Manning, MeLaurin, cooper.-The
Anderson Daily Mail short time ago
had q really able article on the po-
litical situation. In the course OF
which it criticised quite severely the
failure Of Governor Manning to make
good. Incidentally 1t referred to Mr..
Jno. L McLaurin as a statesman OF
real constructive ability. who refused
to be dominated by factional politics.
The Sumter Item In commenting on
this article, takes an unwarranted
ning at Mr. McLnurin, saying this ar
ticle was a part Of the "McLaurin
propaganda" This is absurd, as the
Daily Mail has not been friendly to
Mr.. McLaurin. 1t Is camoufiage TO
help out a weak defense Of Manning
Brother osteen cannot justify Man.

wrong s,de Of a question. even better
when he Is writing on the right side,

We will do better by Manning than
the Item. He is a victim Of factional
politics. He did not have the states
mania to defy the insurance trust,
and at the Nay convention made an
unconditional surrender. Cooper Is

glad that we didn't join the Navy
cause got all the water 1 wanted
when we came across. l just want
to cross that said pond once more
and that when things have quikted
down over here.
It's fine evening, very quiet ex-
cept for an occasional cannon roar
and the purr of an aeroplane flying
over head. The aeroplane happens
to be one of ours SO no one Is
shooting at it. This morning
couple of Boche planes started over
our lines and business picked up
for few minutes and the Boches
beat it back toward Germany.
am sitting out in front OF my
dugout under the eamoufiage
which helps to hide us from enemy
planes.

WAR NEWS SUMMARY
The second German drive, an.
nOuneed in these columns last week
as having been launched a couple
days previous on the western front,
has slowed down and the past fey
days have been marked only by
desultory attacks and outpost
skirmises. The Marne, which the
German forces reached on Saturday
seems to have been the objective in
this drive for Immediately upon
reaching the river they began digg-
ing themselves in with the evident
intention of reorganizing their fore
es for final drive on Paris. Al
together the Germans advanced in
the neighbOrhood of thirty miles in
this drive and with their present
front line trenches only about
forty-five miles from Paris the situa-
tion is gravt. However, the Allies
are massing their forces at strategic
points for determined defense and
it is hoped that they may be able to
prevent any further advance by the
Huns An Allied offensive in force
is quite probable as a counter at
tack and in some minor engage
ments some little ground has al
ready been won back from the
enemy.
As we go to press the American
forces in the Luneville sector are
being subjected to a severe bonn
bardment by the German guns and
it is not known whether this press
ages new offensive in force by the
Germans or not. But the Ameri.
cans are rendering good account
OF themselves ana in previous en-
gagements have demonstrated their
ability to meet the willy Hun vic
! tOriOusly.
A new phase of the war was
brought. home to us the first of
the week by the arrival of German
submarines on the Atlantic coast.
The undersea divers have been oper-
ating NEAR the New Jersey coast and
they have already succeeded in
sinking several coasting vessels
with an aggregate tonnage OF 100000
tons and with loss of $50 lives.
The government has announced
that the presence of the submarines
will not slacken the flood of men
that is being sent out to France
each week under naval escort.
