THOROUGH ORGANIZATION
Seventy-fve Per Cent of POpu

Rural Districts Out From

Over million South Carolinians
living in the rural districts of the
state will be given the opportunity
to support the United War Work
campaign through the agency of the
rural division of the big drive to be
conducted the week Of November
Ills.
Realizing that persons living il
remote sections have had little or
no chance to contribute to former
funds of this kind. national and
state campaign leaders have evolv-
ed a compact method for solicitation
which will carry the campaign to the
door of the man living in even the
remotest part of the country, thus
making the drive truly national
one in which all Americans will par
ticipate.
THE success OF the first United
War Work campaign will depend on
adequate and far-reaching local or
ganization," said A. T Corcoran.

AUSTRLA'S PLEA FOR PEACE IS REALLY
AN OFFER TO COMPLETELY CAPITUL
lha Way Request for Amstce Interpreted in
Military Circles; Germany Would Not Fight On With
Austria Out of War-Germany's Greatest Fear
is Invasion o German Soil

be practical to attack GERMANY
from the south. the best informed
entente officers on duty here firmly
believe that Germany would not at
tempt to fight on with Austria out of
the war. The greatest fear the Ger
mans have. they say. is OF invasion
of German soil, and in the end thew
believe. Germany will capitulate
rather than face that contingency.
Would Release Italian Armies.
Assessing the probable results OF
austrian surrender, officers pointed
out that it would release the italian
armies for operations elsewhere
Unless Turkey has also dropped out
of the fight by that time. it would
seem logical. il was said to expect
that these forces would be turned at
once to pressing the campaign
against Constantinople. With Tur-
key also out, the two Italian diyis-
ions now in France could be quickly
supplemented and another great ar
my erected on that front to crush
the wavering German lines.
One result OF Austrian capitura-
tion which cannot he gaugcu relia-
bly, in advance. is the situation Of
the 30 or more German divisions in
Russia. The German general STAFF
is known to have reduced the Ger
man forces in Russia to what was
regarded as the minimum Of safety
when the spring drive in France
was prepared. Recently. howeve.
1t has been learned that some OF the
divisions left there had been
brought hastily to the western line
and several were hurried to the
Danube front
Lacking Austrian help in Russia
the situation of the German forces
there would appear to be na-ilons
md officers say it would become vi
tally necessary that they be so dis
posed as to rest upon the Russo
German frontier. That would mean
a great curtailment Of Russian terri
tory they could police and complete
evacuation of Russia by the Ger.
mans was regarded as the logicaI
result.

POLITICS CONTINUES TO
HOLD CENTER OF STAGE
Campaign Statements Pour Out oS
Washington I'm One Contin-
uOuS stream

Washington, Oct. 31-PoliticaI ,
campaign statements continued to
pour out from Democratic and Re-
publican leaders.
Representative Fess, chairman OK
The national Republican congress-
ional committee. replying to Sec
r"tary Tumulty's letter to the Cuya-
hoga county Republican committee
at Cleveland Ohio said no previous
President in history had made re-
Guest Of the American electorate
similar TO that of President VIII
sons in his statement addressed to
his fellow countrymen asking the
return of Democratic congress.
Representative Ferris, chairman
OF the national Democratic con-
gressional committee. said the po-
litical controversy resolves itself
simply into whether the American
people desire to have the President
backed up by well trained military
establishment to conduct the war or
whether they wish it conducted by
polltcal committee of unSchooled
unframed men.
Two statements were issued by
Homer S. Cummings, acting chair
man of the Democratic national COM
mittee, One accused the RepubIi-
cans of capitaliZing the casualty list
for political purposes by trying to-
show that 12 northern and eastern
states have lost five times as many
soldiers in France as the IL south
ern states. The other said that
President Lincoln had made an an
peal during the Civil war similar 20
that by President Wilson and that
such an appeal was made on behalf
or President Mckinley during the
Spanish-American war.
