clear, too, that Russia had been bound
to protect Serbia from Austria, and
that Germany understood this and
knew that Austria's attack on Serbia
meant war between Austria and Rus
sia, which also meant, of course, war
between Germany and Russia and be-
tween Germany and France, since the
latter was Russia's ally.
Nothing could have been more sig
nificant than this, that Germany, being
herself already prepared-dOwn to the
last buckle-for immediate war, de-
clared war on Russia for the alleged
reason that Russia was getting pre-
pared for war. We know this sort of

many stood with a bright new auto
matte revolver in hand, and Russia
made motion toward the hip pocket
where there was later found a pen
knife with two blades broken. "Self-
defense" Germany claimed loudly
through her attorneys. "He made a
motion toward his hip pocket; so /
had to shoot him."
The German chancellor declared in
the reichstag that Russia made this
fatal motion toward the hip pocket in
spite of England's effort to keep peace.

TO CURTAIL BEEF CONSUMPTION
Needs are Greater than the Supply.
Hotels Limited.

VIM. Elliott, food administrator for
South Carolina, has received tele-
gram from Herbert Hoover, in which
the Federal Food Administrator
says:
THE demands for beef for our
army and the allied armies or their
civil populations for this summer are
beyond our present surplus. On the
other hand, we have enough increas-
ed supply Of pork this summer to per-
NIT economical expansion In its use.
1T will, therefore, be a direct service
to our armies and the allies IL our
people would in some degree substi-
tute fresh pork, bacon, ham and sau-
sage for beef products
The food administration, in view
of the demands for beef for the army
and the allies, has now reached the
point where it must request all ho-
tells and restaurants not to place on
their menus or serve boiled beef for
more than two meals per week, and
beefsteak for not more than one meal
per week. Roast beef Is also limited
to one meal a week.
The State food administrator Is
asked to enforce this rule against all
public eating places. Mr.. Hoover's
telegram to Mr.. Elliott continues:
'FHouseholders are not under any
circumstances to buy more than one
and one-quarter pounds Of clear beef
weekly Cor one and one-half pounds,
including the bone) per person in the
household. The public will realize
that the changing situation in ship
ping, and, therefore, Of the markets
available to the allies and the in
creasing demands for our growing
army with the fuctuating supplies of
local beef in France all make 1t i'm
possible to determine policies for
long periods in advance. We have
recently asked for economy in all
meat consumption. We wish now to
emphasize further reduction OF beef
by the substitution Of pork. 1t Is an
ticipated that 1t will hold. good un-
til September Is, and the co-opera-
ton OF the public is most earnestly
requested"

COTTON MAY DROP TO IL CENTS
Dillon Ranker Appeals to Congress-
men to Limit Acreage.

A. B. Jordan, who Is vice president
Of bank at Dillon and is publisher
of the Dillon Herald, has written the
following letter to members of the
South Carolina delegation in Con-
gress:
II am addressing you this letter
after consulting with a number of
prominent business men and farm
ers. The prevailing opinion is that
unless something is done and done
at once, the fall cotton crop will sell
at from IL to Is cents. This will
mean financial embarrassment and
probably bankruptcy for a big por-
tion Of the South.
"The farmers have invested heav-
lily in Liberty bonds, in many cases
making tho initial payment of 10 or
20 per cent, with the idea of paying
the balance from the proceeds of the
1918 crop. If cotton sells for less
than rs cents a pound the banks car
rying these bonds will have to dump
them on the New York exchange in
order to get money to warehouse a
portion Of the crop. These are the
views Of thoughtful men in close
touch with the situation down here.
"As a means Of avoiding this ca
lamity it has been suggested that
prompt measures be taken to curtail
the 1919 crop by limiting the farmer
to an acre of cotton for every acre
Of grain planted.
"This plan would decrease the
1919 cotton crop to a maximum of
100000 bales and would more than
double the food production in the
South. 1t would have the effect of
solving to a large degree two prob
lens that have given the administra-
ton much concern, viz: The over
production Of cotton and the under
production Of food.
"If this plan cannot be put into
effect by virtue Of the authority given
the President under the war emer-
gency act, 1t can be done by an act Of
Congress, and I believe you will rem
der not only your own State, but the
entire South, great service by put
ting such measure before Congress.
II shall be glad to have your views
on the matter.
Yours very truly,

There is no evading the edict Of
Work or Fight" and, as the law
means just what 1t says, 1t "lines up"

Many States anticipated the ma

says: Both nation and State are at

have to show that philosophy was

Samuel Johnson might have to dem
onstrate that his building OF a die
tionary was an essential calling"
or the present operation of the
New York State law, the Sun relates
this incident:
"The other day man OF wealth
found himself confronted by quan.
dary. He had retired from business
with an ample fortune and had vol
unteered to assist one Of the local
draft boards. His physician advised
MIN that his health was failing, and
that he should lose no time in taking
two months vacation. Then came
the news that the State had enacted
legislation which seemed to require
him to work. He therefore applied
to the chairman Of the draft board
Tor permission to go away for
while. His application is being held
up pending the arrival Of the attor-
ney generals opinion"

POOR Or GERMANY SUFFER-.
Private Letters Show Unrest Is Grow
ing Among the People.

London, June 14.-Private letters
from Germany which have come into
allied hands indicate the heavy
weight which the war has imposed
upon the poor in that country. Anx-
iety for peace finds frequent express
sions as we'll as anger with the mill
tarist element in the nation.
1--WE hope that peace will come
soon," writes man from Berlin,
"for If the war lasts much longer,
then the people here will make
peace. Twice already there have
been small riots, but when the third
comes 1t won't go we'll with the rich
people. For the poor there is 80 lit
tie food that they can hardly live,
while the rich people have stores laid
up for years. Poor people are only
fit to be shot. The mon in the field
suffer for the rich and have to go
hungry"
Along the same lines man from
Central Germany writes: "If the
rich had nothing to eat, as we poor
people have, the war would soon
come to an end"
Many Of the letters return again
and again to attacks on the militia
rtsts OF Germany, who are held re-
sponsible for the continuation OF the
war, and the consequent misery Of
the people
"As long as the militarists insist
the Fatherland must be greater
there will be no peace" writes a wo-
man from Stettln, and disgust with
the methods Of the Germans is q
strong note in letters from all parts
Of the country.
