and in order to cure it you must take
an internal remedy. Halls Catarrah
Medicine is taken internally and acts
through the blood on the mucuous sur

Medicine was prescribed by one of the
best physicians in this country for
years. 1t is composed of some of the

Spanish or German 4 Prominent
AIHmnus of ST. Johns College Sug-
gests That the Authorities Take Ad-
vantage of the Existing Vacancy TO
Change the Curriculum by Substi-
tuting Spanish or German.
Editor Evening Capital:
Sir: without meaning to consider
the merits or the dement's of the case
against Professor Schumacher, can
vassed in your issue of today, it may
be pertinent TO remark that the va
cancy created by his dismissal comes
at a very appropriate time - that is.
between the sessions, giving the Col
lege authorities ample opportunity to
maturely reflect upon the best course
10 pursue in filing the vacancy. While
we are not advised as TO the senti-
ments of the students of the institu-
ton relative TO the study of German,
it may be inferred that they do not
differ in any way from the students
of most other schools. where there has
been an almost universal sentiment
against the continuance of the study.
This being theoretically true, would it
not be we'll for the Authorities to take
advantage OF this opportunity and
drop German from the course, except
in so far as it may be necessary in
case of those students who have al
ready done a part of a prescribed
course in German. While there are
great advantages to be derived from a
thorough course in this language, the
study of the same giving a mental drill
equal to that of the study of Latin, if
not Greek, to say nothing of its open
ing to the student one of the grandest
of -literatures, there are other
languages which offer equal advan-

FARMERS PLEDGE
TO GOVERNMENT
Tell The Secretary OF Agriculture
They Are Ready To Undertake
ANYTHING To Helm Win War

We are ready with a 10 per cent.
! increase of wheat, or whatever else
/ your department may call upon us to
message that 1.4O0 farmers of Madison
County. Indiana, flashed over the
4 wires to the Secretary of Agriculture
a few days ago.
4 1t indicated also that men in de-
ferred classifications realize that they
owe a special duty to their country,
for it came from farmers who have
been given the opportunity to keep at
agricultural production The rest of
the telegram, from H. S. Agster, rural
director of the deferred registered
men of Madison County, said: "Thir-
ty-three hundred men met on Satur-
day and perfected the deferred regis
tered mems organization of Madison
County, Indiana. About 400 of us are
farmers. Although our corn was Sc
verely frosted on the twenty-second of
June, we are going to increase our
number of brood sows ten per cent
In expressing the gratitude of the
people of the country to this associa-
ton OF farmers the Secretary of Agri-
culture sent the following telegram:
Men who have been given deferred
classification on occupational grounds
owe special service to their country.
That you are conscious OF this special
responsibility is evidenced by your pa
triotic action in the organization of
the deferred registrants in your coun-
ty. 1t is gratifying to the Department
of Agriculture to have this expression
from you pledging increased food pro
duction in face of unfavorable wealth
er conditions. Through the county
agents the Department of Agriculture
has encouraged action throughout the
country similar to that taken in your
county"

THE PENALTY OF
FRIGHTFULNESS

When British pressure along the
Somme compelled German retirement
a year ago the Germans laid waste
the country they abandoned with a
thoroughness which called to mind
the ravaEe OF the desert horseman
who boosted that grass never grew
again where once his horse had trod.
They wrecked every house and
every barn, fired every hay or straw
stack. cut down great avenues of cen
tury-old trees. drove copper nails into
thousands of fruit trees. filled up
wells, dynamited roads, and left the
land behind them blasted by destruc-
ton SO complete that the labor of
years could not restore II. 1t was
their intent, and they made no secret
of IT, that such parts of France as they
surrendered should be emptied, eco
nomically speaking, and incapable of
prosperity for generation. Now the
Germans are regretting the complete
ness with which they did their work
The chance of war. last spring led
to German drive over this ravaged
territory Today the Germans retire
across IL for a second time and find
retreat inconvenient. There is no
shelter in the stricken country. no
houses about which to organize little
centers of resistance, no clumps of
obi
gun nests. no roads along which
weary men may retreat with facility.
The smiling countryside has become
a desert. a German-made desert,
across which orderly retreat is much
more difficult than systematized adj
vance
Germany's economic aim in war be-
comes more apparent with every pass
ing month, Germany went to war for
loot. and for the chance to loot the
world. That chance has passed, and
now the Germans. sullenly retiring,
are footing as they go. They under
take deliberately TO lay such a blight
upon the land they surrender that it
viii be worthless TO those who pour
ont blood and treasure for its redemp-
tion. They make war ruthlessly with
an eye TO war after the war.
Their experiences in wasted Picar-
dy should warn them. One cannot war
against nature. against mans improv-
ing handiwork, and not pay the penal
~. For four years now the German
people have warred on civilization.
Civilization viii be revenged, even as
ruined Picardy today revenges itself
upon its oppressor
The disregard of treaties. the sacri-
fee Of non-combatants on land and
sea. the brutality of the battlefield and
the prison camp bring their reward.
The German viii be an outcast among
his fellows long after the peach trees
of northern France bloom and bear
again.

THE CARAVAN ROLLS EAST

A hundred years ago a long line Of
rickety dust-colored. canvas-topped
wagons moved westward. They had
bullying hoop-shaped tops and We're
drawn by long, rangy beasts. Inside
each wagon was a smoky cook stove
and a bundle Of faded patch work
quilts to feed and cover the pioneers
who rode along. They did not travel
very fast, but they crept along and
kept on going, doggedly, persistently,
till they pushed the frontiers OF civili-
cation out across the desert.
Today another long line OF dust-col-
ored, canyas-topped wagons move
across the country. But it moves east
ward and it will keep on moving till
II has pushed the frontiers of freedom
across the Rhine.
Like some great glorifed caravan
OF prairie schooners, the long lines Of
Army trucks are rolling out of Chi

board. They are trucks of the U. S.

Day after day, for weeks and
months. they have been rolling out,
travelling along at a swift but meas
ured pace each just twenty feet be-
hind its fellow, each driven by lean,
long limbed. bronzed young man who
is headed straight for his baptism of
fire and who knows It.
His truck, he knows. is more than
a baggage car. Il is the life line of
vast army in the field, the bread line
and the meat line and the ammunition
line for the men who are holding the
fine on ahead
And just as surely as the old prairie
schooner battled it's way across the
continent and fought through sand
and heat and drought. so this great
land fleet OF a new day will keep toll
ing till il has crossed its desert and
broken down the barriers which block
the way TO liberty.

Our Transportation Problems.

Some of our national transporta
ton problems and difficulties can be
better understood when it is remem-
bered that in the northeastern section
OF the United States, including New
York, Pennsylvania, adjoining States.
and New England, the population is
693 persons to every mile of railroad;
in the South the figures are 407 per-
sons per mile; and in the west 252.
to every mile Of railroad in the West.
while i'm the East there is / mile of
railroad to every square miles of
land. There are innumerable facto-
ries in this eastern theater, and the
bringing in of coal and raw material
and the carr. ing out of manufactured
products make up a tremendous
freight tonnage.
The Railroad Administration is
solving gradually many problems. BY
the elimination of many unnecessary
passenger trains several thousand en-
gines are diverted from passenger to
freight traffic, which relieves the situ-
alton materially. Also by loading the
freight cars to full capacity great
saving is being accomplished. Rout-
ing freight by the most direct route,
and other methods adopted by the ad-
are doing much to ease
the strain on our transportation facili-
ties.

south.
The Germans are using sneeze gas

Council of Defense.

AhC SouilteT county COunCll or De-
tense and the Executive Commit
tee of the Council will meet at Sumter
Chamber of Commerce at IL O'Clock
Tuesday morning.
FULL attendance is requested by
Chairman "A. G. Phelps, as matters Of
wide and county Importance will
be presented for consideration and
action.
Among the more important mat
ters will be the part that the County
Council will take in the big county
wide public health campaign and the
community and public health meet
!ngs to be held in this county during
The month of August, beginning on
August 1st, at HagOod.
The National and State Boards of
Health, and the National and State
Councils of Defense have planned a
nationwide public health campaign in
every county in the United States dur
ing next month.
A public health institute will be Held
in Columbia August 1st and End at
which hundreds of men from the en-
tire State will be given two-day
course of instruction in public health
speaking. These men and women will
then return to their homes and be
leaders in their county health cam
paign.
Misses Annie Keels and Alice Mar
tin, our two home demonstration
agents, in order to cooperate with
the county council of defense, have ar
ranged for twenty community meet
ings and demonstrations during next
month, and these meetings will be for
the benefit of every white man, wo-
man, boy and girl in the townships
and communities, at which there will
be an address by one of the six spe-
cially selected speakers who will dis
cuss public health improvement as a
war measure.
1t is hoped that Winthrop College
will furnish special experts to assist
Misses Keels and Martin at these
meetings, with the demonstrations.
At some of the community meet
ings the people of the communities
will make an all day affair Of it and
will enjoy a picnic dinner also No
arrangements have rs yet been made
for a public health meeting in this
city, but it is likely that one will be
held before the campaign is over.
