"Pretty Sight" to See
Richmond Bloomington
in Action Says Press
(From indianapolis News

It is doubtful if there are two bas-
ketball teams in the state as light as
the Richmond and Bloomington fives.
1t was surely a pretty sight to watch
these two quintets, composed of men
whose speed and cleverness more than
made up for their diminutive size.
Perhaps the most interesting feature
of the Blooming ton-Richmond game
was the foul throwing of Esarey. The
little Bloomington center was almost
uncanny last year in his accuracy
along this line and seems due to re-
peat this season.

THE AMERICAN AND BLEASE

The News does not assume that a
very great number of people here
abouts read the Charleston Ameri-
can. And OF those who do read it,
we assume that comparatively few
attach any great Importance TO what
they read in it. The American has
twice been debarred from the mails
Tor disloyalty; its former editor is
now serving term in the federal
prison. 1t is not an easy matter'tO
live down in short space OF time
such things as these. Blease has
made disloyal utte.ances in speeches
and has not denied them. His can
dida,y is espoused by the Charles
ton American.
The Americans reports of the
Blease meetings are quite different
from reports carried by other daily
papers whose loyalty have not been
questioned. This is not partisan
politics because any newspaperman
who has a reputation is inclined to
be fair. But the stories printed in
the American are too absurd to be
taken Seriously by anyone even
slightly posted on current events.
For instance, we take the Able
Vile meeting last week Readers OF
The News are familiar with the facts
concerning Blease's bolt of the
party They remember how he
jumped out of the traces and refused
to attend the meetings arranged BY
the party and which are being n
tended by the other candidates. ,sBut

Hiding Behind skirts.
(Chester News.)


A great deal has been written and
said about the young men between
twenty-one and thirty-one getting
married to evade the draft law. Most
lors above the draft age but the fol-
lowing from recent issue Of the
New York Herald would indicate
that there are many men above
thirty-one who would prefer a
skirt" to the trenches.
Anything to beat the draft" is
the new motto at the Marriage Ii
cense Bureau where the rush con-
tinues of confirmed bachelors and
women haters to get married before
the new law goes into effect lifting
the draft age to forty-five years.
Middle aged men who have given up
all thought of marriage appear to
have decided suddenly to readjust
their way of living.
OF the 200 licenses issued daily
for the past few days, the great ma
jority of ages given by the men are
between thirty-two and forty-fve
years. Few if any go beyond the
forty-ive age limit, The applicants
nearly all insist upon being married
as soon as the licenses are. issued.
They do not propose taking any
chances.
1t will be mystery how all the
marriages are arranged so conven-'
iently. There either has been IA
surge of romance over Manhattan or

THE ALLIES PUSH FORWARD.


The past several days have
brought large gains to the allied
forces. The enemy is fleeing in dis
order, and huge numbers of prison.
ers, guns and material have been
captured The allied offensive in
Picardy has resulted in the capture
Of $4,000 prisoners, including more
than 1000 officers, and more than
500 guns. The enemy is putting up
o stiff fight in the region of Noyon,
midway between Montdidier and
Sossons in an effort to permit his
the direction of the Nesle and Ham
But the British forces at this point
e pushing forward and the German
retreat continues. The enemy is
bringing up reserves in the hope of
.scotching the onrush OF the allies.
The line continues to stretch to-
ward the German boundary, though
a determined effort is in prospect on
the part of the enemy to make a
stand north of Fismes and hold off
the pursuing Americans, French and
British The allies, however, are
civ N In 10 tf,,Nn 70 i,,ly
plan and the fighting goes on by day
and by night with disorder playing
more and more in the ranks Of the
Germans.
Chaulnes and Montdidier have
been taken by the allied troops and
the latter place, when this is writ
ten, has been left seven or eight
miles to the rear. The capture of
these towns are important in them
selves. Chaulnes was the German
railroad center and its fall into the
hands of the allies cuts off the Ger
man troops from sources of large
supplies.
The outstanding feature of the
operations during the past week is
that the allied troops have contin-
ually gone forward, pursuing the
fleeing Hun, close upon his heels
and in the face of all the resistance
the crown princes army could put
up. The advance OF the allies con-
tinues and the stand" of the enc
my around Noyon has no material
prospect Of meaning any more than
his opposition for the past several
days. which has been withstood with
remarkable fortitude and compara-
lively small losses.
On all of the fronts continued sue
cesses have come to the allies. The
French troops penetrated Saturday
deep into the Austrian entrench-
ments on Monte Sisemol and cap
tured $50 prisoners.
Sentiment in London is that the
battle is promising but not yet won.
The fighting goes on.

Gen. Foch's Rules.

Read thoughtfully. this brief rule
written by Gen. Foch for the conduct
OF infantry and light artillery attack
in modern war:
ssThey march straight at their aim,
seeing their objective. They hasten
their steps as they come closer, pre-
coded by a violent fire, helping them
selves by their shooting to take the
enemy az close quarters, leaping over
their first positions, throwing them
selves upon the ranks of the enemy
and settling the fight with cold steel,
by mere weight of bravery and will
power. The artillery helps, keeping
pace with them, supporting them and
covering them"
Then read closely accounts of the
advance of Franco-American infantry
and light artillery as they attacked
then Hun between the Aisne and the
Marine. Was ever precept more per-
fectly carried out by practice?

 A smile that is just as sweet. Give pity and sorrow to those who

FACTS ABOUT THE AMERICAN NAVY
 J. s. N
An Electrified Navy

Be thorough. Leave no loose ends. Go to the bottom and end of each task you tackle. But also know when to stop.
 At the beginning of the war men focked into the Navy. Many had never been aboard ship before. but by considering their previous occu- pations their detail to military duty was in most eases well arranged Special trades were saved for their own work. Carpenters remained car penters. Mechanics were given pref erence for engineroom and repair d1- visions. For dynamos and radio were needed tactical electricians.
 Experience is valuable, but an ex- pert wire man outside must more or less start all over again when he en- lists. Thus when a certain Jones was assigned to the job as striker Gap prentice) for electrician his first job was to learn the ship. "Go round and make a. list of all the uses of electricity you can find aboard,' was the orders he got.
 few minutes on deck were suf- ficient to show that the boats are hoisted by huge electric cranes, that winches and capstans have their own motors. That coal is hoisted aboard by electrically driven drums.
 He climbed up into a turret and discovered that it was practically all electric. The shell and powder were hoistcd by heavy motors. Even more powerful armatures were connected to the elevating and training gear. The ponderous breech could be un- screwed and swung back by the ever- ready juice
 Passing out of the turret he fol- lowed his nose and discovered din- ner cooking on electric ranges. In the bakeshop 8, patent dough-rnixer and just outside an ice cream freezer, both electrical, filled him with won der. He fingered longest at the po- tato pecier. "spud- skinner it's oper- ator called if.
 He found the laundry electric. and rra ctically the whole machine shop Scarchli@nts, telephones bells. deck lights, and buzzers had their own wiring. The engine room was half
