for
July, the subscriber should make ev-
cry effort to purchase them in the
carly part Of the month. This will
make the work Of the postocce and
agents easier. and will enable the
tate to make a better showing at
Washington in the campaign. The
committee points out that the pledges
?cre made to the government, and,
therefore,, all should cooperate to

mel, on the road to Compiegne, and
very recently when the enemy has
faced the French and the Americans
on the Marne and the troops of Gen
raj G0uraud between Prunay and the
Argonne hills there has been a mark
ed lack Of persistence in attack and
failure of rallying power. The Ger
mans who are now opposed to Pc
tain, Liggett, and Guoraud are not
the impetuous and confident troops
who broke the base at Cambria on
March 21, and, with General Won HUI
tiers Riga tactics and an unprece-
dentcd use Of poison gas, drove ahead
several miles a day. The "Storm Of
Peace" as the fifth phase of the Of
fensive was called, nearly lost it's vio-
lence, and it was no doubt an appre-
citation Of the fact that caused Gen.
eral Foch to try defensive offensiN e
movement on a wide front.
Counterattacks by the Germans are

tions. For four months, almost to a
day, the Germans have known, with
rare exception, only forward move

thousands Of guns, and piles Of equip
incnt. Now the enemy has turned
upon them with lightning quickness
and a shifting power of attack that
they cannot stand up against. The
offensive that was to compel peace
has become an offensive of the Allies,
| perhaps seeking a decision in what
| the German rank and file had been
told was to be the last battle Of the
war. The time schedules Of the Gen
cral Staff have so often gone wrong
/ late that such cruel and bitter dis

prove their undoing. If they have

FocH's coUNrERoFFENsIvE

The attack by the'French and Ame-
ricans Thursday, July 12 on a front
OF twenty-five miles from Fontenoy
on the Aisne and southeast to Bel
leau must not be mistaken for an
operation like that undertaken by
General Foch in the second week in
June, when he reached the line st.
Maur-Antheuil Marest Chevincourt
and captured 1000 prisoners and
some cannon, inficting heavy losses
upon General Won Hutier's army.
Hopes were then raised that General
Foch had begun an offensive upon
an ambitious scale; but the time had
not come for that; his design was de-
fensive, to stop the fourth phase of
he German campaign directed at
Paris, Amiens, and the Channel por, s.
The initiative still rested with the
Germans. General Foch still had to
)e content with Fabian tactics. AS
late as June 13 General Won Hutier
made determined thrust at Com
)iegne, but it was soon spent, so
stubborn was the resistance Of the
!, French and Americans
In sense, the wide sweep Of the
Franco-Amcrican advance that began
furiously july l8 was defensive; that
is to say, the immediate object was
20 relieve the German pressure upon
Rheims, which was being cnvcloped,
| and to divert the enemy from a plan
| that scmed to include the isolation
| that seemed to include the isolation
Of Vcrdun, as well as the extension

ing strokes, intricate, confusing, baf-
